ANI marked resolved

I marked this ANI discussion resolved based on what appears to be a mutually agreed-to solution. Note: I am not an administrator. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 04:48, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As a friend, I'm asking you to show some maturity on the site. People will take you more seriously if you do that. And tell Jeff to leave pages on fish alone! haha --FancyMustard (talk) 19:22, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Continuation of discussion over notability of Ohio high school sports conferences

Hello. You are receiving this message because you recently participated in an AfD discussion regarding the notability of high school sports conferences in Ohio State. While the AfD has been closed as no consensus, the discussion is continuing here. You are invited to participate. Thank you. --Jaysweet (talk) 20:17, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Golf infobox flags

There was discussion a while ago and the consensus was not to put flags in the golf tournament infoboxes.Tewapack (talk) 22:01, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image:1987OpenLogo.jpg

I replaced the version you uploaded with a scaled-down version. It is suitable for use in the infobox for 1987 U.S. Open Golf Championship. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 21:15, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Message

I have been travelling all day and returned to your message. Do you have anything important that you want to say to me?--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 22:23, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Golf images

I invite you to make sure all golf-related images are appropriately tagged. I also invite you to make sure that all non-free images, such as flags and logs, are appropriately sized - the size specified in the [[Image:...]] use on the page, the size specified in a template such as an infobox, or 300 pixels wide, whichever is less. 300 pixels corresponds to the largest "default" width for images that a user can put in his preferences. No non-free image should be larger than that except in rare cases where 1) the image usage explicitly states a larger size and 2) using a larger size can be justified for fair use. About the only examples I can think of are photographs or paintings where 300 pixesl wide would not show enough detail to uniquely identify the painting or allow criticism or commentary that appears in the article. This is uncommon in general and virtually unheard of with logos.

In the case of 1987 U.S. Open Golf Championship, I chose 150 pixels wide because in the infobox, it says image=[[Image:1987OpenLogo.jpg|150px]].

If you need help learning how to do this, I'll be happy to teach you. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 00:59, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Following up to my own comment: I see from a comment from June 16 that somewhere there is a discussion that says there is a consensus not to use flags in infoboxes. I would encourage you to find that discussion and read it. If there is such a consensus, then the flags should not be used in infoboxes. This may mean that some of the golf-related logos that are tournament flags will have to be deleted from Wikipedia. Get in touch with User:Tewapack/User talk:Tewapack if you need help tracking down that discussion. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 01:03, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, BurpTheBaby. You have new messages at Stepshep's talk page.

§hep • ¡Talk to me! 18:56, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You have to include a fair use rationale. The copyright tag is not a rationale. §hep • ¡Talk to me! 05:18, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Then explain to me how to put them there. You know other logos exist. Merely putting them up for deletion isn't right. --BurpTheBaby (Talk) 05:20, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The message I gave you, which your promptly deleted. Explained exactly how to fix the issue. §hep • ¡Talk to me! 05:23, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No it didn't. It said include this. How do you include this fair use rational? Davidwr on the 1987 logo just simply wrote the reason as I did in the edit summary and you did not re-add the deletion tag to that logo. --BurpTheBaby (Talk) 05:26, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Seems I missed one then. And I quote: "Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale." If you follow the link given fair use rationale that page explains what needs to be done. §hep • ¡Talk to me! 05:30, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, well I'm going to need a night of sleep to digest all those instructions. Please don't relist them for a couple days. I'll make the appropriate edits. Have a good one. --BurpTheBaby (Talk) 05:32, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Might I suggest using Image:2008OpenLogo.gif as a good model for these logos. §hep • ¡Talk to me! 05:35, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's been a week. What's up? §hep • ¡Talk to me! 20:51, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why don't you fix your articles? You've completely ignored them since the original AfD was sent to the project page. --BurpTheBaby (Talk) 02:49, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This isn't about articles but violations of copyright. PS Thanks for notifying of all the discussions you started about this. §hep • ¡Talk to me! 00:27, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You can find them in my contribs as you are clearly stalking me. --BurpTheBaby (Talk) 06:43, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Golf logos

Re talking to Ryan on the logos, is has been my experience that many people are happy to say "yes you can use it", but are less happy to go to the trouble of writing to Wikipedia and issuing a formal permission. Could you email him, asking him to endorse a statement that he releases all images located at (can't remember the web address) under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 license. That way he only has to say yes and reply. You should include a link to http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ so he knows what he is agreeing to.

New York State Routes

See my reply on SandyGeorgia's talk page. I find it quite outrageous that I'm being badgered for working on articles that you personally believe are meaningless, and I would appreciate if you would cease doing so. Thank you. –Juliancolton ^Tropical ^Cyclone 00:15, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Note

This, against the consensus of AfD and the article's talk page, is unacceptable. WP:BOLD does not apply here. –Juliancolton ^Tropical ^Cyclone 16:32, 31 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

SPI case

See the results posted at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/GroundhogTheater. I'm posting this to the talk pages of all 5 accounts. You can communicate with me by email if you like. — Rlevse • Talk • 22:39, 8 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (File:2002OpenLogo.jpg)

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:03, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
