[edit] Music of Minnesota

Hey, I know you've made a lot of changes to music of Minnesota in the past. I just did some reorganizing, and plan on doing more soon. Hopefully, I'll be getting both that article and maybe even music of Minneapolis (which doesn't yet exist) to featured status. Would you have any interest in working on that as well? I've already got music of Maryland through the process, and Minnesota has a more well-known musical heritage than Maryland, so I think I can do it. Tuf-Kat 19:53, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] American Public Media Group

I wanted to draw your attention to the APMG page, which appear to be the primary contributor on. [209.98.64.3] has made a couple MPR-related edits that are rather dubious, especially http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=American_Public_Media_Group&diff=28690809&oldid=16877393. You can see that some criticism has been changed to marketingspeak. I couldn't decide whether it deserved a complete revert or not -- I'd encourage you to take a look. I've already reverted an edit to Bill Kling that seems to have been pasted by 209.98.64.3 from somewhere else (some text can be seen verbatim on http://www.pavekmuseum.org/kling.htm ).

[edit] User:Mulad/images

Hi, I notice there are a number of fair use images on this page (36 acording to this report). Wikipedia policy is to not allow fair use images to be displayed in userspace (see Wikipedia:Fair use#Fair use policy), so I'll have to ask you to please replace those images with links instead. The free licensed and public domain images can stay as is, just not the fair use ones. Thanks in advance. --Sherool (talk) 20:09, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

^{Copied from my talkpage}

I don't appreciate this policy, though I suppose I shouldn't be complaining to you about it. One of the reasons I have a gallery of the fair-use images I've uploaded is that they can occasionally be altered or removed. I like to have a place where I can monitor the images without having to visit each one. —Mulad (talk) 01:41, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, that is a problem, and you are not the first to say so (not quite good enough reason to allow the images in userspace though IMHO). However I have submited a request for a new software feature that would make things like file overwrites be noted on the watchlist. This would go a long way towards fixing that problem I think, you can comment and vote for the proposal at bugzilla if you wish. --Sherool (talk) 02:19, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

hrm if you made a page off your user page and didn't link to it, what would that fall under? -Ravedave 02:38, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:The_Daily_Show_colorbar.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:The_Daily_Show_colorbar.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator.

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you have questions about copyright tagging of images, post on Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags or User talk:Carnildo/images. 02:15, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image Copywrites

I am just trying to protect the pictures that i have taken, since last fall i found out that several, that i have since deleted, were used without permission and published in 2 books and on 3 websites. I guess i got frustrated and didnt know how to protect myself from this happening again, so i put "do not reproduce without permission." This, however, does not mean that i havent allowed them to be used on wikipedia. I dont just want to give up either, seeing as, pardon the cliché, "Pictures are worth a thousand words." Anyways, lets not explode this situation into unnecessary enmity. --Geppy 01:27, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Minnesota

I noticed your work on MN articles, thanks! I have been focusing on parks on and off for the last few months. You might want to add [[Category:Wikipedians_in_Minnesota]]-Ravedave 03:21, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

Also, there's now a new WikiProject Minnesota that just started. Since you've done a lot of good work on Minnesota articles, I think you'd be interested in this project. Check it out. --Elkman - ^(talk) 16:31, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia survey

Hi. I'm doing a survey of Wikipedia editors as part of a class research project. It's quick, anonymous, and the data will be made available to the Wikipedia community later this month. Would you like to take part? More info here. Thanks! Nonplus 00:38, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Radio Stations

I'm a part of the WikiProject Missouri, so I was looking through the Category:Radio stations in St. Louis. I noticed that some of them were marked with the WikiProject Radio Stations template and some were not. You or someone else on the project should probably go through that and tag all of them. I can do it myself as well, but I didn't want to do it without informing someone on the WikiProject Radio Stations first. Leave me a message. Thanks! Amalas 14:45, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Locks and Dams

Do look here: [Lock and Dam No. 2]], on the talk page. USGS site listing all the locks and dams. I've dumped the info here for future development. --FourthAve 11:23, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image Tagging for Image:Arne_Carlson_portrait.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Arne_Carlson_portrait.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.

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

• Wikipedia:Image use policy
• Wikipedia:Image copyright tags

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Wye.png

Thanks for uploading Image:Wye.png. 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 an argument 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. User:Angr 11:17, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] hello!

I was browsing randomly in flickr and noticed a user named 'mulad' which I recognized from your edits to the Minnesota article. I clicked and poked around and within 2 minutes found one of my co-workers, Keaton in this pic. What a small world eh? Interesting co-incidence, so I thought I'd tell you. Also Wikipedia:WikiProject_Minnesota is currently working to get Minnesota to Featured Article status, so any help would be appreciated! PS you have some pretty sweet pics, you should add more to WP -Ravedave 06:21, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Incineration article Mulad's Breakfast

Hi there Mulad,

I have been rearranging and modifying the waste management category. I see you have here an extra article on incineration. Can you merge your key ideas into the new article? Or is there an extra reason for this to be here?

Cheers --Alex 12:20, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:RT Rybak.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:RT Rybak.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:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

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 17:31, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:NK-nampo.png

Thanks for uploading Image:NK-nampo.png. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. 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 tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 15:30, 2 February 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -SCEhardT 15:30, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:KSTP-FM logo.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:KSTP-FM logo.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.

[edit] Your photos

Mike, I want to thank you for your most excellent photos which I often find in articles about Minnesota. Yesterday I found a very nice set of yours on Flickr for the May Day Parade and added it to the Arts section in Minneapolis article (no way to know for how long it will be there so with luck here is a link Image:Sky and Prairie-Powderhorn-Minneapolis-2006-05-07.jpg.
