Howdy sir. You deleted the image on the Michael W. Dean article, was deleted before that too. The image is from Dean's website http://www.clonethehomeless.com under the image it reads "(Press photo of Michael W. Dean by Debra Jean Dean. Covered by creative commons. May be used anywhere with credit.)"
Doesn't that make this image ok for wikipedia use? Thank you (please respond on my talk page.) ElizaBarrington 01:02, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
Angr, could you PLEASE have look at the (image) discussion page and the link provided? AGAIN I have to note that this is not one of those images that should be replaced in the crusade to rid Wikipedia of all fair use images. The use of the image for uses like Wikipedia is specifically, right on the origin-page, allowed. Getting a bit sick of having to defend it all the time. Why do you think I added the explanation, and the comment on the discussion page?. Cheers, MadMaxDog 05:28, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
You deleted Image:Zork mac screenshot.png, because of "I4 (no source given)". However the image description page described the source quite clearly: "Screenshot of Zork I running on the Spatterlight interpreter." I see you haven't even bothered to list it on IFD, and deleted it without any discussion. Screenshots of games are allowed to be used where appropriate according to the current Wikipedia policy. Grue 15:34, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
Don't you think an explanation as to which licensing/fair use policy was violated would be appropriate on the talk page of the articles you delete images from, instead of just unilateraly removing content which other users obviously did not think was in violation of policy? This would be helpful, I think. With that in mind, could you please explain why you deleted the image of Crystal Gail Mangum? Regards, Ikilled007 18:38, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
Ah, couldn't get around that. Alright, I made a decision then. Maybe not one the stricter image admins like, but I think falling under the category "possibly living people" makes it fair enough. Based on age he was a harder than the other one though to pull the trigger on.--Wizardman 19:35, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
Angr,
Please check page history for 360 Architecture on March 23. The page was cleared by Administrator King of Hearts as non advertorial, so I ask that you remove the deletion tag. Also refer to "HOK" for a comparison to an architectural firm entry.
Best regards, Sdkucera 20:54, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
You deleted the Corrigan DL picture without explanation of the problem nor in giving the stated 48 hour notice to correct the problem. This is the second picture in the article you've either tagged for deletion or deleted. The first image had proper notice provided to WikiCommons and now this second one, as I read fair-use guidelines, was also properly attributed. I'm looking for an explanation of your actions. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jodyw1 (talk • contribs) 20:55, 2 May 2007 (UTC).

you've recently deleted an image of Azmi Bishara. i've looked up the "replaceable" documentation, and i have to say that there is no way you can find a replacement free image of him voting and i request the image re-instated. Jaakobou 10:46, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
What was your justification for deleting that one? No source? He certainly qualifies as a recluse and I do not think a fair-use image would be replaceable if it were properly sourced and credited. I cannot find the image talk page (perhaps it should be policy that any admin deleting a replaceable image move any discussion of that issue to the talk page if it is not already there) so I can't tell if a decision was reached that an image of a film director who has it in his contract that no official photos are to be taken of him during production, nor does he have to make public appearances to promote the film, and gives no interviews or otherwise appears in public is "reasonably replaceable" by a free image. Daniel Case 15:41, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
I'm guessing you wanted a source to prove the reclusiveness. I found one and put it in; I think you can undelete the image and put it back in the article. Daniel Case 15:51, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
Hi Angr. Sorry to bother you. I'm having trouble figuring out what I should do about an image that's been claimed to be fair use but clearly falls outside fair use guidelines, and is also clearly just a scan from a (presumably copyrighted) book (the image in question is Image:MtDNA_Caucasus.png). I guess I'm not sure whether I should take this to Images for Deletion, or list it as a copyright infringement, or how to even list something as having an inappropriate fair use rationale. I know you do a lot of work in this area so I was wondering if you knew. Again, sorry to bother you. Take care, --Miskwito 23:35, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
you deleted an image of lou fellingham, although this photo was released as a press shot in a press package to people, including myself. photos on pages of other christian artists such as vicky beeching still exist, and i tried to post it up under the same license? i may have posted it up under the wrong one, it was meant to be under "promotional"
thanks
I recently constructed an attempt at a more organized WikiProject Theoretical Linguistics open tasks template, but I haven't received any responses on the project talk page. If you could take a look at the test: User:Mitchoyoshitaka/WPTL todo and comment on it, I'd greatly appreciate any feedback or criticism! mitcho/芳貴 02:41, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
Hi, you recently deleted the images Image:JolieInterrupted.jpg and Image:JolieHackers.jpg for the article Angelina Jolie, because "there is no critical commentary on the film in the article", though both films are discussed with a paragraph in the text, citing critical reviews of the NY Times, Variety and movie critic Roger Ebert. I'm curious what you consider critical commentary, if that doesn't apply. -- EnemyOfTheState 01:13, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
Hey, I've had two pictures deleted off my boss' wikipedia. I understand why the first one was deleted, but I took careful measures to ensure that the second one was properly labeled. These are pictures taken by the Missouri House of Representatives official photogropher and they are public property, let alone the fact that it is a picture of the man who the page is for. What exactly to I need to do to keep these pictures from being deleted.
BTW, I have read the requirements for posting a picture on Wikipedia, that's why I took so much effort on the second post.
-DJK403
Don't accuse me of something I didn't do - I didn't delete anything, all I did was fix the tag as it was not an image of a living person. I don't have time to fix this up at the moment, and from what I can read, there's time for this to be left for the moment until I can. JRG 07:29, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
Hi I noticed that you deleted the image on the article on Anu malik. Why exactly did you delete it? Is it because it was copy right?
Regards,AJ-India 07:44, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
Who are you? "Mr I am a big admin so I will delete your image" You deleted a fair use image on the Iian Stables page several times now. This is a publicly available image so no reason to remove.
Would you check out my language and tell me what you think?Cameron Nedland 02:22, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
Hi I noticed you have deleted two images from the Stairway to Heaven page. The message you added was "rm imgs that are not fair use here". Could you please explain why the images were not fair use? Thanks Edelmand 14:53, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
I totally appreciate the work of the editors on Wikipedia. I love the site, have read, edited and bought the t-shirt. However I do feel that the way images are treated on Wikipedia is confusing and does not at all encourage people to unloads images. It also seems random which ones are deleted. Take two examples. I uploaded a photo of Sara McGreavy from a newspaper site and used the reason that there is no freely available image. Although I can't see where on earth anyone except Sarah's friends and family are going to get a decent photo of her I accept that I didn't have any permission to upload it and accept the deletion. Now the deletion that I am questioning is of Darren Tate. Here there is no reason to delete yet it was deleted by yourself. Again I am not going to get angry and be an idiot but what was the reasoning behind this and how on earth is it possible that any image could possibly ever get on Wikipedia if this one can't? Thanks for working and keeping Wikipedia going. I await your reply! :-) Cls14 23:33, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
Hello Mr. Angr: I opened a Wikipedia account and uploaded photos to the St. Anthony Hall website, and included changes in the text. The photos which I uploaded were pictures that have been in my possession since 1982, given to me when I was at Trinity College, the Epsilon Chapter. The collection includes photos from other chapters. Included in the upload was a photo that I personally took of the Epsilon Chapter a few years back after a second tower had been built to cover the addition of an external fire escape mandated by the city of Hartford.
The images I uploaded were deleted by you. They have no copyright information associated with them and if anything were privately published by the fraternity many years ago. Two of the images I know are beyong the time limitations of copyright imfringement, and one was my creation. After reading the mandatory rules you ask people to read before posting a note, I can't see where I broke the law or infringed on someone's property. Also, what have the uploaders of the other images on the same page done so that you don't take their images down? As I stated I am a graduate member of that organization trying to improve their wikipage, that's all. Please clarify and advise. --Marco Medrano, New York, 5-25-07
Sorry to bother you, but I see that you have an interest in Irish phonology. Maybe you'd know if the following is correct?:
I used the International Phonetic Alphabet for Irish page as a guide but wouldn't be certain I fully comprehended it or got all pronunciations correct. It's for the article about Derry City Football Club. Thanks. Danny InvincibleTalk|Edits 03:31, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
Hi Angr,
I'm following the recommendations of the SIL font designers in using the non-syllabic subdiacritic in place of the extra-short superdiacritic for letters with ascenders, parallel to the use of an overring for gee and engma. Neither are actual IPA symbols for 'flap', so both are equally ad hoc. (When you raise other diacritics of gee or engma, you also change their official values: the diacritics for breathy and creaky phonation become homographs with centered and nasalized, for example, but that's accepted.) This came up with SIL when several of us proposed new symbols for their PUI for the Gentium, Charis, & Doulos fonts. They accepted five, but rejected our proposals for dedicated symbols for palatal and velar lateral flaps, with the recommendation that those be indicated with breves - rotated below the letter in the case of the palatal. This was a serious consideration for a linguist working on Iwaidja. I'm going to switch back, because the symbols aren't legible the way we have them now, and the analogy with devoiced etc. gee in intuitive given the context of the article. (Don't mean to step on your toes, but I don't have much Wiki time, am distracted by other matters, and am afraid things will get left undone if I don't take care of them immediately.) kwami 06:21, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:Blackchristmasos.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use.

I see that you deleted this image as "replacable fair use" on April 27th. Do you mind explaining why you think the image is replacable? I disagree, and explained why the image was not replacable and appropriately fair use when I uploaded it. It would have been helpful if you could have put a heads up on my talk page, or the talk page for the article. Looking forward to your explanation. Crypticfirefly 03:32, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
I expect that there was a reason for this action... or did User:J_Milburn come crying to you in an email. Frankly, the rather childish obsession in deleting "offensive things" that's been going around on wikipedia lately has resulted in a series of headaches for me. This is hardly an isolated incident, as I've seen countless articles become "christianized" over that last several months (too many to count here). Therefore, I ask why?

Doesn't Smacky have better things to do than this? —Angr 20:37, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
So, are we going to undelete the image? Or do you want to do it through deletion review (not that I'm imputing any misconduct to you or anything, I just thought you might want some sort of consensus-building discussion before doing so). Daniel Case 16:18, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
for the semi-protection: it was getting tiresome to keep reverting people. I don't mind changing things when we've had a discussion about why the current text is wrong, but it's just silly if one side's putting their case and then the other's just ignore them and making changes anyway.

Thanks for uploading Image:Aninconvenienttruth.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Jesse Viviano 02:40, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
I saw your work on the plot template, and the discussion about the copyright violation potentional of plot sections. I've recently proposed a merger of 40+ individual television episodes into their respective seasonal pages. I won't go into detail about everything, because if you choose to look at the discussion I'd rather you had an unfeathered opinion on it. If you can, thanks. If you can't, no biggy.

I'm new to uploading information to wikipedia, and I just realized that Image:Mackintosh_Muggleton.jpg was originally deleted by an admin >< and not by me messing up somewhere in editing. Would I be correct in that I would have to contact yahoo and get permission to use the photo they host at [[1]] or did I improperly format the said picture? Perhaps it was (After reading these posts) that I didn't explain enough about the photo / why it would be considered free use for being a red carpet premier photo? I'm a tad unclear, even after reading the links posted above, what the rules are on photos of a living person. All the same, It would be preferred to use this photo as there is limited photos of this new actor and no decent photos ( not even a close up..)in the press kit.
___ I have done some more research on the photo and apparently it was originally released for promoting the movie in a press kit, thus it would be allowed for wikipedia use? ( now I have to figure out how to format it) Thank you for the information =)
It appears that the image I uploaded of Cheryl Wheeler has been deleted. I didn't see any reason for this deletion, and didn't receive any warning that the image would be deleted. It was my understanding that the person who uploaded the image would be notified before deletion.
The image in question is available on her web site for download. The purpose of those images are to promote Cheryl, and can be used by venues for advertising purposes, concert notes, newspaper articles, etc. Most images include hi-res for printing as well as low-res for web sites. The only requirement is that the official web site is referenced. It seems to me that use with Wikipedia falls into the intent of those images, and the official site is referenced in the external links section of the article.
You can look for yourself at the web site: [2] I would appreciate an explanation of what needs to be done for the image to be used for Wikipedia. I have added your talk page to my watchlist, so you can reply here if you wish. -- wrp103 (Bill Pringle) (Talk) 22:51, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
What source do you have that shows Zuzana Licko with the diacritic? The Emigre website uses Licko throughout. [3] Curious: can you show a source?
Good Morning, Angr. A few days ago you removed a picture and edited a box on the entry for Gwen Shamblin. The user Sqwikiklean then undid your work in good faith; this user thought you were a vandal. I did at first too, until I read your talk page. Now I realise that you are an admin and are following rules of which both Sqwikiklean and I were unaware. Could you come back over to Gwen Shamblin and fix the infobox and picture again, this time with an explanation for Sqwiki? I'm afraid this user thinks I am overediting and has accused me of "ownership"; by asking you to fix the image again, I am trying to avoid further ownership claims. I would really like to make sure Gwen Shamblin meets all wiki standards, as the page is often altered by Gwen's fans. Efkeathley 11:57, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
I'm afraid the user SquikiKlean was indeed angered last night over further edits to Gwen Shamblin. This person keeps insisting that they never deleted information, although the logs clearly show otherwise, and SquikiKlean is leaving long rants on my talk page. Could you point me in the right direction for help or arbitration?Efkeathley 14:11, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
How can I find out who has the copyrights to that image? The only info I can seem to find on the subject was that it was taken in England in the 60's and seen in various music publications. A possible source might be image source but i'm not sure. Any help with this situation would be gladly appreciated. Thanks, Patman2648 08:35, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
Hi Angr,
Just a modest suggestion, which you can of course decline if you like... There's no dialect map article. I figured you'd be a good person to write one so I'm dropping a hint. :-) It would be good to have two illustrations: one stylized/simple (Rhenish fan?) and one more detailed... I'm gonna say something on the Linguist List intern's talk page too... thanks Ling.Nut 15:16, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:StarTrekEnterprise_Cast.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please see the discussion to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.
