[edit] Some assistance

Hey could you please take a look at the "diplom" article. The issue is with the Abitur having nothing to do with the article. Apparently, some anonymous IP is playing games, does not understand the rules of Wikipedia and is making personal attacks. I asked them to take a look at What Wikipedia is Not but the user doesn't seem to understand. The user also doesn't seem to be a qualified English contributor. I am going to revert the irrelevant changes. Thanks! InfoAgent 16:58, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Umm...sure I'll take a look but I really don't want to get involved in edit wars. I hope you can understand. Why don't you try an RfC and then mediation? aNubiSIII ^{(T / C)} 09:24, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Keep The Peace

Just testing my friend. I may have been drunk..!! (Quentin X 23:39, 18 July 2007 (UTC))

Many thanks for the Barnstar (my first). Many apologies for the untoward edit yesterday, I was very drunk and I think it took me about 5 minutes to type. I appreciate that people can disagree on certain things and that it can get slightly personal but we are all aiming for the same thing and we can lose sight of that sometimes. I look forward to working together in the future. (Quentin X 12:58, 19 July 2007 (UTC))

[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:Bio_hamadam.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Bio_hamadam.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 {{di-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 fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MER-C 11:27, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Seton Hall University Good Article Status

Hi, I'm reaching out to all the major editors of the SHU article in hopes of finishing up some edits required to bring the article up to GA status. The article had passed GA, but was then placed on hold, contingent on our finishing the items on our to do list. I'd appreciate any help you could give in making this happen.

[edit] Congressional Medal of Honor

Hi Jons63! I noticed some of your recent edits concerning the denotation of the Congressional Medal of Honor. Its important to note, however, that removing "Congressional" from the name may possibly misrepresent the naming of this medal. For example, in the disambiguation page you may notice that there is more than one Medal of Honor (i.e. not just for the United States). I'd equate it to something like the difference between The Civil War and the American Civil War. While U.S. military personnel may simply use Medal of Honor in their jargon, this is not entirely suitable for use in an international encyclopedia. Besides this, however, I would like to thank you for your other edits and keep up the good work ethic! Best, aNubiSIII ^{(T / C) 16:53, 7 October 2007 (UTC)}

This topic has been discussed at Medal of Honor. The consensus was that the medal should be called Medal of Honor not Congressional Medal of Honor. Medal of Honor is not jargon, it is the official name of the medal as written into the law passed by the US Congress that created the medal. On most of the pages I edited, the medal was also called Medal of Honor in the infobox on the right side of the article, so I was making the articles consistent within themselves as well as across Wikipedia. Thanks for the advice Jons63 23:10, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi there again Jons63! I'm not exactly sure if I got my point across before accurately. I'm not insinuating that Medal of Honor is an incorrect term. I am merely saying that there is NO need to remove Congressional from the phrase on different wikipedia articles. Using Congressional is more specific terminology and does not subtract at all from the meaning. You must recognize that there are other medals of honor such as in China, Turkey, etc.

Furthermore, I don't see any discussion much less any consensus about this issue on the Medal of Honor Talk Page. Also, please try not to repost any other user's comments with their signatures unless you make it explicity clear that your are quoting them. These issues should not become points of contention, I hope you understand. Look forward to your future edits! Best, aNubiSIII ^{(T / C) 00:59, 8 October 2007 (UTC)}

Congressional Medal of Honor is not more specific if it is not the name of any Medal issued by the US or any other country. I went back and looked again, Talk:Medal of Honor/Archive 1, and there is a huge discussion and the way I read the discussion, it is a consensus that the name should be Medal of Honor not Congressional Medal of Honor. I believe it IS necessary to remove Congressional from the name since it is not the correct name according to 32CFR578.9 [1]

I do recognise there are other Medals of Honor other than the one given out by the US. I don't think this should be a bone of contention either. If you believe that the name that is used on Wikipedia for this medal should be changed to something else go to the page and advocate for it. I believe it is the proper name with the other possibility being Medal of Honor (United States) but never Congressional Medal of Honor We shouldn't call something an incorrect name just because people call it the incorrect name. Wikipedia should be about correct information not continuing to perpetuate incorrect information.

I apologize for copying your post to my talk page to your talk page. Jons63 01:28, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image of Nobel medal

I'm not convinced that it's not a copyright violation to post the image of the Nobel medal for the same reason why people's personal pictures of stamps have been removed from WP. I can ask around to make sure. At any rate, could you edit your picture and remove some of the unnecessary black space that's around it? –panda 22:32, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Just wanted to point out that you haven't stated what the RFC is about in Talk:Nobel Prize. I assume it is about your image. –panda 05:53, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing it out. It has been added. aNubiSIII ^{(T / C) 15:31, 18 October 2007 (UTC)}

You're sane, I'm sane, let's just leave the image off until the discussion at WP:PUI is resolved. Otherwise, it's not going to be worth the aggravation. Sound ok? -- But|seriously|folks 05:24, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Yes, that is probably for the best. Really hope it gets resolved though. aNubiSIII ^{(T / C) 05:41, 21 October 2007 (UTC)~}

Sorry for necromancing, but I have asked for an informal devbate on the image. -Jéské ^{(Blah v^_^v)} 23:42, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:DSCN0732.JPG)

Thanks for uploading Image:DSCN0732.JPG. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 18:35, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Seton Hall alumni

Hey Anibus - I saw you reverted my change to List of notable Seton Hall University alumni, which was an attempt to fix the screwed-up moving undo done by User:Wfrancisd. The problem is, becasue User:Wfrancisd did not know what he/she was doing, the moving undo left the different, almost identical article List of Seton Hall University alumni - the latter is the page linked from the main Seton Hall article, and the one that has the name that follows the WP convention (check the category - no other U.S. university list has "notable" in its title) - so now we have a fork, which is a no-no. I think my change was the right thing to do, but you seem to have a different idea for fixing this - I'd love to hear it, and/or help if I can. Let me know by responding here, I'll watch this page. UnitedStatesian 05:35, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

UnitedSebastian, please note that your repeated moving of List of notable Seton Hall University alumni to List of Seton Hall University alumni has lead to a loss of significant information from the article. Whether this is intentional or not, this MUST BE corrected. Otherwise, it will be perceived as vandalism.

As to the issue of notability, I should remind you that moslist refers only to guidelines. Notability has always been and will continue to be an important criterion of WP articles. This especially goes for lists, where people can be added of whom there are NO respective articles. In this case, there is no way to know the notability of the individual. I urge you to read Wikipedia:Notability people#Lists of people and WP:NOTABLE ALUMNI. Furthermore, I have seen no significant discussion on this issue and noticed that you made changes to the moslist guidelines yourself. Regardless of this, since you have succeeded in forking most of the alumni lists, I will not revert the changes on the Seton Hall University article. However, I remind you that your move MUST BE corrected to include all lost information as soon as possible to avoid any confusion. Thank you. aNubiSIII ^{(T / C) 06:36, 13 November 2007 (UTC)}

Apologoies - the information loss was unintentional and I have rectified it: the two lists now match. Can I now remove the fork that exists under the "notable" title? There has been significant discussion, here, here and elsewhere, of the impropriety of using "notable" in the Names of list articles (both of the guidelines you point to deal with the content of the articles, not what they are named) I have not forked any other list, and I did not fork this one: User:Wfrancisd did. UnitedStatesian 14:02, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re. image

I can confirm that the current image is the same image uploaded by David Monniaux in 2005, only downsized. In addition to the fact that I took David's original and downsized it myself, administrators can also view deleted images, and I've looked at the large original (the one I deleted when I uploaded the smaller version. It is the same photo. You can also ask any administrator to confirm this. Ral315 » 03:18, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:DSCN0732.JPG

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:DSCN0732.JPG. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 non-free media lacking such an explanation 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. Spike Wilbury ♫ talk 19:38, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Sorry about the template message but this photo needs a fair use rationale. This photograph is not a derivative work because there is no significant creative content. You can neither claim copyright on this image nor release it under the GFDL. Thanks --Spike Wilbury ♫ talk 19:47, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

I am sorry but admin or not, your recent edits to Image:DSCN0732.JPG and Nobel Prize completely ignore a lengthy discussion of the issue by other admins((admins) and users alike. I would like to point out that your fellow admins have already made statements of the nature: "It's becoming clear to me that NYS doesn't have a case for wanting this removed, under law or policy" and "The Nobel website indicates that the medals' design has not changed since 1902. So it's in the public domain. There's no need for permissions or to resort to fair use". I encourage you to take a closer look at the discussion before you decide to make unilateral edits. I would, however, like to fill you in on some important factors that have been established so far: 1) Fair use rationale is clearly not the issue here, nobel images are PD in the US since the medal was published before 1923 (hence, the image cannot be still under copyright by the Nobel Foundation). 2) The use of trademarks is allowed on Wikipedia. 3) As to the copyright of the photograph (i.e. the work being contributed) it belonged to me until I released it under GDFL. I am sure a review of the discussion will make these points clear. If you have a diverging opinion please elaborate on Talk:Nobel Prize first. Thank you. aNubiSIII ^{(T / C)} 08:42, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, but what does being an admin have to do with this subject? Neither I nor any of the other admins involved with this should be invoking some special authority or special ability to determine copyright status. I only got involved because NYScholar listed one of these images on WP:CP and I declined to delete it as a copyright violation. I don't want them removed either, I just wanted them tagged correctly. I didn't "ignore" the lengthy discussion, I just placed the correct tags on the image. I don't agree with your assessments of the situation. Copyrights only expire if their holders let them expire; Nobel is still claiming copyright on these designs. I don't agree that your photograph is a derivative work. However, all that being said, I don't care enough about it to edit war with you over it. If we receive a copyright complaint from Nobel about the images, we're worry about it then. --Spike Wilbury ♫ talk 03:43, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Edits 26.11.07

See my comment [2] at Image talk:DSCN0732.JPG. I haven't changed my view. It was just that if a certain person wants to keep reverting you, I wanted to try to get them to revert you to something at least a little bit more sane. Probably a vain hope, though.

[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Menzies.jpg

Thank you for uploading Image:Menzies.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 16:33, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
