File:WikiIndexLogo2014.png: Difference between revisions

Love this idea. Don't know why we have to delete it so quickly... it would be ok to talk about I think. Can you make one without the offending flower? ~~ MarkDilley

THREE times, Manorainjam posted an image which has a clear breach of copyright. He was warned after the first instance, ignored that warning, and posted two further images which breached copyright. And just whom in the existing WikiIndex community did Manorainjam ask about either need for a new logo, or the permission to upload what was a highly contentious logo? We need to keep MediaWiki.org, and the whole Wikimedia Foundation 'on side' – we certainly don't want to piss them off by ripping off their own logo and using it in our own logo, and trying to pass it off as our 'own work'. Manorainjam is becoming highly disruptive to WikiIndex, its current community, and former contributors – and is highly likely to alienate former or dormant WikiIndex members. Maybe he can use his enforced absence to cool off for a week, and consider whether he wishes to work with the community, or ignore the community and do his own thing!

Splitting this into several parts:

1. breach of copyright. I don't think MediaWiki Foundation is going to fret over us talking about a logo.
2. he clearly heard you and tried to go to lower resolution to go around the copyright point you brought up.
3. I agree that he has come into this place like a ton of bricks and started Meatball:ForestFires ... and he is doing some interesting stuff none-the-less.
4. Maybe a breather on all sides to figure out how to work together?
5. Appreciate your energy - hoping to figure out a way to move forward.

Best, MarkDilley

Just saw block, don't think that is warranted. ~~ MarkDilley
