[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Gorgas.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Gorgas.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 on Wikipedia 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. You can get help on image copyright tagging from Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags. -- Carnildo 10:24, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cuban convertible peso

You added a request for citation on the pegging to USD $1.08. Are you wanting a source for the $1.08 ? Or the pegging ? -- Beardo 05:52, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

I was thinking for the $1.08. I thought that there probably needed to be some source for this number. I mean, exchange rates are constantly changing, right? DroEsperanto 06:47, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Photosynthesis

In the Photosynthesis article, you said that including an extra six water molecules on each side of the equation was more accurate an equation than without. Could you explain this to me? I'm not protesting this; I'm just curious. DroEsperanto 01:31, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

It can be confusing. I remember in my high school textbooks when the older, "balanced" equation was used and taught. But as a biology major, I learned that in the Calvin Cycle of sugar synthesis, the six oxygen atoms that are liberated from the plant don't come from the carbon dioxide it "breathes", but actually comes from water molecules that the plant uses as a reactant in photosynthesis. Because each water molecule has only one oxygen atom, the plant will need twelve molecules to fully complete the cycle. Later on in photosynthesis, six water molecules are also products. This occurs during carbon fixation, in which the carbon dioxide is built together into a sugar molecule and hydrogen ions are used to turn reactive oxygen atoms that go flying off into useful water molecules that can be used again by the plant as soon as the cycle completes.
I hope this helps! Let me know.--Ryan! 05:38, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] New WikiProject?

Hi Dro,

A few of us are thinking about starting a WikiProject for Textile Arts, to bring knitting and all such fiber crafts under one roof, together with clothing and fashion design. A WikiProject would allow us to use the automated assessments of the Mathbot, which in turn seem important for incorporating our work into the Wikipedia mainstream. We need to find 5 editors who are interested in editing, say, one article per month — would you be willing to join? I hope so! The sign-up page is here. I can do the initial technical set-up, so that shouldn't be difficult. Hoping all's well with you, Willow 12:16, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Textile Arts WikiProject

I saw your question on Willow's talk page. You can find all articles that have been tagged for our project here. I think I got everything in Category:Embroidery as of this morning. We've tagged 230 articles already.

I've only been actively working on projects for a few weeks myself, but I have faith we'll figure this out. - PKM 02:35, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Loituma Girl GA nomination

You placed this article on hold for GA status, and I have made edits in an attempt to address your concerns. It has been sitting for a couple of days since then. Feedback would be appreciated. --tjstrf talk 20:41, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Gaia Towns screenshot.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Gaia Towns screenshot.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 14:05, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:YellowFeverMalariaGraph.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:YellowFeverMalariaGraph.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. Jusjih 02:43, 9 November 2007 (UTC)


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

Thanks for uploading Image:Cinqieme as.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 within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 20:18, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
