Upload

Concert images

This question is aimed primarily at the uploader, User:Sysmithfan, but is there any reason why the image used in the infobox at the top of the article is squashed so that Kubota appears strangely thin? Actually, all of the live concert images used in this article seem to be rather small in size and of poor resolution, so would it be possible to have the original larger-resolution photos uploaded? I do hope that these are original photos taken by the uploader, and not screenshots from concert DVDs, as that would be rather problematic. --DAJF (talk) 01:59, 14 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

First of all, I was there at the Party Ain't A Party concert (third row / middle section) on January 22, 2012, as I stated on description of the picture. How is a picture supposed to look when you take with your camera sideways "|" instead of "-". Second, stop trying to stir up trouble here on this page. Your reverts are getting tiresome and aggravating. Last, as I stated with the last infobox picture, I took these photos myself. You can not say that I did not because you do not have proof of that. You will not find proof of fraud (screenshots) because there is none. And do not aim your questions at me if you did not bother to get the full story (image descript.). I have tried to be patient with you and accept a few of your ideas (edits), but now you are trying to turn everything into an edit war. You are trying to erase every single detail that does not a source. Please find other pages to disrupt because I do not appreciate your edit disruptions here. Sysmithfan (talk) 03:54, 14 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Another small note to add. Considering the fact that I was at the concert, I have many pictures that I took from that night. I took a picture of the duet between Yuri and Toshinobu when they sang "Just the Two of Us". I have many pictures from that night, so do not question my photo uploads. If I uploaded it, that means I was there unless stated otherwise. Sysmithfan (talk) 03:59, 14 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

OK, that's good to hear. What I was referring to, though, was the way that the current top image appears to be compressed sideways, resulting in Kubota's face looking oddly thin. Maybe this is just an optical illusion. But my original comment still applies: is it not possible to upload larger, higher-resolution versions of your photos, as 425 x 480 pixels is a bit on the small side? --DAJF (talk) 04:03, 14 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Toshinobu is a very skinny man, if you have not noticed. As for your "original comment", I do not have to upload it bigger. If you did not delete my previous header image, you would not need a bigger photo. My answer to that is no. I have a bigger picture, but I will not upload it. Sysmithfan (talk) 04:09, 14 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, it still looks oddly compressed to me. But you are right, you certainly don't have to upload higher resolution images, but I just thought it would be desirable to improve the quality of the article. Incidentally, the earlier image was apparently deleted for being a copyright violation (image taken from another website), but I had no involvement in deleting it (I'm not an admin) or even requesting its deletion, and was not aware of the problem until it was removed from this article by a bot. --DAJF (talk) 04:50, 14 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well I guess it never occurred to anyone that those images were taken from me. This seems to be a problematic case for a lot of the images I upload. Sysmithfan (talk) 05:35, 14 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If images taken by you are already used on other websites and indicated as copyright, then you probably need to indicate this in the upload details. Either way, you should take it up with the editor or admin that deleted your images. --DAJF (talk) 05:47, 14 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have done this but thanks to people like you, the image never stood a chance of staying. Evening when an explanation was given. Either way, I suppose there will always be people like you, who will challenge other people's work (Image uploading, personal life, awards..., etc.).

Birth date order

This question is aimed at User:DAJF. Why do it matter what order the birth date goes. Looking at other Japanese musicians' pages like Misia, SunMin, Kreva, Daichi Miura, Sadao Watanabe, why do it matter? Sysmithfan (talk) 04:05, 14 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please see WP:DATERET, as the answer to your question is explained there. Basically, the format used in the infobox should conform with that used in the main article text. As far as I can see, all of the other articles you mention follow that rule, so there is no problem. --DAJF (talk) 04:50, 14 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That makes no sense, because switching the order of dates formatted with the rest of the page. "Year, month, day" do not. I had the entire article format to "month, day, year". Sysmithfan (talk) 05:38, 14 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It seems pretty clear to me. Looking back over the article's history, it originally used the "Day/Month/Year" format, so really you should have stuck to that when you first started editing and expanding the article. --DAJF (talk) 05:47, 14 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
