Had to delete the image you added to your own article Rebecca, images with extremely visible watermarks are against wikipedia standards. Please feel free to contribute another without the extremely large watermark to your article Rebecca Cummings, but be aware of our policy on autobiographies. Thanks!  ALKIVAR™ 10:19, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

Alkivar, Sorry about the image. I've been reading the guidlines on images. Is it okay if I contact you when I post a new picture to make sure it is up to standards?

I am not Rebecca and not even of the female species. If you would like voice confirmation I can provide you with a telephone number. Myke HT Productions 20:13, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

No need to have me call you... I just assumed you were rebecca since 90% of your edits were on her page, and your from the same company.  ALKIVAR™ 03:05, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

To clarify for anyone else who reads this - I am a co-owner with Rebecca. I do most of the behind the scenes work for the company. HT Productions 05:12, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Alkivar,

I added a new picture to Rebecca Cummings. Can you take a look at it to make sure it meets all standards?

Thanks In Advance!

[edit] Image:Rebecca Cummings.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Rebecca Cummings.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Chowbok 22:57, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Questions

I don't understand why I should have to justify the image, Image:Rebecca Cummings.jpg, when it meets all the criteria.

I have just dealt with a replaceable fair use tag on the image that I uploaded. It took a minute or less to post a tag on the image but then I have to spend a days worth of my free time re-researching to make sure I didn't miss something originally. I also had to make sure there isn't anything new by reading User Chowbak, copyrights, image use policy, fair use, fair use talk, fair use criteria, fair use exceptions, image copyright tags, non free image copyright tags category, promotional images category, promotional template talk, Village pump (policy) Deletion of promotional photos, User:Konstable, publicity photos and promophoto template talk. (Those are just the tabs that I currently have open.)

Somewhere hours ago I read something about trolling. Why not make it like most cases in our courts where if you are going to bring up an issue you have to prove it? Wouldn't it be easier for the person who posts a tag to find/try and find an image and replace the one that is there. Then the person would also find that there are not any license free pictures out there and not waste the time of the person that originally researched and posted the picture.

As a newbie I can understand Konstable's frustration and leaving Wikipedia for Citizendium.

Finally, before looking after other people's work please make sure that your articles are up to the Wikipedia Manual of Style including being properly sourced.--HeartThrobs 10:44, 7 November 2006 (UTC) It's early in the morning after a long day. I'll fix the links later. --HeartThrobs 10:48, 7 November 2006 (UTC) Links fixed--HeartThrobs 18:37, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vote canvassing

Just FYI, canvassing votes to get the decision you want on a AFD discussion is frowned upon. —Chowbok ☠ 23:18, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rebecca Cummings

Just so you I'm not ignoring you, I have revisited the Rebecca Cummings article and read the AFD debate subsequent to your request, but I have been unable to form an opinion as to the subject's notability. TheMadBaron 03:39, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Some of the ways I take no reply are undecided, no opinion, prefer not to comment or more important things going on. Which are all included in honest unbiased opinion. Thanks for letting me know.--HeartThrobs 22:15, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Chowbok RfC

I have begun RfC procedures for User:Chowbok. Since you've had previous disputes with him about image uploads, maybe you'd like to add your commentary? [1] TheQuandry 03:02, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
