User talk:Kerusso

Welcome to the AMA :-)

Hello Kerusso,

I notice that you've posted yourself into the AMA's Member page. :-)

I'm Steve Caruso, the acting Coordinator of this band of misfits, and at your disposal for answering any questions you may have about the Association. I also see that you've posted our reading list on your main page, so I assume you've read through it all (otherwise I would have suggested it as the first place to start, but you seem very well on your way! :-) ).

If you'd like some other Advocates to talk to about their experiences in the AMA before taking on a case, yourself, I would be more than glad to point some in your direction; however, if you feel that you're ready to help out on your own case we currently have two that are pending available Advocates. Also seeing your notes on the Members page, do you wish more to act in a counciling capacity? If so, I'm happy with whatever help you are comfortable to spare. :-)

If you need any help or have any questions, please just drop by my talk page or my desk and leave a note in the appropriate place, and once again, welcome!

Peace,

אמר Steve Caruso _{(desk/AMA/vote for me)} 12:09, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Requesting assistance

Hi Kerusso. I am myself a new advocate who finds myself in a position of needing an outside source with a dispute involving User:Rkinch at the situation at Talk:Quiverfull, the headings "Who is CyberAnth?" and "Rkinch post". If you can lend a few minutes to assist as you see fit, I'd be most appreciative. Peace, CyberAnth 09:08, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Jancey Sheats deletion

Well I guess I need to thank you for the final deletion of my article on KARK news anchor Jancey Sheats. I truely feel that this is a wrong move, as I have monitored many stubs that your administration has not bothered to touch or look into. It feels to me like a biased deletion, as it's request came from a fellow broadcaster. I came to wiki due to its nature, allowing people to add meaningful articles. You have proven that this is not the case, that it is a case of "who's who". As of such I feel I can't further contribute as an editor, nor can I honestly continue my work as a part of the Association of Members' Advocates. This saddens me as I feel I have made some good contributions in my limited time here, but now I have a doubt that any will remain. Kerusso 18:14, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi Kerusso. I am sorry you feel this way. It really is not a case of 'Who's Who'. Wikipedia has over 1,550,000 articles to look into, and so we rely on our articles for deletion process, among other processes, to bring to attention articles the community believes should not remain on Wikipedia. All I did was assess the arguments made by the community. Nothing on Wikipedia is final; if you truly believe that the article on Jancey Sheats should have been kept, I have provided a temporary copy for you to try again with, at User:Kerusso/Jancey Sheats. Please edit this article to ensure that all information is referenced, and that the article asserts why Ms Sheats is notable (as per our criteria for notability you can see here. Once you are done, let me know via my talk page, and I'll gladly restore the article if it's ok. If you do have any questions, let me know. Regards, Proto::► 20:23, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

• • You say that the community decides. The problem is the community is a small number of administrators, compared to users. My whole point is that while "the community" may feel a particular article might not be worthy, other casual or standard users might. You personally may not know or care about a news anchor from Arkansas, but the residents do. Does that make them less important in opinion than the community? According to the rules of this community, yes it does make others opinions of lesser value. Miss Sheats has worked on a national talk show, and worked with a international performer. I guess that is more reknown than what some of us might have done. I personally have done some reknown achievements, and am considered a expert in my previous field, but I don't consider myself a worthy article. In the state of Arkansas, Texas, and maybe California, Miss Sheats might be consider more reknown and important. Kerusso 20:57, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
    • BTW, it was a census of 7 people out of how many million users that decided Jancey Sheats should not be an article. Something is not right when such a small number controls an open encyclopedia Kerusso 21:01, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

If the revised article asserts the notability you mention, and it's referenced, then there will be no problem recreating the article. Proto::► 23:45, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

• • • • The original article had those mentioned, and when I was asked by Alf photoman, I referrenced the sources. One of the desenting votes (Alf photoman) even changed his vote to "weak keep" after I sourced the article. It was deleted none the less. Kerusso 00:43, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
        • Hi, Kerusso... I'm sorry the article was deleted, but I do feel that the reasoning is sound -- there are, hundreds (if not thousands) of television anchors in the United States... and it opens the floodgates for anchors from New York City to Glendive, MT to have their own articles. I can assure you that the AfD was not done maliciously against you (or the subject, given that I don't know either of you) -- but because, generally speaking, local television anchors (with some limited exceptions) don't meet WP:BIO. WP's Television Stations Project is working on guidelines for local television personalities, and your input is certainly welcome. Amnewsboy 03:44, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

          This is an excellent idea, and I would urge you to participate given your expertise in the area. Proto::► 14:07, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Kari Byron deletion

That deletion debate was closed a year and a half ago. The article was deleted at that time, but was since recreated with proper information. Previously, there wasn't much chance of the article being more than a stub.--Drat (Talk) 05:20, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

• • Thanks and no worries Kerusso 17:39, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Michael J. Devlin‎

I've replied there. John Reaves 17:41, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

There's no reason to be uncivil and use personal attacks, consider this a warning. I'd like to see some evidence to show that I think I'm "above all else" and "think to highly of myself". John Reaves 17:52, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

• • There you go with your "warnings" again. Go read your postings yourself. One comment I remember, and frankly I don't have time to play childish games with you, is "bleeding hearts". What is your issues with children? Are you in support of the molester? You seem to aim that way in your comments, wanting to lump abused kids with their abusers. Maybe I am a bleeding heart, but I CARE about the welfare of others. And that is a warning to you Kerusso 18:12, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

You've yet to warn me or prove anything. Also, your signature doesn't link to anything. John Reaves 02:23, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

likewise you have not "warned" me of anything, and it seems that your are following me and stalking me right now. I expect that to end, as of now! Kerusso 02:39, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

I warned you 4 comments above. How am I stalking you? All I've done is reply on your talk page. John Reaves 03:06, 16 January 2007 (UTC) How am I stalking you?? I have since told you NOT to come back here, and you continue to do so. Plus I have not stated anything on your talk page. Now this is your LAST warning, if you continue to harass me, I WILL report you to the proper Wiki authorities. You were warned above, this is your last chance, or risk having another block added to your history. Kerusso 03:21, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

It's common practice to watchlist people's talk pages on which you've left comments. It's also common practice to warn users who violate Wikipedia policy. Go ahead and "report me", I've done nothing wrong. John Reaves 03:26, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

I beleive I will as you CONTINUE to come back to my page here, despite being requested not too. I will check for your policy violations. I am sure an admin will see I have requested numerious time to be left alone by you and your continue to stalk me here. Kerusso 03:30, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Just let me know when I've been reported :) John Reaves 03:37, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

To all whom it concerns: A harassment report has been submitted for John Reaves. I have expressed here a continued desire that he does not contact me again, and he continues to do so. I consider this harassment, and have issues a complaint in that regards. Kerusso 03:51, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

John Reaves was "proven" right on the harassment report I made, thought he was given a very slight reprimand/statement about how he handled the initial conversation here ("Better still, a few polite words asking Kerusso to be more civil might have been all that was needed."). But to make Reaves feel better, he was right!!!! I now hope this person will not post to me here. He was right, I was wrong. Kerusso 05:25, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Just for full disclosure, the entire discussion is located here. The admin clearly hadn't seen the my comment on this page: "There's no reason to be uncivil and use personal attacks, consider this a warning." Now assuming there are no more remarks about me posted here, this is my last comment. John Reaves 05:46, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:HHF Ariel.GIF

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:HHF Ariel.GIF. 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:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

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 fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. VegitaU 03:07, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Image source problem with Image:Kennedy-myspace.JPG

Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:Kennedy-myspace.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, 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, 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:Non-free content, 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 17:00, 16 October 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Yamla 17:00, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Yamla 17:00, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:HHFlogo.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:HHFlogo.gif. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. 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 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.BetacommandBot (talk) 17:58, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
