[edit] Image Tagging Image:FedraSansPro main.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:FedraSansPro main.gif. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, ie in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{gfdl}} to release it under the GFDL. If you can claim fair use use {{fairuse}}.) See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thanks so much. --cohesion | talk 03:42, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Magazine Infobox

Alex, I notice that you are about as new here as I am, but you seem to know what's going on, so I hope you can answer my question. What is holding somebody back (you, myself, anybody else) from simply making an infobox for magazines (and then adding it to the page listing infoboxes and/or implementing it in articles about various magazines)? I don't understand why the magazine infobox is just sitting there in the "proposed" section (along with all the other nice-looking proposals.) Wikipedia says this:

If you make a table for a new project, it should be placed on the Wikipedia:Infobox page when it is proposed (in the proposed section) and moved to the main list when it has been implemented.

Does anybody have the right to "implement" a userbox, or are there some requirements??? Dave Runger 00:57, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Martha Stewart

The Martha Stewart article had unnecessary date links. I removed them but the edit was reverted. Feel free to undo the revert (I will see your reply here). Regards and good luck! bobblewik 14:52, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Everyday Food Index

I noticed you make quite a few edits to the Everyday Food article. I know this probably sounds odd, but would you mind sending me an email at buhansen@gmail.com? There is something I'd like to discuss with you about the article offline. uriah923(talk) 14:47, 5 July 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Unspecified source for Image:BP01.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:BP01.gif. 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 a justification explaining 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. BigDT 17:42, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:08 cover.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:08 cover.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful.

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. feydey 12:36, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Frutiger, Gotham

Hi Alex, thanks for fixing the Frutiger specimen. And, the Gotham specimen looks great. Nice ice blue-ish color there too. I've only used that face once for a print job but like its NY voice. On my list of faces I'd like to add are Jonathan Hoefler's Requiem face, MSL Gothic now renamed Benton Gothic but developed for Martha Stewart Living magazine by Tobias Frere-Jones and Cyrus Highsmith, Architype Renner (a version of Futura with his original alternate characters and old style figures, Eric Gill's Joanna and Perpetua, and the Scala faces. Thanks again. Jim CApitol3 12:17, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Gael Towey, the Chief Creator Officer at MSLO is, I think, responsible for much of the great type in their publications. I am curious, what is Archer? The new face in Blueprint? They have some really great proprietary faces between the various publications. The weddings magazine was usn an old style serif, very sharp, sort of a Garamond. It is great. Their impact on other publications has been immense. I like the feel of Real Simple, I think Robert Valentine set up the look, it doesn't hold my imagination on content though.

[edit] Archer, Benton Sans

Hi. I wanted to let you know that Archer is scheduled for public sale in 2007. Also that Font Bureau is now calling MSL Gothic Benton Sans (not Benton Gothic). CApitol3 14:26, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

From Jonathan Hoefler. He was not sure as yet which month. I'd like to try it in a letterpress project I will be working on in August '07. Hope it's out then. CApitol3 13:22, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Marthachair.jpg

Hey Alex. There is a lively debate about use of promo photos on wikipedia. My name is Jeff and I Do not support the interpretation of WP:FU as implemented by user's like User:Chowbok. They believe that Wikipedia should be free of all promotional photos that are "replaceable with an equivalent" (i.e. an amateur photo from flickr). Their rationale is being debated in many places, and take it a step further believing that all promo photos should be deleted and let someone else deal with finding and uploading a free alternative.

And many other places I've no doubt missed.

I and many others who support use of fair use promotional photos have not been successful in changing the actions of Chowbok and rampant deletion and changing of many hundred's of useful images from Wikipedia articles continues. One good example is the Jennifer Granholm article which had a great promo photo replaced by a terrible photo. I seek to raise the profile of this issue through challenging promotional photos on high profile article's like Martha Stewart which is an article linked on the front page currently. I'm sorry, really I am, but fair use policy as implemented by Chowbok has left me with few viable options.

I invite you to join the battle for Promotional Photo usage on Wikipedia and the protection of Fair Use concepts. --Jeff 06:46, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Surveyor

Hi Alexhb. Great specimen for the Frere-Jones article. I've begun an article on Surveyor, and wondered if you would be interested in making a specimen. Thanks. CApitol3 03:26, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
