| == Request for Update == | |||
| Hello, | |||
| I was wondering if there was anyway that you could update your company footprint map for Dick's Sporting Goods. Since your initial map in 2010, the company has grown exponentially, and is currently located in now 44 states. We would love to see the concentration of stores now, and your help would be much appreciated. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 18:35, 19 October 2013 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> | |||
| :Unfortunately, it appears that Dicks has opted for the type of site where they display a map, but do ''not'' list all of their stores by state anymore. This makes it considerably more difficult, and I'm afraid I'll have to pass. I may decide to write to their marketing department and ask if they could just provide me a list of sites. Is there a way I should inform you if i'm successful? | |||
| :Another possibility: can you tell me if is accurate? I'm afraid I don't usually trust third party sites. ] (]<small> • </small>]) 01:49, 20 October 2013 (UTC) | |||
| The site is accurate, and includes all 44 states Dick's is currently located in. If you do proceed with an update, or successful at all, I will continue to check here. Thank you so much. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 19:18, 20 October 2013 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> | |||

| :OK. I've undone ''editing restriction''. However, I am keeping the ''civility restriction'' in place. Please be conscious of the way you phrase things. I do not know which part of the world you come from (or if it matters), but throwing around the labels the way you have been doing has the ability to ''severely'' inflame the situation rather than deescalate. Please don't go saying things like , or the number of personal attacks present in . And no, it is ''not'' acceptable to go revering something with such harsh language as ''"irrelevant, misleading/false, snobbish"'' and then not even bother to try to discuss the issue with the editor who you reverted. I realize you probably see yourself as just calling things like they are, but one man's "straight talk" is another man's "insult." ] (]<small> • </small>]) 19:49, 20 October 2013 (UTC) | |||

| == Please update photo on Misplaced Pages page, "Patrick Reynolds (Activist)" - Also, please add one or more photos to Commons from these two urls == | |||
| Hello Magog the Ogre, This is Patrick Reynolds (Activist). I'm a tobacco-free advocate, and just noticed on my Misplaced Pages page that my photo there is pretty dated. I also saw that you verified the license and permissions for that photo, and added it to Commons. Wonderful, and thank you! | |||
| I'm requesting that you change my photo to another more current photo from our website. The url where we post photos for journalists to use are www.Tobaccofree.org/photos -- Also, at www.Tobaccofree.org/book/ there there are photos of my RJ Reynolds tobacco family members. | |||
| The only pic not in public domain is the one of my father, RJ Reynolds Jr, aged and sick with emphysema from smoking the Camels and Winstons that made him wealthy and powerful. In that pic he has a male nurse and a tall oxygen bottle at his side. Corbis only gave me permission to post the photo at our site in low resolution, but did donate use of it to my Foundation. | |||
| If you can also add some of these photos to Commons (except the Corbis one), that would be very helpful. | |||
| If you need to call or email Michael Helms, the photographer who shot my portrait pics, to verify that his photos are indeed in public domain, I will add his info below. I'll also include the photographer who took the excellent photo of me speaking on stage in a spotlight. All the others are by Michael Helms; he took the portrait studio shots. | |||
| Many thanks for this, and all the best to you. What you do is much appreciated out here! | |||
| Please feel free to call me or email, if you wish to -- I'd be happy to answer any questions you have on the phone or by email. Unfortunately I am not Wiki-capable and can not do this myself. | |||

| For some reason under Toolbox on the left margin of a user's page (including mine and yours) the link "User contributions" (A list of contributions of this user) has disappeared. I've asked around, including on chat, and no one has a clue. I don't want to be "forum shopping" so I don't want to ask on any other forums. | |||
| And also, I have a new link there under Toolbox called "Message names" (Display current page with MediaWiki names replacing their test). I don't know what this link is conveying but it seems useless to me. | |||

Hi! I wonder if there is info on this deleted image to claim this to be PD-old? MGA73 (talk) 17:59, 7 January 2025 (UTC)
- @MGA73: it was copied from Commons and deleted because the author tried to pass it as fair use. Ironically, we could have kept it on English Misplaced Pages as free in the US with the appropriate license. Anyway, it was deleted in 2006 because it wasn't public domain in its home nation yet but it should be safe now. See c:Commons:Deletion requests/Image:1920assemb.jpg.

Old revisions of files
Hi!
Based on the history of the file information page, File:Odalisque with Arms Raised.jpg and File:Matisse-The-Dessert-Harmony-in-Red-Henri-1908-fast.jpg should have one more old revision each on Misplaced Pages which was not transferred to Commons. Could you transfer them?
I transferred File:RKR wiki pic.jpg to Commons, but then I discovered that the first revision has the edit summary Smaller version
, so there should be another version of that file too. After I tagged with {{Now Commons}}, another user moved (!) the local file, although not to the name on Commons, so the file revisions may have been split between the old and the new file name. --Stefan2 (talk) 20:49, 12 January 2025 (UTC)
- @Stefan2: the first file has no hidden revisions. I've handled the latter two. Magog the Ogre (t • c) 23:17, 12 January 2025 (UTC)
File:KlausB RMPics.JPG
Hi! I found a copy of this file in sw.wikipedia (sw:Faili:Klaus Barbie.jpg). I wonder if there is any information that can justify that it is PD now? MGA73 (talk) 21:12, 12 January 2025 (UTC)
- @MGA73: The image is also hosted on several other wikis:
- The deleted file had an incorrect license, a direct URL (link), and almost certainly the wrong author.
- I did a deep dive on the original source and the best I could find was this Getty Images which appears to provide the wrong attribution. The image is reused by reputable sources such as the Canadian Holocaust Museum.
- At this point, I'm afraid I've run out of leads. Magog the Ogre (t • c) 23:04, 12 January 2025 (UTC)
