Khasekhemwy image is Copyright free

Dear Sir, The image of Khasekhemwy which you deleted was copyright free: [1] All images from Egypt archive are copyright free as its authors says: [2] Don't you read the information before you delete the picture.

Secondly, what is the correct license for a copyright free image. Can you please let me know? Leoboudv (talk) 01:21, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the information. Unfortunately, I have never uploaded an image to Wikicommons in my life. I am an amateur. So, I asked a friend to do it from this copyright free web site and was appalled when it was speedily deleted by you. So, for copyright free images, the license is

and it will fall under a Fair use rationale? Am I reading you right. You know, Khasekhemwy was a powerful pharaoh of Egypt--he was important--and right now there is no image for his article at all. Leoboudv (talk) 01:46, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I was under the impression that Egyptarchive images could have a simple clear tag. But I don't know its correct license. Leoboudv (talk) 01:49, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

WP:HAU

Hello yet again. I regretfully inform you that the bot we were using to update the user status at Wikipedia:Highly Active Users, SoxBot V, was blocked for its constant updating. With this bot out of operation, a patch is in the works. Until that patch is reviewed and accepted by the developers, some options have been presented to use as workarounds: 1) Qui monobook (not available in Internet Explorer); 2) User:Hersfold/StatusTemplate; 3) Manually updating User:StatusBot/Status/USERNAME; or 4) Not worry about it and wait for the patch to go through, which hopefully won't take long. If you have another method, you can use that, too. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Useight (talk) 17:41, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

I'm assisting Baron Wolman, Rolling Stone Magazine's first Chief Photographer, set up his Wikipedia page. We recently updated his bio and I noticed that a photograph of Baron, taken by his assistant, had been removed for "possible copyright violation". I have uploaded this file again and have added a copyright credit. Feel free to check it out & let me know if anything additional is needed. You can contact me at tim@hyperarts.com.

Thanks. Scribblerman (talk) 16:10, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

El Norte (film)

Hello once again. I'm having a problem with this film as there seems to be a vandal removing the fair use image. I think it's time we took more proactive steps, if possible. Thx. Luigibob (talk) 23:54, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Mr. Skier. Your are right about the film is not high profile and that is incredible. It is probably the most touching film about the plight of undocumented immigrants in the USA ever made (not just my POV, but Roger Ebert's as well). I've traded emails with the producer and writer of the film in the past, Anna Thomas, and she mentioned there were a few minor errors in her article, which I also wrote, and she said she'd get back to me. I've nugged her once but no avail. Needless to say, even though I am a huge fan of the film and the producers, my articles, in my opinion, are neutral. By the by, I had a bad week in Wiki. I got into a little spats with a couple of Wikipedians...one is completely over (see Amarcord talk page)...the other was just weird...he hated that I toched his article.....I let it go because it not a genre or film that I care about....as SilkyTork says, "There are a lot of articles out there to work on." I still love Wiki and the nice people I meet. I hope you had fun on your vacation! Your Wiki friend -- Luigibob (talk) 03:32, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much

Dear SkierRMH, Thank you for adding the fair rationalé for the image Agentx9movie.jpg in the article Secret Agent X-9 I really appreciate your kindness and help. --Cyril Thomas (talk) 11:57, 6 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Would you please take a look at this - I feel like it is not a real topic and should perhaps be deleted if so. Thanks. – Mike.lifeguard | ^@en.wb 02:08, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Page deletion/move

Hi. I see that you have been moving pages of the form "X (disambiguation)" to "X". Please check first that "X" redirects to "X (disambiguation)". If it does not, it is not appropriate to delete X and move the dab page in its place (or at least this should not be done without some thought.) You moved Ray tracing (disambiguation) to Ray tracing. The dab page was in fact surplus—nothing linked to it, because it did not comply with the guidelines (there were only two entries). Ray tracing redirected, as appropriate, to one of the two relevant articles. I fixed this. You might want to see if there was anything useful on the talk page you deleted.--Srleffler (talk) 06:26, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, you moved Swaminarayan (disambiguation) to Swaminarayan today. I undid this because Swaminarayan redirects to the most common use, Sahajanand Swami (Lord Swaminarayan). The dab page is for purposes related to Swaminarayan, whiles the basis for Swaminarayan is the deity, so it redirects there. Around The Globe^Contact 12:45, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Syncope (disambiguation)

Skier, I think this is a mistake to convert the Syncope (disambiguation) page to a redirect and rename it Syncope. First we cannot have a disambiguation page masquerading as a redirect page. Second the Syncope page does not deal with the subject matter, it only disambiguates. I think that this needs to be reverted. This sort of thing needs discusssion before it is executed, perhaps we can revert it and mark it for disussion. Ex nihil (talk) 08:09, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No response so I have moved Syncope back to Syncope (disambiguation) and added a couple of extra disambiguations along the way. Ex nihil (talk) 08:10, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary userpages

May I ask that, instead of deleting old user talk pages, you would simply remove the warning? It makes it difficult to trace the history of warnings/etc for sockpuppets and unblock requests, something which makes the process quite difficult, and which happens with surprising frequency.

Image Undeletion

Can you please restore Image:Highlevels.jpg. You deleted it, due to BJBot explaining it was orphaned, but since it is a Defcon image, it is only used at times the wdefcon is at level 2. Thank you, T^heDJA^tC^lubR^ock :-) ^(T/C) 02:12, 12 June 2008 (UTC).[reply]

the user you just blocked

For the anonymous user you just blocked, was the block for Grand Theft Auto (series)? Because if not, you may want to extend the block, as that user blanked another page and replaced with"ihgtf". Thanks,

Cortina, Italy

Hi Skier I want to fully translate this from Italian wiki. Could you help? ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 20:15, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I was also wondering whether you could restore Kambakth Ishq as it was before. It was deleted back in February because it was too soon, was things have deeveloped since then and I believw it is now out at Christmas. Could you restore the deleted version and I'll get the requester to try to develop it adequately. If it can't be, then delete it again ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 21:21, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cheers I did try to translate the first part but according to AlbertHerring it aint perfect. I startin gto learn Italian so hopefully I can improve! Its quite an important Italian article -of course it appeared in For Your Eyes Only (film)! ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 10:22, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hey fella any progress with Cortina? ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 21:30, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why did you delete the Image of Peter's barrel going over the falls ? I have permission from peter himself to use that picture.

Disregard last message

Please disregard this message. I've corrected the license issue. Lucas H (talk) 06:18, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Peter Debernardi

ok, I'm not the owner, However I'm acting on his behalf and he's allowing me to provide the image under whatever licence allows me to display it. How can I add a picture and have it remain on the site if I can't licence it properly ?

Photograph uploaded by a user?

User:Rushton2012 (J. Philippe Rushton) says on his user page that he has uploaded an image, but I can't see one under his contribs. I'm guessing he did upload one with that account and it got deleted, though I can't think of how I might find out. Are you able to tell, or are you in the dark like me? Perhaps if you can see the image, you might be able to view it and tell me why it was deleted? Please reply on my talk page. Richard001 (talk) 02:40, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

photo of Nancy Price

hi - noticed your comments about most photos being free by now - I'm afraid I cannot fathom the rules regarding uploading a photo at all - there are some used on other websites though, can they just be lifted? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.20.234.25 (talk) 18:36, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
