That's a large statement, and it needs substantiation to convince. Please list the examples you are thinking of. > It doesn't come as too much of a surprise > to see confusion emerge instead.

Remember that I'm one of the few here loudly agreeing with you about crediting restorers. Steve's questions were entirely reasonable and I was wondering what your answers to them were myself. Acting as though I'm some sort of traitor for asking you to substantiate and reinforce your arguments says nothing good about the quality of your arguments or the robustness and clarity of your thinking on them. Are you literally unable to answer the questions? If so, then you will have no luck getting many people to agree that your concerns are concerns. Steve's original question: "I still wish you would answer the original question: why are you angry, what do you think they have done wrong, and how do you think they were supposed to know that wanted to be credited, based on the information on the relevant image pages? Or did you really just want to start an open discussion about the creativity involved in image restoration?" You started this thread in two mailing lists, presumably with the intent of convincing people who didn't realise there was a problem that there was a problem. Now you're descending to namecalling at the slightest questioning of your arguments. C'mon, meet us half way here. - d. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
