[edit] Image Tagging Image:Norwalk1957.jpg
 |
|
Thanks for uploading Image:Norwalk1957.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. 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 unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Shyam (T/C) 18:07, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] WikiProject Southern California
Welcome to WikiProject Southern California. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me or one of the other regular participants. If you want, add the project's main page to your watchlist so you can see any changes, or see any discussions going on on the talk page. There are several pages that are transcluded onto the main project page, so if you want to watch those pages, you'll have to add them to your watchlist individually.

[edit] What Is This?
I'm unsure of how long Flea was in What Is This? or how much, if any, of their recordings he actually played on. If i knew more, maybe i would feel more of a need to protest the category deletion from Flea's article, but right now, i'm unsure if it would even be worth the effort. For the time being, i simply have better things to do on wikipedia- there are A LOT of wikipedia articles that badly need A LOT of work done on them. Gringo300 20:05, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Hawaiian Gardens, California
Someone actually reads my edit summaries! Irving Moskowitz really deserves to have his own article, considering how controversial he has been both in Hawaiian Gardens, California and in Israel, but I'm don't think I want to be the one to write it. ;-) BlankVerse 08:51, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Copyright issue with Rancho Los Nietos
Hello. Concerning your contribution, Rancho Los Nietos, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from either web sites or printed material. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://www.rancholoscerritos.org/history.html. As a copyright violation, Rancho Los Nietos appears to qualify for speedy deletion under the speedy deletion criteria. Rancho Los Nietos has been tagged for deletion, and may have been deleted by the time you see this message. For text material, please consider rewriting the content and citing the source, provided that it is credible.
If you believe that the article or image is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) then you should do one of the following:
-
- If you have permission from the author leave a message explaining the details at Talk:Rancho Los Nietos and send an email with the message to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia (dot) org". See Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
- If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted under the GFDL or released into the public domain leave a note at Talk:Rancho Los Nietos with a link to where we can find that note.
- If you own the copyright to the material: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the GFDL, and note that you have done so on Talk:Rancho Los Nietos.
However, for text content, you may want to consider rewriting the content in your own words. Thank you, and please feel free to continue contributing to Wikipedia. Butseriouslyfolks 08:32, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
- Interestingly enough I did not even use the page http://www.rancholoscerritos.org/history.html which I am accused of plagerizing, although there are only one way you can say "Rancho Los Nietos was a Spanish Land Grant". In fact it's quite possible that http://www.rancholoscerritos.org/history.html is copied from the California State Historical Society where I did obtain the information and is strictly in the public domain. The Article was further only a stub which I had just created. I think you and your bots should spend a little time reading Avoid_Copyright_Paranoia. Gohiking 19:17, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cudahy
Get stuffed. The only thing wrong with my Cudahy, California edit is that you don't like it. Some people can't handle the truth. (unsigned on 13:44, 23 March 2007 by Perspixx (talk)
- I have to disagree with you completely. Your statement was completely inflamatory and bias and a fundimental rule of Wikipedia is the elimination of bias. Using words like "dominate", "dictatorship", and "corrupt" may be fine for a newspaper article, but without more sources, are improper in an encyclopedia. Gohiking 17:47, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Aabpritsker.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Aabpritsker.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. 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 you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MER-C 13:08, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] An important letter
Dear roads editor,
You may have noticed some changes at WP:USRD lately. Some of them, like the cleanup templates and the stub templates, have been astounding and great. Unfortunately, others have been disturbing.
This has become evidenced by the departure of a few prominent editors at USRD, a few RFC's, and much fighting among USRD editors.
After the second RFC, many of us found the opportunity to take a step away from Wikipedia for a while--as a self-imposed wikibreak, or possibly on vacation.
The result of such introspection was that many of us were placing ourselves in a "walled garden" and on a self-imposed pedestal of authority over the roads department. Also, we were being hostile to a few users who were not agreeing with us.
In fact, IRC has been the main incarnation of this "walled garden." Decisions have been made there to conduct grudges and prejudices against a few valued USRD users with poor justification.
For this, we have come to apologize. We have come to ask your forgiveness.
In addition to this, we hope to work as one USRD team from now on and to encourage cooperation instead of the promotion of interests.
All users are welcome to collaborate on IRC, the newsletter, or anywhere else at USRD.
In the future, please feel free to approach us about any issues you may have.

[edit] WP:CVU status
The Wikipedia:Counter-Vandalism Unit project is under consideration to be moved to {{inactive}} and/or {{historical}} status. Another proposal is to delete or redirect the project. You have been identified as a project member and your input as to this matter would be welcomed at WT:CVU#Inactive.3F and at the deletion debate. Thank you!

[edit] USRD Inactivity check and news report
Hello, Gohiking. We had a few urgent matters to communicate to you:
- Please update your information at Wikipedia:WikiProject U.S. Roads/Participants, our new centralized participant list. Those who have not done so by October 20th will be removed.
- There are important discussions taking place at WT:USRD relating to whether WP:USRD, WP:HWY, or the state projects should hold the "power" in the roads projects.

[edit] California photo requests now by County
I saw your name at Photo Matching Service. I just spent the past few days moving all the California photo requests into County categories to make it easier for photographers to locate requests in the locations where they take photos. If you haven't already done so, please consider monitoring and adding your name to the list at Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in Los Angeles County, California.

[edit] AfD nomination of Lil Cuete
An editor has nominated Lil Cuete, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lil Cuete and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 13:59, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
