Mustang image

Isn't the photo you just put in the Ford Mustang (fifth generation) a derivative work of an image that was deleted as a copyvio, and hence a copyvio itself? IFCAR (talk) 00:25, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Is there any reason I should not nominate it for deletion? I don't appreciate being ignored when I ask a question. IFCAR (talk) 12:22, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

IFCAR, you should probably keep in mind that there is a life outside of Wikipedia and that many people have a lot more important obligations to that life. In the future, I suggest you assume good faith and watch the tone of your language. As far as the image goes, I really don't have a preference what happens to it. Take care. roguegeek (talk·cont) 15:57, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

I was trying to extend to you the courtesy of letting you weigh in on photos you'd supported heavily in the past, delaying a deletion nomination while waiting for your feedback. I'm sorry you could not take my question in the spirit it was offered. My second comment came after it seemed you had made other WP edits, so it would seem to me that you'd have seen my question at that point but just did not answer it.

Autopano page

Hi Roguegeek, I proposed an article about Autopano software a few months ago, and after your recommendations and those of other users, the article seemed to be OK with all Wikipedia rules. Your comment then was "The article looks like it addresses all of the policies now. Nice job!" and the comment of Happy-Melon was "That's an excellent and durable start-class article. Well done!". So I really wonder why is was deleted. Could you please tell me what to do? Thanks a lot. Waph (talk) 13:25, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

An article of yours is in AFD: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/ExifTool. Joe Chill (talk) 23:18, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

Re: U2 DVD

When I reverted your change, I moved the reference which supported the statement that said it was for a DVD (for some reason it was in the wrong location). When I made the edit it was reference #67, but when the edit was complete it was reference #64, making my edit summary inaccurate. The actual source is the Los Angeles Times article. The third sentence reads "Or, perhaps more accurately, you will benefit from the filming of the concert for an upcoming DVD release." Hope that clarifies things.

G8 predecessor

The GTO was based on the Holden Monaro, the G8 on the Holden Commodore. Both were RWD, and shared the same V platform (at least the previous generation Commodore did). It's not a perfect comparison, but the G8 did fill the niche of muscle car (or muscle-car-like) captive import left by the GTO. --Vossanova ^o< 19:52, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

You do see that being a pretty decent reach, yes? roguegeek (talk·cont) 20:46, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

Aside from 2-door vs. 4-door, it's not much of a stretch. I believe Pontiac marketed the G8 toward both GTO and Grand Prix buyers. But if I'm the only one who thinks the GTO is a predecessor, I won't argue if it's removed. --Vossanova ^o< 18:15, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

Blanking of talk page

Why did you blank my talk page while adding the orphaned image template?-- iBen^talk/_contribsIf you reply here, please place a talkback notification on my page. 01:14, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

DYK nom for Honda CB900F

I expanded Honda CB900F and nominated it for DYK. If you see any complaints on the suggestion page, can you help fix? Thanks! --Dbratland (talk) 05:54, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

DYK for Honda CB900F

On February 20, 2010, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Honda CB900F, which you created or substantially expanded. You are welcome to check how many hits your article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check ) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

tagging of Mfx

You tagged Mfx for speedy deletion under WP:CSD#A7. But it was previously discussed and kept at an AfD, as shown on its talk page. As per WP:CSD, in such cases speedy deletion is not warranted (except for a newly discovered copyright issue). If you think this page should be deleted, please start a new WP:AFD discussion.

Ray-Ban Wayfarer image

New Wayfarer

Wayfarer

Hi Roguegeek,

I strongly disagree with your choice of lead image for the Wayfarer article. First and foremost it doesn't show the actual subject of the article. The "New Wayfarer" model sure deserves it's mention and an image, but not at the top of the page. I think that position should be used for an image of an actual "Wayfarer" model, as it is a fashion classic and the reason the Wayfarer article exists in the first place.

Furthermore, the image quality of the picture you chose leaves a lot to be desired. On first glance it looks quite professional with its perfectly white background, but one can hardly make out any details. The whole front of the glasses appears as one solid black surface. The image in the "1990s decline and 2001 redesign" section is way better, even though the angle is odd.

The image of the 1980's sunglasses is not only representative of the 1980's. It's what Wayfarers looked like for decades. Moreover it shows off the subtleties of the design fairly well. In my opinion the encyclopedic value of the 80's "Wayfarer" image is far bigger than that of the "New Wayfarer" one.

Best regards

Starman1984 (talk) 15:16, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

Hey Starman. I can see your point, but I'm gonna disagree here. I honestly don't see much of a difference between the classic and new Wayfarer glasses. I mean yeah, there are differences, but your typical reader (who Wikipedia is suppose to cater to and not the enthusiast) wouldn't know the difference. As far as the actual image quality goes between the two, it's minor and no where close to noticeable. What we have to ask ourselves is this. What is the more encyclopedic image? What shows the subject more clearly? When looked at it this way, my argument is for the white image because it 1) it displays more of the subject and 2) it displays only the subject.

So how do we solve this? Well, I suggest we take this conversation over to the article's talk page and see what other editors say about the issue. Let's build a consensus and however it goes, I'll be happy going in that direction. Thoughts? roguegeek (talk·cont) 16:37, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

alright. Let's move the discussion. Starman1984 (talk) 18:21, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

Your userpage in a category

 Your userpage User:Roguegeek/Articles/Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W100 has a category, and so appears in Category:Cyber-shot cameras.
As the guideline on userpages describes, this is undesired. It is suggested that you edit the userpage to prevent this showing. It can be done by adding a semicolon (:) before the word Category, like this: [[:Category:Cyber-shot cameras]]. -DePiep (talk) 21:35, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

Re:Secondary sources

You may not understand secondary sources, either. This is a topic that is disputed between two different news organizations, categorizing it as a rumor.

While the reporting of rumors has a limited news value, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and should include information verified by reliable sources. Wikipedia is not the place for passing along gossip and rumors.

I appreciate that you're offering advice, but I'm fine, thanks. DarthBotto _talk•cont 03:07, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
