Seeing that you fill prep: I have a special occasion nom (BWV 43) for 17 May and would like to see it pictured, prep 3 that is. Ascension Day is celebrated too little, and I also admit private vanity in this case ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:22, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

Hi,

The pictures are sparse this week. I'm thinking of relying almost completely on Featured pictures. From my point of view, there's (so far) only one usable picture from featured articles:

Ranavalona III

And I really want to use Pete Rose from featured lists, as he's a legend.

Pete Rose

I propose using all the featured pictures now listed. (The fencing on is great for top or bottom.) Plus there seems to be some pictures that have passed but haven't been closed out and listed yet. We desperately need pictures that aren't human figures for this week. e.g.

• 

  What do you think? MathewTownsend (talk) 13:01, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

• Sounds okay. However, generally I don't have an image on top that isn't related to the interview if there is an interview. Perhaps just a big one at the bottom. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 13:10, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

Iain Macleod pic

Yes, all my own work. I took it when I was a student at York in 1970 and came across it when doing some rather belated "filing". Macleod was speaking on behalf of the Conservative candidate for York, Bryan Askew, but though the Tories won the election, Askew was defeated. Macleod became Chancellor of the Exchequer but died only a few weeks later. Johnlp (talk) 10:04, 19 May 2012 (UTC)

Interesting comment about the meth mouth image, I hadn't thought of that. Too bad that User:Dozenist isn't around anymore. I wonder if I could find pd-gov images. Mark Arsten (talk) 01:14, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

• Perhaps the Center for Disease Control has something. Why not do a google image search with the string "meth mouth" site:.gov or something like that? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:19, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

• There are a couple on the Department of Justice site[1], they were taken by some Med school professors so it may not be PD-Gov though. Oh well, that was a good idea though. Mark Arsten (talk) 01:59, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

Hey! Just saying, I think your ready for adminship. Can I nominate you? --Thine Antique Pen (talk • contributions) 09:22, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

Please accept the nomination here then move it into the RfA place. (Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Crisco 1492) --Thine Antique Pen (talk • contributions) 10:15, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

Your RfA is at 4/0/0, so hopefully it will stay on that ratio. --Thine Antique Pen (talk • contributions) 12:01, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

I know nothing about the process of elevation to admin, but from our recent dealings I am impressed by your thoroughness and impartiality. If it's a matter of other Wikipedians voting I'll be happy to raise my hand. Please let me know. Meanwhile, if you have time and inclination, could you run an eye over the images in Pierre Monteux, which another editor and I are planning to take to FAC. (Also, of course over the sound files and the text if you feel like it: it's at PR at the moment.) Tim riley (talk) 18:24, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

• I'd be glad to, once I finish translating 1740 Batavia massacre. Mind you, due to the AFD I may not move as quickly as usual. Regarding the RFA, any Wikipedian is allowed to weigh in and !vote support, oppose, or neutral sections. So yeah, the more feedback the better. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 22:44, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

Higher Earth tagged for notability by you

Comic Book Resources are considered a reliable source and they did review this comic book. Ain't It Cool News is a reliable source that covers it also. That's two, which is all you need to prove notability. I believe iFanboy counts as well. Dream Focus 00:11, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

• The comic has published one issue so far, which does not necessarily mean that it will have an enduring influence or win awards. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:16, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

• That's not a requirement for being considered WP:NOTABLE enough to have a Wikipedia article. Dream Focus 00:41, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

• The GNG requires multiple sources with in-depth coverage, and MILL requires more than just usual coverage (not just a simple press release, for example) — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:44, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

• Was the coverage provided not in depth? They explained what the series was, they interviewed people. And Mill is just an essay, not a guideline or policy. Anyone can publish an essay about anything, its just showing their personal opinion. Dream Focus 00:47, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

• I am assuming you have since removed the tag. I remain unconvinced that the series' notability can be established after a single issue, but will not pursue the issue. Good point about MILL. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:50, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

Image Copyright Issue

Hey, Crisco. Yesterday you speedy-deleted a picture of David Campbell I put up, calling it blatant copyright infringement. The picture was actually taken by me, although it has been used on Campbell's facebook (I sent it to him). Choosing a pic this well distributed was probably a mistake, but this isn't the first time I've had this happen with a picture I've taken. So, I'm just curious as to how I can avoid this in the future (I always set copyright to one of the self-work things, so I'm not sure what else I'm supposed to do). If you could give me an example of how to properly write the description for pics I've taken, that would be great. Thank you. (Sorry if I posted this in the wrong section. This is my first time using someone else's talk page.) VladieShark (talk) 17:05, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Ring EXchange - Adventures of a Multiple Marrier

Hi Crisco 1492,

I spent hours upon hours yesterday writing the book entry "Ring EXchange - Adventures of a Multiple Marrier" which then immediately was marked for speedy deletion. I am writing this on behalf of my partner, Pam Evans, the author of this book. I used another Wikipedia book entry as a template with the intention of writing it in a correct manner as per Wikipedia. Thus I would be very grateful if you could explain which text pieces that you deem inappropriate and the reason so that I can fix those items and reinstate the posting. Also please email me a copy of the original post so I do not need to start from scratch again.

Thank you for your assistance.

Reliability issues with 'Why Should I Love You?' article

Just had a look at the article, Why Should I Love You?, I created yesterday, to find a box at the top regarding reliability issues of the page itself. I noted that you were the one that issued it, and wondered what exactly the problem with the article regards, the sources provided are all reliable (BBC Radio 1, Banquet Records and The Vaccines homepage). I will obviously try and build up the article further by searching around for more information, but I just didn't grasp the issue of the article at present. Thanks, User:AlligatorSky (talk) 11:03, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

• I tagged it for notability, as there is currently no indication that it passes NSONGS; it doesn't seem to have charted, and there is only one (2?) independent source(s). Also, what makes Banquet Records reliable?  — Crisco 1492 (talk) 10:10, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
