[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] Image tagging

Hi. I notice that Image:Tiffany Amber Thiessen00.jpg which you uploaded has been listed on Wikipedia:Possibly unfree images. I see that you say the photo " it was printed in the magazine FHM, should bee in public domain." Could you please explain this comment? I don't see anything in the FHM article about them doing releasing their photos to the public domain, which would certainly be remarkable enough for such a commercial magazine that it should be mentioned if they do so. Thanks, -- Infrogmation 10:20, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Public domain

Wow, I just noticed the text you put on Image:Lesley Gore, French EP.jpg, "Picture found on eBay, should be of fair use when a record cover is public domain." I'm guessing that the problem might be that you don't know what "public domain" means. Take a look at that article, and fair use, Wikipedia:Copyrights and Wikipedia:Image copyright tags. You'll see, for example, that for something like this image, one might wish to claim fair use exactly because it is not public domain. In this particular case, the appropriate tag would probably be "albumcover". Please review those links before you upload any more images, and after you've gotten a better understanding of the matter you might wish to go back and edit some of your previous Wikipedia:Image description pages. I hope this helps, Cheers, -- Infrogmation 10:31, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image Tagging Image:Judy Garland02.jpg

Warning sign
This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Judy Garland02.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified 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 media 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 qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then 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 media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, 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 unsourced and untagged images 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 Image legality questions page. Thank you. Rossrs 12:03, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Kimhunter.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Kimhunter.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands 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. 09:05, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sing365

Please do not add this Web site to Wikipedia. The site is advert- and popup-laden and does not add anything to articles, both in violation of WP:EL. Thank you. RadioKirk (u|t|c) 14:23, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Playboy

Recently you added a couple names to the list of celebrities that have appeared in Playboy. On the talk page for that article it was agreed that we should limit the lists to no more than ten women per category (Film, TV, etc). Every couple of months when some celeb makes it into the magazine, people come along and add the name of that celeb in. To cut down on this happening, I've put comments into the celeb sections that read: "ATTENTION EDITORS: Please see the talk page Re: "Celebrities" before adding another name to this list." Normally the people that add names are anon's with only an IP address, so contacting them and getting a response to my question isn't going to happen. But you, a registered user, just added two names and either ignored or did not read the "ATTENTION" comment. So, what I'd like to know is: What can I do to make this more obvious? Also, did you not read it or just ignore it?

It's not a big thing, I know. But it is frustrating making the same edits to the same section of the same article every couple months and I'd like to find a way to cut down on having to do this. Thanks, Dismas|(talk) 04:15, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Dicklioncd.JPG)

Thanks for uploading Image:Dicklioncd.JPG. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free 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. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

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.
