I was not aware someone put a "fair use" tag on that photograph. All I know is that the author has given his consent for the image to be used on wikipedia, and it is one of the few (good quality) N. Korean images we have here. Perhaps you could take another look. Myciconia 06:45, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
I actually work for the Indiana School of Medicine, Department of Ophthalmology. We have literally thousands of teaching photos in various formats, mostly in slide format, though we are mostly digital now. This image was one image from a stereo slide taken sometime during the 1970's or 1980's. -- Barista | a/k/a マイケル | T/ C 18:00, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Can you work your copy-vio magic on Wikipedia:Featured_picture_candidates/Dubrovnik? Thanks, - Ravedave 02:12, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
A number of computer and video game articles have 'Packaging artwork' chapters in them containing art from past and present releases, some I've created myself when I didn't know any better. I would appreciate if you could take a look at the Gradius III article (bottom of page) and determine whether these can be included or not. Thanks ~ Vic Vipr 09:00, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
Hi! For coincidence, I've noticed that you included a transparent background in this picture - Image:Portugal FPF crest.png - I know it was a long time ago, but would you make the same with Image:Blank pt CoA.PNG? I don't have the needed software, and as you seem to be able to do it, I decided to ask you for it. If you just can't, don't bother. Thanks anyway! Afonso Silva 09:40, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Please do not revert to the "free" image, this image is wrong and should not be used to depict the PS3. If you have any questions, please use the talk page. I would also suggest you read the talk page in it's entirety, as it has allready been established that the image is wrong. Havok (T/ C/ c) 09:41, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
Be aware that the page you linked to clearly states "This page is considered a guideline on Wikipedia. It illustrates standards of conduct that many editors agree with in principle. Although it may be advisable to follow it, it is not policy.
Furthermore, there are many users, including admins such as Alkivar http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Annieville_Elementary_School] that have an unobtrusive tiny picture in their signature line. If an image was gargantuan, I could understand, but the practice of a 20 pixel image in a sig is nothing to single an individual out for. -- Daniel Davis 18:27, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
I have made a critical Comment about your editing and it would be unfair for me to talk behind your back so I am Informing you.
I did not mean this Edit to be uncivil or Hurtful and I only meant it as a forceful Recommendation for you. I Apologize in advance. The comment is about how you are Removing Fair use Images Where the Policy says we are not allowed to use Fair use images and Several People are support you for that, However you should stop Removing Fair use images because your reasons for removing the Fair use images is wrong and only Complicates things.
If you feel my comment was too Whatever on the fallowing Talk page you may replace it with my comment above <!--and Comment out just the hurtful text -->. However don't just remove it and call it a personal attack because i did not mean it that way. Your are Trying to help when you remove fair use but you apparentely can't explain yourself and you are making it a lot harder for other Fair use Enforcers to Reexplain why the images can't be used because you don't Cite your policies and your reasoning is wrong. (If your reasoning was right we would be allowed to use the images, however we are not allowed to use the images for other reason)
Talk:List_of_Lost_episodes/Use_of_images#Policy_is_not_being_debated_here
I Apologize for the comment i made but it needs to be said
Also I would like to Inform you that Ned has, Despite his strong pro image POV, removed fair use images from the page while the discussion was still going on. You should keep this in mind that he is arguing we should be allowed to use Fair use images but Will not re add the images himself while we are talking about it.
I don't Know if i will be able to respond to you for a while. If you remove my comment place cite my permission to you to remove it so you don't get attacked for removing the comment.
Thank you -- E-Bod 23:15, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
(Fair use image(s) not allowed outside main namespace (WP:FUC #9) (please see user:ed g2s/Fair use for further explanation).)
From the looks of things, you get a lot of attacks from people for edits like this one... but I just came here to thank you for bringing the misuse to my attention! Seb Patrick 11:49, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
A request for mediation has been filed with the Mediation Committee that lists you as a party. The Mediation Committee requires that all parties listed in a mediation must be notified of the mediation. Please review the request at Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/List of Virtual Boy games, and indicate whether you agree or refuse to mediate. If you are unfamiliar with mediation, please refer to Wikipedia:Mediation. There are only seven days for everyone to agree, so please check as soon as possible. Since you're such a rules stickler I would think you would have the sense not to cause a revert war out of this and seek to get it resolved like I specifically asked for. -- SeizureDog 12:17, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
You have just removed all image from List of Puerto Ricans. What talk apge am I supposed to see for your explanation? Why did you remove public domain images? Cann't they be used in the list? Joelito ( talk) 17:44, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
Recently (at 18:20, 19 June 2006) you reverted
List of Lost episodes to a version that does not include the illustrations of the DVDs. You cited 'not discussed therefore not allowed' as your reasoning for this edit, and I am assuming that you believe
WP:FUC prevents the DVD illustrations from being used; however, if you were to read the policy properly, you would find that the DVD pictures most certainly are covered by fair use (go through the points and check them if you must)- the pictures clearly illustrate the DVDs that are discussed in the 'List of Seasons/DVDs' section of the article, therefore they are acceptable under fair use criteria.
There is also a
template that demonstrates that use of DVD covers qualifies as fair use.
Finally, as you are aware, there is an ongoing discussion on the talk page of the article concerning both the use of DVD cover pictures and the use of episode screenshots. I advise you to discuss the matter first under the
DVD Covers topic, as it may appear to some people that your lack of co-operation with the editing community shows that you only wish to disrupt the quality of this article (perhaps to prove a
point), which may explain the accusations of you behaving in a
dick-like fashion. Overall, the way you handle such situations as this could be drastically improved, especially seeing as you have taken it upon yourself to enforce supposed fair use violations, therefore you need to be able to justify your views to the community who may be opposed to your sudden and disruptive edits to the articles to which they contribute; your manner, behaviour and way you conduct yourself on wikipedia all need to be improved if you wish to avoid future confrontations, edit wars and general disruption.
P.S. I hope you can take this constructive criticism to improve the way in which you handle this situation and others (see
Dick-behaviour Remedies for further notes and pointers). --

Actually the easiest way for readers to identify video games is with a screenshot and Halo in particular is very notable in context to the system. I do not think there is any problem with keeping those screenshots in Xbox, as they are contextually relevent and there i hardly any fair use imagery on the page. -- larsinio (poke) (prod)
Have a quick look at Template:Infobox London. It might need some cleaning up. Thanks. Mrsteviec 10:58, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
Hi - you recently reverted my revert of {{ Infobox London}}. Please read the relevant discussion pages before making assumptions about whether or not edits are being made by consensus or not. A check of the history will also illustrate that the "custom" style was implemented per Talk:London discussions and has subsequently been altered without consensus. While edits are fine, I deemed changing changing back to infobox class was clearly not okay as consensus was reached on the basis of not using infobox class for the reasons I stated in my edit summary. Before reverting pages, I ask that you bear in mind that things may not seem as apparent as they look. DJR ( T) ( WC) 11:50, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
Seeing as all editors can warn, I would think it would be prudent of you to let a third party decide that. I would keep it there, and rather discuss it below the warning, and perhaps get an admin to look at it. Havok (T/ C/ c) 16:03, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
I've read what i need to read, and from what i have read everything is fine it qualifies as fair use and thus is a'o.k, Wikipedia is not a place for you to dictate what you think is right for fair use. Matthew Fenton [ t/ c 16:20, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Could I ask you to assist in the removal of excessive fair use imagery in the Computer and video game space pertaining to video game characters? These are usually a violation of WP:FUC #8 where a character is often illustrated beyond what is necessary in different outfits and poses. However, a small number of editors are actively monitoring these articles and will often revert any valid fair use removals.
If you're interested, you can use these templates for quicker access and a complete overview: {{ Megamanzero}}, {{ Tekken series}}, {{ King of Fighters Characters}}, {{ megamanclassic}}.

Hey. I don't know if you use some sort of script or bot for this, but the edits tend to corrupt Japanese (and possibly other) alphabets. See [1] for example, where 特撮 (Kanji) has become ?? (Question Marks). smurrayinch ester( User), ( Talk) 20:56, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
