DISTRIBUTING THE BLAME IS THE WRONG GAME! Men behaving badly episode copyright

I am replying to the message you have sent me regarding the "men behaving badly" episode copyright. I would like to correct you, i originally inserted an episode synopsis for each episode, and these were replaced by unauthorized summaries which I AM NOT responsible for. Hence, the current synopses are not my contributions and I would gladly appreciate it if you get your facts right in future before pointing the finger. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Chris C.

File:Technocrat speaking.jpg deleted

Hi, I just saw that this image has been deleted, I was the person who uploaded it and I would like so kind of explanation. I noticed that you removed it from the Technocracy movement page, but I don't know if you were involved in deleting it. If you didn't delete it, then can you direct me to who did, or at least provide some explanation? Thanks. --Hibernian 15:31, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

I don't know if I'm supposed to respond here or on my page, but anyway. I'm afraid it was not correct to delete the image, you see I've got permission from the Website owner to place any of the photos in his gallery () to Misplaced Pages under that licence. There really is no copyright issue anyway, as the people in the pictures are almost all long dead and the organization doesn't even care about copyrights anyway (i.e. they're basically an anti-copyright group). They certainly won't be suing Misplaced Pages even if there was a problem, which there isn't, because as I said, permission was given. I guess I'll have to re-upload it. --Hibernian 17:10, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Re: nogallery

Hi, I saw you added the nogallery again because of non-free content reasons. This is one of the very few exemptions to that policy. See Misplaced Pages:Non-free content criteria exemptions. Already decided a while ago when nogallery was implemented. See somewhere in the archives of Misplaced Pages:Non-free content criteria and the last paragraph of Misplaced Pages:Non-free content criteria. It makes deleting (or possibly saving) images so much easier when you can already see the thumbnails. Garion96 (talk) 13:28, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

I can't recall ever seeing anything about this at Misplaced Pages talk:Non-free content, and I can't see anything about it there now. I also can't find a discussion at Misplaced Pages talk:Non-free content criteria exemptions, it seemed that some people just decided to go ahead and make all the administrative image categories exemptions. Why exactly is it necessary to show the thumbnails? --bainer (talk) 13:55, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

To already give an indication of what to do with the image. It's so much more practical. IMO of course. It has been like this for a while, until suddenly recently the nogallery was added. I just found the discussion here. I think I am quite strict with our non-free content criteria, but this exemption, unlike the mainpage, does make sense. Garion96 (talk) 14:14, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

I don't see how it's "more practical" though. What are the benefits of having thumbnails? All the problems are on the image description pages. --bainer (talk) 17:26, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Kaz

Hi there! After you moves/edits to Kaz and Kazimieras G. Prapuolenis, the edit histories of the disambig page and the article about the person became shuffled. I'd appreciate if you could sort them out, as currently the edit history of the disambiguation page only shows your two most recent edits. Thanks!—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 16:05, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Actually, it is possible to collect all edits onto one page and then re-distribute them properly, separating the history of the dab page from the history of the article itself. Let me know if you can't do that; I'll tackle it later myself. Thanks for the prompt reply! Cheers,—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 16:18, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Actually, if one isn't aware of previous move/change history, it is rather complicated to figure out what exactly happened. That's the only reason why I even bothered to let you know—it may work for GFDL reasons, but it's still a pain in the backend to sort out. Since it can be fixed relatively easily, I don't see a reason why not do it :) Anyway, let me know if you need help sorting the histories. Best,—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 16:30, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

I wouldn't want to deprive you of this learning opportunity :) Cheers,—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 20:48, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Image:BSRB1.jpg

I sent them a very polite email but I never heard anything, and I must admit it slipped my mind. It was a funny thing as a professional website with no general copyright notice. Probably best off deleted as it is easily replaceable with a user taken photo. Cheerio. Madmedea 13:48, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Richard L. Walker

Howdy - a courtesy note from TB here as I've reversed a deletion you made. You zapped Richard L. Walker in February 2007 following it being marked as a copyvio. The article doesn't bear much if any relation to the page referred to in the copyvio notice , or any other that I can find on google, so I've been bold and undeleted it.

Adolfo Carrion

I would like to edit this page with a detailed original entry, but it is protected. I will cite sources and I will not copy his website. I am requesting that the protection be lifted, at least temporarily so that I can contribute. Adolfo_Carrión_Jr. Wbennin 21:21, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

My RfA

Well, I was looking for a prettier way to do this, but I'm not very artistic, so I'll just say thank you for your support in my RfA, which was closed as successful. I look forward to serving the community in a new way. Take care! -- But|seriously|folks  08:26, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Image:Blair school.JPG

Hi, why did you delete this image? It was taken by User:Whataboutbob and he has released it under a free license? Gustav von Humpelschmumpel 10:52, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi there, you'll be able to tell I'm brand new to Misplaced Pages. Thanks for removing the copyright violation notice on this page. I recommend we delete the information from this page and move over the temporary talk page as it does not read like an advertisement as noted. I'll also work on the layout and style as suggested. I didn't want to put too much work into this until I was sure it would be accepted. Thanks again. 209.193.195.138 12:38, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Don't vandalize Serbian pages

Please don't delete pics with no reasons,from Serbian pages. User:Bg007

Fair use rationale

I have added some rationale to DWmissingeps.JPG, as requested. Let me know what you think. Angmering 06:35, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Removed COPYVIO tag question

Hi, I notice that you've removed the tag on Image:PestFromGellertHill 4 50mm crop full.jpg without comment. So that I might have a better understanding of why this copyrighted image is an acceptable GNU license, could you kindly explain the rationale? Many thanks, JGHowes - 13:44, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Thank you Garion96

I care about the integrity of[REDACTED] and I did not intentionally try to cause this misunderstanding. Your help has been much appreciated and I hope you can fix it for me. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Wikiaddict8962 (talk • contribs). 07:58, 14 July 2007

AIB Deletion

You deleted the entry for the Australian Institute of Building (AIB). This entry was posted by AIB staff and had all of the appropriate credits.

This act isn't much more than WikiTerrorism. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 58.168.246.125 (talk • contribs). 13:50, 14 July 2007

The article was deleted because it was a copyright violation of . There was no mention on the talk page of the article or on the website that it was released under the GFDL license. If you want the article to be restored you can write a new (non copyvio) version or send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org permitting re-use under the GFDL after which the article can be undeleted. Also realize that if you use words like WikiTerrorism you shouldn't expect much cooperation. Garion96 (talk) 13:03, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Article With Copyvio Content

Here: Da youngsta's. The copyvio content has been edited out but the copyvio edits still need to be deleted. -WarthogDemon 23:25, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

I fixed how do i go about doing it right then i am kinda new to this this will be my first creation. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Geoglock (talk • contribs). 00:50, 15 July 2007

If there's a situation with an article such as this, that I don't know what to do with or can't do anything to fix, I just go to the Recent Log and talk to whomever was the last person to delete something. More of a chance that it can be fixed/handled quickly. :) -WarthogDemon 23:56, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
