Recreation of deleted page

Hello Nthep, you had deleted page Riaz Ahmad twice in past. I just want to keep you informed that I have recreated that page as a redirect to Riyaz Ahmad who an Indian politician. Trust this will be ok with you. Cheers, Arun Kumar SINGH (Talk) 11:10, 15 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That's fine, new use is perfectly valid. Nthep (talk) 11:17, 15 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

UnbiasedVictory unblock

Just by way of further information, UnbiasedVictory/Amerijuanican/C_1_J_1_7_L_9_4 was outed as a recurring sock puppet for returning to pages he'd previously haunted and repeating the same behaviours that got him blocked in the first place. This is why he ran afoul and was blocked in progressively shorter spans of time. His contributions under his most recent user name amply demonstrate his insistence on edit-warring Natty10000 | Natter 03:30, 18 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I did look at his background and while I think the chances of persuading the stewards are small it doesn't hurt to apply a little bit of AGF and point them in the right direction. Nthep (talk) 13:56, 18 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The most generous way of describing his description of his behaviour is to say he was prevaricating a bit. In his UV persona, HLGallon and I (and others) cut him all sorts of slack when he introduced bias et al to various articles. That he would not stop as UV spoke to his insistence. That he continued the same path in new personas puts the lie to his claim of having learned from his past errors. IMHO, he abuses the ability to edit Wiki in a serial manner and will continue to haunt his previous articles and do the same again. Natty10000 | Natter 22:48, 18 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

He probably will but that is no reason not to inform him of how to appeal. Nthep (talk) 22:54, 18 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Not at all. I just wanted to be sure his prevarication was a known quantity. Natty10000 | Natter 23:08, 18 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use image for Glenn Ivey

Hi Nthep,

I'm trying to upload an image for the Glenn Ivey article. After seeing your tag of the initial upload as replaceable, I found a fair-use image of Glenn Ivey and added it to the article. The Flickr page [1] clearly specifies the license, and the licence states that You are free to: Share — copy and redistribute the material in any medium or format for any purpose, even commercially. [2] The "No derivatives" aspect applies to transformations, not croppings. I specified, as required in the licence, that I had cropped the image. Thus, this image is fair use, and I request for it to be restored, or to be allowed to re-upload the image without you deleting it again. Thank you. Jw sheridan (talk) 20:08, 24 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Jw sheridan: I agree that what you did isn't a derivative but Wikipedia policy is that images do allow others to create derivatives should they wish to do so. As a result any Creative Commons licence with the no derivatives attribute isn't an allowable licence on Wikipedia. Nthep (talk) 20:12, 24 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Nthep: That seems surprising to me. I checked for that policy and couldn't find it. Could you please point me to a page that shows why this license isn't acceptable and what would be acceptable? In any case, I believe there is no freer image available, which as far as I understand it grants some leeway -- is that the case? Thanks. Jw sheridan (talk) 21:14, 24 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Jw sheridan: Wikipedia:Image use policy#Free licenses is the main place and reinforced at Wikipedia:File copyright tags. Fair us is allowed but only if the image meets all ten of the Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria. The problem with any non-free image of Ivey is that it will fall foul of criterion 1 - "Non-free content is used only where no free equivalent is available, or could be created, that would serve the same encyclopedic purpose" (my emphasis added); while you might not be able to find a free image of Iver now, one could be created by someone. This is why so many Wikipedia articles about living people are lacking in images. Nthep (talk) 21:31, 24 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Margaret Walker MD

This may be something to do with User talk:Ashton Cable that you blocked. I've mentioned the bizarre editing at WP:ANI#Anyone want to untangle this, um, really really really not here?. Doug Weller talk 17:22, 25 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for December 26

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Andrew Rissik, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Charles Gray and Time Out (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
