Help us develop better software!

Thanks to all of you for commenting on the NOINDEX RfC :). It's always great to be able to field questions like these to the community; it's genuinely the highlight of my work! The NOINDEX idea sprung from our New Page Triage discussion; we're developing a new patrolling interface for new articles, and we want your input like never before :). So if you haven't already seen it, please go there, take a look at the screenshots and mockups and ideas, and add any comments or suggestions you might have to the talkpage. Thanks!

Request permission to use a restricted image

Hi Skier Dude, I want to use the image File:Trollface.svg specifically to User:Soviet King/Userpage only. Can I have permission to use this image, because I only intend to use the image on that page only. Soviet King (talk) 03:52, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

The problem is that it is a non-free image, which has massive restrictions, including not being used in the user space. Sorry... Skier Dude (talk) 03:56, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

Oh alright, Thanks for letting me know. Regards, Soviet King (talk) 03:58, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

Wrong deletion of Article

With respect, in order to justify your deletion of my article: HUMAN REVOLUTION IN SGI, you offered on a page with various causes for deletion. None of the causes you mentioned on that page come any near to the reality of the mentioned Article, its value, proper research, impartiality, citations...The Article does not violate any criterion set by Wikipedia. I maintain that your deletion of that article is incorrect. I request a review. I request you to specify a cause for deletion. You have not specified what motivated you to just delete a work which took over 100 hours of efforts to develop. If there were any areas in the article requiring improvement or edition then I request informing me what to improve or edit in the article. But to treat a serious and valuable philosophical subject : Human Revolution in SGI - as any low quality or abusive text this is plainily incorrect and hurting. I believe my requests are valid and supported by Wikipedia rules and practice,and I sincerely request you to reply to what I presented in this communication. Thank you.

FYI

Hi, would you please add the next time something like that? The templates are listed in the edit notice. Thanks. mabdul 12:26, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

Tony Cozier book cover

Thanks for tagging, but you ought to check the history before nominating for speedy deletion. The image had been accidentally removed by the last editor's good faith edit. I've fixed it. Anyway, keep up the good work. --Dweller (talk) 07:05, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

See above link to User:Skier Dude/O Skier Dude (talk) 15:55, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

None of that text addresses what I wrote. If you're going to speedy tag like a bot, use a bot account, which can be properly set up and monitored by the community. If you're going to do it as an editor, please do it with care. --Dweller (talk) 08:22, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

File:The Week Ahead IntelliStar.png

Hi.

File:The Week Ahead IntelliStar.png is not orphaned. It has never been. Did you mean to put ORFU tag on another file and put it on this one by mistake?

Look again between April 7 - 9 reverts & changes... [1] & [2] & [3] Skier Dude (talk) 15:52, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

I see! So, despite the look of the image, the file name was different. Still, correct me if I am wrong, but the speedy deletion tag was on the image when you put ORFUD on it, wasn't it? Fleet Command (talk) 17:20, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

Yep - I added the F5 after the F7 - just to assure that both reasons were being covered (belt & suspenders). Skier Dude (talk) 05:06, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

Request deletion of previous version of image per WP:BLPNAME

[[:File:Oksana Makar 2012 Ukraine.jpg|thumb|left|In the previous version of this file the other person was not cropped and pixelised; I believe that for privacy reasons (nobody knows this other person wants to be seen on English Wikipedia) this previous version should be deleted (at the moment it is not deleted) as soon as possible; I noticed you deleted previons versions of Wikipedia non-free historic files before. Hence I came to you with this request. — Yulia Romero • Talk to me! 21:21, 10 April 2012 (UTC)]]

done & thanks Skier Dude (talk) 05:03, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

Hello there. This image has been removed from the article for no particular reason, as far as I can tell. I will make it appear in the infobox of the article again. Could you please undelete it. Thanks in advance. --Kimse (talk) 17:39, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

Against All Will single artwork

Good morning, I added photos for "The Devil Made Me Do It" and "Tomorrow & Today" music artwork, because those two songs do not belong to an album. Is there a way to include these on Wikipedia?--Jax 0677 (talk) 13:21, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

Adarsh College

Hi Skier, got to know that you had previously deleted the article Adarsh College, but it has been restored and I'm creating only the talk page for it. Thought of informing you. Thanks -- Madhuric (talk) 13:48, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

The Raid Poster

Hi, I think the poster was changed because the title changed. You can delete if you like. Thanks for letting me know. Ennio morricone (talk) 13:38, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

File:Here on My Own.jpg

Hi,

You left me a message about File:Here on My Own.jpg which I uploaded for use in an article. It was orphaned because someone replaced it with a bigger version of the same image. This is a cover photo, the one I uploaded is 300x300 and the new one is 600x600. I'm not sure about the rules in this wikipedia, I thought copyrighted images can't be larger than 300x300. Can you tell me please if this rule is valid in English WP? thanks, – Alensha ^talk 21:40, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

Yep, the replacement is massively oversized- your's is the correct. If you feel comfortable replacing the image, be bold and go for it... elsewise I'll take care of it for you later tonight.Skier Dude (talk) 22:28, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

Thanks! I replaced the original image and put the large one on speedy deletion. – Alensha ^talk 23:26, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

Queen Elizabeth I anniversary

The redirect from Queen Elizabeth I anniversary was deleted by you under G8, the anniversary of Queen Elizabeth I was celebrated as a national holiday on Nov 17th for well over 200 years. It was also celebrated by the Protestant community. Was this a mistaken delete? ChrisGualtieri (talk) 05:55, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

Restored to the older redirect - newest was a non-existing article. Skier Dude (talk) 03:20, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

Problem is the article does exist, but I cannot target it with wiki-markup. It was supposed to be Elizabethan era#Festivals, holidays and celebrations, but I must have axed the 'an' and broke it when I copied it. With it deleted I couldn't see what I broke. I had to move the redirect when I was told the cultural aspect of Elizabeth I was given its own article. I'm still new to redirects as you can see. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 03:26, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

Help! please...

Hi,

I'm very new to attempting to edit Wikipedia and I put a request on the 'request for confirmation' page yesterday which you were kind enough to reply to.

I admit I'm quite confused and was hoping you might be able to help me, if you don't have time I understand.

I saw your comment that 'I should be autoconfirmed by then', but I can't find any information about how long, or what someone has to do, to become autoconfirmed.

In addition to this I would still like to alter Laurell K. Hamilton's page, but, I can't work out how to upload the photo correctly. The photo is available on her 'media' page on her website, and I emailed her personal assistant to ask whether I could use the photo to replace the rather awful photo currently on her Wikipedia page (and received approval), however, I tried to upload it using the upload wizard on the wikipedia commons page, and tried to correctly attribute it as 'Copyrighted with free use', and tried to include this copyright notice: {{Copyrighted free use provided that image is not altered in any way other than size and cropping}} (yes, I added those provisos to protect Ms Hamilton). The photo is freely available for download from her page, so I felt this was correct, but, it's not letting me complete the upload. I get this error: This does not seem to be valid wikitext, or does not contain a license.

I would like to later watch the page for any other alterations (by other people) and I'd like to learn how to properly add to and edit Wikipedia pages, but that'll take some time!!!

Again, I'm really sorry to annoy you, I can imagine you're insanely busy, but I'd appreciate the help.

Kind regards

As requested, link to page in question is: http://www.laurellkhamilton.org/laurell-k-hamilton/media-contact/ Thanks... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Larysaj (talk • contribs) 21:36, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

OK, looking at this, there is a clear copyright notification on the page... which means that uploading it without getting the "ticket" (confirmation of the copyright release) through the WP:OTRS system will mean that it would be deleted very quickly because of it being a copyrighted picture of a living person. Therefore, if you follow the link at WP:OTRS and have someone from Ms. Hamilton's organization (not you) send an e-mail to the wikimedia foundation (found on that page) with the appropriate release of the copyright - once that release is cleared and it is given a ticket number, the image can be used here. Without that, it's bound to be deleted... So, OTRS is the best way to go at this point. Skier Dude (talk) 06:12, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

MAKO Surgical Corp. deletion

Hello,

On November 22nd, 2011 you deleted the wikipedia page for MAKO Surgical Corp for the following reason: G8. Pages dependent on a non-existent or deleted page.

I admit I'm not familiar with all the reasons why an article gets deleted, but could you expand on why you deleted the page? What page was the article dependent on?

Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Waffles2.0 (talk • contribs) 19:12, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

MAKO Surgical Corp. was a redirect page to MAKO Surgical which was deleted on 24 November by Fastily as "spam" - see WP:NOTPROMOTION for the policy regarding this. Skier Dude (talk) 06:07, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

File:Chandrakant bakshi.jpg

The above photograph was taken by me so i don't think it was a copyrighted material in fact.What was the reason to delete it?

File:Chandrakant bakshi.jpg was deleted by Fastily on 07:32, 18 April 2012 because it did not have any source - the info provided was solely "image of him." Given the license provided, a source is needed for the image. Skier Dude (talk) 05:42, 19 April 2012 (UTC)

Article "List of trains run by Indian Railways" is long, unreferenced and links to several external internet sites

Hey, quick question for you. Should List of trains run by Indian Railways exist in its current form? It is somewhat indiscriminate, long, unreferenced and links to hundreds of external internet sites. I would like a second opinion before recommending to AfD. Thanks!--Jax 0677 (talk) 00:26, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
