Hi,
I was not fast enough to correct the image details and it has been deleted. Do I have to upload the file again - I have the correct information now.

C:SD#Dated deletion categories

Hi Melesse. Sorry for the late reply. With regards to Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive602#User:Melesse: Please bear in mind that we run our business on UTC (Universal Standard Time), not individual users' (or sysops', for that matter) time zones, which, as you know, vary eclectically. Now I'm not hear to nag you or anything of that sort, but I it would be beneficial for you to know this. I kindly request that you stop deleting these files ahead of schedule, as it is only fair that we give users the full 7 days to fix the problems noted with their files. Best wishes, 08:44, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

Nunez.jpg

Hi, you took the following action on March 15:

01:30 . . Melesse (talk | contribs) deleted "File:Nunez.jpg" (Speedy deleted per CSD F7, was a file with an invalid fair use rationale and the uploader was notified more than 48 hours ago. using TW)


I was not notified about this 48 hours prior. Could you restore it please Sandman888 (talk) 08:59, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

What's this? http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=User_talk:Sandman888&diff=349566776&oldid=349511613 Melesse (talk) 10:57, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
At notice about File:CesarRodriguez.jpg, which is not the same file as Nunez.jpg. If you notify about one file does that cover all uploaded files? Sandman888 (talk) 20:58, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
My mistake. A script in the uploading page actually put the warning in the file page automatically. You should have seen it immediately when the file had finished uploading. Melesse (talk) 01:20, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

Clarify your beef with the al hirt audio file?

I see you took it upon yourself to flag an audio file I put up. http://en.wikipedia.org/File:Al_hirt_samples.ogg It's been there since 2008. It has representative samples from two LP tracks. Can you clarify what you feel the problem with it is? Docsavage20 (talk) 23:35, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

It only appears to be in the article for decoration, it isn't part of any critical commentary. Melesse (talk) 01:15, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
That's a reflection of your own bias, certainly not a valid basis for the supposed claims you've inserted. Interesting that you're the only one who's come to this conclusion in the time the file has been up. It's an illustrative example of the article subject's work as also found in articles on the Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Michael Jackson, art works of DaVinci, etc. Are you going to make it your personal crusade to eliminate all audio files from Misplaced Pages because you think they're "unnecessary decoration"?Docsavage20 (talk) 07:41, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

Image:Genesis Model1 High Definition Graphics.jpg

I saw the deletion, and decided to double-check the forum thread the image was posted in. It seems that a few hours before you deleted the file, the person in question posted this. If you undelete, please also revert this bot edit. Thanks. Anomie 01:37, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

Now you deleted that file, although I disputed the comment that usage wasn't fair Sandman888 (talk) 07:42, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
