[edit] Cheery Nappy

(nappy is english for diaper - how unfortunate!). I assume these edits were you - please always log in before editing. We only upload images once - the Mediawiki software is very good at resizing. I hate to pick you up on the licence point - I have seen numerous cases of people who upload ripped off images and blatantly claim they made them. But you have been perfectly honest about Image:Chiara nappi.jpg, even so I have had to remove the {{self2}} tag - Kirk T. McDonald still has copyright despite your edits. But contact him - there is an e-mail address at the bottom of this page. Chances are that he will be happy to let Wikipedia use the image providing he is credited. He might even volunteer to walk across the campus and take a specific picture for you! -- RHaworth 01:18, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

I assume your edit to the image description was a mistake - please follow my advice above. I forgot to say above that the default in all publishing is to assume the work is copyright unless a specific copyright release is given. -- RHaworth 01:23, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Hello RHaworth (Rita Hawort ??)

I followed your advice and contacted Dr. Kirk T. McDonald, who through email gave me WRITTEN PERMISSION to use his image.

I then have slighlty modified the originale picture, resizing it and adding red color.

The correct copyright tag, then now should become this:

The base work this work was based on is in the public domain. It has been digitally enhanced and/or modified and uploaded here. This derivative work has been (or is hereby) released into the public domain by its author, Kirk T. McDonald. This applies worldwide.

In some countries this is not legally possible; if so:

Kirk T. McDonald grants anyone the right to use this work for any purpose, without any conditions, unless such conditions are required by law.

BTW: I then have added the image tag in the page i was creating, but the image does not appear online (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiara_Nappi).

Do you know why?

What should I do to have the pic visible on the page I am writing on?

[edit] Chiara Nappi

You don't need to be upset about the nomination for deletion. Anybody can nominate anything for deletion at any time. It doesn't follow that the page actually gets deleted, and it is very unlikely that this one will be. :-) Look at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Chiara Nappi - so far everybody except the nominator has recommended that the page be kept. Your time is better spent on other things than arguing with Cyclopia about this. (And BTW, I think Wikipedia already has an article on Cicciolina...) up+l+and 18:58, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Hello Uppland. You liked my bit on Cicciolina, didn't you? Personally, I also loved the one on Rocco Siffredi, another famous italian pornstar... Btw: with all this italian stallions, someone MUST talk about their famous scientists.. otherwise one could think that in italy they are only capable of making love and nothing else... ah ah ah !! --User:J_mcandrews

[edit] Please stop personal attacks

Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on the contributor; personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks may lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. --Cyclopia 23:22, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

alright, alright. bye bye --User:J_mcandrews

[edit] Too many links

Hi. I appreciate your desire to help editing, but adding redundant wiki links (i.e. linking the same word multiple times on page, much less in a single section) as you did with Manhattan Project is NOT correct. See our manual of style entry on overlinking. It is unnecessary and it is not very helpful to readers. --Fastfission 16:49, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Loose Change directors/producers

Given the overlap between these articles and what I see as needless article proliferation, I've proposed a merge of the three articles to Louder than Words. Feel free to weigh in at Talk:Louder than Words. I really feel Dylan, Korey, and Jason are not noteworthy enough to merit their own articles, but I wouldn't mind the material being preserved on the studio's article.--Rosicrucian 20:58, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vitra

Sorry, but I had to undo your work on Vitra, as the article you created on the Turkish Vitra company fell afoul of WP:CSD#A7. When you try to disambiguate a page next time, you should not move its content per copy-paste to a new target, as this destroys the version history. You should move it instead. Thanks, Sandstein 06:24, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

You have been temporarily blocked from editing in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for violation of WP:NPA (diff). Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make constructive contributions. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below. Sandstein 20:46, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

On the merits, there is no need for a disambiguation page since there is nothing to disambiguate until this other company has an article (for which it needs to meet WP:CORP). Also, do not move articles per copy-paste. This violates the GFDL. Please read WP:MOVE. Sandstein 20:46, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free image (Image:RossLovegrove2.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:RossLovegrove2.jpg. 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 02:02, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Cassina.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Cassina.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes 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 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. Sfan00 IMG 15:13, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

I provided a rationale for this image. You might use a similar rationale for the other tagged images. -- Petri Krohn 23:40, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the external links you added do not comply with our guidelines for external links. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings.

[edit] Joe Cesare Colombo

I see that you've made many improvements of the article. I would suggest that you use the image of the cabriolet bed available on commons Image:Cabriolet Bed.jpg. Unfortunately I think I cannot use in the French version, the pictures of Joe you included in your article. Regards. Chouca.

Hi! Thanks for your message. We have worked on the same subjects : I have done the French articles on Castiglioni, Magistretti and Compasso d'Oro. Regarding Castiglioni, I have to read the English version to complete the French ; you can complete your article with one photo of the RR216 that is on Commons. I have also established a list of the main prizewinners of Compasso d'Oro. I see that you studied Space engineering. I am working in this field. Regards. Chouca.

[edit] Sarcasm

Sarcasm is not exactly WP:Wikilove. Anyway, no harm. But, by the way, I didn't win Pulitzer but I've won a literary prize, as in the photo in my userpage. Ciao and good work. --Attilios 00:55, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Superarchitettura.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid.

[edit] Politecnico di Milano

Hi J, you may wish to change your user page to reflect that the Politecnico di Milano article now bears the Italian name and not any funny english translation ;) --Raistlin (talk) 13:12, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
