Hey Killiondude. I'm not sure if approaching you or going to Deletion Review is the right way to go here, but since Deletion Review (which I've never done before) suggests talking to the administrator first, I figured I'd approach you first. I made a page for Laura Kirkpatrick (contestant in America's Next Top Model) in Notepad, but when I went to copy-and-paste it in an actual page, I found the page had already been deleted. (I didn't participate in that RFD discussion because I didn't know about it until today, when it was too late.) I think the page should be made, and was hoping you could take a look at my proposed page and see what you think. (I made it as a subpage to my user page.) As I said, I didn't see the previously deleted page, but I imagine it was an unsourced stub made by fans of the show, which I know is common among reality TV show contestant pages. I think Kirkpatrick warrants an article because not only does my page meet Wikipedia standards (inline citations, verifiable sources, comprehensive coverage), but there are elements of Kirkpatrick that distinguish her from other contestants and I believe establish notability for her. Firstly, she is the runner-up of the series, which by itself is almost enough. But she has also won a poll hosted by the show which determined she was the fan favorite of the season, a fact I've cited in reliable, verifiable, secondary sources. Also, my proposed page already has information about her continued post-show modeling career, including her job offer from Bankable Productions. Also, Kirkpatrick's official blog is featured on the website of the Kentucky newspaper, The Advocate-Messenger, which makes her a writer with a state-wide and nation-wide platform. I think all these things, coupled with the pre- and post-show info I have on her, indicates she is worthy of her own article, and I think if I had been able to add this info to the page before it was deleted, I'd argue it wouldn't have been deleted at all. Is there any way we can reconsider blocking this page from future creation and to put my new article in its place? If you like, I'd be happy to seek comments from the people who voted for deletion and see if we can form a new consensus about my proposed article. Let me know. Thanks! — Hunter Kahn (c) 18:38, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

I do not understand why this photograph was deleted. This was a Christmas Card sent to me by my friend Allan Sandage 25 years ago. As such, it was a personal gift to me and I am the owner. I scanned the photograph and put it on the page. Please explain why the deletion was made.
Puzhok 03:36, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
Writing a book and giving it to a friend is completely different than taking a photograph yourself and giving it to a friend as a gift. If a friend gives me his book with no copyright restrictions as a gift, I can copy it as I see fit, provided my intent is to not copy it in a fashion as to claim economic or intellectual value of the item. Of course, if the book is published it is copyrighted. But if the book has not been published and copyrighted, I can claim fair use of the whole material unless I willing know that my actions will interfere with the intended use of the book - like making money. I know this because I was curator for a scientific library and had to organize and copyright historical images in astronomy. If the card sent to me had the logo of Microsoft, clearly this would be a copyright violation. But if there was no restriction stated on the use of the book or the photo, I have the right to copy it and distribute it, provided that my intent is not to derive benefit from the distribution if no other restriction was placed on its use. Since the Christmas Card was sent to me as a gift, other friends, and professional colleges, I think it is in the public domain.
Or let me put it to you another way. If my friend Pablo Picasso creates a print and gives me a copy as a gift, provided that he did not copyright the image, I am free to copy the work of art as a photo and distribute it because it is mine. A Christmas card is legally a gift and I am the owner. If I scan a picture out of a book, I am not the owner and cannot distribute it. I shall appeal your restrictive opinion of the usage. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Puzhok (talk • contribs)
Puzhok, I think you have some misconceptions here. Copyright is fundamentally the right to control copies. Your friend (the same applies to your Picasso) gave you a copy of an image over which they hold the copyright. When you buy or acquire a copy that is all you have gained. You have not gained the right to make more copies as this right remains with the creator. Copyright is created when the work is created—neither your friend nor anyone else needs to specify that an image is copyrighted....it simply is from the moment of creation. The card is a gift and is yours. The right to make copies was not a gift and is not yours. Does this make the matter clearer ? - Peripitus (Talk) 02:35, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for help, i have taken few data from mapzones.org and create graph some graph data don't taken from mapzones.org like http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:US01A0130045_Age.png which are completely taken from cencus this age chart don't found in mapzones.org so i only sourced census site. i have linked both website where data and concept taken from census and mapzones.org.

Please read my last comment at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Spam#mapzones.org
so above all fector (and others) my conclusion is that mapzones.org got negative effect from my work.
i have tell many times that chart concept were taken from mapzones.org, the data is same because they and i used same source (census) so my chart and their chart are exactly the same (only color and other information were different), if i get concept from that sites and some data (like state data not found in same census page and all data found in single mapzones page and also help full to user's verification, i also verified that data wih census thats why i linked both sites)
for same county age chart http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:US53A033_Age.png were not available, so i added single source.
Once again thanks for help, now i decide not to work for wikipedia. Worldenc (talk) 07:56, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

Hi, would you mind just expanding on your reasons for leaving the Cup? I'm assuming it is to do with the new point reassignments? J Milburn (talk) 10:20, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
I've responded over at the Inland Empire page, and tagged the WT:CAL side as moved and archived to keep it all in one spot. Assuming MissionInn.Jim or House1090 decides in favor of it I'll go ahead with the switch. Could you add Palm Springs, California and Riverside, California to your watchlist, since House1090 and PurpleBackpack89 are edit warring over the importance ratings on those pages, and use the admin tools if they're needed. Also I think this all started at Talk:Log Cabin Wilderness Camp, where I redirected the page, and disagreed with him when he reverted, and then after I responded at the talk page there, and at another discussion I had just commented at (Wikipedia talk:WikiProject California#Mount Whitney importance rating), and so I'm getting a bit of a talk page stalking/general hostility vibe from him at the moment. I know he means well and has the best intentions for California subjects in the long run (AGF, etc.), but if I start losing my cool, in this let me know if I need a clue adjustment. -Optigan13 (talk) 09:16, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

I closed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Thomas K. Dye as merge. User:Barberio disputed this close and opened a deletion review, which was closed as the admin argued that merge closes are not considered at DRV.

I received your message about this jpg file. As the file data clearly says the image is from 1918 and, being a Royal Navy image over 70 years old (91 years old to be exact), is in the public domain per the license attached to the image (unless you really think that a 120-year-old somewhere will come forward and say "I took it in 1918 and own the copyright.") The image was scanned from a hard-copy book published in the 1980s, in which the source for it is not given, another clue that it is in the public domain as their is no information regarding a copyright holder. I could enter the publication information for thye book if you would like, but that still will provide no image copyright information because none is in the book and it seems irrelevant. I don't really understand why Wikipedia would delete an image under these circumstances. I am open to any ideas you might have for ascertaining the copyright holder of this 91-year-old unattributed image and requesting permission for its use, but that strikes me as a wild goose chase. Per the license tag, it also appears to be completely unnecessary. Can suspend deletion for the time being while you or someone else at Wikipedia advises me on this? Previous contacts I have had with Wikipedia photo montiors have resulted in them saying that the images are fine as they are and do not need to be deleted.

Hello. Just a heads up to say I undeleted this file that you'd deleted earlier in case you're ever wondering why it has reappeared.

Gotta' tell ya' something about your edit to Claudia Christian because I think it's hilarious. I highly disagree with this edit and won't revert it: This is a 0RR. My objection is purely on aesthetic grounds, and therefor personal, not in the scope of "editorship". I think the other picture is better because it presents the subject in a more natural setting.
But man I've got my finger hovering over the "undo" button. I think you may have challenged me to figure out a justified way to get the other image in the article (one comes to mind, just not sure I have the motivation to research and cite it properly). —Aladdin Sane (talk) 18:59, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

Why in God's name did you delete my archive page when I had been told that if I fixed the page it would not be deleted? I didn't have time to save any of the stuff that was in there and was not a problem...now I have no record of any of what I may need for future reference. Besides all of that - there was nothing wrong with the content. It was just archivable stuff. Shouldn't you have at least let me know it was going to be deleted before you did it? As far as I knew, I complied with what was stated could be done. No one communicated one way or the other what the decision had been or even if there was one. --SkagitRiverQueen 16:30, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Dear Killiondude,
Usage depends upon the CREDIBLE source cited. Wikipedia has not established itself as a credible source in my view on anything because of so many flaws that include improper grammar, misspellings, inaccuracies, and scientific, cultural, religious and/or political biases, etc., which I keep a file of examples on.
I didn't read your reference because anything Wikipedia says should first be looked at skeptically, for the reasons noted and for which I have shining examples. For me, there is no debate on title and entitled, but for Wikipedia as with so much with Wikipedia, well.......
Of course, you can find so-called credible sources that will back up your archaic point.
Debate the verb/adjective myopia all you want, but I'll tell you where there is no debate: the real world.
If an experienced, credible and capable editor sees you writing entitled in reference to a book title, you will NOT get the job. I say this as a longtime editor who has turned down job candidates on this fact alone because it shows me they do not have a proper grasp of current English.
Do you know the difference between more than and over? a lot and alot? afterward and afterwards? a historical epoch and an historical epoch? etc. Of course, those are all debatable as well! Have fun.

Nice job on writing that article on the hotel. I've made a few modifications. Incidentally, I also have Ernest Hemingway on my watchlist, and I've seen lots of improvements to the article! :-) Mr. Harris, tomorrow I'm going to try to add some verifiable references to the article and try to nominate it for a DYK, of which you would be credited for initially starting the page.

Don't ask me. I merely uploaded the files under appropriate license and with specific permission from the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Later other guys decided to change the license. So ask them why they chose such a license, not me. BTW, the Ministry allowed Wikipedia to use all the files from www.ww2.pl as we please, provided "the graphics are not used contrary to basic aims of Polish foreign policy", which is a vague term denoting "don't upload pics of holocaust victims from our site defaced with a swastika", other than that the pics were PD. //Halibutt 12:17, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
