Chicago Bears seasons at WP:FLRC

You are one of the leading editors of Chicago Bears. Chicago Bears seasons has been listed at Wikipedia:Featured list removal candidates/Chicago Bears seasons for removal from the set of featured lists under the WP:FLRC procedures. I am not sure who to turn to, but the original WP:FLC nominator is unable to save the article. I hope you will consider responding to the discussion page issues and save the list.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 02:00, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Don't be anal

Thanks for moving that, forgot the Wikipedia part. Can you look at this? I have no idea what it means. Else they got the reason wrong. ——Martin^phi ☎ Ψ Φ—— 03:27, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

It is the automated message generated by the Twinkle script by someone else who tagged it for speedy deletion. Because I moved it, I think you can basically ignore it. I think we all have been a little trigger happy, because I was wrong in making these deletions because a redirect from the main article namespace to the Wikipedia namespace is currently not covered under WP:CSD (only to the Talk:, User: or User talk: namespace from the article space). Cheers. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 03:30, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

See RFD for Don't be anal. Your comment is welcome. --Enric Naval (talk) 19:13, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

This page was speedy deleted by User:Dreadstar at 20:04, 17 August 2008 UTC[1] Deleting admin cited WP:CNR, which is currently a moderately controversial essay, not a deletion policy, although "general consensus seems to be that newly created cross-namespace redirects should be deleted" (emphasis added). This admin is the opinion that if something is not policy, then the "When in doubt, don't speedy delete" rule applies. However, the page is only minor that a WP:DRV request is not need at this time, based on the reason cited in the RFD discussion that an actual article on the phrase "Don't be anal" may be needed in the future. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 21:00, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your wise comment. I happen to agree hearthfully with WP:CNR, altought I have argued occassionally for the preservation of certain redirects that were really uselful to wikipedia, like WP:GURCH. Basically, CNRs are evil :) , but they are OK when there is a justified use for them. Cheers. --Enric Naval (talk) 22:05, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Indianapolis Colts helmet rightface.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:Indianapolis Colts helmet rightface.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. 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.

Non-free use disputed for Image:Ouellet_approaches_to_sign_the_Constitution.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Ouellet_approaches_to_sign_the_Constitution.jpg. Unfortunately, I think that you have not provided a proper rationale for using this image under "fair use". Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page. Note that the image description page must include the exact name or a link to each article the image is used in and a separate rationale for each one. (If a link is used, automated processes may improperly add the related tag to the image. Please change the fair use template to refer to the exact name, if you see this warning.)

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted after seven days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -Nard 18:52, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

As noted in my comments on Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion/2008 July 10#Image:Ouellet approaches to sign the Constitution.jpg, the version that was originally uploaded here locally by myself at 00:47, 1 August 2006 UTC was a {{c-uploaded}} image, temporary for main page protection. The admin who undeleted and restored it, User:Rmhermen at 18:57, 9 July 2008, – or any other user who voted to keep the image – should be responsible for providing a fair use rationale. I do not care whether it is kept or not. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 19:37, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Pine Hill, California

Regrettably your reverts got in the middle of my edits. I can see why cut an paste is not desirable. However, the issue is still in error. The editor that you noted my conflict with cited Lisco, Nebraska as the example to follow and then undid my work in contradiction with his own example. Are you guys willing to let this error stand because of the incorrect US Census name? Why not at least follow the Nebraska example and use the correct name (I provide the County of Humboldt as proof) for the article and use the bold incorrect pluralization of the community to begin the text of the article? Thank you for your time. Norcalal 06:58, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

The policies on the cutting and pasting of the article is pretty much an objective rule because as stated on Help:Moving a page, "The GFDL requires acknowledgement of all contributors, and editors continue to hold copyright on their contributions unless they specifically give up this right. Hence it is required that edit histories be preserved for all major contributions until the normal copyright expires".

If you had simply used the move page function as you did earlier,[2] (and since at the time before your edit,[3] you could have done so as a normal user because it was just a redirect to the old title, with just one line in the page history), I probably would not have stepped in and reverted your action.

On the issue in dispute: As I stated elsewhere on that talk page, I do not care exactly what the article should be named. Wikipedia:Naming conventions (settlements) does not specifically address whether an article on a CDP should use the official name used by the U.S. Census Bureau, or the local convention and spelling. All I originally saw was that you and another editor were almost on the verge of an edit war. But I am glad that you followed my recommendation and posted a request on WP:RM. At least there is another editor who offered an alternative: leave one article about the CDP, and create another one on the community itself – because the community may not encompass the entire territory that the Census Bureau defines as the CDP. Thanks. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 03:50, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Protecting Main page images

I know that you are busy, and very experienced at images on the Main Page, but you forgot to protect commons:Image:Odwalla HQ.JPG (Image:Odwalla HQ.JPG) which meant that any vandal could have got a dodgy picture for the TFA! Just a little reminder to remember to do it next time. ;) Regards. Woody (talk) 21:34, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

So you mean that User:MPUploadBot is not doing what I thought what is was suppose to do? Zzyzx11 (Talk) 21:38, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

Not in this case apparently. Hasn't edited today. Perhaps bring it up with the operator? I was unaware of the existence of the bot. Regards. Woody (talk) 21:43, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

Also, what you just did by just saving a tag on the image description page here locally does not help because it is still getting the image from Commons, which is was unprotected there (I just protected it, just now there). You either have to save the image directly on Commons (if you are an admin there) or actually save and upload the image locally on Wikipedia here. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 21:46, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

(e/c) Yes, I had just noticed that, but then noticed you had protected it over at Commons so no need now. Thanks and regards. Woody (talk) 21:50, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

Colours on Villa lists

I have made some edits to the Aston Villa F.C. players list; can you make sure that it is acceptable please? In terms of the Aston Villa F.C. seasons list, I am not seeing where anything is portrayed by colour that isn't in the text anyway. The gold is merely emphasising that they are winners, and the same for the runners-up grey, it is emphasis and not highlighting anything not in the text already. The promoted relegated is also highlighted by the bold in the division table so it is again a matter of emphasis and not portraying information not available elsewhere in the text. Thanks and regards. Woody (talk) 12:03, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

I did not see anything wrong with the gold and the grey colours indicating winners and runners-up. But at first glance, it seemed like the colours marking promotion and relegation did not comply since the "Division" column is 8 columns away from the "Pos" column, and the highlighting is not used on the same row as the corresponding bolding. Normally I (and probably many other users) would expect that the alternate text method would be in the same table cell, row or column – not go 8 columns to the left and one row down – which makes it harder to find it.
