[edit] Reverting correct changes

Please don't revert changes where it is obvious that they are correct (not the Dan Marino change, but the Vince Young change) to Wonderlic Test. SushiGeek 07:53, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

'Previously rumored' is true, however. [1] [2] [3] SushiGeek 18:53, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re:Zico

Thanks for the info on the "Japan Soccer League" name, I didn't know about it. But I have no idea why you have mentioned the "fully professional" thing. I'm aware of all that stuff, so what's your point? —Lesfer (talk/@) 21:07, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

OK, I stopped the Fabio Grosso heckler. Anyway, it looks from his contribs that he is from Sydney, Australia, and apart from the maybe 5-10% of Australians who are of Italian descent, everybody here including myself is very livid with the decision.Blnguyen | rant-line 07:13, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 2006 FIFA World Cup controversies

Hi! Thanks for contributing to the 2006 FIFA World Cup controversies, your changes are most appreciated. Feel free to continue the drive to make this article neutral. I honestly believe that this article can become featured standard, so if you wish, please aid in these ambitions. Regards, MyNameIsNotBob 00:51, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your thank you! It's a tricky article by its nature. Well done for all your good work too. --Guinnog 01:28, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Patent nonsense/speedy deletions

The page Wikipedia:Patent nonsense explains what patent nonsense is and also gives some examples of what isn't patent nonsense. In the case of Simon Overall, the article was a hoax, but hoaxes aren't considered patent nonsense, nor are they speedy-deletable (see Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Non-criteria). I think the easiest way to take care of something like Simon Overall would be to use proposed deletion ("prod"). Ardric47 02:27, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

The Working Man's Barnstar
Your tireless work on improving the 2006 FIFA World Cup controversies article is more than worthy of this barnstar - the level head you have shown in dealing with an issue which could have easily got out-of-hand was a lesson for us all. Well done! --Killfest2 07:17, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] credit for mostbeautifulman.com

90% of male celebrities on wikipedia with our external links, have excerpts and summaries of our original bio. Starting from model Steven Strait to Filipino actors Troy Montero, Richard Gurtierrez, etc. In particular information from our exclusive in-person interviews and profile with most of the male celebrities our link you removed. Since you removed our link, we might as well remove the information taken from our website. We are not asking to remove the information taken from our website in violation of the user's agreement, all we are asking is for a proper hyperlinked credit to mostbeautifulman.com —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Wikiako (talk • contribs).

[edit] Images from players' articles

Why did you removed images from JNT players articles? This is fair use, source added, so where did you see "copyvio"? This type of images are using on very many football articles.--Repli cant 21:06, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

ОК, but even if they are all copyvios as you say, they are in use on many Wikipedia pages and nobody had objection, so why you decided to delete images just from JNT pages? If these images are in use on many other pages, that's acceptably de facto, don't you think so? --Repli cant 16:35, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image Copyrights for KingPenguin

Several of my older contributions do need the sources added to them, which I unfortunately will not be able to do due to a vacation I will be on for two weeks. I will point out that at least the portraits did not come from news or club sites but rather a third site, which I believe is digilander.it . My images will probably mostly be deleted and I may be unable to edit by the time I get back, but please have some mercy for I will not be able to access the internet for two weeks or more. KingPenguin 13:46, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Referee Graham Poll.jpg

What exactly was your objection to the fair use rationale I put on the image? How is this not the organisation using the photo for promotional purposes, it is a benefits of membership page, ie, direct recruitment. Ansell 04:59, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hi

The actual newspaper "the Guardian" as sold in newspaper form is completely different to a discussion on the internet, which this is. It is like the ABC TV in the United States putting up some topic for discussion on the internet which they do. It is quite another matter for the ABC to mention this on their main News Bulletin. These internet discussions are pretty informal. It is a way for people to let their guard down a bit, and have a bit of fun.

The language I used for "mind games" is a bit strong, I must admit. The Guardian itself is a reasonably serious newspaper. Reuters is a news service, which often sources its news from other newspapers, even the Guardian. It can make mistakes like anyone else. I also don't think there is anything special about the British mainstream press. It is no better/worse than other nations. The British tabloids - now that's another story...

[edit] Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/15th century in United States history

Hey -- I closed this. I just wanted to point out though, that you could have just done the move yourself without bothing with a debate, since 15th century in North American history doesn't already exist. If it did, though, a debate is appropriate, but more appropriate on Wikipedia:Requested moves than WP:AFD since you aren't seeking deletion, just renaming. Mangojuicetalk 16:55, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tagging untagged images

A quick reminder: When tagging images for speedy deletion with {{nsd}}, {{nld}} or similar, please remember to remove the {{untagged}} template from the image. It helps ensure an accurate record of how many images we've tagged. :) Kimchi.sg 13:22, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Possibly unfree Image:Granville Street Map.jpg

You have nominated this image for deletion and it got deleted even though I tried to change the copyright restrictions/origins for the image. Please tell me what caused the image's final deletion and why I cannot post illustrative modified screenshots of Google Maps if I claim the source? Google Maps itself allows its maps to be reproduced if the source and copyright statement is retained. I can't find any information on this image now. Please get back to me about this. Thanks.

P.S. I am currently living in Japan and for now have no access to the Internet at home, so there may be some delay in correspondence from me.

[edit] Image:Wiki top 10 built-50%.jpg

Hello, Ytny. I see you have added {{wronglicense}} to Image:Wiki top 10 built-50%.jpg, saying it is not a screenshot of a Web page. I happen to have this image on my watchlist, and I seem to recall that exactly the same debate about this image happened less than a month ago (see [4]). I don't have a strong opinion on this image, but it did survive a dispute once. —Bkell (talk) 06:48, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I understand it survived a PUI and I don't care if the image actually survives or not either, but the license is still incorrect. A {{web-screenshot}} has to be a screenshot of a web page, and it can't be a screenshot cropped down to show a single image and not the whole page. I don't know what the correct license would be, unless someone can come up with a faire use rationale, but I've replaced the image on the SkyspraperPage article with an image of the site's logo, which I believe is more appropriate for the article than a watermarked image taken from the site. Thanks. Ytny 07:01, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
Right. I've cleaned out Category:Screenshots of web pages once myself. But I thought the result of the PUI debate was that this was to be considered a screenshot of a Web page, because it was illustrating an article about the page itself (and perhaps this particular feature of the page). Somewhere along the line I even got the impression that this was a screenshot of a Flash animation on the site, although that could just be my neurons firing badly. —Bkell (talk) 07:05, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
So I read Image talk:Wiki top 10 built-50%.jpg and I have to say, I'm still a bit confused. I'm looking around and seeing how that image could be generated and this was as close as it got. I don't think it's a very good representation of SkyscraperPage (though a similar image might be good for the "diagrams" section) and it seems odd that a jscript-generated page would have a watermark over it. Ytny 07:42, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
Well, to be frank, I'm not actually interested enough in this image to do as much research as you've done, so you know the situation better than I do. ;-) My original comment was mostly a suggestion that if questioning the {{web-screenshot}} tag didn't work the first time, it's unlikely to work now. Since you've replaced this image with a logo, and reworked the page, now this particular image is orphaned, so maybe you could just tag it with {{subst:orfud}}? —Bkell (talk) 07:47, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] KingPenguin Again

Okay, start me from square one, is there any feasible way to get a football picture of a single player that works with copyright? Promotional seems fine to me, they get sourced, there's no way the personal site would mind, and the license says it can be used in the absence of other copyright-verifiable images. These pictures seem to come from www.asromacalcio.it, I was not aware, I thought last time I checked these could not be found elsewhere. If asromacalcio.it uses them to illustrate their players, promoting their product, could that be used under that source verifiably under promotional, or do I need to do something completely different? Is there any other way than magazine covers, personally taken photos, or permission from someone who took the photo? Thank you for your help. -KingPenguin 11:28, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tim Duncan Magazine Cover

I'm not entirely sold on the idea that the magazine cover is NOT Fair Use on the Tim Duncan article. The issue and the cover were created to feature Tim Duncan himself, and not Sports Illustrated as an organization. That is how the magazine sells copies on the news stand. The words "Substance over Style" were meant to describe Duncan. It also shows how the media tends to view Duncan as a player, which in my mind plays a big part in telling the story of Tim Duncan, because he never gets the press and the publicity of Shaq, Kobe, or LeBron, yet he is a proven winner (3 titles and counting). That, in my mind, is reason enough to keep the magazine cover in the article. Dknights411 13:25, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Ok, I'll try to create a constructive critisism version later using Tim's 2003 Sportsman of the Year cover w/ David Robinson. That should work, right?Dknights411 18:56, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My photos

Why are they being considered for deletion? It is clearly stated that I took the photos. I am a photographer for Everton Football Club and own the copyrights. I would appreciate it if they were no longer being considered for deletion. Teamhero 15:38, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My photos again

Well I've updated the photos again. And thank you for pointing out where the photos can be found elsewhere. I am absolutely furious about this flagrant copyright violation and will be contacting my lawyers. Teamhero 09:05, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] http://www.soccer-europe.com

The fact that http://www.soccer-europe.com must be credited for an image does not mean that a link to http://www.soccer-europe.com must be present every time the image is used. The link put in the image page is sufficient.--Kwame Nkrumah 00:21, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

In that case I would suggest to remove those images. It is better not to have them than to put this link in every page they are used in. Afterall, it is not so important to have pictures of the footballers.--Kwame Nkrumah 00:28, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
I plan to remove the images originating in this website, but I would do this with a bit of consensus, first of all, and of collaboration, secondary. Do you know where can I find both?--Kwame Nkrumah 00:36, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Hello. What other copywright information would I need to include? Perhaps you could help me or direct me to a page that can help. Regards. Mark272 19:41, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lower East Side "Commentary"

Hi - thanks for doing all the work you are doing. But can you support your contention that this is "Commentary" and not factual:

The names of places in New York City change, either due to the influence of land developers, the City government, or because a name no longer suits a neighborhood's character. A name never changes, though, unless the residents of the city collectively adopt it, which usually takes years and is an informal process whereby most people begin to refer to an area by its new name. A recent new name that took root is DUMBO in Brooklyn, whereas referring to Hell's Kitchen as "Clinton" has largely been eschewed. Similarly, New York residents rarely refer to Sixth Avenue as "Avenue of the Americas". A new neighborhood name may be controversial, as may be its perceived boundaries.

[edit] Mihajlovic photo

You keep putting in the "no source" tag despite me providng the source. I took a screen shot myself using my TV Tuner PCI Capture Card and resized the resulting photo. How exactly do you fail to see a source there.User:Zvonko 01:24, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Gilberto Silva Article

Thanks for your help on moving about the images on Gilberto Silva and deleting the image which violates copyright.

I have a small question regarding the link you removed (Gilberto Silva Website - Unofficial Fan Site) - I was just wondering how it isn't notable. It's true I'm the creator of the site, and if this type of link is somehow against the guidelines I'll totally understand - and I don't want to be accused of using Wikipedia to promote my site. However, I do strongly believe that the site is very useful to anybody wanting information on Gilberto Silva. Please let me know your thoughts on whether you'd considering re-adding the link after some consideration.

Thanks again, and all the best. -GilbertoSilvaFan 12:04, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Template talk:Promotional

I read now your contribution on Template talk:Promotional, about what is not covered by that license. As I witness a lot of images uploaded with this template that do not fall under the license terms, I think it is urgent to add a text clearly excluding those images. Can you do something?--BaldClarke 01:05, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
