[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] Nice work

I noticed you doing the helpful, but tedious, work of disambiguating Acholi people through a wide swathe of my watchlist. Thanks! - BanyanTree 16:19, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] License

Hello. Where's this picture's source? Can I upload to Japanese Wikipedia? --Sheynhertz-Unbayg 04:58, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)

At least {{PD-old-70}} should apply, I believe /Ktotam 07:43, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Mendele Mocher Sforim

you said:

Actually, we DO need to link day/month part of day even if it's O.S.: That's the only way the wiki is smart enough to choose between US and UK style

could you please elaborate? why would someone want to have a link for O.S. date? e.g. December 21 refers to "the 355th day of the year in the Gregorian Calendar"; moreover, all the dates listed on this page refer to the N.S. (Gregorian) dates. Ktotam 02:49, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Sure. We do this not to get the (irrelevant) link, but because of a side effect. In their Preferences, a user can indicate their preferred style of date formatting. It's only smart enough to do this if the month/day part is wikified. Sometimes, as in this case, annoying, but a long-established approach to the problem. There should probably be a better way to do this, but no one has come up with one, and I could hardly argue that it would be a particularly high priority for the developers. -- Jmabel | Talk 04:39, Apr 19, 2005 (UTC)
Someone just raised this matter (although not specific to O.S.) on the Village Pump. -- Jmabel | Talk 06:34, Apr 19, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Dostoevsky picture

I saw that you uploaded this painting of Dostoevsky to Wikipedia a long time ago. It's a featured picture, and deserves to be, but today's featured pictures are a lot bigger and have higher resolution than those of 2004 - so I'm wondering, where did you get that picture from, and is it possible to upload a bigger image? The best I can find on Google images is this, which is a lot uglier, IMO, than the scan you uploaded... zafiroblue05 | Talk 01:34, 26 March 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Image:Bermet.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Bermet.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}}
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

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. Sherool (talk) 15:40, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

You are supposed to provide your reasoning for why a free licensed photo of this person can not be aquiered, not simply re-upload it after beeing deleted. Also don't revert "no rationale" and simmilar tags without actualy providing the reqired information, it won't make the problem go away, please see here if you are unsure what a fair use rationale is. Thanks. --Sherool (talk) 13:54, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Akayev.jpg

Hello Ktotam, I did not understand the problem with that image. The image was uploaded before July 13, 2006, but the uploader was notified on December 3, 2006. You place {{Replaceable fair use disputed}} without explaining the reason for the same. So it was being deleted on December 12, 2006. I do not seek any problem with the process. You should have given the proper reasoning on the talk page why it should not have been deleted. Please read Fair use criteria as well. Regards, Shyam (T/C) 18:20, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
