- Your userpage says you're not new, but I thought I'd drop you the template anyway since it can be useful. :) Do let me know if I can be of assistance and, of course, happy editing! HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 18:01, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

Allison - bit of a grey area this one. I've examined the picture and the web link. The web picture is much lower quality. I've done a Google Image search, but the biggest one that finds is 533 x 800 at www.aceshowbiz.com/images/news/00033408.jpg, and the Wikipedia one is 667 x 1000. I've zoomed in to all in Photoshop, and it seems that the Wikipedia one is of "camera quality", and the others are low lower quality, that therefore agrees with the fact that there is EXIF data showing from the camera (which does not show in the reduced web pictures when loaded into Photoshop). Also the web published photos are a later time/date than Wikipedia. I therefore have to assume that the uploader is the photographer. So I'm afraid that I have had to remove your CSD tag.

Theodore G. Bilbo
Use facts to back up what you do. What Theodore said was accurate given the proceeding events. I have linked to a source. Instead of using bots to revert, look at edits in person. If you do not stop accusing me of non-existent vandalism, I will bring this to the incidents page. If another editor supports you, then I will acquiesce. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 218.241.89.83 (talk) 22:33, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
Reviewer
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.
For the guideline on reviewing, see Wikipedia:Reviewing. Being granted reviewer rights doesn't change how you can edit articles even with pending changes. The general help page on pending changes can be found here, and the general policy for the trial can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. -FASTILY (TALK) 03:24, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
