The redirect/official-name thing has been under discussion on VT's Talk page since shortly after the shootings unleashed chaos upon Wikipedia's VT-related pages. It looks like someone decided to be overly- bold and make an end-run around the consensus issue. Feel free to say your piece on the Talk page, and thanks for helping hold the line until consensus is reached. -- Dynaflow 01:36, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
Hello Technion, an automated process has found an image or media file tagged as nonfree media, such as fair use. The image ( Image:Pansy Division 2003 Promo.jpg) was found at the following location: User:Technion. This image or media will be removed per statement number 9 of our non-free content policy. The image or media will be replaced with Image:NonFreeImageRemoved.svg , so your formatting of your userpage should be fine. The image that was replaced will not be automatically deleted, but it could be deleted at a later date. Articles using the same image should not be affected by my edits. I ask you to please not readd the image to your userpage and could consider finding a replacement image licensed under either the Creative Commons or GFDL license or released to the public domain. Thanks for your attention and cooperation. User:Gnome (Bot) -talk 04:06, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
A non-free image was recently removed from one or more of your userboxes. Please be advised that Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. Wikipedia policy does not allow templates (which includes userboxes) or user pages to contain any copyrighted content not under free license; so, for example, " fair use" images are explicitly forbidden. This clause is to be interpreted strictly and without exception, for legal reasons. You can research Wikipedia's fair use policy guidelines for more details.
I hope this does not discourage you from creating more userboxes, your contributions to Wikipedia are greatly appreciated. For images and other media that are freely available for use in userpages and userboxes, check out Wikimedia Commons. Thank you. ShadowHalo 09:08, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:Mac OS X Tiger.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 14:53, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

If you look at the iamges in Spatial_anti-aliasing, you'll probably notice that the image you reverted my change to (File:Antialiased-lanczos.png) looks a lot darker than the other two in the upper area where the pixel value is 50% gray (808080). That's because values in image files are assumed to be compressed with a gamma of about 0.45, so they get expanded by a power 2.2 when reproduced as display brightness. 0.5^2.2 is about 0.22, not a bad "mid gray", but far darker than the 50% white/black pattern should be. If it doesn't look too dark on your display, your display is probably way out of calibration, or set for a very low display gamma. My attempt to fix it by distorting the tone scale was somewhat 'arbitrary', but I think produced a result more representative of what would be expected from an accurate anti-aliasing of the scene.

I've reverted them, can you discuss them on the talk page and bring a reliable source as well? Youtube doesn't cut it - especially not on a WP:GA quality article. -- Eraserhead1 < talk> 17:44, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
