hello Orangemike

Apologies if I missed earlier warnings, or if the file was incorrectly tagged however can I check please your speedy deletion of this photograph. The photograph was important to the article. The reference citation in the article on Jeffrey Street was as follows and my recollection is that a similar citation was present on the photo page:

{{cite web

| url = http://www.photosau.com/StantonPictures/

| title = View to St. Aloysius' College above foreshores of Kirribilli

| date = 1930s

| work = 1 copyprint; b&w; 204 x 254 mm, This photograph shows construction on foreshores of Kirribilli above Jeffrey Street. Above the foreshores is St. Aloysius; College incorprating Dr. Cox's home. Whilst barely visible above the trees is the tower of Star of the Sea Church. The homes Greencliffe and Craiglea are also visible on the right hand side above M. Steel boatshed.

| publisher = North Sydney Council, original publisher unknown

| location = Jeffrey Street Wharf and Jeffrey Street

| format = photo

| accessdate = 27 June 2010

| quote = Image 001\001004

| ref = Stanton Library Call Number: LH REF PF1004; SIRSI NUMBER: 503231231

}}

The file appears on the Local Government website and the source attributes the photo to "c 1930s". I thought (mistakenly) that all of the correct tags has been used both in the article and also on the photo page. I refer also to the Australian Copyright Council which states that in Australia Copyright has expired in photos taken prior to 1 January 1955. This photograph is therefore approximately 20 years out of copyright. Refer to the copyright regulation here.

Can I seek your advice please as to how to reverse this or what additional "public domain" style tag you feel was missing which should have been present on this photo to cover any other countries copyright laws etc? This photo has been on this article for almost four (4) years and this is the first time that the PD status / copyright of these very old photos has been raised as an issue.

I was told my article about Claudia Caporal was deleted because it was biased and I was too "close" to her to be able to write her article. Is there a way to rescue the writing I did for it so that I may then edit it to an appropriate stage for publishing? Thank you. KatieLee92 (talk)

Hi, Orange Mike, or other user - this is a request for a second look ie a consideration in deleting the "Some or all of this article's listed sources may not be reliable" note that has been on the Gregor Collins article since September of 2013. Reliable sources and additional, validated wiki links (including the recently approved article Goodbye Promise) have been provided in the interim, proving it a worthy candidate for no flags. I have no reason to be untruthful that this article is indeed associated with me but that is in no way an indication it is a puff piece or autobiographical piece, nor should it not be considered just as neutral as any other entry. If for some reason it's still considered flag-worthy I'd appreciate an updated explanation and what needs to be secured to have it fully approved. Thanks for your time. Gregorcollins (talk)

I removed the issues from the top of the page. After spending a few weeks gradually editing this article, I believe the tone is much more neutral, many references and links have been added to integrate it, and it relies much less on primary sources. If there is anything left to be improved, please let me know. Thanks.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Charlesfearnley (talk • contribs)

Hello Orangemike

I appreciate your advice, but just to clarify, Paloma Faith is not a minor performer.

Despite not being regarded as a phenomenon like Amy Winehouse or Adele she is more popular than some may realise, and even so more financially successful than some realise.

I believe if my article is up to the standard of Wikipedia, my article will be accepted.

Thankyou.

Would you like to be convinced? You may have to give up a strongly held belief. All this hype, how can you not be a little bit curious. Polygnotus (talk) 18:15, 12 June 2025 (UTC)

YSR Congress Party contains {{tq|After accusing the Congress of ill-treating him and with a state ministerial slot in the aftermath of the death of his father}} Is the word "offered" missing? Polygnotus (talk) 18:45, 12 June 2025 (UTC)

Do we have evidence that Clement Warner was in the Iron Brigade? He is categorized as such, and also listed here: Windsor,_Wisconsin#Notable_residents. Polygnotus (talk) 22:05, 12 June 2025 (UTC)

ConQuesT says *BYOB-Con 4 - Held summer 1974 at the Muehlebach Hotel, and featured author guest of honor Wilson Tucker, fan guest Hoy Ping Pong, and toastmaster Bob Tucker. Perhaps there is a more elegant way to explain that this is the same person? Polygnotus (talk) 22:13, 12 June 2025 (UTC)

:Thank you! Those edits were all based on AI. What do you think? Polygnotus (talk) 08:43, 13 June 2025 (UTC)

::Nothing? I was kinda hoping for a response. Maybe I am too impatient. Polygnotus (talk) 18:04, 15 June 2025 (UTC)

:::Errors are errors, however they were spotted. Wikipedia has "bots" that do similar work. That still doesn't legitimize treated AI as anything resembling a reliable source. --Orange Mike | Talk 00:05, 16 June 2025 (UTC)
