Welcome to Wikipedia, comrade! Always good to see more Kiwi Marxists :D. Cheers, Hauser 07:29, 13 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Do you know Simon Oosterman? I'm looking for more information to his page. I found that he claims to be a Communist AND an Anarchist? Does that mean he is also a Marxist? Meiom 12:41, 1 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

I've met him once or twice, but couldn't give you any more information that whats currently in the article. (it wouldn't be verifiable anyway) On the Communist and Anarchist thing I guess maybe hes an anarcho-communist (see Anarcho-communism) although I thought he was an Anarcho-syndicalist (see Anarcho-syndicalism) Pretty sure hes not a Marxist though.

Hey. Already got started on an article; 2006 Progressive Enterprises Lock-out, probably the biggest industrial dispute in New Zealand this decade, which is currently happening, went to the picket lines this morning :-)

Hi I moved it to 2006 Progressive Enterprises dispute because that is the proper capitalisation - Dispute is not a proper noun. cheers - Drstuey 09:26, 12 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

Possibly unfree Image:Aucklandprogressivepicket.jpg edit

An image that you uploaded or altered, Image:Aucklandprogressivepicket.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree images because its copyright status is disputed.

License tagging for Image:Shelfgaps.jpg edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Shelfgaps.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 10:06, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:AmberReeves.jpg edit

Thanks for uploading Image:AmberReeves.jpg. The image description page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 any fair use images lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Image:SujataBhatt.jpg edit

Thanks for uploading Image:SujataBhatt.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Progressissue2.jpg) edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Progressissue2.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not.

Replaceable fair use Image:JasonGunn.jpg edit

 
Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:JasonGunn.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information.

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.

Image:Antiterrorraidprotest.jpg edit

Hello. I was just about to upload the above image to Commons, so that it could be correctly sorted (images should in fact all be on Commons, which is a sister project of Wikipedia, unless they are used under a Fair use license.

The reason why I am asking here is that you used the CC-BY-3.0 license (which is okay on Commons, and specifically allows commercial re-use) but in your text re the image content, you noted that you were only releasing it for non-commercial use (which is inconsistent with the license, and also, makes the image unable to be uploaded on Commons).

To explain - Commons needs all images to be used commercially, because the images should be useful for all sorts of future uses. This includes future re-use by an artist who wants to use them for an artwork which he then sells just as well as for a website which uses your image to illustrate, for example, a pay-per-click article (currently, there are already Wikipedia mirrors out there which use advertising on their websites, making the images a commercial use).

So could you please decide whether you want to make your image(s) available for commercial use as well? If not, please change the license. Thanks for your contributions, cheers - and happy editing. Ingolfson 09:56, 20 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

The image is from an Indymedia article where it was under a creative commons licence that doesn't allow commerical use, you may be able to use it under a different licence if you ask the author on the page its from Lossenelin 19:17, 20 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

File copyright problem with File:Caponata.jpg edit

 
File Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading File:Caponata.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. ww2censor (talk) 16:49, 11 September 2009 (UTC)Reply


Disputed non-free use rationale for File:AmberReeves.jpg edit

 

Thank you for uploading File:AmberReeves.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 09:46, 2 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Antiterrorraidprotest.jpg edit

 

A tag has been placed on File:Antiterrorraidprotest.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a file licensed as "for non-commercial use only", "no derivative use", "for Wikipedia use only", or "used with permission"; and it has not been shown to comply with the limited standards for the use of non-free content. If you agree with the deletion, there is no need to do anything. If, however, you believe that this image may be retained on Wikipedia under one of the permitted conditions then:

  • state clearly the source of the image. If it has been copied from elsewhere on the web you should provide links to: the image itself, the page which uses it and the page which contains the license conditions.
  • add the relevant copyright tag and if necessary, a complete fair use rationale.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

  • make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{permission pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Minorax«¦talk¦» 04:59, 6 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

Invitation to an in-person meetup in Mohua / Golden Bay edit

 
Golden Bay Air are holding some seats for us until 21 November

Thinking about your summer break? Think about joining other Wikipedians and Wikimedians in Golden Bay / Mohua! Details are on the meetup page. There's heaps of interesting stuff to work on e.g. the oldest extant waka or New Zealand's oldest ongoing legal case. Or you may spend your time taking photos and then upload them.

Golden Bay is hard to get to and the airline flying into Tākaka uses small planes, so we are holding some seats from and to Wellington and we are offering attendees a $200 travel subsidy to help with costs.

Be in touch with Schwede66 if this event interests you and you'd like to discuss logistics. Schwede66 09:14, 13 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
