Image Undeletion Request Image:Chuck photo.jpg
Now that you've deleted it I have no idea what my stated rationale when I put the the photo up but the bottom line is that I control the rights to this author photo, having purchased them from the photographer. I have the right to use the image in any manner, in any medium, without restriction, worldwide in perpetuity.
22:44, 3 March 2008 Maxim (Talk | contribs) deleted "Image:Chuck photo.jpg" (: Deleted because "CSD I7 - Invalid fair use rationale; all non-free media require a fair use rationale; per WP:NFCC#10c, the rationale the name of the article that the media is used in". using TW)
So please, reinstate the image.Ibar88 (talk) 21:30, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
- You uploaded under a claim of fair use. If it's a free image, e-mail the information validating that to permissions-en@wikimedia.org Thanks, Maxim(talk) 21:10, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
This place just flummoxes me. Maybe I'm not understanding. The image is not "free." It can be modified or altered, it can be used as an illustration of the author -- which was why it was posted in the first place. There was a request for an author photo on the entry. It's a publicity shot / author photo which appears on the back cover of a number of his books. I, as the rights holder, granted Wikipedia the right to use the image with the entry for the author. That ought to be sufficient for its inclusion. If I tagged the thing wrong in the first place, sorry. But frankly, you need to work around this place full time to understand the conventions.Ibar88 (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 00:21, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
- A free image is an image you've released under a license when you can modified or used commercially, and thus you release at least some rights to it (GFDL, Creative Commons license, you can also release all rights to it (public domain)). Making a claim of fair use isn't appropriate when a free license is available. Maxim(talk) 12:31, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
Rollbacker
Before you go around removing this right from admins, I'd suggest it would be polite to ask why they have them. The implication of your actions, where admins have given themselves the right, is that you don't think they understand the rollbacker right. Whilst it may be described as a "redundant group", there might be reasons, not immediately obvious, why admins have given themselves rollbacker. Adambro (talk) 20:42, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
No fair, :( I just got back from holiday and went to fix it but you delete it already. Can you restore the image so I can fix the problems please. Govvy (talk) 00:02, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
- Sorry... :-( But you seem to have had a good long holiday, you were gone for over two weeks. :-p Maxim(talk) 12:27, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
- On second, this was my error. My apologies. Maxim(talk) 12:29, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
- cheers, so I added some more information, is it up to standard or am I suppose to put more down? Govvy (talk) 13:05, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
- a good guideline is to fill out {{non-free media rationale}}, which you've done, so you've fixed the problem fine. Maxim(talk) 13:10, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

ZOMG!!!! Canvassing!!!
Hi Maxim! This I think was meant to cancel your neutral. MediaWiki, being friendly and easy to use etc, is a complete git pained voice of experience here when it comes to autonumbering and bulleting. So both of your !votes currently stand. Please don't ask me to fix this, I haven't a clue - I've only been here 4 years and have no idea :o) ➨ REDVEЯS is a satellite and will be set alight 21:10, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah, it was meant to do that. I've fixed again by just getting rid of all the #s. Maxim(talk) 21:18, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
- Thank you! ➨ REDVEЯS is a satellite and will be set alight 21:30, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
- You protected these pages. The requester has deleted all my changes to the article, and locked in his deletions. Instead of locking in his deletions, could you act as an arbiter. There are two open ANIs on him [1].
- It's not my job to rule on content, it's your job to get consensus on the issue. Maxim(talk) 11:49, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
Dragon Ball
Thanks for the semi-protection. I also requested it for Dragon Ball AF on WP:RFPP but it was denied. Can you take a look? IMO, this one was targeted more than the dab was. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 06:01, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
- To me it looked like there was barely any vandalism at all. A bit every other day, it doesn't merit protection, IMO. Maxim(talk) 11:50, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
Because They Hate closure
Since information from the article Because They Hate was merged to Brigitte Gabriel, shouldn't the old article history be kept? I think Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Because They Hate should have closed as a Merge, not a delete. / edg ☺ ☭ 14:41, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
