[edit] Re: Justin Beaver

Hi, Ryanjcole! The images were copyright violations and had to go. Was there some sort of release or permission I should be aware of? Please get back to me on my talk page. east.718 at 01:36, December 24, 2007

OK, we generally delete images that are suspected copyright violation on sight. I will restore the images - in the meantime, please send an email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org to verify that you are indeed the copyright holder. I apologize for all the hoops you've got to jump through, but they're there just to protect the copyright holders of images. Thanks for contributing such high-quality content! east.718 at 01:46, December 24, 2007

Just so you know, images with watermarks are discouraged, but generally not removed unless there is a superior image. Also, since you're releasing your images under a free license, anybody can crop or otherwise modify them to whatever extent they wish. All the best, east.718 at 10:08, December 24, 2007

[edit] Merry Christmas!

[edit] Profanity

Dear User:Ryanjcole, I have some negative feedback for you. I wonder if you might refrain from using the words 'jesus christ' (or any other profanities) as you did an a recent edit summary. It's annoying to many at very least, and certainly does not show the assumption of good faith. Mannafredo (talk) 09:41, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Image:Skille scores.jpg

A tag has been placed on Image:Skille scores.jpg, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read our the guidelines on spam as well as the Wikipedia:Business' FAQ for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Mannafredo (talk) 12:34, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

I'm surprised that watermarked images are accepted - it appears to be advertising you, if not the images, and I don't think it's in the spirit of Wikipedia. Still, I've restored the images. In the article, an editor changed the date of birth by two years, which I rolled back, but I don't know which is actually correct. Jimfbleak (talk) 17:25, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Watermarked images are generally not acceptible for use in Wikipedia - see Wikipedia:Image use policy#User-created images. —  Tivedshambo  _(t/c) 18:52, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

I knocked up a terrible edit removing the watermark: Image talk:Skille scores.jpg. Mahalo nui loa. --Ali'i 19:59, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
