Oo7565 (talk) 11:20, 5 April 2013 (UTC)Disambiguation link notification for May 4
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
- Ruger XGI (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver)
- added a link pointing to Semi-automatic
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 15:14, 4 May 2013 (UTC)
SELF EDIT: I have fixed the disambiguation links for these two articles.
FN FAL
I have reverted your change of image in the infobox on FN FAL since your image seems to be a copyright violation, and has been reported as such on Commons. Thomas.W (talk) 18:49, 4 June 2013 (UTC)
SELF EDIT: My image is not a copyright violation, and if it has been reported on the Misplaced Pages Commons, I have yet to see it, and it would only have been because of you reporting it yourself. I have removed your edit.
- I have checked one more of your images on Commons, of a Colt 1905 revolver, and that one was also a blatant copyright violation (a composite of images found here, downloaded using an application such as Image Downloader plugin for Google Chrome to evade the watermark). I intend to go through every one of your images on Commons, and your edits here on en-WP, because Misplaced Pages takes copyright violations very seriously. Thomas.W (talk) 19:21, 4 June 2013 (UTC)
- SELF EDIT: I used no such "application" to avoid any watermarks, and that is not the correct origin of that particular image. The majority of my images are composites of one or more images that have been cropped, color-changed, partitioned, rotated, and in other ways altered. They are not stolen in any way shape or form, nor was I attempting to steal credit, as I made all the images myself. I understand that Misplaced Pages takes copyright violations very seriously, yet I do not believe that is what these are. I look forward to your findings, which I presume you will submit to the moderators of Misplaced Pages/Wikimedia Commons in an unbiased fashion, for their determination. At this point, it seems you are simply a simple contributor, like myself, who just doesn't want their "thunder" stolen.
- The images I've looked at definitely come from Rockisland Auctions/Gun-photos.info. There's absolutely no doubt about that (they're 100% identical), so the only way you could be the creator, as you claim on Commons, is if you took the pictures for Rockisland, which you will have to prove. Thomas.W (talk) 19:37, 4 June 2013 (UTC)
- SELF EDIT: I look forward to your attempts to track down the origins of each of my uploaded images. You will be disappointed.
- There's a case like this about once a week, so I've done it a few times. And I'm good at it. BTW I just happened to find "your" L42A1 picture too on Gun-photos.info. What a coincidence. Thomas.W (talk) 19:47, 4 June 2013 (UTC)
- SELF-EDIT: Once again, not the origin. Since you seem experienced with this, hopefully it will be done quickly.
I've just taken a look at "your" picture of the Akdal MKA-1919 shotgun and found that to be a copyvio too, with the two parts of it available on a large number of different sites, making it very improbable that it really is your picture. So why don't you just go to Commons and ask the people on the administrator's noticeboard to delete your copyvios? Because coming clean might save you from being blocked for it.
