[edit] Fair use images on userpages

hey there... I know it might sound petty, but I wanted to point out that you can't use "fair use" images on user pages (that is, any copyright tagged as being used under "fair use" grounds). In fact, they shouldn't be used anywhere outside of the article namespace, see Wikipedia:Fair use#Policy. The reason I point this out is that you use Image:PortsUni.png, which as a logo, is only on Wikipedia under fair use grounds, on your userpage. I'll leave it up to you what you replace it with. └UkPaolo/talk┐ 21:17, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

PS - an article on P&OSL would be interesting...

Thanks for the link, I've used it to upload Image:University of Portsmouth.jpg, which is a more up-to-date and higher quality version than the previous logo we had. Unfortunately, the fact that they allow you to use the logo doesn't constitute "free use", it's (undoubtedly) still copyright. For as long as the image is tagged as being licensed for use on Wikipedia only under "fair use" grounds, it is breaking our policy for the image to be used on your user page (in fact, it could be technically seen as breaking copyright law, since you can't really claim fair use on a page which doesn't illustrate the university). Your only choice is to either ditch the logo, or tag the image under a different license (if you can find proof that it's licensed in some other way, such as with no rights reserved as {{NoRightsReserved}} for example). Sorry! It's a pain, but that policy has caused problems with several of the userboxes (such as those using the official Microsoft/Apple/Google logos, all of which are provided by those companies as a "media download"). └UkPaolo/talk┐ 21:47, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] HMS Bristol

Thanks for clearing the Dartsmouth v. Portsmouth thing up! David 14:35, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cities (and MK)

You had a good idea for a template of cities (and not Cities). But I reckon that the entrance fee would have to be 250,000 so MK has another few weeks to go  :) [I was beginning to think that it was just me looking after MK!). --Concrete Cowboy 22:24, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome to the Military history WikiProject!

Hi, and welcome to the Military history WikiProject! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to military history.

A few features that you might find helpful:

There are a variety of interesting things to do within the project; you're free to participate however much—or little—you like:

  • Starting some new articles? Our article structure guidelines outline some things to include.
  • Interested in working on a more complete article? The military history peer review and collaboration departments would welcome your help!
  • Interested in a particular area of military history? We have a number of task forces that focus on specific topics, nations, or periods.
  • Want to know how good our articles are? The assessment department is working on rating the quality of every military history article in Wikipedia.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask one of the project coordinators, or any experienced member of the project, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! Kirill Lokshin 15:04, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
