[edit] Alphabetical sort

I didn't understand what you did in the Alphabetical sort in Universities and colleges categories? Sridev 14:07, 28 Jul 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Alphabetical sort

Categories will be sorted alphabetically by country name, not by first letter of category title:

For example Universities in Lithuania category Category:Universities -> Category:Universities|Lithuania

[edit] Art categories

Hi,

I noticed that you have recently been active in categorising articles in the visual arts. Can I also encourage you to join the categorisation discussion at Category talk:Art -- Solipsist 22:22, 6 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Sorry, I'm not the best specialist in Arts :-( I just added Belarusian artists category... EugeneZelenko 01:15, 7 Aug 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Ruble pictures

Per your request I deleted two Ruble pictures that you indicated where move to commons. However, they did not appear on Ruble after deletion so I am going to restore them. Can you look into the move and make whatever alterations are necessary to the Ruble article prior to requesting deletion? Thanks. - Tεxτurε 18:02, 18 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Sorry, it was my fault. I replaced images in Ruble article. --EugeneZelenko 01:26, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Battle of Orsza

Yes, of course, my bad. It must've been late and I simply confused the licenses, it should be PD, or rather {{PD-art}}. Feel free to move it to commons. [[User:Halibutt|]] 11:04, Nov 20, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Grunwald Wojciech Kossak.jpg Image

Yes, of course. :)--Emax 20:23, 20 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Of course - every pic that i uploaded :)--Emax 11:41, 23 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Spc.gif

When you want an image deleted because it is replaced by a non-identical image you should use WP:IFD, not speedy deletion. Happy wiki editing :). Regards, Thue | talk 17:17, 5 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Maps and Commons

Basically, any map I've made which doesn't contain a notice about its license is public domain — I've moved one or two such maps to Commons now. -- Vardion 05:37, 8 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Article Licensing

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

OR

Option 2
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

[edit] Licensing

It's important for all commons images to have a category both on Commons and on the wikis. This allows us to sort out images better. [[User:Neutrality|Neutrality/talk]] 02:57, Dec 21, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Fra Mauro

Hi Eugene,
As far as I know, reproductions of two-dimensional works of art older than 100 years cannot be copyright-protected in the US (Bridgeman Art Library Ltd. v. Corel Corporation), allowing for most of the images of ancient paitings that are on Wikipedia. The explanation is contained in the following Template. Thank you for any feedback. PHG 10:27, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Public license

The two-dimensional work of art depicted in this image is in the public domain in the United States and in those countries with a copyright term of life of the author plus 100 years. This photograph of the work is also in the public domain in the United States (see Bridgeman Art Library v. Corel Corp.).


[edit] Polish Złoty (PLZ)

I believe they are not copyrighted as such and there would be no problem with you scanning those as images. There are many official pages providing scans of the current Polish currency, so it should be ok. Among such sites is the site of the National Bank of Poland, the official organ of the Polish state entitled with issue of currency. Moreover, they allowed Emax to use their scans in wikipedia (details are here, in Polish) in accordance with these guidelines, so I believe there would be no problem at all. Also, you might want to take a look at this gallery. Does it answer your doubts? :) Halibutt 14:17, Apr 12, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] NowCommons versus IFD

Hi Eugene. I noticed you tag a lot of images with {{NowCommons}}, and list them on WP:IFD at the same time. Could you avoid listing on IFD, except in cases where there's some good reason to delete the image here? Maybe someday we'll get the ability to actually move images along with their revision history to the Commons. And if that never happens, well, presumably we can bulk-delete the NowCommons images at that point. Thanks, dbenbenn | talk 22:23, 21 May 2005 (UTC)

I'll add NowCommons only. --EugeneZelenko 03:34, 22 May 2005 (UTC)

Hi,

I address you as the ambassador of your wikipedia. Please notice the above project.

Thanks. Watch also the list of russians. He copied all belarusians there, when he was reverted several times here. mikka (t) 02:52, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] svislach

The policy is to use most common English name, with the exception of some obscure toponyms. Also, Lacinka is not an official Belarusian state orthography; their Latin geographical transliteration system is for a limited keyboard. So I guess we have a big job of reverting this premature "polonization". "Poliakam, liaham, panam, sobakam..." But frankly, I don't care anymore, with the exception of most idiotic cases. mikka (t) 01:38, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] stress sign?

could you explain what the need is in "stress signs" (like in "Засла́ўе")? it doesn't look ok for me since it breaks word in parts visually, and makes it unusable for those who doesn't speak Belarusian if they need, for example, copy it and paste some where. thanks --Monkbel 07:05, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

For those who want to learn more (it's encyclopedia at the end :-). People who doesn't will skip Belarusian/Russian anyway. --EugeneZelenko 13:31, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
hmmm... are you sure such pure linguistic questions as stress should be shown in encyclopaedia? It seems to me it is more a question of dictionary (wiktionary). A lot of languages have variable stress and I didn't see any to use the stress sign or smth.
Original name in encyclopaedia is included to show how to write name locally and it should not be mixed with pronunciation; pronunciation of course could be shown for those who want to learn more, but I think it should be in IPA form (for the whole word). For example, Polish use it - see Białystok and similar pages.
And - another point - what about those who want to learn more, but don't know cyrillics enough to distinguish stress sign from an usual letter? They will probably use this stressed version and will suddenly realise it goes nowhere - for example, it is unsearchable in Google. --Monkbel 14:01, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
And one more point: when I'm browsing under Windows, Firefox shows me combined letter in place of stressed letter, like á; but when I'm browsing under Linux, Firefox shows letter and stress sign separatedly, like а́. In such way it is even more unconvinient... --Monkbel 22:09, 11 October 2005 (UTC)


[edit] Commons

Hi, Eugene, I've been blocked in commons because uploading soccer logos. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. There are a lot of soccer logos uploades. I don't know what kind of license I have to use. Can you help me? (Felato). Thanks.

[edit] Geographic names

I'm looking for input from Belarusian editors about the geographical naming guidelines that we're trying to create. Would you take a look at the proposals at Wikipedia:Naming conventions/Geographic names (particularly the proposal D version 2) and then possibly leave your constructive :-) comments on the talk page ? Thanks. --Wojsyl (talk) 00:32, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Banknote file name convention

Hi, you have some absolutely beautiful Belarusian ruble images. But as a task for the Numismatics Project, the file names of banknote images have to be standardized. In particular, I would like to rename your images to the following

Belarus-1992-Bill-0.5-Obverse.jpg --> BelarusP01-50Kapeek-1992_a.jpg
Belarus-1992-Bill-100-Obverse.jpg --> BelarusP08-100Rublei-1992_a.jpg
Belarus-1994-Bill-20000-Obverse.jpg --> BelarusP13-20000Rublei-1994_a.jpg
Belarus-2000-Bill-500-Reverse.jpg --> BelarusP27-500Rublei-2000_b.jpg

I just want to get a permisson from you. This format will apply to all banknote image. You can see some examples at my user page. Thanks --Chochopk 12:14, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

I don't think it's reasonable for images already (not only mine) uploaded on Commons. You could upload them under new name, but you must replace existing one on all projects. Tools for doing this task still not ideal :-(
Better solution - to ask everybody who interesting in numismatics to upload new images under new "standard" names.
Just for you information: correct Belarusian words for our currency are "рубель/рублі/рублёў" (depend on quantity, see actual images).
EugeneZelenko 16:11, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
So I'm just wondering, did I transliterate the word correctly? Would it be rubel, rubli, and rublei? I only took 1 year of Russian and I'm sure there are differences between the 2 languages. --Chochopk 21:37, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
Should be "rubel/rubli/rublyow".
Just the idea: will be great to avoid currency name in image name at all. Number is enough. One country doesn't have 2 currencies simultaneously. At least years of issuing are different.
EugeneZelenko 06:00, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for the correction. I was using BNG method and apparently i ignored the 2 dots above "ё". I have a lot of renaming to do on my hard drive now. =) --Chochopk 00:50, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] your retagging

I reserve my judgement about your aggressive retagging of images taken by UA state news agency but since you persisted on "fairuse" tag and can't even wait for people to express their opinion on which tag better applies, could you at least take care of the fairuse tag you placed? What I mean is that the the text in this very tag says:

"To the person adding the tag: Please provide a detailed rationale explaining why this use qualifies as fair use."

Please provide such a rationale since it was you who applied this tag before another aggressive copyright checker puts the image up for deletion. Thanks, --Irpen 19:05, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Canadian Coast Guard images

When a bunch of Canadian Coast Guard images had changes to how their liscence tags were represented, indicating they might soon get deleted I spent about six hours looking for images that could be released under free liscenses. I used google to search for images of CCG vessels and aircraft that had been taken by an employee of a USA federal agency as part of his or her duties. Those images, I believe, would be in the public domain.

So, I was very surprised to see some of them being removed. And I was very surprised that I didn't receive a notice on my talk page that someone had a concern over those images. I tagged a couple of images I had concerns over the liscense. I read, in the procedure, that the person who had the concern was supposed to put a note on the uploader's talk page and a tag, in the caption field, everywhere the image was used. It looks like neither of these steps where taken.

Do you know who else was involved in the removal of these images? Do you know who should have taken the step of putting the warning tags in the caption fields? Do you know who should have taken the step of putting a warning on the uploader's talk page? Do you know why these images were removed?

I thought I was careful, and only included images that were entitled to be distributed as free. Frankly, if was a lot of work. I have been contacted by other fans of the original CCG images, from the DFO site, that were released by the DFO with too many conditions to remain on the wikipedia. I have advised them that we have to obey the rules. So, I am pretty pissed off that it looks like those who recently removed these image don't seem to have bothered to have followed the procedure. -- Geo Swan 23:55, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

All images that I deleted originate from http://www.airliners.net, where they were clearly marked as copyrighted. Users (most probably muppets) who uploaded them into Commons told lies about authorship. Copyvio tags presented during 7 - 10 days. These are reason for deletion.
I warned all users to do not do that in future.
If you want to use these images in English Wikipedia, please upload them here and use {{fair use in}}.
EugeneZelenko 14:43, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
And I know I checked all the CCG images when I listed those with questionable copyrights and those with liscences I thought were unambiguously free enough for inclusion on the wikipedia. There weren't many that were unambiguously free. The first dozen, or half dozen I listed. The bulk of the ones listed were ones I uploaded. They were all images I found that qualified for a {PD-USGov} tag of some sort, not fair use. I found them all on government sites, either attributed to a serving member of the Armed Forces, or not attributed at all. I didn't get any of them from airliner.net.
Maybe airliners.net got some {PD-USGov} images from the same sites I did?
Sorry, but I think these images are more likely to be made by Canadian persons, so what do {{PD-USGov}} have commons with that fact? --EugeneZelenko 15:28, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
I believe if you check the procedure for deleting images for yourself you will see that it requires those who are involved in the deletion of articles and images to put a warning tag in the caption field everywhere those images were used. This is absolutely necessary because, sometimes, new contributors aren't aware of the requirement to place a liscense tag, or are not familiar enough to place the correct tag. Sometimes what appears to be a copyright violation is actually an instance where the original creator of an image has decided to start contributing to the wikipedia. I believe it is absolutely essential that the procedures be followed. Images that only appear to be copyright violations, or have a liscense issue because an inexperienced contributor applied the wrong tag should not be removed, without proper warning.
You wrote that you thought it was more -likely- that images of Canadian Government vessels or Canadian government aircraft would be taken by Canadians than they would be taken by the employees of US federal agencies. Perhaps you didn't mean to say you feel authorized to remove images merely because you think it is -likely- that they are copyright violations. But that is what it looks like you were saying. It that is what you really meant I believe you are completely off-base.
Employees of American Federal agencies participated in joint scientific ventures on board Canadian vessels. Employees of American Federal agencies took pictures of Canadian vessels when they visited American ports. When wikipedia policy changes meant we shouldn't use the images from the Canadian Department of Defence or Department of Fisheries and Oceans sites, because they tried to impose a noncommercial restriction on end-users, I went looking for the limited number of instances when Americans took pictures of Canadian craft. Frankly, whatever you meant by your comment above, I think it was disrespectful to the efforts I put in to complying with the policy change.
I checked the history of my contributions during the day and a half I hunted for free images. As I mentioned above I found almost all the existing CCG images had been challenged. I listed them in a gallery, to give a heads-up to other contributors who worked on CCG articles. I also started a gallery of images with liscenses that seemed okay. There weren't that many. So I started the search I described above for additional PD images. It looks like the images you removed were previously existing images. But if I listed them it means I looked at the liscensing, didn't see an objection or see anything objectionable.
Perhaps there was something objectionable about the liscensing of those images that I missed. I believe we all have a right to expect the wikipedia policies and procedures to be carried out in a spirit of openness and transparency. Maybe, after all the work I did on those other images, I would have agreed with whatever objection you had to those images. Maybe I would have learned something by seeing the reasons you objected to the image.
-- Geo Swan 14:22, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
Or maybe your muppets uploaded nonfree images over top of the free ones I found. When you suspect something is a copyvio you are supposed to check for earlier free revisions. Did you check this with these images?
I didn't see any overwrites. --EugeneZelenko 15:28, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
Either way I think it is unfortunate that the proper procedure of putting the warning tag in the caption field whereever the images were used wasn't followed, to give those, like me, who had an interest in those images a chance to comment.
Telling me to upload them again is not acceptable, because finding those several dozen alternate free images represented a lot of work. It is not fair or reasonable to ask me to repeat that work if those involved in the deletion did not follow the procedure when I went to considerable effort to follow procedure myself.
-- Geo Swan 15:15, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
I could only suggest you to look into commons:Category:Copyvio_-_March_2006 to be prepared for new deletions. Commons is not the place for copyvio. --EugeneZelenko 15:28, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
Sorry, I don't find this an acceptable suggestion. Contributors should not be called upon to monitor the various fora where articles and images they are interested in might be listed for deletion, just in case someone decides they should be deleted. Those who delete articles and images absolutely must follow the policies and procedures. In the case of articles that requires placing an {afd} notice on the article. In the case of images there is a requirement that a warning be placed in the caption fields of all the instances of the images' use.
I went to a lot of effort to help those working on CCG articles to follow procedure and comply with image policy change. And I expect those who choose to delete articles and images to follow procedure. -- Geo Swan 14:22, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
At first users, who uploaded copyvios on Commons, didn't follow policies and procedures.
If you doesn't have time to mark pages with copyvio yourself, I don't have time too (I need to remove these images from many projects, not just English Wikipedia). Please try to understand Commons administrators too.
So, I'll not delete this stuff in future, but somebody else will definitely do so. I had notified you, so it's up to you to do something or just argue with other people.
EugeneZelenko 14:45, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
You can check for yourself. In the list of things to do when you suspect there is a problem with how an image is liscenced, right after putting a note on the uploader's talk page there is the requirement that someone put a warning tag in the caption field of every instance where the image is used. If you are only warning the uploader, then you are violating procedure. If your colleagues are only warning the uploader then they are violating procedure. It is that simple.
I don't think it matters how overworked you feel. You must follow the procedure. We get angry at vandals and copyright violators, because they don't follow the procedures. You must follow it too, no matter how inconvenient you and your colleagues find doing so. -- Geo Swan 15:41, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Trust on Wikipedia

Hello Eugene, this is Cathy from Hong Kong working on a research about trust on Wikipedia. I wonder if you would kindly contact me at researchingmedia@gmail.com? I'd like to chat with you about Wikipedia of your language. Would you kindly drop me your email or IM (Skype, MSN, AIM or ICQ)? It wouldn't take more than ten minutes, but it would help enormous for us to understand the overall trust-based social landscape of Wikipedia. Thank you!

[edit] Apology

Greetings EugeneZelenko!,

I do not understand why you wish to delete this article. It is written in proper Belorussian. Please show mercy.--Jose77 04:01, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

I consider it religious spam. Sorry, there are many other flavors of Christianity around. Why you favorite one should be presented in all Wikipedias? --EugeneZelenko 13:36, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Dear EugeneZelenko,

I hereby give my sincere apologies for creating two articles on Belarussian wikipedia in the Russian language on 7 October and 23 December last year (which were both deleted by you). I also uploaded a copyrighted image in which you later deleted. I know that you are very angry at me because of these three mischievous events. I humbly ask for your forgivesness and beg you to keep this article. --Jose77, 21:27 Thursday 22 June 2006 (UTC)

I doesn't have anything against existing of this article in be:, if somebody will expand stub (now it's only 1 sentence). Additionally it's named incorrectly. I hope somebody, who interested in Christianity will fix these problems. --EugeneZelenko 13:26, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
