Replaceable fair use File:Burnt_mary.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Burnt_mary.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. Melesse (talk) 09:54, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for uploading File:Lauren Woolstencroft winning gold women down hill.JPG. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 09:23, 4 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Iginla's milestones

Hi Samsamcat, I wouldn't say you did anything wrong. I just made the minor change of removing the goaltender's name because I felt it improved the article stylistically. As a general rule, I try to avoid making similar statements in close succession, so "Iginla scored x goal against y goalie on z date" twice in a row felt awkward. That's why I made some small stylistic changes, including removing the goalies name. I personally think that for major milestones (1st goal, 500th, etc), the goalie is important. For his 30th of the year, less so. But that isn't a rule of any kind, just a preference.

One thing I would suggest for future editing is to include more complete references. It is great that you added a reference - Wikipedia is growing ever more insistent on them - but it helps to provide a greater level of detail. There is no single required format, though in cases like this article, it is best to follow the style already set down. Personally, I tend to use the {{cite web}} (/cite news/cite book/etc.) or {{citation}} family of templates when writing articles. But generally, and especially with online newspaper articles that are known to go offline at some point, you want to include the author's name, article link, article title, publication and date. This ensures that if (when) the online link goes dead, there remains enough information that another person could find the original source if desired.

With this all said, I am going to partially re-revert your change on the article to fix the citation formatting and restore the season link, but will leave the statement closer to your passage. Cheers! Resolute 13:49, 15 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nenshi

With respect, if you make a bold addition that is reverted, the next step is to discuss, not revert back. As it is, I fail to see the purpose of the "Nenshi vs. Ford" section. Bluntly, it reads as a coatrack designed to denigrate Ford and has very little to do with Nenshi. What does relate to Nenshi is basically just trivia - mayors very often bet on the outcome of championship games. At best, this is irrelevant. At worst, it pushes a point of view and synthesis of sources. In either case, it is rife with puffery and is presented non-neutrally. That is my view as of right now, but I would like to hear your views on why you feel this section is necessary. Thanks, Resolute 04:36, 30 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps, but the danger in making such comparisons is in assuming too much. The media has made some comparisons, but for your efforts here, you have to limit to what reliable sources say about the comparison. For example, you can't take one source the praises Nenshi's response to Calgary's flood, and take a second source that criticizes Ford for his handling of Toronto's flash flood, then make a statement here about the relative reactions. That would be considered synthesizing sources, and is considered original research. I wish you luck in the editing, however. Cheers! Resolute 22:31, 31 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The second paragraph needs to go. That particular scandal has nothing to do with Nenshi, so it is not appropriate to bring up here. Likewise, the third paragraph says nothing, really. The first paragraph is where you would want to make a brief expansion, giving a little more detail as to the nature of the comparison. From there we could seek additional opinions to determine if this passage warrants retention. Resolute 22:41, 31 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Getting better. It occurs to me that you haven't actually defined who Ford is. Most people outside Canada, and even some within, would have no idea who he is if you don't specify. Resolute 22:59, 31 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I can't really say yet, as I have to take a look at the sources. I'll try to do that soon, but I do have a few other things on the go at the moment. Thanks, Resolute 23:40, 31 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I won't challenge it, but I can't speak for anyone else. Resolute 00:17, 1 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thomas S. Monson edit war

Hi, I noticed that you have made the same edit/revert 4 times on the Thomas S. Monson page, despite several requests to stop and discuss the merits of the edit. In case you weren't aware, Wikipedia has strict rules about edit warring, specifically a rule that anyone reverting more than three times in 24 hours can be blocked by an administrator. I invite you to stop reverting and join the discussion on the article talk page. ~Adjwilley (talk) 07:07, 7 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I erased your comment you fucker!


Gra gra gra some critizism from ground zero on my work... deleted!

Comment Suggestion

You know what?

You don't need to resign from working here. You just need to follow the policies. There is a good legal reason why non-free material at Wikipedia can't reside anywhere but in article space. All you need to do, as Resolute said earlier, is comment out the image with a colon whilst it's in your userspace. When and if your draft is moved into article space, it can be removed. Simple as that. You're obviously an intelligent person, so how come this is such an issue? Black Kite kite (talk) 18:12, 3 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Namely because I'm up late at night addicted to data entring for wikipedia, and if I don't stop I'm going to give my self a stroke lol. Besides it's not just the photograph of Mr Chumir, but Resolute seems to target me for some reason with other articles, and I try to edit as how he or she want, but for some odd reason I'm in Weirth's and his (Resolute's), radar lock-on for some reason. I realize that these measures are necessary to maintain order and high quality of data presented in our articles.However, to bite the head off new reporters is a bit much. But thank you for your concern Black kite.

The irony here is that I was actually defending you in the ANI (which is also how I came to be involved). I was asking why the other editor wasn't talking with you - and unfortunately, your response proved them right. My message to your talk page was not to chastise you, but to explain Wikipedia's image policies and offer you alternate ways to use the image file. Certainly I expected that would be preferable to the straight warning another editor might have left. I suppose not. Resolute 18:40, 3 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It's not the photograph, it's you with the Nenshi articles and elsewhere. Actually you've been very polite about the edits, others weren't. Sorry to lump you in with them. But neverless, I'm politely graciously bowing out. I've made plenty of article entries that I'm pleased with, and I rather leave Wikipedia with a favorably taste in my mouth. But thanks for your assistance with the intregrity of the other posts. At least you're very professional about this.
