[edit] Pic upload

Hi,

I marked your photo "N1500.jpg" you recently uploaded with the "permission" tag, as you indicated in the comments that the photo is up there with permission. Unfortunately this is not allowed on Wikipedia; our content has to be released into the public domain or licensed under the GFDL. See Wikipedia:Copyright tags. Thanks - Tempshill 21:32, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

This picture was taken by myself, and can be seen on my web site at www.video99.co.uk. I wish to release it to public domain so as to comply with the wikipedia rules, but it's not at all clear how to do this. Colin99.

[edit] SCART crosstalk

Ah, nice one. I'd always assumed that the "ghost image" was an idiosyncrasy of my TV... Fourohfour 00:28, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Betacam

Hi Colin

I found that you have edited on the Betacam article and I though to ask you something about what is stated on that article (may not be your statement but I need an advice)

The article section that talks about the speed of Betacam SP tapes states following: "Actually, tape speed is slight slower in machines working in the 625/50 format, increasing tape duration of 1 minute every 5 of nominal value. So, a 90 minute tape will record 108 minutes of images in PAL."

Wikipedia is the only place I could find so far that preciselly determines that Betacam SP PAL tapes run slower so that a 90 min tape ends up playing for 108 min. I could not find another source on this. I have talked to some technicians and although they are familiar with the concept that the tape lasts longer they could not point to exactly how long will the tape be. Do you have any experience on this. It would surely help me a lot .

Thanks --Dado 16:57, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

This isn't a change I made (I added pictures I think), so I'm afraid I can't comment. Have another look at the history to see who may have made this change. Regards. Colin99 11:11, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:Sony bmc100p.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Sony bmc100p.jpg. I noticed 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:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. 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 even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. High on a tree 15:44, 19 October 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Non-free use disputed for Image:Sony_bmc100p.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Sony_bmc100p.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted after seven days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Calliopejen1 17:04, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
