[edit] Image:Redbuds.jpg

Hi Barfooz - Image:Redbuds.jpg is a very nice pic, but it is a cherry, not a redbud :-) MPF 20:51, 22 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyrights

Thanks for uploading Image:Paramecium.jpg. I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag. Could you add one to let us know its copyright status? (You can use {{gfdl}} if you release it under the GFDL, or {{fairuse}} if you claim fair use, etc.) If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know where you got the images and I'll tag them for you. Thanks so much, — Edwin Stearns | Talk 21:37, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Yellow fungus copyright

You've placed a GFDL tag for Image:K_1033CR08-9_Yellow_fungus_on_stalk.jpg but didn't mention the photographer (which is a violation of the license). Is it yours? If not, please note that the source you've given doesn't publish as GFDL and the tag should be removed ASAP. Thanks, --Glimz 13:44, Jan 29, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] nice touch ...

[edit] New user vanity paste

I notice that you have found out how to create articles on Wikipedia. While we appreciate contributions, please do not create an article to promote yourself, a website, a product, or a business (see Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not). Your article has been nominated for deletion as such. Thank you. -- Barfooz (talk) 02:16, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Copy and paste moves

Please use the "move" tab to rename an article rather than copying and pasting the contents. This preserves the article's history automatically and is faster and easier to use. - RedWordSmith 06:58, May 25, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] 4th Grade (South Park)

Actually, the article (poorly written as it was) is on a specific episode. -- BD2412 ^talk 15:07, 2005 Jun 6 (UTC)

[edit] Contemporary classical

Do you have any thoughts or opinions on merging Contemporary classical into Contemporary classical music? If you are supportive, would you consider posting such on the delete page? Thank you. -Acjelen 21:12, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Pic of the Day

POTD

Hi Barfooz,

Just to let you know that your photo Image:Icicles.jpg is due to make a reappearance as Picture of the Day on the 10th February. I've reused the same caption as last time, but you can make any changes at Wikipedia:Picture of the day/February 10, 2006. -- Solipsist 22:10, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Possibly unfree Image:K 1033CR08-9 Yellow fungus on stalk.jpg

Licensing says nothing about releasing under GFDL. -Nv8200p talk 16:40, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi Barfooz!

I do have a copyright request regarding your photo with clear ice.

http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bild:Icicles.jpg

In the context of a noncommercial weather natural trail I would like to image this photo on one of the plates. The visitors should become interested in meteorological themes, for free. Are there any possibilities to get this picture?

It would be kind to hear from you.

With the best regards

[edit] Picture of the Day location?

I was just curious as to where you took that photo, because I took a photo almost identical to that one up at Mohonk Lake in New York, in the winter of '04.

I'm curious too about that ice formation. Was it caused by an ice storm or by freezing fog? Thanks in advance.
