I'll see messages here eventually; if you need a timely response, though, I'll see them much faster on my talk page on enwiki. —Cryptic (talk) 04:40, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

This is no longer the case, what with the nifty cross-wiki notifications. But it does remain true that essentially all of my Commons activity is in relation to how it impacts pages on enwiki. —Cryptic (talk) 13:59, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

The entire image was literally drawn to avoid the ludicrously-stringent policy on using a 300px fair use image in an article that's directly about the exact same image and the specific context of its fair use rationale -- come on. JPxG (talk) 13:00, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

Yes, I get that, but it's unquestionably a derivative work - you've duplicated the photo's composition, which has itself been the subject of extensive media commentary and praise - and Commons doesn't allow that. —Cryptic (talk) 13:04, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

Okay, I will stop uploading stuff to Commons then. JPxG (talk) 13:29, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
