Removal of photos

Latest comment: 14 years ago5 comments2 people in discussion

Thanks dear. As per the policy of wiki I have removed all the photos (and frames) from Baba Faqir Chand with suspected copyright violation, even from Hindi adaptation-cum-translation of the article with Hindi wikipedia. We can wait.Bhagat.bb (talk)--B3 00:39, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

I have contributed a photo http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Bhagat,_M.R1.jpg. It is part of a family photo. Can you guide me whether I can use it now for the article Bhagat Munshi Ram?--Bhagat.bb (talk)--B3 15:45, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
If you own the copyright to the photo, you can release it under that license. If you don't personally own the copyright, we need permission sent to OTRS stating that they give permission to license it under a free license. As for File:Bhagat Munshi Ram.jpg, if we get an email in OTRS saying we can use it, it'll be fine. If not, it will be deleted soon. Killiondude (talk) 06:42, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
I have utilized a photo in the article Bhagat Munshi Ram. I had given this photo and kept in the category of FAL images for more than four days now. Please see if is in order.--Bhagat.bb (talk)--B3 15:06, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
I'm not sure what you're asking. My statement above should cover what I have to say about the situation. If you have any questions about what I said, feel free to ask for clarification on whatever doesn't make sense. Killiondude (talk) 00:29, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

On what grounds was this deleted? None of the arguments for deletion fall under the criteria expected for deleted redirects. Please overturn this. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 01:29, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

Please also note that this diff appears to have accidentally messed up my rationale. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 01:35, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
Feel free to take that to DRV. My job is to gauge consensus, and there was clear consensus there that the redirect should be deleted. Thanks. Killiondude (talk) 06:33, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

some one tell me that you must take starting point 0 (zero) is that correct???

Which is better example 1 or example 2 ???


Thanks Worldenc (talk) 07:43, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

Laura Kirkpatrick

Latest comment: 14 years ago5 comments2 people in discussion

Hey Killiondude. I'm not sure if approaching you or going to Deletion Review is the right way to go here, but since Deletion Review (which I've never done before) suggests talking to the administrator first, I figured I'd approach you first. I made a page for Laura Kirkpatrick (contestant in America's Next Top Model) in Notepad, but when I went to copy-and-paste it in an actual page, I found the page had already been deleted. (I didn't participate in that RFD discussion because I didn't know about it until today, when it was too late.) I think the page should be made, and was hoping you could take a look at my proposed page and see what you think. (I made it as a subpage to my user page.) As I said, I didn't see the previously deleted page, but I imagine it was an unsourced stub made by fans of the show, which I know is common among reality TV show contestant pages. I think Kirkpatrick warrants an article because not only does my page meet Wikipedia standards (inline citations, verifiable sources, comprehensive coverage), but there are elements of Kirkpatrick that distinguish her from other contestants and I believe establish notability for her. Firstly, she is the runner-up of the series, which by itself is almost enough. But she has also won a poll hosted by the show which determined she was the fan favorite of the season, a fact I've cited in reliable, verifiable, secondary sources. Also, my proposed page already has information about her continued post-show modeling career, including her job offer from Bankable Productions. Also, Kirkpatrick's official blog is featured on the website of the Kentucky newspaper, The Advocate-Messenger, which makes her a writer with a state-wide and nation-wide platform. I think all these things, coupled with the pre- and post-show info I have on her, indicates she is worthy of her own article, and I think if I had been able to add this info to the page before it was deleted, I'd argue it wouldn't have been deleted at all. Is there any way we can reconsider blocking this page from future creation and to put my new article in its place? If you like, I'd be happy to seek comments from the people who voted for deletion and see if we can form a new consensus about my proposed article. Let me know. Thanks! — Hunter Kahn (c) 18:38, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

What you have is a lot more in-depth than anything that was there before. I think it is acceptable for you to move that into the mainspace. If somebody disagrees with it (which is a possibility), they can take it to AFD. Killiondude (talk) 19:21, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
  • But when I try, it says the page is currently protected and can be edited or moved only by administrators. Is there any way you can lift this so I can make the page? — Hunter Kahn (c) 19:39, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
Sorry, I didn't notice that. It shouldn't have been protected. In any case, I lifted it. Make sure you move your subpage over to that page, so your edits are attributed properly. Killiondude (talk) 19:49, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
  • Ok. Thanks very much for your help! — Hunter Kahn (c) 19:55, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

Authoritative Deletions

Latest comment: 14 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Hey dude,

You might want to read this article to see how your deletions are impacting the Wikipedia community:

There are many things wrong with Wikipedia, I've read many articles about it and experienced it first hand. I try my best to do what I think is good on Wikipedia. If you're referring to Bruce D.

Deletion of photo MISC27x.jpg

Latest comment: 14 years ago4 comments3 people in discussion

I do not understand why this photograph was deleted. This was a Christmas Card sent to me by my friend Allan Sandage 25 years ago. As such, it was a personal gift to me and I am the owner. I scanned the photograph and put it on the page. Please explain why the deletion was made.

Puzhok 03:36, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

Let me explain it this way, if somebody writes a book, and gives you a copy of the book, that doesn't mean that you own the copyright to that book. It's the same sort of situation. Killiondude (talk) 05:22, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

Writing a book and giving it to a friend is completely different than taking a photograph yourself and giving it to a friend as a gift. If a friend gives me his book with no copyright restrictions as a gift, I can copy it as I see fit, provided my intent is to not copy it in a fashion as to claim economic or intellectual value of the item. Of course, if the book is published it is copyrighted. But if the book has not been published and copyrighted, I can claim fair use of the whole material unless I willing know that my actions will interfere with the intended use of the book - like making money. I know this because I was curator for a scientific library and had to organize and copyright historical images in astronomy. If the card sent to me had the logo of Microsoft, clearly this would be a copyright violation. But if there was no restriction stated on the use of the book or the photo, I have the right to copy it and distribute it, provided that my intent is not to derive benefit from the distribution if no other restriction was placed on its use. Since the Christmas Card was sent to me as a gift, other friends, and professional colleges, I think it is in the public domain.

Or let me put it to you another way. If my friend Pablo Picasso creates a print and gives me a copy as a gift, provided that he did not copyright the image, I am free to copy the work of art as a photo and distribute it because it is mine. A Christmas card is legally a gift and I am the owner. If I scan a picture out of a book, I am not the owner and cannot distribute it. I shall appeal your restrictive opinion of the usage. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Puzhok (talk • contribs)

I've asked here for somebody to check this situation out. Killiondude (talk) 23:45, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

Puzhok, I think you have some misconceptions here. Copyright is fundamentally the right to control copies. Your friend (the same applies to your Picasso) gave you a copy of an image over which they hold the copyright. When you buy or acquire a copy that is all you have gained. You have not gained the right to make more copies as this right remains with the creator. Copyright is created when the work is created—neither your friend nor anyone else needs to specify that an image is copyrighted....it simply is from the moment of creation. The card is a gift and is yours. The right to make copies was not a gift and is not yours. Does this make the matter clearer ? - Peripitus (Talk) 02:35, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

Puzhok may want to read the relevant Wikipedia policy. -- Nat Gertler (talk) 02:49, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

Worldenc (talk) 05:25, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

I would really like to think you're telling the truth. I see what you're telling me with those examples. Do you own/run mapzones.org? Why is it that File:US53A033 Income.png and http://mapzones.org/images/united_states/washington/King_County_Washington_GDP.png (the mapzones.org equivalent) look almost exactly the same? There's just a few color changes, and some extra details on the Commons chart. If you are legitimately not a spam account, it would be best if you could explain things a little further. If English isn't your native language, I'm sure we could get somebody to translate if you have trouble explaining in English. To put it simply, if you are here to spam mapzones.org I don't wish to help you, but if you're here to here to help Wikipedia then I want to assist you in that. Killiondude (talk) 07:14, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

Please read my last comment at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Spam#mapzones.org

i create more better graph then mapzones.org (thanks for other editor who help me to do graph more and more better) (work negative for mapzones.org)
give this to wikipedia with licencing cc-by-sa-3.0, means everyone can use it even for commercial (work highly negative for mapzones.org)
in wikipedia link is no follow so its not help in search engine (for ranking etc..)(no plus or minus for mapzones.org)
i have added this graph for even tiny settlement which of them even not getting single (1) visitor per days and even article get 1000 hits per day its very little chance to transfer single (1) visitor to mapzones.org (work little positive for mapzones.org)
because of this chart wikipedia get more visitor then mapzones.org, because wikipedia has better search ranking then mapzones.org or any other websites. so user who looking for this chart or related information visit wikipedia not mapzones.org, if i am not add this chart in wikipedia they may be visit mapzones.org (work highly negative for mapzones.org)

so above all fector (and others) my conclusion is that mapzones.org got negative effect from my work.

i have tell many times that chart concept were taken from mapzones.org, the data is same because they and i used same source (census) so my chart and their chart are exactly the same (only color and other information were different), if i get concept from that sites and some data (like state data not found in same census page and all data found in single mapzones page and also help full to user's verification, i also verified that data wih census thats why i linked both sites)

for same county age chart http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:US53A033_Age.png were not available, so i added single source.

Once again thanks for help, now i decide not to work for wikipedia. Worldenc (talk) 07:56, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

Inland Empire Project merger discussion

Latest comment: 14 years ago3 comments2 people in discussion

I've responded over at the Inland Empire page, and tagged the WT:CAL side as moved and archived to keep it all in one spot. Assuming MissionInn.Jim or House1090 decides in favor of it I'll go ahead with the switch. Could you add Palm Springs, California and Riverside, California to your watchlist, since House1090 and PurpleBackpack89 are edit warring over the importance ratings on those pages, and use the admin tools if they're needed. Also I think this all started at Talk:Log Cabin Wilderness Camp, where I redirected the page, and disagreed with him when he reverted, and then after I responded at the talk page there, and at another discussion I had just commented at (Wikipedia talk:WikiProject California#Mount Whitney importance rating), and so I'm getting a bit of a talk page stalking/general hostility vibe from him at the moment. I know he means well and has the best intentions for California subjects in the long run (AGF, etc.), but if I start losing my cool, in this let me know if I need a clue adjustment. -Optigan13 (talk) 09:16, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up about the edit warring. I gave them both a warning. I've also watchlisted the pages. I checked out your assessment comment, and it seemed fair. :-) I don't believe it was harsh or condescending, if that's what you were asking. Killiondude (talk) 09:29, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for letting them know. I didn't feel comfortable doling out {{subst:uw-3rr}}'s when I have that minor hostility about the scouting page and the importance ratings themselves. Having to pull the yes I'm the sort of coordinator here was especially groan inducing, especially since I probably will have to follow this up with some sort of formal coordinator nominations and titles. Hey at least WP:CAL has some more involved members now. -Optigan13 (talk) 09:43, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

Deletion of Chelmsford Theatres Wikipedia Page

Latest comment: 14 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Hello Killiondude, I must confess to being a bit of a wikipedia novice, but it appears that our page has been deleted by you, is that correct? And if so could you please explain what exactly it has been deleted for? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.Chelmsford Theatres (talk) 10:39, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

Hello! Yes, I checked and I did delete the article you're referring to. It was deleted as a copyright violation, essentially a copy of another website on the internet (in this case, the website for the theater). This doesn't mean that an article cannot exist for the theater, just that we don't want a copyvio version or promotional content.
I would, however, like to bring up the fact that your username doesn't really meet our username policy. Most specifically, it is the name of a company/organization. We don't allow the use of those usernames because it could infer to our readers that Wikipedia endorses those companies, which we do not. It could also mean that more than one person is using the account, which is not allowed do to our attribution requirements. There's a simple solution, which is to request a rename of your account. I strongly encourage this, because unless you rename, you run the risk that your account will be blocked as violating our policy. As long as we can you're cooperating, you needn't be afraid. If you have any more questions, I would be happy to help you and answer them. Just let me know. :-) Killiondude (talk) 22:54, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

ANI question

Latest comment: 14 years ago6 comments2 people in discussion

Excuse side comment: I see that your actions were (mis)characterized as "edit warring." Have you witnessed that kind of rhetoric from that editor before at ANI? (Yes, I have been on the receiving end. Gathering information for possible follow up. No intention to link instances, but scanning for pattern. ANI is complex enough without perhaps misleading commenting.) Proofreader77 (talk) 01:01, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

I can't say that I've encountered that user before, but the accusation that I was edit warring was quite surprising to me. I've always tried very hard to stay away from anything that could characterize me as edit warring. I double checked my actions after I posted there, and I don't think it was anywhere near accurate to say that my actions should be called into question. And yes, there's lots of obfuscation that occurs on ANI, sadly. Killiondude (talk) 01:03, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
Many thanks. Re "obfuscation" at ANI - Since I have just posted a comment on Civility policy for Signpost, I guess I should avoid using the word "bullshit." Oops. lol Again thanks, and happy holidays. Proofreader77 (talk) 01:08, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

  • Note: The patterns of interaction of that editor are evident elsewhere. Continuing to observe (and analyze) what happened re this topic's case.

Is there a way to know whether it's likely to stay open or not? For example, my talk page got hit with vandalism from a bunch of proxies. They're all blocked, but none are indefinite. Enigmamsg 21:52, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

We usually only indef block IPs in very limited circumstances. Like if they are open proxies, known static IPs abused by trolls/vandals, etc. I looked at a few IPs from your talk page history and none looked like open proxies. I was just using this limited service. There are programs (free) that you can download and use for that kind of stuff, but I like simplified things. :-) Beware that the link I gave you only allows 3 checks per IP every 24 hours. It's probably 'cause they want you to pay or something. Killiondude (talk) 23:51, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
Most of the open proxies are blocked by the "ProcseeBot". However, there are still a few open but the reliability is less than 5%. South Bay (talk) 00:26, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

San Diego Task force discussion

I namechecked you in my latest (lengthy) response to the Wikipedia talk:WikiProject California#San Diego task force thread. Can you look it over make sure I'm not misrepresenting your opinion. -Optigan13 (talk) 09:41, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

I read it last night before I went to sleep and I don't remember being upset, so I guess it is fine. :-) I was over-exaggerating just a little when I said the project was "essentially dead", my mistake. I guess I was just trying to embellish my point that we shouldn't divide up such a small group of editors willing to work on similar articles. Thanks for the heads up that you dropped my name, though. Killiondude (talk) 18:45, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

File source problem with File:HMS Britannia (1904) sinking on 9 November 1918.jpg

Latest comment: 14 years ago3 comments2 people in discussion

I received your message about this jpg file. As the file data clearly says the image is from 1918 and, being a Royal Navy image over 70 years old (91 years old to be exact), is in the public domain per the license attached to the image (unless you really think that a 120-year-old somewhere will come forward and say "I took it in 1918 and own the copyright.") The image was scanned from a hard-copy book published in the 1980s, in which the source for it is not given, another clue that it is in the public domain as their is no information regarding a copyright holder. I could enter the publication information for thye book if you would like, but that still will provide no image copyright information because none is in the book and it seems irrelevant. I don't really understand why Wikipedia would delete an image under these circumstances. I am open to any ideas you might have for ascertaining the copyright holder of this 91-year-old unattributed image and requesting permission for its use, but that strikes me as a wild goose chase. Per the license tag, it also appears to be completely unnecessary. Can suspend deletion for the time being while you or someone else at Wikipedia advises me on this? Previous contacts I have had with Wikipedia photo montiors have resulted in them saying that the images are fine as they are and do not need to be deleted. Mdnavman (talk) 15:55, 11 December 2009 (UTC)mdnavman

I was just aiming for the source of the photo (the book title and perhaps author). Every file on Wikipedia has to have a source so others can verify it's existence and/or double check facts about it. In the cases where people create the files themselves, it's a bit trickier to verify that they did create it themselves, but luckily we don't have to delve into that discussion for this case. The book title and author should clear that up. I've scanned in photos from books before, doing that since the photographer is unclear and it's definitely old enough to be in the public domain. Killiondude (talk) 17:23, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

I've restored Category:Article Incubator candidate for articlespace.

Hello. Just a heads up to say I undeleted this file that you'd deleted earlier in case you're ever wondering why it has reappeared. Unfortunately Mondriaan's works painted in the Netherlands don't enter the public domain there until 1 January 2015, so Commons will delete them.

Claudia Christian

Latest comment: 14 years ago3 comments2 people in discussion

Gotta' tell ya' something about your edit to Claudia Christian because I think it's hilarious. I highly disagree with this edit and won't revert it: This is a 0RR. My objection is purely on aesthetic grounds, and therefor personal, not in the scope of "editorship". I think the other picture is better because it presents the subject in a more natural setting.

But man I've got my finger hovering over the "undo" button. I think you may have challenged me to figure out a justified way to get the other image in the article (one comes to mind, just not sure I have the motivation to research and cite it properly). —Aladdin Sane (talk) 18:59, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

I'm sorry if my edit offended you, that wasn't my intention. If you want to include the previously used image in the article, I wouldn't mind personally. However, I think it would be nice to have the professional image in the infobox. It makes the "first glance" of the article look more encyclopedic, in my opinion. Additionally, when I changed the image out, I was trying to keep in mind what Ms. Christian would probably like to see in her article. I know we don't have to cater to people's wants for their articles, but out of common courtesy I thought she would appreciate a picture at the top that captured her at a better angle, so to speak. But I do see your point about having a picture that looks more natural. I'm not too partial either way, but I would like to see the professional photo used in some part of the article. I helped the photographer get that image situated on Commons (I was asked for help on my talk page there). Killiondude (talk) 19:26, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
No, I'm just bobblehead laughing at myself for having an opinion. I caught the conversation on Commons and it all looks fine. Here's the thing though: In the Wikipedia article I can see a way to add a researched sentence or paragraph about her "fan con" appearances and add the other image in the appropriate section under that justification; however in the Commons page I worked on only one image is allowed per reference, largely due to page loading performance and the argument "redundant editor is being redundant" to add more than one image per reference (I had to carve out two "meta" sections in order to avoid doing this to the page). If Ms. Christian ever does express a preference for one image or the other I would consider it highly relevant to that page. —Aladdin Sane (talk) 21:04, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

Title, Entitled

Latest comment: 14 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Dear Killiondude,

Usage depends upon the CREDIBLE source cited. Wikipedia has not established itself as a credible source in my view on anything because of so many flaws that include improper grammar, misspellings, inaccuracies, and scientific, cultural, religious and/or political biases, etc., which I keep a file of examples on.

I didn't read your reference because anything Wikipedia says should first be looked at skeptically, for the reasons noted and for which I have shining examples. For me, there is no debate on title and entitled, but for Wikipedia as with so much with Wikipedia, well.......

Of course, you can find so-called credible sources that will back up your archaic point.

Debate the verb/adjective myopia all you want, but I'll tell you where there is no debate: the real world.

If an experienced, credible and capable editor sees you writing entitled in reference to a book title, you will NOT get the job. I say this as a longtime editor who has turned down job candidates on this fact alone because it shows me they do not have a proper grasp of current English.

Do you know the difference between more than and over? a lot and alot? afterward and afterwards? a historical epoch and an historical epoch? etc. Of course, those are all debatable as well! Have fun.

The Hotel Ambos-Mundos

Latest comment: 14 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Nice job on writing that article on the hotel. I've made a few modifications. Incidentally, I also have Ernest Hemingway on my watchlist, and I've seen lots of improvements to the article! :-) Mr. Harris, tomorrow I'm going to try to add some verifiable references to the article and try to nominate it for a DYK, of which you would be credited for initially starting the page. It's a bit past the nomination due date (within 5 days of creation), but we might be able to squeeze it in. Just needs some reference work. Killiondude (talk) 09:08, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, but most of the credit is due to the writer of the Spanish article on the Hotel on wiki.es, which I simply ran trough babelfish (using my own poor Spanish to clean up further), and then touched up with a few added details from own visit to it (which visit basically only served to give me confidence to do the job). I have some tourist photos of my own of the place, which I should eventually be able to add in a few days, when I locate them. Ditto for the outside of El Floridita.

BTW, if you have Hemingway on you list, would you mind adding your opinions to the great The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber debate (see the TALK page) SBHarris 20:53, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Right question, wrong person

Latest comment: 14 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Don't ask me. I merely uploaded the files under appropriate license and with specific permission from the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Later other guys decided to change the license. So ask them why they chose such a license, not me. BTW, the Ministry allowed Wikipedia to use all the files from www.ww2.pl as we please, provided "the graphics are not used contrary to basic aims of Polish foreign policy", which is a vague term denoting "don't upload pics of holocaust victims from our site defaced with a swastika", other than that the pics were PD. //Halibutt 12:17, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

Oh, I see. Well if you have the email from the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, you might forward that to permissions-en wikimedia.org so an OTRS volunteer can take a look at it. I think the reason that other people later came in and changed the licensing, is because there was no permission verified through the OTRS system, and they probably still wanted to to keep the images on Wikipedia.

Notable Roseville Residents

Boxxy is definitely a notable resident of Roseville. Also click this Boxxy and look at the sources. More than 10 million people saw her vids on Youtube.

I basically got tired of having IPs edit war to keep it in. Because you took the time to link it, I took a look and put it in the Roseville article.

I personally would rather not. From the looks of the protection log, it was protected for a long time before, then unprotected to "test the waters" so to speak, then re-protected. Is there a specific edit you want done? Killiondude (talk) 05:06, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
No "specific" edits - just the usual bigfoot type edits like other editors (Pauli133, Kgrad, Timpi, the bot, Clovis, McGeddon, Yankee, etc) are making. You know now it is. 99.150.255.75 (talk) 05:24, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
I thought that you had protected it last - I don't know how to check that kind of thing. If you didn't protect it, can you point me to the one who did - some page told me to ask the protector to unprotect it - I thought it was you. You know how that is. 99.150.255.75 (talk) 05:26, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
I went to Bigfoot - page history and searched for "prot" and saw your edit. That's how it is. 99.150.255.75 (talk) 05:47, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
