Welcome to my talk page -- I'll try to provide some resolution status to the issues here.

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Thedavenports.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-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 this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Ricky81682 (talk) 05:09, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Resolved I've now received GFDL and CC Attribution ShareAlike 3.0 license permission from the photographer. The image has been uploaded as Davenports386med.jpg W0129 (talk) 03:13, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

I've now also received an OTRS tag for this image and it's been uploaded to the Wikimedia Commons. W0129 (talk) 16:41, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Image Question - Wikipedia vs. Commons

Both the Wikipedia image (which I assume will be deleted soon) and the Commons version have the same filename. Once the Wikipedia version is deleted, will the article that links to the image automatically find the image in the Commons? W0129 (talk) 16:27, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Quite simply, yes. That is the reason nobody is concerned about the deletion here. The admin doing the deletion here should verify that (and make sure all the Commons requirements are met). However, if there is a problem, don't hesitate to ask me. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 19:01, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

The Sheltering Sky (film)

Hey, thanks for expanding it into a respectable article. It was a pretty well received film for having so little about it before. gren グレン 01:33, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment.
