Hello Michael, welcome to Wikipedia. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian. You can learn more on the how to edit page. The naming conventions and style guide pages are also useful. In future, please use the sandbox for testing.
If you have any questions, see the help pages or add a question to the village pump. If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted. Angela 23:47, 23 Aug 2003 (UTC)
Can you give details of the copyright status of the image of Suzy Parker you recently uploaded? Unfortunately Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material unless specific permission has been given to release it under the GFDL under which the Wikipedia content is distributed. Public domain material of course is fine.
If you place information on [[Image:Sp-t05.jpg]], it would put our minds at ease about the issue.
I'dd love to see a picture of her on the article, but we do have to be careful ... --Morven 20:41, 18 Sep 2003 (UTC)</nowiki>

Hi, could you cut down the size of the Cybill Shepard pic? It's too big for the page. RickK 02:26, 25 Sep 2003 (UTC)
The pic looks great! This size is less grainy, too. :) RickK 01:06, 26 Sep 2003 (UTC)
Hi, Michael -- Despite my numerous changes I like the Trench coat article. If you don't like what I did to your opening sentence I won't fight if you restore it. Maybe the encyclopedia needs some breezier writing. The subject of the article should be bolded in the first sentence, though. I also put a redirect page at Trenchcoat. Trontonian 15:46, 29 Sep 2003 (UTC)
Glad to have contributed to the article. Nice pic, by the way. I'm going to be following up some of the other articles about clothing. The safari jacket could probably be the subject of its own encyclopedia. Trontonian 23:06, 30 Sep 2003 (UTC)
Hi, Image:Jamth.PNG appears to be broken - all I see is a black box. Maybe you need to upload again? Regards, sannse 23:02, 7 Oct 2003 (UTC)
- I'll ask on the pump and see if it's just me (I cleared my cache and it still just looks like a black box to me). If others have the same problem then a reload might be best. I'll let you know :) -- sannse 18:05, 8 Oct 2003 (UTC)
- I've uploaded a JPEG version for you at Image:Jamthund.jpg. ¬ Dori 02:46, 9 Oct 2003 (UTC)

- Hi Michael, your new version didn't work, it seems it's a browser issue - Internet Explorer has problems displaying pngs. I've switched over to Dori's Jpg which solves the problem nicely :) -- sannse 20:21, 9 Oct 2003 (UTC)
[edit] Whodunit?
Who keeps deleting my Ellen Bry Stub Article? I would like to see it left as is until I can get some decent biographical info on her... Please and Thanks, Michael Reiter.
That particular article is being deleted in accordance with point 4 on the list of "Candidates for speedy deletion" of the Wikipedia:Deletion policy. I suggest you move the current Ellen Bry article to User:Michael Reiter/Ellen Bry and work on it there until it's up to stub quality, at which time you can move it back. Cheers, Cyan 22:21, 28 Oct 2003 (UTC)
Merry Christmas All. Can somebody tell me why uploading has been disabled, and if it is effecting everybody on Wikipedia? Hope it's nothing I did. Michael Reiter.
- It's to do with the current server problems. The technical types are having to fiddle round a lot to keep things going. Once things are more stable again (or once the new hardware is installed) we should get back things like uploading and searching. Regards -- sannse 19:31, 31 Dec 2003 (UTC)
Hello, all. What seems to be the matter? I can't seem to get my article on Barbara Bain to download. I hope some one can help...

Yes. Thanks for the come back.

[edit] Re: Jamthund article
I just wanted to let you know that I edited your recent changes to the Jämthund images. Since wikipedia articles don't have authors as such--just many contributors--it's not really appropriate to refer to "the author". Also, descriptions of images in articles should generally talk about the image as it relates to the article. Hence none of the dog photos *in the articles* give the owners' names, dogs' names, and so on. But of course if anyone clicks on an image, they get the bigger version *and* the detailed description of the particular photo, as in Image:JamthundA.JPG or Image:BedlingtonTerriers_wb.jpg.
Given all that, I'm so sorry for the apparently recent loss of your friend. It is so hard to lose a dog. I lost my favorite last year, very suddenly, to an aggressive cancer (hemangiosarcoma), and even having 2 other dogs around, there's still a huge painful hole left by his absence. My sympathy is with you. Elf | Talk 18:49, 17 May 2004 (UTC)
Huh--You mean it's not 1994 any more? I still sometimes date my checks (not intentionally) '84, so who can tell--. Elf | Talk 00:52, 19 May 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Re: German Shepherd Dog article
Michael,
There is already a link to the List of fictional dogs on the German Shepherd Dog page. That list includes Ace The Bat-hound. There are lots of famous fictional GSDs. I don't think we want to duplicate large portions of that list on the GSD page. If you don't think it is sufficient to rely on the list of fictional dogs, how about creating a page with a List of fictional German Shepherd Dogs, which would also include Ace? It would be challenging to keep the GSD only list up-to-date with respect to the all dogs list. I understand from Elf that this has been done on other dog breed pages. If you don't think this is acceptable, would you please go to Talk:German Shepherd Dog and explain why Ace is so exceptional that he needs to be linked directly from the GSD page. Thanks.

[edit] Article Licensing
Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:
- Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
- Multi-Licensing Guide
- Free the Rambot Articles Project
To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:
- Option 1
- I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:
- {{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}
OR
- Option 2
- I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:
- {{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}
Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)
- You mentioned that you'd like to take advantage of multi-licensing. It's pretty simple, and the simplest way is to copy and paste the following into your user page (or User:Michael Reiter/Copyright): "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}". Once you copy it in, just save it and it will create a banner which lets everyone know that you've agreed to the terms of the CC-by-sa. – Ram-Man (comment) (talk)[[]] 13:29, Dec 20, 2004 (UTC)
[edit] MultiLicence Under GNU
Multi-licensed into the public domain | ||
I agree to multi-license my eligible text contributions, unless otherwise stated, under the GFDL and into the public domain. Please be aware that other contributors might not do the same, so if you want to use my contributions in the public domain, please check the multi-licensing guide. |
You wrote "I believe it is, because I got it from www.us.imdb.com before they cracked down on downloaders... It must be okay, because that's where I got it from; before the afore mentioned site's crackdown."

- Hi, User:Paul_A. I'm Michael Reiter. Public Domain is the one to go with.

Is it? On what basis? I wouldn't have thought that there's been time for the image to have fallen into the public domain in the usual way. --Paul A 01:31, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Martin Landau, Barbara Bain and Catherine Schell.JPG?
Hi Michael.
I used Adobe Photoshop CS2 to edit the 'Martin Landau, Barbara Bain ...' image. The picture should look better on most monitors, but if you don't like what I've done to your image then you can go back to the original one by clicking on the '(rev)' radio-button, which will revert to the previous (i.e., your original) upload. Regards, Ian Dunster 19:49, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Hi again Michael. Glad you liked the altered image. You can download a free trial copy of Photoshop CS2 from the Adobe website here: Adobe Photoshop CS2 but it's an expensive (professional) program so if you don't feel like paying so much for something that you won't be using a lot then Adobe do a cut-down (but still very good) home version called Photoshop Elements (here: Photoshop Elements) which is a lot cheaper and may well do everthing that you need.
- BTW, You can sign your name using three tildes, like this: ~~~. If you use four, you can add a datestamp too. it 'signs' your name (like mine below) and using four adds the date so that people know when you left them the message and provides a link back to you.

[edit] Dumpster
Greetings. I did not create those pages. There is a very persistent troll who impersonates me (and other users) using names like Quadeii and Quade11 etc. and generally causing as much trouble as possible. I've blocked every account I can find that he uses, but he's persistent. Sorry that you've been bothered by the guy as well. – Quadell (talk) (sleuth) 11:02, July 15, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] German Shepherd/Cat photo
"getting the bum's rush" (a) means nothing to probably a large portion of the encyclopedia's readers--it's a colloquialism and not necessarily a widely spread one, and (b) adds nothing at all to the understanding of the German Shepherd breed. The comment just doesn't belong in the caption in the article.It can be on the image's description page all you want, because that page is about the image, but I don't see how it adds value--and in fact confuses the issue--on the GSD page. Can you clarify why you think it does belong there? Thanks. Elf | Talk 22:15, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Known source
When you set a tag like {{promophoto}}
you are asserting that the source of the image is known, not just to you, but to Wikipedia as a whole. This is not the case in the images that you have recently added this tag to. Can you, please, cite the URL or other source from which you got those images? It's actually strong Wikipedia policy that all images must have source attribution. Thank you. -Harmil 04:14, 7 August 2005 (UTC)
- More specifically, by adding that template, you added this text to those images:
- If you believe that this image may be used by Wikipedia and by all other licensees under the fair use doctrine, then please add a detailed fair use rationale as described on Wikipedia:Image description page to justify this belief.
- You have not done this. -Harmil 04:18, 7 August 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Image:Orange flight suit.jpg
Image deletion warning | Image:Orange flight suit.jpg has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. If you feel that this image should not be deleted, please go there to voice your opinion. |
[edit] Image:Orange_flight_suit.jpg
I have nothing to do with Image:Orange_flight_suit.jpg being listed for deletion, other than having been the one to point out that it was listed without source information. I do imagine that it will be deleted, though. Generally Wikipedia has to be pretty strict about knowing the origin and copyright status of its images in order to comply with the applicable U.S. laws. -Harmil 16:33, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Recent image edits
We've discussed this before, but clearly it needs to be said again: I request that you review your recent image edits, and where the template that you are using suggests that a source is known, please list the source. Image sourcing is becoming an increasingly important topic on Wikipedia, and I can guarantee that any image that you do not source will be deleted at some point in the future (not by me) unless its source is painfully obvious, and even then there is substantial question around the legality of assumiung the source of the image.
If you are uploading / editing images because you want them to remain on Wikipedia, list the URLs, photographers, artists, scanned source material or whatever other information you can come up with for the source of the images. If you do not, you are acting in direct violation of Wikipedia policy, and there's very little chance that your work will remain. -Harmil 13:28, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
Please provide a fair use rationale for the two "safari jacket" images. Do not simply remove the "disputed" tag. The image talk page would be the ideal place to provide such a rationale. Please see Wikipedia:Fair use for details. The Uninvited Co., Inc. 16:28, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] No source tag removal
Please do not remove the "nosource" image tag from any image unlesss the source for the image has been identified. Proper identification of the source would ordinarily consist of the name and address of the photographer or copyright holder and the approximate date the photograph was taken. The Uninvited Co., Inc. 16:27, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Safari jacket
The consensus was (by others, not me) that there was weak fair use justification (See attached discussion) to keep the images and a free replacement could easily be made (although no one has stepped up to create one). I got tired of arguing about it and went with the consensus. Sorry --Nv8200p (talk) 17:51, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
- Image:Pgsafjak3.JPG Previously at IFD but moved here at request of the admin who closed the IFD discussion. This is clearly not fair use, since the object in the photo rather than the photo itself is being discussed in the article where it is used. The Uninvited Co., Inc. 16:06, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
- Keep I don't get this argument. Almost every fair use image we have is about the object in the image rather than the photo itself --Nv8200p (talk) 17:49, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. The real question is not so much this object/subject stuff as, Can a freely licensed replacement be made? In this case it can, easily. Fair use should be resorted to when alternatives are absolutely unavailable or unreasonably impractical. --Michael Snow 18:42, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
- Whats the point of ifd if the images dont get deleted. As has been pointed out a free image would take someone no time to make, the fair use justification is dubious in the extreme, why do we have to go through PUI? The image is not free, so PUI shouldnt have to apply. Justinc 15:17, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- I think we have a pretty weak fair use claim for this, so delete. JYolkowski // talk 23:48, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Response
Número uno - tone it down three or four notches, BOLD CAPS and multiple exclaimation marks don't impress anyone, and don't take it so personally (and "do not delete THE image"? Huh?)
Número dos - I'm not listing it as "no source" or "no licence", so it being "uploaded with all the appropriate information!!!!" is irrelevant. And if I was, I would just tag it rather than sending it to WP:IFD.
Número tres - it IS washed out. The blacks are browns, the white is beige. And the red on his badge is yellow. - SoM 19:07, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Response 2
Oh so witty - did it take you a whole day to think up a way to "say" fuck you ('cause that's what the caps do) without actually "saying" it?
WP:FU - SoM 21:17, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
CLICK THE FRELLING LINK. It was intended as more than a clue.
And I really get the feeling I don't want to engage with you. NO, it was not "fuck you." I don't know you, I don't care about you, so WTH would I put the effort into a personal slight?
If you respond again, I won't respond back. - SoM 16:43, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
- Hi Michael. Sorry for the delay in replying. I think that when he wrote 'FU' he was actually referring to 'Fair Use' i.e., the tag under which the image was on Wikipedia (WP)
- Sounds like you may have your wires crossed a little! :)
- BTW, the image doesn't look too bad to me. I think User talk:Mel Etitis may be an administrator but I'm not sure. Regards, Ian Dunster 11:43, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Your message
Yes, I am an admin., but you don't really need one; you just need to vote to keep the image (at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion/2005 October 31). You and SoM seem to have managed a series of escalating misunderstandings, in which you each thought the other was being abusive; it's clear, though, that neither of you was. If you can both take a few deep breaths and try again, you might still disagree over the image, but at least you can disagree in a friendly fashion. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 21:27, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Trenchcoatinuse.JPG. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too.

I think you are misunderstanding how copyright laws work. Take a look at Public_domain#Expiration. Unless the work was published before 1923 or the author has been dead for 70 years, the work is not in public domain in the United States. Also, placing a picture on an eBay auction does not mean the author has released it into public domain. -SCEhardT 21:08, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Aa-lbp04.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that your image can be used under a fair use license. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If your image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why your image was deleted. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Thanks for uploading Image:Pretty Lady Copy.JPG. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Fritz Saalfeld (Talk) 10:13, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Spy2helena66.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Spy2helena66.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
- On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Chowbok ☠ 20:58, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Susan Saint James.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:Susan Saint James.JPG. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
- On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rossrs 13:54, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:CatherineBellasLtColSarahMcKenzieUSMCJAG.JPG)
Thanks for uploading Image:CatherineBellasLtColSarahMcKenzieUSMCJAG.JPG. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.
