Image deletions

Hey, Melesse. I thought I should let you know that all the hard work you do cleaning up CAT:ORFU isn't necessary - there at least three helpful adminbots that run 24/7, doing that thankless task. Otherwise, keep up the great work! east.718 at 08:41, March 10, 2008

Image copyright problem with Image:(001) Always is ~ Of Mary's Blood.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:(001) Always is ~ Of Mary's Blood.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. The following images also have this problem:

Orphan Image

All the images i have used so far is being diplayed in a separate page (User:Shivaji Mitra/LesTout.com) as requested by Admin עוד מישהו Od Mishehu. Should I add the {{not orphan}} ?

Please Read

Please, before you tag an image for speedy deletion because it's orphaned, can you read the file links section. SimpsonsFan08 (talk)

In one article

I think all those images you've tagged are all in 1 article . that's my user page User:MightySaiyan

Do not understand

Hi!

Refer to: (cur) (last) 00:06, 12 February 2008 Melesse (Talk | contribs) (29,857 bytes) (rmv image notices) (undo)

I simply do not understand why you deleted an image on article about IDEA. After deletion the text below the image became meaningless. Did you read the article after "removing vandalism". Likely many others than just me would appreciate good explanation in stead of "rmw". It requires much efforts for us to get images on the Wikipedia, but it takes only a second or two to delete it.

Smile!

This template must be substituted, see Template:Smile for instructions

Image:Leptictidium tobieni.jpg

Just a question: have you even bothered to read the fair-use rationale for the image, or are you one of those people who just like to say that almost any fair-use image is replaceable? Besides, you didn't even take the time to notify the uploader (me).

Okay, so I now have another similar question for you; have you even bothered to read the templates you use? Notify the uploader with:. Imperative mood! It does not say "you may notify the uploader", it says "notify the uploader."

Now, let's move on to your claim. Why don't we propose Image:Arwen.jpg for deletion? Surely someone could write to New Line Cinema and ask them to release their rights for this particular picture? Is it impossible that they will feel generous and accept? No, I don't think so. And a free replacement need not be impossible to obtain, it's just got to be reasonably impossible. a subject for which a free image might reasonably be found. It says so explicitly in the template you use. But then again, I guess you don't like reading. Leptictidium (mt) 10:35, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It seems you've changed your mind, at first it was a normal deletion procedure, now it's a speedy deletion! I wonder what made you change your mind... Leptictidium (mt) 10:50, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Musical theatre images

Hello, Melesse. I saw some excellent work that you did on a Fair use rationale Here. About a year ago, editors removed nearly all of the images illustrating the article musical theatre (although not the public domain ones for the part of the article covering periods prior to 1923). The removed images were mostly CD covers or original posters for well-known musicals that were discussed in the article. Do you think that you could write a fair use rationale for that would allow some images to illustrate the parts of the article pertaining to the period 1923-present? If so, let me know, and I will suggest some Images that I think would be good choices for the article. This diff shows many of the images that were removed. Best regards, -- Ssilvers (talk) 17:34, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the message. Many images for musicals articles are about to be deleted as linked here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:SFTVLGUY2 Some of them are photos that probably do not qualify under Wikipedia guidelines, but many of them are logos, CD covers, posters, etc that just need Fair Use rationales. I have been adding fair use rationales to the best of my ability, but I cannot keep up with the rate at which they are being put up for deletion. Best regards, -- Ssilvers (talk) 03:22, 6 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there Melesse, thanks for adding fair use rationales to the images. I'm a bit concerned by the rate at which you're adding them though - some of the rationales really don't seem to apply to the articles, so you should really consider carefully whether the FURME standard rationales are applicable or not. Take Image:PatrickTopaloff.jpg for example: The fair use rationale you added justifies inclusion of the image in Patrick Topaloff by saying that it is required as an accompaniment to a section of text about the book. In reality, it is being used in the article to show what Topaloff himself looks like - the caption even suggests this! Commentary about the book cover is limited to only one line, and the fair use rationale is really not strong enough to support its inclusion.

I agree that a good number of the nominated images are being used fairly, but I think you're being a bit too liberal with the default FURME rationales at the moment. I'd prefer not to have to do a load of IfDs on these! Papa November (talk) 06:36, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OK, thanks a lot. I'll check through them all properly when the nominations expire anyway. Cheers, Papa November (talk) 06:46, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Thanks for what you did on the Image:The Children's War.gif. I'm still a noob when it comes to Wikipedia. Zombie Hunter Smurf (talk) 15:04, 8 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hey

I remember in your RFA that you were an image-related admin. I also posted this at WP:AN, but there's a backlog at Category:All images on Wikimedia Commons ready for deletion, for images that can be deleted. Thanks, Spencer^T♦^C 22:21, 8 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, thanks, and no problem. Spencer^T♦^C 20:53, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong "Speedy Deletion"

You performed a "speedy deletion" on Church of the Assumption-Rivne.jpg without even reading my reasons for keeping the image. The image you deleted was NOT a "bit-for-bit" copy of the image in Wikicommons. If you had read my comments on every relevant talk page you would have known that the images were NOT identical (I took BOTH photos) and that the image on Wikicommons was an inferior image to the one you deleted. I demand that you undo the speedy deletion and do what I asked you to do--replace the Wikicommons image with the superior image which you deleted. I don't know how to "replace" images in Wikicommons. (Taivo (talk) 04:54, 9 June 2008 (UTC))[reply]

(I don't know if you are watching my talk page or not)

Since you asked oh-so-nicely:

Template:Calm talk with tea

If none of those is the "superior image" you were referring to, then I'm sorry but you'll have to learn how to upload things on Commons yourself. Melesse (talk) 05:20, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

My "oh-so-nicely" is AFTER I had carefully posted a comment according to instructions everywhere that the Wikipedia speedy deletion notice called for and my image WAS STILL DELETED. Image 2 is the correct one to keep. The other two can be deleted. Thank you. (Taivo (talk) 09:31, 9 June 2008 (UTC))[reply]

Re: Image for deletion

Thanks for informing me of the tag on the image I uploaded. I've replaced the usage rationale with a more appropriate one, as suggested. Aridd (talk) 11:54, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image:StreamersPoster.jpg and Image:SizweBanzi.jpg and Image:PavloHummel.JPG and Image:ManLuckPoster.jpg

FYI, you used the rationale for a record album instead of a poster for all of these images. If you keep using the wrong rationale they might be deleted. 209.247.22.164 (talk) 12:53, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image tagging for Image:13thAlleyMovie.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:13thAlleyMovie.jpg. You don't seem to have said where the image came from or who created it. We require this information to verify that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia, and because most image licenses require giving credit to the image's creator.

To add this information, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the information to the image's description. If you need help, post your question on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

Nice to see someone else who cares about album cover size- this is just a note to say that the template is {{fair use reduced}}, not {{fair-use reduced}}. Keep up the good work! J Milburn (talk) 10:05, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Sonic Boom Six Logo.png)

⚠

Thanks for uploading Image:Sonic Boom Six Logo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (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 Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice?

You recently created a fair use rationale for an image that does not exist. Please be careful with automated tools. J Milburn (talk) 15:49, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Replacing and deleting images

Hi

It appears you have moved images such as this to Commons:

This appears to have been done on a series of Irish "roads" articles, such as the N2 road. Unfortunately the resulting images (which appear in tables) are all the wrong size and are all different sizes. I wonder if you could restore the previous state of these articles; reverting doesn't work because you have deleted the originals. Thanks Sarah777 (talk) 00:07, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Russians

You cant just do what you think is right without knowing the case. It was long ago decided that the current image is the best. Also, everybody wanted it to be a ONE PIECE image. What you did is hurting a concensus and doing a useless thing. In your version, for example, sizes of the images were not the same. It's not possible to do it the same unless it's a one piece image.
