Speedy deletion nomination of File:1200px-Ted Lewis.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:1200px-Ted Lewis.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

October 2020

I noticed that a message you recently left to WP: AIV may have been unduly harsh. Please remember not to bite the newcomers. If you see others making a common mistake, consider politely pointing out what they did wrong and showing them how to correct it. It takes more time, but it helps us retain new editors. Thank you. --67.85.37.186 (talk) 16:28, 16 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Note please stop reporting newbie editors. --67.85.37.186 (talk) 16:28, 16 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Slow down a little

You've made multiple invalid CSD nominations, multiple SPIs accusing users with no evidence or based on just their username, and you're giving users instant level 4 warnings for minor issues. Please also don't make UAA reports for promotional usernames until they have edited, and don't report users to AIV if they've made 1 edit like you did here (which wasn't even spam, they added 1 red link, that's it). Dylsss (talk) 16:32, 16 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I came here to say the same thing. I have just declined almost all of your CheckUser requests at WP:SPI because you presented insufficient evidence of sockpuppetry. Note that the use of multiple accounts is allowed; only the use of multiple accounts for illegitimate purposes is disallowed. A user cannot be misusing multiple accounts if they have never edited with the accounts in the first place. Perhaps they wanted a new username, or perhaps they wanted to keep a separate watchlist.

CheckUser is not for fishing. Please slow down, and do not file any more frivolous requests. Mz7 (talk) 16:38, 16 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. Read WP: BITE . See warning above. 67.85.37.186 (talk) 16:57, 16 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Dylsss: Alright. I won't make those requests like that unless if it is misused. Zangoose&SeviperMan4055 (talk) 17:07, 16 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'll reply to the message you left on my talk page here. Disruptive editing is problematic and monitoring for it is appreciated, but falsely accusing others of vandalism or other transgressions is itself disruptive. Understanding what is not vandalism and not biting the newcomers is important. Think of it this way: how would you have felt if you made a mistake on your first edit, one that was clearly not vandalism, and you received an intimidating final warning notice on your talk page for that? --Kinu ^t/_c 17:47, 16 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

As soon as I posted this, I noticed this warning. Seriously, please stop making disruptive nominations. --Kinu ^t/_c 17:53, 16 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Obviously I would feel bad. Zangoose&SeviperMan4055 (talk) 18:00, 16 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Give them the same courtesy. --67.85.37.186 (talk) 21:03, 16 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Lou Reed profile IMAGE

Two Wikipedia users—“Freshacconci” and “Doctorhawkes”—have been repeatedly reverting my edits on the Lou Reed Wikipedia page without explaining why. For over a year now the profile photo of Reed has been the following Wikimedia Commons file: Lou Reed 1977.JPG (see top right).

This is an iconic image of Reed during his glam rock period, in which, many would argue, his greatest work was recorded. Reed’s whole image as an artist was based on youth, rebellion, anti-authority, etc., and this photo perfectly encapsulates that. However, for whatever reason, the photo was recently replaced by another photo: Lou reed.jpg. (see bottom right).

This photo shows Reed as a frail-looking old man, barely recognizable, and thus a total misrepresentation of the robust, attractive young man who recorded “White Light White Heat, “The Velvet Underground and Nico,” and “Transformer.” Therefore, I switched the photo back to what it was before (Lou Reed 1977.JPG). Unfortunately, the said users promptly began an edit war, immediately reverting my changes without explanation, and, further, harassing and threatening me. They have accused me of being “disruptive” on Lou Reed’s page and informed me that, as a result, I may be blocked from editing without warning. Hmm. How does that work? To the best of my knowledge users are free to edit whatever they want, as long as the content is appropriate and the editing follows Wikipedia’s policies, which mine does. Just because one user disagrees with another, and makes appropriate edits accordingly, doesn’t necessarily make one or both of them “disruptive.” This is a pretty immature stance. The whole point of Wikipedia is to build and sustain a free, community-based encyclopedia, and the said users are doing a disservice to the project by instead creating a hostile, totalitarian environment in which people do not feel welcome to contribute.

@Jescoromas: Must've been hard for you. I wouldn't worry too much about them. Zangoose&SeviperMan4055 (talk) 20:16, 16 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I'm actually not an administrator of this wiki, just thought I'd let you know. Zangoose&SeviperMan4055 (talk) 20:19, 16 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
