[edit] Iron Ring Clock

I have deleted Image:Iron ring clock small2.jpg and adjusted the article to match. I have reverted Image:Iron ring clock small.jpg to the larger version - Wiki is very clever at automatically scaling images. Did you have the same trouble as I had with the images not seeming to update? The trick I used was: view the image by itself then click refresh. The image is called "... small" - would you be willing to let us have the "... large" version? -- RHaworth 00:54, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the image tips, this is my first editing attempt. I uploaded image:Iron_Ring_Clock.jpg, which is the full sized version of Iron ring clock small.jpg, as requsted. Burtonpe 01:40, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

Well done. Now please tell us what a Geneva Wheel is. It is nice to find people who take to Wiki naturally and do things like putting copyright tags on images right from the start. Though you could be uploading them to "the Commons" - won't you have to repeat this article in the French Wikipedia? -- RHaworth 04:16, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

Changed the wording, Wikipedia calls it a Geneva Drive instead of a Geneva Wheel. Not sure if my french is up to par for rewriting all this stuff! Been a while since I took any french. Burtonpe 13:31, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

Hi there! I'd like to invite you to explore Wikimedia Canada, and create a list of people interested in forming a local chapter for our nation. A local chapter will help promote and improve the organization, within our great nation. We'd also like to encourage everyone to suggest projects for our national chapter to participate in.

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Clock Team03.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:Clock Team03.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. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or ask them at the Image legality questions page. Thank you. Shyam (T/C) 17:27, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Iron Ring Clock

Your help is needed to find a citation for The clock contains what is believed to be the largest iron ring in the world as in integral part of the mechanism. in the McMaster University article. This is one of the things need to be addressed before the article can be renominated as a good article. Thanks 219.79.199.246 12:04, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] LOOK!

[edit] re: iron ring clock

It should be gone, right? I removed it when I closed the AfD. Make sure you're looking at the most current version of the page: [1] --W.marsh 21:54, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Picton Castle (ship)

Hi, someone just copied & pasted the original website to the article. It happened very early in the article and much newer material was intertwined, ergo the much earlier restore. This was the last section you added. Feel free to add it again to the article. It's especially better for GFDL reasons when you do that, it was your text after all. Garion96 (talk) 18:35, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

On the night of Friday, December 8, 2006, as the ship was making it's way down the east coast of North America, the ship encountered bad weather; a rogue wave swamped the ship, sweeping one of the sailors overboard. The person swept overboard was later identified as lead seaman Laura Gainey, daughter of Bob Gainey. She was not wearing a life jacket or a survival suit, but due to the warm water temperatures (22•C) she is expected to survive for up to 36 hours. However, this only means survival is likely up to the morning of Sunday, December 10, which is the time of this update. The search is ongoing, involving the Picton Castle, United States Coast Guard and Canadian Coast Guard aircraft, and merchant vessels. [2] [3] [4]

[edit] Orphaned non-free image (Image:HitlerVimy1.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:HitlerVimy1.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 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 any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 04:13, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Arapiles Pano.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:Arapiles Pano.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 21:45, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
