I forgot to list this one with the others - maybe you could comment? It's listed here. Thanks, John Smith's 23:16, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You also didn't comment on Image:Nanjingmassacreheads.jpg. I don't know whether that's because you missed it, or weren't sure either way. If you could give feedback on both this and the "behead" picture I'd appreciate it. Or leave a message on my talk page if you're undecided. Thanks, John Smith's 22:34, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The heads one I just missed, and I hadn't gotten around to the other one yet. Thanks for the reminder. howcheng {chat} 23:29, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Np. Thanks for taking the time to comment on both. John Smith's 11:23, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Someone removed a headshot that I put on my dad's page (Tracey Walter). The information telling me that it was removed linked to your name. He owns the headshot and we have the approval of the photographer. I thought I had listed that correctly when I uploaded the photo. Please let me know why you took it down. It took me a VERY long time to figure out how to put it up there. Thanks —The preceding unsigned comment was added by MM62 (talk • contribs) 00:28, 4 July 2007 (UTC).[reply]

This was listed at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree images for more than two weeks without any response from anyone, so we had to conclude that the image was not free content. The image needs to be available for anyone to use for any purpose, including commercial distribution and derivative works. If this is OK with your father or the photographer (whichever one holds the copyright), then please have him write an email to OTRS (see that page for instructions) and that will take care of everything. Once you do that, I will gladly restore the image for you. Hope that helps and let me know if you have any more questions. howcheng {chat} 00:36, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I sent that email today. Will you really be able to restore it? I cannot find the photo anywhere to put it back up as it has been up there for like a year or something and I don't remember at all how to do it. Thanks.

Hi, I saw you archived my last message. See here, so just a reminder in case you missed the message. In case you decided to ignore it, that's fine, I would probably ignore mess like this too. :) Garion96 (talk) 11:11, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Image:Brunokirby2.jpg. Since you participated in the original discussion, I thought you might want to participate in the deletion review. Nv8200p talk 14:18, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

(I think I mistakenly edited your archive 10 to say "flip the switch", but you seem to have gotten the message anyways?)

Everything seems to be working okay. I haven't tested it myself, but I don't see any complaints. I'm gonna change the format of how images are listed as well. You can see the example at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree images/2007 July 3, but basically it should be:

===== [[:Image]] =====
*User text. ~~~~

Fairly simple, but being able to edit the image section directly instead of the whole page is helpful, especially in a large day and you have to search and, ugh. No immediate need to change this, I can do it manually until you get the script figured out. Hopefully people will start doing it if they're listing them manually.

Hi Howcheng, I'm trying to get the Cat article to reflect that the species name is F. silvestris. I use the same arguments as you, with the addition of the recent Science article. My edits are reverted by a couple of bullies who refuse to cough up citations, so if you could, please add your opinion to the talk page. Thanks. Speciate 06:03, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Howcheng, had a suggested addition to the script - adding {{noncommercial}} to an image page and {{Idw-noncom}} to uploader's talk page for non-commercial use only images. Just an idea... Videmus Omnia 14:27, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is it possible to make Wikipedia Main Page your Homepage? Please get back to me on my Talkpage user talk: krummy2

Really sorry to bother you again. I'm not going be able to do image protection for the next several days, until July 10 UTC, so please keep an eye on it for me. Thanks.--Pharos 15:35, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, can you update again? I also re-wrote the hooks for Rieger Orgelbau and Prashant Tamang, so can you make sure they make sense? Let me know if I'm bugging you too much, it just seems like you're usually here around the time I notice that the DYK are late. Rigadoun (talk) 16:31, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Not a problem. I haven't been keeping an eye on DYK lately, having been doing more deletion work at IFD and PUI, but I'm always available to do DYK if I'm around. howcheng {chat} 17:10, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It turns out the hook I provided for Rieger Orgelbau isn't quite accurate, and the user has requested it be changed to his original at WP:ERRORS. On second thought, I agree his is more accurate. Could you help me change the template? Rigadoun (talk) 19:07, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Once again, I fail to understand why the image from Moyie (sternwheeler) is preferred to that from Suvorov's Italian and Swiss expedition. But you should probably know better... --Ghirla^-трёп- 17:29, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't pick them for Next Update this time. You'll want to talk to User:Camptown for this one. howcheng {chat} 17:35, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's about a couple of images such as this one Image:BlairKoizumi.jpg that have been tagged the same way. Does the red template imply that I can remove it if no admin deletes it tomorrow, or do I have to wait for an admin to remove the templates even if the 1 week expires? John Smith's 17:55, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You have to wait for an admin to remove it. The big red template just warns that the earliest it can be deleted is July 5 (i.e., you have until that long to respond to it). Regards, howcheng {chat} 18:00, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

How do you think about the Image:Nanjing1937 BabyOnTracks.jpeg. I think that it is in same condition with the Image:The baby setuped by Capra s staff.jpg. May you help me to put it on the argument? --Hare-Yukai 23:04, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That image will probably be deleted in favor of the known-to-be-free Image:BattleOfShanghaiBaby.gif. howcheng {chat} 23:17, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the note. I'm a little unclear on installation. Am I supposed to be pasting in the full text on the project page or just the abbreviated text on the talk page? Thanks. -- But|seriously|folks  23:08, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just force a reload on your browser. Ctrl-F5 for IE, Ctrl-Shift-R for Firefox. Not sure what it is for Safari, Opera, or KDE. howcheng {chat} 23:14, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Howard...

I wonder if you could do me a favour. I have now determined that it is time for this personna to depart from Wikipedia. There have been a few issues, and an email recently, that convinced me that Gay Cdn should die, metaphorically of course.

If (Who am I kidding...) When I decide to return, I think a fresh start and a new focus on article creation would be in order - let the image work die; it is going to end up take a lawsuit against WP by a copyright holder to get final and proper inforcement of the the non-free image debacle.

On to my request, would you please perminatly ban User:Gay Cdn to prevent any issue with opening a second account or sockpuppet concerns. Keep up the good fight. Thanks.--User:Gay Cdn (talk) (Contr) 15:56, 6 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
