This is an unused image, whose intended purpose seems to be provide publicity to vandal edits. I do not see how this barnstar could be responsibly deployed, and am thus opening an FFD to gain community consensus. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 02:11, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please see the intended use in a template created by the uploader User:Wnt/Userboxes/The_Vandal's_Barnstar
Please see the use and reverting edit User:143.53.5.145&action=history here

Delete No use on wiki. It seems (as above) the only intended use was to congratulate people on vandalising wiki which seems rather stupid. The one intended use was reverted. ·Add§hore· ^{Talk To Me!} 02:29, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, no legitimate use possible. -- ТимофейЛееСуда. 03:06, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Of course, this is mostly comedy. But the "barnstar" was designed to congratulate vandals whose nonsense was quoted, word for word, in multiple scientific journals. Hopefully there won't be many of them, but the point is, that particular act of Wikipedia vandalism exposed that multiple people were not merely plagiarizing, but plagiarizing stuff that they didn't understand into what looks like scientific journals. That is a rare case in which vandalism actually exposes something of considerable interest about the world, which is I suppose the root "moral" of the joke.

Keep move the template to a Wikipedia:Department of Fun subpage and mark as ((humor)) -- 76.65.128.43 (talk) 08:30, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Great idea, let's start rewarding vandals! They have been too quiet recently and need some encouragement! This doesn't even belong in the humor department, as the joke is not funny at all. --Randykitty (talk) 07:22, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Jokes can be good, but it is best if they are employed with judgment. Per WP:DENY, even joking about this stuff is counterproductive. Johnuniq (talk) 06:36, 20 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The photo is identified as having been created by Yvonne Öhrbom, yet was uploaded by Richard Arthur Norton. While I have no doubt that the image was uploaded in good faith, and the uploader likely had the consent of the photographer, we need to have the release of this image under this particular license confirmed by the uploader herself. To do so, either the instructions at Commons:Commons:OTRS should be followed (see Wikipedia:Volunteer Response Team for more information), or some other evidence should be provided that Yvonne Öhrbom freely-licensed this image. Absent email confirmation from the photographer, received and catalogued through OTRS, or other acceptable evidence, this image should be deleted. Skeezix1000 (talk) 19:15, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Why is the kneejerk reaction to delete it, instead of waiting for the OTRS? I never understand why this has become the standard practice here. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 19:49, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The standard practice is to file the OTRS when one uploads the image, or at least to tag the image with OTRS pending when uploading the file. You did neither. Doing so would have saved everyone a lot of trouble. And the edit history of the file did not give one great confidence that you had the intention of providing the necessary source evidence on your own. --Skeezix1000 (talk) 20:05, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Of course you could have asked if I had filed an OTRS before marking for deletion. Doing so would have saved everyone a lot of trouble. Instead of guessing my intentions, which you did not do a very good job of, try asking next time. Edit histories have no bearing on whether an OTRS has been filed or not filed. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 22:04, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure why you are so miffed. You seem to know better, yet you uploaded an image without OTRS. When SecondaryWaltz identified the problem, your responses to him were frankly obtuse. Maybe you intended all along to get the OTRS, but your behaviour and comments certainly showed no indication of that. It's not clear why you seem to think others should jump through hoops or take additional steps to address problems you created. We're all busy, and none of have time to pursue you when you've rebuffed the first editor who tried. This deletion nomination accomplished precisely what it was intended to do - it prompted you to get the necessary OTRS information. That's why it has become standard practice. If you don't want to deal with such nominations, use the ((OTRS pending)) tag and/or communicate better when editors like SecondaryWaltz identify a problem. It's all up to you. --Skeezix1000 (talk) 14:31, 22 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I've placed a valid OTRS permission template on the file's page.--Rockfang (talk) 06:02, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
