[edit] Póvoa de Varzim

  • self-nom. with the help of Yomangani. I am re-submitting this article for FA consideration. changes: a second peer-review. Subarticles (economy of... culture of... etc.) New people pictures. It now has sub-articles (namelly parishes and districts). Featured article in the Portuguese language wikipedia for some time. It is "complete" and already used as reference by some. I Hope you like it. --Pedro 20:49, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Comment:

  • "In the coastal plain, a Roman villa was constructed, the property of a Roman family - the Euracini who mixed with the Castro people who returned to live on the plain - Villa Euracini probably developed in this way." Unclear meaning after the first hyphen (which should be a dash anyway).
  • I question our ability to accept Image:Lota da Povoa de Varzim em 1960 3.jpg and Image:Lanchapoveira.jpg under free-use licenses. They both seem to be derivative works of illustrations made too recently to be public domain. Andrew Levine 23:24, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
  • thanks for your cleaning. As for illustrations:
  • Those are azulejos, meaning they are street decorations and are seen as a craft. It is more or less like you painting your house's exterior walls. People instead of painting preferred to lay azulejos.
  • In this case, I photographed a wall. In fact, that is the harbour's north wall. Those azulejos were placed in there by the City Council. Each square is an individual peace and most of these azulejos (there are many more in that wall) are old pictures that were "transformed" into azulejos. Some pieces are removed and painted again because they are too near the beach. As far as I know, those are not eligible to be copyrighted, like Portuguese pavement. Pictures that I took are not PD, but have a commons licence.
  • But I would prefer a real picture of the boat that the city hall has to make the article more "alive". I'll see if I can get it and other old pictures to a commons licence, not PD.--Pedro 00:57, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
    • When I said "made too recently to be public domain" I was referring to the illustrations, not the photographs. Portuguese pavement is not an artistic work. The wall illustrations are. It would be as if I took a faithful photo of a painting that was copyrighted (say The Persistence of Memory) and tried to release it under a commons license. Andrew Levine 08:54, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
      • That's not the same thing, Andrew. See the pictures of the pt:Azulejo article to understand what this kind of art/craft really are and for what they are for. Although I'm not a lawyer, I doubt that they have copyright throw a photo as there are no grounds to make a law about that, azulejos are tiles and can not be put on the net or in emule, but only on a wall, a house (in the kitchen, bathroom or outside). those pictures came from a wall like this: Image:Palacio_Queluz_Corredor_Mangas1.JPG --Pedro 11:43, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Question. Pedro, why is this article a GA nominee and a FAC at the same time? --enano (Talk) 16:07, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

    • it is for weeks at GAC. There are no legal issues regarding that also. lol. let's discuss the article instead of that.-Pedro 16:26, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
      • OK, no problem with me. --enano (Talk) 16:47, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
      • The article is now a GA. And I've changed the pictures Andrew Levine talked about to better ones. BTW, noone has an opinion?! :S -Pedro 23:13, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
