			==Image problem==
			Hi, Melesse. I see that you have speedied the image ], with the comment ''(Speedy deleted per (CSD I7), was an image with an invalid fair use rationale and the uploader was notified more than 48 hours ago. using TW)''. ]—who is not the uploader—has asked me to restore it, because he thinks (from the amateurish quality) that it must be a self-taken photo, although it was apparently uploaded with an erroneous Fair Use rationale. Going to look, I intended to write to the uploader, ] and ask him/her to re-upload it, this time with a proper rationale, if he has indeed taken the photo himself. But I'm flummoxed by seeing that Habanerosrl's talkpage is a redlink. Nobody has ever sent any notification to it, as far as I can understand. So, well, how can he have been notified more than 48 hours ago..? And is there any point in me creating the talkpage and posting on it? I must have missed something here. Can you throw any light, and assist us in getting the image back, if possible? Giano's viewpoint is that the page needs it. ] \| ] 09:43, 19 July 2008 (UTC).

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

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 Misplaced Pages, but it takes only a second or two to delete it.

Smile!

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

A Picture of a Living Person

I want to include a picture of a living person on an organization's page (he's the president of the organization) but the first time I tried it got removed. Why was this, and how can I prevent this from happening a second time? Thanks! --InterfaithallianceDC (talk) 21:06, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Notification re: Rose Cover.jpg - can't locate

Regarding the automatically deleted image, which stated that the uploader (me) was notified at least 48 hours by you before deletion, I can't find any such notification. There were no warning tags posted to the image and nothing mentioned in the article where the image was used or on my talk page. Hope to clarify this so as to avoid future similar upload problems. Thanks. Wikiwatcher1 (talk) 18:42, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Requesting valid reasons for your tagging 16 images for deletion

Note: this message is written to your Talk page since I didn't feel like repeating this comment 16 times on mine. The "tool" you use posted 16 automatic identical messages.

Regarding an image you deleted without giving required warnings and notification, you wrote:

"I probably did that by accident, the tool I use has rather small text and I do make mistakes with it on occasion. Nonetheless, that image wasn't being used properly (along with the majority lot of the images on the Al Jolson article). Text can do a perfectly adequate job of describing what movies he's been in." Melesse (talk) 00:32, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Immediatey after writing your response you proceeded to delete 16 other images that were uploaded under a clearly valid fair use rationale. They were all tagged by you automatically with no comments, discussion, or talk, from you personally, leading me to think your javascripted tagging tool may have been misprogrammed or have a bug.

The images marked for removal included everything from personally photographed items to highly descriptive supporting images. They covered various sections of the article and, as far as I can tell, had sufficient fair use rationales.

The first image that I contacted you about was deleted without warning. You responded with "I probably did that by accident..." You made no apology for your "mistake," and did not offer to replace it, but simply brushed it aside by writing that "text can do a perfectly adequate job..." I appreciate you opinion, but my understanding is that Wiki's Fair Use Rationales and Policies do not allow administrators that kind of discretion. That would be equivalent to a reviewer giving a bad review to a movie by saying that, in your opinion, reading the book should "be perfectly adequate." Can you provide Wiki policies about the right of an administrator to delete images from an article where they personally feel that the "text is perfectly adequate" for the article?

I appreciate your consideration of this issue along with a speedy removal of all improperly tagged images that may have also been made by accident.Wikiwatcher1 (talk) 01:41, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Deletion review for Al Jolson

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Al Jolson. Since you closed the deletion discussion for this article, speedy-deleted it, or were otherwise interested in the article, you might want to participate in the deletion review.

Full response requested

I am requesting a review of this issue. Your most recent response is copied below to keep everything unified.

"No bug, I looked at every image on the Al Jolson article and tagged them when I saw an issue. And as for the text thing, I was paraphrasing from point 1 of the non-free content policy."

You gave no reasons despite a number of attempts. I may be wrong, but when many hours are invested by an editor to improve an article, an explanation is warranted by whomever decides to erase those hours. In the case of an image, there is time invested in finding or creating, modifying, uploading, describing to Wiki, and placing those images properly in an article. Multiply those hours by by 16 and your unexplained tagging them for deletion seems to go against the guidelines of the Wiki Project. Summarizing your reasons for this mass deletion, you write only that you "saw an issue." That seems a bit brief.

All 16 images that you have marked for speedy deletion meet all requirements for fair use.

1.No free equivalent exists that would effectively identify the article's subject.
2.The image does not in any way limit the ability of the copyright owners to market or sell their product.
3.The image is only used once and is rendered in low resolution to avoid piracy.
4.The image has been published outside Misplaced Pages; see source above.
5.The image meets general Misplaced Pages content requirements and is encyclopedic.
6.The image meets Misplaced Pages's media-specific policy.
7.The image is used in the article wiki-linked in the section title.
8.The image is significant in identifying the subject of the article, which is the film or film character itself.
9.The image is used in the article namespace.
10.The image has a brief description that identifies the image, notes the source, and provides attribution to the copyright holder.

I have responded to your most recent comments on my talk.Wikiwatcher1 (talk) 19:18, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

talk page deletion

Hi Melesse: I think you should undelete User talk:Yomangani if the user did not request its deletion. The reason you deleted it appears to be that it redirected to a deleted image, but it would be more appropriate just to blank the page, removing the redirect, rather than deleting a user's talk page. Isolation booth (talk) 01:53, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Talk page

Why did you deleate my talk page. Buc (talk) 08:44, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

RE: Image:Portablesboardwalkmsad31.JPG Deletion

Hi, you have recently deleted the image Portablesboardwalkmsad31.JPG, School outside msad31.JPG, and Viewofhallwaymsad31.jpg.JPG with no discussion. I was wondering the reason for this deletion, as I don't see a way for this image to be made "free". Can you please inform me on the reasoning for this deletion? Thanks. Patricksimpson21 (talk) 16:56, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

You yourself put the deletion tag on the image when you uploaded it, that's why you didn't get any notification. You should have read the warning dialog that appeared in the "license" section. The buildings in the pictures seem to be still existing, so it's reasonable for someone to go and take a photo of them and release them under a free license. Melesse (talk) 22:20, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Ah, I see, I didn't fully understand the copyrights for the picture. Sorry, Patricksimpson21 (talk) 22:20, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

Jamie_Eldridge_PictureA.JPG

I feel my issue is similar to other uploaders. When was I notified that this file will be speedily deleted? And why did that image not work? I could not find a single photo of Jamie anywhere on the web that is under a free license. Darth Panda (talk) 00:27, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. I'll be careful not to do that in the future. Darth Panda (talk) 14:07, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Club tour.JPG)

Thanks for uploading Image:Club tour.JPG. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Misplaced Pages (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 Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

Image:T'Keyah Crystal Keymáh Leading Lady Headshot Small.jpg

Hi. Regarding Image:T'Keyah Crystal Keymáh Leading Lady Headshot Small.jpg, which you deleted (and Until(1 == 2) deleted previously - see User talk:Until(1 == 2)/Archive 11#Image:T.27Keyah_Crystal_Keym.C3.A1h_Leading_Lady_Headshot_Small.jpg and User talk:BlueAzure#Image:T.27Keyah_Crystal_Keym.C3.A1h_Leading_Lady_Headshot_Small.jpg for details), I thought I had justified the fair use of this image. This is a crop of the subject's one and only "Leading Lady Headshot". Please reconsider your deletion decision, or at least get me a copy of any changes since I created User:Jeff G./Fair use sandbox#Image:T.27Keyah_Crystal_Keym.C3.A1h_Leading_Lady_Headshot_Small.jpg in preparation for uploading that image. Thanks! — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 04:10, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Image CSDed without notice

At the help desk, I have been informed you speedied an image. My talk page has no notice.

Supposedly This is from the deletion log: "23:44, 13 July 2008 Melesse (Talk | contribs | block) deleted 'Image:Trump Chicago floor diagram.JPG' ‎ (Speedy deleted per (CSD I7), was an image with an invalid fair use rationale and the uploader was notified more than 48 hours ago. using TW)."

At Misplaced Pages:Help_desk#deleted_image, I noted that I would like to either recreate the image or have you restore it. Please advise.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 04:27, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for prompt reply. Are you saying there is no possible way I could have fixed the FUR and that no such diagrams are allowed on WP even with FUR.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 05:24, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

If it's the image I'm thinking of, it was discussed here. Kelly 05:39, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

There seems to be some sort of disconnect at WP:GL. They seem to think a diagram can not be made Misplaced Pages:Graphic_Lab/Images_to_improve#Trump_International_Hotel_and_Tower_.28Chicago.29_floor_diagram. If it can not be recreated fair use is allowable. Please advise.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 05:40, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

I fail to understand why a fair use rationale could not be used. It is not possible for a person to conceptualize the 10 or so different floor uses orally. It is necessary for the understanding of the reader to have a diagram. In fact, this diagram was originally a talk page request because text is too confusing. A FUR is easy to write and the image would pass any reasonable FUR analysis due to the complexity of the building.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 06:33, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Apparently, you are smarter than most, because a diagram was requested for clarification. Who are we to say what others can conceptualize. The image is for those readers with lesser conceptualization skills than you.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 06:51, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

That would in the abstract be a good idea. However, floor-by-floor descriptions are uncommon. I have don't recall having ever seen one in an architectural article although I may be mistaken. With this in mind and the philosophy that a picture is worth a thousand words, the editors have requested a diagram. No one has requested a paragraph with further detail than what is currently in the text ("The design of the building includes, in order from the ground up, retail space, a parking garage, a hotel, and condominiums."). The diagram request formerly existed despite this text.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 07:07, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

It only conveys part of the information because it does not depict the building to scale in any way that helps the reader in a unified way with the image.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 07:21, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Tokyopop vol 1 K2 cover.jpg)

MasterCard

I must insist that the MasterCard SVG logo be made to render to a significantly lower default resolution. Could you explain your rationale for contending this? I'm aware that vector images can be scaled indefinitely, but a copyrighted logo whose default rendition is nearly twice my laptop's entire screen resolution, per "no larger than is required for the purposes of identification and/or critical commentary", is most certainly not acceptable. Thanks. WilliamH (talk) 12:05, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Sometimes I wonder myself why fair use vectors are even allowed, but nonetheless, they're infinitely scalable, so I hardly see what difference it makes what the default size is. (That and I find resizing vectors a real chore.) Melesse (talk) 12:21, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Yes I realise it may feel a little moot, but the difference it makes is per that copyrighted logos should not be defaulty rendered larger than necessary. WilliamH (talk) 12:41, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Image:Largemohicanpenguin.jpg

Hi, I saw you decided that this image is irreplaceable non-free content. I disagree. The book was first published in 1826 so it should be possible to get a scan of a public domain edition. Garion96 (talk) 15:03, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for deleting. I tried to find a cover of the original version on the internet but it wasn't there. If you are able to scan one, that would be great. Garion96 (talk) 18:26, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Bedford CA

Thanks for deleting the image of the Bedford CA, I don't think. If you look at the comments on the page, it was an image of the standard van as it left the factory. The image that remains is a modified vehicle, so the document is now misleading: Bedford CA's simply weren't like that when they left the factory. It was thus perfectly reasonable to leave the image of the Bedford CA, fair usage until we could find another image to replace it. I'm sure there's one in my family archive somewhere, certainly when we get some old Cine film transferred onto DVD there'll be one. However, I will leave other people to find an image now. I'm not going to waste my time. Yes I am annoyed. Its another example of over-zealous deleting on Misplaced Pages.Hethurs (talk) 15:59, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Image:Dutch street scene with Dutch organ.jpg

Can I ask why you think this image has a source? Not only does the image not have a source URL (so the license can't be verified) but it is tagged as PD (I doubt Flickr images are PD) and the image was uploaded in a batch of similar images, all lacking decent sourcing. J Milburn (talk) 17:26, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Just saw this and decided to check it out. It is from . Not released under a license Misplaced Pages can use. Garion96 (talk) 18:26, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Three images from The Devil Wears Prada

Could you go into some detail about how, exactly, you believe those pictures are replaceable, given that they all had rationales noting that they were production stills, illustrated and greatly enhanced the adjacent text in the article, were of an irrepeatable event (the production of the movie), and were within the informal limit of four fair-use images allowed in most articles about television or movie productions? (Two of them had bad backlinks because of a recent move, but that's been fixed). Daniel Case (talk) 09:33, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Before you say it could be done with text, consider also that The Devil Wears Prada is a movie about fashion, a very visual art form. It helps to have pictures for readers, especially those not familiar with what a particular designer's clothes look like to be able to visualize what that would look like from mere text (which is most of them). I might be willing to agree with you that having more than one picture of Meryl Streep in costume is too much (I'd prefer, then, to keep the one of her with Patricia Field). I've trimmed a lot of the fair use images from this article recently with the intention of taking it to FAC; I don't see why I should have to get rid of all of them, especially given the subject. Daniel Case (talk) 09:56, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

I'll have to check the still pool at IMdB or something. I doubt there are a lot of two-shot photos out there of Streep and Blunt, just from remembering the movie (anyway, she's never dressed "edgier" than she is in that outfit); but there are certainly photos of Streep and Anne Hathaway which would do the double duty of showing how both of them looked in costume. I could see losing the Streep/Frankel pic; I'd love to keep the Field one as it isn't often we have stills of people from either side of the camera working together in a movie and, I think, it's one thing to read it in the accompanying text but another to actually see it (i.e., it enhances the reader's understanding). (I will be adding to that section a free image of the movie being shot in a street someone uploaded to Flickr). Daniel Case (talk) 21:14, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

It seems the Flickr user in question had changed the licensing to CC-BY-NC, so I have left a comment asking him to change it. It wasn't a good closeup, really ... Anne Hathaway in the middle of a huge crowd on a street corner. It would not be as encyclopedic as the movie stills.

Yes, I'm very aware that Flickr users don't understand copyright. Not like we do ... I've uploaded hundreds of images to Commons, quite a few from Flickr. And I'm also aware that the limitations of our shortsighted image policy require that you use an equivalent free image if it's available. Nothing I found on Flickr that's usable yet would be.

So we can keep the Blunt picture as long as I get some stills showing Meryl Streep and/or Anne Hathaway in costume? Will try. Daniel Case (talk) 12:56, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Re: Fair use rationale for Image:Chemtool.png

You wrote: Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Chemtool.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Misplaced Pages articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Misplaced Pages:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Misplaced Pages policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too.

Fair use rationale for Image:MSFSand3addons.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:MSFSand3addons.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Misplaced Pages constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

Could you please explain more fully...

Could you please explain more fully why you characterized Image:Colombian security official appearing to wear Red Cross ID as a ruse.jpg as "replaceable"?

Could you please confirm that you looked closely enough at this case to understand that the grainy image on the right was from the video taken by the Colombian security officials, during the rescue -- and it thus clearly NOT replaceable?

Image problem

Hi, Melesse. I see that you have speedied the image , with the comment (Speedy deleted per (CSD I7), was an image with an invalid fair use rationale and the uploader was notified more than 48 hours ago. using TW). User:Giano—who is not the uploader—has asked me to restore it, because he thinks (from the amateurish quality) that it must be a self-taken photo, although it was apparently uploaded with an erroneous Fair Use rationale. Going to look, I intended to write to the uploader, Habanerosrl and ask him/her to re-upload it, this time with a proper rationale, if he has indeed taken the photo himself. But I'm flummoxed by seeing that Habanerosrl's talkpage is a redlink. Nobody has ever sent any notification to it, as far as I can understand. So, well, how can he have been notified more than 48 hours ago..? And is there any point in me creating the talkpage and posting on it? I must have missed something here. Can you throw any light, and assist us in getting the image back, if possible? Giano's viewpoint is that the page needs it. Bishonen | talk 09:43, 19 July 2008 (UTC).
