- Ah, we meet-up again. Your Wolverines are doing very well. Sorry about MSU, though. I keep thinking they will make a break into the top, but they never do.Rkevins82 15:21, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Vandal Template
What vandalism template did you use on Tomcree's talk page? I'm curious as I would like to use it as well. Terryfoster 20:52, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

Hey TheMile. There is a lively debate about use of promo photos on wikipedia. My name is Jeff and I Do not support the interpretation of WP:FU as implemented by user's like User:Chowbok. They believe that Wikipedia should be free of all promotional photos that are "replaceable with an equivalent" (i.e. an amateur photo from flickr). Their rationale is being debated in many places, and take it a step further believing that all promo photos should be deleted and let someone else deal with finding and uploading a free alternative.

- User:Chowbok/Robth's_RFU_Explanation

And many other places I've no doubt missed.
I and many others who support use of fair use promotional photos have not been successful in changing the actions of Chowbok and rampant deletion and changing of many hundred's of useful images from Wikipedia articles continues. One good example is the Jennifer Granholm article which had a great promo photo replaced by a terrible photo. I seek to raise the profile of this issue through challenging promotional photos on high profile article's like this one. I'm sorry, really I am, but fair use policy as implemented by Chowbok has left me with few viable options.
I invite you to join the battle for Promotional Photo usage on Wikipedia and the protection of Fair Use concepts. --Jeff 07:38, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
