Georgy, the image that you want to use is too dark. Can’t see anything but the screen. If you want to make an image, use plenty of light. —Stephen (talk) 14:42, 9 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

Image pushing

edit

Please stop your persistent replacement of existing images with ones you've taken yourself. A lot of your images are of much lower quality than the ones you are replacing, and in cases of articles like this, you are outright damaging them.

I am also seeing edits from IPs like 213.149.165.247 and 87.228.229.206 that look like it is you behind them. Please ease up before this becomes an issue - Amog | Talkcontribs 15:44, 19 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Bad photos

edit

G, I'm removing most or all of the photos that you are adding, because they are awful. If you could learn how to use a camera to focus properly, and hold it still, and maybe use better lighting and less cluttered backgrounds, you might be able to make some photos that would succeed at illustrating the topic, but it's hard to imagine what motivates you to go the trouble of uploading such awful shots. Tell us. Dicklyon (talk) 19:47, 19 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

I notice in your metadata (one sampled HTC phone image that's better than most) that you're shooting 1/30 sec, f/2.8, ISO 800. At 1/30 second, you'll often get motion blur from hand shake. At f/2.8, you'll have very shallow depth of field, so a lot of blur on 3D and tilted 2D objects. At ISO 800, your images will be noisy. You need more light. Ambient indoor lighting makes it hard to get good shots. Go outdoors or by a window, or use a sensible flash setup. Or take a photography class. Dicklyon (talk) 19:52, 19 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

More bad photos

Hi Georgy. I strongly suggest that you stop adding your images to Wikipedia's articles. They are being repeatedly removed by other editors because of their poor quality. I see you have been warned about this quite a few times, so it is possible that you will be blocked from editing if you persist in this disruptive behavior. Gnome de plume (talk) 19:10, 29 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

I'd also like to warn you again, same as Amog above, about edit warring using IP addresses to restore your images after someone else removes them. This is considered sock puppetry and is also likely to result in you being blocked from editing if you persist. Gnome de plume (talk) 19:19, 29 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Windows Mobile addition to Smartphone

edit

I'm more than happy to see an Android phone at the top (in fact that would be better), but Windows Mobile isn't representative, its marketshare is far too small and its not revolutionary either. Windows Mobile 6.5 is widely regarded by the tech press and others as being a very poor phone OS. -- Eraserhead1 <talk> 19:14, 1 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

And Windows Phone 7 may well be very good, but it isn't anywhere near as popular as Android or iPhone. -- Eraserhead1 <talk> 19:51, 1 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

February 2011

edit

  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to upload inappropriate images, as you did at Laptop, you may be blocked from editing. This 'inappropriate images" warning probably isn't really a fit for this situation, but please stop pushing your lousy photos into articles where better images are available. Dicklyon (talk) 00:41, 2 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

Photo of Laptop

edit

If you want to improve the photo, I suggest

  • 1. back away and use a moderate telephoto. Your photo looks like it was taken up close with a wide angle lens and shows geometric distortion.
  • 2. remove any brand or modal information in the caption.
  • 3. choose a laptop that maufactured in the last 12 months.

To replace an existing picture, you need to provide a significantly better picture.

Also, why replace the existing pictuure? You could just add a picture.Constant314 (talk) 13:50, 4 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

Bad photos

edit

Please stop posting your poor quality photos. You are just wasting your time and energy. --Kristoferb (talk) 03:31, 10 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

G, your new laptop photo is indeed an improvement. However, recall what I advised you on my talk page: "On the laptop, no, it's not for you to decide, since you have a conflict of interest. Use the article talk page as I suggested." If you had offered the new photo on Talk:Laptop, and some other editor had liked it, it would probably be in now. But pushing it yourself was a bad idea, so you lost your chance again. As the taker and owner of the photo, you should recuse yourself from any decision about whether it is preferred.

You don't simply post pictures of memes on Wikipedia

edit

Here's why I hid your picture of the memes of 9GAG.

  1. The pic is of bad quality.
  2. You put your name on it.
  3. Such pics are not really useful. It might be useful to post each of the memes, in its original form, on Wikimedia Commons, tag them accordingly and then create a gallery on an article which talks about memes, not about 9GAG, because memes did not originate on 9GAG, as you well know.

I, as a fellow 9gagger, warmly advise you to be more responsible when editing Wikipedia, because some people judge editors harshly. Just take a look on the talk page of 9GAG. -- Petru Dimitriu (talk) 19:13, 23 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

Man, understand

edit

Check the three reasons I gave you above for not keeping the pic on the page! Ask any other experienced editor, and he'll tell you the same! Memes have not originated on 9GAG!!!!! If your pic was relevant, it would be relevant to have pictures of eyes in the article about dogs becuase dogs have two eyes!! Wikipedia is not your playground! Just take a look on the talk page at the guy who criticised us for making a hash out of articles which should be encyclopedic! I invite you to understand this and remove the pic yourself. Faster! -- Petru Dimitriu (talk) 21:12, 24 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Iro Katsantoni

edit
 

Please do not make articles about a living person that are entirely negative in tone and unsourced. Wikipedia has a policy of verifiability and any negative information we use must be reliably sourced, and our articles must be balanced. Negative unreferenced biographies of living people are not tolerated by Wikipedia and are speedily deleted. Users who continue to create or repost such pages and images in violation of our biographies of living persons policy will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Thank you.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Datsun Go, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Japanese and Three-cylinder engine (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Bad photos

edit

I admire your enthusiasm for adding photos to Wikipedia but I think you need to use some judgment as well. For instance, on 7 August 2013 in the Nissan Sunny article, you replaced a perfectly fine photo of a nice, clean Datsun 1200 with a picture of a derelict 1200 sunk to its axles in the dirt with a tree covering half of the photo.  Stepho  talk  22:52, 6 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

Just stop adding your own photos

edit

You have been repeatedly asked not to replace existing photos with your own photos, because the existing photos are better. You've repeatedly ignored the request.

I noticed your change to Austin Maestro. You replaced an informative photo of a (perhaps unrepresentatively) shiny Maestro with one of the rear view of a distinctly used Maestro full of cardboard boxes. The change from shiny (even glamorous) Maestro to worn, unglamorous Maestro is fine with me. The problem is, your photo shows nothing much beyond the fact that the rear window is large.

If your photos are better than the existing photos, and you draw the attention of other editors to your photos, then these other editors will replace the existing photos with your photos. If by contrast it's you who has to replace them, chances are that the changes aren't worthwhile.

So stop replacing existing photos with your photos. If you'd like to draw others' attention to new, good photos by yourself, do so on the talk page of the relevant article. -- Hoary (talk) 02:23, 7 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

I have alerted WikiProject Automobiles to your edits and Deletion requests/File:Datsun GO.jpg|requested deletion of Datsun GO.jpg. You may wish to add your opinion to either or both.

In view of your editing pattern -- and particularly the article that you created about somebody who visited Russia forty years before she was born and whose "husbant [sic] . . . died from extensive masturbation" a century previously -- I have difficulty taking you seriously. But perhaps other editors will be more indulgent. -- Hoary (talk) 03:52, 7 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Please attribute or claim media you uploaded or restored: File:Personal Computer.JPG

edit

You uploaded or restored , File:Personal Computer.JPG, but for various reasons did not add an {{information}} block, or indicate your (user) name on the file description page. Media uploaded to Wikipedia needs information on the SPECIFIC authorship and source of files, to ensure that it complies with copyright laws in various jurisdictions.

If it's entirely your own work:
please include {{own}} in the relevant source field, amend the {{information}} added by a third party, ensuring that your user name (or name you want used for attribution) is clear in the author field, and change the license to an appropriate "self" variant (if such a license is not already used). You should also add an |author= parameter to the license tag, to assist reviews and image patrollers.

When you have copmpleted the above steps: to indicate that you've accepted the given the license shown, and updated the file description page appropriately.

If it's not entirely your own work, or the media is based on the work of others:
Please update the source and authorship fields, so that they accurately reflect the source and authors of the original work(s), as well as the derivative you created. You should also not use a "self" license unless the work is entirely you own. Media that is incorrectly claimed as self or {{own}}, will eventually be listed at Files for Discussion or deleted, unless it's full status is entirely clear to other contributors, reviewers and image patrollers. You should also read Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission which details how to confirm any permissions you obtained for works by others that are still in copyright.

Whilst this notification, relates to a single media upload, it would also be appreciated if you could ensure that appropriate attribution exists for other media you uploaded, You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log.

If media is not claimed, and there's no other obvious source or authorship information, the file may have to be removed for copyright reasons.

It's okay to remove or strike messages like this once the concerns have been addressed. :). 16:07, 31 October 2018 (UTC)ShakespeareFan00 (talk)
