Spree Killers

Comment

I have deleted your edit on spree killers as it makes unsubstantiated claims, e.g. "the most infamous" (you might find a reference but I think it would likely be disputed) and from then on it contains information that is contained within the Martin Bryant and Port Arthur massacre articles. Please remember that things that are true in Australia might not be true worldwide. The other information is generalised below the list of spree killers. However it may be that you could fill that section out a bit. It might also be useful to have a short summary of relevant information about the killings after the entry on the list. If you are going to do it for Bryant though, I would suggest you do it for at least a few others otherwise it will tend to bias the article. Thanks for your contribution but I should warn you that you are unlikely to get an explanation for each deletion of your work - as soon as you put it in Wikipedia you do not own it as it is released under the GDFL - Zarboki 13:46, 28 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Edit at the Red Lake Massacre article

Comment

I caught you making This edit

This is not a good edit because the two old people were killed at home. Notice how this is about the school massacre. Do not add the old people to the list. The old people count belongs in the Jeff Weise article. WhisperToMe 23:34, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Response

But it is still notable, as it was two of the 10 deaths that day, and if Weise hadn't killed them, then he wouldn't have gotten his firearms, and he wouldn't have gone on his devestating spree. Therefore, it is notable in the Red Lake High School massacre.

By the way, old people is an unpolite way to refer to two victims. REN 07:51, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

[Sorry, was just passing through.] I agree, it is quite rude to refer to elderly people like that in general. Scarian ^Talk 22:30, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm confused... did you just remove my comments on the talk page? What was that all about? Or am I finally losing it?! — riana_dzast 05:45, 4 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Response

Umm no, I certainly didn't. There was an edit conflict, and my comment was deleted several times. Try putting your comment back into the article. I assure you I didn't delete your comment. REN 05:57, 4 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Response to response ;)

That's OK, I wasn't accusing you, just wondering what was going on. Thought it might be something like that. It's OK, it wasn't a very important comment. Cheers for the response, — riana_dzast 10:18, 4 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, how in hell can I provide a reference to the message if it was sent as an Instant Message? If you know any way I could, please do tell me, cos I cannot think of any way to reference an IM. REN 06:00, 5 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment on Response

I do not think it is possible, and therefore, according to the way things work around here my hands are tied about keeping it there. Even if I wasn't the one to remove it, it would get removed quickly by others. It seems like a lost cause having it on the page. I cannot stop you from storing things like that here on your user space though, as one day they may be verifiable. User:Ansell/Esperanza 06:04, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Regarding your "Seemingly Unfair Removals" post on User talk:Carnildo

Comment

Sorry for butting in here, they did in fact not reference theyr copyright info (I asume you refer to your uploads using the REN acount). You simply pasted in the URL of the site you took it from without adding any kind of explanation, let alone the mandatory copyright tag or fair use rationale needed to justify theyr use on Wikipedia and just kept removing the warnings. I'd say you where lucky for not getting blocked with so many copyright violations. I suggest reading up on Wikipedia:Copyright, Wikipedia:Image use policy and Wikipedia:Fair use before uploading any more images with your new acount.

P.S. Check the deletion log to find out who deleted something (paste in the full name in the title box), Carnildo actualy didn't delete any those images that I checked. His bot simply detects images that don't have the required copyright information and notified you of the problems. --Sherool (talk) 15:39, 24 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Creation of Phil Cassidy

Comment

Hello. I've seen you have taken the step of creating a dedicated article on a non-protagonist GTA character. However, as much as I would like some comprehensiveness in this topic, somehow I just don't feel that doing this is viable in the long run.

Even creating new articles on only character that have appeared in at least two games, counting all characters listed from GTA III, Vice City, San Andreas, Advance, Liberty City Stories and Vice City Stories, we may end up dealing with an additional 25 articles (but only 7 articles for characters appearing in at least three games), compared to the existing 4 protagonist articles and 6 list-based articles. Keeping with the KISS principle, a lower numbers of article should allow them to be more manageable and easier to organized in an event that major changes are made on them, and the contents of the lists still do not appear to be too lengthy or complex enough to merit splitting. See also links are also provided in respectable entries.

What's your thought on this? ╫ ２５ ^{◀RingADing▶} 13:14, 28 November 2006 (UTC) ╫[reply]

I'll be going ahead with a merge. The article won't be deleted outright, as there are some writings that are worth moving to respectable character lists. Sorry for any inconveniences. ╫ ２５ ^{◀RingADing▶} 15:44, 4 December 2006 (UTC) ╫[reply]

Response

I understand what you mean, I just think he is particularly notable to the series, and quite memorable. Without wanting to sound immature, I will watch the article if you don't delete it. But I see what you mean. Lach Graham 20:21, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment

How do you those images are NoRightsReserved? I've looked on acolumbinesite and I can't see any info on that. --ro|3ek 02:03, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Response

I uploaded those pictures quite some time ago, when I wasn't so careful with Pictures. I am not sure of the license, back then I would simply assume them as being free to domain. Especially in this case, since AColumbineSite is an purely informative site, and Wikipedia is a respected information site. I would think that the WebMaster of AColumbineSite would approve, but I didn't check. Like I said, I was a lot more careless when I uploaded it than I am now. Lach Graham 12:15, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Judging by the low res they may be screen shots or something... Perhaps it will be best if you add fair use tags to those pisc? I would do it myself but I'm not familiar with the rules here, (we don't allow fair use on pl.wiki ;)--ro|3ek 01:12, 11 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Edits to Tiffany Limos

Hello Lach Graham. Please do not add poorly sourced negative information to biographies of living persons, as you did on Tiffany Limos (diff). This addition was the subject of a complaint to the Wikimedia Foundation email response team (secure VRTS ticket # 2006051410002657). For more information on why the information was problematic, see the policy on the biographies of living person and the guideline on reliable sources. In particular, see the following sections:

Thank you for your contributions, and I hope this matter does not discourage your interest in our project. —{admin} Pathoschild 23:30, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Response

The information was not intended to be malicious nor biased, it was information based from her IMDB Board, which I correctly sourced. Lach Graham 23:33, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I do not doubt that you acted in good faith. However, posts to message boards are not considered reliable sources, the information was not presented in a neutral fashion, and the opinions of board members are not notable enough for inclusion in her encyclopedic entry. —{admin} Pathoschild 08:40, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Fair enough. Lach Graham 10:40, 11 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Elgoog.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Elgoog.gif. 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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).

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 any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Bad Influence

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Bad Influence, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Image licensing and format

I was going through some images and found several images you uploaded. You need to be aware that you cannot release screenshots from movies and DVDs into Public Domain, nor can you PD a video game cover. You aren't the copyright holder for those items, and as such they need to be correctly labeled as {{Film-screenshot}} or {{DVDcover}} depending on the type. For a full list of fair use templates, see Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Fair use.

Also, a majority of the images you've included are of very poor quality, mostly due to using a poor format: screenshots and photos like Image:Miami Vice The Game Cover.gif or Image:ClaudeWithFriendInKenPark.gif should actually be JPEG images, not GIF. Image:Loser Cover.JPG is great, though. I'd recommend going back through and reuploading the stills from Ken Park and the Miami Vice cover as JPEGs. Thanks for your work! fethers 21:24, 20 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Robert Knepper

You recently re-added the image from the Theodore "T-Bag" Bagwell article to the infobox of the Robert Knepper article. Please note that only free images are allowed to be placed in the infobox as per Wikipedia:Non-free content#Examples of unacceptable use. While the image is acceptable in article Theodore "T-Bag" Bagwell (as it concerns a fictional character), the image cannot be used inside the Robert Knepper's infobox as the image is "potentially replaceable with a freshly produced free photograph".

Proposed deletion of The Anatomy of a School Shooting

The article The Anatomy of a School Shooting has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Fails WP:NSONG. Since the album is now a redirect, there is no need to redirect this article; there is not a good likelihood that this will be used as a search term.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
