Hi Gh, welcome to Wikipedia. I like the article you've written at Alfréd Hajós, it's nice to see a stub turn into a good article. -- Ams80 15:47 May 12, 2003 (UTC)

Hi. It's good to see another wikipedian with an interest in contributing to the early jazz articles. Those are some nice photos you've added. Can you please give sources on where they're from? Thanks. Cheers, -- Infrogmation 15:41, 18 Mar 2004 (UTC)

It looks to me like you've been yoinking the photos from http://www.redhotjazz.com/ . Do you have permission from Scott Alexander, the site's webmaster, or are the images free for the taking? If we can use them, that would be great. Please clarify the status of the photos, or wikipedia may need to remove them. -- Infrogmation 17:27, 18 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Hi. There are no copyright information of the pictures in Scott Alexander's site, so I assume they are public domain. There are a little copyright info in http://www.redhotjazz.com/info.html, but it mainly covers the .ram files. For further info you must reach Scott Alexander.
Checking into the status of photos you upload to wikipedia is YOUR responsibility, and should be done before adding them to articles. See Wikipedia:Copyrights for more info and discussion. Sorry to be hardnosed about such matters with you (there are lots of fine photos I'd like to grab copies of for here myself) but unauthorized use of copyrighted material can open wikipedia up to problems such as potential legal action. Please take such matters seriously. Cheers, -- Infrogmation 18:21, 23 Mar 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Michael Johnson (athlete)

Hi Gh, good work on expanding the above article, but I'm interested to know why you've removed the minutes/seconds references in his world record times. I don't want to just revert, as I've done this once before -- I thought I'd check with you first to see if you had a good reason for doing this. --Lancevortex 13:24, 14 Jul 2004 (UTC)

I'll have a look at some other athletics articles and add the mins/secs if that seems to be the way to do it. --Lancevortex 17:47, 14 Jul 2004 (UTC)
It seems that Wikipedia practice (at least within the Athletics article) is to put "s" where the time is less than 1 minute, but not put any units when the record is more than 1 minute, so that's what I've done on the Michael Johnson page. --Lancevortex 10:41, 15 Jul 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Clark.jpg

I noticed you uploaded a picture of Wesley Clark, and that you tagged it as being in the public domain. I was hoping you could supply a source. Don't mean to be overly suspicious, but it could really help clear things up. Thanks. [[User:Meelar|Meelar (talk)]] 19:15, Sep 30, 2004 (UTC)

Sorry about the mistake. Yours, [[User:Meelar|Meelar (talk)]] 21:23, Sep 30, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Lewis Stone pic

Thanks for uploading Image:Lewis Stone.jpg. I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag. Could you add one to let us know its copyright status? (You can use {{gfdl}} if you release it under the GFDL, or {{fairuse}} if you claim fair use, etc.) Thanks so much, – Quadell (talk) (help)[[]] 03:18, Oct 11, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright

Hi! Thanks for uploading Image:Otto Stern.jpg. I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag. Could you add one to let us know its copyright status? (You can use {{gfdl}} if you release it under the GFDL, or {{fairuse}} if you claim fair use, etc.) If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know where you got the images and I'll tag them for you. Thanks so much, Edwinstearns 20:53, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[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 1000 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:Hajos.jpg

Thank you for uploading Image:Hajos.jpg. Please leave a note on that page about where you got the image or whether you made it yourself because of copyright law. If you have any questions, just leave a message on my talk page. --Ellmist 13:24, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Olympic athletes

Thanks for the help in expanding those stubs. Where are you getting the information (so I can put in a little more than just what I get off the official reports)? Thanks. -- Jonel | Speak 17:04, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

My Google searches tend not to garner much useful information for people that far back. I tend to get either WP mirrors or completely unrelated people on genealogy sites. Is there a specific site that you use for the birth/death dates?
As a side note, sorry about the Hanns Braun mess. Olympic.org lists his name as "Hans" and I didn't perform anywhere near a thorough enough check before making the changes. Think I have everything back to Hanns now.
What's your source for Wiesner being part of the medley relay team? The 1908 official report lists Racz and while I'm certainly prepared to believe that could be in error, I would like to have a source for any contradicting information. Thanks! -- Jonel | Speak 15:33, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Excellent. Thanks for all the links (Herman's site is quite impressive!). -- Jonel | Speak 16:07, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for providing the death date for Stanley Rowley! For future reference, may I ask where you found it? Punkmorten 11:33, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image Tagging Image:Joe_King_Oliver.jpg

Warning sign
This image may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Joe_King_Oliver.jpg. 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, i.e., 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 believe the image qualifies as fair use, please read 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 images, please check 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. Thank you. --OrphanBot 05:07, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Clark.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).

[edit] Beaudoin

Hey! Great work on finding the full names of Olympic athletes!

Do you know if E. Baudoin and Beaudoin, Jr. are the same person? -- Jonel | Speak 23:42, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Sidney Hatch.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Sidney Hatch.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. 14:08, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Johnny Dodds.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Johnny Dodds.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self-no-disclaimers}} 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 tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 14:31, 14 March 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rossrs 14:31, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
