Non Free SVGs (part 2)

View previous discussions

Hello David, I see you've archived. I'm not done discussing. To clear things up, no, I still do not agree with you and still think that the SVG should be used. I acquiesced to you because of your stubbornness and incivility towards me, which I regret now. We do not have an agreement. What sets the Bungie article apart from all of the other articles that have non-free vector images in them? I am still waiting for an answer. Connormah (talk) 01:13, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Other stuff exists doesn't apply here. This isn't a situation in which someone is arguing that X is comparable to Y, Y exists, so X should exist too. The point is that X is Y, and the community has decided to use Y. (The image is a non-free SVG, and the community has decided to use non-free SVGs.)
Connormah and I have asked David to explain how X isn't Y (how some sort of special circumstance renders the community's decision inapplicable to the article/logo in question), and he has ignored our requests. Thus far, his only rationale for removing the SVG seven eight times is that he personally disagrees with the community's decision and believes that his major role in authoring the Bungie article entitles him to control its content. He has expressed this in an uncivil manner, stating that Connormah is "not a significant contributor to this article" and repeatedly telling him to "go away." —David Levy 01:52, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Re Ffd

So this is more of an issue with the other million articles with SVG logos, right? Reverting the changes in the article because you think you reserve ownership of the article is a terrible venue. I think consensus is clear that the SVG should be used, so if you have a problem with SVG fair-use images, please discuss this somewhere else where the community can determine whether it should be a guideline. It seems clear to me that you violate WP:POINT and this can be a serious issue especially since you are an admin in which we expect better from. ZooFari 04:48, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Battle of Grand Port

Thankyou very much for your comments at the FAC for the Battle of Grand Port. The article has now passed, and your interest and comments during the process were much appreciated.--Jackyd101 (talk) 21:58, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

Non-free SVGs

It's obvious that no one is happy with the current situation. I agree with you that a major community discussion is called for, and I support your efforts to initiate one.
As I've noted, while I regard the use of non-free SVGs as the status quo, I'm neutral as to whether it should continue. I believe that there are strong arguments on both sides of the debate, and I'd like very much for all of them to be fleshed out and addressed on a larger scale.
I hope that we can work together (along with other editors of varying viewpoints) to organize such a debate and agree to abide by whatever consensus emerges. One thing of which I'm certain is that an unambiguous policy (whether in allowance or disallowance of non-free SVGs) would be vastly preferable to endless bickering. I hope that you agree. —David Levy 22:41, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

Gullibility

You placed full protection on this article in Nov 08. Please could you reduce this to semi-protection, say, as I wish to write upon this notable topic. Colonel Warden (talk) 18:34, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

Belated response to call for sources

Hi. I remember that you asked, weeks ago, for Turok: Dinosaur Hunter references on the WPVG talk page. Despite the fact that you already got Turok to FA, I thought I'd mention that I found a few notable reviews recently, while digging through Wayback to improve the newly-created Online print archive. If you're interested in including them, they can be found here. JimmyBlackwing (talk) 08:48, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

Hey, I noticed you created free images for the Seasons of Bleach and Seasons of Naruto featured topics, and wondered if you'd be interested/willing to do one for the Tokyo Mew Mew candidacy? -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 14:51, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

Hey, just wanted to touch base to see where things were with the image. The FT has "passed" but is being held for the image :) -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 22:27, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

Halo 3: ODST and the FT

As this game is now released, you have until December 22 to get the article to GA, or someone can nominate the Halo media FT for removal. I'm sure that won't be a problem though ;) rst20xx (talk) 15:30, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

For promoting Turok: Dinosaur Hunter to FA. Thunderbrand (talk) 17:03, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

Hello, I was perusing Wikipedia as I normally do and saw that Turok: Dino Hunter was promoted to FA! I dunno if you remember me, but I worked on getting it to GA status and tidying up the Turok articles awhile back. I stopped editing in April 2007, but I usually wander around when I'm bored. I wanted to give you this barnstar for the hard work you put into the article and making it a great source of information. Thunderbrand (talk) 17:03, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

Why did you revert my edit to Halo3 ODST when the sniper is over telephone wire? (please reply here)  rdunnPLIB  14:04, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

International Space Station

Hello there! As an editor who has posted a comment in one of the recent Peer Reviews, GANs or FACs of International Space Station, I was wondering if you wouldn't mind commenting in the current Peer Review as to whether you feel your original comments have been dealt with, if you see any new issues with the article, and whether or not you believe the article will meet the criteria for Featured Article status. Any new comments you have would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks, Colds7ream (talk) 16:57, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

Otterathome discussion

I was probably wrong when I stated that this wasn't a DRV candidate. However, that's not why I proposed the community ban -- it was Otter's repeated attacks on MasterOfPuppets for "not responding", and his badgering of opposing editors in the AfDs and DRVs that caused me to propose it. Should I go back and add diffs to make this clearer? I'm responding here as I'm trying to stay out of the community discussion, as an involved editor. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 18:31, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

Re: 'Ello, guv'na

I kindly decline the offer. Maybe another time. Gary King (talk) 20:16, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

misc.

My comments were intended to reveal the editor's true character, and that mission was accomplished. The thread was closed at the perfect time. →Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots 22:22, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

That's not something I could do as an admin. In fact, there are lots of things I couldn't do as an admin that I can do as an editor. So as it turns out, I have more freedom by not being an admin. The basic problem is that admin candidates who are too well known and who would be good admins are opposed by those who fear they will do their jobs and crack down on malcontents like OR. (Which I couldn't do, though, as we have a prior history - that would be up to someone else to take care of.) So by being a phony, and kissing up, one can get to be an admin. At least for awhile. Like that snake called "Pastor" Theo. →Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots 23:06, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
The interesting thing about OR's saga on Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case is that he's trying to make it to be a content dispute, but it reads more like a bi-directional RfC/U. "They're terrible!" "No, HE's terrible!" etc. →Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots 15:48, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

Hi David. Can you extend the "deadline" on Talk:The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King/GA1? I'm planning on improving the article soon. Thank you, Theleftorium 17:02, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

Great, thanks. :) I'll be working on it in my sandbox, in case you want to put that on your watchlist. Theleftorium 20:51, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
Hey again. I thought I'd have time to work on the article this month, but unfortunately I don't, so feel free to close the review. Regards, Theleftorium 22:33, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

Refs for later?

Hiding "Refs for later" in a comment is ... messy. Please considering doing this another way, bookmark the links in your browser, save them in a file on your own computer, create your own wikipedia sandbox page, mention them in a comment on the talk page and encourage others to help add them or at the very worst add them to the external links section (possibly with a comment saying to merge them inline). By adding them hidden away as a comment, all in one block, not even individually where you think they might be useful references, those links look a lot like spam, and are very likely to be deleted. At least by adding them to the Talk page or External links other editors might think to try and add them inline to the article. My first reaction was to delete the links but I've made the extra effort to ask you to please try to find a better way. -- Horkana (talk) 01:50, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

A request if you have the time and capability...

Hi, Dave. If you still have Pro Nexus or those whatcha-may-call-it newspaper archive access services, could you do me a favor? Are there any dead-tree media coverage of Sacrifice that would be useful to the article? If so, could you send them to me? Also, I would appreciate your comments for the article at Wikipedia:Peer review/Sacrifice (video game)/archive1 or Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/Peer review/Sacrifice (video game) if you have the time or spirit to do so. Jappalang (talk) 08:05, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

ODST resolution

I'm more curious than anything else, but why is this edit to ODST an issue? It's merely a cite for the resolution, and 360 Gamer isn't considered unreliable. I really don't see what the issue is here unless that particular news article is false. I'm sure there's a good reason, I'd just like to know for my own future reference. --Teancum (talk) 11:22, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the response. That's what I wanted to know. --Teancum (talk) 15:06, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

GA Delisting of Go (game)

Hi, could you please relist Go (game) as a Good Article? Allowing only one week for the article's reassessment is far too short, IMO. I, for example, happened to be away on holiday for a week, and never even got to see the fact that it was up for reassessment, much less comment on it.

Question about a Commons SVG

Hey David. Do you know why thumbnails of File:Atlus A logo.svg aren't displaying correctly? Shortly after uploading the file, I uploaded a new version with the correct shade of blue, but PNG renders of it still show up with the original, darker blue. Only when viewing the raw SVG is the correct color used. Do you know how to fix this? Thanks and cheers. -sesuPRIME 09:52, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Ah, thanks. -sesuPRIME 23:45, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Me again David. I've got another question, this time about copyright. This PDF of the Nintendo DS Lite's instruction booklet contains an SVG of the DS Lite logo. The booklet is copyrighted, but the logo is ineligible for copyright, so is that SVG logo OK for Commons? I'm pretty sure it is, but I thought I'd make sure before uploading. Cheers. -sesuPRIME 12:42, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks! -sesuPRIME 23:45, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country

Sorry, I didn't see right away that you had posted on the article's talk page; I've responded to you there so please continue to discuss. Anyway, you also reverted several other changes besides mine, and I still can't tell if those were intentional because I don't know why you reverted those, so please doublecheck those changes.

Warning on Halo 3: ODST

Quotes in Cortana articles

Hi,

I noticed your revert of my use of the | quote = parameter in the Cortana article. It seems to work when used, is there a reason you're not using the template field? I'm curious 'cause often situations like this let me learn something new. WLU (t) (c) Wikipedia's rules:simple/complex 14:23, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

'Kay. The only differences I see are that the quote parameter puts the quote at the end and in quotations, but it's still quite apparent in my mind. But as you say, stylistic preference. Note that regards Flood (Halo), vitrification is a disambiguation page; I chose glass transition as an alternative wikilink but only 'cause slag refers to metal refining specifically. Too bad there's no page saying Glassed or glassing is a term used in science fiction to denote the vitrification of a planet's surface due to orbital bombardment. Now that would be the perfect page. WLU (t) (c) Wikipedia's rules:simple/complex 15:08, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

Spider-Man GAR

Um, I have some issues with how you handled the Spider-Man 2 GAR. First, you didn't transclude the review page to the article talk page. Second, you didn't notify any major contributor (or any contributor for that matter), nor the film WikiProject...which it clearly says to do at WP:GAR. As a result, no one knew about the GAR, which is why it went 7 days without a comment from anyone. In the future, could you please follow the steps for nominating an article for GAR more closely, so that articles can be saved in time and not have to go through the GAC process all over again--which can takes months on end before finding a reviewer. Thank you.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 14:16, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Was it removed immediately, because I don't see it? As [[WP:FILMS] is the community, not the select people that watch the task force pages, or the announcement template. Also, it says notify the primary contributors, which was not done.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 14:26, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
