Bethune photos

{{User:ClueBot III/ArchiveNow}} Please see my note on the Peter Bethune talk page about uploading his photo. I went ahead and moved the link you deleted to the "external links" section of the article. Ghostofnemo (talk) 01:28, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

I'm trying to allow a way for readers to access a photo of Bethune, since I'm unsure about the Wiki policy on this. The photos are designated "copyright free" on the web site. Why do you keep deleting the links to the photos on the Earthrace web site? Is there a Wikipedia policy against linking to copyright free photos? Ghostofnemo (talk) 01:46, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Stop indenting comments to yourself The policy is to not have comments in the middle of teh article directing people towards another section of the article and there was already a link to the earthrace site. See WP:IMAGES for your information on uploading and such for images.--Terrillja _talk 01:48, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

I've already looked there, but it says images of living people can only be uploaded under very restricted circumstances that I don't understand. Why are you removing the link to the photos? We should at least have a link to a Bethune photo until we figure this out or someone posts a photo. Ghostofnemo (talk) 01:52, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

If the image is freely released, then it can be used. Given that the site says that it can be used for any use, the image would be licensed as public domain. Either way, there is no rush to link an image this very second. The page has been there for days without an image, an hour to figure out how to upload an image does not constitute an emergency.--Terrillja _talk 01:59, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

I looked here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Non-free_content#Policy The Earthrace web site says the images are copyright free and can be used by the media, individuals, etc. but it doesn't say they can be used commercially or altered, which seems to be what Wikipedia is requiring. Ghostofnemo (talk) 02:02, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Then I'd email the earthrace webmaster, following the instructions here: WP:COPYREQ--Terrillja _talk 02:05, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Will you allow me to put the link to the photo page back into the article until this is resolved? Ghostofnemo (talk) 02:06, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

No, because the page will be fine for a few days without an image. Wikipedia will not come to a halt because a page is missing an image and the updated external link goes right to his profile along with an image. Thus, there is no need at this time.--Terrillja _talk 02:08, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

There's no image of Bethune on the profile page you added. Ghostofnemo (talk) 02:10, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Do you have an actual reason for not allowing an external link to that the page with the images of Bethune? Ghostofnemo (talk) 02:13, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

There is a picture of him holding a radio. I checked on two browsers, not sure what the issues is on your end. I don't want redundant links. I like nice, clean pages without multiple links to the same website, which is in line with the manual of style. Linking to his profile makes more sense than linking to a gallery of images on the same site.--Terrillja _talk 02:16, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

I'm using Mozilla Firefox 3.0.18 and there is only a image of Earthrace in the banner at the top. Ghostofnemo (talk) 02:24, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

I think readers having access to a picture of the subject of an article is a higher priority than style preferences. Ghostofnemo (talk) 02:22, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

This seems like WP:disruptive editing on your part. I have to leave now, but if you don't restore the link to the photos page, I am considering making a complaint on the administrators notice board about your deletions. Ghostofnemo (talk) 02:28, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

It works fine on Google Chrome and Safari, so I can only guess at what is wrong on your end, but perhaps there is some extension that is not causing it to render correctly. If you feel that bringing up your intentions to add comments to the body of an article (against MOS) and ignoring my advice on where to look for information on how to get permission and upload an image was the correct thing for you to do, feel free to open a thread, but I think anyone can see that I have tried to provide you with the information on how to upload an image and why adding multiple links to the same site does not make sense. I'm not sure where the emergency is to add an image, I'm sure if you email the webmaster you will get a response within a few days and can have an image there by the end of the weekend, just a week after the article was created. That's pretty fast in wiki-time. Most BLPs don't even have an image.--Terrillja _talk 02:51, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

I believe about 30% of internet users are now using Mozilla Firefox as their web browser. First you deleted the link, with no comment on the article talk page. Then, you deleted it a second time, with no comment on the article talk page, and linked it to a page which apparently does not display the picture for a large number of internet users. You refuse to let me put an external link to the pictures of Bethune which will display. I don't know how long you're going to run me around in circles over this. I will try to find a picture of Bethune that does not link to that same web page. If you delete that external link, I will most likely make a complaint. Ghostofnemo (talk) 05:01, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Or you could just email the webmaster as I have already told you twice and upload an image with their permission. That is the desired outcome anyways, so why waste time arguing over whose browser is better?--Terrillja _talk 05:05, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but when you made the first deletion, stating it belonged in the external links section, but instead of moving it, just deleted it, and then when I moved it you deleted it again, it's hard for me to take your advice at face value. Ghostofnemo (talk) 05:15, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Also, I've never posted a photo on Wikipedia. I have no idea what to say to the web master or even what the Wikipedia policy actually is. Ghostofnemo (talk) 05:17, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Scroll up, I have linked pages that tell you how to ask for permission to use images on wikipedia. WP:COPYREQ should answer most of your questions.--Terrillja _talk 05:22, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Please see article talk page for my response and to continue the discussion there, where all concerned editors can see what is going on. Ghostofnemo (talk) 06:03, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Deletions of material and references from Peter Bethune article

{{User:ClueBot III/ArchiveNow}} I've started a discussion section on the talk page of the Peter Bethune article to discuss your recent, extensive deletions, which I feel disrupt the NPOV of the "Captain of Ady Gil" section of the article. Please respond to the discussion on the article talk page. Thanks. Ghostofnemo (talk) 18:14, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

Semi your talk page?

If you want. --Floquenbeam (talk) 23:42, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

I'd like to get the socks if possible and they aren't doing much. Ideally I'd like to get a checkuser to find the socks first, but SPI moves painfully slow these days.--Terrillja _talk 23:44, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

Self-endorsed your SPI for CU attention and transcluded it to the queue. Elockid ^(Talk) 23:49, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

Reverts by sock

Why are those socks (Fdjgndfg4) reverting to your version? Is it a coincidence or are you somehow special? Just curious.Pirate^Argh!!1! 18:19, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

They are using WP:POPUPS on my contributions. I've never used it, but I have to assume there is some way they can just undo directly from my contributions. As for why my contributions, I have been the most active out about going after the socks and getting them blocked, so they decided to mess with me. Then again I have the rollback all script, so it really doesn't matter.--Terrillja _talk 18:40, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

Deletion

{{User:ClueBot III/ArchiveNow}} Hey, I'm new, the python list comprehension is my first article. Could you please explain how it violates copyright? The program is totally open source, what's wrong with quoting a site and giving it credit? And if it really is bad, I will take out that quote and write my own thing.

Replied on talkpage of article, please keep all discussion there.--Terrillja _talk 02:24, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

Um what was that for???

{{User:ClueBot III/ArchiveNow}} So u just randomly put this on my Roobin Joooonas page, why??? Its my Show on YouTube—Preceding unsigned comment added by Filmbuff1109 (talk • contribs)

See wp:coi and wp:n. Just because something exists does not make it notable, and you should not edit articles that you have a close relationship to or are the subject of.--Terrillja _talk 02:31, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

Why not? thats what wikipedia is for to learn about stuff. If it wasnt for wikipedia i wouldent have known about Let Sleeping Corpses Lie (film) a great film.

Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. That incudes information about your activities on youtube.--Terrillja _talk 16:39, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

Well EVERY time i make a page (accurate or not) its deleted, i made one on an actor in the movie Still Waiting... that was deleted
