[edit] Response to your message

You wrote, "I'm not sure why you view using some content from US Army websites to describe US Army agencies as a copyright violation." The simple answer is that I screwed up. :) I've removed the copyvio tag on the original article and the warning I gave you on your talk page (as it was placed here in error). Please let me know if I can do anything else to assist you. Cheers. -- Merope 13:59, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WP Copyvio policies

It's well established in copyright law, as you thought, that nothing originated by the U.S. Government can be copyrighted and that the federal government does not claim copyright. There are some gray areas and exeptions though. The Wikipedia policy is at WP:PD and more specifically at Wikipedia:Public_domain#U.S._government_works Richardjames444 17:01, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

("Hzoi" says: Thanks for the cite. Sometimes saying "I could be wrong, but I think that..." is more polite than "I know you're wrong, and I shall now prove it for all the world to see...")

[edit] Blocked from editing?

Got the message today that I have been blocked from editing for repeated vandalism. Have emailed, but suspect that this is a block for my IP address (thanks, Cambrai-Fritsch proxy server).

In the long run, if there is a way to get my account from being confused with the other anonymous knuckleheads on this IP server, I'd appreciate it; meanwhile, I would appreciate being UNblocked ASAP. Hzoi 10:26, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

((unblock-auto|1=134.233.132.6|2=repeated vandalism for several days - AB|3=Can't sleep, clown will eat me))

Sorry Hzoi -- who does this IP address belong to? I'm in the process of changing the parameters to anon-only so you can edit. Can't sleep, clown will eat me 11:33, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

No problem. I believe this IP actually covers the Internet gateway for my entire community -- Cambrai-Fritsch Caserne, a US Army post in Darmstadt. My machine has a different IP address than the one that was blocked, but I'm guessing the installation as a proxy server for the main Internet gateway. Thanks for making the change, and don't worry about the initial block -- if vandalism has been bad enough to block the IP, better ot be safe than sorry. Hzoi 12:41, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Judge Advocate General's Corps, U.S. Army

Sorry about that, I ran a spell check without thinking about it, and there's apparently a redirect page that spells it "material," so it didn't come up as redlinked. Cheers, JCO312 14:39, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Not a problem! Hzoi 18:16, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use image use

Greetings. You placed Image:DCseal.jpg on Template:User Davidson. Per our policies as described at Wikipedia:Fair use criteria item #9, the use of fair use images on templates is not permitted. I removed the image from the template in line with this policy. Shortly thereafter, you put the image back on the template. I am removing the image again, as the use of such images on templates violates our policies. You are free to use free-license imagery, but copyrighted fair use images may only be used on main namespace articles, and never on templates or userpages. Please do not re-add the image, or any other fair use image, to that template or any other non-main namespace article. If you have any questions about this, I'd be happy to answer. Thanks, --Durin 17:00, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Understood; my bad. Saw the image removed and didn't make the connection to the fair use issue. Hzoi 17:03, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Davidson userbox

You can't use a fair-use image (like college logos) in that way. Please look at the other college or university userboxes in Wikipedia:Userboxes/Education/United States for some creative examples that are not copyright violations. --NThurston 17:01, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Roger, got it. Anyone else? Hzoi 17:05, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
