[edit] Tacoma Narrows Bridge photo

That's hilarious, you went and took the picture the day after I went pretty far out of my way for the same reason. This could have been avoided had you read and responded to the talk page about this. Also, I'm curious why you decided to copyright with unconditional release rather than the GFDL or public domain ? I guess I will still upload my (full sized) images to the Commons.

Hmm, total coincidence! I never knew anyone had asked for a picture, and I never even saw that talk page until you pointed it out just now -- it was just a whim. I almost got the shot the day before when you did, but I was running short on time. I'll be curious if you got a better one -- I was disappointed with the poor opportunities for a good shot. The Official Viewing Area didn't offer all that great a view, I thought.
As for copyrights, I just didn't care. No way anyone is going to profit from the picture I took, so I wasn't worried, and I didn't try to figure out the different nuances. Mlouns 00:39, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
I just changed licensing to GNU-style. Mlouns 09:06, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Human sacrifice additions to Ancient Rome

Dunno if you're still tracking that article (and its Talk page), but your instincts were good ones. I usually don't get hooked in by these stupidities, but did this time.... And despite my website, I'm the last person to defend the Romans — horrible cruel people — which I think is what underlies our semi-anonymous friend's tone. Best, Bill 15:46, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

I was alerted by a couple odd things: (1) He edited anonymously (2) He added a few big paragraphs all at once (3) His English in the comments was not nearly at the level of the added text. The charges of bias make it look even weirder. I think the way this is resolving looks reasonable. BTW, I really like your LacusCurtius site. Mlouns 03:31, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:P6180204.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:P6180204.JPG. Wikipedia gets hundreds of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 05:05, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
