Celebrity Images
Hi Mailer diablo,
I am back again with a query.I just came across a user User:Tony619 who has added numerous images of scantily clad celebrities to many celebrity pages. Though most of the images qualify under fair use as they are magazine covers but I feel that they are not suitable to be displayed on Wikipedia. Moreover in most of the cases he has added images to pages which already had an image. I have left a message at his talk page but I dont know the policy of wikipedia on such images. So, I would be grateful if you could take the necessary steps.Gaurav1146 10:50, 7 August 2005 (UTC)
Thanx for the quick response. The reason that I didn't mark them for deletion was pecisely that Wikipedia has no guidelines for such images. In any case, I felt that adding such images on every page doesn't make sense. If the content of the page requires those kind of image then there is no problem. Moreover why add another image when there is already an existing image on a page until and unless the other image depicts something important. I would be grateful if you could have a look at those pages and take appropriate decision. TIA Gaurav1146 04:13, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
Thanx once again. Right now, I am in office and I would not be fit for me to access those pages from here.I would let you know about the pages by today or tomorrow. As for Images for Deletion , i had a terrible experience with it.So , I normally prefer directly contacting an administrator.Gaurav1146 09:32, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
Here are some of the images where the user has added an image where already another one is existing.
Hah....seems rather rare to see you online, but I really need your advise in the issue of moving imaged to the commons. I listed my imaged in Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion since August 1, and they are still there. Did I do anything which isnt following proper procedures? Or is there a shortcut which lets me move the images without having to ask for any deletions etc? Thanks! ;)--Huaiwei 17:09, 7 August 2005 (UTC)
Re: Fuck hole
Hi there. I noticed you just got rid of a bunch of VfDs. While you're online, do you mind taking a look at this page, please? It's been tagged with a speedy, and I'm rather hopeful that it will get deleted ASAP as the contents are simply libelous. Vfd here. Regards—Encephalon | ζ 18:57:30, 2005-08-20 (UTC) NB. In the unlikely event that you do not often speedy, the proposed deletion is for contravention of WP:CSD A6. Thank you.—Encephalon | ζ 19:04:20, 2005-08-20 (UTC)
Kind of you, Mailer diablo. Yeah, Zscout Sd'd it soon after I posted here. I've never posted at an admin's page asking for an SD, but this particular one perhaps merited it. Glad it's gone.—Encephalon | ζ 05:53:21, 2005-08-21 (UTC)
My user page

Thanks for the typo fix on my User page. BlankVerse∅ 14:29, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
Abby Hayes
Heya. Just to let you know that you made a mistake on the Abby Hayes vfd. It's not a vanity page, because Abby Hayes is the protagonist of a popular American series of children's novels - I think >11K Google hits is enough to disprove the "non-notable" claim, yes? To be fair, the article was extremely poorly written, focusing almost exclusively on the character's personal life to the near-total exclusion of the fact that "oh, by the way, she's a fictional character". And you're a male Malaysian college student in Singapore, not a twelve-year-old American girl, so you wouldn't know about the books (and neither did I until I googled). I've since cleaned up the article substantially - might you change your vote? DS 13:23, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
Unless you're one of avid the supporters of the rules lawyering, autocratic, foaming-at-the-mouth inclusionism that was flaunted at the RfC of Tony Sideaway you can't possibly interpret obne vote to keep' against four delete or merge votes as no consensus. I redirected the page in question and I would be most grateful if I wasn't forced to VfD it again after only a week or so.
I saw you closed Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/SFTPPlus with "dealt with as a copyvio". I actually skipped that one as I was not sure what to do with, so I'm glad to see what has happened. However, you didn't remove the VfD notice of the article SFTPPlus itself. I assumed you simply forgot it (it does not make much sense to have a link to a closed debate, does it), so I did it for you, but please correct me if I am wrong. -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 12:08, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

SGCOTW
Thanks for setting up the page! ;) Nut I was wondering if we should make it a weekly, fortnightly, or monthly affair? :D --Huaiwei 21:24, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
Metroblogging VFD
Hey, just a quick note: When you close a AFD you need to put a note on the talk page of the article about the outcome as well. Looks like you missed it on that one. Cheers! --Gmaxwell 23:08, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
Thanks!
Thanks for the support on my RfA. I was very pleasantly surprised to see so much support throughout the week. Please do keep an eye on me and my logs, especially while I'm learning the ropes with the new buttons. Thanks again! -Splash 00:03, 10 September 2005 (UTC)
Photography (Singapore)
Hello, photos of Singapore are actually laying everywhere around Wikipedia, (and you some of the most significant pieces of work) perhaps its time for some organisation, and consolidate into a single venue. I find that the Singapore page at Wikimedia Commons quite a suitable place. Let me hear what do you have to say. Slivester 10:41, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
