Orphaned non-free media (File:The Paris Review Issue 202.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:The Paris Review Issue 202.jpg. 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 '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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 05:11, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

Training event for UK Wikimedians

Wikimedia UK is committed to supporting our volunteers and to encourage them to teach others how to edit Wikipedia, we are running a weekend training workshop. When the last event was being arranged you noted your interest, so you may like to know that the next event will take place on the weekend of 23–24 February in Newcastle. Also, if you know anyone based in Scotland or northern England who might be interested going to the training please feel free to tell them about it. Richard Nevell (WMUK) (talk) 13:17, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the notification, and I'm pleased to see an event away from London. Unfortunately, this is geographically too far for me to reasonably consider attending. I hope the event receives some interest via Wikipedia talk:WikiProject North East England#Training event for UK Wikimedians, Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Scotland#Training event for UK Wikimedians and elsewhere. The WMUK talk is noted. Cheers. -- Trevj (talk) 09:40, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

We hope to be running another training session later this year. The venue has yet to be decided though it may well be outside London because we want to expand our reach. If you want I can drop you a note nearer the time. Richard Nevell (WMUK) (talk) 10:12, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

Yes, please. Personally, I should be able to get to London OK, although Cardiff, Exeter, Birmingham, Manchester (to name just a few places easily accessible without having to take the car) would also be feasible. Thanks. -- Trevj (talk) 10:18, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

Hi Trevj, your thoughts on the location were shared by many of the people who noted interest in the training event. As such we've decided to move it to Manchester on the same dates. If you're interested details of the event are here. Richard Nevell (WMUK) (talk) 14:10, 18 January 2013 (UTC)

Thanks very much for the update. I'd love to attend but unfortunately I now have another engagement on that day, which is rather a shame. -- Trevj (talk) 08:16, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know (and leaving an update on the UK wiki), hopefully you can make the next training session. Richard Nevell (WMUK) (talk) 11:44, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

Blast from the past! And it was too different to the previously deleted version anyway.

Hi Trevj, are you editing right now? --Floquenbeam (talk) 13:17, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

Kind-of, yes. Why? -- Trevj (talk) 13:21, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

Do you mind if I remove the example pages of a vanished user you added to M's MFD? I understand it was well-intentioned and in good-faith, but it seems suboptimal to draw particular attention to a vanished user. They're usually trying not to have attention drawn to them. --Floquenbeam (talk) 13:21, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

No problem. You can revdel them too if you like: either point to this discussion, or I can make that request myself if policy prescribes as much. I'll try to remember not to make such references here in the future. Cheers. -- Trevj (talk) 13:25, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

Thanks. I don't think revdel'ing it is needed. I'm about 97% sure this is not even an issue and I'm being silly and overly-protective, but since I ran across it I thought I'd stick my nose in. --Floquenbeam (talk) 13:27, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

Trevj, I don't want to be seen as badgering you or campaigning for your support, but if you require diffs or explanations for any of the questions raised in the RfA discussion, please ask. I am happy to supply both. Thanks. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 15:29, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

Understood. I would like to have an extended conversation with you when the RfA is over, perhaps offline, to correct some of the misunderstandings generated by the RfA and to establish a good working relationship going forward. Best regards, Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 17:30, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

Wakefield RiscOS show?

Hey there.

Are you going to be at the show this year? I've just checked the date and I can't make it - which is a shame, as it will be the first one I've ever missed, but can't be helped. If so, good luck, and I hope you garner more recruits for the cause! Chaheel Riens (talk) 08:56, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

Hi and happy New Year! Yes, I'm going, but haven't yet (IIRC) enquired about hosting a formal stand - we'll see nearer the time. Sorry to hear you can't make it. I'd like to focus on a number of things here on Wikipedia, but seem to be becoming increasingly distracted by other areas! Perhaps between now and the show, the WP:RISCOS to do list will exist as a pointer. We also now have just about all the Acorn Users as PDFs at http://8bs.com/

• Personally, I think that the Acorn Archimedes article could present summary of a lot of the history, subject to main (notable) hardware lines having their own articles.
• Just creating stubs for a lot of the commonly used software would, I think, also be helpful to newcomers who'd like to add stuff... and I intend to work on this some time.

I expect to be busy elsewhere until later on this month, but hope to look at things from then. Please feel free to drop me another note here whenever you like, or (more widely) at WT:RISCOS of course. All the best and hope to see you soon. Cheers. -- Trevj (talk) 09:43, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

Thanks. I sometimes include {{Reflist talk}}, which is what confused things. I've also attempted to tidy up the various discussions per WP:TPYES, so that replies are on the initial pages - this should help to clarify things for others in the future.

"RfC" for RfA guideline changes re canvassing and thank-yous

Trev, are you interested in jointly pursuing this? If not, I understand. If so, I am willing to do the upfront legwork in drafting/preparing the proposed clarifications and the proposal; I would rely on you to guide the discussion after the requested change is posted on the RfA guideline talk page. I think we both agree this should be done. For obvious reasons, however, I don't want to be "outfront" in leading the discussion or even as a secondary participant, except to give the proposal my endorsement. I will be happy to leave the back-and-forth to others. Regards, Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 18:07, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Yes, I am - and I'm sure there'll be plenty of others too! I've not checked recently about the nomination process, but perhaps a few extra words of guidance (for !voters) could be included in {{RfA}}. Something along the lines of generally acceptable conduct and generally unacceptable conduct, perhaps in a collapsible box? This could be publicised at WT:RFA. What format are you thinking of? Cheers. -- Trevj (talk) 19:36, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

Trev, I'm thinking we keep it as simple and as narrowly defined as possible, and we seek to cure only the immediate problem(s). Anything that opens up the idea of a general RfA code of conduct will immediately draw fire as such proposals always have in the past, and it will get stuck in unending discussion and debate with no conclusion and no discernible consensus. Hopefully, strong majorities will see and understand the need to plug these holes, and I would suggest that we market it as a "clarification" rather than change, reform, etc. If we can successfully address these two discrete issues, I say we declare victory and leave the bigger problems for others down the road. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 19:49, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

Hi. I've done a few things in sandboxes, so if you're thinking along the same lines as me then please amend. If you're thinking of a different approach then fair enough. In any case, I think this discussion needs to be taken to WT:RFA once we're clear on the form the clarification could take.

• {{RfA/sandbox}} is based on {{RfA}}
• It includes the #Conduct clarification section, which is currently at Template:RfA conduct clarification/sandbox - if this approach is adopted, it may be best to directly include the text, due to the substitution.
• User:Trevj/Template:Editnotices/Group/Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/sandbox is based on {{Editnotices/Group/Wikipedia:Requests for adminship}} (in userspace because of the protection on editnotices).

What do you think? Do you agree it'd also be informative to point people to User talk:MBisanz/Archive 16#RfA concluded? And are you also contacting Leaky caldron and KillerChihuahua, per that discussion? Cheers. -- Trevj (talk) 11:07, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

Trev, I am involved in a large RL business transaction today, and will be unavailable to respond at any length (if at all) during the business day. Please bear with me; I should be online again after 7 p.m. EST (12 a.m. GMT/UTC). Thanks for understanding my slow response. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 12:08, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

Not a problem. -- Trevj (talk) 12:44, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

Hey, Trev. I'm back and checking my WP watch list again. Just read comments by Gerda and you below. What are the APA and "edit notice" to which you refer? Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 14:31, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Even after a bit of sleep, I'm still none the wiser about the APA. As for the edit notice, I'm referring to User:Trevj/Template:Editnotices/Group/Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/sandbox. -- Trevj (talk) 14:51, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

You are wasting your time on this. Get the APA done instead. (look at me trying to act all cool and all.) ;-) TCO (talk) 02:35, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. It's late here: what's APA, please? Cheers. -- Trevj (talk) 03:51, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

I now wonder whether the (collapsed) conduct clarification shouldn't be included within the edit notice too... currently the link there requires postponing the edit, in order to open a new window and view the clarification. -- Trevj (talk) 11:54, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

IMO, it certainly could not hurt. Realistically, I expect that there would be more opposition to the inclusion of the collapsed conduct clarification because some editors will fear its as another step in the creeping dawn of a mandatory RFA code of conduct that will limit their ability to freely criticize RfA candidates. While I support your proposed step, I suggest that it be discussed separately from the canvassing/thank-you clarifications. I perceive the latter as much less potentially controversial and much more easily adopted by talk page consensus. Pick the easy, low-hanging fruit first. BTW, like you, I have no idea what "APA" is. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 15:18, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

I'm happy to go ahead with the collapsed conduct clarification thing and see what others think. I'm considering going ahead and making a post at WT:RFA, where you could expand on your thoughts. Are you OK with that, or would you prefer to initiate the discussion and then me chime in with my thoughts instead? Cheers. -- Trevj (talk) 10:05, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

Go ahead, Trev. I'll follow your lead. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 12:24, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

 Done at Wikipedia talk:Requests for adminship#Proposal for RfA conduct clarification (amendments to editnotice and addition to Template:RfA). -- Trevj (talk) 21:06, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

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 '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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:37, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

Article Feedback deployment

Hey Trevj; I'm dropping you this note because you've used the article feedback tool in the last month or so. On Thursday and Friday the tool will be down for a major deployment; it should be up by Saturday, failing anything going wrong, and by Monday if something does :). Thanks, Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 23:07, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

Tagging for Commons

Hi Trevj. Some of the images you have tagged as okay to move to the Commons are copyright violations. For example, the image File:Martyn Burke photo.jpg is visible on several websites when a Google search is completed, including http://trustmovies.blogspot.ca/2011/11/martyn-burkes-documentary-under-fire.html, where it was uploaded in 2011. Here's another one that's a lot more subtle: File:Duffy arriving to perform at David Letterman Show in New York.jpg showed in the metadata that it is owned by mavrixphoto.com and was taken in 2008. Whoever uploaded it to Flickr was performing what we call Flickr washing; they upload an image to Flickr and fraudulently present it as being their own work. In addition to the evidence in the metadata, copies of the image are visible in several places online that pre-date the upload to Flickr. Please don't tag things as OK for Commons until you have done a thorough search on Google and had a look at the metadata. The images most likely to be copyright are celebrity photos and portraits of other notable people. -- Dianna (talk) 04:29, 16 March 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the note. I thought I'd done a Tineye search for these, but perhaps not. I'll also pay more attention to the metadata. Sorry. While you're here, as the admin who deleted a non-free revision of File:Flashback HD anonymous 2013 image Gameblog.jpg (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs), you may wish to comment on the discussion linked to from #Orphaned non-free media (File:Flashback HD anonymous 2013 image Gameblog.jpg). Thanks. -- Trevj (talk) 09:38, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

There's also a Google Search available; it's on a pull-down menu across the top near the edit button. It appears whenever you are viewing a file page. Thanks -- Dianna (talk) 13:23, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

The Google Search link only appears if you add certain code to your common.js file (which I see that Diannaa has done, possibly by copying the code from my common.js file). --Stefan2 (talk) 08:55, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the (s)talk page addition - I was going to check my browser. That code works a treat. Cheers. -- Trevj (talk) 13:52, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

Sorry Trev, I forgot a script was required. -- Dianna (talk) 14:11, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

No problem. In any case, I'll exercise more caution now. -- Trevj (talk) 14:20, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
