Images

Why did you delete the images of naomi lang?

• None of them was given a proper copyright tag, and no source was given. --cholmes75 ^{(chit chat)} 22:17, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Kissology Vol 1.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Kissology Vol 1.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. 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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Fritz Saalfeld (Talk) 17:52, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Alcuin_Society

Cholmes75,

What does blatant copyvio of http://www.alcuinsociety.com and other subpages mean?

All we want is a wiki page that explains what the society does, what it publishes, etc. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcuin_Society

• It means that the text of the Wikipedia article was taken directly from http://www.alcuinsociety.com and its subpages. Wikipedia does not accept copyrighted text from other works, unless that text is released under the GFDL. --cholmes75 ^{(chit chat)} 19:10, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

RE: All That article GA review

I have completed my extensive edits to improve the All That article, and I feel that I did a great job. What do you think? Thanks for your input. PF4Eva 23:05, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

• I will make sure to take a look at it as soon as I get a chance. --cholmes75 ^{(chit chat)} 16:41, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
• I followed your latest suggestions for this article. It didn't really take me too long. How does it look now, is it ready to pass as a GA? I think it flows better now. PF4Eva 23:43, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Motley Crue (album)

Hey, hope all is goin' well for you. Haven't been in contact for a while. Recently, I just did a huge re-write on the Motley Crue and submitted it to Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums/Assessment in hopes of a grade. I followed your outline with some of the KISS albums, as I thought that they were well written. Darwin's Bulldog 01:09, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

What the F^*#en hell?!?

Why did you delete pointlessweb.

Please undelete an image

Hi there,

I noticed that you deleted an image I uploaded Sovchampagne.jpg. Here's the log entry:

10:37, November 21, 2006 Cholmes75 (Talk | contribs) deleted "Image:Sovchampagne.jpg" (Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion/2006 November 12)

The reason I'm asking for an undelete is because I had this tagged incorrectly. I believe I had a PD-Russia tag up, but it should have been fair use (and of historical significance, also not re-creatable or replacable as it is original art: an advertising poster for champagne from 1953 or so.) Thank you! Any questions or if you need more info, let me know and I'll try to provide it. TheQuandry 05:00, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

• If I recall correctly, the image was being used on a userpage. Fair use images are not permitted on user pages, only in actual articles. If you intend on using the image in a specific article, let me know. --cholmes75 ^{(chit chat)} 14:25, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi again. You're right, I actually gave you the wrong image name. Sorry about that. It turns out someone else deleted the image I'm after. Thanks! TheQuandry 03:23, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

needcompany

Why did you delete the Needcompany page?

• Because it was spam for your company, and it fails to assert the notability of the company. --cholmes75 ^{(chit chat)} 14:23, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Regarding the Deletion of Igor Hiller

Why did you delete the "Igor Hiller" article?

• Another user proposed it for deletion under our WP:PROD procedure. No objection was raised after 5 days, so I deleted it. As far as I can tell, Igor Hiller has had bit parts in a few movies and has done some commercials, which does not raise him to the level of notability required for biographical articles. --cholmes75 ^{(chit chat)} 14:18, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Deletion of entry for Darren Lewin-Hill

Hi,

Querying the deletion of this entry, which I should have thought would be unproblematic given that I am Darren Lewin-Hill and well placed to provide details on why I ran for the election as an independent?

Cheers,

Darren Lewin-Hill dlewinhill@optusnet.com.au —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.12.60.118 (talk • contribs) 03:24, 4 December 2006 (UTC).

• Well actually the fact that you wrote about yourself is a problem. See WP:COI for details on that. --cholmes75 ^{(chit chat)} 15:34, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Fensom deletion

Why was the Fensom article deleted? No feedback was given. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Fensomwiki (talk • contribs) 04:10, 4 December 2006 (UTC).

• Per our criteria, it failed to assert the notability of the subject. --cholmes75 ^{(chit chat)} 15:35, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
