== careless image actions ==

Hi Bulwersator,

A couple of your recent actions w/r/t images were silly/wrong. (1) Moving ] to commons. This was an image created explicitly for wikipedia talk pages, and has no external utility. It does not belong on commons, it belongs on wikipedia as support material for discussion archives. There’s really no reason to touch it. Unfortunately, soon after you added the image to commons, another overzealous editor deleted the image from wikipedia, in the process killing any page history, etc. (2) Nominating ] for deletion with an entirely incorrect rationale (namely that it wasn’t discussed on the article where it is used). In both of these cases, the actions seem to have been undertaken mechanically, like a bot, without any attempt to look at the context or use of these images, or think. I don’t know if it’s a general pattern, but I recommend editors who plan to make many changes should try to pay some attention, instead of indiscriminately applying crude heuristics. Cheers. ] ] 05:04, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

Can you expand on why you tagged ] for deletion? Your tag and the edit summary stated "no source" however there was a source listed.

You are the one who should be blocked for not thinking before doing things, give me an clear explanation. I am going to complain about your action. I even improved the quality and made it better to fit the profile. Why are you behaving like this with me. You are the one who violated my copyright by erasing my own picture that I personally took. You are an extremist that didn't think before acting. <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) 20:48, 1 September 2012 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

Hello. I saw what you or a robot representing you put on my talk page about "File:Colpoint.JPG". It is a ] image. It was uploaded by someone else and used in the ] article. I took it, and edited it, and modified it, with my own tools for annotational purposes. The original file is "Boston Landsat.jpg" which was uploaded by someone else. I put a note on the page. --- (Bob) ] (]) 05:34, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

== Images from the USGovernment ==

I have noticed at least 3 images today that you tagged for CSD that are works of the US Government and not subject to copyright. Please stop.

One example is ] another is ] both are clearly a work of the US government. ] (]) 15:25, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

== Unused files ==

Hi. I checked to see if there were some users that had many files in ]. My plan was that perhaps it was better to nominate a lot of files in one DR instead of spamming the uploader with many DR's. has . Do you know if there is a tool to create such DR's? (Other users with more than 100 unused uploads: ], ], ], ], ], ], ], ] - I could make galleries for those if you think it is a good idea.) --] (]) 18:42, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
*Unfortunately I have no idea. With 100+ files you maybe you can ask for a bot. And I am unsure whatever mass nomination like this is a good idea - most of orphaned files should be rather moved to Commons than deleted ] (]) 18:58, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
**Okay :-) I agree that many orphan images should be moved to Commons and I moved ~50 NASA images a few days ago and ~500 maps yesterday (or was it 2 days ago?) from the orphan category. But if it is unused userpage images of family etc. then we should not move them. So my idea was if we can move hundreds of good files in one task or delete hundreds of bad files in one task then we would reduce the backlog fast. --] (]) 19:35, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
***I must say that most of the files by ] look like useful files, so I would say that they should be moved to Commons instead of being deleted. The idea of working on one user at a time sounds good since there will probably be similar categories for the images and a similar probability of finding copyright violations. However, I'm not sure if there is an advantage of choosing a specific user only because the user has lots of orphaned files. --] (]) 19:49, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

****The source is listed as ''California Department of Corrections photographic records''. Thus it is in the public domain, because mug shots taken by California law enforcement are released into the public domain.

*******"Verifiability in this context means that other people should be able to check that material in a Misplaced Pages article has been published by a reliable source" - currently this image is IMHO without proper source, only with specified author.

********Well then, since you are obviously erroneously tagging several articles as well as this one, and you are obviously not going to stop doing so, I have no other choice but to have this sorted out a ANI.--] ]</font> 14:10, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

== Please stop blanket nominations for deletion ==

::I asked you previously to be more careful about your deletion nominations. I suggest you simply stop this activity and focus on other things. If you continue to make bad nominations it is possible that an RFC will be started and you might ultimately be placed under a formal restriction.
