[edit] Misha Sedgwick

Well, you've obviously seen the discussion and the fact that someone contacted the foundation about the article. I wonder if putting directly on the talk page the fact that someone had complained about embarrassing information would be seen as further embarrassment? I'm inclined to keep it on my talk page unless the reversions continue. This is actually an interesting problem; my human impulse is to avoid embarassing people needlessly, but she made the mess herself, and if these facts were taken out, I doubt she would qualify for an article under the notability guidelines. But the guidelines for biographies of living people (WP:LIVING says things like "with great power comes great responsibility" and "first do no harm." I think I'll ask for community feedback at the Village Pump. Thatcher131 22:52, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi Thatcher, I think you have done a very professional job editing this article and the current page is probably as objective as possible. I understand there may be some ongoing sensitivity issues surrounding the material pertaining to Peter Braunstein/the "controversial identity claim" but everything mentioned is factual information. Regarding what should be included in the Talk page, imho, I think everything pertaining to the recent changes/sourcing including the OTRS complaint should be added so readers & editors have a detailed sense of why certain changes were made. I'm empathetic to the possiblity that someone close to Misha (or Misha herself) may have personal objections to the content of the article but I think if we started excising relevant factual information to personally appease the subjects of articles we'd be producing something closer to a press release than an objective factual resource. ~Just my 2 cents~ Btw, I'd like to get your professional opinion on a non-Misha related issue. Would you mind dropping me a line at gmail? Thanks! Santress 08:55, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use problem

I have tagged an image you uploaded, Image:AishwaryaRai Cannes2005.jpg, with the fair-use-dispute tag because I believe you mistakenly provided the wrong license or insufficient fair-use justifications for this use of this image. --Yamla 18:31, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Blanking

Please do not remove comments from this talk page. This is a record of other people's interaction with you. Thanks. --Yamla 18:33, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

You are free to archive the old information but you are not free to simply remove it. You do not own this discussion page. --Yamla 22:21, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
There is no rule that you have to archive material. The information is not removed. It remains in the "history" of the talk page. Please see Slimvirgin's comments on ArnieP's talk page for more detail. Please do not restore old/irrelevant material on my discussion page again without my permission. Santress 22:26, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
My sincere apologies. While it is true that you do not own this page, it most certainly is true that I have no more right to revert it than you do to blank it. The fact that you are only removing content that has been successfully dealt with shows that you are editing in good faith. I'm sorry, Santress, it won't happen again. --Yamla 22:30, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
Hi again, o.k., no problem. I have very little in my history so for now I've elected not to archive when I tidy up. Best, Santress 09:02, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
Please note that the issue of removing current warnings from a talk page is currently under discussion at Wikipedia:Village pump (policy). I forget if you were removing old comments or current comments but strongly suspect it was old comments. In any case, I have no dispute with you, you have clearly shown yourself to be acting in good faith and to be a productive editor. I bring this up simply to let you know about the discussion and to give you a chance to add your comments. --Yamla 17:07, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:ArmisteadMaupin Leibovitz pressphoto.jpg listed for deletion

An image or media file that you uploaded, Image:ArmisteadMaupin Leibovitz pressphoto.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please look there to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. ˉˉanetode╞┬╡ 05:56, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Brian Kinney picture

I understand why you might be offended that I replaced your picture of Gale Harold in his biography, and why you might prefer to have it here instead of the screenshot I used. I felt, simply, that the picture didn't do justice to Gale Harold's handsomeness, and that the Showtime publicity photo did. As for the picture I posted here, you're right, it was less clear than yours. It did, however, show Brian in an emotional state (illustrating the content of the "Brian Kinney" article) and wearing the Brian bracelet (also referred to in the article). It was the clearest view of the Brian bracelet in any picture I've archived, and with the bracelet on, it's more obvious that Gale is playing that character in the picture. In the future, perhaps we can compromise on a better resolution picture that is more characteristically Brian than the present one. --Ducdebrabant 10, July, 2006

[edit] Image tagging for Image:AishwaryaRai_BrideandPrejudice.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:AishwaryaRai_BrideandPrejudice.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Earlygarbo.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Earlygarbo.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 uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Jkelly 17:52, 22 September 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Image:EmilyBlunt MySummerofLove.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:EmilyBlunt MySummerofLove.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. 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}}
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

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. Yamla 14:35, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
