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

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)

DHI Group

Hi, I see that you reverted my edit to Dice.com, where I bolded the parent company, DHI Group. I did that because I found the Dice.com article while looking for information about the DHI Group. They are a provider of employment data, now available from the St. Louis Fed, and I wanted to know who they are. I think Wikipedia should have an article about them. But what we have is this article, which is about the DHI Group as well as Dice.com. For example, see the section Dice.com#Acquisitions_by_DHI_Group. So I fixed the redirect, added the hatnote, and bolded their name. But according to your edit summary, this was a violation of the MOS. Can you tell me, exactly what policy I was violating there? According to WP:OTHERNAMES, alternative names for the topic should be mentioned, and the usual practice is to bold them. No?

Anyway, when an edit of mine is reverted, I get a little red notification when I log on to Wikipedia to tell me so. As you can imagine, this is always irritating. Especially in this case, after I had spent 30 minutes so that people looking for information about the DHI Group can find it instead of being sent to the article on the Danish software company. Wondering if you think of things like that when you revert other editors' edits? – Margin1522 (talk) 00:34, 6 August 2017 (UTC)

OTHERNAMES would only have applied if the article was about DHI rather than dice.com. Since the two are different subjects, it does not. I did not doubt your good faith, and am sorry you were irritated by the notification. --Orange Mike | Talk 05:36, 6 August 2017 (UTC)

Well, Dice Holdings and DHI Group both redirect to Dice.com, and to many people (like the author of our article on SourceForge) they must seem like the same entity. At least related enough to share an article. But it you don't see it that way, fine. I've quit insisting about these things. Thanks for the apology. – Margin1522 (talk) 06:41, 6 August 2017 (UTC)

Jay Dillon Rare Books

I very deliberately declined to block User:Jay Dillon Rare Books, as can be seen from the username warning on user talk:Jay Dillon Rare Books and from my edit on WP:UAA when the name was reported. I did this because although the user name is a technical violation, the user had made constructive edits, and had not made any promotional edits. I did this in accord with Wikipedia:Username policy#Dealing with inappropriate usernames whaich says, in relevant part If you see a username that is problematic but was not obviously created in bad faith, politely draw the user's attention to this policy, and try to encourage them to create a new account with a different username. If you want, you can use the {{subst:uw-username}}, {{subst:uw-uall}} or {{subst:uw-coi-username}} template for this. I request that you undo your block, and I suggest that in future such cases you consult with the admin who declined a UAA report. I also note that your Block log mentioned "promotional edits" but unless I have missed something, all edits by User:Jay Dillon Rare Books were constructive and none were in any way promotional. Why then did you use this block reason? we have a pre-filled reason for a promotional name without promotional edits, after all. DES ^(talk)_{DESiegel Contribs} 14:08, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

This account posted an image to an article with a big fat gratuitous advert for his company in the caption. --Orange Mike | Talk 04:09, 15 August 2017 (UTC)

The caption was arguably promotional, but also gave the source of the copy, indeed it is quite possibly required for proper attribution. A ment mention of the name of a business hardly seems a big fat gratuitous advert. I repeat my request. DES ^(talk)_{DESiegel Contribs} 02:04, 20 August 2017 (UTC)

Requesting to open editing "World Certification Institute"

I am trying to add in information regarding World Certification Institute but it was locked. Could you help me out on this. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wci03 (talk • contribs) 14:34, 19 August 2017 (UTC)

For years now, you have been trying to publicize the WCI. This article has been blocked from creation due to the repeated creation of blatant promotional content, which also contained significant copyright violations in whole and in part from the organization's website. Since your username also clearly belongs to the WCI, your account has also been blocked as a promotional username. --Orange Mike | Talk 14:43, 19 August 2017 (UTC)
