Recent deletion of Category:Wikipedians who scuba dive

I have undone this recent deletion by your bot ^demon. I ask you to discuss this deletion at the category talk page.

You deleted this image on June 12th I believe. Can you please restore it as it is for a page of a band who i am aquainted with. i dont believe it has any copyright. thanks —The preceding unsigned comment was added by A Pink Blue Thing (talk • contribs).

Wrongful Deletion of the File:Henry O. Studley Tool Chest Open.jpg

I have been away from[REDACTED] for a while, and I just noticed that the image for the Henry O Studley article that I uploaded was deleted by you. I was enquiring as to why it was deleted, as it was properly documented with the source and the licensing info, as it is a fair use image. I am fairly sure I complied with all the[REDACTED] rules regarding images.

If it can be restored by you please do so. If not please send me a message on my talk page explaining what I failed to do to make the image an acceptable[REDACTED] image. It is my understanding that all works done by the federal government fall under the fair use license.

Thanks for any reply. CoolMike 21:20, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Just thought I'd include a link to the article for your reference. I realize it was probably a while ago that the image got deleted.

Henry O Studley

Thanks

Sorry about my somewhat angry tone earlyer... I have since discovered that the issue is a little thornier than I had thought. The image was from the smithsonian institution, which is funded by the US federal government. They have a long copywrite notice here: copywright notice The image that I want to re-upload is here: . Maybee you can help me make sence of this. According to the SI web site I should be able to use it as[REDACTED] is a non-profit, educational web site. I gather that there is some conflicting policies from the Smithsonian Institution about this sort of thing. Check out that wikilink for info. It seems to me like the image is good to be used in wikipedia, but I figured I'd ask your opinion and read up on the[REDACTED] policies a little more before uploading any more images from the smithsonian. CoolMike 00:17, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

The only issue is that our downstream mirrors (such as Answers.com) do not necessarily support the "non-profit" model, which means this image cannot necessarily be distributed to them. ^demon 00:36, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

There seems to be some contradictions on the[REDACTED] policy regarding the use of "Fair Use" images. See wikipedia:Reusing Misplaced Pages content (towards the end of the page) and wikipedia:non-free content (the section entitled "Down stream content". In my opinion the article in question warrents the use of a fair-use image becuase there is no other easily available public domain image. I have looked around pretty extensively for a picture of Henry O. Studley, or his tool chest that is public domain, and I was unable to find any. The tool chest is currently in the possession of a private and annonymous collector, and so it is unlikely that a free use image is going to turn up any time soon. Henry O. Studley him is deceased. This leads to a quandry, as there are only fair use images for the article. These images would add a great deal to the article. Also they are not expressely forbidden by the[REDACTED] policies. Is there any due process for appealing a speedy deletion? The more I read about[REDACTED] policy the more dissatisfied I become with the contradictory and ambiguous nature of the policies. A simple vote or something would be much more satisfying to me than trolling through some of these really porely worded guideline pages. Thanks for your feedback by the way CoolMike 01:22, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Please respond CoolMike 21:51, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Restored. ^demon 15:13, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks a bunch. Is there anything I can do / should do to make the copyright/licensing notices more complete? Any suggestions would be much appreciated. It appears the old template for licensing from the smithsonian institution has been removed. CoolMike 16:03, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Historical

Greets, I have removed the historical tag you applied to WP:CEM. Take a gander at my talkpage, it appears there is still interest and perhaps an impending CEM case. What are you thoughts?

Cheers! Navou 05:43, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

That's fine. If there's still activity then it can keep going. It had just appeared to me to be dead. All the best, ^demon 15:32, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

Image:Oscar2.jpg

you deleted this image while i was in the process of providing rationale and justification for its use.--emerson7 | Talk 16:35, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

• I have listed the image at WP:FUR. Its use violates NFCC#1, NFCC#2, and NFCC#8. Cheers. -N 17:49, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

Need your expert help!

Hello! I hope you are feeling great! Anyway, I would like to have your expert help with regards to a template. For further information, please view this page. I hope that you will be able to fix this minor problem, so as to achieve greater consistency in this project. --Siva1979 15:22, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

I'm sorry but I don't know much about template conditionals :( ^demon 15:24, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Image:Ateam.jpg

I am confused by your reason for deleting Image:Ateam.jpg. You stated that it was unsed, yet I found out it had been deleted becuase it's no longer visible in the Infobox on the The A-Team page. As an entertainment image, these are usually allowable under fair-use. Since the image was in use at the time you deleted it, you should have given due notice to the article talk page before speedying the image, and allowed someone to correct the fair-use rationale. Please consider saving us both time by restoring the image. Thanks. - BillCJ 18:02, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Games Workshop photos of Games Workshop miniatures

As you recently reviewed some of these, you may be interested to know that I have started a discussion at WP:FUR#22 July 2007 about the whether Games Workshop photos of Games Workshop miniatures are "replaceable" fair-use images or not. Cheers --Pak21 18:42, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Image:Atease3.jpg

I am curious about your deletion of this image under WP:CSD#I5, as this image was used in the article At Ease and seems to have been there for over a year. — The Storm Surfer 22:06, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Free and non-free images

Greetings. There have been several cases lately where your interpretation (and possibly copyright law) has differed from mine. (I'm an admin who deals a lot with copyright issues, and I created the {{replaceable fair use}} template.) Most of these cases involve photographs of copyrighted subjects, such as the Oscar statue and game figurines. Please see the discussion at Misplaced Pages:Fair use review. All the best, – Quadell 00:41, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Your image deletion

Hi ^demon, can you explain why you deleted File:NASTARKidRacing2.JPG despite the fact that the deletion was contested, and without responding to the specific points I raised on its page? You said "Speedy deleted per (CSD i7), was an image with an invalid fair use rationale and the uploader was notified more than 48 hours ago", yet you made no attempts to engage in discussion regarding its status. 12:46, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

You say the image is easy to replace. I spent a long time looking and wasn't able to find a single one. I wrote the organization, and they were kind enough to send me this one. All their images are copyrighted, and they have to be released by the competitor. This is a promotional image released by the organization, and FU has a specific provision for promotional images. If you can suggest a way to get a free replacement, please do. Otherwise, please undelete, and please engage in discussion on the image's talk page, instead of just deleting.

Obsolete NC images for deletion

Obsolete NC images without rationales such as Image:Captain norton.png, Image:Norton_commander.png and Image:Norton_Commander_5.0.png are not needed in article, because modern NC 5.51 for DOS image with rationale already added and modern NC 2.01 for Windows image with rationale already added are enough to illustrate Norton Commander in DOS and Windows versions.

Jackie Robinson's Retired Number

I found this in the deletion log of an image I uploaded.

12:53, 23 July 2007 ^demon (Talk | contribs) deleted "Image:Jackie Robinson Retired Cut.PNG" (Speedy deleted per (CSD i7), was an image with an invalid fair use rationale and the uploader was notified more than 48 hours ago.)

Now, I did not recieve any kind of warning. I'd like to know what just happened behind my back while people claim that I was informed when I wasn't. -- Silent Wind of Doom 17:53, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Sorry you weren't notified. The bots always notify, so I've gotten in the habit of not even checking behind anymore. ^demon 23:53, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Image:Garykarr.jpg

could you point me to the nomination for this image for speedy delete? --emerson7 | Talk 14:17, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

There is no nomination page, it was nominated directly on its image page. ^demon 14:20, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Image deletion

I'm not sure if you saw my last post - it was archived without comment, so I'll repeat it here. I'm a little confused about why you deleted Image:53logo.JPG under CSD I5 (orphaned fair-use image) when it was being actively used in an article (Fifth Third Field (Toledo)), in accordance with WP:LOGO, and was not orphaned. I'm not sure if I've misunderstood the situation - I don't know much about images, and I know fair use is complicated - or if this was an error. I won't undelete it without your consent, as I'm not confident in my knowledge of image use policy. Walton 16:44, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
