Support - Pretty clear for a reproduction, I think. I find it good enough to feature. For those who might not know, Still was an important African-American classical composer. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 17:51, 17 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, I'm afraid this will likely be my last contribution to Commons. I don't think one should work where actively disrespected. Adam Cuerden (talk) 03:17, 18 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Adam Cuerden: Fuck, if that were true I'd have to retire myself, and so would at least 50 or so users I've treated with disrespect over my 7 years... I hope you'll reconsider. I've always liked having you around. I've found that sometimes you have to just do what you enjoy here, even in the face of poor treatment or lack of recognition of your contribs. It helps to tell people to fuck off now and then (you can use a meme too, like this one)...

@INeverCry: Commons apparently think that wanting there to be one place that people can go to see your work, and having the most unobtruive way of linking that physically psossible on Commons - a category link at the bottom of the page - is too much to ask and that I'm in the wrong for insisting on it. If that's not comprehensively overturned by tomorrow, I quit. Adam Cuerden (talk) 04:42, 18 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Adam Cuerden: It'll be a shame if you do leave Commons. I agree with you completely about the category not being hidden though FWIW. Your work is a whole lot harder and more time-consuming than Flickr2Commons transfers. I'd back you at VP, but my brand isn't very popular here since my de-sysop; I'd probably do you more harm than good. You've got to do what's right for you in the end of course. I wish you well whichever way it goes. INeverCry 05:07, 18 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Well, looks like things have sorted out there. Things were looking rather bleak when I wrote that, came round now. Adam Cuerden (talk) 19:53, 19 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support @Adam Cuerden: (I read your talk page) Since I'm here, you already left once (at least), and you came back. And I'm happy you are here. You know that. If you leave again, I'm sure you will come back, sooner or later. Les chiens aboient, et la caravane passe. Just give us other good pictures, and don't consume your time in stupidities.--Jebulon (talk) 18:01, 18 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
