Orphaned fair use image (Image:Centwire.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Centwire.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. BetacommandBot 14:44, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

WNBC-TV logo picture (again)

At 200 pixels, the image in the infobox is TOO LARGE. It does not need to be that big, yet you insist that it remain that size. At least we got the alternate image removed, but you don't seem to get the point here. Please leave the current logo at 150 pixels. Rollosmokes 04:48, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Please show me where I have personally attacked you. All I did was comment on the image -- in my opinion, it is too large at 200 pixels. Unfortunately for you, you can't seem to take this suggestion and look at it reasonably.

You claim I'm in charge of this article? Look in the cyber-mirror, sonny boy: Your response all but convicts you of WP:OWN. If necessary, I will seek outside help from an admin to solve this problem. I was on your side about the single-digit thing, but we disagree on this. Sorry, I won't be budging here either.

UPDATE: I have contacted administrator Firsfron of Ronchester in an attempt to mediate this dispute before it gets unnecessarily ugly. Rollosmokes 04:07, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Non-free use disputed for Image:OGSeries.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:OGSeries.jpg . However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read carefully the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content and then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 05:10, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

You need to calm down...

Think about it: WNBC-TV's helicopter goes down. A rival station -- in this case, WABC-TV -- covers the event, and wins an Emmy award for its coverage. A rival station, not the affected station. Unless WNBC wins the award, then it really isn't notable in WNBC's history. That's common sense. BTW, it's also not really notable at all, given that is isn't a big news story of momumental historical significance, so I'm for deleting it (and it should stay off). Rollosmokes 21:24, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

You are missing the point here. WABC-TV's Emmy win has **nothing to do** with WNBC-TV's history. And, on the broadscope, it isn't all that notable. This is so trivial that it has to go. And there is the discussion. Rollosmokes 23:00, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Edit warring on WNBC

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content which gains a consensus among editors. Firsfron of Ronchester 02:17, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Blocked

You have been temporarily blocked from editing Wikipedia as a result of your disruptive edits. You are free to make constructive edits after the block has expired, but please note that vandalism (including page blanking or addition of random text), spam, deliberate misinformation, privacy violations, personal attacks; and repeated, blatant violations of our neutral point of view policy will not be tolerated. Blocked for 24 hours for violation of Wikipedia's rules about edit warring and reverting to your version more than three times in a 24 hour period Firsfron of Ronchester 19:58, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Template:Quotebox

I have reverted your reversion. At least two of us dislike that shade of yellow (which makes it look like a Post-it note). The use of italics is against Wikipedia style unless it's a long quote in the text itself, the title of a book or other specific circumstances. The reason is that italics are harder to read than standard text. Please discuss at Template talk:Quotebox if you feel strongly about this. Grant | Talk 01:09, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Image:Today 2.png

Thanks for uploading Image:Today 2.png . I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}} , without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template .
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image un
