[edit] Besoin de ton aide pour un article !

I'm a journalist for the Montreal daily La Presse. I've seen your intervention in the Quebec page on Wikipedia. I'm doing an investigation as to know why it is protected and what type of vandalisms occur there. Can you help me ?

Thanks !

[edit] Images

Hi Dragfyre, would you have any pictures of the World Centre that you have taken yourself that you could upload at commons.wikimedia.org on a free license? Regards, -- Jeff3000 04:43, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Sure, any requests? --dragfyre 04:49, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
Currently, many of the images at the Baha'i World Centre buildings come from media.bahai.org, which are used as fair use, but will be deleted in the near future (other fair use building pictures are being deleted left and right). We're missing good pictures of the Centre for the Study of the Texts, the ITC, the Archives, as well as many of the Pilgrim Houses. We have a free image of the Shrine of Baha'u'llah, but it's pretty low quality, see Shrine of Baha'u'llah. I would say that those are the most important. Thanks, -- Jeff3000 05:22, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
Ok. I'll see what I can contribute - I just came back from pilgrimage so I have many photos of the World Centre :) I've also noted the list you've posted at Keldan's talk page and will see if I can contribute any from that list as well. --dragfyre 16:10, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
Thanks again :) -- Jeff3000 16:17, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
I serve at the BWC, but also had the chance recently to go on pilgrimage - when was yours? I was on pilgrimage 30 October-7 November. Keldan 16:20, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
Same here. I was in the French group! --dragfyre 16:56, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi Guys, if you upload photos to commons.wikimedia.org, if you could place them in the Baha'i category or one if it's subcategories that would be great. It would allow all other Wikipedia languages to also find the images easier and use them. -- Jeff3000 16:26, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
Ok, here we go for a start... Unfortunately, I haven't got any encyclopedia-quality pictures of the International Teaching Centre :( --dragfyre 23:52, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
Thanks a lot, they're great!!. I've categorized the images on Commons, as well as placing the badname template on the duplicate image. I'll change some of the images on the articles. -- Jeff3000 00:00, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
Hey - what do you know, I found a high-quality picture of the ITC among the 800+ photos I took... I've uploaded it to Commons along with a few others, and categorized them appropriately. I wasn't sure where to place the Mazra'ih photo so I just put it under the "Baha'i places" category. Is that ok? --dragfyre 15:44, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
Great pics!! Thanks for uploading them; we're almost there to using free images :) -- Jeff3000 16:03, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
And here's more! I'll post any further images at my Commons user page. --dragfyre 23:15, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
Cool, cool!! -- Jeff3000 03:20, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Permissions

Yup, I also got permission from Arash, and got him to e-mail permissions @ commons so that it became all legit. That's why I uploaded many of his pictures. As for Martin's website, I would recommend you ask him to send the following e-mail to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org and a cc you to confirm the process.

Thanks Jeff... I've emailed this to him and he just sent the email permission off to wikimedia! --dragfyre 14:57, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Be BOLD! Really it's no big deal go right ahead. Whispering 23:22, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

lol thanks :) --dragfyre 23:49, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
Just FYI you might want to drop some sources in the article along with adding some categories and maybe a stub template as well. Whispering 01:49, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
Thanks - have done so. I'll be working on it slowly :) --dragfyre 06:20, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Salut

Hi Dragfyre. Nice addition of the pic to Sherbrooke. It's gorgeous - made me homesick. Continue donc, mon grand! Esseh 22:03, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Glad to see another wikipedian from Québec! :) So whenever you feel like talking to me, hook me up :). I have ideas for the next wikimania if you are interested... --Creamy!Talk 04:28, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
