[edit] Regarding Image Deletion

Hi, an image I put was deleted. I was new to wikipedia at that time, and its my fault for not putting up a source. I believe the image is fair use because its an album cover. So how do I put the image up again, I'll make sure to put the source this time. It is at http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Image:MFGGenesis.jpg&action=edit —Preceding unsigned comment added by Karan129 (talkcontribs) 19:31, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] How do you become an Administrator

Hi, I have been editing wiki for a while now and would love to become an administrator, how would this be possible, also how do you win those barnstars? —Preceding unsigned comment added by TheRadLabrador (talkcontribs) 12:09, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] DRV of Queer Wikipedians

I had a feeling you (as closer) hadn't been informed... - jc37 00:09, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

OK. Thanks, I'll go check it out. Odd, I think that I recall it already passing DRV. --After Midnight 0001 00:10, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Comprocon regarding Robert A Daly

Hi, you deleted a photograph that I had submitted for http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Robert_A._Daly&action=history

He/We own the image (professional promotional shot that was taken by a professional photographer, and his services paid for, where we have full rights to it)

So what's the best way to submit it so it doesn't get deleted again?

Thanks --Comprocon (talk) 19:39, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

I have been away. It appears that you have since resolved this matter. --After Midnight 0001 14:04, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Piping

  • Comment - Browsing categories, I came across the edits made by AMbot, which added the CfD template with an extra pipe. Anyone up to fixing that? I found a couple, but it seems the bot might be broken a bit. Tuvok[T@lk/Improve] 05:34, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
Actually, the bot did exactly as it should have. That pipe make the section headings work properly. In fact, you actually broke the ones that you tried to fix. --After Midnight 0001 14:05, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Upload question

[edit] Harpsichordophobes?

I can't really understand why http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Category:User_harpsichord-2 got the chop... but then, it's not the only red link on my multi-instrumentalist box...

FoolesTroupe (talk) 14:46, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Ok - more clever digging on my part - looks like many of that sort of thing got "ist"ed... but little bits of the templates all over the place didn't get fully 'upgraded' - Another Attack of the Rouge Admins, I suspect :-P

I can't imagine what you are asking for or why you are asking me in particular. If you need an admin, please try WP:AN. --After Midnight 0001 14:09, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] A Device

This is an actual award device presently used by the United States Air Force. I fail to see why you deleted it from Wikipedia. I restored it as it was not vandalism, but rather a real redirect from "A" Device which is also a common term used to describe it. -OberRanks (talk) 02:44, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] John Bailey (luthier) book cover pictures

It is my impression that book covers can appear on the author's bio page. Why did you remove them?

Hey, you should not delete people's images.. I uploaded a fair use screen shot of a rendered lipase protein crystal from solved coordinates. It had been on the lipase page- which I mostly composed- for 2 years or longer. There was no complaint against it and the coordinates for the protein structure are available in a PUBLIC DATABASE. Do not treat such as copyrighted or pirated. I think your actions were 1) draconian 2) bureaucratic and 3) simply rude and detrimental to the educational content of the page. Please contact uploaders via email before exercising your ruthless executive fiat against educational content.

[edit] Undeletion request

Could you undelete the following images that you deleted?

They are needed for their respective articles, E-470, Osceola Parkway, and Seminole County Expressway. The were speedied for lacking fair use rationale, I will take care of the rationale once undeleted. Thanks. --Holderca1 talk 14:11, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

I actually just requested this on DRV, and was going to post here to let you know. --NE2 06:46, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Orlando Area category discussion

Greetings. There has been an ongoing debate over on the Disney page (posted on the Hollywood Studios talk page) as to one person's sudden desire to change the category of "Orlando Attractions" to "Greater Orlando Attractions". I see that you were involved in April 2007 in a category name change yourself, and I was wondering if we needed to reopen that can of worms? (See Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2007_April_28#Category:Orlando_area_attractions for original convo). Thanks. SpikeJones (talk) 05:09, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Deletion Review for Category:User jer

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Category:User jer. Since you closed the deletion discussion for this article, speedy-deleted it, or were otherwise interested in the article, you might want to participate in the deletion review. The Jade Knight (talk) 12:55, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] reversion from december

I noticed you reverted three edits made by your bot in User:Tony619, is there any particular reason why? (I'm going through and cleaning up pages that are still in nonexistent categories, that's why i noticed it) —Random832 14:52, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Templates

I know you haven't edited these articles for a while, but can you please weigh in at Template:Miss_Universe? Kanabekobaton (talk · contribs) is edit warring the template and Miss USA and refuses to discuss the issue. I, quite frankly, think his edits are ridiculous but I've exhausted my 3 reverts.

[edit] John Dobson (astronomer) image deletion

Dear After Midnight,

I am a past president of the Sidewalk Astronomers and close friend of John Dobson. On Nov. 26, 2007 I asked a friend to place a terrific photo I took of John lecturing with his famous "S" equation on the blackboard.

It was "speedily" deleted I assume because there was no copyright?

Can you please help me put that back up there? The photo is mine and is freely available for all to use. Mr. Dobson is quite old and ill now and would love to have that particular photo up there when the media goes looking for his image.

Sincerely, Gerard Pardeilhan —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.176.166.174 (talk) 21:30, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Lingo

Recently I saw you have once edited something in the Lingo (US game show) page, so you might know the answer to the following problem:

The article does not define whether conjugations of verbs are legal. Since I am from the Netherlands and as such not able to watch US Lingo, I don't know myself whether those are legal or not. In the Dutch version, verb conjugations may be contestant guesses, but they are never correct answers. In contrast, plural forms of nouns can be correct answers in the Dutch version. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Martijn600 (talkcontribs) 23:58, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Atl57-1-.gif

I was wondering if you could restore this image. I would gladly post its source info and copyright tags. thanks. :) RingtailedFoxTalkContribs 17:10, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] My Userpage

Hi, my userpage has been subject to 16 instances of vandalism. Could you please protect it from edits other than me or something? Please don't ban Cool piplup2 for vandalizing since he is just fooling around. The only thing I am concerned about is that it took me a long time to revert those changes when I could be editing articles. Thanks!
