`  == Georgia ==  Polbot doesn't seem to realize that there are two places in the world named Georgia.  Please teach it to link to Georgia (country) instead of to the disambiguation page.  Thanks.     :Ah, good point. I'll fix that. –   (random)   == Cooperative ==  Hello, I have a question about one of your edit long time ago. It appears to me that you just slapped the article with a GA tag without any reviews or checklists posted on the talk page. It is important to have such messages left in talk page so that others can vertify if the article really satisify the criteria outlined. Please explain your reasons to me.   :Back in 2005, the ``Good article`` concept was brand new. It was encouraged at the time to simply find articles that you thought were ``good``, and slap the article with it (as you put it) to get the idea up and running. The instructions at the time simply read ``The process by which articles are designated as 'good' should be much simpler and quicker than that by which articles become featured. Simply add any articles here that match the criteria, and add  to the top of the articles' talk pages.`` The criteria have been more formalized since then. I see you've only been around about a year; stick around, and you'll see lots of new projects change their criteria. All the best, –   (random)   ==Deleted Riverboarding articles== Hi. Please see Robert Carlson's reply on my talk page. . He explains that: ``The images I would upload are of me, but not taken by me. They are souvenier photos you can buy from photo services that sell photos of your river trip as mementos. When I buy the photo I assume I get the copyright to publish as I wish. What do you think? Is there a tag category for this type of ownershipthat would satisfy Quadell?`` I've checked the free use tags on the image upload page and I don't know what to tell him. Perhaps you could reply on the Riverboarding talk page? thanks,    == Boerboel ==  Thanks for the advice. I won't be the only one stewarding the article now, as it has been brought to the attention of several others.     == William Poundstone picture deletion ==  hello, i am writing to inquire if someone from this profile had deleted the photo from the William Poundstone wikipedia entry. I had requested an received express permission from the author himself to use the photo of him on his wikipedia. What more authorization or documentation might I need to leave it posted on that page?      :At Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission, the first paragraph states:  ::To use copyrighted material on Wikipedia, it is not enough that we have permission to use it on Wikipedia alone. That's because Wikipedia itself states all its material may be used by anyone, for any purpose. So we have to be sure all material is in fact licenced for that purpose, whoever provided it. :If you read Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission, it should tell you everything you need to know. All the best, –   (random)   *okay, so i have the email requesting the author allow the picture and then i have his affirmation it is okay to post it. but now i am confused as to how to send this permissions request. i mean, it says to send it to: ``permissions-en AT wikimedia DOT org``; but is that supposed to be an @ and a ``.`` in there and sent via my personal email or what? the language is confusing to me as this is not something with which i am familiar, but one day hope to be. i just need to be prodded in the right direction, all i want to do i assist in affixing one of my favourite author's pix to his wiki. thanks, colin     ::Yes, the address to mail it to is permissions-en@wikimedia.org ::It's a little confusing. They write it in that cryptic way to avoid getting too much spam. If you send the permission to that address, you shouldn't have any further problems. –   (random)   == Why was the image ``yuksel.jpg`` removed from the ``Edip Yuksel`` article  ==  :I'm afraid the image is copyrighted. The page you got it from says ``© All the materials,books, articles and essays on this website, www.yuksel.org, are COPYRIGHTED.`` We are a free content encyclopedia, and we can only use images of living people if they are not copyrighted, or if they have been released under a free license, such as the GFDL. You tagged the images as ``GFDL``, but that would only be true if the copyright-holder agreed to license the picture under the GFDL, and I don't think they have. –   (random)   == Boerboel ==  Yes hello Quadell, Greetings. Concerning the Boerboel entry, no you have got it the wrong way around. It is in fact the user van Tucky that keeps changing the entry with out discussion, and changing it completely. Not once but countless times, and never have they approached me with a proper proposal or argument before they do this,  furthermore their changes are completely subjective and incorrect, following a particular line of personal agenda, nothing to do with the proper breed facts. I would ask you to take this into consideration before leaping to the wrong conclusions. It is important I feel that the public are not miss-led by one persons personal agenda. Have a good one,  Frikkers  :I replied on your talk page. –   (random)   ==The Tina Turner non-free media king strikes again== I notice you just deleted that file. Could you take a look at  and advise? -   ==Rock Springs masscre== This article was promoted to FA yesterday, thanks for your work on the references.   {| style=``border: 1px solid gray; background-color: #fdffe7;`` |rowspan=``2`` valign=``top`` |  |rowspan=``2`` | |style=``font-size: x-large; padding: 0; vertical-align: bottom; height: 1.1em;`` | What a Brilliant Idea Barnstar |- |style=``vertical-align: top; border-top: 1px solid gray;`` | Brilliant! Bestowed upon thee for your assistance with Rock Springs massacre and its references and notes sections. The article was promoted to featured article status yesterday. Thanks Quadell, I suspect that part of the reason the references were not an issue is because of the work you did separating them.   |}  :Hoorah! I'm glad to have done my small part on such a great article. –   (random)   ==Barry Henthorn image== *Hi. Can you check out the CEO mug shot that keeps getting reposted to Barry Henthorn by a pesky spammer?    == Follow-up ==  Thanks for helping to clarify on the assorted Transformers -boxart images. There are still a bunch of -boxart images that would fall under the same rationale for deletion. Would it be best to apply the disputed FU tag and link to the onslaught talk page, or is there a better place/way to nuke them?   :That sounds like a good idea to me. –   (random)   ==RfA?== You opposed my candidacy for adminship in my RfA that closed on April 6, 2007.  As you're probably aware, I opened an RfC on myself to address the concerns raised during the RfA.  In addition, since that time, I've resumed editing articles (detailed on my talk page) and participating in peer, A-class, and Good Article reviews.  I was considering accepting a re-nomination for admin and was wondering if you still had any concerns of questions that I could try to address in advance?    == Removal of  ==  I must object to your process.
