Problematic issues on this project

Noting progress on these: I deleted the "Masked Avengers" transcript (with a note on the article's talk page), and deleted the following three images as well; but then was advised to restore the Sharp and Lahore images, since Pakistan apparently has liberal freedom of panorama laws. -Pete (talk) 22:10, 12 August 2013 (UTC)
Thanks Pete, you are right in that Pakistan does have FOP, however, in the case of billboards, the words "permanently situated" will definitely come into play; billboards are inherently transitory in nature. They aren't permanently displayed. This is something that needs to be looked at. It is my opinion that they are not permanently displayed, and hence the Pakistani FOP laws do not apply in this case -- I should note that this opinion is based in part on Commons:COM:PRP. Russavia (talk) 21:38, 13 August 2013 (UTC)
I nominated those two at FFD: Misplaced Pages:Files for deletion/2013 August 14 and Misplaced Pages:Possibly unfree files/2013 August 14. (In hindsight, they probably both should have gone in "possibly unfree files.") Thanks for the analysis. -Pete (talk) 20:39, 14 August 2013 (UTC)
Done. Seems fairly straight forward. — Richard BB 15:09, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

  • Nigeria–Russia relations - translated copyvio of . Revert back to this to remove the copyvio. English Misplaced Pages community advised of copyright violation at 8.16pm, 20 August 2013.
Done. Thanks, keep 'em coming! — Richard BB 15:16, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

* Sandor Earl - WOOF! I dunno about others but I think that a BLP being referred to on multiple occasions by their unofficial team-given nickname of Princess throughout the article would be a bad BLP violation. It's a shame that I am having to bring this to the attention of this community given Earl's high profile in the Australian media at the moment.

Fixed. — Richard BB 15:37, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

DYK for Pricasso

Updated DYK queryOn 23 August 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Pricasso, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Pricasso (pictured), an Australian artist who paints with his genitals and buttocks, studied furniture design after failing to get an art degree? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Pricasso. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Gallery of photos

Ignoring all rules, below is a gallery of images I've been uploading that could see use on English Misplaced Pages. Some of these images are new to articles, and some are replacing NFCC images which should be deleted (I will make note of the NFCC images in the copyvio section above)

Videos

WP:BIAS and gender gap

The following are photos which have been uploaded to Commons by myself, but for which no article exists on this project for the person pictured. This follows on from this on the Gender Gap mailing list, and if articles are written it will go someway to increasing coverage on English Misplaced Pages of women and also of areas covered by WP:BIAS

Australian diplomats

Ambassadors

DFAT has a list of Australian heads of mission. Properly formatted, this article could be a featured list, complete with photos of our diplomats.

Permanent Representatives

Consuls/Consul-Generals

Ambassadors to special interests

Discussion

Those are great images, as always. But I noticed that a lot of the BLP articles in the gallery above already have free images that are just as fine as the ones you present here, so I'm a bit confused. Take Anote Tong, for instance, which has a perfectly fine image in the article already. Your image is perfectly fine, too, don't get me wrong, but I don't quite see why there is a need to replace one perfectly fine image with another perfectly fine image. There's many more examples, like Frances Adamson, Alexander Downer and Moussa Faki, so I'm not quite sure what we're supposed to be doing here. --Conti|✉ 13:55, 16 September 2013 (UTC)

Nomination of Suphot Dhirakaosal for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Suphot Dhirakaosal is suitable for inclusion in Misplaced Pages according to Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Suphot Dhirakaosal (2nd nomination) until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article.  Sandstein  07:51, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

User:Sandstein are you SERIOUS? It is unfathomable that one would even consider AfD'ing an article of an Ambassador to any of the 5 UNSC members....these are major diplomatic posts. Furthermore, it is unfathomable that one would even consider AfD'ing an article (albeit a stub) of an Ambassador of Thailand to Myanmar . And can I ask, did anyone bother searching for material in a language which uses non-latin letters? I know LibStar didn't, because he has never ever successfully AfD'ed an article in my area of expertise, because he neglects to do this every time. There is a WEALTH of information on this person in that language press, and another database (which you have to pay for) also has a huge amount of materials available. But hey, whatever gets you guys going in the morning. Russavia (talk) 08:35, 19 September 2013 (UTC)
I don't have an opinion about whether the article should be deleted; my nomination was procedural following a DRV.  Sandstein  09:09, 19 September 2013 (UTC)
@Russavia: Can you please post your non-English sources on your talk page? I can copy and paste them into the AfD discussion for you. A Quest For Knowledge (talk) 08:39, 19 September 2013 (UTC)
