Cædmon

Hey, did you write this? If so, it's very good! I have commented on Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Cædmon as there are a few things I believe need to be sorted out, however. But I'd like to thank you for writing the article — I now know something I never knew before! - Ta bu shi da yu 13:59, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Date of death 680

Hi - wondering if you had any thoughts on the recently added date of Caedmon's death of 680 - is this accurate and well established? -- Stbalbach 14:54, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Lead image on Cædmon article

Hello -- I just noticed that an admin who has never before edited the Caedmon page has removed the photograph of the stone carving of Caedmon that Peter Green, the photographer, had personally authorized us to use in this article. WP guidelines for Biographies and Featured Articles strongly urge that the lead photograph should be a depiction of the individual who is the subject of the article. Since it is unlikely that we will find another depiction of Caedmon of comparable quality, I would favor restoring Mr. Green's image, but since you are the lead writer of this article, I wanted to present this matter to you so that you can make the final decision. -- Thanking you in advance, Polaris999 00:29, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Update

Today I received the following messages and had to act fast to restore the images in question to the Caedmon article to prevent their being deleted from Wikipedia by a bot. I left a comment to the person who had removed them from the Caedmon article asking him to discuss any plans for deleting them again on the article's Talk page. I hope that you are in agreement with this solution. -- Polaris999 14:51, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Caedmon Closeup by Peter Green.jpg Thanks for uploading Image:Caedmon Closeup by Peter Green.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free 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 for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media). 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 non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 03:58, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

A few weeks ago the "image bot" struck again and deleted both the closeup of the carving of Caedmon and the photograph of the cross on which it appears. After reading your comment in the History of the Caedmon article, I decided that I would upload both of these images again. The problem seems to be that the AI level of the bot is very low and it can't process the permission that has been granted by the photographer, Peter Green, for use of these two images in the Caedmon article here on Wikipedia. Anyway, the images are at least temporarily restored to the article, and we shall soon see whether the bot will attack again ... -- Polaris999 17:03, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

I personally have run out of patience to deal with this issue and am therefore abandoning the effort to defend the inclusion of these photographs in the Caedmon article. If anyone else wishes to take up the cause of keeping them in the article, I wish them the best of luck in their endeavors. -- Polaris999 20:19, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Just a Note

Well, I find my efforts haven't been rewarded! I wanted to get in touch with you after hearing your CBC Radio interview so, as a lark, went to Caedmon rather than your university site ... but you've no contact info on your user page! That's no fun ... colour me disappointed. --BenTremblay (talk) 19:52, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
