Supplementary question on your RfA

Hello! I have asked a supplementary question on your RfA. I look forward to reading your answer! Regards, (aeropagitica) 23:52, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Award

The Original Barnstar
For your incredible devotion to improving the BBC articles, I, Sharkface217 hereby award you this barnstar. Sharkface217 02:51, 3 December 2006 (UTC)


Oh, and be sure to answer the extra questions on your RFA page. Sharkface217 02:52, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

WP:AMA

Hi Wikiwoohoo,

Thanks for your nice note on my talk page. I appreciate the time you took to write it. I wish you the best of luck coordinating the AMA. Best wishes, Firsfron of Ronchester 06:05, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Image:BBC Jane Hill.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:BBC Jane Hill.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. - crz crztalk 16:55, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Other images

The same applies to Image:BBC Robert Peston.jpg, Image:BBC Rob Bonnet.jpg, Image:BBC Louise Minchin.jpg, Image:BBC Matthew Amroliwala.jpg, Image:BBC Jamie Owen.jpg as to Jamie Owen. There may be others... All these fail the first fairuse criterion because the subjects are living and free images are obtainable. - crz crztalk 17:01, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

You misunderstood the policy. Where the subject is living, not incarcerated etc. and therefore reasonably available, fair use is not permitted by foundation policy. We may either ask the subject for a photo directly or stalk s/him and snap one. See here - crz crztalk 17:51, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
All unfree images, yes. You unfamiliarity with this major change in policy that took places over two months ago illustrates what I meant in my vote at your RfA. - crz crztalk 17:59, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
Believe me, I didn't like it either. Many of my contributions are bios and I lost thirty or so images of my uploading to this policy change. It's hard to believe you haven't seen these things happening all over articlespace! - crz crztalk 18:03, 3 December 2006 (UTC)


Userpage banner

If you don't mind my asking, what program did you use to create that banner and is it available for Mac? I'd like to create something similar for my userpage. Good luck with the RfA! ~ Mike (Talk) 00:07, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Your RfA

Hi Wikiwoohoo. I just wanted to give you a little encouragement regarding your RfA. I don't think you'll be successful this time around, but given a little more time and experience, a second try will be better received. (I don't think you were lying about your old username; really that whole accusation sounded weird to me.) Let me know if you have questions at all; I'm here to help. --Fang Aili talk 15:10, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

benon questions

Never mind. We've already done that. Cheers, :) Dlohcierekim 17:54, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Your RfA

Thanks for your note. No problem. Just seeking to clarify and understand. I tend to be a little too blunt sometimes. Cheers, :) Dlohcierekim 18:24, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Request for Adminship

Your request for adminship has now closed; it is my regretful duty to inform you that it did not achieve consensus. I must say, however, that it was one of the better discussed RFAs I have seen recently, and was a much more difficult one to close. Many good points were made on both sides, and I felt that some of the reasons set forth for opposition were insufficient; I came very close to the extremely rare action of publicly striking !votes. Unfortunately, when considered as a whole, there simply was not consensus for a promotion. I hope that you will keep up your good work, be encouraged by the positive feedback, shrug off those who sought to silence your positive contributions, and grow from the constructive criticism. I believe that if you try again in the future you will be successful. Best wishes, Essjay (Talk) 02:00, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

If I may butt in, "Hear, hear!" Cheers, :) Dlohcierekim 13:37, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, I felt bad when you got an oppose vote based on your username. What else would Essjay have struck though? Anyway, in three months you should do fine if you keep it up. Good luck and I'll see you around. - čřž čřžtalk 20:20, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Close election

I am sorry about your candidacy. However, I hope you continue your strong contributions to the encyclopedia. I was glad to see the marked improvement in the responses to your candidacy. I am only one voter and my opinion should be regarded as such. Have you ever looked at yourself here. That is why I gave my comments about only BBC articles. IMO it would be great if you had other contributions to make. However, it is likely that continued hard work of any kind will be appreciated. TonyTheTiger 23:41, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Your thanks

Dear Wikiwoohoo, Sorry for your RfA. I appreciate to see you again in a second. My support will be with you again.Regards.MustTC 20:07, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

I also want to say "You're welcome" - and add a note: you were one of the most, well, active participants I've seen in an RfA, and I suspect it didn't help you. Sometimes it's best to just let the process happen as it will, acknowledging that there will always be some negative votes and comments, and only jumping in to respond to questions or clear misunderstandings that others (give them a chance) fail to correct. The alternative - ongoing involvement - can be seen by some folks as bordering on obsessive-compulsive, and (perhaps subconsciously) they may think "omigod what happens if I get on the wrong side of this pit-bull when he has admin powers?" John Broughton | Talk 21:22, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
Apologies not needed for me - I didn't have any problem with it - just sayin'. You might want to ask a couple others their opinion, that's all. John Broughton | Talk 21:32, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

nice try

Well, it was a good effort. I hope you got something positive out of the RFA grinder. Having had a nomination be close but no consensus, I know how it can be. Hopefully it will point out to you areas you can improve and your next one will be stellar. Hell it's been like....8 months since my RFA I think, and I still don't feel 100% to re apply. Anyway good luck. ⇒ SWATJester On Belay! 20:43, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Oh, PS: You should try admin coaching if you haven't already. I did, and it's helped already. ⇒ SWATJester On Belay! 20:44, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Your RFA

Hope you aren't discouraged. As someone who initially opposed then changed to neutral I was tempted to change to support based on some of the oppose reasoning. The issue regarding your previous username seemed odd given that as others pointed out you could easily have said nothing and as they say ignorance is bliss. Being an admin can be hard work, leads to increased scrutiny and therefore increased criticism, there are good arguments (for the sake on the encyclopaedia and the individual) that good editors should concentrate on just that and ignore the admin stuff, though if you feel you can add more to wikipedia by being an admin good luck when you next run. --pgk 22:16, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Don't worry about the RfA. Your RfA was awfully close to being successful, and I have no doubts that your future RfA will be a complete success. =) Nishkid64 22:39, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

You're Welcome

I hope to run for RFA in a month or two, I hope I can get that many support votes. :-) Just H 02:01, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

From me as well. I'd have put you through, perhaps in a few months eh? Dfrg.msc 1 . 2 . Editor Review 04:42, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

IFD discussions

Hi, could you please refrain from removing "completed" nominations from IFD discussion pages? The reason being that if one were trying to figure out why an image was being deleted (from Special:Log for example) and came to the page looking for the discussion, one should be able to find it there. Thanks. howcheng {chat} 17:36, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Concordia Newsletter

NEWSLETTER

Concordia is currently trying to relaunch. I, and all the members of the ex-council, wish to welcome new members to the group. We are a group who aim to promote remaining civil, in an environment where messages can easily be interpretated wrongly.

Help out now!

  • Try and help people remain civil! Talk to them, and help them in any way possible. Do not be afraid to use the talk page.
  • Give people the Civility Barnstar.
  • Make and spread some Wikitokens so people know there are people to help if they want assistance.
  • Add banners or logos to your userpage to show your support.
  • Suggest some ideas! Add 'em to the talk page.

We are a community, so can only work though community contributions and support. It's the helping that counts.

Decision Making

The council expired one month ago, but due to the current position of the group the current council will remain until the position of the group can be assessed, and whether it would be sensible to keep Concordia going. For most decisions, however, it will be decided by all who choose to partake in discussions. I am trying to relaunch because of the vast amounts of new members we have received, demonstrating that the aims are supported.

If you wish to opt of of further talk-page communications, just let us know here.

Wikilogos

I thought you might be interested in my proposal for Wikipedia to use logo variations created by members of the wiki community to mark national and international awareness days, Remembrance Days, notable anniversaries, and observance days. Please comment on Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)#Logo Variations and on my talk page. Thanks! FrummerThanThou 08:29, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

That is a pretty good idea, and I have noticed that Google has started doing something kinda like that. Ninetywazup? 22:21, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Hello there!

Hello! I was wondering if you would be interested in joining a WikiProject known as WikiProject Abandoned Articles. This WikiProject is concerned with getting abandoned articles (eg:articles not visited in more than a long time which has not yet been decided upon) to be visited more often. Thanks!! Ninetywazup? 22:22, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Thank You!

Thank you for your input at my RFA, which successfully closed at 58/2/0. I will think about the 10 questions and answers I had, and I hope that I will use the tools constructively and for the benefit of Wikipedia. If you ever need any help, don't be afraid to drop me a line. I'm here to help afterall! ‎Template:Emot -Royalguard11(Talk·Desk·Review Me!) 00:11, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

AfD Nomination: BBC television idents

I've nominated the article BBC television idents for deletion under the Articles for deletion process. We appreciate your contributions, but in this particular case I do not feel that BBC television idents satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion. I have explained why in the nomination space (see What Wikipedia is not and Deletion policy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/ITV Idents and Presentation. Don't forget to add four tildes (~~~~) at the end of each of your comments to sign them. You are free to edit the content of BBC television idents during the discussion, but please do not remove the "Articles for Deletion" template (the box at the top). Doing so will not end the discussion. --tgheretford (talk) 22:08, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Image tagging for Image:Bbc1xmas2002.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Bbc1xmas2002.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.

Re:BBC Parliament image

Thanks for letting me know, and for your help with saving ITV Idents and Presentation, if you wouldn't mind, could you let me know what the largest OK size for these images is. Thanks again, Aidsoo 22:20, 19 December 2006 (UTC).

Thanks for the speedy response, I sorry for any inconveniences images I have uploaded have caused you. I'm now uploading images at much smaller sizes and will work on resizing the rest, merry christams, Aidsoo 15:22, 21 December 2006 (UTC).

Future RFA plans

Hey man,

Hoping you're having a good Christmast braek. Anyway, I recently reviewed your last RFA and realized that it was actually much closer than I had though, so much so that I am asking your permission now for future co-nomination. If you ever plan to run again in an RFA, I wish to co-nominate you for such a position. It's quite obvious that you would have made the cut were it not for some lousy questionable oppose votes (such as "I agree with all of the above" or "Not enough edits" when it was obvious you had more than enough). No rush, as I would never nominate myself more than 6 or so months after my previous RFA. Hope all goes well on the homefront, S h a r k f a c e 2 1 7 08:51, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thanks! I will stay on as a Deputy with out a prob. I may be a little busy starting next week (Taking an online college calss (My LAST before I get my degree) but I don't think it will be a prob. Æon Insanity Now!EA! 03:52, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:BBC One to Watch.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:BBC One to Watch.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. MECU≈talk 23:08, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

As much as I believe you and think you will eventually follow through, there's nothing to say that you actually will so I'd rather have the images tagged. You have a week to make the determination on which are useful which should really be plenty of time, I think. Sorry, I won't remove the tags, but if you do I won't revert your actions, unless I find the images orhapned again weeks down the road somehow. --MECU≈talk 17:31, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Awarded to Wikiwoohoo for all the tireless work on cleaning up articles on idents after their AfD nominations. --tgheretford (talk) 21:23, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Yep, it looks a lot better, the key is to write the articles in prose and only use fair use images if prose cannot bring a point across to the reader, which you have done. The only improvement needed now would be reliable sources for the articles, maybe something from Red Bee Media or Lambie-Nairn? --tgheretford (talk) 21:23, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

BBC One ident images - fair use

Many thanks for your message Orphaned fair use image (Image:BBC One Capoeira Wales.jpg). I originally re-uploaded both Image:BBC One Capoeira Wales.jpg and Image:BBC One Capoeira.jpg, previously used (if I recall correctly) in BBC television idents and BBC 'Rhythm & Movement' idents, when I noticed a spelling error made by the original uploader in the names of both images. I uploaded the images again with their current names and nominated the originals for deletion. This was purely to make finding these images using the search facility easier.

I fully support your work on the aforementioned articles (see my comment here) and understand why this image does not meet the specified criteria. If one or both of these images are no longer required or allowed as a result, I am happy for them to be removed. Thanks again. Silver Nemesis 16:11, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
