HELLO!!!!

JUST BECAUSE I CREATE AN ARTICLE ABOUT MYSELF DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOU CAN DELETE IT!!!!! I THINK THAT YOU ARE SO STUPID THAT YOU CAN'T EVEN SPEAK ENGLISH!!!!

MHAJARNIS

Which article are you referring to? Rettetast 21:05, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I found out. It was Mohit. You have to agree that the article wasn't very encyclopedic? And please don't write in caps. Rettetast 21:08, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello

Your vote on my RFA is placed in "Oppose" section. However, your edit summary shows "Support". I was just puzzled. Can you clarify it? Thanks a lot! Aquarius • talk 21:28, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Request deletion

Thanks you for deleting some of my old user subpages. Previously I was User:Joshua Chiew; I change my name to User:Joshua and I would like to delete my old monobook.js (which is now a redirect to my current monobook.js). Since I cannot edit the monobook.js file, I left a note on the talk page but you only deleted the talk page. Could you help me to delete User:Joshua Chiew/monobook.js? Thanks. --Joshua Say "hi" to me!What have I done? 10:29, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Rettetast 12:09, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Latin American subaltern studies

Hi. I note that you deleted Latin American subaltern studies even though I'd put a "hangon" tag on it, immediately following a speedy delete. You did this with no apparent investigation. I'd put the tag there while I created and edited a replacement article. I feel the way you went about things was over-hasty and hardly impressive. You might have looked into why someone might put a tag asking people to, precisely, "hang on." --Jbmurray 19:43, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The only content of the article when I deleted it was {{hangon}}. It had already bin deleted when you recreated it with only the hangon template. And for the record. If an article meets the criteria for speedy deletion the article can be deleted at once even if there is a hangon template on it. Rettetast 19:46, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

See User talk:Jbmurray. Thanks for responding. --Jbmurray 20:12, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It was blatant advertising for the product. Such pages are deleted on sight. Try to write a balanced article. Rettetast 10:03, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I was working on the page when you deleted it. Also you didn’t reply to my comments on the talk page! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Salsabelfast (talk • contribs)

I read them, but they did not change the fact that the article was blatant advertising. You can get tips for your first article at Wikipedia:Your first article. If you need the source for the deleted article, contact me. Rettetast 10:26, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Possible bad user pages?

Sorry to bug you, but you always have provided good help. When looking through some recent changes I stumbled onto these user pages, User:Fox and Falco rock, and User:Yoshi and Peach. They seem to be passing messeges through their user pages (which I warnged them for) but the way they cover it up is with a bunch of posts promoting a new game. What is a good way to go about dealing with this, or is it completely ok for them to post a bunch of crap on their user pages? Thanks. Inter16 15:03, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have nominated them for deletion. See Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Yoshi and Peach and Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Fox and Falco rock. Rettetast 15:23, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • I noticed what you were doing, it caught my eye when I looked through some recent changes. I looked at pages you went to have them deleted, and I see the process to use from now on. Thanks for the help......again.Inter16 15:29, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Loyola University Museum of Art

Hello, Why have you reinstated the old entry for the Loyola University Museum of Art? I spent several hours yesterday updating the entry, correcting information and adding pictures to ensure it was up-to-date and informative. Thanks

Hello. Some of the information you added was not encyclopedic like information about prices and opening hours. Such information should not be included in wikipedia. The images you uploaded were deleted because they were under a license that did not allow commecial use. Such images are not allowed on wikipedia and are speedily deleted under the WP:CSD#I3-criteria. Your old version of the page are not lost. You can fin it in the articles history. You can find the ladt vesion you saved here. If you feel that I removed something that belongs in the article feel free to reinstate it. Rettetast 18:05, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you

I just came over an image marked by your bot and then checked and found Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/MetsBot 11. I saw my request being archived from the bot request page earlier this night and thought all chance of getting my request fulfilled was gone. I just had to say thank you. This was great.

An idea for the bot. The images that has not bin confirmed to be in a category or article on commons may have bin added after the bot checked. Maybe the bot can check these images again after a period. And maybe it should list these images somewhere. Maybe at commons?

Again thank you for the great bot work. Rettetast 22:02, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks :-). I'll try to incorporate the "recheck" into the bot soon, although no guarantees. As for listing the images that aren't in a category, it's possible, but I don't really think it's necessary. Since you're an image expert, I have a few questions for you :-) Do you know of an effective way to check if the license and source are appropriate on commons? Right now I'm checking for the exact wording and tags, or else the bot is asking me and I'm reviewing it manually. And if the image is in the public domain, does the uploader here on en.wiki need to be credited on Commons? If both the image here and on commons have the same license tag template does the source need to be listed on Commons? Is "this image is from the English Wikipedia" acceptable for a source? —METS501 (talk) 02:13, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I am no image expert...(yet). I am still learning. I would believe it is easiest to check the templates, but there is a third option. It could check what license category the image is in. I'll believe the tags would be easier to compare though but but there are probably templates with different names. I don't know how to deal with them.
As for the PD-problem there is probably no legal issues if the images containes that information, but if it was the en-uploader who released the image to PD, I would imagine the upload log should be there so that it is possible to check the license in the future. If its a random image from the us government that the en-uploader found on the net its not necessary with the en-upload log. Rettetast 07:29, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted Image

Hi.

I know that you just deleted the image I uploaded of "Estadio Miguel Grau Piura.jpg". I don't know why it was deleted because the owner (of worldstadiums.com) gave me permission to use it.

MicroX 03:46, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Such licenses are not allowed on wikipedia. You can read more at Wikipedia:Image use policy. In short the the image has to be under a free license. Rettetast 07:31, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
But the copyright allowed the image to be commerical. Could it be uploaded again or is there another problem?
No, it didn't. You asked if you could use the image on wikipedia and got a yes. Nothing more nothing less. We want wikipedia to be a free encyclopedia where one can use what you find in other places. Such licenses as this image had could not be used elsewhere. You can ask if they want to release the images under a free license, but it is probably easier to take a picture of your own, or find a wikipedian who live nearby to take on. You can also request an image on Commons:Commons:Picture requests. Rettetast 21:14, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
But on the website, it says that it can be used commercially. "World Stadiums is a database-related commercial website about stadiums." [1] Or have I misinterpreted this?
Where do you find that. I only see this. All materials appearing on World Stadiums, unless otherwise noted, including but not limited to stadium information, graphical images, and interactive applications cannot be reused in any way without prior permission from the owner[2]. Rettetast 21:44, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
But I did get permission. And the website says that it is commercial. Doesn't that qualify?[3]MicroX 21:54, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, you did get permission, but only for wikipedia, and it is policy to not allow such images. Rettetast 05:34, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Why?

You nominated my image of the toy soldier logo for speedy deletion. Why? please contact me at chrisdduffill@aol.com

It's explained in the message on your talk page. Images that is permitted only on wikipedia is not allowed. The image has to be under a free license. Rettetast 18:34, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to request an appeal of the deletion both the Waffle Fry Paradox and the associated talk page.

Rettetast - this image was one supplied by the candidate for public use. What attribution should it have? —Preceding unsigned comment added by DemiFL (talk • contribs)

Promotional images like this is not allowed on wikipedia. Images have to be under a free license and it is the author that can release it under a free license. A release to "public use" is not a free license. The fairuse alternative is not an option either since an image of a living person is easy to replace. Rettetast 19:59, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You have to specify which free license you are releasing it under. I recommend GFDL which is the same as your text contributions are released under. Just add {{GFDL-self}} to the image. And for the record I am not an anti-Muslim Xenephobe:-). I just delete images that doesnt conform with Wikipedias image policy's. Rettetast 22:09, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I apologize - it is for FREE use, not public use.

bobmorrow.jpg

Hello,

You deleted bobmorrow.jpg which was being used on the article for the former mayor of hamilton. This was probably because I did not upload it correctly. I have since contacted the city and they have told me through the Mayor's office that I may use any picture of the former Mayors on wikipedia. How do I upload and tag these correctly? If you would like me to forward you the email from City Hall I can do that as well.

Thanks.

Howard Rabb

Since you now have uploaded the images to commons, you can forward the e-mail that releases the images into a free license to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org. Remember that it is not a free license if the mail only states that the images can be used at wikipedia. Rettetast 06:33, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Rattetast Thank you for your input. I'm still puzzled as to how to get the photo of the winding engine properly tagged/authenticated/certified correctly to allow its inclusion.

I see that another editor has helped out. A permission to use an image for wikipedia ia by our policys not good enough. The image should be under a free license. Wikipedia also accepts some sorts of fair use, but I am not sure that this image is really needed in the article, but I will not interfer. Have a great day.

Facts-anette.jpg and Image:Paul Potts at ITV.jpg

Hello Rettetast.

Ser du er fra Norge, så regner med at det er greit hvis jeg tar det på norsk. Begge de bildene du henviser til er det ikke jeg som har lastet opp. Begge bildene var uten gyldig lisens fra starten av, så det var det jeg som satt på. Jeg har ikke klart å finne noen bilder med en gratis lisens noe sted. Ser du skriver at det ikke er nok med å skrive at det ikke finnes noe gratis bilde, så lenge et gratis bilde kan bli lagd. Men så lenge det for øyeblikket ikke finnes noen gratis bilder, så synes jeg at det gjeldende bildet burde være der. Beklager hvis jeg ikke hadde en utdypende beskrivelse av fair-use på bildene, trodde jeg hadde fått med det viktigste. Men hvis jeg har forstått det riktig så må alle disse kravene oppfylles for at bildene skal være gyldig? Så vidt jeg kan se så oppfyller begge bildene kravet.

Ha en fin kveld! : ) Dybdal 21:34, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Kommunikasjon skal egentlig gå på engelsk, men la gå:-). Beklager at du fikk meldingen på Facts-anette.jpg. Det andre bildet så jeg at du hadde redigert og ville bare gi beskjed slik at du ble klar over retningslinjene. Det er nemlig slik at når det kan bli produsert ett fritt bilde så bryter bildene med WP:FUCs første kriterium. Det er ikke godt nok at det ikke for tiden finnes ett fritt bilde. Bildene bryter derfor med WP:FUC og kan derfor ikke brukes på engelsk wikipedia. (Explaining the first fair use criteria in Norwegian) Rettetast 22:11, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Skjønner. Kan godt fortsette på engelsk. : )
I get your point : ). What I understod is that this image is not valid on wikipedia and has to be deleted. That's fair enough. But just to make a point, there are probably thousands of copyrighted images on en.wikipedia that easly could have been replaced with a free one! ;) Håper jeg forstå alt riktig, er mange regler man må passe på! : ) Have a nice day!

Hi, I was under the impression that I had 48 hours to claim that image was fair use. Why has it been deleted then ?

Images that are uploaded under a license that states that it can only be used on Wikipedia is speedily deleted, but we usualy wait at least one hour before we delete it. If you want me to restore the image so you can claim fair use. Please tell me. Rettetast 10:48, 17 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Image:Billy Yesudian.jpg

Hi. Jus realised that you'd deleted this image. Was wondering why. I see the reasons given are because the Fair Use Rationale was incorrect. Please let me know how I can use an image that is found without a copyright notice on a website. There are no copyright notices accompanying any of the content on that particular webpage. Further, we need an image to illustrate the article regarding the musician. Any help in this regard would be welcome, if you have the time. Thanks. aJCfreak yAk 15:00, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use images are not allowed if a freely licensed image can be produced. Since this was an image of a living person there is no doubt it can be replaced. That you currently can't find a freely licensed does not change the fact tht such an image can be produced. Rettetast 17:08, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image:9781741143874.jpg

I'm a bit confused as to why this was flagged as non-free content and why it is claimed there is no explanation or rationale. The Fair Use Rationale was provided at the time, explaining that this is free content (publicity photo) provided by the publisher specifically to illustrate revies, etc of the book and its author. Copyright remains with the publisher however free use is permitted for promotion, research and study. Dbromage 01:25, 19 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

For the sake of avoiding redundancy, I must refer you to the discussion page of this image. If you had read the discussion page before disputing the fair use claim, you would see that this matter has been settled before. User:Quadell disputed the fair use claim last year. I explained that the vehicle pictured is a one-off prototype that has not made a public appearance since 2002, and for that reason it should remain, citing fair use.
