User talk:MeekSaffron

Thank for adding the Presidential transition of Barack Obama article to the "Ongoing Events" Section of Wikipedia's Current Events Portal, per my suggestion on the Portal Talk Page. For some reason, I was unable to add the article myself earlier, which was part of the reason for the Talk page proposal. --TommyBoy (talk) 11:00, 16 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please clarify the accusation that you have made on my user account? Thank you--81.129.185.173 (talk) 21:17, 3 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings MeekSaffron,

The Bond images were removed because the Bond article was being reviewed for possible

There may be plenty of written analysis of the recurring motifs in the film series, but they may somewhat fall under the category of "plot summary" which WP doesn't require citations for. At any rate, a lot of stuff on the recurring motifs states stuff that is moderately evident to those who have seen all 23 films. (About 10% of the section was written by me.) The issue of too many images is different from the issue of lack of citations for analysis of recurring motifs.

There was some talk of a further review of the images with a possible appeal that this would be an appropriate special circumstance to break the rules (one of WP's rules is to break the rules...when appropriate), but it never really was followed up. I still have my own copies of the images and would like to see them go back. I was concerned that the choice of images to delete was a bit arbitrary. Perhaps the deleted ones provided less insight than the ones that were kept.

I can get around soon to editing the File page to add a section on who the characters are. They are Eva Green as Vesper Lynd in Casino Royale, Diana Rigg as Tracy Draco in On Her Majesty's Secret Service, Maryam D'abo as Kara Milovy in The Living Daylights, Jane Seymour as Solitaire in Live and Let Die and Daniela Bianchi as Tatiana Romanova in From Russia With Love.

I also uploaded about 14 images to the Stanley Kubrick article which has also come under fire for too many fair use images, but no one has tried to delete them, and I would fight a lot harder for their inclusion there than in the Bond article. --WickerGuy (talk) 17:25, 28 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see any change of policy. All the new articles since the paywall started are behind the paywall. A google search of their old site brings up 43,400 results, showing articles still available. I've gone through the links at Gordon Brown trying to replicate your results, but they all worked just now for me:[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] You may have hit a temporary fault. I occasionally find an article on their site comes up 404, but this could happen way before the paywall. Just an error somewhere or other. Sometimes URLs can change, and this may result in a 404, because the article has moved. It can be worth trying a different search, but sometimes the article just isn't (apparently) there any more. The problem I have found with some old articles which are still available is finding them. The current Times search engine doesn't seem designed to help in this respect.

According to the conventions at WP:RFPP, this wouldn't be protected (or semi-) because the admins there usually protect only emergency cases, from my experience. However, these conventions are more strict than the protection policy so if this behavior continued once or twice more, I see no problem in semi-protecting the article for a period. I will add the article to my watchlist to help you keep an eye out. Thanks for letting me know about this. —Ynhockey ^(Talk) 18:49, 23 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have protected the other article as you requested. Please let me know if the vandalism continues after the 1 month expires. —Ynhockey ^(Talk) 11:10, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
