Ryan Pope

Hi Alasdair, regarding your recent deletion of the above article, I think you might have been a bit hasty. While I don't know what that nonsense about 1886 was about, Pope was definitely a member of a notable rock band, as well as being a former member of another. Granted the article was in pretty bad shape, but I think this is at least enough an assertion of notability to warrant an AfD. :) Cheers, faithless () 10:05, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

  • Having reread the article, whoever typed that probably wanted to type 1986. It's been restored, read it yourself if you don't believe what I was talking about.--Alasdair 16:05, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
Oh no, I knew what you were saying was true, I just don't know what it's all about. My guess is somebody included something about another Ryan Pope, who evidently played for Chelsea F.C.. Anyway, I'll try to clean up the article a little. Cheers, faithless () 01:58, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Josh Golder

Hey, Alasdair. Regarding the biography of Josh Golder, the use of the document was not intentionally used as advertisement. Please highlight what needs to be changed in order for this article to be accepted. I want to clarify again, there was no intent for advertisement... I am willing to make the correct changes to insure the integrity of[REDACTED] and the integrity of Josh Golder.

Additionally, I'm working on rewriting the article in wiki so that the G2 clause is not violated.

Yours, aarondreams

Gaultier GAA

I'm actually creating a seperate article and will delete the stuff from the old one once finished. ManfromDelmonte (talk) 22:29, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Bone Chilling Entertainment

Hi. The page Bone Chilling Entertainment which you just deleted under WP:CSD has just popped up again. It seems as if this page has been created by the same author at least 3 times now. It also would seem that the page's creator has a WP:COI here. Thanks. -- Taroaldo (talk) 23:55, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Images on ITN

Hi. I see the problem with the image is fixed now. The reason why the picture needs to be uploaded and protected is that, because the image is priginally on Commons, it can easily become a target to vandalism (imagine someone replacing the file on commons with some imappropriate thing). Just in case you didn't already know that :-) Cheers. --Tone 21:39, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Mathieu Flamini

His move to AC Milan has not yet been confirmed, and in any case, he is still under contract with Arsenal, the current season is still not over and he is thus eligible for Arsenal's match against Sunderland this coming weekend. Please do not alter the Arsenal article or template until the season has concluded, thank you. Qwghlm (talk) 10:53, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Flamini may well move to AC Milan this summer, but he is contracted with Arsenal until June 30 and in any case, the transfer window does not officially open until June 1. So until then, Flamini is an Arsenal player and with one game remaining to the season, he can only play for them. Qwghlm (talk) 11:19, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Ask for unprotected article

Hello Alasdair,

I'd like to ask for your help regarding to "unprotected article" issue. Currently I try to edit "MIPRO" article which has been protected and authority for administers edit only. MIPRO is a Taiwan-based leading brand in pro audio industry. I believe that some innovative hi-tech information is worthy to add in[REDACTED] database. However, I am not a Wiki administer and has no authority for editing.

Sincerely hope and invite you to work for this project. Absolutely I can provide information for your reference. Please visit at www.mipro.com.tw for detailed information.

Thanks for your prompt attention, and I am looking forward to hearing from you soon. --Wilson0324 (talk) 05:39, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Consensus moves

I'm sorry to question you on this, but the discussion seems deadlocked without a consensus. There are two opposes, and two supports. So why was it moved? SchmuckyTheCat (talk)

Help me to retrieve contents of deleted page

Hi, I see that you deleted this page could you please look in to it and copy its contents to my talk page ? (I mistakenly had put link to English Misplaced Pages in my talk page header in another Misplaced Pages - it must be a message for me) Thanks ~~Xil * 22:43, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

Allegations of apartheid deletion notification

Some time ago, you participated in a deletion discussion concerning Allegations of Chinese apartheid. I thought you might like to know that the parent article, Allegations of apartheid, was recently nominated for deletion. Given that many of the issues that have been raised are essentially the same as those on the article on which you commented earlier, you may have a view on whether Allegations of apartheid should be kept or deleted. If you wish to contribute to the discussion, please see Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Allegations of apartheid (fifth nomination). -- ChrisO (talk) 17:51, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Untouchables post office raid.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Untouchables post office raid.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. 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 Misplaced Pages (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 Misplaced Pages 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. BJBot (talk) 05:02, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

If you are interested in the deletion discussion, please participate by adding your comments at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Augeant. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Eastmain (talk) 05:03, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Tsotsi Images

I see that you once uploaded a number of images on the film Tsotsi: Tsotsi1.JPG, Tsotsi2.JPG, Tsotsi3.JPG, Tsotsi5.JPG, Tsotsi7.JPG and Tsotsi8.JPG. There are numerous problems concerning these images:

  • While Tsotsi1 has the correct licence tag, the others do not.
  • There are too many images on the page for them all to fall under fair use - there has to be a limited number (±2)
  • They are of a very high resolution - they have to be of web resolution.

I suggest that you give one other image the proper copyright tag, upload that image and Tsotsi1 with a lower resolution and using {{Non-free use rationale}} and finally give the rest up to deletion. Thanks, ChrisDHDR 08:57, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

PS: Please note there is a 48 hour deadline since this message was posted.

  • Hmm... I guess I'll just delete the pictures that are the least important. (Although I currently cannot lower the resolution of some of the shots since I don't have the DVD handy).--Alasdair 07:13, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
