Speedy deletion of File:1930s photo of the foreshore above Jeffrey Street 001 001004.jpg
hello Orangemike
Apologies if I missed earlier warnings, or if the file was incorrectly tagged however can I check please your speedy deletion of this photograph. The photograph was important to the article. The reference citation in the article on Jeffrey Street was as follows and my recollection is that a similar citation was present on the photo page:
"View to St. Aloysius' College above foreshores of Kirribilli" (photo). 1 copyprint; b&w; 204 x 254 mm, This photograph shows construction on foreshores of Kirribilli above Jeffrey Street. Above the foreshores is St. Aloysius; College incorprating Dr. Cox's home. Whilst barely visible above the trees is the tower of Star of the Sea Church. The homes Greencliffe and Craiglea are also visible on the right hand side above M. Steel boatshed. Jeffrey Street Wharf and Jeffrey Street: North Sydney Council, original publisher unknown. 1930s. Retrieved 27 June 2010. Image 001\001004
The file appears on the Local Government website and the source attributes the photo to "c 1930s". I thought (mistakenly) that all of the correct tags has been used both in the article and also on the photo page. I refer also to the Australian Copyright Council which states that in Australia Copyright has expired in photos taken prior to 1 January 1955. This photograph is therefore approximately 20 years out of copyright. Refer to the copyright regulation here.
<http://www.copyright.org.au/find-an-answer/browse-by-what-you-do/photographers/>
Can I seek your advice please as to how to reverse this or what additional "public domain" style tag you feel was missing which should have been present on this photo to cover any other countries copyright laws etc? This photo has been on this article for almost four (4) years and this is the first time that the PD status / copyright of these very old photos has been raised as an issue.
Is my deleted article stored in the Misplaced Pages database?
I was told my article about Claudia Caporal was deleted because it was biased and I was too "close" to her to be able to write her article. Is there a way to rescue the writing I did for it so that I may then edit it to an appropriate stage for publishing? Thank you. KatieLee92 (talk)

Second consideration appreciated on Talk:Gregor Collins
Hi, Orange Mike, or other user - this is a request for a second look ie a consideration in deleting the "Some or all of this article's listed sources may not be reliable" note that has been on the Gregor Collins article since September of 2013. Reliable sources and additional, validated wiki links (including the recently approved article Goodbye Promise) have been provided in the interim, proving it a worthy candidate for no flags. I have no reason to be untruthful that this article is indeed associated with me but that is in no way an indication it is a puff piece or autobiographical piece, nor should it not be considered just as neutral as any other entry. If for some reason it's still considered flag-worthy I'd appreciate an updated explanation and what needs to be secured to have it fully approved. Thanks for your time. Gregorcollins (talk)

Some words on "ESNA European Higher Education News"
I removed the issues from the top of the page. After spending a few weeks gradually editing this article, I believe the tone is much more neutral, many references and links have been added to integrate it, and it relies much less on primary sources. If there is anything left to be improved, please let me know. Thanks.Template:Subset:unsigned

Luv Ya page
Hello Orangemike I appreciate your advice, but just to clarify, Paloma Faith is not a minor performer. Despite not being regarded as a phenomenon like Amy Winehouse or Adele she is more popular than some may realise, and even so more financially successful than some realise. I believe if my article is up to the standard of Misplaced Pages, my article will be accepted. Thankyou.

United Furniture Workers of America
I am interested in contributing a small article on UFWA local 154 (Gardner, MA). This is will be my first time contributing to wikipedia. I see that some other entries of union internationals have subsections for locals (e.g. SEIU). Should I start by editing your article on UFWA or start a new article. Again this is my first time contributing to wikipedia. Thanks Jadudley (talk) 13:11, 18 February 2017 (UTC)
- Speaking as president of a smaller and even less notable local (AFSCME L. 91), I would strongly advise sticking to improving the article on the international first. It is tough to argue for the notability of most locals, but the internationals are more clearly notable. (I have been cautious about doing so, because my uncle Willie Carl was the last international president of the Furniture Workers before the merger.) --Orange Mike | Talk 14:25, 18 February 2017 (UTC)
- Thanks. I don't have lots of information about the international. My main source is the 1989 book Becoming a Mighty Voice. I am willing to add to the article about the international, but I am not really sure what to add. I don't have a ton of info about local 154 either, but feel more comfortable writing about it because I'm here in Gardner and looked into it more. Frankly my priority is to get some more information about local 154 accessible, but if contributing some more information to the general UFWA article first is a means to doing that I'm willing to. Could you give me some suggestions of what kinds of information I should include in an edit of the UFWA article? An outline for example? I could just pull information about its founding, expansion, etc from Becoming a Mighty Voice. Someday I plan to head to GSU in Atl to visit the southern labor archives and dig in a little more. I also recently interviewed the current Business Agent for IUE-CWA 81-154 the successor local to UFWA local 154 (he's also the manager for the old UFWA union hall in Gardner) but I know a primary source document like that can't be a source for wikipedia. Any suggestions about how I might move forward would be much appreciated. Thanks Jadudley (talk) 15:37, 18 February 2017 (UTC)
- Mighty Voice is a fair start, but there's all the content in the books which it references. There's a fair amount in libraries about the founding era, the role of the UFW in CIO/AFL rivalries, and the ugly period when the UFW purged their militant/commie (depends on who you believe) element. 154 may be important in and around Gardner, but I'm skeptical about whether it really meets our standards for notability of an organization. --Orange Mike | Talk 15:45, 18 February 2017 (UTC)
- Thanks for your help thinking about this. It seems like this would be a much bigger project than I can take on. I think I'll just keep poking around and see what I can learn about local 154 but not worry about trying to contribute to wikipedia. I didn't realize there were other books in addition to Becoming A Mighty Voice I'll have to keep looking. Thanks again. Jadudley (talk) 18:25, 18 February 2017 (UTC)

Pamela Geller
Sock/meat puppet? --NeilN 00:23, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
- I'm thinking these may be two different fans of Geller's, if she's complained in a recent blog, tweet, podcast or cuneiform-tablet-sent-to-subscribers about the information. --Orange Mike | Talk 00:28, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
- I had a quick looksee through her tweets and Facebook posts. Some of your fellow Americans are pretty cray-cray. --NeilN 00:38, 3 March 2017 (UTC)

Attacks
You have no idea what an attack looks like.
I just needed to let NeilN know that I'm not to be messed with.
And like I said to NeilN, just because you're an administrator, it doesn't make you better than me.
