Sports venues in Toronto

That is a good point, and one that hadn't occured to me when I removed Category:Stadiums and arenas in Toronto from Category:Buildings and structures in Toronto. You're right, of course, that the sports venue category can, conceivably contain a number of subcats and files pertaining to venues that are not necessarily buildings.--skeezix1000 (talk) 19:09, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

Category:Animal distribution maps

Thanks my friend for helping me on this cat.
Could you also verify if the taxon category is present on the image ?
Thanks a lot again. Cheers Liné1 (talk) 06:13, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Hi, Liné1. Thanks for your note. I'll remember to do that. Rrburke (talk) 22:18, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

Renaming

User:Foroa seems to be the current main advocate for a "narrow" use of renaming. Discuss it with him, or on Commons talk:File renaming, or on Commons:Village pump, or on the general admin policy discussion page, I guess. AnonMoos (talk) 19:55, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

Trunk Archive

Hi RrBourke,

I am writing on behalf of Trunk Archive.

We represent photographers, and have been trying to broaden Wikipedia's information to include us on the pages of our photographers, and to be able to list the photographers we represent on our Wikipedia page. Originally, my boss hired some interns who did not know what they were doing. It is part of my job to clean up their mess.

I have been extensively reading Wikipedia:Conflict of Interest and I understand that Wikipedians are strongly discouraged from editing articles related to themselves or their organization. I respect Wikipedia's mission, and would not want to contribute anything to Wikipedia that I did not feel was worthy of being a part of this center of public knowledge, that was biased, self-promoting, and not generally useful information.

I would really appreciate if you would engage in a discussion with me about why Trunk Archive is different from Wikipedia:Getty Images, Inc. or Wikipedia:Corbis Corporation. Internationally we are known for our photographers and the high caliber of work we represent. We have a roster that is impressive, and include Wikipedia:Philip-Lorca diCorcia, Wikipedia:Bruce Weber, and Wikipedia:Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin among many others.

As I wrote in a previous post on your talk page, we function in a similar way to a gallery.

We want to be on our artists pages, much like Wikipedia:David Zwirner is linked to Wikipedia:Philip-Lorca DiCorcia, and Wikipedia:The Collective Shift is linked to Inez and Vindoodh. Their photographs are available for people to look at within our archive for free. Today, many people find out about artist through finding their work on the internet. If people want to see 15 pages (over 1,100 images) of Inez and Vinoodh's work, having Trunk Archive linked to their Wikipedia would offer the public a chance to see this archive.

I have many other thoughts on this matter, but I don't want to take up too much of your time at this moment. Would you please enter into a discussion with me? In the spirit of Wikipedia, please present me with the opportunity to clarify my case.

Thank you.

Trunk Archive (extended)

Hi, Rrburke.

Thank you for getting in touch with me. I suppose the first place to start is to clarify why there were multiple accounts. My company hires interns, and one of their roles has been to update the Wikipedia pages of our photographers. The link to our website is not intended as advertising - as I wrote in my previous message, it opens up the artists' archives to the public. Many of our artists did not previously allow their archives to be public, so this is a special thing that is useful for the larger web community. The public, including many students, can learn about our photographers in a way that Google Images cannot provide.

I apologize that some of the interns were misguided in how they chose to post, and initially, the company did not learn about Wikipedia:What_Wikipedia_is_not. This has tarnished our reputation and created an obstacle to our mission, which is to let the public know that the archives exist. They are free for anyone to look at. This is within the intentions of the Wikipedia mission - to make information widely available and free. Our information is images.

Could you also please consider my point that we function similarly to a gallery? Please let me know your thoughts on this matter.

We don't want to add more links to our photographers, we just want to clear up our Wikipedia page, and add some more links to prove our notability.

Thank you again for taking the time to engage with me.

File:Alfred The Great penny.jpg

Apologies, but I've flagged this file for deletion as it's an image of a 3D object and therefore may still be in copyright under US law. See [1].

Hi, Hallucegenia. No need to apologize. Probably the right call, especially if that's the One True Opinion's view. Whoa, didn't know he wasn't the One True Opinion anymore. Guess I live under a rock. Anyway, cheers and no problem! Rrburke (talk) 20:41, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

Category:Nudity and sexuality-related deletion requests

Hi. Please don't add this category directly, instead add the following to a deletion request: {{subst:nsdr}}. That way it gets a timestamp (so category sorts by last edit), and also it is noincluded so the daily DR pages don't show in the category. Thanks. -mattbuck (Talk) 02:12, 26 November 2012 (UTC)

Boogie Nights Image

The Official Osmond page http://osmond.com/boogie-nights-the-70s-musical-osmonds/ grants a license for the image. Is there something that is missing? — Preceding unsigned comment added by WhatIfWeCould (talk • contribs)

Hi, WhatIfWeCould. Was the license recently added to the page? When I visited the site, the only notice I could find was "© 2012 The Osmond Family". At any rate, it's fine now.
A small point: despite the name similarity, the Creative Commons licenses are not actually created by or affiliated with Wikimedia Commons; we just use them. For that reason, if you have any affiliation with the Osmonds site, consider revising the license notice so that it tracks back to the license on the Creative Commons website (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/), which has the text of the license, rather than to Wikimedia Commons. Even better would be to use their license selector at http://creativecommons.org/choose/, which will compose an html license notice that can just be dropped right into the page.
Let me know if you need any help. --Rrburke (talk) 15:01, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

Hi Rrburke, the cited blog posting is 2 years newer than the upload to Commons. Though it may still be a copyvio, that can't be the source. --Túrelio (talk) 16:27, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

She has contacted me now by email and will likely again upload the album cover image (under a different filename) and, if she follows my recommendation, with a permission to OTRS. --Túrelio (talk) 17:23, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

Tsillaria360 deletion request

User / Admin Rrburke: Please provide your justification as to exactly what "out of scope means." All we have here is a request for deletion. What is the wiki commons policy or Guideline(Full Policy) not only for "out of scope" but for "inclusion of these photographs," as we must weigh all of the evidence for this deletion request. This is a serious issue. I caution you to remain neutral in your interpretation and perception of what and how the policies are intended for this type of media. please respond prior to deletion deadline.

Hi, Tsillaria360. The files in question are unused personal photos, which come under Commons:Project scope#File not legitimately in use. Examples of such files, set out at Commons:Project scope#Examples, include "private image collections". Where such a file is not legitimately in use and not realistically useful for an educational purpose (a primary criterion in judging a media's file suitability for Commons), it is eligible to be nominated for deletion. If you disagree, please participate in the deletion discussion. --Rrburke (talk) 13:37, 26 March 2013 (UTC)

Pier Angeli photo

I think there is no solution unfortunately. If even I buy a photo (there is an original negative on sale in ebay at 1,000 dollars!!! buth other photo of Pier Angeli at only 5 dollars or euros.), I would not be the author, that remain unknown. The photo was taken in 1954: I'll have to wait only 19 years, I'll be patient. :-) I'm so sorry for the danger to wikipedia and wikicommons: I thought that © was the same that wiki green C--Roburq (talk) 13:38, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
