[edit] Copyright problem question

Hi, I saw you around regarding copyright issues and also saw that you are a Commons admin. I hope you can help me with something. There was a listing on WP:PUI see the story here [1] of some pictures from WOWturkey, a photo forum it seems. The uploader, I guess is the webmaster or something from that site, and posted pictures from that site. But didn't asked, or did it's not really clear, permission to some or all of the photographers from that site. He now is banned, used sockpuppets etc. So I started to delete some of the pictures, but boy, there are a whole lot of them. So before I delete several hunderd of those images I'd like some more input on this. :) See also User talk:Future Perfect at Sunrise#WOWturkey images. Garion96 (talk) 20:31, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Totally forgot about this. I just realised it when this talk page kept popping up on my watchlist. Will you have any time to look at this? If not, no problem. Garion96 (talk) 00:01, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

I've looked at the WOWturkey stuff in the past, and though it looked like trouble. I guess it's time to fix it. I'll jump in. Thanks.--Gmaxwell 00:23, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Ok, that's enough confirmation for me. :) I will start deleting again soon. Garion96 (talk) 11:36, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

I think I got them all, could you have a look at Image:Esenboga International Airport.jpg for me. You are a commons admin and I am not that much at home (yet) over there. Garion96 (talk) 22:03, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Flag raising video

[edit] fair use in portals

there is currently a proposed amendment to include fair use images in the portal space at Wikipedia:Fair use/Amendment/Fair use images in portals2. I have decided to contact you because you expressed interest in this topic in the past. Please know that I am contacting all editors who partipated in discussions regarding this at WT:FUC. -ΖαππερΝαππερ ^Babel_Alexandria 22:47, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ed

It's perfectly valid to give an "update" to where the latest discussion is regarding fair use in LOEs is. Both LOEs have been the subject of edit warring with Ed at the centre, thus I feel it is my duty to give people notification of matters they have personal involvement in.

[edit] FU stuff

I agree that we are not enemies. We do have different ideas for this encyclopedia, which is no big deal. I do believe in our mission of giving information away. I don't believe using non-replaceable FU images detracts from this in any way. We were discussing image in lists of episodes, and when I brought it up, that seemed to end what the anti-FU people had to say, so I'm still unclear on what's bad about non=replaceable FU images. Anyways, I see FU images at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/March 2007. I guess they found a free cast photo for buffy. Using that image is a travesty to me. Images are for two things: identification, and illustration of text. A thumbnail of a giant cast photo didn't either of those things very well. - Peregrine Fisher 05:31, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi there,

First of all I would like to thank whoever who's resposible for uploading the 16 Waltzes by Strauss.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sixteen_Waltzes_for_piano%2C_four_hands

I've attempted downloading all of them but I could not for No. 4 and 12.

No. 4 - http://tools.wikimedia.de/~gmaxwell/jorbis/JOrbisPlayer.php?path=Brahms-waltz04.ogg&wiki=en No. 12 - http://tools.wikimedia.de/~gmaxwell/jorbis/JOrbisPlayer.php?path=Brahms-waltz12.ogg&wiki=en

They can be played perfectly fine on the browser, but when downloaded is only a 0kb file.

I hope you can rectify the problem and inform me when it's done at yaphe_sam@yahoo.com

Thank you so much again!

Sam

p/s: it would be awesome if the music score/sheet/notes were available as well. I've tried finding it over the net to no avail =(

Sam here again. I made a mistake when i said No 12 played on the browser, it doesnt:

Cheers!

[edit] Checkuser

Hi, I'm Kordas, I'm sysop at Spanish Wikipedia and Commons, I saw here you're checkuser at Commons, I need to verify if two users named Istarí Imhotep and Radagast keops are the same user because of a possible sockpuppet and images without source. Thanks a lot, Kordas 02:16, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

If they are the same user it is not clear from checkuser. --Gmaxwell 03:04, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
