[edit] Re:Surrey
"Municipality" is the correct term because a city is a municipality. The term basically covers any type of incorporated entity (which a city is). -→Buchanan-Hermit™/?! 09:07, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
- Yeah, you're right, it was just an impulsive edit. heqs 09:09, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Hamilton Ontario
I notice that you've removed some pictures from the Hamilton wikipedia page because as you mentioned "It's not fair use to use these pictures here." Most of the images removed were logos. I went to the London, Ontario wikipedia page and they have a London Knights (of the OHL) logo posted on their wikipedia page. Is it fair use for them to use that image of their hockey team's logo there?Nhl4hamilton 11:32, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
- My understanding is that no, it is not fair use. Generally, logos should only be used in articles about the organization itself... in fact that pretty much goes for all fair use images. See Wikipedia:Fair use and fair use rationales. heqs 11:40, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

- OK Thanks Heqs, that's all I need to know.Nhl4hamilton 22:48, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Licencing of location maps for European countries
Hi. You are one of many editors having expressed a concern about the licence for David Liuzzo's maps. He already changed this for the European countries without EU-highlighting, see Commons - Template:Europe location. The creator promised to do so as well for their version with EU-highlighting, and nothing will go on as long as this may not have been taken care of. Meanwhile, in case you like to inspect the presently modified licence and wish to comment on it, please do so in the subsection Comments on the February 2007 new licence for David Liuzzo maps. Kind regards. — SomeHuman 3 Feb 2007 17:14 (UTC)
[edit] Location Maps
On the WikiProject Countries talk page, you had either explictly declared a general interest in the project, or had participated at a discussion that appears related to Location Maps for European countries.
New maps had been created by David Liuzzo, and are available for the countries of the European continent, and for countries of the European Union exist in two versions. From November 16, 2006 till January 31, 2007, a poll had tried to find a consensus for usage of 'old' or of which and where 'new' version maps. At its closing, 25 people had spoken in favor of either of the two presented usages of new versions but neither version had reached a consensus (12 and 13), and 18 had preferred old maps.
As this outcome cannot justify reverting of new maps that had become used for some countries, seconds before February 5, 2007 a survey started that will be closed at February 20, 2007 23:59:59. It should establish whether the new style maps may be applied as soon as some might become available for countries outside the European continent (or such to depend on future discussions), and also which new version should be applied for which countries.
Please note that since January 1, 2007 all new maps became updated by David Liuzzo (including a world locator, enlarged cut-out for small countries) and as of February 4, 2007 the restricted licence that had jeopardized their availability on Wikimedia Commons, became more free. The subsections on the talk page that had shown David Liuzzo's original maps, now show his most recent design.
Please read the discussion (also in other sections α, β, γ, δ, ε, ζ, η, θ) and in particular the arguments offered by the forementioned poll, while realizing some comments to have been made prior to updating the maps, and all prior to modifying the licences, before carefully reading the presentation of the currently open survey. You are invited to only then finally make up your mind and vote for only one option.
There mustnot be 'oppose' votes; if none of the options would be appreciated, you could vote for the option you might with some effort find least difficult to live with - rather like elections only allowing to vote for one of several candidates. Obviously, you are most welcome to leave a brief argumentation with your vote. Kind regards. — SomeHuman 7 Feb 2007 20:15 (UTC)
