Sorry

Oops, I was a bit unclear, wasn't I? According to the merging and summarising policies, when you split out parts of one article into another article (or merge bits of one article into another), you're supposed to link the old article in your edit summary so that it's easy for people to track the history of the words. Doing this helps with the legal side of things at Wikipedia, by helping us comply with the GFDL license about attribution. Because you forgot to do that in your initial edit, I was just (trying to) make a note of it on the talk page to assist anyone who wants to know where the text came from. I don't want to merge the page back into the main Rosario + Vampire article.-Malkinann (talk) 07:22, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Old Turkic Script

Hi. I was working on the images from commons rather than the English wikipedia. I replaced the {{ShouldBeSVG}} there and tagged the images {{Vector version available}}. If the tags remain here then they must have been double tagged since templates from commons are included here in image descriptions. If it's on commons, best to tag it there to avoid duplication. I'll go find the remaining duplicates. — ₪₪ ch1902 ₪₪ 11:42, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

ro:Racoviţa, Sibiu

Salutare, sunt ro:utilizator:asybaris01 si am dezvoltat un articol monografic despre satul meu natal ro:Racoviţa, Sibiu. Acest articol a obtinut statutul de articol de calitate pe wikipedia romaneasca. Daca veti avea amabilitatea de a-l citi sau macar de a-l vizualiza veti vedea amploarea lui, precum si bogatia de informatii existente in articolele adiacente. Dupa parerea mea si a altora este un produs de export cultural pentru Romania. Am inceput demersurile de cauta traducatori specializati pentru promovarea lui in alte limbi de circulatie internationala. V-as fi recunoscator daca v-ati exprima parerea despre el si mai ales daca timpul va permite sa participati la publicarea lui in limba engleza.Asybaris01 (talk) 14:41, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Lilly Maxwell

Hello Inger,

Did you contribute the following passage to the Wikipedia page on Woman's sufferage in the UK?

"Lily Maxwell was the first women to vote in Britain in 1867 after the Great Reform Act of 1832 that explicitly excluded all women from the voting register by deliberately using the term "male" rather than "person". Before this, a very small number of wealthy women were able to vote. Maxwell, a shop owner, met the property qualifications required to become eligible for the vote and her name was accidentally added to the election register; this was used for great publicity by the women's suffrage campaigners at the time. Women's voting was later declared illegal."

If you did can I firstly suggest the first sentence be altered to:-

In 1867 Lily Maxwell was the first women to vote in Britain after the Great Reform Act of 1832

Just to make it clearer if indeed 1867 was the year Lily Maxwell voted.

It is this sentence however that really prompts me to write.

"Before this, a very small number of wealthy women were able to vote."

Can you cite any examples? I actually only know of one - in 1554! - and the circumstances were quite exceptional.

I do not think it was ever an intention of the 1832 Reform Act to disenfranchise woman - because I'm quite convinced that no one at the time thought any were enfranchised.

I'm prepared to be corrected.

Yours sincerely,

Paul Buttle

Google Chrome Version Deletion

Yes, it was deleted because Google Chrome does not yet have a stable release. Basically any "beta" or "alpha", etc, release of a program should be placed under the "preview release" tag, as it is not a complete and stable program mostly free of bugs. By calling it "beta" Google is saying that there may be major bugs in the program and thus it shouldn't be considered "stable". We follow suit and consider the release a "preview" release. When Google decides to remove the "beta" tag, we can consider it "stable". So whenever they do that, feel free to recreate the stable release page. Thanks for asking! -sHARD (talk) 19:16, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Help with image for deletion category

Hello, if you have a question, please post it along with a new helpme tag. Thanks! Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 19:26, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

{{helpme}} I have come across a category that has been deleted as empty but contains multiple file marked for deletion Category:All images with a rationale but unknown copyright status i don't know what to do in such a case so i tried to contact a admin to delete the images and to fix the template so it doesn't add any more images to the category.

The category has since been restored by Stwalkerster (talk · contribs · blocks · protections · deletions · page moves · rights · RfA). Thanks for letting us know. Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 20:11, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

{{helpme}} The parent category of this category report 0 content but there are in fact 340 files that are marked for sd but are not as of yet deleted some are even marked as delete after 7 January, can a admin take care of this.And by take care i i am referring to the deletion of the files.

It appears that you're looking at Category:Images with a rationale but unknown copyright status - the "0" there is the number of subcategories "down" the tree from the category that is numbered, not the number of images in that sub-category. Skier Dude (talk) 06:55, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for catching those images like File:Silvanamissearthznla3vy7.jpg, I'm trying to delete them. I'm actually deleting them under F9, since they're technically supposed to have been tagged for a week before deleting if you go by F5. But if they're copyright violations, I need to know where they came from. I can't find it for File:Silvanamissearthznla3vy7.jpg, do you know where it's from? Thanks again for your tagging work! Peace, delldot ∇. 22:34, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, F5 technically isn't correct, because they haven't been tagged as orphaned for a week. I've been deleting the ones you tagged as F9 because they're all pretty obvious copyvios so far--but I'm only able to do that when I can figure out the source they're copied from. Thanks for the link to the PUI page, I'll close the ones there that I can. I should have noticed that in the first place. (No need to tag PUI listed images that are waiting to get closed, someone will come along and close them eventually). Peace, delldot ∇. 22:50, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

F5 speedies

You currently need to be careful when tagging files for CSD#F5; because image moves/image redirects are now live on WMF, but are still a bit buggy. In particular, file links via a file redirect do not show up in the list of file links at the bottom of the image page. In the case of File:Hustle Series 5 Episode 2 extract.ogg, the file was in use on Hustle (TV series)#Format, just as the FUR stated, only it was being called via File:Hustle Series 5 Episode 2 extract.ogv. When you encounter a file like that, where there are no file links but there is an FUR, it's important to check the target article to confirm that the file really isn't in use.

Keep up the good work! Happy‑melon 13:08, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

FfD nominations of "unencyclopedic" images

Hello! Why are you continually nominating project images for deletion with only the rationale "unencyclopedic" (and no further explanation)? The images in question were never intended to be used in articles, a requirement only applicable to non-free media. —David Levy 15:54, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

There just screenshots of wikipedia with no encyclopedic use reusability.This is why we have photobucket or picasa to store screanshots.--IngerAlHaosului (talk) 21:27, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

Again, excepting non-free images, there is no requirement that images stored at Wikipedia have encyclopedic use. It's quite common to upload images for illustrative use within discussions/proposals, and I'm aware of no consensus that this is inappropriate.

What benefit do you believe would be obtained through these images' deletion? In case you didn't realize, this wouldn't remove them from our servers (so no hard disk space would be recovered). —David Levy 01:49, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

License for images

When I uploaded the File:Acid3detailSafari4.png and File:Acid3detailMidori0.1.9.png the form asked me if I got that shot from a GPL program, and so the screenshot file is GPL too.

Thanks --Efa (talk) 14:19, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

• The files have a free license and a non-free rational.You can't be free and non-free at the same time.Why did you use the non-free rational template, was your intention to uses something like this {{information}} or did you believe that all files need a rational?Btw possible unfree file is not a deletion discution.--IngerAlHaosului (talk) 14:32, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

I never chosed the templete, I followed the guided steps, and the template was chosed automatically. I describe the procedure I used for upload, so you can explain where is the error:
- clicked to left menu, Upload file, point to https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Wikipedia:Upload
- Chosed the link "A screenshot taken of a movie, TV program, computer game, web site, computer program, music video, or other such source" because the file is a screenshot of a computer program. Point to: https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/w/index.php?title=Special:Upload&uselang=en-screenshot&wpUploadDescription={{Non-free use rationale%0A+|Article+++++++++++=+%0A+|Description+++++++=+%0A+|Source++++++++++++=+%0A+|Portion+++++++++++=+%0A+|Low_resolution++++=+%0A+|Purpose+++++++++++=+%0A+|Replaceability++++=+%0A+|other_information+=+%0A}}
- filled the fields, leaving empty the fields not needed, as say here "If you are uploading a screenshot which is not copyrighted (such as freely-licensed software), you do not need to include a fair use rationale."--Efa (talk) 10:44, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

• Hmm got to talk to someone about that form, ok so here is how things stand only use non-free rational if you are uploading a unfree image ex:screenshot of copyrighted program etc. or image with unfree elements like screenshot of internet explorer (fairuse rational for iexplorer) viewing wikipedia (free wikipedia web page screenshot).The reason it ads a Non-free use rationale by default its because 99% of screenshots uploaded are unfree. So if you want to upload a 100% free image to wikipedia and the standard options give you ex:<Chosed the link "A screenshot taken of a movie, TV program, computer game, web site, computer program, music video, or other such source"> produse a rational by default try the Entirely my own work option. Or better yet if the image is 100% free, upload direct to commons. We are currently in the process of moving all free images to commons and your files will get moved ther eventually anyway.--IngerAlHaosului (talk) 11:11, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

I hope that more than 1% of the software is uncopyrighted ;-) In any case I'm not using Wiki Commons, because my account has different username there, and my user is busy, so I cannot unify them I also hope that, but we systematically moved and are moving to commons free screen shots and other free stuff so it will get there .Eventually there will bee 1% free stuff on en wikipedia the rest of the 99% free will be on commons.--IngerAlHaosului (talk) 05:30, 14 January 2010 (UTC) --Efa (talk) 23:21, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Deletion of unused images containing Wikipedia logo

You recently tagged a lot of images that contain the Wikipedia logo for criteria for speedy deletion F5 because they're not used in articles. While the logo is copyrighted, the community has often allowed images with it to remain because it's part of the project, although this is not documented anywhere I can find. I've raised this issue at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions#Wikipedia logo. I'd appreciate your comments there. Thank you. --Mysdaao ^talk 18:12, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

It was explained to you that these images need not be used in articles when you nominated many of them for deletion at FFD (where they were kept). Your attempt to now have them speedily deleted on the same basis (with the false statement that fair-use claims are being made) is highly disruptive and borders on bad faith. I've reverted your edits, and I will manually reinsert the unrelated tweaks that you made. —David Levy 18:27, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

I have only tagged images with the wikipedia logo that ware not used in a article, files that according to {{Non-free_Wikimedia_logo}} contain non-free elements witch according to Wikipedia:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion#F5 is a valid reason to nominate.I didn't target the same files i tagged all file in the order they apare in this category.My intention was not to be disruptive, i am sorry it turn out that way and i offer my sincere apology I will not tag for deletion the images in the category category:Screenshots of Wikipedia for deletion regardless of copyright status especially those used in any page.If it is permitted i will remove the logo and upload to commons and mark as csd F5F8 but only those not used anywhere at all, if you permit. And again my apology.--IngerAlHaosului (talk) 18:55, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

The Wikimedia Foundation allows its logo to be used throughout its websites. This is not fair use. This is why the {{Non-free Wikimedia logo}} template and "logo=yes" parameter (which conveys the same information) exist. In many instances, you were simultaneously adding the "logo=yes" parameter or replacing the {{Non-free Wikimedia logo}} template with it (both cited as solutions in some of the IFD discussions) when listing these images for speedy deletion for exactly the same reason that was rejected at IFD. (And yes, some of these were the same images that you nominated there.)

Please do not remove the logos or take any further action to address this nonexistent problem. —David Levy 19:07, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

As you request i will not touch images tagged with Template:Wikipedia-screenshot at all.Something must be done with {{Non-free Wikimedia logo}} to state clearly that the files tagged are not fair use because of it so nobody will make the same mistake I did regarding there fair use status. Maybe add the exact phrase you just added "The Wikimedia Foundation allows its logo to be used throughout its websites. This is not fair use."And again my apology but please understand that the template is systematically portrayed as non free image tag, its name its categorization the template text itself everything about it screens non-free.--IngerAlHaosului (talk) 19:34, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Your misunderstanding was explained to you when you nominated some of these same images for deletion last month. (In fact, you even just hit the exact images to which the "logo=yes" parameter was added and cited as a solution during the deletion discussions, which already had been tagged as kept at IFD!) —David Levy 19:39, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Back then i understand that free images can be used in other namespaces other then article.But today i came to realize that logo=yes or {{Non-free Wikimedia logo}} are actually non-free image tags and that files using the are fair use dus completely different then the topic IFD I now know the error of my way and i always strive not to make the same mistake twice.

But please add "The Wikimedia Foundation allows its logo to be used throughout its websites. This is not fair use." to the template or something in that nature so nobody will make the mistake of believing that a tag like {{Non-free Wikimedia logo}} makes the file non-free.--IngerAlHaosului (talk) 19:56, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Map files

I noticed that you tagged lots of map images with WP:CSD#G8. If I'm not mistaken, they appear to be files that were all copied to Commons, so did you mean WP:CSD#F8? Best, JamieS93 00:15, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

G8. Pages dependent on a non-existent or deleted page,such as talk pages with no corresponding subject page; subpages with no parent page; image pages without a corresponding image; redirects to invalid targets, such as nonexistent targets, redirect loops, and bad titles; and categories populated by deleted or retargeted templates. This excludes any page that is useful to the project, and in particular: deletion discussions that are not logged elsewhere, user talk pages, talk page archives, plausible redirects that can be changed to valid targets, and image pages or talk pages for images that exist on Wikimedia Commons. Exceptions may be sign-posted with the template {{G8-exempt}}.

F8 is for local images identical in commons there was no images just local description pages for images on commons.--IngerAlHaosului (talk) 09:48, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for taking the time to query images to check on their status.

If you are interested in helping clear some backlogs there's a list of possibly 'conflicted' images here User:Sfan00_IMG/Conflicted-_Jan_1st_2010.

Perhaps you's like to help get them resolved up by talking with the relevant up-loaders?

Some of the images on list may have already been resolved (ie confirmed as free or non-free) in which case they should be removed the list, and tagged accordingly,

• free images should have full {{information}} and if can be moved to Commons
• non-free images need a FULL and detailed fair use rationale which explains how use of the image

meets WP:NFCC.

Your message isn't helping. I uploaded this image and several others years ago. I copied the permission by the author out of the email and his email-adress is added. Naturally you can ask him about verifying his statement and that's what your formula suggests. So do it. Or you have invented a new tool that is not properly implemented into the image uploading process and now ask me to ask the owner of the images to send me a reconfirmation that you can't verify. So what exactly is your point? And could you use a more efficient way of communication that doesn't clutter userpages. Wandalstouring (talk) 20:30, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

And the free use template does not exist/has been deleted. I've not intentionally tagged my images as free + nonfree but Wikipedia is designed that way.

So what do you want me to do? -- Tom Jenkins ^(reply) 14:53, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

If the images are free replace the rational with the {{information}} template and remove the {{conflicted-license}} tag.--IngerAlHaosului (talk) 14:57, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

see License for images section in the 2010 partial collapsible section above--IngerAlHaosului (talk) 15:02, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. Images updated. That wizard script needs to change. See if you can get it done. -- Tom Jenkins ^(reply) 15:15, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

Upload form

{{adminhelp}} someone please update the upload form so it doesn't add nonfree rational to free screenshots a radio button free non-free that add information and rational respectively or whatever you think is apropriet.See above discussion and License for images section in the 2010 partial collapsible section for reference on the problem.--IngerAlHaosului (talk) 15:19, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

We already have a notice on the upload form for that (see here). Though I doubt the English Wikipedia will do much else in that regard, you can propose the change at the village pump. Blurpeace 01:41, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

MIDIjam screenshot page edit

Hi there! I noticed that you made an edit to the File:Rocky theme.PNG page, a file which I originally had uploaded for the MIDIjam article. MIDIjam is free software, available on the Internet free of charge and for distribution. Since this is free software, wouldn't a screenshot from that software necessitate the {{Free screenshot|template=GPL}} tag? I don't think a non-free media use rationale is needed in this case.

I noticed you used some sort of JavaScript program called FurMe to make this change, but when I went to its page, it said "This script is tested only on Mozilla Firefox (and unofficially Opera). It will not work on Microsoft Internet Explorer." Maybe that's irrelevant. Anyway, I would appreciate some more information about this, and if we can agree on a state to leave that file's page on, then that would be great. Thanks! dogman15 (talk) 09:03, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

The program is freeware see Gratis versus Libre as in no monetary cost but its not Free and open source software libre, a screenshot of a peace of software is under the same license as the software itself.Only makes senses to have the {{GPL}} if the softwear is GPL witch is not. Furthermore the softwear is proprietary although gratis the template {{Free screenshot}} is only used on software that are libre.As for FurMe it simply adds a form list so i dont have to remember all the license templates names or consult the list every time.--IngerAlHaosului (talk) 10:08, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

What about this image (from Freeciv)? It's a "free and open source" game, and/but it doesn't need the non-free rationale that you believe the MIDIjam picture needs. dogman15 (talk) 20:04, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

Free civ is licensed under GPL a open source license making it free as in Gratis AND Libre meaning it doesn't cost money AND is open source. MIDIjam is Gratis and Proprietary meaning it doesn't cost money and it is closed source.The term for such a combination is Freeware. Another example is Mozilla Firefox vs Microsoft Internet Explorer. Firefox is Gratis AND Libre, Microsoft Internet Explorer is Gratis and Proprietary, or if you don't like the analogy replace Microsoft Internet Explorer with Opera also Gratis and Proprietary

Thank you. That answers my question. dogman15 (talk) 08:46, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Image problem

Hi, I see you uploaded File:Remains of manacles in the wall of the Marshalsea prison 12-27-2007 3-31-04 PM 2272x1704.jpg to the Commons. Would you mind deleting it? It was though that these were manacles, but further research suggests they probably aren't. I meant to delete it a few months ago, but forgot. My apologies!

Wiki break

File:O'Neill Inauguration.JPG

I went on a short vacation. I marked my talk page that I was on a wikibreak. On my return I find that two images were deleted. It was unreasonable to expect an immediate response.

However, I don't like seeing our (MII) material without attribution, so its not your actions that I object to, but your unreasonable time frame. Therefore rather than complaining elsewhere I will ask you to do a job (which I'm too old and tired to do myself)

It is this image, there are other variations of it. My attention was first drawn to it by an author of a book requesting permission and a better image. I was concerned when I couldn't find it. I asked the uploader, who was certain it was from our museum but could not help with other details. After an exhaustive search I can now say that the image did not come from our museum nor do we have a "Dartmouth Map no. 25". The source listed is not true.

So, will you fix that? ClemMcGann (talk) 09:56, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

Really don't understand what am i supposed to fix should i request the 2 images undeleted and what am I supposed to do about File:O'Neill Inauguration.JPG? Please explain. As for the timeframe wikibrake thing I am in the process of moving entire categories of free images to common using semi-automatic tools and scripts occasionally when preparing a 100 image batch I find images that are blatant copivio witch I mark accordingly, images with conflicting licenses witch i mark accordingly and images with insufficient source details or broken source links or images that just look suspicions as possible copyvio but for witch I cant find evidence aider way witch i mark as No evidence of permission all this marking is dome using a 2 click tool known as Wikipedia:Twinkle witch automatically adds a warning on the uploader user page as a background action so i really dint get to see you user page at all.--IngerAlHaosului (talk) 11:10, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

Your "semi-automatic tools and scripts" should either search for the wikibreak template and make allowance or just give longer notice than seven days.

I gather that you see your task as identifying "images with insufficient source details or broken source links or images ... ...". What about images with wrong source information. File:O'Neill Inauguration.JPG gives, as its source the National Maritime Museum of Ireland. This is false - it did not. So it should say "source unknown" - and if so, perhaps it should be deleted? I am on the council of the Maritime Institute of Ireland - who own the museum and its artifacts. I (subject to agreement of the rest of the council) grant reproduction permission. So, are you interested in cleaning this up? ClemMcGann (talk) 17:50, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

Just because you can drive a car doesn't mean that you can make a car, i don't know how to do that "search for the wikibreak template" as for 7 days that is policy made by admins. But i can post a copyvio deletion request on commons.As for me I see your task as moving free images to wikimedia commons the identifying part is just separating the grain from the chaff(?).--IngerAlHaosului (talk) 18:14, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

My task is confined to Irish maritime history, and if you are ever in this part of the world, do drop into the museum and say hello, meanwhile, here is another File:O'Neill in focus.JPG ClemMcGann (talk) 18:49, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

File:Cumarathunga munidasa.jpg

Hi ,Thanks for your alert.I edit the permission for the image. This image is very popular image and more than 100 years old. Author must be deceased. But i copied the website i upload this image. Please advise me. (Eeriyaka (talk) 12:35, 3 February 2010 (UTC))

Although the original image is public domain the cropped version used in the newpaper is under the same copyright as the newpaper itself. You can incorporate PD images in Copyrighted works but you not the other way around.The only way that image is free if you can get the original PD photo or a scan of the original PD photo that is also released under a free license by the person doing the scanning, and the result is only PD if the license for the scanned image is also PD.--IngerAlHaosului (talk) 12:53, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

Well I understand your concern. But what could I do if the image is more than 100 years old and common image for ionised this person. Author of the newspaper definitely will understand this image will dedicate to this well known famous person. I will guarantee this will not an issue forever. I repeat I could upload this image any public private media without anyone permission. If you want I will remove copyright from the newspaper. Eeriyaka (talk) 22:15, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

The image is properly attributed and tagged now so until a better image is found this one will have no problems probably for years to come.--IngerAlHaosului (talk) 05:52, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

Ah... I see the problem

I think you meant to use {{db-f8}}, not {{db-g8}}. #F8 is for commons migration. #G8 is for something totally different. - Tbsdy (formerly Ta bu shi da yu) ^talk 16:08, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

G8. Pages dependent on a non-existent or deleted page,such as talk pages with no corresponding subject page; subpages with no parent page; image pages without a corresponding image; redirects to invalid targets, such as nonexistent targets, redirect loops, and bad titles; and categories populated by deleted or retargeted templates. This excludes any page that is useful to the project, and in particular: deletion discussions that are not logged elsewhere, user talk pages, talk page archives, plausible redirects that can be changed to valid targets, and image pages or talk pages for images that exist on Wikimedia Commons. The migration was done image and pages ware deleted but someone recreated just the local description page.--IngerAlHaosului (talk) 17:44, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

Fair enough, but it would be more clear if you tagged with {{db-f8}}. I'm making a guess that was the issue here, because you only left a link to the image... it would be helpful if you could give a clearer message on my talk page next time.

There are 2 concepts of the word free Free as in Gratis( no money) Or Libre (giving others the right to do what the want with it modified, it sell it, etc. That image was none of the above.

Freedom of Panorama nominations

Please do not nominate images as FOP violations without trying to figure out what country a photo was taken in. It is a waste of time for everyone. E.g. File:Clover Park High School entrance.jpg says very clearly on the image page that it is used in Clover Park High School. Going to this article, I see this is a school in the US. Therefore there is no FOP problem. Calliopejen1 (talk) 14:49, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

I'd say that the vast majority of your nominations are going nowhere and most of them contain obviously lazy reasoning. Things like "I don't really know what is going on so I'm nominating it" or "no location" when the location is obviously apparent. If you aren't going to actually consider images before your nominate them, your nominates can and will be seen as disruptive.--Crossmr (talk) 17:28, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

I've asked the School authority to send a permission e-mail to you, and what about these images?

I've asked my school's general assistant to send an e-mail to wikipedia regarding permissions for these images File:Lencanasabs3.jpg,File:Lencanasabs1.jpg ,File:Lencanasabs2.jpg,File:Sabs kuantan logo.jpg,File:Sabskuantan8.jpg,File:Sabskuantan7.jpg,File:Sabskuantan5.jpg and File:Sabskuantan4.jpg so, they should be fine now.

But however, how about these images? File:Jalalpur jattan masjid minar view.jpg File:Jalalpur jattan factory minar.jpg File:Jalalpur jattan factory.jpg what can i do about them? They are taken in Pakistan. But you are insisting that you cant find any law regarding the Freedom of Panorama in that country. So what should i do? Contact the government and ask them to create that law>?? That's certainly impossible.

In my opinion, if the freedom of panorama is unknown, u should consider it as 'allowed'. This is an image taken in Pakistan too, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Clk_Towe_Slk.jpg in the Sialkot page, why is this image allowed then????????? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Waleedpak (talk • contribs) 02:40, 6 February 2010 (UTC) Please reply A.S.A.P. --Waleed Dar 02:38, 6 February 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Waleedpak (talk • contribs)

I'm not an admin, but I can tell you exactly why that image cannot be moved to the Commons, it's not a "free" image. If you look at the image, you'll notice that it's originally from Flickr and that not only is it copyrighted there (not a free public image) but the Wikipedia image has been modified to remove all of the copyright information in the bottom right corner of the original image. If you read the Commons Licensing page, you'll see that only free content can be moved to the Commons.

I hope that helps, let me know on my talk page if you'd like any additional help. Banaticus (talk) 21:07, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

I don, i nominate as possible unfree so people come review it and determin is it free or not if its not, if not does the NFCC thing apply etc. Then i want a image deleted i am more direct File:Coconutoiljar.jpg, when i place a image on the PUF forum i am asking for the opinion and help of the community if solving a problem too big for me to unilaterally decide.--IngerAlHaosului (talk) 06:18, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

If 15 seconds of your time is too big for you to figure out on your own, you shouldn't be involved in the process. File:Danube bratislava.jpg it took all of 15 seconds to click on the user page on flickr for this image, type in the keyword "danube" and find the exact same image from the same user.

Speedy delete nomination of File:Ejaculation Educational Demonstration.OGG

Please read the criteria: "This page may meet Wikipedia’s criteria for speedy deletion as a dependent page of a page which does not exist, has been deleted, or is itself currently tagged for speedy deletion. This does not include pages which are useful to the project such as user talk pages, talk page archives, information for a future article, etc. See CSD G8.".

Also, the excludes refers to exclusions for G8 (i.e, you cannot G8 a talk page which exists here for an image on Commons). --NeilN ^{talk to me} 18:01, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

The fact that the video is in use within a current article on Wikepedia means that the speedy delete mechanism is not the correct one. I just nominated the video for deletion yesterday through the proper process, only to find that it is located on the commons site. When I went to the commons site, I saw that a recent files for deletion discussion had already taken place and the consensus was to keep the image. The speedy delete would be appropriate for an image that was orphaned, or not used anywhere. For instance, if the Ejaculation article were deleted, and there were no other references to the image being used that may be a case FOR speedy delete. I can tell you that on the commons site, the image is referenced in many places, including three or four on the en.wikipedia and a few on ither language versions. I suggest that the chances of it being deleted on commons are very small. Atom (talk) 18:49, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

RE: File source problem with File:Hp-150 text mode.png

Thanks for uploading File:Hp-150 text mode.png. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4. If the image is copyrighted and non-free, the image will be deleted 48 hours after 14:14, 13 March 2010 (UTC) per speedy deletion criterion F7. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. IngerAlHaosului (talk) 14:14, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

Re: File permission problem with File:Nlr-tjloco-amoswolfe.jpg

I am wondering what has led you to tag this image. I refer to the following:

"This image or media is missing evidence of permission. It is sourced to someone other than the uploader..."

In the image description, I stated:

"Original photograph: taken 8th December 2001 by Amos Wolfe Edited; black and white / colour highlight by Amos Wolfe"

Perhaps you found this image also published elsewhere on the Internet? My username here on Wikipedia is not the same as my real name in the outside world so it may not be clear that I gave permission to use the image. I am happy to confirm this if you contact me via whatever site the image may be found under my real name, for example Facebook, flickr, etc.

Hi, and thanks for your message. Rest assured thar the licence is okay. It is in German, and I kept the original because I did not want to tamper with the text. The image is also used in the German Wikipedia. All the best, <KF> 23:29, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

Warning

And I'm telling you to STOP tagging valuable freely useable images I uploaded in good faith for deletion. Dr. Blofeld ^{White cat} 12:21, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

• And I am telling you if it doesn't have EVIDENCE of permission i will have it deleted or have it declared non-free and subject to WP:NFCC--IngerAlHaosului (talk) 12:54, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

Isn;t that a little paranoic? What about the thousands of images I've already uploaded and been trusted to find free content in. Occasionally I've made mistakes with fair use images in whether they have expired or not but I do know what flickr images we can use or what we can't. Hell I've gone out of my way to make OTRS agreements for otherwise non free images, You can be the biggest contributor to english wikipedia like me have hundreds of good articles yet not be trusted that the image originally uploaded to flickr was a 2.0. You are basically calling me a liar. Might it actually be more damaging to the encyclopedia that you go ahead and delete this image when it was and is actually perfectly legitimate. Its not my fault the flickr user left and nobody verified this image in the meantime. Is it not more likely, if you take into account the thousands of my free image flickr uploads to here and the commons that actually this may have been legitimate?Guilty until proven otherwise indicates a severe lack of good faith and trust in our editors. Britannica don't have this lack of respect and word amongst their editors, so why it that wikipedia editors have to treat each other like a piece of dogs crap? Dr. Blofeld ^{White cat} 12:59, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

• No, i am not calling you a liar, but i so encounter many images in the same situation i guess i just snaped, sorry about that, its not you fault flickr is so fucked up. Flickr has no license history and its just a mater of time until the attribution chain is broken . At least commons have flickr review we have nothing and it makes me boil with rage. i min how hard is it to use make a webcite and use it as source. Sry, but i am sure you can imagine the loop hole this sort of thing can cause and the amount of damage it can do.--IngerAlHaosului (talk) 13:16, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

Yep I know, that's why I 99% of the time upload images to the commons. It does occasionally irritate me though that there is a distinct lack of trust among editors. I bet if I had uploaded it to the commons it would have been authorised with a day and regardless of whether the flickr user left or changed the license it would be clearly OK. Its just I try very hard to find free images of people in places like small towns in Cambodia and Asia/Africa etc so if content is deleted which is "know" was and is legit it frustrates me. Dr. Blofeld ^{White cat} 13:29, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

• Trust me its not unwarranted, i moved many images to commons and what did i get in return http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:IngerAlHaosului/Archive/Current and http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:IngerAlHaosului/awd .Trust me when i say nothing makes you stop trusting your fellow editors faster then a administrator roasting you alive for it.--IngerAlHaosului (talk) 13:42, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

Delete it then if you wish. Dr. Blofeld ^{White cat} 13:44, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

• I will add a FUR that should be enough to keep the image locally at least until it is still used.--IngerAlHaosului (talk) 13:57, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

RE: File:Rail-reedhamswingbridge-amoswolfe.jpg

This image is actually a photograph I took myself. It was also published on the website http://www.wherrylines.org.uk/ which I created in 2001 and was responsible for until 2005. I am no longer in control of that domain so I am unable to access any e-mails sent to the webmaster's address.

If you visit this page you will see that the website was created by "Amos E Wolfe". Furthermore a look at Amos E Wolfe's car in the photograph on that page matches that in this image. I know that this does not confer conclusive proof but it can at least show a reasonable connection between the site creator and myself. -=# Amos E Wolfe ^talk #=- 17:21, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

Image tagging

I know you mean no harm when you tag images for lack of source or permission, but I strongly suggest you look at the images carefully, especially older ones. Everything we had to upload then was not standardized and might have information like "made it myself" or "created by me" without the use of a template. User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 18:12, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

I usually tag lack of source when no source is present at all not even a created by me or the source link is broken as for lack of permission i usually tag in conjunction with the former or if there is a 3rd party mentioned "ex:photo by Jon Dow" and the user name or the user page of the uploader doesn't have the name, like this one -> File:Senayan_City_Interior4.jpg.And my intention is not deleting but fixing the issue one way or another.--IngerAlHaosului (talk) 01:02, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

I was just pointing my main issue out, as I did with the ribbon drawing I did you tagged for source issues. Anyways, keep up the good work, but just keep an eye out on the things I mentioned. User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 03:22, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

Commons transfer

Please see this edit. The main problem with the state you left it in was the broken {{geograph}} tag. I think this arises from the move to Commons tool you used. Try using CommonsHelper 2 instead.

(And you could also suggest to J3Mrs (talk · contribs · logs) that they upload directly to the Commons. that would pre-empt the problem!) — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 16:54, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Pauline Druiff.jpg

"A tag has been placed on File:Pauline Druiff.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia".

Would have been helpful if you had listed the article that this referred to? As the file itself is meaningless to me? Please remember in future to make proper references to what you are deleting as it can be impossible to rectify a teenagers over zealous deletion. The only picture I can think of that you may have deleted did actually have permission to be used + evidence of such was given to the satisfaction of Wiki guidelines. If it does turn out you have deleted such a file in error then you will be required to rectify the situation.--Pandaplodder (talk) 10:05, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

It appears i nominated the file under F9, I only nominate under this criteria when i find a image without a OTRS ticket taken from a website and that has a different license on the website then on wikipedia ex: wikipedia license creative commons BY-SA-2.0 and the source CC-BY-NC-SA-2.0 or CC-BY-ND-2.0 or All Rights Reserved ,etc. I am not a administrator so i can't see the image page detail or history and i cant tell what was exactly was the issue you can ask a admin for details or appeal the delete, more info at Wikipedia:Deletion review--IngerAlHaosului (talk) 11:03, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

Improper image deletion tagging

Please carefully read the information on the image pages as I've found more than one today (in less than 15 images, too) that were improperly tagged for deletion. All of them had the information you tagged them as not having. I really appreciate all your work, but looking at your recent history, it appears that you have been doing a lot of improper tagging lately. This creates unnecessary work for others, and is not a good thing. If you aren't sure about an image, please ask before going on a tagging spree. I'll be glad to help you if I can. ···日本穣^? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 01:42, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

Tagged image file

Hi there. You tagged up File:RLampitt_Pelagra_recovery.jpg as being non-free content. I contacted the file's original creator and got formal (electronic) confirmation that it was a free image; previously I just had verbal confirmation. Anyway, I've forwarded this along to the permissions-en address but I've yet to hear anything in return and the deletion tags are still on the image. Should I remove these? --PLUMBAGO 09:37, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

Source link rot

You have a very good idea. I really don't know how such a system would work, but I'm sure that one could be done, and your comparison to the flickrreview system at Commons is potentially useful. Please propose it at the village pump for proposals. Nyttend (talk) 15:11, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

Image speedy delete?

I am quite puzzled by this sequence of notices. Permission is clearly stated and granted by the image uploader. Thanks in advance.  PЄTЄRS VЄСRUМВА ►talk  13:32, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

It lacks any form of attribution or source not even "my image" or "by me" or "by uploader".--IngerAlHaosului (talk) 13:56, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

Isn't that stated by "I, the copyright holder of this work, hereby publish it under the following licenses:"? There's only one individual involved, that is, the person who uploaded the file. Perhaps something less drastic than threatening deletion with a drop dead deadline with no confirmation the user even read the notice is in order, no? These sort of deletion threats in lieu of a conversation is the kind of thing that discourages WP participants.  PЄTЄRS VЄСRUМВА ►talk  15:33, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

You are correct, Peters Vecrumba. When the uploader states that HE/SHE, THE COPYRIGHT HOLDER of this work publish it under the following license, that should erase any doubt that the uploader is claiming copyright on the work and publishing it. I strongly concur, that speedy deletion is completely inappropriate, and stuns the growth of the WikiPedia project.

The various images of mine that you listed for deletion

I have been offline from WP for a while. All of the images related to Tunbridge VT that you listed for deletion (and were subsequently removed) were taken by my wife Erin M. Gooch of Tunbridge VT - she agreed I should use them, hence my posting them with that copyright tag. How that is any more unverifiable/ reliable than relying upon a claim that I took them is beyond me. But anyway - if there is someway that they can be restored this explanation could be appended.

Do with this what you will. Mickmaguire (talk) 15:41, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

nominating images for speedy deletion

Please stop nominating the images in the Valley Entertainment Monthly article for deletion. The photo of Stanley was provided by his widow and the shots of the paper itself fall within the fair use clause of Wikipedia. Nineteen Nightmares (talk) 18:30, 8 May 2010 (UTC)Nineteen Nightmares

You have also marked several of the images I created and uploaded regarding Australian locations for deletion, which I believe contained sufficient detail on their authorship and copyright free licensing. Please desist. Some of these images I contributed over 6 years ago and are still valid for the articles that linked to them. My ability to watch my wikipedia contributions may have declined, but I still visit and contribute on an occasional basis. --Takver (talk) 05:49, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

sorry about that but your attributions were confusing, there was no way for me to guess that Tirin = www.takver.com at least not without looking at your user page and back then i went on a tagging spree, tagging anything that even appeared looked suspicions.

Help with images

Hi

I hope you can help me with the images you've flagged for deletion. It's a while since I've uploaded images to Wikipedia and I think I know what I've done wrong. Although I have put the OTRS permission, I was not able to find the 'GNU Free Documentation License' in the Licensing pull down section so didn't select anything. Is there something else that has taken it's place? If so, how do I add this to the images already created. Thanks for your help. VAwebteam (talk) 19:15, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

Pictures

You recently added a message about some pictures I uploaded for the Albany Parks & Recreation I had retrieved them from the parks departments website. They are take by memebers of the department. I cited they were government public domain with the upload process. I haven't really done the photo thing before so I am still learning the process. You stated I needed addition information to satify you on them so I added an extra line in their summory, it reads:

"This picture was retrived from and belongs to Albany Parks & Recreation by whom it was created and if public domain. http://www.cityofalbany.net/parks/parks.php"

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. —DoRD (talk) 12:52, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

As far as I can see, no such migration is possible. If a file is licensed under a specific license and nothing else, only the copyright holder can relicense it under some other license. The GFDL license migration was only possible because the text of Wikipedia was licensed under GFDL 1.2 "or any later version", which allowed the use of the new GFDL 1.3 which allowed th migration.

You recently "reviewed" the move of File:Seki Kowa Katsuyo Sampo Bernoulli numbers.png to Commons.

License and original upload log

Hi! I noticed this image for example: File:N 6th Ring Rd.jpg. The license is not exactly the same which it should be. Also there is no original upload log. If the uploadlog is not there the original upload date might be missing and that is important because of the license migration project. Therefore adding a original upload log is a fast and easy way to make sure that everything is ok.

You can add it by using http://toolserver.org/~magnus/commonshelper.php and do a "simulated transfer". Just pretend to transfer the image and when you get the text you can copy paste it to the image on commons and do the needed adjustments (like checking if the "old" description and categories is better that the ones commonshelper creates etc.) You can see an example of an edit here [5]. It is possible to import a script so you can do it with one (or two) click(s) only (User:MGA73/vector.js). --MGA73 (talk) 21:52, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

Hello, I don't see what the problem is here. I obtained the file through an FOIA request from the DEA; the DEA sent me the picture as it was in the public domain due to it being a booking photo from MCC Chicago upon their arrest for drug trafficking crimes. My understanding is that if it was taken by a federal employee in the course of their duties (in this case, a federal DEA agent upon their arrest in a federal case), it is public domain. Am I mistaken?? jlcoving (talk) 19:34, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

I assumed wineie is different from MSIE it certainly doesn't look like any MSIE version i know, please ask the uploader. If it is MSIE it doesn't qualify for fair use because the article is not about MSIE on wine but wine itself and there are many free screenshots of software running in wine. --IngerAlHaosului (talk) 09:25, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

I tried to ask the uploader, but the user is Brasilian and did not seem to get my point.

But you are probably right. Since IE nowadays is an integral part of Windows, it makes sense that it is reimplemented in Wine. I do not use Windows, so I did not notice it is different. Thank you for the answer.

Yes, the uploader is not likely to be the author. However, the tag you applied says no source, not unlikely source: if you wish to have the image deleted because you don't believe the source statement, you should go with WP:PUF or WP:FFD. Nyttend (talk) 12:22, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

The image of the American Serbs is now at FFD, by the way. Nyttend (talk) 12:28, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

Yes, no source for the components of the collage.I don't want it deleted i want the author to state the source for the images used, unfortunately that generic tag is the only source related tag i know.--IngerAlHaosului (talk) 12:32, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

IngerAlHaosului, I was using your Table of characters, and run into missing letter rt, which belongs to clusters. Can you please advise me how to get the svg image for it, or maybe you can add it yourself, since you alredy did a great job of adding the table. Please respond on my talk page.
