2015 already
Hi SV. No frills - just a quiet ‘’all the best’’ to you for 2015 and I hope you’ll continue to be around on Wikipedia for a long time to come.--Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 13:51, 1 January 2015 (UTC)
- Same from me, SlimVirgin. Thank you for all you've done for us, and have a great new year. Drmies (talk) 15:33, 1 January 2015 (UTC)

If you have the time and inclination ...
Hello, Slim Virgin! Hope you had a wonderful holiday season. I don't know if you are interested, and I assume you are quite busy with your own projects, but if you have any extra time, I'd appreciate it if you took a look at an article I recently wrote, Irataba. I have it at GAN now, and I'm not sure if I need to wait for a random person to pick it up, or if I can request a review from somebody skilled as yourself. If not, don't worry; I'll understand. Rationalobserver (talk) 23:49, 9 January 2015 (UTC)
- Hi Rationalobserver, I can't promise to review it for GA (I have limited time for WP at the moment), but I'll have a read through it and leave some feedback on the talk page. SlimVirgin (talk) 19:39, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
- I'll be grateful for whatever you have time for. Thanks! Rationalobserver (talk) 22:25, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free image File:RomanichildrenAuschwitz.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:RomanichildrenAuschwitz.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 23:12, 13 January 2015 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker): I don't see how this image could not be in the public domain. It clearly was photographed by a European government after the liberation of that concentration camp. Coretheapple (talk) 23:22, 13 January 2015 (UTC)
- Hi Core, I started looking into this years ago, and I did make some progress, but didn't find out enough to be able to upload it to Commons. The problem is that someone has obviously removed it from the Holocaust (fair-use images have to be used somewhere), so the best thing would have been for Stefan to restore it, rather than nominate it for deletion. Sarah (SV) (talk) 00:48, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
- That is just so weird. Thanks. Have you queried the U.S. Holocaust Museum or Yad Vashem> Coretheapple (talk) 01:04, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
- I found this[1], a purported photo at the Auschwitz Museum. I'd wager these are photos of the same children, perhaps in the same session. It must have been by the Russians, and I'll bet they were exhibits at Nuremberg. Coretheapple (talk) 01:10, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
- That's very interesting, thanks. I was told years ago that the USHMM's source was the Romani Archives and Documentation Center, University of Texas at Austin. I vaguely recall that there were competing claims, though I may be misremembering. Sarah (SV) (talk) 01:16, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
- That sounds like an organization that would have been created some time after the war. I'll bet you that those photos were in the public domain years ago. They look like evidence photos not newsreel or news agency photos. Not my area of expertise, however. Coretheapple (talk) 04:19, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
- I've lost count of the hours I've spent researching the provenance of Holocaust images because someone wants to delete them. Video-game covers under copyright, on the other hand, are fine! I'll try to retrace my steps with this one, but in the meantime we should just restore it to the Holocaust as fair use to stop the deletion. Sarah (SV) (talk) 15:05, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
- It was in the Holocaust article all along, so I don't know why it has been nominated. Sarah (SV) (talk) 17:41, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
- I wish I had the time to assist. Perhaps I can email the Holocaust Museum and just ask if they would be kind enough to look into the provenance of it. After all Wikipedia is the biggest website in creation and this photo belongs in it. Coretheapple (talk) 22:15, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
- That would be great if you have time. In the meantime, I've emailed the Romani Archives and Documentation Center. Will let you know what they say. Sarah (SV) (talk) 22:37, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
- I did, but I don't expect much. They have a form on their website, indicating they are inundated with requests. Best thing is to obtain an email address of a person. We'll see. TinEye was useless. Coretheapple (talk) 23:11, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
Stylization of the "common name"
In January 2013 there was a "RfC on COMMONSTYLE proposal" at WT:AT in which you expressed an interest. FYI there is a similar debate taking place at the moment, see Wikipedia talk:Article titles#Stylization of the "common name" -- PBS-AWB (talk) 12:20, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
