They are fair use, Why would you remove them if you don't have suitable replacements?
Before you revert/remove, take it to the discussion page. That's why it's there.Sixstring196521:34, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
(question regarding sixstring) Hi Riana, concerning the above editor, I was wanting to know if a request had ever been made as per this conversation (fyi, SS, above, has been indef blocked). If he has sent an email as I suggested, I will look at his situation differently than I do now. If he has not then I can only assume this is correct and will not waste any more time. Thanks in advance, R. Baley08:00, 28 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Riana, are you still online? Could you please unprotect my current talk page so that I can archive it? Maybe you can move protect User talk:Kyoko/Archives too. Once I have moved the talk page, could you please fully protect the archived page(s) and semi my new talk page? I know it's a lot of tasks, and I appreciate it. Thanks! --Kyoko14:51, 28 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
What a nice way to start a talk page too! Just don't get carried away. I had to tell one person to stop filling my page with full-screen smilies. --Kyoko15:06, 28 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Jeffree Star: I don't get why he is protected. (1) He is not that famous or even remotely interesting; and (2) I think it's to protect him against accusations of racism. This contraversy needs to be included on his page. If anything, the fact that he has made EXTREMELY racist comments (on video) are probably why he gained any fame outside of the LA scene.

I sent you a message which I am not sure I put on the correct page. I am a busy woman who has worked on get issues and am very familiar with the get case in Canada which is emerging law on the barriers to remarriage. This fellow Bruno is a vindictive fellow. The issue is to remove barriers to remarriage for women. All the men involved are abusive. The whole article is contextualy wrong. The correct article which has been blocked from the WIkipedia site. I framed the article with the titles that were originally written. Each and every section has cites which all these men have not read including Nishkid who is siding with these men. You are a woman. Whether you are Jewish or Muslim, a man could do this to you one day. Read the correct version of the article. And further, look at Nishkid's talk page and the notes at the bottom of my user page which admits that he has not read.
And do note that your suggestion was ignored. Farmbrough stated the same thing as you. It was ignored.

Never mind, Deskana got it (thank you so much, Deskana). When I saw, er, why, when, and how it was created, and [ahem] which previous versions of which pages it shouwed up (transcluded) on, I was about ready to puke. — $PЯINGεrαgђ 03:30, 29 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Random comment: if the source provides it as a high-resolution image, I don't believe we have to be too concerned with that particular criteria (though I could be wrong). Personally, I tend to see the low-res requirement as being more applicable to album covers and the like, where it's entirely possible to create a higher-resolution version of something (and to be used for improper purposes, as well). EVula// talk // ☯ //05:03, 29 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Sounds fair. You see the article it's used in is currently a GA nom, and I know how picky they are over there about the size of images, I've just seen an article failed for (amongst other things) a fair use image being over 300 px. However if you look at Maze Prison escape you can see the image at 300 px, and see that if that's the maximum size that can even be on the servers then there's no point using the image at all. From my understanding of fair use there are certain circumstances when high resolution images are acceptable, and I'm hoping this would be one of them? One Night In Hackney30305:08, 29 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that image is OK. Better to use a high-res unfree one than a low-res uninformative one, I guess. ~ Riana ⁂11:10, 29 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. If it has to be low-res I wouldn't even use it, as at the required size it's as much use as a ashtray on a motorbike. And no, I haven't had one of those recently many thanks :) One Night In Hackney30311:13, 29 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thankyou for jumping to conclusions, I am not TheInvisibleMachine and other than a similarity in name (and you have to admit many legitimate users have names similar to vandals) there is nothing to connect us. As for using my contributions as evidence, if you bothered checking you would have found there was nothing similar between them. I have looked over the accusations and prepared a response on my talk page. Feel free to review it and respond if you feel necessary.
And for the record it's one featured article, two good articles (third pending hopefully), and six of the twelve articles I've written since my temporary return made the main page for "did you know" *brags* One Night In Hackney30311:18, 29 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
While I can understand your frustration, I am extremely sorry to see you leaving over this or any issue and hope you will reconsider soon. Newyorkbrad15:42, 29 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Dear Riana, I echo all the words of the above, and an open invitation for a virtual shoulder via email, should you ever wish it. I'm a good "listener" (reader? lol), and if you don't want to talk, but want to get your mind off things, my ArielVerbosity will be more than adequate to keep you occupied for hours, lol. I'll miss you so much, I hope you pop in now and then, feel free to stop by my talk page to say hi. ~*Hugs*~ Ariel♥Gold18:19, 29 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Another of the good editors, leaving. This sucks royally. Do take care Riana and I wish you well on Veropedia and hope to see you around on Wiki soon. Take Care....NeutralHomerT:C18:28, 29 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
RFPP will be bleeding badly now that 1/2 of the dynamic duo of page protection is gone. :/ Best wishes Riana - you've been an asset to the project, and hopefully we'll still see you around. :) --krimpet⟲19:38, 29 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Dear Riana. I'm going to miss you terribly but can understand your reasons. Just to say that we'll be here if and when you wish to return and in the meantime, I'll be watching out for ya. You've done an awesome amount of hard work on the project here & the place won't really be the same without you. Beir bua 's beannachtaí - Alison❤20:36, 29 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Another fellow Australian has left the project. It is really sad to see you go Riana. Keep in touch with me every now and then, email is e @ ts.wikimedia.org or IRC as TheLetterE. :) — EtalkBAG20:54, 29 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Please come back someday... when you feel up to it. It may be hell sometimes, but there have been fond times when peace and quiet reigned. If not, you'll leave one sad person running around aimlessly :( --DarkFallstalk07:41, 30 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I can understand your departure and I still hold great respect for you. Please do what it is that you want; don't return unless it makes you happy. Although if you do we'll all be waiting to throw a mop, bucket and pile o' crap your way. I hope your work with Veropedia goes well. Best wishes, James086Talk | Email08:13, 1 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
We will all always miss you. You were (are) a fantastic editor and even better admin! Please do think about not leaving, but if you do, it was still phenomenal to have you here! Hope your time on Vero and Commons is just as eventful. Your trusting admin-coaching-student, and one among the fans,xC | ☎19:57, 1 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Sigh, I'm late again. We'll miss you a lot Riana, and I wish you luck with future projects. *sigh*... ugh, edit conflict, "database locked", and the poor, poor forgotten tilde... :( ~ Sebi04:42, 2 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the revert, Ms. I'm-not-here-anymore. Take as long a break as you need or want, and come back- or don't- as makes you happy. It's just Wikipedia. :) -FisherQueen (talk · contribs)16:18, 29 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Riana, I was looking at my watchlist and saw someone else's edit to this page, under the headline "No!"... and that's how I learned about your decision. Are you sure you won't reconsider? While I'm saddened by this, if you do choose never to resume activity, I understand and won't beg you to stay. I think you were and are a great editor and administrator, and if Wikipedia is going to lose your active participation, at least Veropedia and Commons will gain it. Please keep in touch, and do pop in once in a while. You'll always be welcome here. I'll send you more by e-mail. Lots of love, Kyoko03:06, 30 October 2007 (UTC) :'([reply]
I have admired your work here, from a distance and looked to you as a voice of thoughtfulness and sincerity. Best wishes to you. Modernist18:33, 30 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Riana, I have a suggestion for your userpage: I think many people will still turn to you when they want adminny tasks to be done, so I thought it would be a good idea if you put some links on your page to point to them where to go. I could do it myself, but that would be too bold. I hope you don't mind my suggestion. Best of luck with everything, Riana. Love, Kyoko09:51, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. :) Back in March, you asked this user why s/he continues requesting deletion of this userpage. Did you ever get any kind of an answer? It's moving into the realm of the mindboggling. I'll be watching your page in case you get a chance to respond. :) --Moonriddengirl(talk)14:22, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. Note this user reinstated vandalism on the John Howard page 10-15 minutes after you had warned them on their talkpage about the first two instances. --Brendan[ contribs ]14:47, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hi there. The Preity Zinta article has recently achieved A-class status. Due to the wealth of support I have decided to now nominate for an FA class article which I believe and judging by the comments of others is pretty much up to. In my view it is better than some existing FA actor articles. I would therefore be very grateful if you could give it a final review in your own time and leave your comments and views at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Preity Zinta. Thankyou, your comments are always valuable.♦ Sir Blofeld ♦"Talk"?10:57, 1 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
...well, or semi leave. I completely agree with your comments on Jimbo Wales. People treat him like some sort of god, he does absoloutely nothing to deserve it, except for driving productive contributors away, he doesn't even have the decency to reply to messages left on his talk page. I completely agree with the quote you left on your userpage, Jimbo does nothing to be treated like a God. Anyway, I hope you will return back to normal editing, I'll miss you!

Thanks for your support with respect to my request for adminship, which successfully closed today with a count of 47 support, 1 oppose. I did appreciate the personal touch you brought, and I remember the incident. If you ever see me doing anything that makes you less than pleased that you supported my request, I hope to hear about it from you. See you around Wikipedia!

I was looking at the user page of some admins and I encountered the user page of Riana. And, I saw the term "Veropedia". What is Veropedia? Can anybody explain it to me? Regards, Masterpiece200005:13, 5 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for voicing your opinions in my recent RFA which unfortunately did not pass at (47/23/5). I will be sure to take the advice the community has given me and wait till someone nominates me next time as well as improve my editing skills.

Hi, Can you please comment here. Also, would I be able to see a copy of the OTRS mail? It really puzzles me that the blog says repeatedly on their site that their pics are CC-2, while the same have been releasedon CC-3 on wikipedia. Looking forward to your comment. Thanks.

It's not the material that is important to us. It's not even the person wearing the robe. It's really more about the fact that you own one. That's what really matters on Wikipedia - ownership. the_undertowtalk06:15, 11 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I'm just curious, what article is this supposed to be used in? It looks like a personal picture. A google search for s/v sequoia shows no article that it could be placed in. Is that supposed to be an invintation to create this article? hbdragon8802:31, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Riana! Just so you know, I've never forgotten this :) Thanks so much for your support in my successful RfA. I'm humbled to have the community's trust. As I master the ways of the mop and bucket, please don't hesitate to message me for any advice or corrections. Cheers! Spellcast23:06, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Nah, don't try that. You'll find (much to your dismay) that Riana has a few geek supporters (yours truly), who will inevitably find a way to desysop you despite not being B-crats. Then they (i.e. me) would block you for 35 years (if I remember correctly, that's the maximum time you can block for). Your kids would get to edit before you. :) · AndonicOTalk01:16, 14 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
