[edit] Vandalism

Wikipedia:Vandalism in progress. Most of the time, simply reverting the page a single time is good enough and a report isn't needed. To revert a page, go to the Page History, and click to edit the last good post. Leave contents exactly as they are, and put in the Summary some information like "revert vandalism by user:213.122.43.100 to last edit by User:Nikai". I did so for Film. --zandperl 16:50, 22 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Thank you! --Pacific1982 19:50, 22 Mar 2004 (UTC)

[edit] I think you've been had

You created a disambig page for Daniel Greene. However there is no such person as Daniel Greene (pop singer). This was vandalism created by anon, using info from Geri Halliwell, and placign it on Daniel Greene page - which I take it you then moved to a seperate article. I think I've sorted it out and marked the appropriate pages for deletion. I assume you had nothing to do with the original vandalism. --Doc Glasgow 15:28, 1 May 2005 (UTC)

Sorry, just read your talk on the page - I see that is exactly what happened - --Doc Glasgow 15:31, 1 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Viola

I see that you changed alliterator's "Viola!" at Talk:Veronica Mars#Episode Pages to "Voilà!". I was tempted to do this as well, but I assumed Alliterator might have been deliberately misusing the term, as is often done by English speakers affecting bad French. I was going to quote my favorite instance of this from Mystery Science Theater 3000, but to my horror, and despite the fact that I am a major contributor to Wikiquote and MST3K is my favorite show, I can't for the life of me recall exactly what Pearl Forrester said when she did this. C'est très damage. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 06:22, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the "heads-up" concerning how the misspelling of voilà may have been intentional. I'm also a fan of MST3K, but I'm not hard-core enough to remember that specific line of Pearl's. I will leave it to Alliterator to do a revert on that if desired. Pacific1982 15:16, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Need for info

Dear Pacific1982,

I'm writing from it.wiki to have some advice about copyrighted images. I wanted to upload to Commons the image about Darius Milhaud but its template states it as a copyrighted pictur. What conditions let it remain on en.wikipedia? I noticed that some other pictures (scans from sheet music in Olivier Messiaen) have the same status. I'd be delighted to scan some of the scores I bought to embellish my music articles, but I didn't understand what makes them liable here on en.wiki and uneligible on Commons. I could download thos pictures on my hard disk and upload them on it.wiki, but I fear controversy about copyright issues.

Forgive my bad English. Thank you in advance for your kind reply. - εΔ ω 16:00, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

If I am not mistaken, such copyrighted images can be put onto Wikipedia under certain conditions of fair use. If I may paraphrase: "It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of promotional material (1) to illustrate the work or product in question; (2) in the absence of free images that could serve such a purpose; (3) on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, (4) qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law."

I don't know or understand what the rules are concerning the Italian Wikipedia, or the transfer of images from English Wikipedia to Italian Wikipedia. You may need to ask those in charge how the copyright laws apply on your site. All I know is that "fair use" of a copyrighted image is OK. Pacific1982 20:10, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
