Deletion review for File:JR Fun Big.gif

An editor has asked for a deletion review of File:JR Fun Big.gif. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review.

It was for a template on my user page, and I want you to leave my user page alone.--MahaPanta (talk) 23:36, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

I agree not to edit your user page, or your user talk page. – Quadell 23:40, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

That template directly effects my userpage.--MahaPanta (talk) 23:42, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Your user talk page. Yes, it does. And I won't edit your user talk page again. Now if you don't want to talk with me, you can simply stop editing my user talk page and our dialog will end. – Quadell 23:55, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Thank you, Mr. Nominator

Jees, I'm crackin' up here Quadell, 'cos my RFA just passed at 77/2/1 and I have you to thank for the nice paragraph that everybody reads at the top. Now, how much did I say I'd pay you? :) Let me know if there's anything I can help with! - Jarry1250 16:34, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Congrats! Um... I guess I'll feel rewarded enough if you do a little on the admin backlogs and refrain from deleting the main page. Which the software won't let you do anyway. (Note: That's a joke. Don't try this at home, or anywhere else!) – Quadell 16:50, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Where did you get this image? Calliopejen1 (talk) 00:02, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

Hello. I'm an OTRS volunteer, and we received an e-mail from the photographer, Derrick James, verifying that he created the photograph and is willing to license it under a free license. The image is separately available on the web at http://img44.imageshack.us/i/blondambition.png/. All the best, – Quadell 00:40, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks a lot buddy. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 09:09, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

Your opinion here.

Your opinion would be most welcome at Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject United States courts and judges#Proposed renaming of List of judicial appointments made by Barack Obama. Cheers! bd2412 T 00:43, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

red read dead

Hi Quadell,

The link to the red list at Grey-hooded Attila came up as 'does not exist'. If this is the case, perhaps there is more. I thought this info might be helpful, in case there was a glitch somewhere or you wanted to do a Polbot update. Regards, cygnis insignis 08:49, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Wow. Yeah, that's a problem. It looks like the Red List changed the links for all its species, without providing redirects. This breaks all our links. :( – Quadell 12:15, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Yes, I was investigating this a little yesterday by chance. I can find no logic in the new numbers in the urls vs. the old ones. Which means we'll have to draw up a list and do it all manually. - Jarry1250  12:29, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Maybe. I've added a bot request. – Quadell 12:33, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Fair enough. Searching should work, I guess. - Jarry1250  12:38, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Might be worth contacting the IUCN webmaster to ask if they can offer any formula to go from organism name to web address, or old web address to new, then creating a template? (As recommended at Misplaced Pages:EL#Linking_to_databases.) It worked for me for the UK Charity Commission ({{EW charity}}) - in fact the chap I contacted was a[REDACTED] reader and was pleased to be able to help, and delighted when I gave him a credit in the documentation!

AutoEd

I read about AutoEd thru your userboxes and I have a few questions:

1. Is it only for admins?
2. If not, how can I install it, I cannot find a link to installing it anywhere..

--Rsrikanth05 (talk) 10:39, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

It's not just for admins–anyone can use it! To install it, edit your monobook.js page and add the following line:

        importScript('Misplaced Pages:AutoEd/complete.js');

Then purge your cache by following the instructions on that page. The script should then be installed and ready for use! All the best, – Quadell 12:39, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Possibly unfree files/2009 June 7#File:AERIAL FISH EYE011.jpg

Is there a reason why you closed this as delete? I saw no reason to assume bad faith with this image, and there was certainly no consensus for deletion. Just a heads up that I'll probably take it to DRV if you don't undelete--or point me towards some evidence of it actually being a copyright violation. Best, IronGargoyle (talk) 17:49, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

The evidence indicated it was likely a copyright violation, but made it impossible to tell for certain. The image was unused, and it had no description and no information about what/where it was depicting, so I couldn't see how it could be useful in an encyclopedia. There's a copy on Commons anyway, so I didn't figure it was a big deal. If you want to take it to DRV, though, go ahead. – Quadell 18:06, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Ok, didn't know it was on Commons. Thanks, IronGargoyle (talk) 14:30, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Hi

Why.
Thanks. ÷seresin 20:12, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Greetings. The debate was whether the image violated NFCC#8 in the article. You and two others contended that the image was used merely decoratively, and that's certainly a defensible position, but it's not unambiguous. Three-and-a-half others argued that the image showed important things that were discussed and weren't portrayed by the other pictures (and couldn't be conveyed by text alone). It is the only image in the article that shows any character recognizably, so it's also a defensible position. Since there was no consensus to delete, I did not delete the image. All the best, – Quadell 20:25, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

What is the important part of the film that the image illustrates? What information does the image impart that is critical to understanding the subject? Where is the critical commentary of this image? ÷seresin 20:40, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

As I said, this is the only image in the article that shows any character recognizably. Others opined that the style of film-making is shown -- you can read their opinions if you're curious. The reason I closed it as "keep" is not that I personally had an opinion that the image passed NFCC#8; the reason I closed it as "keep" is because it wasn't an unambiguous case, and there was no consensus to delete. – Quadell 20:48, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Okay. I've not decided if it's worth the effort to send to DRV yet, but I'll let you know if I do. ÷seresin 20:54, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

DrilBot

Thanks for closing it; I thought that it was starting to get overlooked. I do have one question though... is it approved just to do the redundant/needs-review tagging, or the work with {{GFDL-self}} and related tags? I don't mind either way, just wondering. Thanks! –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 00:59, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

It is approved to do the GFDL-self stuff as well, if you trust it to do well and are willing to fix any problems with that. – Quadell 01:03, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Okay; thanks for the clarification. If that becomes problematic I will shut off the function or fix the RegEx. –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 01:10, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Bots/Requests for approval/BOTijo 2

Does this then need to be marked as revoked? –xeno 12:43, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

I left a note at that page. Not sure if there's more that needs to be done on the bureaucratic side of things. – Quadell 12:48, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

inline-four

Hi. I could use your support on trying to change an article's title.Inline-four.Vegavairbob (talk) 14:13, 30 June 2009 (UTC) I need two votes to Support anyone you know? ThanksVegavairbob (talk) 19:27, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Licensing question

Hi. Question about compatibility of GPL to CC-By-SA here. I believe they're probably incompatible, but since I have 0 experience with GPL wanted to check. :) Thoughts? (There's also a question whether the text actually is licensed under GPL). --Moonriddengirl 14:37, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

testing new script

I'm doing a test run of "importScript('User:Splarka/ajaxsendcomment.js')" :) Will it work? Can I actually message you lazily from my own monobook page? --Moonriddengirl 18:39, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

I can. I did. :O --Moonriddengirl 18:40, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
