EDIT WAR

User Opinoso don´t respond to my messages about stop deleting a sourced and researched image I provided for the article Rio de Janeiro. He just stated on the history page that the picture is not aestethically good to the article, and "anyway, old flags are not important". He is in an edit war with me, he just erases the picture, showing a biased judgement. And, worst, he deleted my messages asking for him to stop deleting the image I provided.

Missing image Image:Snowy Plover.jpg

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Image:Snowy Plover.jpg, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Image:Snowy Plover.jpg is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Image:Snowy Plover.jpg, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Request

Hello Calliopejen1. I have a request. Could you look at this image: [[1]]. The uploader claims that it is a "PD" of John Melendez, but to me it seems suspicious. It isn't even sourced and the article has been subjected to POV's in the past. I think that it is a good candidate for deletion. If so, I was wondering if you would do the honors since I'm not very good at the deletion process thing. Cheers! Tony the Marine (talk) 01:26, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Climate chart

Hi. I noticed your edits to the climate chart template (shrinking the box). It's fine that the box is smaller, but the template is now broken for places with wet winters, because the temperature bars cover the tops of precipitation bars completely. In short, there was a good reason for the columns being so wide. I will revert your edits for now, and you can try shrinking the template without breaking it if you wish. Regards, Zocky | picture popups 16:22, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

OK, I just figured out that you did much more than that. Nice work. Can we get the blue columns back to double the width of red columns so the template works correctly? Zocky | picture popups 16:24, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:THEWAVE.JPG)

Thanks for uploading Image:THEWAVE.JPG. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 19:05, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

MJ pictures

Hi there, I was reading your user page and I noticed that you like to find free pictures. You are an angle with wings. As I'm sure you have seen from the Michael Jackson article, picture wise it's very boring, but it's all we have (I have checked commons). The article's pictures are not balanced. For example, we have no pictures of Jackson before the 1980's. We have 3 pictures of Jackson in the 1980's, 1 in the 1990's (which is actually just a fair use music video pic) and 1 from the 2000's. Another consideration, we have no picture of Jackson performing live (that's really important). Another thing we could do with is more pictures that clearly show Jackson's vitiligo, although these are rare Gems to get hold of. Would this be something you could help with? I particularity feel that Jackson's 90's and live image is seriously sub standard. — Realist² (Speak) 21:14, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for the detailed reply. From the freely licensed pictures these 4 would be helpful (not just solely for the MJ article either):

http://www.flickr.com/photos/provoost/214007159/

http://www.flickr.com/photos/click-see/25803643/

As for searching through the 18,000 pictures, I did do an in depth look a while back but because I have no understanding of picture policy I never really knew what I was looking for. Unless there was a big flag screaming "I'M FREE, I'M FREE, TAKE ME, TAKE ME" I just ignored them. So those 4 pictures would be wonderful, after that it's a case of giving those 1000's of pictures a looking through, most of those have NOTHING to do with him lol. — Realist² (Speak) 22:48, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

Hmm, I have no idea, there were many of those statues made all over Europe, in promotion of the album. Some were permanent installations, others were up for the promotion period of the record and some where floated down famous rivers. Obviously I would favor the picture without the McDonalds sign, its a nicer closer up with better coloring. — Realist² (Speak) 01:06, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Infact that statue has really good lighting, you should nominate it as a featured picture, it's a beautiful piece IMHO.— Realist² (Speak) 01:48, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I haven't heard from you regarding the statue picture, is everything OK? — Realist² (Speak) 21:50, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for that! I'm still considering that birthday picture, although I don't think we need it. We have an excellent picture of Jackson at the age of 49 so I don't think him at 45 is necessary. Is it me or is Mr.Jackson looking a lot better these days? A few years ago he looked really odd, now, not so much. Hmm. — Realist² (Speak) 15:51, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

Human trafficking in Suriname

Niger and Economy of Niger

Please be careful when making such large edits. Economy of Niger now has a huge amount of duplication which must be corrected. Also, is there any reason Niger should contain no content about the economy other than an internal link? There may well be some Wikipedia directive that I have not seen on this, and I would appriciate your guidance on this. But the logical end of such moves is that national articles (such as Niger) would contain no content apart from internal links to the topics covered elsewhere. I'm not trying to be difficult here, but please do note that this huge and seemingly indisriminate edit creates much work for those of us who are trying to maintain this article. Thanks, T L Miles (talk) 13:40, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

I've reverted these, not because I think there's anything wrong with your intentions, but just that you left them half finished. Niger (as you note in the edit summary) needed some summary of the economy if you remove all that content, but you did not provide it, leaving a blank. Economy of Niger was left with about %50 duplication of content dumped in the middle of it (including duplicate images and a duplicate lead). I'd happily support your intentions in moving/summarising things, but I (and clearly others) don't have the time or volition to finish this for you. Please give it another shot when you have time to clean up your edits. No offence intended. T L Miles (talk) 14:01, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

Human Trafficking articles

You are to be creating articles like Human trafficking in Togo and Human trafficking in Thailand for every country in the world, and all of them seem to be copy & paste jobs from This website. While the text does appear to be free to use, you should consider whether a large number of essentially identical articles are appropriate for Wikipedia. I, for one, do not think so. Wikipedia is not a dumping ground for material copied and pasted from other websites, fair use or not. Reyk _YO! 02:02, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

Image JCPembrey3.jpg

You have marked this image for deletion, and told me that it does not say who created the content, but I am not clear what to do. I have marked it as released into the public domain by me, which seems good enough on other images. I did in fact do so on the express request of a descendant of the man, Tim Pembrey who gave express permission and gave me the file. Please take a look at this on the talk page of the image. I have looked into this matter of copyright before, and I am afraid I cannot find definitive answers that make sense in relation to old images like this. Strictly the owner of copyright is the photographer, or his descendants by inheritance, but often, as in this case, they are not known. Ownership of the photograph is strictly not enought, is it? The trouble is, there is no proper way to deal with this problem as far as I can see, and the only images I know how to validate truly are ones taken by me. looking at other images on Wikipedia I find all sorts of dubious explanations not being challenged such as 'no objection known'. Take a look for example at Derby_School-1920, where I see one template saying 'copyright expired - life of author plus 100yrs'. I hardly think the man who took a photo dated 1920 has been dead 100 years, and in any case this was taken in the UK so US law is irrelevant. A second template on the same image says 'Public domain in the US as published prior to 1 Jan 1928) - again totally irrelevant as neither the image, nor it's creator has probably ever set foot in the US! That latter image also carries no name of a 'real' person whatsoever. How can copyright declarations be valid without such a real name and contact address? I am not suggesting that you take down that image by the way! I could give many more examples of how it seems to me that copyright reasons are 'fudged' over and over again in Wikipedia because no one knows what to do (I've tried asking at the appropriate pages and still got nowhere). Your help and comments would be appreciated. --Memestream (talk) 21:28, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

How are you these days? Did you continue any work on Cambodia? The Bald One ^{White cat} 17:26, 19 August 2008 (UTC) Nice work on those history articles BTW. These days I;m spending a lot of time translating Spanish language articles into english. My latest offering is Supreme Court of Justice of Costa Rica ‎ and I have been adding Category:Spanish politicians starting with A as you can see. Aside from obscure articles like Liechtenstein wine etc, other than this I'm ploughing through the Mexican and El Salvadoran municipalities, working on African national parks and trying to develop the years in film such as Bollywood films of 1977 and Italian films of 1965. I;ve also created a full set of African economy templates like Template:Economy of Ghana. They will all need developing. One of the most important goals at present though is to get the Mexican municipalities onto here or existing ones sorted out and reference to the encyclopedia of Mexcan municipalities in spanish which means every single place in the country should have a full article eventually if the information is translated and put into wiki. Afraid my work on Cambodia and Burma dried up, chiefly because of the problem with finding adequate information to write about the places. A huge amount to do though!

Images

Hi yes I saw you felt that way. To be honest I'm surprised that some copywrighted images are permitted and others aren't. If he is implying that we must be paying for these images like others supposedly are, I can kind of see where he is coming from, but selecting a handful of images to prove a point and trolling me isn't the way to go about it. The problem I have just realised is that many images seem to be owned by the Associated Press and other news agencies. All I can suggest is that wikipedia tries to contact a few key agencies and confirm what the status is on their images. If they clearly indicate we should be paying for them and are outraged at us using them, then it will become fully clear in the guidelines that these images are forbidden and can be speedy deleted and therefore I will have a greater faith in the removal of these images.

Images

While I agree with your Fair-Use crackdown (no, you can't use Vanity Fair's image of Tom Cruise...), I think you should try to find a way to focus specifically on living subjects and cases where there are private copyright holders (not governments); it's a little unfair to wake up to see you've nominated for deletion all the Nazi Germany propaganda images of all of the Aces of the Deep or such.

Fantomas.jpg

Hi, I replied at AFD. The reason was that at another wikipedia it was listed as GFDL, so I believed them. Here since there is doubt I can replace it with Fair use. Would that be ok? Thanks. Dr.K. (talk) 22:57, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Template:notorphan

I noticed you left some comments (maybe automated) that suggested that by tagging an unused nonfreeimage as notorphaned, this might prevent deletion. I'm afraid this may mislead someone. As the {{notorphan}} template says, it is only for free images. Nonfree images that aren't used in articles can't meet WP:NFCC#7, which doesn't use the word orphan at all. — Carl (CBM · talk) 01:02, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

By the way, I checked, and there are no orphaned nonfree images tagged with {{notorphan}}. — Carl (CBM · talk) 01:20, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

J.R.R. Tolkien

Here's an idea for you -- if you think an article has too many non-free images in it, start a discussion on the article's talk page, don't just slap a tag on it and run away, and certainly don't take it upon yourself to delete the images from the article on your own say-so.

I've reverted your deletions. If you want to discuss it, the article's talk page is a good place. Ed Fitzgerald (unfutz) ^{(talk / cont)} 03:09, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

I'm not sure why I can't delete them "on my own say-so" - they are pretty much surely violating policy. Anyways, I figured the tag might spur someone to write better rationales, so I could revisit the article later to check out which images to nominate for deletion.

1964 Gabon coup d'état

Do you have any specific concerns with the article? --I'm an Editorofthewiki^{[citation needed]} 18:19, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

I adressed all of Ton's concerns. Perhaps we should just remove the technical assistance note, as they just asked for "technical assistance": nothing more, nothing less. I don't understand how you consider the bit about the Peace Corps officer vague. Did you see the link to show election? --I'm an Editorofthewiki^{[citation needed]} 18:40, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Jackson pictures again

Hi again, on the Michael Jackson article and other articles relating to Michael Jackson we have used the image of him at the White House in 1984. We are allowed to use it as it's public Domain etc etc. I was wondering, Jackson meet other US Presidents (I'm sure again at the white house) as well as at other places. He was with the first President Bush in the late 1980's. He was also with Clinton numerous times in the 90's and early 2000's. He has even performed live at numerous democratic conventions and inaugural's. I'm not sure if you know much about Jackson's history, but I wonder if any of these would qualify as the same free use as the 1984 visit to the white house? — Realist² 16:58, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

Replied at mine. — Realist² 21:47, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

Removing old photographs

Dear Calliopejen1: Before you remove photographs you need to READ the age of the photograph. That means the year after the small c which means "cerca." Cerca means the year, more or less, the photograph was made. If a photograph is more than 100 years old, it is in public domian, and for that reason you do not need to remove the photograph. Howeer, you removed many photographs that were well over 120 years old, totally in public domain. Chaos4tu (talk) 15:18, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Old Photos taken by Alfred Shea Addis

Those old photos were given to me by Carl Chafin. Chafin was the authority on old American Western photography. He spent decades of his life collecting photographs, tintypes and such. He cateloged all of his collection, and kept his material in pristine condition. I was lucky enough to meet him through a contact at the Henry Huntingon Library, located in San Marino, California. Chafin knew nothing about the person I was researching, Yda Addis, but he did know a little about the personal life of her father Alfred Shea Addis. He was rather flabergasted that I had an interest in A.S. Addis. We conversed and traded information about our subjects for a long time. He was kind enough to give me the photographs and told me where there were others kept in various musuems. When Chafin died about 10 years ago, his wife threw out his entire collection of photographs, just put them out for the garbage man to pick up. I guess that is what happens when one devotes one's life to a precious collection of photographs instead of one's wife. Chaos4tu (talk) 15:54, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Your improvements to Zinfandel are much appreciated, thanks. And thanks pointing out areas for further improvement by tagging places with "clarify" and "vague".

Homer Simpson

Hi, I noticed that you made some edits to the article [5] and changed the style format that was used for books. I've never seen that style used before, is it part of the MOS? Personally, I prefer the old way because I like having all of the books listed together because it serves as sort of a further reading section as well. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 17:47, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

I would prefer to change it back for now, because I find it a little confusing. Not having to jump back and forth is good, but the page numbers aren't included in the refs anyway. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 18:50, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Image:JPRESS_1962.gif

I've noticed that you've tagged a number of images for proposed deletion under the assumption that anything published after 1922 is protected by copyright. But that is not always the case for U.S. works. Prior to 1976, copyright protection in the U.S. was not automatic. Failure to follow the requirements meant that a given work would be in the public domain. You say you are a law student, this might be fun for you to research. At any rate, the notice and deposit laws in place in 1962 were sufficiently cumbersome that many companies did not bother with the effort and expense of copyright protection for things like catalogs and sales flyers. They left them in the public domain, and those items are still in the public domain today. So please be careful when you change a tag on an image to a tag that suggests that it is protected by copyright when you don't know whether it is or not. Particularly in the case of an image uploaded by someone who apparently has access to the original source material and is therefore in a position to ascertain if the copyright formalities for that particular item were followed.

You may prefer to assume the image referenced above is subject to copyright (since the uploader in this case says that he is the copyright holder). And certainly that's a reasonable assumption. But you might also wish to be cautious when assuming that someone who has posted something that he or she might not have personally created is not the copyright holder. There is no rule that a person must dedicate the highest resolution available of the image to the public domain or a cc license, or that he or she can't watermark it first, or that he or she can't purchase or otherwise acquire the copyright from someone else and then license it to Wikipedia. Based on information on the uploader's user page & some basic research I find it entirely plausible that this uploader does hold the copyright for the images that he says that he does. Crypticfirefly (talk) 23:09, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Oh, another fun topic for you to research if you are bored. On the discussion for Image:JDOConner.jpg you commented that you believed it to be a derivative work. Not that it's relevant to the discussion, but in general, photographs of 2D paintings are not considered "derivative works." They are considered "copies." There's some caselaw on it that you could track down that's rather interesting. Have fun! Crypticfirefly (talk) 02:55, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Opera stubs

Mmm I see you stub tagged Giulio Sabino. (thanks for helping out BTW). However Kleinach seems to think the article is above a stub class, perhaps influenced by the fact he created the article. Personally I think it could be expanded a fair bit to ensure it isn't stubby in parts. He has also done the same with La fausse esclave which is obviously still a stub.

You are right I didn't take this picture, but someone else did. It is in a public event so doesn't that mean we can use it? I mean other sites use the pic and don't they have the same copyright things as wiki does. If not, my mistake and u can delete this. I tried to delete it but do not know how.
