Have a great day :) -Ladybirdintheuk 08:02, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use?

Hi. I noticed that on Image:Range of a Traditional Sheng.png, you tagged it as {{fairuse}}. If you generated this yourself, using that program, I believe you own the rights to it. As such, would you object to licensing it under the GFDL, or releasing it into the public domain?

Thanks, Shimgray | talk | 01:07, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

I don't deal with images in Wikipedia much, but at the point of upload I thought since the content was exact, just reproduced so that it's clearer, it's fair use. I won't object to releasing it into the public domain if I could. So rights to reproduce images normally become mine? Thanks. —Goh wz 22:22, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

If you created it, and it's not a derivative work of someone else's material (ie, you copied it, or copied it and modified bits), you have copyright over it and all rights relating to that - you can license it however you choose.

In this case, it might seem like you just copied the image linked to, creating a derivative work. However, under US copyright law - which is the important one for publishing material on Wikipedia - you can't copyright basic factual information (Feist v. Rural). I strongly suspect that something so simple as "a list of the notes a musical instrument can generate" is basic factual information - there's no creativity in putting those notes together like that.

If it were an actual piece of music, there would be copyright and creativity issues - but it's just a logical ordering of the notes, rather than an "artistic" ordering. Hope that makes sense, and thanks! (Cutting down the number of fair-use images is a slow process, but every one helps...). Shimgray | talk | 23:27, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

I've released the currently discussed image into the public domain. Thanks for your work in reducing the fair-use-image count in Wiki. —Goh wz 16:17, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

On 9 December 2006, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Singapore Dreaming, which you created. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for the smile. I'm glad you enjoyed the Caterham CSR article. Are you interested in Caterhams at all? Also, what steps should I take next to get the article rated, and possibly begin to petition for "featured article" status? Thanks, Riguy 07:19, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

You may want to try logging in at https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Special:Userlogin instead. It's a bit slower than the main server, but at least it should bypass your ISP's proxy server and the autoblocks altogether. --  Netsnipe  ►  16:14, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
