Hi David, I reverted your table dancing image from [[human sexuality]]. It's a very specific image, especially for an article that's as much about health, history and philosophy as it is sex.-[[User:Wafulz|Wafulz]] ([[User talk:Wafulz|talk]]) 01:33, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

David, I'm really sorry to have to tell you this, but [[Mike Farrell]] wrote in to OTRS. He was very, very polite and friendly about it, but he honestly hates that picture you took of him, and he supplied us with another one - which he explicitly released under the terms of the GFDL. That's why I removed your pic from the article again. [[User:DragonflySixtyseven|DS]] ([[User talk:DragonflySixtyseven|talk]]) 03:50, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Caption help
Hey David, Could you please take a whack at rewriting the caption on your photo at Cross-dressing#The_problem_of_attributing_motives_for_cross-dressing? The current caption seems to imply that the rather oddly dressed cross--dresser came into an unfortunate state because of his cross-dressing when, in fact, we probably can't infer that. Benjiboi 11:43, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
- I think it's perfectly written. I don't read what you read at all, and in fact, I think it makes it clear that motives are difficult to ascertain--the person could be a street performer, or whatever. I don't think it needs to be re-written. --David Shankbone 14:00, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

NYC Subway
Hey, how is my picture poor, your picture has been up for a while now, and if you want, maybe you can take another picture of 36st, by the way, I go to school in Brooklyn and go home on the D train to Manhattan, so i will take another pic, K. NimiTize 01:41, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
- First, it looks like you took it with a camera phone. It's colors are cold, and the light bleeds into the photo. Second, my photo shows life in the subway station, yours does not. Mine is a 2.13 MB colored photo, yours is a camera-phone shot that is 33KB in size. That's nothing. This isn't about "who gets to have their photo up" this is about the best shot on the page as possible. Hence, when my Sean Combs photo was trumped (arguably not) I did not revert to have mine in the lead. Your photo of this subway station, however, is clearly of far poorer quality. The media that wins out on this site is 1. high quality; and 2. something other people (say, a news outlet) can use. Your photo is neither based upon quality and size. --David Shankbone 01:49, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
- Fine, I will revert my own edit, and let you off with a warning, but I am going to take a new picture, and it will be better, if you say about my color is not good enough, but my camera is a 2.00 MB colored photo, so dont talk about color. Cool, NimiTize 02:39, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
- Great! If you take a better picture - more power to you dude! I illustrate over 3,000 articles on here - this one means nothing to me. It's the principle that a crappy 33KB camera phone shot doesn't trump the high-res quality one I put up. Once you take a photo that does - the page is all yours - trust me. You can have it man. As long as you improve it. --David Shankbone 02:52, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Augusten Burroughs
David I reverting your removal of the audio link. It doesn't look like spam to me, it appears to be an interview with the writer himself. I checked the talk page and you didn't leave any comments to clarify your reasoning. Thanks. Have a great day. Wjhonson (talk) 00:55, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
- If you look at who added it, they added interviews for every person they ever spoke with. I don't particularly care, but I did a wholesale revert. I personally feel that if we are going to link to interviews, they should either 1. be notable; 2. be particularly illuminating; or 3. conducted with Wikinews. The third is self-serving, but Wikinews interviews are conducted with our own interests (the person's Wikipedia page) in mind. I won't revert you and I don't have any particular animus with this interview, but when I see someone adding links wholesale to Wikipedia, I usually do a wholesale revert. --David Shankbone 00:58, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
- I don't think we can assume that the person adding the links has any conflict-of-interest as being related to the website. It's possible that, even though unrelated to the site, they just think the links might be useful. Personally I think an hour-long interview with Burroughs is very useful. If you find out that the person is actually associated with the website in some way and is trying to advertise it that would be a different story. We don't have any policy that would cover someone not associated with an interview site adding the links. Thanks David! Wjhonson (talk) 08:51, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
- Then the question comes to: Burroughs has probably done about 50-100 interviews of varying lengths. Which ones do we use? WP:Linkspam is a guideline that is applicable here, and it's quite common that when an WP:SPA is doing nothing but adding the work of one site to every page possible, they get reverted. --David Shankbone 15:48, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

I didn't realize how complicated adding information to this site is. I really just came across these interviews and thought they would be great for the site. They are notable, illuminating and very flattering to the authors wikipedia page. I'll get used to things and slowly contribute where I see a nice fit. David, if you get the chance you should listen to some of the interviews. They're good for any writer/artist to hear.Corkyshag (talk) 18:26, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
New user...questions
Hi David,
I tried to add some valuable links to Wikipedia today. I'm just trying to get the hang of the website. The links I had posted up are 1 hr interviews with best selling authors. Victoria Lautman has a series that she hosts at the LookingGlass Theatre in Chicago called Writers on the Record. I think these link are invalualbe to the site and to people looking for more information on the authors. Let me know what I need to do to get them posted. I am not a spammer. thank you for your help.

IP Harrassment
David, I have just blocked the 3 IP addresses that trolled you here over the last day or so. I recommend not responding to them if they come back from a new IP address - it just makes them want to bother you more.
IP user(s) - multiple administrators will take aggressive action against your IP range if you continue these personal attacks, incivility, and harrassment. Please be warned that personal attacks on David here or elsewhere at the moment will result in immediate blocks, as we have ample evidence you're all connected and acting against him in concert (if not the same person making all the attacks, which seems quite likely). Georgewilliamherbert (talk) 23:09, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

More drama
Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons/Noticeboard#Michael_Lucas_.28porn_star.29 FYI. Benjiboi 00:17, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
- Hi, I just want to say that I wasn't aware of the harassment. The IP editor had posted to my user talk inviting me to the WP:COIN discussion. I saw what was happening at WP:AN but not the insults, since those were on different versions of the rotating IP. Based upon those two noticeboards good faith led me to suppose this was a misguided newcomer trying to learn the ropes. Obviously, in light of the posts that person made on other addresses, that wasn't the case. I apologize if my reopening of the thread inconvenienced you. DurovaCharge! 02:06, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
- Durova, for what it's worth I thought you made the right call as not binding someone in a catch-22 with each admin board pointing to another. It's not your fault if this person(s) were essentially gaming the system for less than noble purposes. Benjiboi 05:16, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
Photo
Zen, why did you decrease the file size? Can you please upload the file at its full size? Small photo sizes destroy resolution, and are discouraged. If you don't want to do it, I will, but please see Wikipedia:How to improve image quality. Thanks. --David Shankbone 05:49, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
David, your original version is still up there: I copied your photo, then re-uploaded my version as a PNG that was 10 MB. That was too big. So I then re-uploaded it again as a .JPG. ☯ Zenwhat (talk) 05:56, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
Your original: Image:Orthodox couple on Shabbat in Jerusalem by David Shankbone.jpg (7.38 MB)
My first revision: Image:Orthodox jewish couple.png (10.76 MB)
My second revision: Image:Hasidic jewish couple.jpg (397 KB)
The quality of the image in that last one is compressed, but it's compressed without really losing any of the image quality. It's just smaller in size, so it's easier for people with slow connections to download. ☯ Zenwhat (talk) 06:01, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah, I know the original is still there. The download thing only applies to image sizes on the main page. If people click on a photo then they are in for the bargain that it may take time to download. Right now yours is only around 375KB, and I liked what you did with it, but it's more important that the media on this site be useful beyond this site's needs for a visual aid. For instance, many small town newspapers who can not afford Getty Images and just need some stock footage make great use of us. Some of the things I have been contacted--unnecessarily--for consent ranges from authors of children's books to Bloomberg Business News. Wikipedia is a community resource, and we are used in many different ways, so it's more important to err on the side of too big at 10MB (when space is not a problem for us) than err on the side of too small for use by the community (typically 2.5MB and above you are safe). So what do you want to do? --David Shankbone 06:05, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
Harold Washington question
Could I get your input? In the article noted above, there has been considerable resistance to an image painted of the subject Mirth and Girth being placed in the article. I think it has as much place in the article as that of a legacy statue image already present in the article. As the image was painted because of the subject's popularity, and as no other equivalent image of the subject matter exists, it fulfills fair-use criteria for inclusion (btw, no one has attacked the FU criteria, so that isn't really an issue).
Reasoning against its use has been that of BLP, notability and the fact that the image was painted based upon the rumor that when Washington was taken to the hospital during his fatal heart attack, he was found to be wearing women's undergarments. I disagree with this exclusion, considering it to be POV. Thoughts? - Arcayne (cast a spell) 19:37, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
- Without having really looked, I would agree with you. My bias is for illustration (obviously). In fact, last night I met with a reporter who wanted to interview me, and I was telling him how back before I started doing so much photography (August 2006) for the site, there were few photographs on here. A casual glance at upload dates of photographs confirms that. I don't think I am the reason WP is illustrated, I think I was at the forefront of the next logical step to building the project. In fact, when I used to contact people in August 2006 to ask to do their portraits for their articles (Floyd Abrams comes to mind) I was often told, "I didn't think Wikipedia had photographs." The reporter, a guy named Adam Rose, said, "Yeah, now when I go to an article on Wikipedia and there are no images I am disappointed." If it's notable, and it deals directly with the subject, and it's copyright-free or fair use, then I think it should be included. See Demi Moore (for the controversial VF pregnancy cover) and Charlie Chaplin for examples of how portrayals in other media (magazines, paintings, caricatures) are used on articles. --David Shankbone 20:17, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
- I also don't see how BLP is an issue if the person is...dead. --David Shankbone 21:15, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
Can you please delete the picture of Laura Krafft on her page, I would like to put a new one on for her, thank you very much.
- You are welcome to upload a new one, but it needs to be uploaded with the GFDL license, which means it can be used for any purpose, including commercial; Krafft clearly retains her publicity rights. If you would like help, let me know. Please make sure if it is also a large (2.5MB) sized photograph. Once these things have been done, we can add your photo to the page. --David Shankbone 17:34, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
re
Hello sir, firstly allow me to refer you to the 3RR which I have not yet violated (I don't think). Also, I'd rather you discuss things in talk rather than post me warnings uneccesarily. I actually wrote my MA dissertation on Wikipedia and other collaborative projects so am no stranger to policy. So yes - I mean no offence to you but this particular work of yours is, in my opinion slightly offensive. I would love to talk it over though I'm sure I could be persuaded otherwise. It doesn't really bother me that much - it's just the principle that I believed it should have been discussed being that I removed the pic in good faith --Capitana (talk) 18:39, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
- See the talk page. I have outlined my objection for you to address. Don't take it so bloody seriously I wasn't exactly attacking you personally --Capitana (talk) 18:47, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
wikipedia and circular reasoning
Hi, I came across your name at Afd:Money Masters. I am currently involved in analysing why I do not like the 9/11 article as much as other wikipedians.
