Nodine photo

I will be more than happy to delete the image file. How? In plain English please. MagnoliaSouth ^(talk) 17:53, 19 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

File:Hans Hagen.jpg

May I ask for some help? I don't know how to properly cite the licence or what exactly I need to do. Photo is nominated for deletion, I got author's permission, but I don't know how to use it in wikipedia. See File_talk:Hans_Hagen.jpg. Thanks. --Mojca Miklavec (talk) 21:12, 19 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the answer. I didn't get any answer for quite a long time (I hope that my mail didn't go to spam), but I'll hold your word for it. Thanks. --Mojca Miklavec (talk) 12:32, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

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).

A case of WP:RS

Hi, ESkog.

I often monitor or improve software and computer articles in Wikipedia. I have recently noticed a couple of instances in which Wikipedians have cited from my blog! But is this considered to be reliable source? Is it not against WP:NOR or WP:SPS? Fleet Command (talk) 05:10, 6 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I see. I'll remove those citations and request other sources... But I won't persist. It's not a pleasant job denouncing yourself when others have reached a consensus to trust you. Fleet Command (talk) 07:24, 6 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Licensing of these pictures

Hi, ESkog.

How do you do? Looks like every administrator in Wikipedia is very busy nowadays, though I don't know what's exactly going on to keep you guys so busy.

Anyway, please look at these pictures and their licensing scheme:

Recently their licensing scheme has changed from Free to Copyrighted work. I am pretty sure that they DO qualify as free. But I thought perhaps I check with you, just to be sure. Don't you think they qualify as free work? Shall I go ahead, tag them as such and then transfer them to Wikimedia Commons?

Thanks. Fleet Command (talk) 16:23, 30 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks but how do I get a list of Commons Admins, so that I can contact one?

puppet resurfacing?

Hello ESkog, a sockpuppet which you recently blocked TVFAN24, [1] appears to have resurfaced once again as IP 98.223.95.42 and has reverted six television station articles to versions exactly of the type that this editor was previously utilizing sockpuppets to reinforce and had been previously warned up to level 4, not to perform. It appears to me that this editor is currently taking "advantage" of the situation surrounding an ongoing edit conflict between myself and editor User:Neutralhomer regarding editing practices concerning television station lists in order to rationalize an evasion of a permanent editing block. Is it possible for you to have a look at this situation? thanks again cheers Deconstructhis (talk) 20:39, 30 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding Wikipedia File Upload software

Hi, ESkog

Sorry to be bothering you but I have a question that I've already asked from standard outlets of Wikipedia and got no result, so I'm asking this from you. I hope you could help.

You have no doubt seen the Special:Upload. It has a Licensing drop-down combobox from which you can select a number of schemes. Now, some of the schemes, like {{Non-free computer icon}} or {{PD-text}} are missing from it. How, or who, can add these schemes to this list?

Thanks in advance.

Hi, ESkog

I hope you're doing well. Here is another related problem which I hope you could help me resolve (well, actually not me, but Wikipedia and especially newbie uploaders):

I posted a change request in MediaWiki:Licenses and, as far as it makes sense to me, everything in that page is in perfect order. However, not everything in Special:Upload is in order. Look at this screenshot and you'll see: What it is and what should be.png

Thanks in advance, ESkog.

Thanks a bunch! You're the best administrator ever. Fleet Command (talk) 06:46, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Village pump

Hi. Could you please direct me to the Village Pump discussion which has led to the removal of the unsourced names of former television station personalities? You referenced it on July 1 with regard to several Chicago stations. Thanks. JTRH (talk) 21:02, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hungarian PMs

Why is it not possible to use a fair use in... image for the illustration of additional articles (etc. File:ImreNagy.jpg)? --Norden1990 (talk) 12:06, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Cease fire request from File:Alwaysupdate-adware-winspy.PNG

Hi, ESkog

File:Alwaysupdate-adware-winspy.PNG is in a very bad situation. It was nominated for deletion but each time, an admin comes by, removes the nomination and nominates it for a new reason. Say, aren't we Wikipedian supposed to not to toy with the laws? May I please ask you to go ahead and put an end to its misery per WP:SNOW? Please see to it that it is either kept or deleted once and for all; just end its status as being eternally marked for deletion and never deleted.

Actually, I was the one who first nominated for deletion per failure to comply with WP:NFCC#3a and WP:NFCC#8. Fleet Command (talk) 07:18, 8 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Madden NFL 11 Warning

Speedy deletion nomination of Madden NFL 11

You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.

Thank you.

A tag has been placed on Madden NFL 11, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be unambiguous advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of Madden NFL 11 and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.Template:Do not delete Beamer103 01:57, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
