FSS logos gallery
I am sorry, but I don't understand. These are all former logos of the Football Association of Serbia and its predecessor, Football Association of Yugoslavia. It is clearly mentioned in the images descriptions that fair use applies to this article (and, in the pre-1992 cases, the Football Association of Yugoslavia article) only. I don't know if you are familiar with the situation in Serbia and former Yugoslavia, but the Football Association of Serbia is considered the only successor of the Football Association of Yugoslavia by FIFA and UEFA and, therefore, I can't find a single reason to remove the gallery, as there is no other place on Wikipedia where it can stand. Please, explain it to me. Thanks.--Vitriden (talk) 09:30, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
- Because their use was only for purposes of decoration. It doesn't expand the readers significance at all and we can mention the FSS is the successor organization to the FAY without using images at all. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 09:33, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
- That's your opinion, you've decided it's just decoration. I think it's very informative, since it shows all the crests that can be found on some other sites and publications next to the name of FSS, so it prevents confusion. Just in the last 10 years four logos were changed and it can be chaotic when someone tries to understand whose logo it is and from which time. So, what should we do now? I know, until you name a policy you've followed here, a policy that says this gallery shouldn't be there, I'll revert it back. Deleting other people's hard effort without a proper explanation is very rude, so try better the next time you do that. Thank you in advance.--Vitriden (talk) 15:21, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
- Oh, now I see some images were deleted, probably because they weren't used in any article anymore... How convenient. You don't deserve to be an admin here, you know? It's disgraceful how you don't care for other people's opinions. Hopefully you'll lose your adminship soon, and then, when we are equal users, I hope we'll meet on some other article. See you then.--Vitriden (talk) 15:46, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
Deletions
It's very bad for an admin to ignore everyone and act alone. There was a lengthy discussion over this issue, we emailed many organizations, received some answers and clarified the situation (you did not participate). This is my 4th attempt in contacting you to let you know about this and hopefully the first successful attempt.--Avala (talk) 11:25, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
- I am not acting alone, since there are other administrators who have been asking for the images to be sorted out and deleted. Plus, some images in the PD-Serbia category are being kept due to being public domain due to age. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 18:32, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
- Yes and there was the discussion on deletion and the final decision of an admin closing the discussion is not to delete, but continue discussing on talk page. So based on which decision are you deleting? If you'd look at that discussion you would see that many images you have deleted were in PD. For some reason you lack on communication and that is causing problems because you don't pay attention to extremely lengthy and thorough discussion we had.--Avala (talk) 10:58, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
- I paid attention to all of the discussion and it was better, according to the admins, to delete questionable images and to keep the ones we know for sure that are public domain. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 21:52, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah right, Bjweeks closed the discussion by "I'm closing this, discussion if PD-SerbiaGov applies can be done on the template's talk." which is fire away from "it was better, according to the admins, to delete questionable images" as you claim. I don't see you starting any discussion on that talk page (even after explanations regarding ©, agency photos, applicable positive law etc. you deleted the images of Boris Tadic which brings us back to you acting alone). I am puzzled, I hope someone did not brake into the account of Zscout370.--Avala (talk) 23:46, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
No, the account is not hacked. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 17:49, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
Then explain why would you erase a whole article saying "Blatant copyright infringement" for article that comes from website which says that their content can be reused? I still think your account is hacked as you are making irrational deletions. No administrator would delete the whole article because there was some copyvio content in history section and then reerase it under a claim "rm copyvio" including things like election results or sister cities section which are obviously not from the same site (supposed website as you didn't provide a link). Something is simply wrong here.--Avala (talk) 22:45, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Memphisflag.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Memphisflag.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:03, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
