AfD nomination of Kir Kanos

I have nominated Kir Kanos, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Kir Kanos. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? --EEMIV (talk) 03:14, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Kirkanos.JPG)

Thanks for uploading Image:Kirkanos.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. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 12:13, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Virgin Killer

Thanks for actioning the RFP on this article. However, the version now protected contains the altered version of the album cover. Whether this cover should be altered or not is currently being discussed in an RFC. Until consensus is reached, the version of the page from before this edit-war should be retained. Until 8th May, the cover was the original one. The most recent revert, before protection, with the cover before the controversy is http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Virgin_Killer&oldid=211303267. As I understand policy, the image used should not change until a consensus is reached, or a decision made in another manner (e.g. legal action). Therefore, is it possible for you to restore the page to one showing the 'original' cover? Otherwise those trying to subvert the process of discussion by repeatedly changing the image used will have 'won. Thanks again, --  Chzz  ►  18:31, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Sorry. I apologise for reverting the image earlier. I understand fully why it's silly to get involved in 'revison wars'. At the time, I foolishly didn't understand that it had been changed back and forth so many times. As soon as I realised that the correct action would be a RFP, I found the correct place, and then saw that an RFP haad already been created by another user. I

then thanked him.

  • Thank you for taking the time to explain your thoughts on my talk page. I will consider your viewpoint and do some reading up. I believe that, whilst a matter is under discussiong, locking the page in any amended form is unfair, and the only fair policy would be to leave the original until the dispute is resolved. I will try to verify this by studying policy.

--  Chzz  ►  19:14, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Second apology. Having read WP:PREFER I now see that the actions you took were totally correct according to current policy. I also see there is some debate over this policy;

I'll put my comments in there.

I'll echo Chzz's thanks for stoping the dumb revert war. Jclemens (talk) 20:30, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
No problem. Nufy8 (talk) 22:12, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
