Welcome to my talk page. I'm John Paul. My name on the internet is Japee.

RMS Titanic edit

I've just undone a change you made to the RMS Titanic article. For context, I think it's useful to know how many people wer on the ship i.e., not just how many died, or how many the ship _could_ carry. I'd also prefer the "before midnight", as it's more appropriate there - the "precise" time is ship local time anyway, so the "11:40" isn't necessarily here or there. Also, it scans a bit better.

Hi - thanks for the response. You mention using "2,240" for the total on board, but other references on the page say 2,223. For now, I'm leaving it (busy today) - if you want to chase down the discrepancy, feel free to change it. Lissajous (talk) 10:42, 15 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Fair use rationale for File:Goodwinfamily.jpg edit

 

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Goodwinfamily.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file 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 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media 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. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 00:03, 9 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Lifeboat 1 edit

 

The article Lifeboat 1 has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unnecessary article (with vague title) on a topic already covered at Timeline of the sinking of the RMS Titanic#00:45 - First lifeboat lowered and List of passengers on board RMS Titanic.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.  Glenfarclas  (talk) 11:24, 29 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned non-free image File:Mariajohanna.jpg edit

 

Thanks for uploading File:Mariajohanna.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 for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

PLEASE NOTE: [[

  • I am a bot, and will therefore not be able to answer your questions.

Name of artist edit

Japee,

When you add pictures to an article, would you mind having the curiosity to look into the history of the painting or photograph you are adding & the courtesy of naming the author of the work? For instance, you added a young Marie Antoinette to her article with the caption "Young Marie Antoinette" and totally skipped the name of the artist, who happens to be Martin van Meytens. By doing some research, you could have found the reproduction of the painting, the name of the artist & the age of Marie Antoinette at the time the painting was done.

File copyright problem with File:Allison hjc2.jpg edit

 

Thank you for uploading File:Allison hjc2.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 created in your upload log.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. multichill (talk) 10:46, 2 January 2011 (UTC)Reply
