Rudd photo

I have taken and donated to Wikipedia an on-the-spot, public-domain photo of a historic event, and you delete it! Who do you think you are? Adam 03:32, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Hey clown shoes...why not look at any other politician wiki page and find that pics like this go below the article and to be placed in the section of the article relevant to the photo in question...advice (1..get a clue about editing Wikipedia...2...listen to what advice people give) - there endeth the lesson! --Mikecraig 03:35, 4 December 2006 (UTC)


Get a hobby

What is wrong with you mate? A petition is as relevant as any other rubbish thats on here. Dont you think if you where a fan of something you would want to know of any current petitions?

Get a hobby, and stop sitting at your desk quoting the rule book at people. It's particularly absurd coming from a person like you, with your dodgy history on this site. Youve got more complaints and warnings than anyone ive seen.

Build a bridge and get over it!

JackFoxInc 04:56, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Nice work on the grammar and spelling. Also if you were being helpful and contribute to Wikipedia, then you would not be link spamming to petition sites. --Mikecraig 05:45, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Greg Fleet

What do you have against including Greg Fleet's well publicised heroin addiction? There are numerous media interviews available online, as well as the DVD release of the ABCs "Smallest Room in the House" show, in which Fleet himself discusses his heroin addiction, and the problems arising from it.

It is a large part of his life, not least of all because of his very public discussion of it.

I have now included three links to these sources, and could provide many more if you need to be convinced. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.190.196.4 (talk) 09:14, 5 December 2006 (UTC).

As long as its cited then all is fine --Mikecraig 21:10, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Nothing else in the article was cited, yet you didn't delete any of that. Oh well, nice to beat you at your own officious game. Guess that's what comes from being in "Emergency Services & Law Enforcement" - what a joke.

Good to see that you dont have the balls to sign your own posts...oh by adding extra sections to the article in question to make it look better and have put the personal life stuff in it's own section...wow! I contributed and you cry like a loser... yawn! --Mikecraig 04:33, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Warnings and Threats

Stop sending me warnings and making threats about blocking me from editing. I haven't edited anything in the past two days and if you say you have proof I did, then you are wrong!!! You people need to get a fricking life! Remember, this isn't a perfect world, so don't get your undies in a bundle!

User: Butterflykisses723

Why did you keep making all those edits on Lukas Rossi which was not following WP policy eh? Also by blanking your talk page is a no-no also...you have been warned by an admin now so the ball is your court! --Mikecraig 04:24, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Overraction?

Studying the above case, it seems there may be a case of overreaction that escalated the level of conflict. Please don't use the bv tag unless the is very obvious blatant vandalism. In this case it would seem more like a difficult newcomer that was not aware of all wikirules, and may have provoked by the reactions for the wikicommunity. Don't forget wikilove ;) -- Egil 06:31, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

THEY were removing tags, blanking pages..etc - anyway they have been warned by an admin so I really dont care what this person does anymore as they have one more chance before getting the flick. --Mikecraig 21:31, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Nandos

Hi Mike, "See also" sections are good for similar Wikipedia articles, but the restaurant in question doesn't appear to have one. "External links" are good for web pages that provide a substantial resource beyond the WP page, directly concerning the subject of the article, i.e. an article about a company can link to its own company website, but not to those of competitors / similar enterprises operated by others. The thing to do is ensure your subject meets the WP:CORP criteria and create an article about it. Deizio talk 23:09, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Ah okay..thanks for letting me know that --Mikecraig 23:11, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
Hi again, I've used the style in the McDonalds article to present the related section in Oporto. As I mentioned above, it's only appropriate to reference similar outlets with an existing WP article. Deizio talk 12:54, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
Also, I appreciate you seem to know a lot about this chain but please ensure that information in the article is consistent with Wikipedia's aim of being an encyclopedia. The minutiae of the menu, drinks and sauces are not special, and without a reliable source to suggest otherwise then WP:V allows for such information to be removed. I've tried to meet you halfway with the listing of the major food items. I've also corrected the formatting, mainly by removing bolding from the menu items. The article is now pretty well in step with content and style policies, with the biggest remaining issue some unsourced facts. Nice one, Deizio talk 16:33, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
Looks like you're doing some good work. If every editor was willing to get stuck in and find references this would be a better place, nice one. Deizio talk 23:19, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the feedback...recently I have been trying to do good on WP..still learning some of the ropes! --Mikecraig 23:54, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
No problemo.. you don't need me to tell you that Ogalo will need a bit of work to get level with WP:CORP, I'll help where I can. Deizio talk 01:47, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Appreciate that..just putting logo and other stuff in now..--Mikecraig 01:48, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Image:Stevepublicitypic.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Stevepublicitypic.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 that provides substantially the same information. 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}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

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 ☠ 16:05, 13 December 2006 (UTC)


Fair use rationale for Image:Wedgetitle.jpg

Warning sign This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Wedgetitle.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. When you use a generic fair use tag such as {{fair use}} or {{fair use in|article name}}, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation 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. JDtalk 09:36, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Wedgetitle.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Wedgetitle.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. JDtalk 09:36, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Have gone and added additional info regarding image --Mikecraig 20:50, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
It still needs a detailed fair use rationale. J Di talk 20:54, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
HAVE added more info --Mikecraig 20:56, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
But not a fair use rationale. Please read this section of your talk page. J Di talk 22:19, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Tonyromalogo.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Tonyromalogo.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Gay Cdn (talk) (Contr.) 22:21, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

It can be deleted now, there is two logos on the Tony Roma's article and the logo in question has been replaced by a another version. --Mikecraig 23:02, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Peterfosterfiji.jpg

Thank you for uploading Image:Peterfosterfiji.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Longhair\talk 04:16, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
