How do I delete the previous versions? The file link contains 4 images. Could you delete the first three? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rakkan (talk • contribs) 08:46, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

Cool Climate Oenology and Viticulture Institute logo update

Hi Melesse, I'm the social media co-ordinator for Brock University, home to the Cool Climate Oenology and Viticulture Institute (CCOVI), and I noticed that the CCOVI [entry] has an out of date logo. Since I am not yet an autoconfirmed user, I cannot easily update the logo on the page. Could you please update it using the logo found at http://www.brocku.ca/sites/default/files/CCOVI_logo_long%204.jpg Many thanks, Jcooper2 (talk) 14:22, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

The non-free image you uploaded is replaceable by a free one.)

I don't understand this. You altered the article on the Calgary Tigers by removing the image there and leaving an empty thumbnail frame with big red notice in the middle of it, put up a notice on my talk page noting that "The non-free image you uploaded is replaceable by a free one", but then didn't bother to tell where the non-free image is.

If it isn't too much trouble, can you at least give me hint as to where the non-free image you're talking about is located - so that I can upload it and undo the damage you've done?

Wouldn't it have been much smarter to upload the new image first - or let me know where to at least find it so I could do it - before just going ahead and trashing the article?Michael Dorosh^Talk 20:44, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

I'm insulted that you seem to think I'm purposely playing games or being difficult. I don't know where to find a free image, I just happen to know that a free image would be available because games occur all the time and are attended by hundreds or even thousands of people who could take an appropriately licensed photo of the uniform. You even said as much in your description. Melesse (talk) 01:48, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

You're joking, right? I don't go to hockey games and would have no means of taking such a photo. Besides which, genius, THE GAME THESE JERSEYS ARE BEING WORN IN DOESN'T EVEN HAPPEN UNTIL NEXT YEAR. They're mostly corporate businessmen at those things anyway (only ones who can afford season's tickets) and they don't take cameras for photo shoots. YOUR WORDS were that you had access to a free image, then you trashed the article by leaving an empty thumbnail box and basically left the thing to fester. Congratulations on making WP just a little bit suckier for everyone involved. Powertrippers like you are the reason people get fed up and move on. A more reasonable approach would have been to just wait and find a non-free image (since you think it is so easy) and replaced it. The image in question was released by the creator for the purpose of PR in any event, so its fair use was unquestionable. Certainly wasn't hurting anything. Now there is just a black hole in the article and a really dumb looking red link where the image was supposed to be. You're just lazy. Be insulted all you want, but don't claim you're not playing games. Of course you are. Have fun trashing articles. The collateral damage you're doing by driving editors off who see this kind of crap go on is even worse. -- unsigned by Michael Dorosh^Talk

TL;DR. Take it to deletion review, at least you'll get further responses there, which is more than you'll get here. I'm not going to discuss this with you any further, and I'm going to erase any further personal attacks you make here on my talk page. Melesse (talk) 03:38, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

I'm just going to jump in here and declare WP:CIVIL. WP:Assume good faith. That is a pillar upon which Wikipedia is based. WP policy about replaceable non-free images is a sore spot, no doubt about it. But there are very good reasons for the policy. As for the style not being used until next season, WP:Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. To see if any interested editors in the area can shoot a photo for you, try asking on the article Talk page, and on irc://irc.freenode.net/wikipedia-en-help for other places to ask. In the meantime, the wikitext for the broken image area can be carefully <!-- commented --> so that it is more easily replaced when the image does show up: this hides the hole, and leaves a breadcrumb for later.

President in Mersin.jpg

Is the image President in Mersin.jpg OK now ? If not what else can be done ? Have a good day. Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 12:12, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

No, it isn't. The "Purpose" field needs an explanation of why the image is necessary in the article, not just the article it's in, and preferably, the "Replaceability" field needs an explanation of why it isn't, not just a simple no. Melesse (talk) 03:44, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

Wondering If You Can Help

I am wanting to create a userbox about Autism and Aspergers Awareness and some other Autism and Aspergers userboxes. Problem is, the "Puzzle" ribbon just doesn't look the same as the other Awareness Ribbons, like this one and it isn't working out well. Is there something in whatever picture program you use to make a new ribbon in the same puzzle design (cause that can't change) but the same design as the ribbons currently on other boxes? If so, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks...Neutralhomer • Talk • 05:50, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

I possibly could, but it would take longer than the "In the News" barnstar did, and I'm not too confident how nice I could make it look. When you say it needs to be the same pattern, do you mean the exact same puzzle piece shapes, or just the color scheme? If it's the former I'd need you to provide me with a larger version of that same pattern, the latter I could just make it up myself. Melesse (talk) 07:58, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

Not really the exact same "pieces", just the same colors in the same places. You could probably make your own "pieces" just with the same colors in the same places (for closeness with the original), but again, that isn't something that needs to be done. People use the "Puzzle Piece Ribbon" for all kinds of things and it isn't exact, but it is the same colors, just not in the same places. So, the only thing that would be the same is the colors of the "pieces", just not where those colors fall. I will try and find a large size of the "ribbon" for you to give a look-see on. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 20:04, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

Looked on Google Images and found this (largest image available) and this (clearest image available). You only need to use the same colors, not in the same places and not even the same shapes of the "pieces". - Neutralhomer • Talk • 20:09, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

Okay, how's this? File:Autism Awareness Ribbon.png Melesse (talk) 21:25, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

WOW! That's awesome and perfect! Thank you! :) - Neutralhomer • Talk • 21:36, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

You can see the four userboxes created with the Puzzle Ribbon here. I also added it to List of awareness ribbons. Thank you so much for your help. :) - Neutralhomer • Talk • 21:55, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

Need help with Image Retention.

User:Patelurology2/Shushrusha Citizens' Co-operative Hospital, Shivaji Park, Mumbai - is the title of a page being created. You have helped before for some concern about logo or other image. I had two images tagged to the page twice before. For some reason they were deleted from page. An attempt to reload and hold resulted in orphaning and delete from common. Advisory to disable the bot was encountered once but how do you do that . Anyway, need to images on the page. How to? Help. Thanks.

The front of hospital seems to have remained on one page since May; other image is missing. Both were missing on related page; reloaded same front image reloaded yesterday on the related similar. User:Patelurology2/Shushrusha Citizen's Co-operative Hospital, Dadar (W), Mumbai

The second image is titled logo at Shushrusha_Hospital_Mumbai_logo.jpg , and some other variations of the same used before, in commons. Image:Shushrushahospital_logo.jpg‎ This Blu backgroung logo/moto image needs to be above the other image of front of hosp. The image names are in edit mode bracketted by The ultimate page will ahve only representative encyclopedic summary avoiding advertising aspects. Patelurology2 (talk) 14:49, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

I don't understand your question. Melesse (talk) 18:29, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

Deletion of File:Ross-Wallace.jpg

Hi. I was noticed you speedy-removed this file; but it was a book cover used in an article, which should have justified its keeping. Could you please explain me why it was removed? Thanks. McMarcoP (talk) 10:44, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

It wasn't in an article at the time I looked at it. Melesse (talk) 18:29, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

The article is David R. Ross - and actually it has been there more or less since I uploaded it... it is not the "header" picture but it is in the "books" section (as it is... well, the cover of a book, and the article is about a writer). Can I simply re-scan it and re-upload it or is there anything else I should do? Thanks. McMarcoP (talk) 10:03, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

If that's how you're using the image, then I don't recommend it. Unless you're referring to something specific about the book's cover design or something like that, it's inclusion in the article would really just be for decoration, and that doesn't make for an adequate fair use rationale. The same goes for the other book cover and the DVD cover you've included in the article. Melesse (talk) 03:03, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

I see. It's that I have been seeing this done for a long time (there is a section about the books of an author, there also is the scan of the cover of a book)... When did the rule change? McMarcoP (talk) 21:04, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

It never changed. I suppose that means you've been seeing a lot of improper uses of book covers. Melesse (talk) 00:05, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

OK... will keep it in mind. Thanks. McMarcoP (talk) 13:42, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

Charlie Jame Gallery

You nominated Charelie james gallery photo for deletion because a a free version could be used. However, I'm not aware of any free photos of this gallery. I also acquired permission from the author of the photo. It may not be the most illustrative photo but I think you should provide a better one before your remove it. You have not offered any reason for deleting it. Warrenking (talk) 04:58, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

It's an existing building, so someone could take a freely licensed photo of the gallery. Melesse (talk) 05:34, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

image Use

I uploaded a picture to the Floyd C Bayne article. I have talked to the campaign and candidate spoken of in the article. It is their picture from their website that I uploaded with their permission. What do I have to do to use the picture in the article? J. D. Hunt (talk) 04:57, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

Get them (or the photographer) to release it under a free license. Melesse (talk) 05:50, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

Re: Orphaned non-free media (File:Eletrobrasfurnaslogo.jpg)

Yes, I uploaded File:Eletrobrasfurnaslogo.jpg and it will be used in an article in my sandbox for awhile. It was uploaded prematurely and I am having problems with the resolution. If you want to delete it, please do so. I would have to upload a new revision anyway. Thanks. --NortyNort (Holla) 04:38, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

File:Norton-utilities-4.0.png and File:Norton-utilities-6.0.png are really on Commons

Hi, Melesse

I did notice your rejection of speedy deletion of these files per CSD 8 (edit summary: Not on commons) and fixed the link to their Commons version. Now, you can really speedy delete them.

However, if you had read the error message that Wikimedia Commons gave, you'd have noticed their presence on Commons by yourself. Perhaps, you'd allow me to ask you to be a bit more careful in the future when performing your administrative duties?

Thanks in advance. Fleet Command (talk) 12:19, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

Re: Orphaned non-free media (File:International_Graduate_School_in_Molecular_Medicine_Ulm_logo.jpg)

Thanks for your comment. This logo was intended for an article that is still under preparation in my Sandbox. --NimarDE (talk) 07:09, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
