[edit] License tagging for Image:Finnish Lapphund Oskar.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Finnish Lapphund Oskar.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. 18:08, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.

[edit] System Dynamics

Apdevries, I really like the new looks of the page, thanks. Even so, why did you took most of the software cited? Some of the software previously cited is actively used in the industry in order to simulate engineering processes, it is cataloged as control systems but at the end they all apply System Dynamics theory, so shouldn't this be mentioned to in the article? I'll wait your response to reload the missing software, and possibly start the comparison page. Best regards WiKimik 03:28, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, WikiMik. I deleted the list of software because it resembled and invited spamlink. Wikipedia is not supposed to be a directory, but high quality content. However, I have been reflecting on this topic over the last few days, and have the following proposal: Rather than having a simple list of external software providers, why not have a short description of each, with maybe a sample system dynamics diagram for each. In this way, the list becomes useful content, and it will hopefully raise the barrier so that spamlink becomes more difficult.
The page at http://www.vensim.com/sdmail/sdsoft.html contains an example of the minimum information that I have in mind. Apdevries 06:47, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Tom Peters.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Tom Peters.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. 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 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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Chowbok ☠ 22:36, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
