Hey Abu, could you please explain the meaning of "floating image, removed misguided section title"? Do you know who is Maradona? Have you ever played football?Regards.Pat.
Hi Abu,I had a problem with the browser, that's why I couldn't see the photo. Sorry for that.Obrigado.Pat.
Hi, Dissident. The page you created for the kidofspeed is growing fast. I just wanted to know how did you know lena's surname (Filatova). I hadn't being successful in googling for it.--Abu badali 16:28, 1 Apr 2004 (UTC)
Re photo of Pele: I found a site using "Fair Use" images with him plus other celebrities. I'll post it to each as soon as I'm done in a day or so. JillandJack 15:45, 25 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Why does wikipedia keeps saying I have "New Messages", if I don't?
Hello, Rich. I just saw your justification to not speedy delete the Justin canha article, in the article's history page. Responding to my speedy deletion reason: "This is an article about someone with less than 500 hits on Google" , you said (sic): "Google hits do not a speedy deletion make".
Are we abolishing the Google Test?
Among other reasons to do a Google Test there is: ...to decide whether a person is famous enough to have an article or is just making the page because of vanity
--Abu Badali 17:15, Apr 12, 2005 (UTC)
Just one more thing, Google Test was really voted for deletion. But the result was keep. --Abu Badali 17:23, Apr 12, 2005 (UTC)

Hello! I recently noticed some edits by an IP 200.150.59.201 user on the English page for Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. I identified some of them has not having neutral point of view and reverted a couple of them. However, he used the argument, "Obviously you're not from Brazil." So, I was hoping to recruit a Brazilian editor to review his edits and revert anything that is untrue or extremely biased, with more expertise than I could. Let me know if I should find someone else. Thanks for your help! EWS23 | (Leave me a message!) 05:33, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
Hi!
I've just seen what you've changed on the mentioned article, and I think it's very good now! I would like to have contributed more, but my English is not good enough!

hi, sorry for interruption, could you please see to the NPOV of exclusion of Brazil from this article. It was there until a month ago, and some guys keep excluding South Americaand Brazil from what I believe is its just place (and I am not alone, since these previous edits were therelong before, to include Brazil) Perroot 21:47, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
I noticed that you marked a lot of images that Kinsella has uploaded for deletion today. He's obviously a new user, so I was wondering why you didn't just leave him a message explaining image tags and what source info is required, and then put them up for deletion after a few days if he didn't tag them. I appreciate that we need to be careful with possibly-copyrighted information, but it's not a very good way to welcome new users. File:Yemen flag large.png CTOAGN (talk) 20:44, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

Cara, como eu faço para colocar os dados de copyright na foto para que ela não seja deletada. Quando adicionei não entendia essa regra, mas agora que entendi quero corrigir minhas fotos para não serem deletadas. Como faço?
Hi Abu Badali, But I found the image from [1] to replace the no source image from Image:Vanderley cruzeiro.jpg. --See Hoy Kim 05:55, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
Attilios: I don't know wht Image:Diego_Armando.jpg has been listed for deletion. It's a magazine cover and source is showed. Please feedback and... Good work. Attilios.
abu_badali: Hi, Attilios. As I explained in the images for deletion entry, we can't simply use any picture just because we've cited its source. We need a free license for the image, or use it under Fair Use. Note that a low resolution copy of a magazine cover would be Fair Use in an article about the magazine itself. But we can't just use their work to illustrate any article. Regards, --Abu Badali 12:45, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
Attilios: Dear Abu, I didn't understand that cover images could be used only for articles about the magazine itself. I checked the Fair use article, but it's rather legal. Can I ask you to explain me, in a simply way, in which way can I use things using the fair use license? Thanks in advance. Attilios.
abu_badali: Attilios, the Template Template:Magazinecover you used when firstly uploaded the image explains the issue itself. It reads (emphasis mine):
So, that image would be usable in a article about Sports Illustrated, but not about Maradona, nor Football, nor Sports, etc. ... --Abu Badali 13:15, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
Attilios: Thanks for the info about magazine covers, but I was referring to images in general. For example, how can I decide when a generic image taken from a site can be defined as "Fair use"? For example, a photo illustrating an artistic place when can be considered "Fair Use"? Ciao! Attilios
abu_badali: Humm... the point is, it's not about the image, it's about the use. We can use copyrighted images the same way we use copyrighted texts in citations. Just like we can copy (cite) parts of the The Selfish Gene in a text about this book (a review, for instance), we can also use low resolution version of images when talking about this image. But if I'm writting about selfish genes (the concept) in general, and not about the book, I wouldn't be allowed to copy parts of the text under fair use. The same applies for images.
A great example of image fair use in Wikipedia is the article Lenna. The article is about a copyrighted image, but it uses the image under fair use, as it is talking about that very image. The use of this image on the article on Lena Soderberg (the girl depicted on the picture) is questionable.
Of course, IANAL. But don't be shy to ask, whenever you think I may be helpful. --Abu Badali 16:57, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
Attilios: Yeah, I'm understanding, too still considering things overcomplicated about images. Therefore I think I'll stop to post images for the near future: I'm tired to receive signals about images posted for deletion. Ciao! Attilios.
abu_badali: This is unfortunate. Hey, do you have a digital camera? Why don't you take some pictures yourself and upload them? I'm being serious! I've done that once, it's really gratifying! --Abu Badali 19:04, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
Attilios: Yes, I have one. You can see pictures from mine at Subiaco, Italy and Ringebu (Norway), for example. But it would be nicer if we could use with lesser restrictions pictures present in the internet: for example, what a harm if we get a picture from a state-owned site (i.e., an official site of an Italian commune) and add their images to represent the commune itself on our encyclopedia? Another matter: I think Wikipedia should use some amount of money to pay for use of geographic maps and Atlas. It is the only thing that a Britannica or Encarta will always have more than us if things will remain as at present. Eager to know your opinion about these (and others, if you want) questions. Hallo by Attilios.
abu_badali: Indeed, most governments release the images they produce under some free license, usually Public Domain. For instance, here in Brasil, the state owned news agency Agencia Brasil releases pictures of news events for any use, as long as you cite them as the source(see Photographs by Agencia Brasil). In the U.S, as another example, all images produced by state owned spatial agency NASA are released to the public domain (see Category:NASA images). And as a funny complement, images produced by U.S police departments when you get arrested, the Mug shots, are public domain (see Category:Mug shots. And, in many cases, theses are the only free image available for some celebrity (like O._J._Simpson or Sid Vicious). --Abu Badali 02:30, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
Attilios: Wow! Let's become fan of US police to arrest as much as people as possible to permit us to use their pictures on Wikipedia! Attilios.
The image is not professional. It is available on several sites (none of them official) by the web. It is a non-credited photo, therefore there is no such thing as a term of use in this particular case. Lesfer 18:03, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
No (not today) ;-) That is: no, it is not possible to simulate any natural process using a Turing Machine (and today Turing Machine is the most powerful machine). Example of natural process that is impossible to simulate by Turing is - human brain. Is that strictly provable? Yes, it is: human brain can decide whether Turing Machine will stop. Turing Machine cannot decide whether Turing Machine will stop. Therefore, Turing Machine cannot simulate brain performing action of deciding whether Turing Machine will stop. Therefore, Turing Machine cannot simulate brain. QED :-) --Dijxtra 10:18, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
Hello, i noticed you changed tagg from almost all the images i have uploaded to Hwang Woo Suk article, the copyright issue was previously discussed on the talk page on that article. The community agreed that certain number of images should be taken out, and this was done as of (January 4 2006, i noticed you tagged many other images as well, but i please urge you to do not flood my talk page with many warnings, i think it is a treat from you, in case you havent noticed, there is a wikipedia policy about this on Wikipedia:Ignore all rules. I will add properly source (because is important to state Copyright status) and fair use rationale on all images that requires it, But i did with images on Hwang Woo Suk article so i urge you to don't be so offensive by changing the taggs by using your criteria, be civil. Best regards. HappyApple 15:54, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
Hello, i noticed you quickly feedback at my page, and i want to state that i understand your point and i respect it. I wish you understand mine, and the fact is, Hwang Woo Suk article is a current event (or it was as of early 2006) and unfortunatelly there are not (GDF) or excent to copyright images related to that article, and because of this i uploaded those images. To removing them would leave the article with just words, and doing so would let the article quite boring (not counting the article has turned extremelly large) to the reader if it doesnt find graphic material which can give a visual concept of what's he or she is reading. I would try to find another images with friendlier copyright to wikipedia to replace the previous ones, but as i stated it is a pitty there are practically almost none pictures of photographs which can be used in Wikipedia relating to Hwang Woo Suk, if a fair use is not claimed. I hope you may understand. Best regards, HappyApple signing off. HappyApple 16:49, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

Your edit of "14:17, 8 March 2006" on Brassiere was quite problematic, since you marked it as a minor edit, yet you appear to have substituted a completely different and much older version of the page (one which seems to be inferior in some respects, and which of course ignores all the edits made since that date). Furthermore, Image:Bust supporter 1893 USpatent507373.png is really an unintentionally quite laughable piece of work, which has already been made fun of at BJAODN, so that for you to put it back into the page is a severe disimprovement. Furthermore, I resent the implication that Image:1881-empire-bra-vie-parisienne-henri-montaut.gif is "unsourced" -- in fact, it's elaborately and ornately sourced, one could say sourced to within an inch of its life. So I'm going to revert your edit on "Brassiere", and if you have an issue with ANY SPECIFIC PORTION of the article, then please work on that particular section, instead of substituting in an older version of the whole page.

Disambiguation pages are a navigation tools to distinguish articles that could otherwise have the same name. In particular, only persons commonly known by only first name can be added there. See, Michael or Nick for examples. mikka (t) 17:42, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
I've notice you have been erasing everybody's images in Wikipedia. Don't you have other things to do?
Why don't you write a new article, or help other users to do better articles? Is your job here to erase what we post? Get a job!
All the images I post do have FAIR USE. Magazine covers do have fair use, and we can post them ANYWHERE WE WISH. There's nothing saying they only can be used to illustrate a magazine's article. NO, YOU SHOULD STUDY LAW BEFORING TRYING TO PLAY THE DETECTIVE HERE. If a person is on the cover of a magazine, no matter if the person is famous or not, anyone can use that cover for ANYTHING.
Go back to school, buddy!
And stop hunting me here!! I have notice you are looking all my posts in Wikipedia and anything I post here, the next person to post is you. Are you in love with me or something? Please, get out!!
And also, don't use other Usernames to erase what we post. Everybody knows it's you, because you are the only person here who erases fair use images.
Wikipedia is a FREE ENCYCLOPEDIA, so since it is free, you don't have the right to erase other users's post, with no argument.
So isn't magazine cover fair use here to illustrate articles about celebrities?? So why does Halle Berry's article has a magazine cover to show her face??
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halle_Barry
And what about Shakira's?? Her article has many images, including many cd covers!!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira
Won't you erase it too??
And how about Jennifer Lopez's??? They are using a cd cover to illustrate her article!!! That's a crime!!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jennifer_lopez
Won't you erase it too???
You need to find a good psychologist to help you...I have good names, if you need them, I am here to help you, ok?
In reply to your comments in my talk page:
Please, Xuxo, this is the second time you are rude torwards me. I have no interest in being your adversary. I want to colaborate with you, just like with any other wikipedian, to make this a great free encyclopedy.
Removing images we don't have the rigth to use, or that are improperly used is part of the job of improving Wikipedia. Magazine covers, as explained in the text shown in the {{Magazine cover}} template itself, can only be used to illustrate the publication of the issue of the magazine in question (see the 1st bullet there). This means, among other things, that magazine covers can't be used to illustrate the person portrayed on them.
Magazine covers are not Fair Use per se. Actually, nothing is fair use per se. Fair use, as the name says, deals with the use of the image (or text, or any work). Using a copyrighted magazine cover to talk about a magazine is a fair use. Using a copyrighted movie poster (or scene) to talk about the movie is a fair use. Using a magazine copyrighted cover as a replacement for a picture we don't have (of some celebrity, or whatever) is not a fair use.
I share your sentiments that it would be really great if magazine covers could be used anywere we wish, for anything. But unfortunatelly it's not true.
About the article you cited, I would say that the use of a magazine cover in Halle Berry is hardly justifiable (thanks for poiting out!). The Shakira and Jennifer Lopez uses of album covers may be arguably justified as illustration of their works (just like the Xuxa article has an album cover illustrating the discography section).
I don't have others Wikipedia usernames and I never intentionally edit articles anonymously.
I never studied law, it's true. As a matter of fact, all I know about Fair use I learned from Wikipedia's article on Fair use.
Don't be shy to return your toughts to me. I'm completly open to talks envisioning the improvement of Wikipedia, but I may refuse to talk when people are overly discourteous to me.
I hope all personal misunderstandings are solved by now. Best regards, --Abu Badali 13:54, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
Sorry, i do not agree with you. Theres THOUSANDS of biographical articles with Magazine covers, and no one has said anything about it. Besides, the image IS fair use and that's all that matters. --- Lancini87 21:39, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

Olá Abu badali, Eu reparei que está contribuir em artigos relacionados com a lusofonia e gostaria de convidá-lo para participar na Wikipédia em português, actualmente temos mais de 135 mil artigos. Sua ajuda será muito bem vinda. Se por acaso tiver algum problema ou dúvida deixe uma mensagem na minha página de discussão. Continue com esse bom trabalho, |
Why are you erasing the pictures I have posted here??
You have no right to do it! The Ana Claudia Michels's picture is a MAGAZINE COVER. Since then, I can use it in Wikipedia. You've been saying that it does not have fair use to illustrate a celebrity's article. YOU ARE THE ONLY USER who sais this lie in Wikipedia, because every celebrity's article in Wikipedia does have a magazine cover to illustrate it. But, I've noticed that you just erase MY POSTS, while there are thousands of articles with magazine covers, and you did not erase them. Why don't you go to Kate Moss article and erase the magazine covers? And that about Naomi Campbell??? And how about Heidi Klum. What do you say about Claudia Schiffer and Yamila Diaz. Why don't you go there and erase them and hunt their posters too? Answer me that!
And it is not only me, because in the Ana Claudia Michels article, I posted the magazine cover, then you came and erased the image. Then another use came and re-posted the image, arguing that is was a magazine cover used to illustrate the article and it HAS FAIR USE.
Saying again, you have no right to erase magazine covers image here, because they are not fobidden in Wikipedia. Don't you have other things to do in your life?? Do you work for those magazines??
Only one person could come here a erase a magazine cover: THE OWNER OF THE MAGAZINE. Since you are the owner, I do not know what you get with it.
Stop hunting me and get a job, please.
Erase all the magazine covers in Wikipedia.
Good job for you. And, only erase MY MAGAZINE COVERS after you erase every ones in the Wikipedia.
See you in 10 years!
You removed references of Maradona being considered one of the best footballer, claiming that he was considered so only by his own fans. I don't know what did you mean by own fans, but the references were perfectly valid. I restored them. Mariano(t/c) 07:44, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi Abu,
I had added the image which was a magazine cover, so qualified under fair use(as per fair use guidelines at that time). The article's edit history shows that you have removed the image. If you feel that the image does not qualify under fair use you may either mark it for deletion or request an admin to delete it.Gaurav1146 03:45, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Cheers! -- MOE.RON talk | done | doing 14:38, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
Why do you and your buddy Ed_gs2 insist on posting that mug shot of Carmen Electra on her page? It is inherently biased. It carries the assumption that she's a career criminal. In fact, the charges for which that photo were taken, were dismissed. Your insistence on posting it amounts to pushing a point of view. Wahkeenah 10:01, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
Please stop removing fair use images, this can be considered vandalism.If you have a concern please discuss on talk pages. Just because you think something is not fair use, it doesn't mean it isn't.
For actors screenshots of movies are fair use, for models magazine covers are fair use, etc.! Please take the time to read the guidelines! Thanks. Optimale Gu 06:36, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Hello, Abu!(Sou brasileiro também, ou será que você é de Portugal? Vou falar em inglês porque acho que é mais apropriado). The image Zico em campo.jpg is already posted on the japanese wikipedia (well, I'm not sure that is japanese, but is something like that), and when I tried to use it (zico.jpg is how it's in there) appears the img of "Zico the movie", so i uploaded it again, but it's already on an asiatic wikipedia. My image is at "Brazilian national football team".Ty~
Look mate, what IS your problem with where images come from? They make wikipedia a better place, regardless of source (and for the record I think that ALL of my images qualify as fair use). You're actually working against everything that is good about wikipedia, systematically going after people and questioning everything they do. Who told you to do this? Why take the 'law' into your own hands? Ask yourself this: who are you protecting? You wanna play cops and robbers, go and joing the freaking police. Do something useful, rather than wasting your life on here. What is your job? Cos this ain't real life buddy, and if its your only hobby, I feel bad for you. I mean really bad. I thinks it's quite sad that your only reason for using wikipedia is to actively reverse what other people do, rather than to actively create content. I will review all the images you 'helpfully' tagged for me, but I'm getting real tired of you ducking me man. Peace out. Megawattbulbman 11:09, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
Damn right you're doing something wrong. And you still haven't answered my question: WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS? Just WHO do you thing is offended by unfair images? I can see from your talk page that this is clearly a sad fixation of yours, so I'm not going to fight you - I really don't have the time, I've got better things to do, unlike you you sad little man. So delete my images if you must, but just answer me this - WHO ARE YOU BENEFITING? (Apart from yourself obviously, satisfying your own sad delusional little ego trip that you're a 'virtual policeman' - probably too pussy to be one in real life).
Lisa Fonssagrives was an early supermodel and the cover Image:LisaFVogue.jpg which is one of Lisa Fonssagrives' more than 200 covers on Vogue would be representative of a significant impact of the magazine on both the field of supermodels, her individual career and her impact of style on the magazine. If this is clearly stated on the image description and within the articles for all three would this in your opinion qualify for fair use? Thanks. This whole image business is getting to be harder work than it is worth for many users, which is I think unfortunate. Wikipedia and its readers in the long run will be the ones to suffer.

Please stop removing fair use images, this can be considered vandalism. If you have a concern please discuss on talk pages. Just because you think something is not fair use, it doesn't mean it isn't.The cover of an album or single is fair use! If you remove the picture from the top of the article because it's doesn't fit the wiki criterias, so try to put it in the other place of the article. Again: DO NOT REMOVE, JUST CHANGE THE SPOT!

Please note with regard to your removal of the fair use image from the article Jack Abramoff: The commentary on the TIME issue is in the image caption. It was originally in the article as well but was removed by another editor in the past as "redundant", therefore the consensus view seems to be that the commentary in the caption is considered the same as commentary within the article. Please also note that, if you think that mention is not quantitatively sufficient (or a "loose mention" as per your edit summary) that your opinion on what is sufficient is welcome.Please also note that Ta bu shi da yu, who went on a "mission" to remove improper fair use images (as you apparently are now) several months ago, reviewed this fair use justification and commented that it was a very appropriate fair use - for what it's worth.

You said on WP:CP that you felt that Image:Mallorysnyder.jpg was not fair use. However, I was thinking that perhaps it was, since it is being used to show who she is. Please let me know what you think. Thanks for your time! -- Where 03:43, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
You had placed a lot of messages related to deletion of images on my talk page. I had replied earlier that as per the guidelines at the time when I uploaded these image magazine covers came under fair use. But now those guidelines have been slightly modified and magazine covers come only under fair use if they are used in an article related to the magazine.
But I have some questions about two screenshots that I had uploaded which are Image:DonnaReed.JPG and Image:JamesDonald.JPG. I believe that screenshots do come under fair use. Please let me know why you have marked them for deletion. Gaurav1146 10:23, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for bringing the images to my attention, I have a greater grasp on the issue and will step aside for now. All the pictures have been G7'd to save time and effort. Again, thank you, and if you need anything from me feel free to contact me. Yanksox 03:45, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
I was so annoyed, yet realizing that you were right, that I went and created a new article for the image where it is used in proper fair-use. So, please don't delete the image now.--SVTCobra 00:56, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

It looks to me like you need to look closer to home, if your going to complan about fair use images. At least make sure your fu images are used. Matthew Fenton (contribs) 16:15, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
Abu badali, if you continue to remove images from the Heathers page and any other page on Wikipedia for that matter, you'll be blocked. I see this isn't the first time you've ran into trouble with removing content/images from Wikipedia, and if you continue it then you'll be blocked from Wikipedia for good. Consider this a FINAL warning. Jackp 07:38, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
The image description specifies exactly where the image came from, as well as the usage restrictions set by the copyright owner. What seems to be the problem? κаллэмакс 12:44, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
Oi. Vejo que você é brasileiro também. Por acaso você não teria vontade de contribuir também no Simple English Wikipedia em artigos relacionados ao Brazil? Obrigado. --Paulistanum 20:46, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
OK... I see where it says that now, sorry for the miss-understanding. Using Flickr I will look for a more appropriate image however (which carries the same licensing as the other one).... as it is pretty clear via community concensus that people would like a different image, hopefully this aproach should sort it out. Regards. - Deathrocker 07:39, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
Hi Abu. You tagged the above image as a copyright violation from [2]. This site says images may be used on non-commercial sites, with attribution. Attribution exists, and Wikipedia is not a commercial site. The image is therefore not a copyright violation. Regards, Proto::type 14:37, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
Hi Abu. I would rather discuss with you about appropriate links for the Gisele article rather than having a link-off war. According to the guidelines for wikipedia it is appropriate to have a link to fan sites listing. The Squidoo lense is not my personal site and does not promote me. It is an regularly updated, appropriate web site which is used to keep track of interesting links and information relating to the subject matter.
If the Squidoo lense is not the best fan site listing then I encourage you to find a better one and let's use that. --User:Heathweaver
Abu, I am entering an article on an author who, although he writes a best selling diet book, misrepresents his background and qualifications. How does one go about stating these types of facts in Wikipedia? --Heath Weaver 18:18, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
The file can get deleted, I don't know how to delete pictures...... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Toosmart215 (talk • contribs)
I know your right about the fair use on user pages issue, but could ya give it a rest. Does it really matter? "...and that the user this page belongs to may have no personal affiliation with any site other than Wikipedia itself." Doesn't this line from the user page template pretty much O.K it? If not, and if you wont have it, I will remove the images. Tenaciousd 03:30, 1 August 2006 (UTC)Tenaciousd
Done and fixed. Sorry for the trouble.Tenaciousd 05:23, 1 August 2006 (UTC)Tenaciousd
I always see your excellent work with images and fair use and I'm wondering if I could nominate you for adminship as you clearly need the tools. Thanks Jaranda wat's sup 00:38, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
You can vote for whether Abu will be an adminstrator or not at:

If you don't like his confrontational attitude, I suggest you vote to oppose it as I did.I have been contributing numerous articles on wikipedia dealing with the 1920's and early 1930's. This person has literally driven me away from wikipedia because he refuses to let me place a public domain image on the 1930s article that illustrates how fashion became more conservative in that decade and how long skirts became in 1930 whereas the year (1929) before they had been worn above the knee. This person (Abu badali) has me banned and I will no longer be contributing to wikipedia. I had hoped to complete the articles on all of the early Technicolor films produced in 1929-1933 as well as numerous articles on the early talkies. Unfortunately, due to his confrontational attitude and unwillingless to help me correctly tag the image I am no longer going to contribute to wikipedia. I think it will be a mistake if you make this person an administrator as he will only drive away people who are only trying to improve wikipedia and contribute articles to it.

Thank you for the note. You haven't been reading my comments very carefully, have you? I don't like this notion of having to put up with an ugly photo of a celebrity just because it's the only "free" photo available. I don't think it enhances wikipedia in any way, in fact it makes us look fairly desparate. I do understand the technicalities of why you're doing it, I just don't think it helps the look of this website. So I will neither endorse nor denigrate your candidacy. Wahkeenah 05:20, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for the notice. However, I'm not sure about the picture any longer. The website We Make Money Not Art, had a Creative commons license on it (on the main page) when I uploaded the image from this page. But I cant find it any longer. Anyhow, here's proof that I'm not lying. The page still is listed in google under websites that are "free to use or share, even commercially". I've provided the source of the image and its creator. However, I've left the no-source template intact. Looking forward to your insight in the matter. Thank you.-- thunderboltza.k.a.Deepu Joseph |TALK12:01, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
Image:Imgp0479 - lions club 800x600.jpg This is a picture someone took of a Lions_Clubs_International logo. As a Lion, I know LCIF enforces the copyright on its logo. It charges money for pins and other items containing the logo. I would recommend checking with LCIF about this. :) Dlohcierekim 21:40, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
Another one Image:HK Lion International at the Peak of HK island.jpg Cheers. :) Dlohcierekim 22:05, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
While I totally agree with your removal of those two images, you really shouldn't mark edits like that as "minor". Deleting two pictures from an image is significant, however justified it might be. Soo 10:21, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
Hi, Zanimum for the good work checking sources for the Gisele article. And thanks for updating the info on Image:Taxi2004.jpg. But still about this screenshot, I'd like to hear your opinion... do you belive the Gisele Bündchen article needs this unfree image? The image doesn't seem to add much information about the movie... it's just an image of Gisele, and we have lots of free images available for Gisele. Don't you think we can get rid of it? What's the role of this image in the article? Thanks, --Abu Badali 15:39, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
Hi Abu Badali. I like this addition to your user page, and am glad that you're not taking your RfA personally. Please don't let it get you down; you do great work around here and are very much appreciated. ×Meegs 20:59, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
Did you revert my change to the Pele article because you thought I had restored the copvio picture? I didn't restore the copyvio picture, I restored an older picture than used to be on the page. Granted, this second picture is the subject of unknown provenance but it is not copyvio as far as I know. Could you restore my edit if you were mistaken? If you weren't, and were removing my edit as per policy (perhaps because the picture's dubious provenance means it cannot be in the article), then please accept my apologies. --Jim (Talk) 20:33, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
Hi, and thanks for contacting me.
I wonder what is wrong with the image you have orphaned now twice. Had your message to me not read, 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, I would have contacted you beforehand.
You may have realized that I put it in an article on Hester Prynne rather than Demi Moore, although either would have been legitimate: The photo does show Hester Prynne, a fictional character, doesn't it?
What do you want? Have one third of all the images on Wikipedia deleted?
Best wishes, <KF> 16:43, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
Don't understand the objections. The page I link too is not commercial and just contains a bunch of links to scientific papers, patents, etc. It is pretty benign compared to what else is on the baldness treatments page. Also, with millions of out-going links from Wikipedia diluting page rank to nothing, a link to a particular website does no good with Google rank. So what is the problem? Pproctor 14:50, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
I dispute your removal of the screencapture of Kate Winslet as under the fair use rules it is perfectly acceptable as a participant in the film qualifies as part of "its contents". However I did not revert your deletion as the image chosen was poor and included unnecessary dialogue subtitles. But a screencapture from any of her films -- so long as she is illustrated -- is perfectly acceptable under Fair use. I've had this debate with others before. 23skidoo 15:42, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
about the picture of the twins on the multiracial page? what's wrong with it? Colorfulharp233 21:17, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Quite a few of the John Kerry are in Public Domain as taken by the United States Navy, and under U.S law it is part of the government thus isn't copyrighted. Thanks 216.189.165.232 02:22, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
I have posted the requested source info and verified that Image:Amack ab.jpeg is indeed fair use under the listed conditions. I'm going to wait on reposting the image until I have confirmation that the source info is satisfactory. -->Johnnyfog
