File:Glider Cockpit.JPG

In the discussion on 4 Feb 2010 you said "Keep for now, OTRS permission sent". Why therefore was the image deleted today from Glider (sailplane)? JMcC (talk) 17:34, 12 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

WP:CSD#F11. The file was tagged with {{subst:npd}} while awaiting OTRS permission, but apparently none was ever received. -FASTILY ^(TALK) 01:34, 17 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have followed up with the owner of the image. I can see from the copy of the e-mail to me that he has belatedly sent his permission to OTRS. Please let me know if it will be possible to reverse the deletion. JMcC (talk) 09:01, 18 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If OTRS permission is sent and received, drop me a line and I'll happily reverse the deletion. -FASTILY ^(TALK) 19:16, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/gobbleswoggler 2

I've done an arv on this user. I hope I've done the right thing - he/she is not a vandal but I don't know where else to report it (three RfAs in as many days now). I'm not an admin so there's little else I can do. I'm sure Gobbleswoggler is doing everything in good faith, but I'm equally sure we may be dealing with a child who is a football (soccer) fanatic.--Kudpung (talk) 09:15, 17 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Noted. Thanks very much for letting me know. Regards, FASTILY ^(TALK) 00:55, 18 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion Review

Courtesy notice that I've listed the deletion of File:Melody maker-cover-april-8th-1995.jpg at deletion review. Hiding T 21:02, 17 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Why did you delete my page?

You deleted my page "Charlotte Area Power Exchange" before I was even done creating it.

I didn't even get a chance to include the story behind the death of a National Icon in our community and tie this document in with the NCSF.

Please advise how I can get it back to finish.

Thanks! Mtilley3d (talk) 00:15, 18 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Bloody hell that was quick. I was actually testing to see if it would show up in the csd categories, didn't get chance to see, is that how you saw it?--Jac16888 ^Talk 08:13, 18 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, sorry about that. I knew something wasn't right there. Yeah, it does show up in the csd categories. -FASTILY ^(TALK) 08:15, 18 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Heh, no worries I found out what I wanted to so thanks. Think we got some crossed wires for a moment there. --Jac16888 ^Talk 08:16, 18 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

BTW, what is the recommended size for a non-free image 0.3 or 1.3 MegaPixels ? --IngerAlHaosului (talk) 12:56, 18 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Done. The advised resolution for a non-free image is ~100x100 to 500x500 pixels max. -FASTILY ^(TALK)

tx, by this time tomorrow all of them will have a rational,NoCommons, and a 0.25 Mpixel(reduced) version.--IngerAlHaosului (talk) 04:56, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

File:GuneySelale2.jpg

Hi Fastily! Thank you for your message. The above image had left me with the impression of that it had been either watercolored or in any case highly modified, which was why I did not upload the equivalent in Commons, where in any case there is a nearly identical image of the same waterfallls. I should have stated that as a reason here perhaps. But it is not that important, I can upload it in Commons under the same creator/copyright holder permission. Regards. Cretanforever (talk) 21:47, 18 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Because I'm a fail...

Can you please show me how to "decline" without using a script? lol :) Thanks, Dusti^SPEAK!! 22:15, 18 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Haha certainly. You can find all AFC templates at Wikipedia:Articles for creation/Templates. Or, you can use my WP:AFC/R cheatsheet and do copy and pastes. Cheers, FASTILY ^(TALK) 22:19, 18 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You're awesome, Imma find a barnstar for ya :) Dusti^SPEAK!! 22:20, 18 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

File copyright problem

The image at File:Annulus-applied-to-metamaterial-cloak.gif, which I recently uploaded is acceptable under NON-free fair use, and I have such a template added to the image. I gave a detailed explanation following Wikipedia guidelines for Non-free fair use. As far as I can tell there is no information missing on its copyright status if you read the content that is part of this image. This also falls under that which is allowed by the "Fair Use" (sections 107 and 108) of the US Copyright law. At the moment it appears that you made a good faith error. Thanks for your inputSteve Quinn (formerly Ti-30X) (talk) 05:54, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There's no need to get angry. All the deletion tag says is that you didn't include a license tag. Non-free file or not, this can easily be amended by going to WP:ICT/All, and pasting the appropriate tag into the file's description page. -FASTILY_sock^(TALK) 05:58, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

OK done. I see what you were getting at. I need to apply this to my three or four other images as well, See Category: Metamaterials. Also, I didn't think I came across as angry. I wasn't intending to come across that way. Steve Quinn (formerly Ti-30X) (talk) 06:16, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Images

As you can clearly see, I have written that the author allows the images to be used as long as both he and the publisher are credited. I don't know, however, which tag fits that. RM (Be my friend)

Ah, I see that now. Go to WP:ICTIC (or if nothing there fits your tastes, WP:ICT/All for a full list) and select the proper license tag. Once you have selected a tag, copy and paste it onto the relevant files' description pages. Once you have done that, please feel free to remove the deletion tags. Feel free to let me know if you have any other questions or are in need of assistance. -FASTILY_sock^(TALK) 06:10, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The problem is, Both are extremely long list, and I know nothing about things like "Creative commons attribution this and that". I definetely won't be able to finish today. RM (Be my friend)

Have the author and publisher choose a license. Go to WP:PERMISSION and follow the instructions outlined there. Regards, FASTILY ^(TALK) 06:31, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I read the author's conditions which he/she posted along with the photographs, so I already know that he allows use of the image as long as you credit Anuj Chopra, the brave photographer who snuck into the city as a tourist and snapped off photos with a concealed camera, and ISN Security Watch, who published the photo. Also, I have found the proper license for the photos. I read the creative commons licenses, and found which one suits this photograph best. RM (Be my friend)

User:Megh10

Fastily, I note that you indeffed Megh10 (talk · contribs) for vandalism. Was this the repeated recreation of Danielle campbell?

I'm not saying that there was anything wrong with the block, but per the thread at WP:AN#Danielle campbell it seems that the subject of the article may meet WP:ACTOR. I originally thought that user:Woogee had posted the request, and gave him some advice on his talk page - This is a little bit out of my area of knowledge, but if Danielle Campbell is the star of a new Disney movie the she probably meets WP:ACTOR. You have two chances here - either write an article in a user sandbox, or start it at the article incubator. Either way, once the article is in a fit state for transfer to mainspace, there is WP:DRV to get the salting of the title undone. A well-prepared article that meets WP:ACTOR, WP:V, WP:CITE etc will have a good chance of making it to mainspace. If you need help in creating a personal sandbox give me a yell.

Would you be prepared to unblock Megh10 if they agree to work on an article in either a personal sandbox or at the Article Incubator, and then go through DRV when the article is ready for release? Mjroots (talk) 07:25, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I did indef Megh10 for the recreation of Danielle campbell and Danielle Campbell (Actress). If the user is willing to edit constructively, by all means an unblock of that user is fine with me. Best, FASTILY ^(TALK) 07:40, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I'll give the option to Megh10 and see what the response is.

Article Deletion

G'day, i am astonished as to why on earth you deleted an article about the Country Club Casino in Tasmania, after it was only 24 hours old, sure it needed work being done, but i spend several hours of my time writing that and finding the co-ordinates to remove a redlink from several articles including Wrest Point Casino and Launceston, so i can contribute my small piece to this encyclopaedia(not sure it's so worthwhile now), i feel more time should have been appropriate and perhaps even a mention of "article for deletion"? or whatever it is, not straight away and rudely deleted, not very professional i think. thank-you and g'day Stony ^¿/̵͇̿̿/'̿̿ ̿ ̿ 09:18, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'll agree that Country Club Casino might not have been a blatant advert, but it was getting there. If I were to restore the page, would you be willing to help clean it up? -FASTILY ^(TALK)

Fair use images

Hi. Thanks for bringing the images to my attention. I am aware of the policies you have listed. I will look into these soon and see what can be done. With regards to History of BBC television idents, I have been trying to cut back on the amount of fair use images in use there for some time. Wikiwoohoo (talk) 13:28, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Age of majority

I see you asked the latest admin candidate about age of majority. I only recently discovered (via a rather notorious site) that quite a few of the admins I know are quite young and likely got the bit when under that age. All of them are among the finest examples of admins I've ever encountered. My experience is admittedly limited, so I'm curious if there are any examples you know of where it an admin's minority status led to a perceived or actual problem? Thanks for your input.--otherl left 13:38, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Lol The Wikipedia Review? To be honest, I know of no specific incidents, but the recent arbcom ruling regarding childrens' privacy on the internet/Wikipedia is a reasonable backing for this question. I only asked the question because it seemed to me the admin candidate was a kid - obviously I was wrong, judging by the candidate's response. That being said, I don't have anything to add. -FASTILY ^(TALK) 19:14, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

History of BBC television idents

Please take a moment to read the detailed and reasoned discussion on the talk page, in particular the section Talk:History_of_BBC_television_idents#Images before powering in and removing images wholesale within 30 seconds of hitting the article.

This is an article specifically on the history of the BBC on-screen visual identity -- a topic well worthy of encyclopedic attention in an encyclopedia which is as important a source on popular culture as this one.

I am as aware of the NFC policies and the underlying rationales behind them as anyone. But let me draw your attention to the key phrase: non-free content is only used "if its presence would significantly increase readers' understanding of the topic". That is our underlying goal here: to increase reader's understanding, about the topic they have looked up.

These images squarely pass that test. This is an article about these very images. Showing what they look like directly adds to reader understanding, squarely on the topic. Just as eg in our survey article on modern art, we show what modern art looks like.

The use is selective - far from all possible images are shown; and in detail the use of particular images has been discussed on the talk page, including by Black Kite (talk · contribs), who is no slouch when it comes to a restrictive interpretation of WP:NFC.

I have therefore reversed the wholesale removal. If you wish to discuss the use or not of particular individual images, please be very welcome to do so on the talk page. Jheald (talk) 15:11, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If you hadn't reverted I would have done so myself. But fair enough. -FASTILY ^(TALK) 18:42, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You posted regarding Mike Allen. He is posting over and over again in the wrong spot on an investigation. He is responding in the accuser's area. He can not add comments on behalf of the accuser. He has been told and he keeps doing it. Pharaway (talk) 19:57, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Football positions

Where on earth did you get the idea that it is 'vandalism' to include several good examples of each footballing role? It is a good way for people to grasp each role better, as they can then relate each position to a player they know. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.156.14.43 (talk) 20:06, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Aosta valley

Hello! i'm just correcting the articles about Aosta valley. Please, before deleting, pay attention to the fact that : - The name of the inhabitants in italian are incorrected for all the toponyms excepted for Aosta, which has a double version (italian-french); - All the coats of arms have been deleted from wiki:it because of copyright violation. The ones I have inserted have been designed for the wiki:fr and they are free ; - I have deleted the part "shield_alt" in the infobox, and inserted "shield_size" in order to correct the dimension of the coat of arms, as in the infobox of Aosta/Aoste. - Every commune in Aosta valley has a double version "Comune di..."/"Commune de...", which must be inserted, as for "Città di Aosta"/"Ville d'Aoste", because they are both official (for the two german-speaking communes of Gressoney-Saint-Jean and Gressoney-La-Trinité, the third version "Gemeinde Gressoney..." is official too).

Please, refer to my discussion page on wiki:fr to discuss about this project. I'll be back on Saturday. Thank you :) Simon --79.24.219.241 (talk) 20:18, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
