Notification of AN/I Report
Hello. There is currently a discussion at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. It's under Repeated Personal Attacks. Also, please note that I didn't report you. I'm just notifying you because the user reporting you didn't. - Amaury (talk) 21:33, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
- To be honest, I just no longer care. My efforts in Misplaced Pages have met with removal and rebuke. Hypocrisy and overzealousness rule here, I'm sad to say. Expatkiwi (talk) 21:36, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
- Lets not have a repeat. You cannot use the non-free files in a list. Werieth (talk) 17:55, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
RE: NFCC
Expatkiwi,
I'm KoshVorlon, I'm not an admin, a 'crat, a sysop, I'm just a user, just like you are. Very much like you, I also had a huge problem with NFCC, I also used IAR to ignore NFCC, because I thought it was non-sensical. My thought was, use the best picture for wiki, not some washed up, blurred out photo that happens to be free. I've been blocked for that. I've come to realize that the image rules aren't as byzantine as I first thought. Misplaced Pages wants to remain a free resource, in order for that to happen, they need to use free images whenever possible. Yes, there will be times when it isn't possible for that to be done, so , as a concession of sort, Misplaced Pages has a list of 10 criterias, if the image meets all 10 of those criterias , then it can be used, even though it isn't free.
To be sure, it's stricter than U.S copyright law, but at the end of the day, it keeps Misplaced Pages from a.) being sued (which keeps Misplaced Pages from being shut down ) and b.) keeps Misplaced Pages free (information and all ! ).
I won't come back on your page unless you ask me to, but as one who's had - A LOT - of issues with this policy (I mean me ) I thought I'd send you a note to help you out, as it's a real bitch figuring out the NFCC policy alone! :) KoshVorlon. We are all Kosh ... 19:13, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
