Disputed non-free use rationale for File:GuitaretisAndBand.png

edit
 

Thank you for uploading File:GuitaretisAndBand.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Lәo(βǃʘʘɱ) 04:31, 30 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Hohner guitaret.jpg

edit
 

A tag has been placed on File:Hohner guitaret.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

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 that has been nominated for deletion (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 page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Orphaned non-free image File:Guiteretist.png

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:Guiteretist.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images 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 "file" 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Conflict of interest in Guitaret

edit

Hi, I saw the great work you did in Guitaret, however, in Wikipedia we can't host manuals of any type. Wikibooks exists for that purpose. Also, be careful uploading copyrighted images. You uploaded images extracted from a manual from 1963 and you tagged them as public domain. That's not public domain. Images from 1939 or earlier, are public domain. Also, my actions are not unjustified, I left you an answer in Talk:Guitaret, so please don't do unjustified things after you check them. Cheers, MisterWiki talk contribs 16:04, 30 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

Hello

edit

Hi. I apologize for the conduct of MisterWiki, he is a bit overly enthusiastic about enforcing our rules [of which we have way too many]. I've just had a word with him about a different case where he was a bit too zealous too, and happened to notice this. If you run into any more trouble with him or elsewhere, please let me know, and I'll try to help out. Cheers, henriktalk 15:41, 31 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

Hi Henrik, thanks for that. Unfortunately, subsequent to this, and subsequent to your talk with him, he went and did it again. He also went and hacked the articel I created on Electric Lamellophones (beforehand they pointed to an instance, the Space Harp, so I added an article to show the range and variety. He removed all of that). Any clues as to what I should do next? I don't want to go and change it again, only to have him delete it again. I have no clear picture of how I should deal with it/him, and right now am pretty much prepared to give up on Wikipedia completely. If he is ignoring you, and you have an impressive track record for dealing with this kind of thing, I can't see any way forward. DiarmuidPigott (talk) 14:20, 1 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

Either here, or on my talk page is fine. :) I would hope for a bit of patience, he's a young editor who's somewhat overenthusiastic and his intentions comes out all wrong. I'll tell him to stay away from you entirely, and let someone else work with you on these articles. henriktalk 13:09, 2 January 2010 (UTC)Reply
Many thanks for your help - no wonder you get so many Barnstars DiarmuidPigott (talk) 15:49, 2 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

Hi there DiarmuidPigott. Maybe I was so rude with you before. I want to let you know that I can help you improving the article. I should have been more patient with you and point you out what to do correctly. If you want help, reach me on my talk page. Cheers, MW talk contribs 19:59, 2 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

It's great that you understand you could have dealt with it better and that you're offering to help, MisterWiki. :)
DiarmuidPigott: I've talked to MisterWiki privately, and discussed this thing with him. I think he understands now, and hopefully we can move forward on a more positive note. I'll watch the articles for a while. henriktalk 20:08, 2 January 2010 (UTC)Reply
