[edit] Deleted image from Dioxin entry

Hello I am still far from expert at this system and take it that your talk page may be used to contact you. I realize you are doing your best to abide by being careful with images. However the image you deleted was from all indications a perfectly good example of fair use of citation of a single chart from a scientific journal article.

The problem seems to be that Wikipedia did not have a clear "category" to put it into. The image you KEPT online, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Dioxin_chart.gif is from EPA so it was under "published by US government" category.

But I could find NO category that said "fair use of a published academic journal article" and Wikipedia did not have any obvious way to add a category, and in fact it looked like just leaving it uncategorized might even be ok. The now-deleted image can be found here:

http://www.ejnet.org/dioxin/dioxininfood.gif

And is a chart from May 2001 study by Arnold Schecter et. al.,

Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health, Part A, 63:1–18

Could you please upload it back and indicate for me what to do next time a fair use inclusion of a single chart, diagram, or figure from a published academic peer reviewed journal is uploaded?

Thanks,

[edit] Parham Nassehpoor's deleted foto

Hi Paranoid One,

I have the licence by the foto owner Parham Nassehpoor himself and wrote on 11/28 at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Media_copyright_questions referring "missing tag for Parham_Nassehpoor_Persian_Tar_01.jpg":

"Hi, yesterday the owner of the foto sent his permission for a cc-by licence to the German Wikipedia as you can check at http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bild:Parham_Nassehpoor_Persian_Tar_01.jpg. Can you transfer it to the English version? Regards, --VulpesE 19:56, 28 October 2006 (UTC)"

But I got no answer. Can you please explain me why you deleted it even before 14 days and can you upload the foto again by this licence?

Regards, --130.83.172.137 19:15, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: PuTTY

Thanks very much for the info. To be honest it was as I clicked the "save" button that I noticed that I had misread the notice, I thought it said it was illegal in England. This might explain why I posted it in the first place, and why I promptly deleted it :-). Thanks anyway, I will read that page as soon as I've finished my Maths... --Aceizace 22:52, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

No problem. :) --TheParanoidOne 22:58, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Deletion summaries

Hi, I have noticed that you often provide only a very short abbreviated deletion summary when you delete pages (like "a7" "nn-bio" and similar). Please keep in mind that most users do not know all of Wikipedia's speedy deletion criteria by heart. Please consider providing a brief "plain English" explanation without relying exclusively on "CSD jargon". Additionally linking to the relevant criteria so people can read it in full can also be useful, for example [[WP:CSD#A7]]. This will help a "layperson" better understand why something was deleted when looking at the deletion log.

Most browsers have a autocomplete or other "form filling" features that allow pre-prepared boil plate texts to be inserted into web forms with just a few keystrokes. This is useful for inserting detailed deletion summaries without having to type out the same things over and over. Please consider looking into it. Thanks. --Sherool (talk) 15:29, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Deleted article Tom Buscaglia: The Game Attorney

Hey Paranoid one...

Why was this article quick deleted? The Article was deleted last August but was completely rewritten in accord with Wikipedia policies and was appropriate for inclusion.

Is there any way for me to retrieve it for my own uses?

Why was there no notice or discussion?

Is there a procedure to challenge your unilateral action?

thb at Gameattorney dot com

Thanks.

"Tom Buscaglia: The Game Attorney" was deleted by myself because it was a redirect to a non-existent page, as mentioned by this deletion log entry. This is a perfectly valid deletion as it matches criteria R1 of Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion.

This broken redirect was created because that article was moved to "Tom Buscaglia" by Ace ofspade (talk • contribs), which was subsequently deleted by Crzrussian (talk • contribs). You will have to ask him/her why it was deleted.

Hope that helps. Let me know if you have further questions. --TheParanoidOne 10:31, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] AMENDMENT TO EARLIER POST: Deleting images that have copyright clearance for use on Wikipedia

I am a journalist and a lecturer in media law - including copyright issues. I know and understand the law of copyright. I also understand the penalities for breach of copyright. Consequently, when I post an image on Wikipedia, I know what I am doing. I also take cogniscence of Wikipedia's own polices and rules. Why then, when I have taken such care do you and others like you remove images the copyright of which you have no exact knowledge?

Why should I bother continuing to contribute material or even consider consider donating money to a project such as this when someone who obviously knows less than me about copyright interferes in ignorance with my work.

Make no mistake, I am not against anybody editing my work. If someone can add or make better then great. I am also in favour of having all images or text which breach someone else's copyright removed. I am a copyright holder myself and would not want my material stolen - for that is the correct term using copyright material without permission.

I have written to the management (or whatever they call themselves) of Wikipedia about this. I would ask that in future when "patrolling new pages" you do so from an informed position and not one of ignorance. Looking beneath my justifiably irate words, I see that I am not the only one with whose visual material you have interfered. Wikipedia needs to give people such as yourself proper instruction in the laws of copyright before letting loose. Or stop you from interfering at all. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.1.94.122 (talk • contribs) 21:53, November 29, 2006 (UTC)
Apologies: I forgot to add my name. - Brenmar 30 November 11.24am GMT

You'll be delighted to learn that having received a response from the Wikipedia information team, I may now publish the aforesaid picture as they understand it is cleared for us. They admitted that the " licensing section does not appear to have a category for publicity pictures issued for general use, however ... the fair use rationale that should be applied". - Brenmar

[edit] Your deletion of "Tawny-colored-domestic-longhaired-cat.jpg‎"

I took this picture. I uploaded this picture. The image is copyright to me. It is clearly stated in the image's info that I have released the image into public domain. There's your copyright status. Thank you. Teh Rae 03:25, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Quanahbusiness.GIF

If this image was a photograph of Quanah Parker (d. 1911), it is likely in the public domain. Could you please undelete it for a proper review? ˉˉ^anetode╦╩ 07:32, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Done. --TheParanoidOne 11:02, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, from the looks of it this image was taken in the 19th century. I'm fairly certain that it is in the public domain. ˉˉ^anetode╦╩ 11:45, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
