First off, on behalf of myself and my co-coordinator
Wizardman, I would like to thank you for the efforts that you have made so far in this
GAN backlog elimination drive. It has been nothing short of a success, and that is thanks to you. See this
Signpost article about what this drive has achieved so far.
We're currently heading into the final week of the drive. At this time, if you have any GANs on review or on hold, you should be finishing off those reviews. Right now, we have more GANs on review or on hold than we do unreviewed. If you're going to start a GA review, please do so now so you can complete it by the end of the month and so that the nominator has a full 7-day window to address any concerns. See you at the finish! |

On behalf of my co-coordinator Wizardman, I'd like to especially thank you for your efforts over this past month's GAN backlog elimination drive. It has been nothing short of a complete success, which hopefully results in more expedient good article reviews, increasing users' confidence in the good article nomination processes. Even if you made just a small contribution, it still helped contribute to the success of this drive. Here is what we have accomplished this last month in this drive.
For those who have accomplished certain objectives in the drive, awards will be coming shortly. Again, thank you for your help in the drive, and I hope you continue to help review GA nominations and overall improve the quality of articles here on Wikipedia. |

banI see you have successfully banned Frei Hans after bringing it to ANI. The problem with your ban is that there is no basis for the ban listed in ANI. There is a link (evidence) that you present but it is just one edit that says the guy has many IPs. This is bad behavior but not necessarily an offence to cause ban. It would be better if proposed bans were written more clearly. I do not say the ban is unjustified. I only say that the ban proposal is not clearly written. You managed to get a conviction without presenting a case. Based on the one edit that you mention, I am not inclined to oppose the proposed ban. However, Wikipedia culture is that if anyone makes an inquiry on ANI like the above, he will immediately be accused of being a sock. So legitimate questioning like below gets strongly discouraged. A better written ban might be... User 123 should be banned. She doesn't contribute productively to WP. In the past 3 months, no productive mainspace edits have been made. She has edited about 1000 times to Turkish related articles, primarily using unreliable sources to deny the Armenian genocide exists, such as --- and --- and ---. 3RR violations are common despite counseling. A mentor attempt was not successful (see ---). She also creates 5 socks per day to vote with her (see CU) ---. Short blocks have not helped. She also threatens other editors by saying she will stalk them and break their windows. Examples of these threats include ----. Therefore, I propose ban. Otherwise, you get a case like... I propose that Katey Renieta Gonzales be jailed. User 1
Yet, nobody knows what happened unless they read this. http://www.theprovince.com/news/Girl+charged+stabbing+death+fellow+teen+party/3069218/story.html Good luck in better writing.

Hi, User:Innapoy uploaded a number of images of members of the Rhode Island House of Representatives. The first image he/she uploaded was File:MRice.jpg, which received an OTRS permission. The user then uploaded more images, always referring to email sent to the permissions email address. However, most of the images were uploaded February and no notice was added to any of them since. Could you check whether some permission from "General Assembly Press Secretary L. Berman" exists that allows all these images to be used? Thank you Hekerui ( talk) 22:56, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
I just deleted File:AFJP.jpg based on ticket 2009062310067779, one of yours. Could you double check I haven't missed anything?

Consider awarding everyone who is in the current round (not that many!) a little template notice thanking them for Wikicup participation and achieving the third round. It would be sort of a prize. That way, not only is Wikipedia a winner but everyone who has survived this far would also be a winner, not just the winner of the cup. Yet it is worded in a way not to take away any of the glory that the winner receives.
Sample (have pity, my first attempt at making a template):

Hi,
I noticed [4] from you. However, the description you gave with the image doesn't make any sense (not trying to be harsh, it is unfortunately the case). His party wasn't in government for three years, so he was already a while not the state secretary for education. And in the Netherlands, there is no such position as leader in the HoR. He is leader of the largest party and likely to become prime minister, but that is about it formally.
Could you explain where you got that description from? Because the source might need some adaption too then :) THanks! -- effeiets anders 22:19, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
Hi there.
Re. Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates#The Lazarus Effect (film)
I've avoided FP for ages, because when I did try to get involved, I found it a very harsh environment. I guess I suggested this one, partly as you say because it's unusual for OTRS permission to be granted, partly because I admire the 'cause' as it were, but mostly because I thought it encyclopaedic.
Anyway - I will try not to care - the only Q. I have is... is there any point us attempting to get a better quality version (to avoid the 'artefacts' that someone mentioned) - or, is it a lost cause, because it is deemed 'not interesting enough'? Personally, the pic would grab my attention on main, but maybe that's just me, and I am happy to bow to the knowledge of those more adept in judging such things.

Hi, hate to burden you with this, but.. (sigh).. Lemmy is one of those articles that, after you click the photo on the page, you find the information from the upload to Commons, but also a little yellow sign saying to check out whether everything is correct, and then remove the sign. (Or, that's what I take that sign to mean. I don't mess with them.) Today on the second photo in the article for Lemmy, I find the yellow tag, and the original Flickr upload info, and I clicked the URL to see if the photo was OK under a Creative Commons license we accept, and it is not. We don't accept anything but the Attribution (BY) or the Attribution Share Alike licenses, (CC-BY-SA) and this one has a non-commercial tag on the license as well (CC-NC-SA) as a watermark with her name: [5] I understand that all this can be waived if the photographer changes the licensing, and it appears a bunch of Wikipedias in different languages are using the photo.
Also, now that we are on the subject, this GREAT photo of Karl Denson was uploaded here apparently by the photographer, (it is his photostream connected), but although we have a sign saying Share Alike Attribution, he has kept his copyright on the original Flickr page, and it bears a watermark with his name-- the uploaded picture has it too. Can you please help deal with these two photos? I really appreciate your help! -- Leahtwosaints ( talk) 18:25, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
The next round has 16 spots. 15 people qualify. 2 editors are tied for the 16th spot. Can you have 17 competitors?
If there is a problem, consider promoting 17 people and asking for a volunteer to withdraw. If this is requested, I will strongly consider withdrawing during the first few days of the next round. I don't want to withdraw now but want to stumble past the next round. In the future, consider making this a rule (can have a few people over the planned number of competitors if they are tied).

for your comments on my page on Barend van Niekerk . To take your points in turn:
(a) The description "a brilliant jurist" is not a non-neutral, subjective evaluation; it is objectively sustainable from van Niekerk's academic career and the judgments of distinguished peers. Newton was a brilliant scientist; Einstein a brilliant mathematician. It is therefore to be distinguished from subjective evaluations such as "The reviewer was a self-important arse."
(b) the word "proving" here is quite clearly used in the sense of "testing" (from the Latin probare), not in the sense of establishing as a matter of fact; c.f the phrase "the exception that proves the rule". The reference is therefore objective and neutral.
(c) Your note regarding BvN's action in painting the Old Station roof, the language of his daughters etc. is your only point that is at all justified. However, biographic content necessarily contains biographic material.
(d) for you to suggest that the above references are "completely inappropriate" is exaggerated, discourteous and incorrect. Jonpost1 ( talk) 12:43, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
Okay, help me out here please. I have been trying to upload this picture for some time now and every time it has been taken down due to some uncertainty about some copy right issue or another. Since this is the front cover of a published book I know that I am with in my rights, under fair use agreements, to upload this picture. Since this is a very rare book I also know that it is highly unlikely that there are ANY alternative sources or subsitutes for this picture.
What should I do?
This is a picture taken from a newspaper publication in 1948 that is now in the public domain. It is already put-up, with out any problems I might add, on the Afrikaans version of the the wiki entry for the De Villiers Graaff entry. How can I keep this picture up? What more information is needed or under what category should it be saved under?
I do not understand; this is a picture of a flag of historical geographic region that I made my self in the same way that the other version of this ensign was made. The only difference being its dimensions and the save file type. It would be greatly appreciated if you could give me more information on why its a "Possibly unfree File"?
Thanks-- Discott ( talk) 10:18, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

Hey there J Milburn. (I'm not sure if I should wait until this competition is over or not so I'll just directly ask you since you are the most active of the three judges) With the unfortunate retirement of IMatthew, you are the last "very active" WikiCup judge (true there is Fox and Ed but I've yet to really see any major contributions by them in terms running the competition, no disrespect to either of them intended). I was wondering, I'll likely not partake in next year's competition for personal reasons as I simply will not have the time to write at such a fast pace as I currently am (To be honest, I'll likely be eliminated this round for those very reasons). However I have every intention to continue my assistance in the behind the scenes work that I've been doing for the past few months. As a result, I'm interested in becoming the fourth judge for next year's WikiCup. I'd be more than happy to help you out in making the pools, the poster, updating the contestant's page and of course attending to the many issues brought up at the talk page. I know that this may be a little early to be asking such things but I'm just asking for your opinion on the matter. Would you be OK with having me helping you out next year as a judge instead of a contestant? Thanks,-- White Shadows I ran away from you 02:53, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

What else could I do to make them better? I understand that they may not be "perfect" but if the criteria for deletion is based on any one person's notion of "perfect" rationale that just makes me uneasy. In a perfect case, what else would I need to provide to leave no room for human judgement of my rationale? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pmicka ( talk)

Hello! Sorry to be such a nuisance with my uploaded photo. In answer to your questions, Dr. Fox is the director of the Honors Program at Utah State. She provided the picture to me for upload to Wikipedia. She, as the program director, took the picture at a school-sponsored function, which means (as it was explained to me) that the Honors Program is the sole owner of the rights of the picture. I selected Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 2.0 because it seemed like the license that was most appropriate. If I messed up, or if you have any other questions, let me know. I apologize again for being a burden. Hydrobrain ( talk) 19:58, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
Edit uploaded. If you're interested in how I work, read the retouched template. It reveals a technique which works well for that kind of image where the colours are obviously wrong. It doesn't work on colour images, of course, but if a colour image was as off as that one was, you should probably just give up =) Adam Cuerden ( talk) 14:58, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

We do not use a non-free image until we are absolutely certain there is no possibility of a free image. There are plenty of pictures of this person on the Internet, and I'm sure, with a little effort, there's a good chance of finding a free one or having one released. With the current attention the article is getting, there is a higher liklihood of a free image being added- I've seen it happen many times. You're a decent long-time editor, so I'm not going to patronise you, but I can assure you that our non-free content policies are more conservative than you seem to believe.
You seem determined to delete images from this encyclopedia, but you don't seem to know or understand why you are doing it. There is no policy that says that " non-free images cannot be used until we are certain a free image is not possible". It says, rather, that non-free images can be used "where no free equivalent is available". So, until you find one, or make one available, they can be used. Until a free image becomes available, it is destructive to discard these images. I hope you will rethink this, because what you did in this instance is bad for the project. Best regards, -- Ssilvers ( talk) 23:16, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
Why are you destroying images? It appears that you don't really know. I don't think you can defend deleting fair-use images from articles that have no illustrations at all. It makes no sense, and it is not what the policy requires: because it is the wrong thing to do. Frankly, I don't see any point in discussing this further, unless you have a new point to make. -- Ssilvers ( talk) 23:50, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
HLWiki Canada was my first real article I created, so I am very much a newbie. I have added a link to academic citations in the hopes that it will meet the criteria for inclusion. I have also added a licence to the logo and made the name change, as per the suggestions of the community page. Since I am still learning, some of the technical difficulties have been hard to manage but thank you for your comments and any suggestions that you may have for improvement would be much appreciated.

Hi there. With regard to the Mega Drive article, I would say that much of the non-free content is indeed extraneous* but I would argue that the logos (from your summary: "Three logos?!") probably do not constitute inappropriate use. The logos are region specific (Asia, Europe/Austrilasia and North America) and therefore all three are required for product identification and commentary (the grounds by which they are used). I also take issue with the phrase "Still way too much" as that implies that even if their use is justified, an article can only have a limited number of non-free images, which as far as I can tell is not the case. If it is against policy I apologise, but could you please point me to the section which says so? Logically, I can't see any reason why there would be a limit on justified non-free content (that is, non-free content where there is good reason for its inclusion and for which a free alternative is unavailable, such as logos).
*Game screenshots, advertising etc. The Sonic cover certainly does qualify as extraneous now you mention it.

I see that in the past the article has been vandalized and I submit that is being vandalized now. I noted that until today the birth date in the year 2000 had passed through many edits since being changed from 2002. I had assumed that the first citation established that year. I noted today that it had been changed to 1999. The citation is dead. Despite this, the birth year was changed with no reason or citation given. I changed the year back to 2000. Now I just noted that my request for a citation has been removed and the birth year changed to 1999. Does not removing a request for a citation and just changing an established value with no reason or citation given constitute vandalism?. Perhaps the birth date should be changed to an approximate year; the month and date removed? 1archie99 ( talk) 02:31, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
No problem. This is something else that merits further research (though not for the current case, as far as I know): "Art is also deemed published if it was exhibited before 1978 at a place in which the public is permitted to photograph or copy the artwork." [9] Ty 01:44, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

Hello,
This is in reference to File:Kenneth Kamal Scott headshot.jpg, which was posted to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenneth_Kamal_Scott. I obtained the necessary permission e-mail from Mr. Scott, who owns the copyright for the photograph, and have twice forwarded it via e-mail to <permissions-enwikimedia.org> in the past week. Nevertheless, you still deleted the picture, I presume because the permission was lost or has not been read yet. As a new user, the amount of information here is a bit overwhelming - I'm wondering if you could offer a quick word of advice as to how I should proceed? I've e-mailed <permissions-enwikimedia.org> to ask for an explanation with no reply. I'm not even sure who to contact about this problem, or whether waiting would be a better tactic. Thanks for your patience with a new user learning the ropes.

The Wikipedia Signpost have decide that you should not be able to read commentary on the problems with censorship. This is the first time commentary has been censored from the Wikipedia Signpost, however, evidently, speaking out against Jimbo Wales' actions in the recent Commons debacle is too controversial.
Since I started editing Wikipedia, I've created literally hundreds of Featured pictures, a dozen or so Featured articles, a couple Featured portals, a featured list, and various other things.
What has my reward been?
I've been harassed, bullied, and generally treated like dirt. An arbcom case was opened by Charles Matthews, then a sitting arbitrator, to punish me for not immediately agreeing to his request to reconsider a block, with no additional information than "I think it's a good idea". I instead sought opinions on ANI, and so Charles Matthews got his friends in the Arbcom to harass me for three months. After two months, they decided that they really should have sought other means of dispute resolution, and opened an RfC... which came out firmly in my decfense. This wasn't what they wanted, so they ignored it, attacked those who spoke out against me, and did what they wanted
It took a year for the Arbcom to finally agree to withdraw the case, replacing it with an apology, and detailing the many procedural and ethical lapses.
More recently, I've been blocked for having an arbcom statement slightly over the limit - while I was in the middle of a lengthy rewrite. The other user I was in dispute with also had a statement over the limit throughout that time... and was never so much as warned.
Wikipedia treats its users like shit, but, ironically, only the long-time experienced users. If you ever begin to become jaded, your upset at Wikipedia will be used to implement more injustices.
Here we see an example. At the start of the news cycle, I wrote an editorial, following the Signpost's stated guideance for such. When it was done, I was told that they no longer publish editorials, and, instead of raising a fuss, I offered to simply publish it as a comment to stories, and the thread discussing it was closed.
Two hours before publication, the editor of the Signpost deleted the comment, without telling anyone. I objected; he had participated in the discussion, and the discussion had been closed for nearly a week, with the comment ready for publication throughout that time. I had dropped my insistence on publication of editorials, or any attempt to revise the article into a non-editorial overview, based on what I had seen as the agreement.
Now, not only is talking about censorship censored, but even a private complaint about at the [ http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Wikipedia%3AWikipedia_Signpost%2FNewsroom&action=historysubmit&diff=375694073&oldid=375693486 editor making grossly inaccurate personal attacks against me, based on patently false allegations, has been censored.
I quit.

Dear J Milburn,
You recently reverted my edits regarding some files that I had uploaded (Guinness 2007 [10], Guinness 2008 [11] and Guinness 2009 [12]), and I do now understand the distinction between image uploading and image "ownership"; I do not own the copyright. However, if you will please hear me out for a moment, I would still like to implore you to remove the bot requesting the files to be deleted because they are considered "orphaned."
While it is technically true the images themselves are not used in the articles, I uploaded them for the specific task of using them as extremely vital references to citations that were used in not one, but three, articles: " Candle in the Wind 1997," " White Christmas" and the list of best-selling singles worldwide. The images, as references, are integral to the viability of the articles. I was extremely frustrated at seeing incorrect statistics being cited due to a lack of reliable references, and I realised the only way to set the record straight was to provide images of the one and only irrefutable source that could verify the correct statistics, The Guinness Book of World Records, so I decided to upload the pertinent pages to be used as references. (And I knew that mere quotes from the pages would not suffice, seeing as the very Guinness Books I had scanned had consistently been misquoted in the articles many times over).
If only I were more technologically adept, perhaps I would have known how to upload the images to a separate file hosting website, and then I simply could have linked the references to that site...but I frankly have no idea how to do such a thing; thus, I uploaded them to Wikipedia. However, it does not seem that it was done in vain, because since doing so, I have been contacted and commended several times by other Wikipedians who were very thankful that someone was able to finally provide clear and concise evidence to articles which have hitherto been mired in confusion and controversy. I feel that the images are necessary for the articles, and I would not have gone through the considerable trouble of uploading them if I did not genuinely believe they would be an important asset to both the articles to which the images pertain and to Wikipedia as a whole. Therefore, I certainly hope that you will remove the bots from the images I uploaded, because I am quite sure that if the pages (and the many references that are made to them) are gone, we will once again soon have three more statistically inaccurate, unreliable articles. (Furthermore, if you could inform me if there is a way to prevent future bots from being added to the files claiming that they are "orphaned", I would be most appreciative, as this is actually the second time this week that I have had to request that bots be removed from these files.)

Tony brought up a picture for VPC and the page it's on has 3 images (including the one Tony nominated) of questionable OTRS. They're images released by a library but taken well within the copyright range of the original photographer. Could you check that the OTRS ticket contains evidence that the photographers have (a) provided full copyright release to the library and (b) that the library has presented us evidence they have that copyright release? Otherwise It's probably a copyright violation. The images are below. — raeky T 01:29, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

Hello there,
I would like to report User:SexyKick for continuously reverting valid edits made to the [Mega Drive] article. Details can be read here on the article's talk page.
My attempt to contact this person via his/her talk page remained fruitless. He kept reverting edits ( even yours, removing the non-free tag).
Prior to that, this person contacted me accusing me of vandalism when I tried to reword a few sentences of a section of the article ("Console Wars") with the goal to eventually clean the entire article of bias, speculation and weasel words to focus on facts alone.
Here's the edit in question. Since then, practically every single edit made to the article was reverted by this person - and definitely every single one of mine.
Now he/she proposed at the article's talk page that I should get approval by him for any edits I do by talking things through with him - prior to editing. I think that this is unacceptable. It took me (and others) several days trying to explain to this person that certain variants of the console itself were released under a different name - without result as of yet. And that was something that would have been easy to look up if he/she were genuinely interested.
I hope you can help, or at least redirect me to someone who can. I really don't know what to do with this guy. DCEvoCE ( talk) 00:57, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

A photographer with a high quality Temple Grandin image responded to my emails. Sadly, his Father passed away and is the reason for his delay. But he raises an important question that I need help answering: does releasing an image under the Share Alike 3.0 license allow for commercial redistribution? In other words, and I'm talking for him, if he released the image to Wikipedia under the Share Alike license, would anyone who published a book about Temple Grandin be able to use his image as the cover to their book with out compensating him? I read the license, but I want to be extra sure on this one. Also, he is English, so they have good courts.

Sorry, I sent you the wrong link. The PDF image for Great Eastern Run isn't mine and I have informed the user who told me about it that they can delete it. However, the photo File:View of Seoul.JPG is my own and it is this photo that I was referring to in my last message (sorry for the confusion). What should I do about this photo, seeing as it is my own?
Thanks

Hi Milburn, I uploaded this file yesterday, I have given all the informations, this is not of my creation. But I have given the name of the photographer. I got this picture from adil khan in an email, where the photographer has given permission to get it uploaded. adil had forwarded me the email. This is the email in Norwegian language. "

Hei Adil,
beklager at jeg ikke har fått svart deg før nå. Det går litt fort i svingene her. Du må gjerne bruke bildet på wikipedia og det er helt greit for meg at det kan lastes ned. Trenger du noe offesielt fra meg eller holder det at jeg sier det er ok i denne mailen?
Håper du koser deg i solen :-)"
Med vennlig hilsen
Morten
here is the word after word translation with google translater, that is why this is not that good.
" Hi Adil,
sorry I have not answered you before now. There is a bit fast in the turns here. You're welcome to use the picture on wikipedia and it's okay for me that it can be downloaded. Need something officially from me or will I say it is ok in this email?
Hope you enjoy the sun :-)
Sincerely,
Morten"
please, let me know what do you need to satisfy you. But since I have uploaded the same picture 3 times, can you delete the 2 which I did not add any description for. Please reply. regards Jogibaba ( talk) 16:40, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
I sent an email to the photographer Morten Bendiksen explaining that the image of Adil Khan must be licensed under a free license, what the cc-by-sa-3.0 license is, that he is under no obligation to release the image, and how to provide evidence of permission if he wants to release the image. Let's see how he responds. Hekerui ( talk) 17:02, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

I've chipped in at Talk:Heroscape#New_articles.2C_categories.2C_etc and copied that post to Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Board_and_table_games#Heroscape_-_cross_posting_from_Talk:Heroscape, in the hope of getting more eyes onto these strange pages and categories.

The crest serves the same function as the flag of a country or state (see United States for example). Unless you are planning on going through and deleting all flags and seals of all countries on Wikipedia (real or fictional) your rational is invalid. However if you feel that the current set up is unclear to its usage, please feel free to correct it, that would be appreciated. ( The Matrix Prime ( talk) 19:15, 5 August 2010 (UTC))
Hi - thanks for note re copyright issues on Audio files I uploaded(File - Polyhymnia - Jonathan Little and Kyrie- Jonathan Little).

May not be able to do this until 8th August but will be on it. Rzanker ( talk) 20:55, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

User talk:Superbrutaka07.The images posted by me had been taken from my camera itself. So I don't think that they should be deleted. I'm sorry I didn't provide any info while uploading it as I didn't know how to do so. Superbrutaka 07 FCB Rocks!!!Messi Rules!!! —Preceding undated comment added 12:14, 6 August 2010 (UTC).
Thanks for the message re: the above file. I'm working on my [ page] on the article which will host the above image, and it was here that I originally uploaded it, however, a BOT deleted it. Can I not upload such images to articles being prepared on talk pages? I would regret it if it became deleted as it is the book's front cover. Please advise and best wishes.

Thanks for the clarification -- I'll try to move the page within a week. Cheers, Jprw ( talk) 16:21, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
I know you and I historically don't get along, but thank you for cleaning up File:GunCrazy2DVDCover.jpg, which I requested undeleted. I appreciate your legwork.-- Chris (クリス • フィッチ) ( talk) 09:20, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
