Speedy deletion of File:1930s photo of the foreshore above Jeffrey Street 001 001004.jpg

hello Orangemike

Apologies if I missed earlier warnings, or if the file was incorrectly tagged however can I check please your speedy deletion of this photograph. The photograph was important to the article. The reference citation in the article on Jeffrey Street was as follows and my recollection is that a similar citation was present on the photo page:

"View to St. Aloysius' College above foreshores of Kirribilli" (photo). 1 copyprint; b&w; 204 x 254 mm, This photograph shows construction on foreshores of Kirribilli above Jeffrey Street. Above the foreshores is St. Aloysius; College incorprating Dr. Cox's home. Whilst barely visible above the trees is the tower of Star of the Sea Church. The homes Greencliffe and Craiglea are also visible on the right hand side above M. Steel boatshed. Jeffrey Street Wharf and Jeffrey Street: North Sydney Council, original publisher unknown. 1930s. Retrieved 27 June 2010. Image 001\001004

The file appears on the Local Government website and the source attributes the photo to "c 1930s". I thought (mistakenly) that all of the correct tags has been used both in the article and also on the photo page. I refer also to the Australian Copyright Council which states that in Australia Copyright has expired in photos taken prior to 1 January 1955. This photograph is therefore approximately 20 years out of copyright. Refer to the copyright regulation here.

Can I seek your advice please as to how to reverse this or what additional "public domain" style tag you feel was missing which should have been present on this photo to cover any other countries copyright laws etc? This photo has been on this article for almost four (4) years and this is the first time that the PD status / copyright of these very old photos has been raised as an issue.

Is my deleted article stored in the Wikipedia database?

I was told my article about Claudia Caporal was deleted because it was biased and I was too "close" to her to be able to write her article. Is there a way to rescue the writing I did for it so that I may then edit it to an appropriate stage for publishing? Thank you. KatieLee92 (talk)

Second consideration appreciated on Talk:Gregor Collins

Hi, Orange Mike, or other user - this is a request for a second look ie a consideration in deleting the "Some or all of this article's listed sources may not be reliable" note that has been on the Gregor Collins article since September of 2013. Reliable sources and additional, validated wiki links (including the recently approved article Goodbye Promise) have been provided in the interim, proving it a worthy candidate for no flags. I have no reason to be untruthful that this article is indeed associated with me but that is in no way an indication it is a puff piece or autobiographical piece, nor should it not be considered just as neutral as any other entry. If for some reason it's still considered flag-worthy I'd appreciate an updated explanation and what needs to be secured to have it fully approved. Thanks for your time. Gregorcollins (talk)

Some words on "ESNA European Higher Education News"

I removed the issues from the top of the page. After spending a few weeks gradually editing this article, I believe the tone is much more neutral, many references and links have been added to integrate it, and it relies much less on primary sources. If there is anything left to be improved, please let me know. Thanks.Template:Subset:unsigned

Luv Ya page

Hello Orangemike I appreciate your advice, but just to clarify, Paloma Faith is not a minor performer. Despite not being regarded as a phenomenon like Amy Winehouse or Adele she is more popular than some may realise, and even so more financially successful than some realise. I believe if my article is up to the standard of Wikipedia, my article will be accepted. Thankyou. CandidLibraryEditors — Preceding unsigned comment added by CandidLibraryEditors (talk • contribs)

Restored so that I can reply

Hey orangemike. Not sure why you felt the need to not answer my question with your dismissive missive but the fact is a reviewer has already said they will APPROVE the article because it does meet the notability requirements. I assume you are not an entertainment professional. But read the comments and the history of the page. Wiki has tons of Broadway folks less notable with less citations and support that have pages. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Parplaywright (talk • contribs) 02:43, 14 May 2017 (UTC)

I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings, but I was trying to clarify that you need to set your priorities. I don't want to see you disappointed by submitting an article draft and getting it rejected. The problem is that there are plenty of folks with Equity and SAG cards who don't quite meet our standards of notability. (Me? I'm married to a WGA/IATSE dual card holder; never trod the boards since high school myself, but know enough not to whistle backstage or name the Scottish play.) --Orange Mike | Talk 04:33, 14 May 2017 (UTC)

No hurt feelings. I'm a former professor and first industry liaison at NYU TISCH School so I wouldn't be creating a page for an actor or actress unless they were notable. An Equity and (more accurately) a SAG-AFTRA card ( both of which I carry) are not what we're talking about here. I've worked with DeNiro and LuPone but I'm not notable. This is an award winning Broadway actress and Symphony Orchestra soloist in this case. Well worthy of a page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Parplaywright (talk • contribs) 04:52, 14 May 2017 (UTC)

Well-known, living person

I am curious how you concluded that:

Brg007, matches the name of a well-known, living person, Bernard R. Goldberg,

I am reviewing an OTRS ticket, and your answer may help me resolve an open issue. --S Philbrick(Talk) 19:20, 15 May 2017 (UTC)

BRG are the initials of Bernard R. Goldberg. Combined with the fact that this s.p.a. was only editing the article about Goldberg, I feel that this was either intending an impersonation of BRG, or is BRG himself. --Orange Mike | Talk 20:42, 15 May 2017 (UTC)

OK, thanks.--S Philbrick(Talk) 22:01, 16 May 2017 (UTC)

Deleted User Page?

Hi Orangemike, I was editing the BW Group's page and you posted something on my user page that I saw in my email but couldn't see when I clicked on it. I'm not an employee although I did work there once a long time ago. The sources I referenced are the company's websites, a commemorative book published by Bergesen and another by World-Wide Shipping more than a decade ago and the company's quarterly magazine which is sent out to anyone on its mailing list (I am on the mailing list). I also referenced some news websites. I was trying to help an ex-colleague who was too biased in his editing. I thought as a non-employee who isn't going to receive any financial benefit I would be considered more neutral and not having any conflict of interest. Besides, I found it a pity that information about the company that once owned the world's biggest fleet and the company that was once Norway's biggest is not easily available online. Could you tell me where I went wrong and how I may contribute to the article in an acceptable manner? Thank you!
