[edit] question

ok so i created Eagle Lake trailhead, but its actually Eagle Falls Trailhead people call it both, but its actually Eagle Falls Trailhead so how do I change it and add a redirect? to make Eagle Lake Trailhead point to Eagle Falls Trailhead?

[edit] hmm

ok so the real name was supposed to Eagle Falls Trailhead and I renamed or 'moved' the original article, but now the redirect you setup is doing this...click to see Eagle Lake Trailhead...I dont know how to fix it.

I am sorry about the gallary and i will not do it again Thank you for telling me.

[edit] Template:WorldCoin

you say "full permission to Wikipedia is not good enough, needs to be released under a free license." i can contact the The World Coin Gallery owner to get the free license, if you tell me how. Kingturtle 00:53, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Sure. All of the details, as well as several examples, are spelled out at Wikipedia:Example requests for permission. --Hetar 03:08, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Don Norris has sent me an email and CCed permissions@wikimedia.org. it reads:

I hereby agree to grant Wikimedia full permission to use any coin images from my webpages at worldcoingallery.com under terms of the GNU Free Documentation License. Don Norris owner of http://worldcoingallery.com

what do i do with this? Kingturtle 21:17, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Actually, he needs to license those images under the GNU Free Documentation for use by anyone. Due to the fact that we license/sell/distribute our content to different entities, permission specific to Wikipedia is not good enough. Once you get him to grant the correct permissions, just have him send an email to yourself and to permissions AT wikimedia DOT org. --Hetar 03:48, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

hmmm. maybe the letter samples at Wikipedia:Example requests for permission need some rewording. we were trying to follow closely what it told us to do. can you write out exactly word-for-word what he needs to say in his email? Kingturtle 23:25, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

From what I can see all the letters are worded correctly. They all mention that the material needs to be licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) so that anyone can modify it. A simple statement like the following should work:

I BLANK hereby release all images on my website WEBSITEADDRESS under the GNU Free Documentation (GFDL) license. I understand that this means that although I will retain the copyright and authorship of my work, I am granting permission for all others (not just Wikipedia) to use, copy, and share these materials freely—and even potentially use them commercially—as long as they do not try to claim the copyright themselves, or try to prevent others from using or copying them freely.

[edit] Update

Any word on WoW Vault - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:World_of_Warcraft —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Eviltrance (talk • contribs) .

Nothing has changed. The vault offers nothing that can't already be found at Wowiki, Thotbot, or any of the other current links. --Hetar 03:06, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tower Bridge Image FP

It made it as the FP? I cant seem to find where it says that...it just says canidate? plus people have edited the image and uploaded it, but there is no reference to me as the photograher...how do i fix this?

[edit] Life of Riley

Hey Hetar! I noticed that you placed a "criteria for speedy deletion" label on the Life of Riley page that I recently created. I explained in the talk page on why the band is considered to be significant. If need more info on the band, please feel free to leave a message on my talk page. =) Jumping cheese Contact 05:46, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] mmec

pls do not change the mmec page. it results in voilation of the terms and conditions of wiki.. it will delete this page because it has copyrighted material that u r adding...

Actually, the copyrighted material was added by you. And now, the whole page must be deleted, because the copyrighted material will always exist in the page history. --Hetar 18:29, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Why are you so obsessed with getting Wealthtrust deleted?

--PEAR 19:59, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Because it fails WP:CORP. --Hetar 19:59, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re:Question

Sure you can! Just follow the steps outlined in the "closing noms" section. --Fir0002 00:14, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] White Crane Gung Fu SF

Why did you remove the link? M & L —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Whitecrane (talk • contribs) .

Because Wikipedia is not an external link repository, and because you should not add links to a website that you own, maintain, or are associated with. This is because of neutrality and point-of-view concerns; neutrality is an important objective at Wikipedia, and a difficult one. If it is relevant and informative, mention it on the talk page and let other — neutral — Wikipedia editors decide whether to add the link. --Hetar 02:07, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jeff Hart and The Ruins

I own http://www.ipass.net/jhart/jh02bio.htm I based the band's history on the bio page. No copyright infringement. Thank you. Nello61 03:18, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

If such is the case, and you want your material to be used on Wikipedia, then you must do the following:
  • Make a note permitting reuse under the GFDL at the site of the original publication.
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions at wikimedia dot org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation.
--Hetar 05:02, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Though I do own the copyright to the material in question and your suggestions are more than helpful, and I'm still getting my bearings with Wikipedia. In the meantime I had written a temp page which I believe is much more readable and will completely avoid the copyright issue and is hopefully more interesting. You will also find it more in line with the narrower subject matter linked from the power pop entry that sent me to Wikipedia originally (and made me aware of this unwritten Jeff Hart and the Ruins entry). This is the page.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Jeff_Hart_and_the_Ruins/Temp I'll start over and hopefully this is a better start. Thanks for your assistance Nello61 05:41, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

An administrator will eventually look at your temp page and replace the main article with it if it meets our copyright and other guidelines. Add some reliable sources and you'll even have a decent article. --Hetar 06:18, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jeff Hart and the Ruins

Hey, Hetar!

I just added some of my hometown talent to the Power Pop list. One of those buddies took it upon himself to seize the opportunity and get the record straight.

Ever heard the funny story about how John Fogerty got suied for plagerizing himself?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Fogerty#Solo_recording_career

I think Jeff can do what he wishes with the content of his own website (which was created and administered pretty much by his lonesome, sans hosting service, if memory serves...). 67.77.130.247 04:12, 13 August 2006 (UTC)Popster506

[edit] Leh Palace picture

Hetar,

I'm copyright holder for the Leh Palace picture. Sorry about not adding the source information.

I've sorted this and added to 'release to public domain' tag.

Ian (Beefy_SAFC)

Thanks! --Hetar 05:37, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Img Question

Hi there,

Can you clarify the issue with this image? [1] Thanks, --Palffy 05:14, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

  1. Typically photos that you use the promophoto tag should come from an authorized promotion source, such as an official press kit. Such is obviously not the case with this foto, as it has a clear copyright watermark on it.
  2. I can't understand the text at www.fcstal.lg.ua but I am assuming it is some sort of press agency. If this is the case , it qualifies for counterxample #5 at WP:FU.
  3. It should be possible (and not that difficult) to obtain a non-fair use or "free" licensed image of the stadium, making any claim of fair use rather difficult.

--Hetar 05:36, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

No, www.fcstal.lg.ua is actually the official site of FC Stal Alchevsk, the football club to which the stadium in question belongs to. Would you suggest that I use one without the tag for wikipedia? (such as any of the ones found here?) --Palffy 06:27, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
I would suggest that you use one without the tag, and that you license it under a free license, such as the GFDL. --Hetar 06:48, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
Done, I think.. --Palffy 10:09, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] NASA images question

Hi Hetar, I've made many pictures using NASA raw images. And I'm not sure what license should be applied to them. I changed colors, size and mosaic pictures sometime are not perfect. User talk:TxAlien --TxAlien 18:30, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Deletions from the help desk

I wouldnt usually delete writings from the help desk however what i deleted was my question i had just written and then realized the question was already asked and answered.

Que? 18:52, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
It's still important that you leave it there, other users often benefit from reading the questions and their answers. --Hetar 19:11, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:James J. Smith.jpg

Why did you dispute the fair use status of this image? I've asked a few admin on IRC and the seem to thing it's ok on James J Smith, except one person mentioned there might have been mention by someone else of AP images not being suitable (couldn't remember why or where though). Are you able to clarify the position? Petros471 16:27, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

This is a perfect example of images that do not qualify for fair use (#5) from WP:FU, "A photo from a press agency (e.g. Reuters, AP), not so famous as to be iconic, to illustrate an article on the subject of the photo." Also, the subject is still alive, so it should be possible to obtain a free license photo. --Hetar 18:48, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
Ok, so I take it I should re-remove it from the article and delete it then? I don't know if you do now (as you tagged that one a while back) but could you please put in the reason when adding {{Fair use disputed}} to help people learn why the image can't be used under fair use.

[edit] Biography on Wikipedia?

What was the name and website of Wikipedian effort to create a global Biography for every person in the world? Stanton BG 12:36, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

What exactly do you mean by a "global biography"? If you just mean a normal biography for everyone in the world, I'm not even sure if such a project ever existed around here. I know that currently many Wikipedians agree that there are a large majority of people who do not merit a biography/article on Wikipedia (see WP:BIO). Although, maybe what your looking for is Wikipedia:WikiProject Biography? --Hetar 17:36, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Wealthtrust

Hello, I asked for a review of the closer's decision of the WealthTrust article. The review is at Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2006 August 21. Cheers, trialsanderrors 03:35, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks!

I just wanted to thank you for fixing my link to my contributions page on my user page. It's greatly appreciated! --The Great Honker 17:18, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

You commented on this animated GIF's Featured Picture nomination. I'm considering a redesign to incorporate concerns raised but I need more clarity. Please see User talk:John Reid/Pi/Unrolled#FP?. Thank you. John Reid 08:40, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Incorrect info issue

ok so first see World temperature extremes

one person brought it to my attention and I didn't think it was even close to right so i researched it and I found


http://hypertextbook.com/facts/2000/MichaelLevin.shtml doesn't confirm

http://members.iinet.com.au/~jacob/worldtp.html doesn't confirm

http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/climate/globalextremes.html NOAA doesn't confirm

http://www.extremescience.com/hottest.htm doesn't confirm, but does confirm what i said...lol

there is also that doesn't confirm Temperature extreme if you read the article it says that temperatures recorded inside forest fires do not count...hmm

http://www.gsfc.nasa.gov/scienceques2001/20020524.htm Nasa says no too

http://www.answerbag.com/q_view.php/2389 another no

Extremes on Earth says different

what do I do? the guy who added it is ademant that its true...he has no listed source, but the numbers a crazy comparitively...not an issue of different means of collecting the numbers or standards type of thing...

[edit] Wireless LAN Security#Solutions -- {{howo}}

Hi, does not a solution tell you 'howto' information? Solutions to secure wireless LAN tell people how to go about securing them, does it not? I propose we change the heading of the section to something like 'Security options'. —Raanoo 05:21, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Ok, thats fine. The section wasn't really a howto, at least in the negative sense. Normal how to problems arise when we are stepping out instructions for various tasks, and including too much detail. Explaining how certain tasks are done, still has value, as long as its not excessive in detail. A good example of this is the explanation of how embalming is done in the Embalming article. --Hetar 05:27, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Near Infrared Tree

Why did you promote the original here Wikipedia:Featured_picture_candidates/Near_Infrared_Tree? There are 7 votes edit 1, 1 original. -Ravedave (help name my baby) 05:26, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Two of those seven said "either with a preference for edit 1." while 10 had no preference or preferred the original. --Hetar 05:33, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
To me no preference votes go to the one that has more support, which is by far edit 1 in this case. -Ravedave (help name my baby) 05:42, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
I understand that. However, there is no "rule" that states which way 'no preference' votes must fall. --Hetar 05:46, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
Ok then lets put this on hold and have people clarify. I'll post a message on FPC talk. If that doesnt clear it up in a day or two I'll message the neutral votes. Sound good? -Ravedave (help name my baby) 05:52, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Sure. --Hetar 05:53, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] What Did you Do the Redirection to SketchUp

why have you redirected the article I was in the middle of creating on Google SketchUp 3D Text?

Firstly, do you know anything about SketchUp?? You redirected the article so quickly, less than one minute - how could you have possibly have read the article. I hadn't even finished the tutorial yet!!!!!!! I'm going to remove the redirection and you can let me finish the article and go thru the proper process of credibility thankyou!!!

Hello, Hetar, since you have made several edits to articles about Chile, you may be interested in looking at the Wikipedia:Chile-related regional notice board to pick up on other topics that need attention, or to express needs which you perceive pertaining to Chile.

[edit] Legacy: A Mormon Journey

Mormon pioneers is the current collaboration of the month. I would like to add the non-commercial LDS movies, Legacy: A Mormon Journey to the external Links section.I think to upload this movie on http://video.google.com/ would not be a problem because LDS movies like The Restoration (Google Video) are also on http://video.google.com/ .But I can not upload this movie because I do not have it and I´m from Europe. So please, can you upload this movie on http://video.google.com/ and share it with us?Daniel3 17:33, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Stonewall

You left a message on my talk page saying "hey i dont know how to work this..but stonewall is one of my heroes he was very religious though a confederate he was against slavery.he was shot by his own men on a scouting mission behing enemy lines" and I was just wondering what that was all about? Because I don't remember saying anything about Stonewall ever. But if you need help or anything then I could help you or something. So...yeah. Also, where did you get those things on your userpage with the little icons and then the message that says "this user is a paladin" or this user is a whatever. Because those are cool. --AimeeLee 14:15, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
