[edit] Alexandria Class cruiser

I apreciate your help in the matter, but I also forgot to mention that most of the pictures of the UC Gundam ships are either copyrighted or say something to that effect. I know of sights where you can find the pictures, but i am not sure how to get through the red tape surrounding copyrights.

The ship pictures can be found on at least to sites: [1] and [2].

P.S.-Thanks a bunch. You're the first person who has actually offered to help me instead of yelling at me to fix a problem without showing/telling me how. :-)

  • Luckily, the situtaion isn't that bad. Both of the pages that you mention seem to get their images from Mecha Anime HQ(the second site states this "Special thanks to MAHQ for all images.", but a quick comparison for the first site shows that they got their images from the same place). MAHQ allows the use of their images
Q: May I use any of your images?
A: You may not use the images we made ourselves, such as buttons and logos. We do not own the other
images (screenshots, scans), so you are free to use them on your website. We only ask that you put a
link back to us on the same page as the image...
, and since it is a reduced portion of the origional it qualifies for fair use.
I'll go ahead and put the pictures in the articles that you've created on the gundam ships, but I see that there are several versions of some of them, refits and such. If you want a different picture, or just for future knowledge, see Wikipedia:Image_use_policy and Wikipedia:Image_markup.
PS-No problem, I'm glad to help. Also, may I suggest that you register? I'm not saying that it'll change someones personality, but maybe they'd be more likely to help you if you had a talk page were they could contact you and explain things. ie, this why I'm putting this on my talk page. You don't have one and its way too long to post on the cleanup page.

Thanks a TON and them some! You rock! ;-) P.S. I will register at some point this week. It sounds like a good idea.

Thanks for adding the great diagram! ··gracefool |☺ 03:34, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Orbiter (sim)

Please note that Orbiter (sim) has been deleted as requested.

Have a nice day. :-)
-- PFHLai 08:08, 2004 Aug 29 (UTC) I like your recent contribution to this article a lot. Keep up the good work! :-) 0.39 16:40, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image:BerlinerDisc2.jpg

It seems to have the GFDL tag on it now, so I don't think there's any need to add it myself. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith (talk)]] 21:46, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Image:Moskvitch 403.jpg

It is scan from an old soviet magazine 'za ruliom'

There wasn't anything like copyright in Soviet Union.

[edit] RuneScape Splitting

Now that I think about it, it seems like a good idea. Keeps everything organized and if the reader is really interested they can check out the relevant fork article. I won't oppose any more splitting, but I'll offer an idea: RuneScape skills, RuneScape quests, RuneScape locations (I notice we have an Al Kharid article), RuneScape monsters, and RuneScape runes. I still want to copyedit the rest of the article, so I'm not going to do any splitting till I'm done with that, but have fun with it. PMC 21:46, 27 Dec 2004 (UTC)

  • Nah, it's all good. I'm more copyediting and cleaning up than rewriting, really...I think we should move Al Kharid's info into RS Locations and leave a redirect and do the same to Kalphite Queen and RS Monsters. Runes of Runescape should probably be moved, in fact, I'll go do that right now. Feel free to split the article as you wish, I trust your judgement. PMC 04:49, 28 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Anons and Runescape

Wow, some anon just basically nuked the entire RuneScape page. I want to restore it, but I'm not sure if I should. It was a well-intentioned edit, I think, but it basically took the page to pieces. Should I revert, in your opinion? PMC 20:35, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)

  • Mmmm...I think, being that he's an anon, I'll revert with a notice on the talk page. If anyone objects, they can do so there. PMC 08:02, 1 Jan 2005 (UTC)
    • Lol! That is amusing. I've left a note on his talk page asking him first to not do that again and second if he has objections to please come to my Talk or the Runescape talk. Seems the best I can do. PMC 01:07, 3 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Pieta picture

I'm confused as to what tag to use for Image:Michelangelo.pieta.650pix.jpg. The site says that noncommercial use permission is given, but also says that the contents are either public domain or fair use. Of course the latter would be better, but I'm not sure if it refers to the images themselves or the subjects

Sorry, but I read and re-read these copyright notices on web sites and never understand them. So I'm going to have to seem unfriendly and say that I haven't a clue! Sorry I can't be more helpful, Best Wishes - Adrian Pingstone 17:40, 1 Jan 2005 (UTC)
I think that by "contents" they're referring to the statues or other subjects. The pictures appear to be under a noncommercial use policy, which is not allowed on Wikipedia as per Jimbo's decree. Sorry. --Slowking Man 04:31, Jan 21, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Combination lock

Thanks for the link on combination locks! I already had a general understanding of how they worked, but that document will make a very good reference. I started work on a 3D model a while back; I just need to finish it sometime :-) -- Wapcaplet 22:35, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)


[edit] Edge Map

I found the copyright information by examining the books in which the map appears, and found this:Text (the book) and illustrations copyright 1999 by Paul Stewart and Chris Riddell. I am greatly concerned that this image is copyrighted, and hope for a brief further investigation or immediate deletion. I apologize for the possible violation, and hope this problem can be fixed ASAP. -Raysearch91

[edit] More Anon Trouble

(I apologize in advance if this doesn't make much coherent sense, I'm sort of ill...) What would make it a copyvio, as opposed to just copied text? Not sure that it matters, RuneScape has been reverted. The other pages still have the copied text, though. Maybe we could just glean what's useful and rewrite it completely, so as to no longer be copied text? [[User:Premeditated Chaos|User:Premeditated Chaos/Sig]] 06:47, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] New outline for RuneScape

The article as it stands is disorganized beyond belief. I'd like to reorganize it a lot. Here's what I'm thinking, I'd appreciate some feedback.

  • (Intro, Runescape template)
  • RuneScape History
    • Timeline
    • Version history
    • New features in RS2
  • Game Overview (blurb here about the game and how it works, including why people play - quests, melee, skills, etc)
    • Tutorial Island and newbies (Maybe doesn't need own section, but I think it merits one)
    • Game economy
    • Combat
      • Melee
      • Ranged
      • Magic
    • Wilderness/PKing
    • Clans
  • Events/Unique things (Needs a better title, but I'm blank right now)
    • Quests
    • Random Events
    • Mini-Games
    • Duel Arena (If this isn't a mini-game, not sure, I'm not a member)
  • Credits
  • External Links
    • Official-ish sites (Jagex.com, etc)
    • Notable fansites (Anything...big. =P)

[[User:Premeditated Chaos|User:Premeditated Chaos/Sig]] 00:37, 29 Jan 2005 (UTC)

I like the name "Features". History I can move after the Overview, although I prefer it before. As for the clans thing, I meant a little blurb about clans in general (ex. "Some people form clans. Clans are...") as opposed to a list of clans. As for the template, that's cool, I can see your logic.
It'll take me a bit to rewrite it, so I'm going to do it offline. If you've got any other ideas, tidbits, whatever...drop 'em at my Talk, I love help. [[User:Premeditated Chaos|User:Premeditated Chaos/Sig]] 06:17, 29 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Template

I have a question for you: How do you edit a templete? TomStar81 05:54, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Seeking Guidance

Not to terribly long ago an anon -one 132.205.45.148- began making radical changes to the Cosmic Era vessels. He got my attention when he tried to combine every Cosmic Era ship into one page called "Cosmic Era vessels". After discussing the matter with Stan Shebs and Iceberg3k, we decided to put the page up for deletion. The result of the vote was delete, but the anon tagged all of the CE era ships with a copywrite voilation announcement.

The pictures of the ships originated from the same sight that you got the Universal Century ships from, therefore they should not be in voilation- I think. To be absolutly sure, I'm looking for a second opinion. What do you think ? TomStar81 06:31, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)

  • The pictures are on different pages, but all of those pages link to the templete {Template:Cosmic Era ship classes}. Ironically, you uploaded at least 1 of the pictures in question. TomStar81 23:21, 22 Feb 2005 (UTC)
    • I went looking for an email adress to ask about the images and stumbled across an interesting note in the faq section:

Q: Would you send me files? A: Sorry, we don't have time to send anyone files. If you want images that are on the site, feel free to take them. If you're asking for reviews, don't even bother.

Its the images part that caught my attention; they don't seem to be limiting the kinds of pictures you can take of the site. Should I still email them, or should I plug this in with the image tag already in place on the articles? TomStar81 03:03, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)

      • Thanks. Armed with this new information, I am now off to fight for the right to display the images on this site. As a fair warning, I am going to cite the Alexandria class cruiser discussion that we had just before I joined. Since that was the basis for labling the UC ships- and subsequently the CE ships- as fairuse images I intend to point out that fairuse has already been established. Thanks for all of your help ;-) TomStar81 05:04, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Return of the Untagged Image project

You were kind enough to contribute to the Wikipedia:Untagged images project; I beg to draw your attention to part 2 of the project - there are about 12,000 more images in need of tagging. Any assistance you could provide would be most welcome. thanks --Tagishsimon (talk)

[edit] The Jagic pic

Sorry for a belated answer (I overlooked your message browsing thru some wiki pages in haste ;^)). The Jagic pic is scanned- I scanned it from a book containing his selected articles. The book is from 1970s ( I don't recall exactly) and this picture was the only image in the book. Hope it helps. Best Mir Harven 08:15, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Hello; the source for Jagić pic is: Vatroslav Jagić: Rasprave, članci i sjećanja/Discourses, articles and reminiscences, Zagreb, MH, 1963. Best Mir Harven 19:33, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] The Commons

Another Question for you: Does one have to be a member of the Commons in order to upload pictures to it, or can we upload pictures to the commons directly from the upload page on Wikipedia? TomStar81 05:50, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image:1turkish lira coin back.jpg listed for deletion

[edit] Deleted page "Pipe Mania"

A page you created, or image you uploaded, Pipe Mania, has been deleted in accordance with our deletion policy. In particular, it meets the one or more criteria for speedy deletion; the relevant criterion is:

Unremarkable people, groups, companies and web content. An article about a real person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content that does not assert the importance or significance of its subject.

Wikipedia has certain standards for inclusion that all articles must meet. Certain types of article must establish the notability of their subject by asserting its importance or significance. Additionally, since Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, content inappropriate for an encyclopedia, or content that would be more suited to somewhere else (such as a directory or social networking website) is not acceptable. See What Wikipedia is not for the relevant policy.

You are welcome to contribute content which complies with our content policies and any applicable notability guidelines. However, please do not simply re-create the page with the same content; it will be deleted again and may be protected from re-creation. You may also wish to read our introduction to editing and guide to writing your first article. If you have any questions, please contact an administrator for assistance. Thank you – Gurch 20:42, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi, sorry for leaving this rather confusing message. I've looked through the deleted history and you're right, a redirect is necessary; I have created one. What seemed to have happened was that people had merged, or at least removed, most of the content, leaving behind only a small amount that didn't make sense on its own. Had I looked more closely at the history it would have been clear that a merge was being done. Thanks for pointing it out – Gurch 01:29, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
