Double-tagging commonsised stuff

Hello Kelly. I don't think it serves any useful purpose to double tag images moved to commons with {{db}} as well as {{ncd}}. They'll be deleted eventually. The only reason I could see for bumping things to the top of the queue would be if there is a name clash. Hope this makes sense. Best regards, Angus McLellan (Talk) 09:53, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, Angus. I've talked with a few other admins about this, and it does no harm to nominate the occasional MetsBot false negative for deletion manually. Kelly ^hi! 11:53, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Image:Robert_Livingston_(1708-1790).jpg

I have a message from you indicating that this image may be deleted due to lack of a source. I have searched in vain for a source; back when I uploaded this, I was unaware that sources were required. Consider, though, that the subject died in 1790 and was sufficiently famous that it is exceedingly unlikely that it was not, in fact, published before 1923. Consider also, in the unlikely event that this is a copyrighted image, the likelihood that the copyright holder could claim any real damages-- Britney Spears he ain't; what would happen is that we'd receive a take-down notice and we'd take it down: fini. Note too that it's been up for three years without a problem.

Anyway, if you have to destroy it, so be it. I have been unable to find a replacement image, though. -- Mwanner | Talk 17:38, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Am I to understand OTRS never got the releases on these? Wikipedia:Possibly_unfree_images/2008_May_23#Image:Daizee.jpg Gwen Gale (talk) 20:29, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Apparently not - there are no ticket numbers on the images, and the uploader was made aware of this some time ago without the issue being resolved. The likely scenario (just guessing here) is that the permission e-mail was submitted but the licensing details were not acceptable for Wikipedia, this happens a lot.

Ok, they're gone :) Gwen Gale (talk) 20:49, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

I appreciate your enthusiasm in keeping copyrighted images off Wikipedia. However, regarding this particular image, you tagged it as a speedy only a few days ago. It was apparent that you did not read whatever was written in the license section, or you would have requested me for an OTRS verification rather than paste the boilerplate speedy message on my talk page. Again, you have put the image up for deletion with "OTRS permission claimed, but no ticket #". Well, its hardly been two days since I sent the email. I'd give at least a weeks time before putting up an image that claims OTRS unless you are particularly sure that OTRS has denied permission (which I doubt is the case).--thunderboltz^(TALK) 18:22, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

No worries - images listed at WP:IFD are not processed until at least a week after being listed. You should be fine. Kelly ^hi! 18:23, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Please assume good faith and be more careful with such cases in the future. Most people consider it very disturbing to be bothered with boilerplate deletion messages.--thunderboltz^(TALK) 18:38, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

No assumption of bad faith here - other people find it very disturbing to see one of the five pillars threatened by unverified copyright claims. Kelly ^hi! 18:40, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Like I said, I appreciate the work you do no less. My point is only reiterated by your above statement, as you gave me hardly a few days to prove my claim. Please let's avoid any further arguments. Have a good day. Thank you!--thunderboltz^(TALK) 18:51, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

I understand - thought it has been a little more than a few days, the image was uploaded in December of last year. If you have any other uploaded images with similar claims, please forward the permissions. I'll take a look at your other uploaded images to see if there are related problems. But I agree with the above - best wishes to you also. Kelly ^hi! 18:53, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

I'm doing that right now. Thank you!--thunderboltz^(TALK) 18:54, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Image:Iowa80.png

Howdy. You recently asserted that Image:Iowa80.png was identical to Image:Iowa 80 truck stop.jpg of the Wikimedia Commons, moving for deletion of the former. This is false; I made several (rather minor) adjustments to the image, as indicated in the image description. Therefore I have removed the deletion request template (the request was rejected anyways) and reverted the relevant links. No hard feelings, though; the images are quite similar, and I understand the confusion. You may wish to replace the Commons image with my version, as I've tweaked the contrast and color balance to improve its quality. --Xiaphias (talk) 01:21, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

No problem, thanks for the note. Kelly ^hi! 01:26, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Re: Redirect deletions

Hmm... I was doing housekeeping, deleting redirects with one revision and no incoming links. I'm a bit torn as to whether to restore those redirects or not. On the one hand, they're kind of silly – users can simply click the (breadcrumb) link back to the main template page and then click the template talk page link (like they do for almost every template). On the other hand, it wasn't really harmful to have redirects there... Thoughts? --MZMcBride (talk) 01:29, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

One more thing. I just took a look at the page views for the specific /doc page you mentioned. It hasn't had one page view in the last four months according to this. Using other example pages, I checked to ensure that it wasn't simply because it was a Template_talk page or a redirect. Turns out that according to those stats, not a single person has been redirected through that redirect in four months. Strange, eh? --MZMcBride (talk) 01:35, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Sean Hannity Revert

Let's see you don't know what something means, so you just revert it? Is that the wikipeida standard? I'm ignorant, so I'll just revert it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.49.224.70 (talk) 02:57, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Image:HarringtonNSW.jpg

You recently deleted my photograph of Harrington, NSW stating 'blatant copyright infringement', I'm not sure how you came to this conclusion as I took this photograph myself and authorise it for use under a creative commons licence. I'm no expert at Wikipedia and am not sure how to get the photograph back; would you be able to restore the image and the link to it on the Harrington, NSW Wikipedia page?

Re: Lack of response

I'm trying to remain as civil as possible, which I'm finding it incredibly difficult to be when interacting with you. I have a longstanding rule not to post to AN/I. Please do not post to my talk page again. Thanks. --MZMcBride (talk) 01:27, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
