[edit] Propesting/Fauxtesting

Hi David, I see that you based your vote on Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Fauxtest on the belief that these were "widespread" or independent events. I forgot to make it clear in the deletion nomination that all these events are coordinated through a single forum on the Something Awful Forums. silsor 16:24, Nov 22, 2004 (UTC)

Ah, OK. The article gave me the impression that they were independent, but I should have paid more attention to your reasons :-)
I've changed my vote. David Johnson 16:38, 22 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Cookbook template

Thanks for the response--all the more extraordinary because you must have had to hunt for my name in the talk page's history list. It's been a few weeks now and I feel more confident (I was very new to Wiki at the time) so I'll probably bang out a template of like this over the weekend. Thanks for the encouragement. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 16:39, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Baumann article

I certainly agree that small articles are worthy of expansion, but the one in question doesn't even qualify as a substub. Take away the birth dates and you're left with Wikipedia's only three-word article.  :^) I did leave word on the user's page encouraging him to expand it. - Lucky 6.9 01:19, 10 Dec 2004 (UTC)

It may be a short and useless article, but that doesn't make it a speedy deletion candidate (at least not yet; it is listed as a proposed case). Especially since a quick check showed that the person is notable and worth having an article on. Its been there about 15 minutes and somebody has already expanded it into a substub. Give it a day and it'll probably be at least a stub. David Johnson [T|C] 01:26, 10 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Hi David,
I dont know if im getting back to you in the right place, but thanks for getting back to me. I do understand I ded add my link in too many places, but I do think that thesnookerforum.com is related very much and can be very helpful to people researching snooker, I also have other things that I can contribute to that section, is it ok if i add the link back(only in snooker section), and I also would like to add something on the new hook rest.
Regards

[edit] Some recent reversions

Hello. I am somewhat puzzled by your recent reversions of squaring the circle, parallelogram, parabola, and ruler-and-compass construction. In all four, the same anonymous editor added some external links to cut-the-knot, a fairly well-respected web site, on relevant topics. Michael Hardy 00:26, 3 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Reproductions of works of art.

Hello. See Bridgeman Art Library Ltd. v. Corel Corporation. However, although a photo of a work of art may be in the public domain, there are certain situations (I have heard) in which a company can still own the digital rights to an image, even if the image is in the public domain. I'm fuzzy on the details. I'm pretty sure it requires that every detail of the image be recorded in high quality. Sorry I'm not more help. – Quadell (talk) (help) 23:15, Jan 10, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Astley Green Colliery Museum

[Moved from my user page]
Hi David. Whilst I applaud your mission in life as stated above, it was my (although I am not shown as the author) original article on the museum, and I do feel that we are cutting off our nose to spite our face in this instance. I did realise that what I was saying was taken from the website, which was why I specifically said "taken from the website". Now all that we have is a bland statement that it is a museum and where it is, and all other info is lost. AND we now have it listed on two stub lists. I cannot believe that that is a step forward!!!

[edit] VfD

I've re-written Algiers Agreement. It probably needs more work as this is not a subject about which I know a great deal, but it is now a completely different article. You may wish to consider withdrawing your nomination. (Or not, if you think it stinks.) Ground Zero 20:45, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] What's the deal?

It was my understanding that all such images predating a certain period were in the public domain. Further, rather than clutter my talk page with all that stuff, why not simply direct me to a link with the necessary info.? deeceevoice 23:33, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Response to your comments

Hi David,

I appreciate the feedback. I am a rookie here, so my apologies if I have erred in any way. A comment and a question.

1- Not sure why you are calling this a hoax? Canadian media has apparently scoped it out and confirmed that this girl exists and that the incident occured. I added some cites to my talk page to back up that I am not trying to pull anything over on anyone. This was a legitimate occurrence.

2- Regarding the photo, I created the uploaded photo by modifying existing photos that appeared on personal websites and as such, were I believe fair use. I took the photos, modified them, and posted. Am I not ok doing this? if I am, how do I properly caption the photo so that I do not have it removed in 7 days?

Thanks

[edit] WFS Loco (Permission to use)

I contacted the owner of the image to request the full permission you mentioned about. He should be writing back to me within a day. Rhallanger 21:01, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

Hi David,

Thanks for your help. I uploaded new images, this time in their original state. The links to the source websites were provided upon upload, but here they are anyway.

Hi David,
Yes, that image is surplus and can be deleted. I will edit the Pasqualoni image. —the preceding unsigned comment is by Tokyojoe2002 (talk • contribs)

[edit] Image twubbles

Dealing with your post on my talk page; my uploaded pictures were made by myself. I could provide the URLs if you would like. Update: I'd just like to thank you for acting quickly; I wouldn't want any negative points on me just yet. --Master of Puppets 01:19, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Copyright help?

Hello, you notified me that the file I uploaded, [Image:Banner.gif] needed a more accurate copyright tag. Two things I need to ask.

1. I'm not sure what tag to give it. I'm finding the wikipedia's tag system rather complicated, and can't find a proper one for my image. I made the image myself, so am I limited to the four tags listed under "for image creators"? The only one that I fully understand is No Rights Reserved, and I guess I could probably use that for mine, but what if I didn't want people using my image and claiming it as theirs?

2. I realized that maybe I should pick a more specific name for it, instead of Banner.gif, since someone else uploaded a picture with the same name, and changed the image to theirs on my user page. I want to change it to a more unique name. Is there a way to delete my image from banner.gif so I can try again?

Thank you, Fwahobadagadz

[edit] Larsmeister's images

Hi David Thanks for noticing my B Battery token jpg.I am trying to figure out how to submit stuff to Wikipedia and this was my first day attempting to do this. The picture is of a token I scanned from my collection.I figure since the token is over 100 years old it doesn't have a copyright to its depiction.Regards Larry —the preceding unsigned comment is by Larsmeister (talk • contribs)

[edit] Updated images.

Hello David. I have uploaded similar images and licenced them to a GNU Free Documentation License. Again, the the new images I have taken myself, which I have stated in the summary. The new images are now on the Dublin Airport and Achill Island pages. Those non-licenced old images can be deleted (I don't actually know how to delete an image). By Xen_1986.

Thanks for the tip off. I thought that I had selected an option during the upload process, but obviously not.

[edit] Frankie J. picture

Hi David! First off, thanks for being so polite with your comments about the file I uploaded, some people on here can be very rude, but you're not one of them, thank Heaven! When I looked at my contributions, there was a URL with it. I re-uploaded it, and when it asked for the licensing, I put it on "Press release photo." I hope that's OK, since it came from Oyemag and I assume a picture taken for a magazine would be a press release photo, but if I am wrong, please let me know, I will try again. Once again, thankyou for pointing out my mistake and being so polite and dignified about it. Have a great day! --WikiFiend90 05:26, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Hi David! Thanks for the information, and thanks so much for re-tagging it for me. Next time I upload an image I'll be sure to tag it. I've figured out that most of the images I find (I usually Google for images when I need one for an article on here) would be under fair use, thanks to your explanation. Thankyou so much for helping me clear all this up without jumping down this Wikinewbie's throat, hehe. Have a great day! :-) --WikiFiend90 04:03, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] VT Frost Heaves

David, thanks for putting the copyright logo disclaimer on the image page. Just FYI, the image was emailed to me by the team's owner for the purpose of putting on the WP page about the team. That seems like a pretty good license for use (and I have saved the email). FrostHeaves 00:21, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] ukcmg

Hello David, are you able to replace the UK Computer Measurement Group page text with UK_Computer_Measurement_Group/Temp, which is not subject to copywrite. Although the copywrite notice says 'Unless the copyright status of the previous content is clarified, this page will be deleted one week after its listing. If a new article has been written, it will replace this message.' It has been over a weeek. Thanks Paul Seaton-Smith 11:04, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] incorrect vandalism

hi there

i've just entered the wikipedia site and i have received a message from you, saying that i have been calling every article "controversial" or something. i haven't actually logged-on to the site at this point, so it was all based around my IP address.

but, my point is that i've never hardly changed any articles at all. ive purposely not logged-on to write this message so that you can check my IP address. im quite confused, and annoyed, because it said i could be banned from wikipedia.

thanks in advance,

[edit] The current nature of your contributions

Looking through your recent contributions, it doesn't look like you still "work on the external links correction process and pursue people who upload images with no copyright tags," as the lede of your user page indicates. This is understandable, given the bots and semi-bots that now do those things, but your user page probably needs updating. It's the only non-archive page that still links to the antiquated User:Kate/extlinks. NeonMerlin 06:29, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] re sipgate

This article was tagged for speedy deletion, I've moved it to WP:PROD, but there's nothing in the article as it stands to indicate that the entity meets WP:CORP. You have five days to add such citations, if they exist, and remove the PROD tag if you wish. Herostratus 05:15, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Antonio Masip Hidalgo.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Antonio Masip Hidalgo.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 that provides substantially the same information. 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}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

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. Bob 01:12, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
