Hey could you restore this image? I wasn't notified at all of the CSD tag, and would have added a rationale had I been notified. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 08:27, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi King of Hearts. Ah, my bad. I frequently tag a large volume of files with twinkle, but it does happen that sometimes users aren't notified; sorry for the inconvenience. As for restoring the file, well, to be frank, I'm not particularly inclined to do so. Apart from missing fair use rationale, the file is improperly licensed ({{Non-free web screenshot}} only applies to full screenshots of website, not images/media found on websites), and fails WP:NFCC#8). I would restore the file if I could, but it violates many image usage policies... Sorry, FASTILY 04:17, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks!

Just wanted to thank you quickly for rollback privs. :) -Tanner (talk) 03:48, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

I was wondering why do you think their edits are vandalism? Materialscientist (talk) 04:47, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

Vandalism after final warning: -FASTILY 04:48, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

Never mind. I've looked through their contribs again and though they looked good, they might indeed be vandalism. Happy editing. Materialscientist (talk) 04:58, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

File:Guides1-4.jpg

I see in my watchlist that File:Guides4.jpg, File:Guides3.jpg, File:Guides2.jpg, and File:Guides1.jpg were deleted but they are still there. Could you verify?--RadioFan (talk) 17:11, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

Request to Restore Deleted Image

Your bot deleted image file because it lacked necessary licensing info. That image was originally uploaded with all required licensing info. In fact, it's Public Domain image from U.S. Air Force—photo 070914-F-8155K-282.jpg. Don’t know what happened to Wiki-image page to remove licensing info, but it was probably some kind of vandalism. Can you please restore image. I'll be glad to add back licensing info, but it would be easier to do that from original image page vs uploading entire file again. This is second time I've made this request.--Orygun (talk) 19:29, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

Actually, I deleted the file because it had no source (i.e. Lack of licensing information). Can you provide a external link where the file may be found? I will restore the file if you can. -FASTILY 03:02, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

I believe you just blocked a sock (of a blocked SPA)

I see you blocked Special:Contributions/CaptainPickles

I've been watching Special:Contributions/CaptainPickles since it appeared on Roman Polanski behaving in the style of the SPA User:Tombaker321

FYI: The SPA User:Tombaker321 was recently given a 3-day block (after a spree of venue shouting), so the burst of activity on CaptainPickles would not be surprising.

While your indef blocking of CaptainPickles certainly handled that account, is it true that if it was a sock of Tombaker321 that would still be a serious matter (of block evasion)?

Excuse my ill-informed questions, I have not dealt with the sock issue before (although I did help block a dynamic ip a couple of times). To be more specific, how much proof do I need to request a checkuser in this matter. (Note: I also believe there is one other sock, but let's start with this case) Thanks.
-- Proofreader77 03:46, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

Well, I think you may be right - there is a degree of similarity between the users' edits. To open up a sockpuppet investigation case, you can have as little evidence as WP:DUCK or as much as a detailed diff by diff comparison between the edits of the suspected sock{s). If you believe that the accounts all belong to one person, then I strongly encourage you file a SPI case. Regards, FASTILY 03:56, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for the quick response. I assume if it is perceived that I haven't brought enough information, the result will simply be a decline (rather than, e.g., forcing me to wash my mouth out with soap? LoL) Proofreader77 04:00, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

Barb Morrison photo

Hello Fastily. Nice to meet you! As mentioned on my talk page, I'll read the specifics of free licensing the photo carefully, and will have the original creator/owner (and in this case, also the subject) of the picture send that email to wikipedia.org as you mention. Thank you Fastily! -- User:RyanFreisling @ 07:22, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

Image source

Fastily:

No doubt, it's important to keep to Misplaced Pages's stringent image use stipulations. The image in question, however, was taken from a well-known Argentine newsmagazine, and first published in its April 1965 issue (source provided in description). Per Argentine copyright law, images published at least 20 years ago can't be copyrighted, particularly when they deal with public figures.

Please contact me if you have any questions.

Kindly,

Message received. I was cleaning up the last one when you beat me to it. I could tell you the reason for the repeated/redundant templates, but I'm on Drama-out now, and it involves drama ;) Otis Criblecoblis (talk) 07:32, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

Community de-Adminship - finalization poll for the CDA proposal

After tolling up the votes in the revision proposals, it emerged that 5.4 had the most support, but elements of that support remained unclear, and various comments throughout the polls needed consideration.

A finalisation poll (intended, if possible, to be one last poll before finalising the CDA proposal) has been run to;

• gather opinion on the 'consensus margin' (what percentages, if any, have the most support) and

• ascertain whether there is support for a 'two-phase' poll at the eventual RfC (not far off now), where CDA will finally be put to the community. Matt Lewis (talk) 01:03, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

Copyright on uploaded pictures

Hello Fastily,

I got a message from you (link) regarding the copyright status on the pictures I am uploading. Can you please let me know which pictures do you mean, so that I can do the corrective actions ? I am still quite new on Misplaced Pages and want to keep the rules and do a good job here, so your advice is very much appreciated !

Thanks, Tomiwoj (talk) 12:31, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

File:PapeeteDestroyed.jpg

You state that there is no source information listed for this photograph, but it is indeed listed as being from American Forestry Magazine. XavierGreen (talk) 21:26, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

Where can i find this mystical biblo format that you speak of?XavierGreen (talk) 22:10, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

-FASTILY 22:12, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

That link has nothing to do with[REDACTED] formatting. Ive cited it as one would a source within an article, though ive never seen or heard of anyone doing such a thing before.XavierGreen (talk) 22:14, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

Very. -FASTILY 22:16, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

William Woodward (preservationist,_artist)

Dear Fastily, You deleted an image I recently created on William Woodward. I have the rights to the picture. Why has it been deleted. Quazar121 (talk) 21:33, 18 January 2010 (UTC)quazar121

Deletion notices

All my images come from eBay, postcards advertised for auction. They all pre-date 1923, so there is no problem with copyright. Please be aware that I am not a newbie, and am conscientious about what I upload. Regards. --Hugh Manatee (talk) 21:45, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

Deleting my images .... WHY ?????

Hello,

Looks like you have decided to deleted all. I don´t understand anything. For exapmle difference between "copyright" on File:Blue pic1.jpg and File:Avatarmotioncapture.jpg. It's absolutely the same ! If you want to erase my work, than you have to remove also pages about Titanic, Avatar and many others !!! Can you explain what's going on here ?

User:Tomiwoj

Images copyright

Hello Fastily,

I have corrected copyright info on this image File:Decalogue_dwa.jpg. Can you please confirm if it is OK or not before I start doing the same on the other ones ?

Thanks Tomiwoj

File:Decalogue dwa.jpg appears to be taken from a copyrighted TV show, not a copyrighted film. Please use the appropriate license tag (see WP:ICT/All for a list). -FASTILY_sock 23:41, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

Are you really trying to claim that any Misplaced Pages content can be copied anywhere without attribution? Woogee (talk) 00:05, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

Uploaded Photo File:Cheetah & Cubs Lying on Rock.jpg

Hi Fastily, I'm not sure what I have to do here. I thought I had all the information I needed. I'm pretty frustrated, I read and tried to understand what info was needed this past weekend, it seems like for hours. File:Cheetah & Cubs Lying on Rock.jpg, fair use rationale. Can you please help me out? Thank you.Thisandthem (talk) 00:09, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

Certainly. I'm sorry you found the image uploading process frustrating. Before I can do anything to help however, could you please specify what kind of image this is, where it is from (source), and the purpose it will serve on Misplaced Pages? -FASTILY_sock 00:25, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

You're making a fair use claim for an image of a Nick Brandt photograph? It seems completely unlikely that[REDACTED] can claim fair use of a living artist's photographic work in an article about the photographer. I suggest it be speedied for copyvio immediately. Just my opinion. --IP69.226.103.13 | Talk about me. 00:36, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

Well its from Nick Brandt, which he sent an email to permissions that he is the copyright owner, and I thought I read that if the photo helps to show what was written about the book, I could use the fair use, non-free context. That is what Nick wanted to use for his photo, in order for me to use it in his article. So does that help? Thisandthem (talk) 01:03, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

If he sent an email to permissions stating it could be used, then it's not fair use, non-free content. Fair use, non-free use is for usually small images of things like a corporate logo that are used without permission. What is needed is to tell exactly what permission Brandt gave in his email for the use of this image on wikipedia. In addition it has to be clear: his permission, and who took the image of the poster (I don't remember if it said). Fastily should be able to clear this up, and if he can't, he can send you somewhere that it can be cleared up. The problem is, the non-free use permission attached to the photo isn't the same as Brandt giving permission for it to be used.

Take a breather, someone will figure out the correct way to use it properly with Brandt's permission, although it may take a little time to get it correct. --IP69.226.103.13 | Talk about me. 01:13, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

COI problems

Fastily, in reading through the information and guidelines you sent to me I still have questions.

In part I found the following:

If you do write an article on an area in which you are personally involved, be sure to write in a neutral tone and cite reliable, third-party published sources, and beware of unintentional bias. Neutral point of view is one of Misplaced Pages's five pillars.

My claim that this article should be legitimately allowed are:

1. 1. I wrote the article in a neutral point of view.
2. 2. I used only facts that were independently verifiable.
3. 3. There was no original research.
4. 4. All information was gathered from editorial sources.
5. 5. There were no links to outside non-editorial content.
6. 6. The notability criteria for Misplaced Pages inclusion had been met.
7. 7. The article does not refer to, promote or otherwise advertise the author.

The guidelines for which you sent me links noted that writing about something one is connected to is "Discouraged" not "Forbidden", and it went further to say that if the above guidelines were adhered to an article could be written and included in the Misplaced Pages.

I am affiliated to a degree with the subject of the article (L. Cedeño), but not to a degree to which I want to promote his work. I think the notability of the artist in question ads to the quality of the music entries on Misplaced Pages and I believe the article will expand due to the fact that the artist is involved with other notable projects.

I did take the photo. I also altered it for the record label which L. Cedeño owns and the image I created was used for the album cover. I receive no remuneration for the article nor do I use it for gratuitous promotion. Originally the artist did not ask me to write this article. During the course of the discussion about the article I have been in contact with him and today while going over the issues at hand he entered information through my account that we both thought would alleviate the questions. It would appear that the information (permission to use a photo) created more confusion as it now seems the community believes I am the author and the subject. This is not the case.

Is there a way through this that you can prescribe so that this artist and the album can be included in the Misplaced Pages?

Thanks.
