[edit] Image:A fan-made photograph.jpg (talk | delete)

Uploaded by October weather (notify | contribs). Along with Image:Michael&fan.jpg. The images are unencyclopedic and are repeatedly being inserted and removed from articles such as Halloween (film) (today's FA of the day) and Adobe Photoshop Elements — ShadowHalo 01:20, 16 January 2007 (UTC).

• Delete per nom. It is potentially non-free, depending on how faithful it is. In other words, would someone looking at this image think, "oh, yes, this is from the Halloween movie"? If so, then it is a copyright violation. Either way, it has no encyclopedic use. --BigDT 03:11, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Information - The file was uploaded in September 2005, and the only other copy of the file I could locate on the 'net [2] was uploaded in 2006. The website linked in the watermark of the offsite picture (http://www.duffzone.co.uk) has now been taken over by a domain squatter. Fosnez 13:00, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Keep but change licence to copyrighted - fair use. Fosnez 13:00, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

I would challenge the claim that it is "fair use" because it is not low resolution (it is 1024x768, wallpaper dimensions) - a lower resolution version would be more acceptable. QmunkE 13:01, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

High resolution is usually not an issue. Images can simply be shrunk, re-uploaded, and tagged with {{fair use reduced}}. I'll do that now. ShadowHalo 18:46, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Uploaded by Coinman62 (notify | contribs). Unencyclopedic — ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 11:56, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

• Delete, this is no image, nor true. Pieces of eight is what the dollar was based on. Joe I 04:31, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
• Retain. There is no published Wikipedia policy which states that only "picture" images may be utilized. There is also no method by which an identifying header of a column may be placed on a series of images. Contrary to the claims of some, it is simple to prove that the peso was legal tender in the United States until 1857. It was a forerunner of the U.S. Dollar in the sense that it had the same value as a U.S. Dollar until 1857, and its physical size was based upon the peso. Coinman62 20:11, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

• Comment While there's no policy that says you may not put images that are plain texts (or I can't find one), there is a way to use text to achieve what you're trying to do ([3]). See User:Chochopk/Template sandbox 1 for example. Now since there is an easily editable solution (so that other editors won't have to use an image editor), why not use it and remove the then obsolete image? --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 06:12, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

• Observation There is nothing inappropriate about the image. Chochopk is just just being difficult. If I am reading the entries correctly, he's the one who deleted it. I don't know why so many people want to be just plain difficult, for no real reason. Wikipedia should try to limit people who want to dominate every little thing. GoldenGloves17 14:52, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

• Comment (delete) I am the person who's requesting the deletion. It still requires a process of discussion before an admin actually deletes it or rejects the request (I am not an admin by the way). Isn't what we're doing here exactly the due process that is necessary? Nobody is trying to dominate anything. All I have been doing, is providing reasons. Perhaps I didn't communicate well enough. Let me reiterate my point.

• I agree that there's nothing wrong with the image itself. All I'm saying is that there is a better alternative – true text.
• Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion says that when there's a better image (perhaps higher resolution), the old one should be deleted. By the same token, when a text version does everything the image does, and is "better", the image should be deleted.

Now, why is the text version better.

• Editors can edit them more easily
• When you enlarge/shrink the font with your browsers, the images don't enlarge/shrink together (unless you're using IE7)
• Visually impaired users can use software to read aloud the text

So now I have provided my reasons. Instead of attacking my personal integrity, can people actually discuss why Image:Pesos.jpg should or should not be deleted. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 23:35, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Keep. The size of this dialogue got my attention, so I have to "put my two pesos in." (In fact, this reminds me of my staff meetings when my editors argue over layout.) The deletions page is full of images that are offensive (pornographic) or otherwise inappropriate (personal or irrelevant), and there is nothing offensive or inappropriate about the peso.jpg image. ChochoPK admits that the image did not violate any Wikipedia rules, and even says, "I agree that there's nothing wrong with the image itself." I think what Coinman62 is saying is that too many Wikipedians are making up rules as they go, and it is all to easy to delete someone else's contribution based upon personal taste. In the publishing business, we certainly encourage creativity. If a "text header" is what you prefer, ChochoPK (and perhaps it is better), then I wonder why you did not simply replace peso.jpg with a similar text header. (That certainly would have been less trouble than having to go through all of this, don't you agree?) Would that have satisfied you, Coinman62? Instead, this colloquy leads me to believe that pride is in the way on both sides. ChochoPK, you seem obsessed with wanting it deleted, and Coinman62, you seem intent on keeping it. On another issue, "attacking one's personal integrity" usually refers to an accusation of dishonesty. Strange comment, ChochoPK. I see some disagreement but absolutely no disrespect. BookPublisher88 04:34, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

Comment I have reproduced the image with plain text. I hope this has proved that I'm not requesting the image for deletion because I don't like it, instead, because there is a better alternative - true text. Also User:Coinman62, User:GoldenGloves17, and User:BookPublisher88 have been questioned for being sock puppet and puppeteer. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 15:06, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia can surely tell that I have no association with the other users. This is another cheap shot by Chochopk. I deleted the "puppet" vandalism on my user page, and if Wikipedia doesn't like it, then I'll leave -- see comment below.Coinman62 06:10, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Retain: Here is what the Wikipedia policy says, "Unencyclopedic - The image doesn't seem likely to be useful in this encyclopedia." I don't think ChochoPK has said that the image was not "useful." BookPublisher88 really is correct that ChochoPK is obsessive. At this point, (1) she has deleted the image; (2) she typed up all of this silliness when she was caught vandalizing the page; (3) she has now created the text header on the peso page to replace the image (after being confronted with "why you did not simply replace peso.jpg with a similar text header") (Is this an admission that she was wrong? Or does she hope to convince Wikipedia of her opinion), and (4) she has placed a "sock puppet" notice on my page (as well as others who disagree with her). My advice to other users is don't disagree with ChochoP unless you want to be reported as a sock puppet. Coinman62 17:11, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

Question, what is this image to be used for? Just as a gallery header, as it is now? If so, it would seem that it would be more encyclopedic if it was written in verse. For one, you could make a complete sentence, maybe explain how or why the dollar came from it. Make a whole paragraph to introduce the gallery. So, with an easier, more complete, more explainable, more encyclopedic answer(plain text), the image would become unencyclopedic. Joe I 18:13, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

I will leave Wikipedia if Wikipedia deletes this image. Besides the above comments, I've explained my reasons on my user discussion page, but basically, contributors like me get nothing at all out of scanning and uploading images of ancient coins, except a feeling of philanthropy and the hope that a student or child might somehow benefit. I cannot imagine why any qualified folks will want to take the time and effort only to watch their time-soaked efforts vanish. If Wikipedia thinks that Chochopk is so wonderful, then she can control everything, and I will leave. At one time, I had planned to scan and upload about 300 coin images of the rulers of Europe. Over the past few months, amateur editors have vandalized and deleted my images, and I have had them change captions to things that were totally wrong. I have better things to do than watch my efforts vandalized and deleted. I can live without the abuse. I certainly will not permit Chochopk to control anything else that I do. And whether you want to admit it or not, Chochopk, that's exactly what this has been -- a highly controlling effort on your part. I alone am in charge of my time, and it's just that simple. I'm not wasting anymore time with this, so I will not be submitting anything else on this page. So Chochopk, the page is all yours and you can do all of the fussing you want. And it might be the last of anymore uploads from me -- ever. Coinman62 06:10, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

To Coinman62: I can see that you've uploaded a lot of really high quality images over the last few months. It would be a real shame if you left Wikipedia over this small matter. Please bear in mind that we're all trying to make Wikipedia a better place. I can see why you thought an image was necessary for this header, but it works just as well in plain text, with added advantages such as lower bandwidth (text takes up just one byte per character, so about a thousand times less data needs to be sent from the server) and greater useability (sight-impaired visitors can have plain text read out by their browsers, but this doesn't work for text in images). In any case, JPEG is an unsuitable format for images like this. Even if you have your way and it remains here, sooner or later someone is going to flag it with a {{BadJPEG}} template. I just hope I can persuade you to let go of this issue and keep up with the good work you've been doing so far. -- Sakurambo 桜ん坊 11:07, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Delete - It's unused by any pages now, and as Sakurambo said, plain text has replaced it and works better than an image. - JNighthawk 12:50, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. Utterly, totally, and entirely useless, Coinman's Reichstag scaling notwithstanding. Why on earth would we need an image that was just text? --tjstrf talk 13:41, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

You don't quite understand the history of this issue. Of course, it's easy to think my image should be deleted NOW. To be perfectly clear, what has me offended is that Chochopk first deleted my image without creating the text header that now appears on the peso page (or without making any other effort to identify the column of images on the page). Then AFTER I accused her of vandalism and AFTER Bookpublisher asked why she did not create the text header, Chopchok went back to the peso page and created a text header. She then returned to this discussion and announced to everybody that she had created the text header just to prove that she was not trying to dominate the way the page looked. And then to top it all off, she reported everybody who disagreed with her (me, Bookpublisher, and Goldengloves) as puppets. So the bottom line is, I have just had it. I knew this was a thankless job when I began uploaded coin images. But I'm tired of vanishing images and vandalized pages. So if Wikipedia deletes the image, in my mind, they will be rewarding the kind of conduct displayed by Chochopk. That's why I said that if Wikipedia deletes the image, I am leaving. I read another Wikipedia policy (on the dispute resolution page) that said editors should not just simply delete, but they should make the necessary changes to avoid the sort of issue we are discussing right now. Wikipedia can cut off its nose despite its face if it wants to. Enough said, this is my absolute final visit to this discussion. Coinman62 15:58, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Comment - Uhh, well, I'm voting on the image in its current state. In its current state, it's not linked to by any pages. In it's current state, it's been replaced by text. So in it's current state, it should be deleted. This isn't personal, here, Coinman, but pragmatic. - JNighthawk 17:31, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Comment Coinman, I do not wish to see you leave. That was never my intention at any time. The sequence of event you describe above was correct. I did add back the text version caption after BookPublisher88 reminded me. At least I am open enough to admit the things that I could have done differently, that is, to add the text version earlier. I don't wish to dominate or control anything. The image still exists as I type here, and it requires a consensus of the community to make a decision. I alone cannot delete the image. I certainly wasn't vandalizing. My point was consistent since the beginning – true text is a better alternative. That is the root cause of everything that has happened. Again, Coinman has made tremendous contribution on coin images. Please do not leave because of this one incident on one image. We're all just trying to make Wikipedia better. As a token of good faith, what about this: I will retract the sock puppet report, and you let the text replace the image? --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 18:24, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Note for the coinman: Sounds like you are not checking is page, so I left a message for you on your discussion page. Safeharbor8 02:30, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Response to ChoChoPK: I said I would not visit this discussion page again, but on my TalkPage (and also here), ChoChoPK made an offer to reconcile, so I once again have returned. ChoChoPK, I appreciate that you appear to acknowledge that it would have been better protocol if you had created the text header to replace the image (rather than creating the text as an afterthought). From my perspective, I thought things appeared that you just did not like the image or the header, deleted it, and left the page looking naked with no explanation at all. (Compare [[4]] with [[5]]. Not all of us are as Wikipedia savvy as others, and I did not even know how to create the text box. Stated differently, I don't mind an edit if it is an improvement, but I cannot see how the outright deletion was an improvement. That's why I thought you appeared controlling -- like saying, "I don't like that, so out it goes." The text header you created is better -- I realize that -- but you seem to understand that I was offended because you provided nothing as a substitute. Your offer to retract the sock puppet report shows some effort on your part, but it seems meaningless to me because Wikipedia will determine that this is a false accusation. I did not realize that you also reported Safeharbor8, but he has responded to the report. [[6]]. (Sorry safeharbor that you got dragged into this.) I will agree to delete the image if you will make it clear that you are assuring everyone here that you will be more careful about deleting other contributors' images (especially text images) without providing some suitable substitution. (I think you inasmuch have said that, but it was not so clear.) I want the Wikipedia administrators to know that I will not be returning to Wikipedia if you refuse to make that clear. As I have said (above), I have grown quite weary of unknowledgeable editors changing time-soaked efforts, and while this might be a reality of Wikipedia, I alone am in charge of my time, and I can stop uploads if there is abuse. At the same time, everyone makes mistakes in judgment, and I can forgive a transgression if there is some form of apology. Enough time spent here. I will return here to see only to see if you respond. Coinman62 13:46, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
