I want to publicly express my strong support for you in the totally unjustified case that's been brought against you. You are absolutely right to fight the circumvention of process by those admins who seem to think that "BLP" means "when in doubt, delete". Although I haven't always agreed with your stance, I'd like to also repeat the statement I've made at the RfArb talk page:
If the ArbCom makes a judgment against you, I may well consider resigning from Wikipedia in protest. I don't like the way the encyclopedia is going. Walton Assistance! 18:59, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
Re [1] I was curious just how long it'd take you to fix that. Night Gyr ( talk/ Oy) 19:20, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
You think maybe we should start a new team to track down people with these dubious BLPs written about them and ask them what they think of their articles? Night Gyr ( talk/ Oy) 19:43, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
You promised to get to it by Wednesday night. You clearly have no shortage of time, given your posting here. The way, the truth, and the light 20:58, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
Oh wikidrama (see my talk and WP:ANI) Night Gyr ( talk/ Oy) 21:03, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
Nah, it's not worth it, just an amusing misunderstanding. It felt like FCYTravis was out to get me though. (since he said "email her!" and then "OH NO YOU'RE GONNA EMAIL DESYSOP") Night Gyr ( talk/ Oy) 22:22, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
I just opened an RfC on my conduct and actions during the dispute surrounding the Gary Weiss article. You participated in the AfD for that article. The RfC is here and I welcome any comments or questions you might have. CLA 23:34, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
I'd give you a barnstar but I'm too lazy to dig up an appropriate picture, so accept this star as a token of my appreciation for your respect for Wikipedia's principles and your own:

I am not going to explain 3RR to you, I am sure you understand this rule already. Please follow it, I don't think a block is needed at this point, but please do not violate this rule(it applies to us all). (H) 15:39, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
DRV has endorsed the removal of the meme information per WP:BLP. I know you don't agree - but there it is. Don't reinsert it, or you will be blocked.-- Docg 20:57, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
As so ordered by DRV, Image:Cogny Castries Navarre.jpg is again nominated for deletion. Please see the debate at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion/2007 June 4#Image:Cogny Castries Navarre.jpg. Regards, howcheng { chat} 21:30, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I know we have our differences, but I hope we can discuss them with respect. One or two of your most recent comments in discussion cause me particular concern, because they don't sound like you at all. I think if you think about them a bit you'll agree that they don't show you in your best light.
The particular statements I'm concerned about are as follows:
In those comments, you overstep the line, calling those who disagree with you "dishonest" and saying that they "lie" about you and other matters, and that they make "blatantly false statements". This kind of behavior isn't right for Wikipedia, is it? -- Tony Sidaway 14:12, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
All editors should interact in as civil a fashion as possible. Newyorkbrad 14:32, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
It's OK to disagree strongly, and it's even OK to use strong words. But from a purely utilitarian perspective, Jeff, surely you can see how it damages your case to go around calling people liars instead of recognizing that there's an actual difference of opinion. People can interpret things differently without one of them having to be dishonest, and, no offense, but you come off sounding like a crank sometimes with your rabid, everyone-but-me-is-wrong style of communication. You come off sounding like someone who's here for the fun of arguing, rather than someone trying to present their position in a persuasive way. Friday (talk) 14:38, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
There is a lot to be said for being calm here. Let me propose two hypotheses:
Don't you see that under either hypothesis reacting as calmly as possible is the best action? -- AnonEMouse (squeak) 16:17, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
Hello, I've just discovered your GA review. I was wondering what you'd like more citing for? There's very little information on this topic, due to the fact it was one of over 100 episodes produced that year for Sesame Street, and it never aired. As such, there's not many public records to cite. -- Zanimum 16:28, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
Nice job with Benchley. Sorry I couldn't pitch in. Real life and such.-- Silverscreen 03:05, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
Hi Jeff,
I'm not sure where on the talk page you wished me to comment, so I'll do so here. I closed the DRV with the intention to validate the BLP concerns as they existed at the time. My conclusion wasn't just about sources; but also, about the spirit of moral rectitude BLP is intended to require in cases where someone's fame is neither of their own making, nor desired by him/her. (This is the all-important distinction between Stokke and QZ -- I still maintain that QZ deserved an AfD on the question of whether BLP concerns were quasi- estopped by QZ's alleged attempt to profit from his fame.)
Having said all that, consensus can change, and no DRV can serve to bar discussion of an issue forever. I think it would require really powerful evidence for the AfD's closer to take account of meme-notability (in light of the DRV), but it is not impossible, especially if circumstances have changed through the production of a large number of new sources. I leave that issue in the hands of the AfD closer, and will very likely support whatever conclusion s/he comes to. Incidentally, since I have !voted "delete" in opening the nomination, I am disqualifed from closing the AfD. Best wishes, Xoloz 17:30, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
Hi Jeff, Have you seen this type of blank and protect strategy before? See Carla Baron. This seems like overkill to me and but it is a wiki policy area that I think you have a lot of experience in. For reference Psychic profiler ( talk · contribs) is Carla Baron and she was complaining that the article had links to a web site that was critical of her role in the non-fictional TV show she hosts as a 'psychic profiler'. David D. (Talk) 19:26, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
If my memory serves me, you are/were a part of the ATT working group. Is anything happening with it? I'm getting kind of tired looking at the big question mark on the policy page. Rockstar ( T/ C) 21:47, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
Am I doing something wrong here? Why am I being targetted? Any input you can provide would be appreciated. McKay 15:22, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
I really don't like the current climate of "Admins can do anything as long as they claim BLP". Especially when interpretations of this vary. Here's a turn of events that will probably piss you off, I lack the time and energy to properly follow this up though to a satisfactory conclusion though:
You can catch up with some musings here and here. - hahnch e n 17:17, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
I've jotted some thoughts down at User:JoshuaZ/Thoughts on BLP and I'd be interested in what you think about them. JoshuaZ 03:24, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
FYI, I've sent you an email. JoshuaZ 02:29, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
Odd, I removed the protection a minute or two after the DRV, so I can't see why it's currently still treating it as protected. I'll look into it. -- pgk 14:32, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
I've been following your actions through the whole Stokke mess. When I saw you brought it to WP:DRV a second time, I was tempted to give you a lecture about disruptive behavior, but I think I'll try something more positive and give you a few hints on how to be a more effective debater.
Your debating strategy seems to be based on the idea that more is better. You respond to virtually every statement that somebody makes. I count 39 comments from you between the 2nd AfD page (13), its talk page (7), and the article's talk page (19). That does't count who knows how many comments on the first DRV, and random user talk pages. Now you've moved onto trying another DRV, and when that was nipped in the bud, arguing your case on WP:ANI.
All of your comments said pretty much the same thing. After a while, people get sick of it and stop paying attention. You will be much more effective at winning people over to your side if you say less, and make each thing you say be worth listening to. -- RoySmith (talk) 15:07, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
Clyde, my feeling about building an encyclopedia is that deletion of articles like this gives WR and the like the perfect opportunity to attack the encyclopedia in a harmful way. DGG 20:03, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
-- howcheng { chat} 17:29, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
I just realized that this edit could have been taken the wrong way. I was commenting on the general idea of calling a spade a spade, whereas we often pussyfoot around too much. It was most definitely not directed toward you specifically. I apologize if my wording was not clear and you or anyone else gathered a meaning I did not intend. Raymond Arritt 00:00, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
I know there are philosophical differences and quite a lot of heat here, but what the hell kind is statement is that [2]?? That's stepping over a line you should not cross? And frankly, I'm surprised at you - you are normally quite civil even when you are brisk and bad tempered. You 'can't wait' for someone to get hurt? Please consider retracting that remark. I'll assume your temper just got the better of you, but I think an apology is in order. Don't you?-- Docg 00:37, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

KISS AND MAKE UP. ( messedrocker ⢠talk) 01:47, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
I think Badlydrawnjeff just meant by "pissing off the wrong person" a situation similar to the on that caused him to resign under a cloud of controversy. -- MichaelLinnear 02:10, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
I hope Jeff doesn't mind my posting here. If my observations are unhelpful, then please remove them.
I think I can understand where Jeff's coming from. Tony is a pretty disruptive guy. In my interactions with him, I've seen very little indication that he's open to adjusting his approach. I've suggested ways to him that he could generate less drama, and he's indicated that he thinks I'm asking him to coddle people's irrational fantasies and that "Wikipedia is not a mental hospital". Apparently, what I see as basic communication skills, he sees as "coddling".
I'd love it if Tony were to somehow learn that it's possible to be just as effective as he is - no, much more effective than he is - without pissing off so many people. If it takes "pissing off the wrong person" to wake Tony up to that reality, then I guess the best a friend could hope for him is that he do so, and soon. What's the best way to teach someone who doesn't want to learn?
To be fair, most of what I just said about Tony also applies to Jeff. They're both incredibly stubborn, and prone to poor communication when dealing with perspectives that differ from their own. They're also both very smart, very committed to Wikipedia, and quite often right, although they both manage to undermine a lot of what they attempt. - GTBacchus( talk) 02:04, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
For God's sake, what is the matter with you all? This whole situation is ridiculous and, frankly, I think both sides know it. We have a lot of Wikipedia's most experienced contributors slinging mud at each other like petulant children. As an outsider, I see the following (in no particular order):
The whole BLP thing (which, in my opinion, is being made far too black and white) is getting lost in the noise. Yes, we need a policy to cover rapid deletion of unsourced attack articles. Yes, we need to take "do no harm" into consideration. No, we don't need to use BLP to do that if the articles are sourced and neutral - doing so undermines valid uses of BLP. Maybe we need a separate policy on ethically-inspired deletions... but nobody seems to be proposing that, you're all too happy to yell and stamp your feet and pick up on every little thing that your opponents say.
So, I won't expect this comment to make any difference whatsoever (in fact I fully expect everyone will either claim they're blameless, tell me I don't know what I'm talking about, or point out the vital thing I missed that makes it all justifiable).
Fine, I probably regret wasting 5 minutes writing this... I'll leave you all to get on with it now. Just bear in mind that you are, collectively, kicking up a ludicrous fuss which is likely to do more harm and reduce Wikipedia's credibility far more than the presence or absence of an article about a high-school athlete or a fat Chinese kid. Your bickering is very visible, very distasteful and very offputting to people who just want to write a decent encyclopaedia and give it away. Think about it, please. -- YFB ¿ 02:47, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
Jeff, I have to admit that I don't understand the dichotomy you are drawing, at all. Newyorkbrad 01:04, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
And I was just about to notify you. I shouldn't have to explain, but your incivility lately has been beyond what would normally be tolerated from most users. I have therefore blocked you for a week. -- Core desat 02:45, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
Should be un-autoblocked now. Friday (talk) 02:59, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
We don't need a grand drama, with everyone being either a hero or a villain. People instead tend to be somewhere in between. Jeff, the reason people keep "preaching" to you is that you should change your behavior. Yes, other people should change theirs also, but this doesn't excuse yours. Friday (talk) 03:13, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
Jeff, want to talk? I know we haven't always gotten along but I'm sort of on the outside looking in on this one, and having been in these guys' shoes before, maybe I can explain some things to you that would help defuse all of this. -- Cyde Weys 06:35, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
[4] - love the edit summary. Never mind, we all lose it sometimes. Guy ( Help!) 07:21, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
Did you post this? Although the anon addresses you, he also signs off as you; see the second comment. SlimVirgin (talk) 17:58, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
I would be very surprised if Badlydrawnjeff was using any sockpuppets. -- Cyde Weys 19:09, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
Hello Bdj/Archive11, I just wanted to thank you for giving your comments at my recent RFA.

Jeff, I'm blocking you for civility problems. Comments like this and following it up with [5] are not acceptable and frankly hurt rather than help your cause. JoshuaZ 03:00, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Obviously false. Hardly worth it.

(multiple edit conflicts) Although I find the tone of Jeff's comments to be well below the standard I would like to expect from an editor of his experience, I do not believe they require a block, nor that the block is likely to be helpful to the overall situation. I will not act unilaterally, but my input is to reverse. Newyorkbrad 03:31, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
I read: Comments like this and following it up with [9] are not acceptable and frankly hurt rather than help your cause. I have no comment on the second half of this (starting "and") or the motivation for this block. Of the two diffs, the former strikes me as entirely acceptable: Jeff's complaining about an idea, not a person. The second strikes me as arguably ever so slightly uncivil, in an infinitesimal kind of way: nowhere near the kind of mudflinging ("moron", "nazi", "asshole", etc.) that rightly prompts blocks. -- Hoary 03:32, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
Jeff, I strongly endorse Joshua's observations. As for inclusionism, it isn't dead just because in a relatively small number of cases we also must be sensitive to other considerations. Newyorkbrad 03:48, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
I think most anyone who's been around a while has had several things not go their way - probably even things they felt strongly about. This doesn't mean we have to quit or lose confidence in the project as a whole, this just means there's lots of people involved who have different opinions on things. Whenever there's a difference of opinion, someone's not going to be happy. Friday (talk) 18:12, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
Right now, I'm seriously reconsidering my place in this project. It's one thing to get angry about Brian Peppers and take a couple days off in a less-than-mature fashion, it's entirely another to feel completely unwelcome because of the influence of, frankly, some of the most horrible human beings I've ever had the pleasure of encountering. I don't need respect, I don't need to be well-liked. I do, however, deserve some basic courtesy. I've earned that much. When a random asshole can troll an entire project to kingdom come in a blatant power play to try and retrieve any "glory" he had, and he's applauded for it, there's a problem. When we completely lose sight of this project in favor of shunting good data off to sites that pay the two people who control it, or start actively catering to trolls because of some warped, unrealistic sense of "dignity," it makes me wonder if this is really the project for me. This will never be the project it can be, I resigned myself to that fact a long time ago. But for it to not even come close to the project it should resemble? That's a crime. I fear the latter, and I don't know if I want to be on board for that. -- badlydrawnjeff talk 22:33, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
If you want to have your little meta discussions, spam someone else's talk page. I don't need to be drawn back here by people sending me e-mails to see the bullshit I saw. -- badlydrawnjeff talk 19:58, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

I'm starting this discussion here because it seems that recent edits regarding the state of this user page have been in disagreement and the solution to that is to achieve consensus. I suggest removing the content at the head of the user page as it doesn't contribute to the goal of producing an encyclopedia. Sancho 19:56, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
A "{{
prod}}" template has been added to the article
Frank Westmore, suggesting that it be deleted according to the
proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the article may not satisfy Wikipedia's
criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "
What Wikipedia is not" and
Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on
its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the
proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the
speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to
Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if
consensus to delete is reached.

Have you considered writing books, if you don't already? You'd get paid, and wouldn't have to deal with folks looking to throw authoratative (??) weight around just to pass the time. With your research and writing talent, you could be the next Barbara Tuchman!
Anyway, I don't mean to be patronizing, but I hope you're not bummed out. I mean, you know as well as I do that you've got to be smarter than any yahoo who thinks that your recycling of DRV's overrides the fact that you're in the top single digits of people on this project who actually write articles. I wish I had a fraction of the talent you've got for writing biographies, and if I did, I'd give the wannabe PR-agents a merry belly laugh and never look back.
Well, whatever happens good luck, long life and many children etc., and maybe I'll see your name in a bookstore someday ;-) Milto LOL pia 07:37, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
Very sorry to see you go - all the best Johnbod 10:41, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
Jeff, I'm glad to see that you are back here at least reading and responding to posts. I agree with you more than I disagree with you and support your position in much of what I read at ArbCom; however, I can't fully support your approach to the process and definitely am disappointed in your vulgar post above. If you are going to leave a project that you loved, please leave cleanly and respectfully. Try to learn from the criticism. I have been through my life somewhat volatile and controversial as well, but have learned that falling on your sword is only effective in old B movies, and martyrs are soon forgotten by all but zealots and the clergy. Please come back to work when you are ready. -- Kevin Murray 14:21, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
Just read thought the case, what a joke. Every diff I clicked on was reasonable but portrayed as "eggregious" or "uncivil". It looks like you were only out to contribute and follow policies, yet you were hounded like an high-speed page move vandal. I see a block from JoshuaZ on the weakest possible grounds that no admin is brave enough to undo, lest it be construed as questioning Josh's judgment, as if winning a popularity contest years ago makes one's judgment unimpeachable! The gall of the gutless to come and comment on why the block is deserved is sobering. I can't tell if you quit or if you were banned, but either way, the wikipedia "community", including the vaunted arbitration committee, has shown its utter fallibility. Best wishes wherever you do contribute. CarlosRodriguez 16:15, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
Might be we disagreed a lot, but I'm sure going to miss having you around. The very best of luck to you. Seraphimblade Talk to me 18:15, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:M5downwithwilco.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read carefully the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content and then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Bigr Tex 18:22, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Annemccueroll.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. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
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. Videmus Omnia 01:07, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
I don't think I ever ran into anything you worked/commented on, but I recently stumbled across your RfA, which led me to go back and read everything it dealt with. Anyway, you need to come back to Wikipedia - at least under a new username. Regards, Milton 01:29, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Debbieschlussel.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:
{{Replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.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 any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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. Videmus Omnia 04:56, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Dcucenter.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. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 04:59, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
All the best mate... The Rambling Man 20:44, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Autumndefensepromo.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. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
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 non-free media 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. MER-C 07:07, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Hey Jeff, thanks for the rewrite on Toad the Wet Sprocket. Keegan talk 06:31, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:Blackswanband.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.
As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{ GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{ non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 05:54, 29 July 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MER-C 05:54, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
You participated in the first AFD, so you may be interested in the second AFD over the recreated article. THF 12:31, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:Blackswanband.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:

A {{
prod}} template has been added to the article
Nadagate, suggesting that it be deleted according to the
proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's
criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "
What Wikipedia is not" and
Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on
its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the
proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the
speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to
Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if
consensus to delete is reached. If you endorse deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please tag it with {{
db-author}}.

Between December 14, 2005 and June 7, 2007, I vandalized Wikipedia under my previous username (YechielMan) and under various IP addresses and alternate accounts.
I recently reviewed the contribution logs of all the accounts and IP addresses that I can recall having used. My goal was to identify all of the intentionally harmful edits I caused, and to apologize to the individual users who reverted those edits, or warned me, or blocked me.
Hence, I apologize to you and to all of the following users:
Thank you for maintaining the integrity of Wikipedia against everyone who has attacked it, including my old self.
If you wish to respond, please do so at my talk page.
Best regards, Shalom ( Hello • Peace) 19:26, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
An image that you uploaded or altered, Image:Babbpressbook.JPG, has been listed at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree images because its copyright status is disputed.

You are welcome to add comments to its entry at the discussion if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. — An gr 20:47, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Tuataraband.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media 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 media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:
{{
di-replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media 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 description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use media which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast ( talk) 00:42, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
