Thank you for uploading Image:TristanPrettyman.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. -- moe.RON Let's talk | done 16:10, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

I uploaded the picture I took of her. I added the note that I took the picture and I gave myself permission to use it. I also added the note that said I was allowing the picture to used by anyone and placed in the open usage category.

Any you still removed it. In fact, this is the second or third time someone has removed it.

What do I have to do to post a picture I took on Wikipedia?

Phil Konstantin -- July 8, 2007

Thank you for your time and please let me know how we can aid the wikipedia project. Dan Ryan, Director of Communications. World Indoor Football League

Good day. We've crossed paths before on other articles and I know you've helped out on the Wishbone Ash page. DiamondJack (talk · contribs) is attempting copyvio uploads for both the WA article and the newly created "Martin Turner version" article. If you can spare some time I'd appreciate some assistance maintaining the free-use pic thats in the current article. Thank you. 156.34.142.110 18:28, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I see and have added the photos to my watch list. Let me know of other problems. -- moe.RON ^{Let's talk | done} 20:16, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the backup. I had to, ahem, skew a policy or 2 today :) to get the page semi_p'd. I have Admin Wiki alf and another "new but dedicated" editor keeping watch. While I have your attention... I reported an image earlier to PUI that's been loaded to Commons with 'highly dubious' free use claims. It's an AC/DC pic. After poking around I noticed that List of AC/DC members has an abundance of pics from throughout the band's history. A couple or sourced... poorly... some have very flimsy fair-use rationale... the bulk seem to be stretching the use allowance to it's limits. If you have a minute could you browse by and see what you think. Thanks! Ahoy! 156.34.216.32 03:54, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at the page, I would say that if you wanted to remove the images from the page due to WP:FU excessive amount of non-free content images as per policy (3a), I would support it. -- moe.RON ^{Let's talk | done} 04:39, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ahh, the loop. Done... let's see where that goes :D . 156.34.216.32 10:39, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If I am reading things correctly... free-use images from Commons always wins out over promo pics with fragile fair-use rationale... right? At least I think I'm right. I am trying to maintain "free-use wins" in the Megadeth article. I am battling with the FU image uploader. + a fly-by user who just likes what pretty regardless of policies and guidelines... etc. Could you intervene for me and check out the fair-use upload for discrepancies. I personally think it's not "stickable". Thanks. 156.34.219.175 01:00, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

PS...another image query. The pic, Image:Acdclineup1994-now.jpg is uploaded at Commons. It is the inside sleeve image from a CD and the uploader claims the original photographer gave him permission to use it? This 'permission' doesn't seem to be available for checking. I questioned it over at PUI and it got ignored. Any thoughts? 156.34.219.175 01:15, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading Image:Galactic04.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast 16:39, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

He is also back under several other names, such as RunLikeAnAntelope (talk · contribs). Since it looks like he has been following rules, I have just let the user go unless there were problems. -- moe.RON ^{Let's talk | done} 20:13, 23 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I was letting him slide too since he said he would be following rules. Today he has resumed causing trouble, and it's a campaign he's been warned about plenty by now, so the good behavior may have been tactical.

Have you names of previous SEGA socks whose behavior is comparable to RunLikeAnAntelope? I'd like to add them to my sp report. / edg ☺ ★ 20:23, 23 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Taken a look through Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/SEGA. They did find a result about that user, but couldn't tie it to SEGA because the user was "stale". -- moe.RON ^{Let's talk | done} 20:43, 23 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for checking. I hope you don't mind my adding RunLikeAnAntelope to the SP report. I'm second guessing this on my part because I'm wondering if it would be better to allow this editor to carry on while on good behavior. / edg ☺ ★ 04:39, 24 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Could you take a peek at the image uploads of User:O3scotto. He has lots of uploads sourced from 'deanguitars.com' and they're tagged as "permission granted". These are just rips of the proshots of the different guitar models on the manufacturers website. I don't believe any valid permission for use is applicable on any of them. The uploader has some "self-taken" tags in there as well. Since the guit pics are likely copyvio lifts from other websites... my "non-AGF" is that they are all heisted and all are PUI's. Thoughts? Have a nice day. 156.34.142.110 16:57, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
