VandalProof

Semi-mistake, I think: reverting this edit. The edit was made in good faith; see User talk:84.9.36.146. Anyway, I took care of User:84.9.36.146. I'm just letting you know that you clicked a bit too fast this time. Λυδαcιτγ 13:18, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

Are you using Firefox with Google Toolbar?

Hello. You recently reverted vandalism to the Chelsea F.C. article. In the proccess of your revert, you also removed a lot of text at the end of the article. There is a known issue with Firefox users with the Google Toolbar extension. If you use Firefox to edit Wikipedia, and have the Google Toolbar installed, please be careful when editing long articles. You may wish to edit shorter articles, or use another browser, like Opera to edit Wikipedia. --J.L.W.S. The Special One 12:19, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Walter Winchell "Vandalism"

You seem very eager to cite "vandal." My edit to Walter Winchell--that he was confronted by Dutch Schultz in the cotton club in regards to Winchell's use of casual language--is factual. I EVEN PROVIDED A CITE!209.169.114.213 05:53, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Categorising

Hi, when added a category to an article, please remember to remove the uncat tag or it stays on the list of uncategorised articles. I know its easily forgotten. Thanks. Mallanox 17:14, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your comment! Obviously you used some sort of script, because my image, Image:Habboraid11sep.PNG, actually does have a tag and copyright information! Only someone with a name as egoistical as "Phoenix Hacker" could possibly pass over something so blatantly clear as that. Of course, you can't actually put effort into Wikipedia! Because contributing is all about running automated scripts that you made in your parent's basement while eating stale Cheetos. Angrygoatface 14:48, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

  • Please refrain from making personal attacks. The mistake was a human error. I do not consider myself a hacker. The user name is one I have used often that combined two other user names. The user name I used on a Matrix forum was Mr. Hacker Dude. I also used Phoenix in games just because I liked it. In websites after that, I combined the two into Phoenix Hacker. There's your history lesson for the day. --Phoenix Hacker 23:01, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Image:Vonnegut.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Vonnegut.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}}, 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 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 ☠ 03:08, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Eva Green Picture

You said: "Why do you insist on taking every picture down? Using fair use picture in wikipedia articles is pretty commonly accepted if no free image can be found. Why not use the picture on Vesper Lynd? You haven't taken that down. Nor have you taken down any images from the Casino Royale article. I also have to say I object to your warning about posting images. The wording is very negative and will likely scare people away from contributing any free pictures."

In fact, this is not the case. Fair-use images may not be used to depict living people, it is a direct violation of Wikipedia policy. However, the image on Vesper Lynd is not being used to depict a living person, it is being used to depict a fictional character and the image page contains a detailed fair-use rationale justifying its use. It is, therefore, acceptable there. The warning on the article about Eva Green is to prevent people who, like you, mistakenly believe the image would be appropriate there, from adding an inappropriate image. This is happening quite frequently and so the wording needed to be strengthened. The previous standard warning was being blatantly ignored. I fail to see how a warning that specifically states, "Only freely-licensed images are permitted here" would stop someone from adding a freely-licensed image, however. What do you base this on? --Yamla 15:09, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
Perhaps I'm blind. I can't find any mention of living people on WP:FUC. Are you referring to some other policy? Also, I took no issue to the warning, but the line "the image you are about to add is almost certainly in violation of Wikipedia policies and may result in you being blocked." is a bit negative and I could see it driving people off. --Phoenix Hacker 20:02, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Your edit to Emma Watson

I've fixed it, the bot can't read edit summaries :o -- Tawker 09:24, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

images

Hi, I noticed that you commented to AntiVandalBot: Fair use images are not allowed to be used to identify living people. Can you cite a source for this? Thanks - Tempshill 23:48, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Gladly. Right here. Personally I'm not sure if I agree with the policy but the general consensus seems to be that pictures of living people must be free use. If I didn't change it, someone else surely would have. --Phoenix Hacker 05:28, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Are you just that you just removed a Wikimedia commons file with proof listed on the image page? RadioKirk (u|t|c) 05:36, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

  • Yes, I noticed that afterwards. Entirely my fault. --Phoenix Hacker 05:37, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
'sokay, I almost did the same thing but thought better of it and looked it up ;) RadioKirk (u|t|c) 06:03, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
