[edit] Image Tagging Image:Kinky3.thumb.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Kinky3.thumb.jpg. The image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then 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 images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, 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 unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, contact Carnildo.

[edit] Texas Students Against the Death Penalty

• I was considering nominating this group for AfD, but found it to be a notable group based on the media coverage from their web page (some sources more notable then others). To avoid a possible future AfD nomination, this article needs some cleaning up and wikifying. Mine is atleast the second brush with a deletion nomination consideration. --Gay Cdn 22:13, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

I reverted your deletion of comments at Talk:Hooman Hedayati. Given your username, are you the subject of the article? I'm going to merge it to "Texas Students..." per consensus at AfD that it should be merged somewhere, if not to that specific location.--Kchase02 T 09:03, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rodney Reed

Thanks for your edit to the article.

I noticed on your web site for Mr. Reed (the "About" page) copied the Wikipedia article. I'm flattered that you liked what I and others wrote, but I'd also like to remind you that attributing the source of the material would be the nice thing to do. I doubt that Wikipedia would ever pursue the copyright infringement, but they do have a policy on copying Wikipedia material.

Hey thanks for the message. Since there is 5 links to wikipedia in the page I thought there is no point to mention that the article is from Wikipedia. However I will add it. Yea the one that you made was better than other profiles that I found in google. My friend is going to review it and edit or change something in there. I will update the wikipedia one later on. Let me know if you are interested to help me on the website for Rodney or other death row inmates. Hooman

This is the first time I'm using user talk thing. SO I'm not sure if I'm in the right place

Yup, right place. :) (The usual thing is to reply where the message was posted so I also responded on my talk page, but I also CCed here.) Incidentally, you can sign your name with with tildes, ~~~, or your name with the date and time with four tildes, ~~~~.

Huh. I hadn't noticed the links to the Wikipedia on freerodneyreed.org. That's cool. But I think it'd be appropriate to have an explicit note that the page itself was borrowed from Wikipedia.

I added a wikilink to Texas Students Against the Death Penalty to the article on Mr. Reed.

I was interested in seeing the trial transcripts and crime scene photographs and other evidence entered at trial along with evidence that Mr. Reed's defense have accumulated afterword. I'd be willing to scan anything and everything and post it on the web; I have access to a vast amount of storage.

Cheers. Lunch 15:19, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

BTW, I believe it's the Texas Defender Service that's handling Mr. Reed's appeal. They will accept donations for his defense. That is, if you're looking to update the "Donations" link on freerodneyreed.org. Lunch 19:09, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

hey, can you email me the documents you have to hooman(att)texasabolition.org so i upload it to the website? persiancowboy 13:57, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

I don't have a law degree or anything like that, but I'm curious, do you know why Reed hasn't been prosecuted for a similar stranger-rape case that otherwise seems to be on hold? This particular woman survived the assault. She couldn't describe or identify her attacker, but the DNA evidence is Reed's. One would think that if the prosecutors went ahead with this case, then they could show Reed has a prior record of raping strangers. Is it just that with a death sentence already in hand, the state doesn't want to waste the money on a lesser crime? Rklawton 01:44, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
