[edit] Wikiproject: countering systemic bias

Hi TreveX, I wonder if you might be able to help - I'm writing an article for openDemocracy about the Wikiproject:countering systemic bias. I'd like to get some quotes from Wikipedians about why they're involved, what they're working on and some other general issues. I wonder if you'd be willing to talk to me over email? Mine is daviddariusbijan AT yahoo.co.uk

Thanks,

David

[edit] New anti-Semitism

Thank you for your comments. I'm actually hoping to avoid an RFC, but I suppose we'll have to see how things turn out. CJCurrie 20:18, 14 April 2006 (UTC) 86.133.23.227 18:41, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New AS

Hi Trev, in case my recent response to you on NAS gets lost, I'm copying it here. Cheers, SlimVirgin ^(talk) 23:55, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

TreveX, I think you make some good points above, but there's no hope of getting anything intelligent into this article while CJC and Homey are disrupting the editing. Therefore, I suggest we wait until they get bored, which I'm hoping they will soon, and then I can look for good sources to back up what you're saying. The intro does (or did when I last checked) stress that it's associated with the left, but of course that keeps being deleted or weakened. Your point about the transfer from religious to secular anti-Semitism is an interesting one; I'm not sure I've ever seen a source say it as explicitly as that, but I will look. Same with the transfer of Christian to Muslim anti-Semitism: I believe Bernard Lewis made a similar point, but it might be too complicated for the intro. And I agree with you that the new mutated out of the old, as Sacks said.

However, I don't believe there's any point in doing serious research with the page being attacked by people who don't want to do any reading. SlimVirgin ^(talk) 23:54, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mediation

Hi TreveX, is there a clear will for mediation amongst the parties on NAS? I'm considering taking the case, but it appears very complicated and is not an area in which I have expertise (which can be good or bad). Having others' buy-in will be key. -- Joebeone (Talk) 17:06, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Hi. Unless I hear from you, we will consider your mediation case at the mediation cabal abandoned by the submitter. best, -- Joebeone (Talk) 15:45, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

Ah, thanks for the reply clearing up the status of the mediation case mentioned above. I'll close it out but please feel free to reopen the case if at a later time the parties involved would find mediation useful. -- Joebeone (Talk) 17:54, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] image

Hi TreveX, I am (ever so slowly) trying to break out sub-pages for Lord's Resistance Army. While doing so, I noticed that the fair use rationale for Image:NightCommuters.jpg includes that there are no public domain images of night commuters, which is not entirely true as I found some from USAID. I was thinking of deleting it to remove any question of image use from the article, but was wondering what your take on it is? Cheers, BanyanTree 14:02, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Good Articles

Hi. Thanks for the taking the time to review 1987 (What the Fuck Is Going On?), and I'm glad you found it up to scratch. Cheers. --kingboyk 15:41, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cotton Town images

It's always annoyed me that LET can claim copyright on digitised versions of those images... I thought to get copyright you had to modify it in some way, and that just digitising something didn't count. Anyway, can we use the public domain template on this, this and this too? - Motor (talk) 15:43, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

Anything 70-years after publication/death of author (if author known) is public domain. The digitizations are also in the public domain in the United States see Bridgeman Art Library v. Corel Corp.. Crucially, this is where Wikimedia Foundation is incorporated.

Even though this case was brought in the States, the ruling stated that: While the Court's conclusion as to the law governing copyrightability renders the point moot, the Court is persuaded that plaintiff's copyright claim would fail even if the governing law were that of the United Kingdom.[1]

[edit] Thank you so much!!

TreveX, you have been of great help to me in your work on Wikipedia's Uganda articles. I am now writing my term paper on Uganda, and have seen its articles grow, over the course of the year (October-Current), and that is of significant help for me. I edit the articles too, with the knowledge and sources I've gained, but most of the editing will probably occur after I finish. Heh. -- Mac Davis] ⌇☢ ญƛ. 01:59, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] CfD regarding cities and towns in Uganda

Hello TreveX, long time. You may be interested in the CfD regarding Category:Cities in Uganda and Category:Towns in Uganda that I have suggested. See here. I reckon Category:Cities and towns in Uganda is fine. I did not dare to unilaterally delete them, so I took it to CfD just in case there are objections. --Ezeu 17:53, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] GA tag to move?

Since I've split of History of Solidarity from Solidarity, I think that we may need to move the GA tag to the History... article. The main Solidarity article is rather incomplete (and was so before, but it was hidden by the immense history section (which is pretty good and I intend to PR and FAC soon).--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus ^Talk 02:51, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:BBCMasterCompact.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:BBCMasterCompact.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may 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. —Bkell (talk) 17:43, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:BankOfUganda.jpg

Hello TreveX, could you provide your source for the Image:BankOfUganda.jpg? I would like to move the image to the Commons, but without a source for the PD the image won't stay on Commons for long. Thanks --::Slomox:: >< 23:18, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

You've seen this? --::Slomox:: >< 19:11, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

Ah, okay, I now have seen, that you changed the image description. All right then. --::Slomox:: >< 19:13, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:JackStrawFCO.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:JackStrawFCO.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ed g2s • talk 22:24, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

You need to either show that the image is freely licensed (it probably isn't), or make a claim to use the image under Fair Use, as is our image policy. Thanks, ed g2s • talk 00:01, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:AggreyAwori.jpg

<snip> Thanks for uploading Image:AggreyAwori.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation 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.. Cheers, :) Dlohcierekim 21:46, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Please find new fair use rationale on the the image description page. TreveX^talk 14:53, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:MutesaII.jpg

Hello, i've translated the article on Mutesa II for the french wiki and also uploaded the picture Image:MutesaII.jpg. But i've been asked that the picture can be deleted on the french wikipedia for no information about the origin of this picture and possible copyright trouble (the "french wikipedian picture police" not seem to be satisfied only the public domain mention ;-) . Could you help me ? Thanks TCY

[edit] Image:BBCMasterCompact.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:BBCMasterCompact.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. – Quadell ^{(talk) (random)} 18:15, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
