[edit] Response to your message

You wrote, "I'm not sure why you view using some content from US Army websites to describe US Army agencies as a copyright violation." The simple answer is that I screwed up.  :) I've removed the copyvio tag on the original article and the warning I gave you on your talk page (as it was placed here in error). Please let me know if I can do anything else to assist you. Cheers. -- Merope 13:59, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

("Hzoi" says: Thanks!)

[edit] WP Copyvio policies

It's well established in copyright law, as you thought, that nothing originated by the U.S. Government can be copyrighted and that the federal government does not claim copyright. There are some gray areas and exeptions though. The Wikipedia policy is at WP:PD and more specifically at Wikipedia:Public_domain#U.S._government_works Richardjames444 17:01, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

("Hzoi" says: Thanks for the cite. Sometimes saying "I could be wrong, but I think that..." is more polite than "I know you're wrong, and I shall now prove it for all the world to see...")

[edit] Blocked from editing?

Got the message today that I have been blocked from editing for repeated vandalism. Have emailed, but suspect that this is a block for my IP address (thanks, Cambrai-Fritsch proxy server).

In the long run, if there is a way to get my account from being confused with the other anonymous knuckleheads on this IP server, I'd appreciate it; meanwhile, I would appreciate being UNblocked ASAP. Hzoi 10:26, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

((unblock-auto|1=134.233.132.6|2=repeated vandalism for several days - AB|3=Can't sleep, clown will eat me))

Sorry Hzoi -- who does this IP address belong to? I'm in the process of changing the parameters to anon-only so you can edit. Can't sleep, clown will eat me 11:33, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
No problem. I believe this IP actually covers the Internet gateway for my entire community -- Cambrai-Fritsch Caserne, a US Army post in Darmstadt. My machine has a different IP address than the one that was blocked, but I'm guessing the installation as a proxy server for the main Internet gateway. Thanks for making the change, and don't worry about the initial block -- if vandalism has been bad enough to block the IP, better ot be safe than sorry. Hzoi 12:41, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Judge Advocate General's Corps, U.S. Army

Sorry about that, I ran a spell check without thinking about it, and there's apparently a redirect page that spells it "material," so it didn't come up as redlinked. Cheers, JCO312 14:39, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Not a problem! Hzoi 18:16, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use image use

Greetings. You placed Image:DCseal.jpg on Template:User Davidson. Per our policies as described at Wikipedia:Fair use criteria item #9, the use of fair use images on templates is not permitted. I removed the image from the template in line with this policy. Shortly thereafter, you put the image back on the template. I am removing the image again, as the use of such images on templates violates our policies. You are free to use free-license imagery, but copyrighted fair use images may only be used on main namespace articles, and never on templates or userpages. Please do not re-add the image, or any other fair use image, to that template or any other non-main namespace article. If you have any questions about this, I'd be happy to answer. Thanks, --Durin 17:00, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Understood; my bad. Saw the image removed and didn't make the connection to the fair use issue. Hzoi 17:03, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Davidson userbox

You can't use a fair-use image (like college logos) in that way. Please look at the other college or university userboxes in Wikipedia:Userboxes/Education/United States for some creative examples that are not copyright violations. --NThurston 17:01, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Roger, got it. Anyone else? Hzoi 17:05, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wikimania in Atlanta!

Hi! I noticed your involvement on U.S. South-related articles, categories and WikiProjects, and I wanted to let you know about a bid we're formulating to get next year's Wikimania held in Atlanta! If you would like to help, be sure to sign your name to the "In Atlanta" section of the Southeast team portion of the bid if you're in town, or to the "Outside Atlanta" section if you still want to help but don't live in the city or the suburbs. If you would like to contribute more, please write on my talk page, the talk page of the bid, or join us at the #wikimania-atlanta IRC chat on freenode.org. Have a great day!

P.S. While this is a template for maximum efficiency, I would appreciate a note on my talk page so I know you got the message, and what you think. This is time-sensitive, so your urgent cooperation is appreciated. :) Mike H. I did "That's hot" first! 09:20, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Kuwait naval force.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Kuwait naval force.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) 22:24, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] March 2008 edition of the WikiProject Germany newsletter

The Germany WikiProject Newsletter
Issue II - March 2008
From the editor

This is the second issue of WikiProject Germany's newsletter. The newsletter is intended to help all members of the project to keep up with new developments and coordinate new collaborative efforts. If you think anything should be featured in the next issue, please leave a note at the Newsdesk
Other areas where you can help
  • Assessment requests: Some open Requests for assessment need to be answered. To see new assessment requests as they come in, you can watchlist the assessment page.
  • More task forces and subprojects: As this WikiProject covers a very large topic area, it is helpful to add more task forces that focus on specific aspects of Germany. Currently, we have a Mainz task force, a Munich subproject and some joint task forces with other WikiProjects. Any project member is invited to start a new task force. Suggestions for possible topics:
    • Transportation in Germany
    • German politics (the political system of Germany and the biographies of its politicians)
    • German Democratic Republic

Be creative! If you have an idea, just suggest it on the project talk page (don't forget to watchlist it).

  • Categorization: Uncategorized Germany stubs need to be categorized
Project news
  • Cities and municipalities task force

The task force dedicated to creating and improving articles on all German cities and municipalities is happy to announce that there are now (at least) stub articles for all municipalities of Germany. Now the task force is looking for help in fleshing these out a little bit. The current phase of activity for the task force is to copy in infoboxes from the articles in German Wikipedia. If you want to help, even just for a few articles, look at the instructions and links here

  • Article Assessment:

There are now way over 26.000 articles tagged as part of our Wikiproject and many still need either an importance or a quality assessment. Also there are many more out there that do need to be tagged like approx 8000 municipalities. If you would like to help take a browse through Articles needing Importance assessment or Articles needing a basic quality assessment.
