[edit] Corporate images

You're probably looking for Template:Logo. That asserts fair use. Best wishes, Meelar (talk) 06:26, May 7, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Frappuccinos in the Holy Land

You're welcome! Thanks for your work on the Starbucks article. It's great to get some non-US-centric info in there. I'm glad you decided to create an account and continue contributing. FreplySpang (talk) 14:43, 7 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Apple Store (retail)

I've added to the talk page the list of what I want to see done. —boredzo (talk) 10:12, 2005 Jun 19 (UTC)

Updated DYK query Did you know? has been updated. A fact from the article Love Israel, which you recently created, has been featured in that section on the Main Page. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently-created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

[edit] The Mike Speaks!

Just got your message Boyo... isn't wikipedia great.

I need to start writing and editing again. I feel a binge coming on. (fullerton 4 July 2005 00:29 (UTC))

[edit] URJ Camps

Count me in on the URJ Camps project. I've started a page from which to coordinate the effort at User:Joshuapaquin/URJ Camps. -Joshuapaquin 20:17, July 14, 2005 (UTC)

Hersch, I just posted some thoughts/my actions on the URJ Camps/NFTY, etc. pages on the talk page the Joshuapaquin created for camps. MKaiserman 07:50, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
For the infobox? I suggest logo, location (city), age range (if this varies), capacity?, and Director. Can't think of much else. We must be careful not to include any information that might be perceived as a potential security problem. -Joshuapaquin 01:56, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

It seems you may not be active anymore; but I wanted to let you know that URJ Kutz Camp and all the other URJ camps are up for deletion right now. If you wanted to make a comment, do so quickly - it looks like they're all going down. -Joshuapaquin 06:39, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] iMac peer review

Hi there, Hersch

I see that you've contributed to the Apple (retail stores) article. I've recently edited the iMac article and put it up for peer review; but beyond owning an iMac, and loving it, I have little in-depth knowledge on the topic, historically or technically. I wonder whether you have time to read it and add your critical comments at the peer review page? Tony 08:41, 7 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Hey Hersch

Does your adding Category:Wikipedians in Southern California to your user page mean that you are headed back this way in the near future? Or is it more of an "in general" kinda thing. Dalf | Talk 17:34, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

You can take the boy out of SoCal but you can't take the SoCal out of the boy. That, and they didn't have a 'from' SC option and I'm not exactly the best to use a 'Israeli wikipedians' tag. --Hersch

[edit] List of British Jews and Jewish Year Book

Please see the dialogue I am having with Grace Note re use of the Jewish Year Book as a valid source. I am sure that when you voted for the current policy on the List of British Jews, you intended to ensure that it was a list of people who were undoubtedly Jewish. Did you want to give carte blanche for quibbles that would allow the deletion of perfectly valid entries? Please read the talk page. Elkie Brooks was a good example, where the evidence adduced would convince any reasonable person that she is Jewish (and indeed Jayjg was convinced) but she was still deleted. (I have since found a quotation from the Jewish Chronicle and restored her.)

The persistent querying of the Jewish Year Book is another example. I don't know if you would support the deletion of the whole list, but whatever your view, given that the list exists it cannot make sense to delete several eminent undoubted Jews on dubious grounds. Please make your views known. - Newport 10:33, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Shalo'wm

שלום וערב טוב
Shalo'wm wa Elv Tov, Hersch. I do not really need help from anyone right now, with respect to Wikipedia, but I am looking for friends from Israel and the Arab Gulf (if you're interested). Just in case, this is my profile on Friendster.com:

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Bug juice.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Bug juice.gif. 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.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

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 fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and 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.

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Bug juice.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Bug juice.gif. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self-no-disclaimers}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, 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 files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 15:37, 16 May 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Orphaned non-free image (Image:Coffeebeanlogo.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Coffeebeanlogo.gif. 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 16:41, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
