[edit] License tagging for Image:Fits v2.1.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Fits v2.1.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 17:06, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Astronomy edits

I found your biography online, and I see that you are working for ESA. I am also a professional astronomer (George_J._Bendo) working on Wikipedia articles. You may be interested in Wikipedia:WikiProject Astronomical objects, which is a forum frequently used for astronomy-related discussions. The main group of people working on Wikipedia astronomy articles includes one or two other professionals, a few amateur astronomers, and a few enthusiasts. Frequently, other people randomly create articles for odd reasons.

If you have questions about producing good articles on astronomical articles, please ask. Note that many astronomical articles lack good references. I use the Sombrero Galaxy article as an example of how to use the footnote form of references (although a couple of its statements still need references).

One other comment: I agree with adding credits to NASA and ESA below HST images, and I hope that you will do that in the future. However, adding "HST is a joint collaboration between NASA and ESA" when HST is mentioned within the text of individual articles seems a little gratuitous. Adding a footnote with a reference to a journal paper would be more useful.

Feel free to contact me if you have questions or comments. Dr. Submillimeter 17:44, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your suggestions. We will do our best to follow your advice and will re-edit tomorrow. Lars Lindberg Christensen 18:50, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your Wikipedia autobiography

Please review WP:BIO and WP:AUTO, Wikipedia's policies on biography and autobiography. It is clear that you and possibly your co-workers at ESO have been responsible for most of the content of Lars Lindberg Christensen. This activity should be performed cautiously.

[edit] Your use of Category:Hubble images and Category:ESA images

You and the anonymous IP addresses at the ESO are misusing these categories. These categories should be applied to images themselves, not articles with the images in them. I am reverting your edits to the articles.

You may really want to discuss your edits with other people in Wikipedia. I strongly encourage you to participate in discussions at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Astronomy, Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Astronomical objects, and Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Physics. Even as a professional astronomer, I cannot tell what your motivations are half of the time. I imagine that other people in Wikipedia are even more confused. Dr. Submillimeter 09:29, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

You have also unnecessarily applied both categories to multiple HST images. You could have simply made Category:ESA images a parent category of Category:Hubble images. I am going to fix this. Dr. Submillimeter 09:54, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
