Ok Redvers... I have a stupid question. When you gave me that welcome to wikipedia message, is that what Wikipedia considers adpoting me or not?Tm93 (talk) 04:25, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:BASE mobile telecommunications belgium - Redvers.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:04, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
Redvers, I started a topic at the Commons Village Pump about your concerns. You've definitely brought up some issues that should be addressed, and your comments on how Commons can improve would definitely be welcomed. I've also nominated User:Redvers/Say no to Commons for deletion here. With respect - Kelly hi! 22:46, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
Avoid weasel words. Anonymous authority is a philosophical term for a wikipedia policy. In both cases, authors are finding support in undocumented or unpublished case histories. IOW, you are an authority on what works for you. You are not an authority on what most people do. Much of Freud's work is analysis of case history. It's usable material, but in some form, it must be published before you can use it. In case histories, it's Freud who is an exemplary authority, not his patients, so there really isn't such a thing as an anonymous authority. Avoid weasel words. Please reinstall my redirection, because it's the best answer unless case history exists, and it probably does. (I see that it doesn't).
I looked around at anecdotal evidence and related logic, and I find that authority is itself in the category of logical fallacy under appeals, but only in the case where it's used as a proof or an authority is held to be infallible. I'm copying this to the avoid weasel words talk page. Please address it there. BrewJay (talk) 02:07, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Hi Redvers, would you mind finally let us know what exactly was wrong with Commons, so that it can be fixed? rootology (T) 04:56, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Hey. Sorry to hear about your foot mate. Hope it mends quickly. In the meantime, I thought a pint might help... WjBscribe 16:53, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
You should add much of what you said on Lar's talk to the essay. I think your reasons are quite sound and I hope you continue to point out problems where they exist. Far too much drama has been caused by Commons editors not understanding the nuances with certain areas of the encyclopedia and trying to apply misguided policy beliefs where they are not applicable. --Dragon695 (talk) 17:35, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
Hi, I couldn't help but notice your comments on Lar's talk page and have come here to express my sympathy with your position and agree with some of your observations regarding the imperious nature of some hardline Commons advocates.
Witness this odd exchange which came out of the blue on my talkpage a while back. I fully support your decision to upload your images here if you prefer. After all, there are enough gnomes around who will probably transfer them across at some date, although that isn't entirely without its pitfalls. Today I just had to spend half an hour fixing the mess caused here and on Commons when Image:Elizabeth Hamilton - Writer and educationalist.jpg was wrongly transferred over as Image:Image Elizabeth Hamilton - Writer and educationalist.jpg, and then deleted here. Luckily there were no links to other wikis.
Ho, hum - illegitimae non carborundum as they say. --Cactus.man ✍ 14:37, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
Redvers, I've only used one account to upload the picture. If you looked, you would have noticed that the licence (as stated on the Flickr page) was ok now, and matched that I entered on wiki. I apologise for previously having gotten it wrong. I went to considerable trouble to get this organised (talking to the image owner, talking to a wiki admin who pointed out it was the wrong license, trying again etc). Finally, everything is ok. Now you come along and delete it. Moreover, threaten banning me. Why do you think "the Flickr image title is clearly a download and reupload from another location in Flickr?" The image most certainly belongs to the owner of the flickr page.
As an after-thought, I'm guessing that because I changed the image title myself, that is what you are referring to. I will leave the title as it is then. As there is no reason at all why it shouldn't be, I will also re-upload it.
As another after-thought, and in an effort to try to finally resolve this for good, is there some way I can contact you privately? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Frog84 (talk • contribs)
I love it. You know you're getting under a vandal's skin when they create a new account which accuses you of sodomy. Sounds like ol' Grawp to me, but what really knocked me out was your response to that loser no matter who the heck he is. Bravo! We need to taunt more vandals and shame them into staying the heck off this site! --PMDrive1061 (talk) 22:28, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Do you think this article should be speedied? I was thinking A3, its only a couple of words. Your thoughts? Thanks Monster Under Your Bed (talk) 10:28, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
An editor has asked for a deletion review of The Squeaky Cheese is the Mouse's Wheel. Since you closed the deletion discussion for this article, speedy-deleted it, or were otherwise interested in the article, you might want to participate in the deletion review. Davewild (talk) 17:59, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
Re. Page Deletion - I work for the bands record label - One Little Indian, therefore am authorised to use the material provided. Feel free to email me at //email redacted// to confirm —Preceding unsigned comment added by Seanmwalsh10 (talk • contribs)
Can anyone give a welcome to Wikipedia? If so what is the template used? If possible please write me back on my talk page. Thanks and Happy Editing Tm93 (TALK) 16:28, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
Hello Redvers can you please see LTTE Terrorists. This is currently set for speedy deletion as it serves only to attack the subject of the article (CSD C10). In addition, it was created by an account that seems to be a vandal only account. Thanks Watchdogb (talk) 14:12, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
I'm confused why you started an AFD on this topic. — Carl (CBM · talk) 13:22, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
←At least one person on the AfD doesn't think it's a speedy keep. I'd also dispute that the IP's nomination is frivolous - wrong, maybe, even possibly wrongheaded, but not frivolous. I know math is a pet subject of yours, but surely you see the flaw in having someone complete a good faith AfD nomination in good faith and then spending ages running it past related Wikiprojects first for them to debate it (or have someone an admin steamroller it away) before posting it? Instruction creep. Not gonna happen. ➨ ЯEDVEЯS has wasted eight of nine lives 13:54, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
I am not the one provoking. Open your eyes. You have just made serious accusations about me. If you are unwilling to back them up, remove them. Remember this all started because you made the assumption of bad faith on the part of math editors and added a "not a ballot" tag. I simply removed it, and then you insisted on leveling accusations at me on my talk page. If you don't remove your calling of me as a liar, I will report it. --C S (talk) 18:45, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
Please point me to where this decision was made? It seems rather silly that ALL schools can be made articles of. However, if this is the consensus, I will go with it and create articles for every school in Taichung city. ludahai 魯大海 (talk) 01:56, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
