[edit] Pics

Hi, Jesster79. I see you've been uploading some nice photos. Do you think you could give due consideration to putting them under the GFDL instead of the more restricted {msg:noncommercial}? GFDL is far more in accordance with the project's philosophy; msg:noncommercial means, for example, that were we to produce a printed version of Wikipeida for sale, then we couldn't include your photos. GFDL is what your written contributions are covered by, so why not release your pictures under the same license? Just a thought. –Hajor 02:57, 7 May 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for the tractor picture. Gbleem 20:24, 16 May 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Open SW tasks

Will you keep the open SW tasks boilerplate text for me? I would really like it.

[edit] Talk pages

Talk pages are for discussions on improving the contents of articles. Adding your personal opinions on subjects is unlikely to lead to any changes in the article and so should be avoided. Rmhermen 03:25, Jul 12, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Check out...

what I wrote at the very bottom of Wikipedia talk:Template messages. I wrote this on a few other User talk pages, but nobody responded yet. 66.245.23.108 00:40, 13 Jul 2004 (UTC)

[edit] All in the Family spinoffs

Thanks for making separate pages to those articles. Good work. :-) Mike H 22:41, Jul 16, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Bucher

Good article. Stargoat 03:12, 25 Aug 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Image:4thElevator3.jpg

I notice you uploaded this picture and specified noncommercial-only as the license. As you may know, the Wikipedia policy on images has since been explicitly restated as disapproving of such licenses, and Jimmy Wales has said that at some unspecified date, all such will be removed. I notice you have licensed other images under the GFDL: would you be willing to make the change for this image and others? —Morven 23:11, Aug 26, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Spelling

Hi, and thanks for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that in several articles you misspelled initially as initally (for example, Dubuque, Iowa, Julien Dubuque Bridge, Saint Mary's Catholic Church (Dubuque), St. Raphael's Cathedral (Dubuque), Julien Dubuque, Twi'lek, Michael Garibaldi, Cardassian Occupation, Romulan Ale, Mara Jade, Rebel Alliance (Star Wars), etc.). It's not a big deal, but it might be a good idea to watch out for it in the other articles you work on; it might save someone like me the effort of correcting it later. Thanks, and keep up the good work! Wmahan. 04:54, 2004 Sep 5 (UTC)

[edit] Downtown Eagle Corporation

The above article was deleted by consensus on Wikipedia:Votes for deletion. Please do not recreate it. If you wish for it to be recreated, please bring the issue up at Wikipedia:Votes for undeletion. Thank you. -- Graham ☺ | Talk 21:40, 21 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] More on Tor

Glad to have helped with ol' Tor Johnson. I can sure relate with the late night thing. I'm just a couple of hours behind you in California. Thanks for writing! - Lucky 6.9 19:25, 24 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Sci-Fi Conflict Casualties

[edit] Highway oasis

Splendid work! I gess I had only seen these structures in Illinois, but I didn't know that they only exsited there and nowhere else. Thanks for your work! Fishal 16:41, 27 Oct 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Article Licensing

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 1000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

OR

Option 2
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

[edit] MST3K images

Are all these images REALLY needed? — Kieff | Talk 02:28, Dec 26, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Page moves

Hi. Please use the "move page" feature to move pages, rather than copying and pasting (page history is lost that way). Thanks. Cheers, Infrogmation 18:16, 9 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image:John Paul in State 2.jpg

I have listed your Image:John Paul in State 2.jpg for deletion on Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. silsor 00:08, Apr 4, 2005 (UTC)

Image deletion warning The image Image:Image:John_Paul_in_State_2.jpg has been listed at Wikipedia:Copyright problems because it is a suspected copyright violation. If you know that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia, please provide the necessary information.

[edit] Image:StarWarsHomeOne.JPG

Image deletion warning The image Image:StarWarsHomeOne.JPG has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. If you feel that this image should not be deleted, please go there to voice your opinion.

I've uploaded a better resized version of this image only to realize that I didn't provide the .jpg extension in all-uppercase and thus made another DB entry. One of these has to be deleted, so I believe the lowercase name is more conventional and should stay. DmitryKo 21:15, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Star Wars Wiki (aka Wookieepedia) invite

  • I believe you may be of some use to our little wiki, the Star Wars Wiki, or as many have come to call it, Wookieepedia. We need great contributors like yourself to provide a source of SW information, albeit a much better one than the Wikipedia can fully provide.

The link is Wikicities:c:StarWars. Hope to see you there.

-- Riffsyphon1024 20:07, May 16, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Stubs

Thanks for adding the Saint Mary's Catholic Church (Cascade) article. As part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting, I replaced the generalized {{stub}} tag with {{US-struct-stub}}. When you create new articles, it would be great if you could use these more specific tags whenever possible. Thanks, and continue contributing to Wikipedia! RussBlau 13:23, May 19, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image Tagging

I've nominated Image:CathedralSTLBasilicaBell.JPG for deletion because it has no copyright information and appears unused. If you have an problem with this, object at IFD. If you don't want it deleted, also add an image tag as well. Superm401 | Talk 19:23, May 22, 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for acting on this. Please don't be offended that I nominated it. I just figured it had an unknown origin and no one needed it. I'm pleased with the outcome and I'll retract my nomination. Superm401 | Talk 20:30, May 22, 2005 (UTC)


[edit] John Hancock Center Picture

I asked for discussion about your picture of the Hancock center. The discussion has been limited, but I am confident the community will agree the photo does not belong. I just wanted to let you know that I am considering removing it from the article. Please join the discussion if you think it should stay. Thanks. Badammcqueen 13:16, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for taking the picture down. And I appreciate your understanding that it wasn't a knock on you or your pictures. Badammcqueen 17:15, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] lots of edits, not an admin

Hi - I made a list of users who've been around long enough to have made lots of edits but aren't admins. If you're at all interested in becoming an admin, can you please add an '*' immediately before your name in this list? I've suggested folks nominating someone might want to puruse this list, although there is certainly no guarantee anyone will ever look at it. Thanks. -- Rick Block (talk) 14:20, Jun 17, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] W. Mark Felt

Salve!
I nominated W. Mark Felt as a WP:FAC. As you commented on the article's talk page, I'd appreciate your comments at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/W. Mark Felt. PedanticallySpeaking 14:58, Jun 17, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Eminiar VII

Did you know the entire "Visit to Eminiar" you wrote about is already detailed in the episode synopsis for A Taste of Armageddon? You should remove it and instead link to the episode since it's repeated information. Cyberia23 3 July 2005 21:22 (UTC)

[edit] eniac

Main article: ENIAC

That's ENIAC, not EINIAC. And, thanks for the super article, Vedek. Avriette 02:19, July 10, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Bourgeoisie

Thanks for editing in Bourgeoisie and its talk page. New headings on talk pages go at the bottom, not the top. This allows people to easily read how the debate transforms over time. Thanks. Fifelfoo 02:20, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Jim Nussle

The best bits are always on the talk pages. But I have edited the article for additional biographical information. I have particularly added information about Karen Chiccehitto Nussle, the second Mrs. Nussle, who deserves an article of her own.

A scandal. The wife of the President of UD gave money to Nussle. Presumably, Nussle porked some money to UD that paid his new sexy wife's salary as an adjunct-professor thereof, and considerably then some, and the University President's wife kicked-back some of it as a campaign contribution.

I'm a UD grad. I resent this Republican corruption. --FourthAve 01:58, 12 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] UD

I'm 55 years old, which makes me old UD. I have two diplomas, one from the undergraduate U and one from the theological seminary, back when we cohabitated with the Dominicans, and both degrees were free (my father was a professor); I always did have to buy my own books. A couple of days ago, I went thru the south campus of UD, the new one, the one the has no left turns to or from UD on Dodge Street. Goodness, all the security.

The fact that his wife gave money to Nussle is enough to demand that the President of the University of Dubuqe resign in disgrace. This is clear evidence of corruption. UD is not a right wing institution (rather, in my time, just the opposite). It's a good Presbyterian institution.

[edit] Noncommercial images

Hi Jesse. I noticed Image:4thElevator1.jpg, Image:4thElevator2.jpg, and Image:4thElevator5.jpg are tagged {{noncommercial}}. Perhaps you'd release them under the GFDL? dbenbenn | talk 15:00, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image:MiserableFailure.JPG has been listed for deletion

An image or media file you have uploaded, Image:MiserableFailure.JPG, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please look there to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

Replacing with Image:Miserable failure.png —jiy (talk) 19:54, September 3, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Pics from EN: to COMMONS?

Hi, I just made a danish version of en:Tractor, using one of your pics of PTO. It's quite annoying to copy pics from en:Wiki to Commons every time they are to be used on other Wikis, so it would be nice if You would concider moving things to Commons when You get the time for it? - And eventually passing the idea on to the rest of the english Wikipopulation? :-) G®iffen 20:58, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] thanks for the Traditionalist Catholic edit

Your edits were right on! We are having a bitter dispute. More editors will help end this dispute. Please consider helping. Dominick [[User_talk:dominick|<sup>(ŤαĿĶ)</sup>]] 03:56, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] {{web-screenshot}} tag

I've noticed you've uploaded some images tagged with {{web-screenshot}}. This tag is not meant to be used for images that came from Web pages; it's meant to be used for images of Web pages (such as Image:Wikipedia.PNG, for example). I've retagged the images below as having no license information. Please edit the image description pages to include information about the licenses these images are under. —Bkell 23:26, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image:2600IntCartridgeChip07052004.jpg

Hi, thanks for providing the shot but would you be able to do a re-take? I tried getting rid of the glare but was unsuccessful because it's mostly pure white. I don't have any 2600 cartridges so I can't provide an alternative myself. - Diceman 15:11, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Book of Daniel @ KWBF

I live in Little Rock, and didn't hear about the added security detail at Equity Broadcasting's offices. Do you have a good source for this? — ArkansasTraveler 19:17, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:2005ISPescapes.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:2005ISPescapes.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 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.

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you have any concerns, contact the bot's owner: Carnildo. -- Carnildo 08:03, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Question

Are you certain about "OrphanBot does not delete images." Because I went to look at the image to see what exactly the problem was and the image had already been deleted, without giving me any chance to review the image in question and see what the problem is?
JesseG 17:44, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Absolutely certain. Only a few people on Wikipedia have the ability to delete images, and OrphanBot isn't one of them. In this case, the deletion log indicates that it was deleted by CLW. --Carnildo 22:20, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

I am pretty sure the problem here is that orphanbot has not been running recently (due to a rewrite). So even though the image had been tagged as missing information for a week you only recieved the automated warning message a short while before it was due to be deleted. It is not CLW's fault you did not know about the upcoming deletion. This would not be a problem if you correctly tagged the image in the first place. Alternativley if you had a watch on the file you would have noticed when the warning tag was put on it. If the image is yours you can re-upload it, otherwise it should have had a claim of fair use. --Martyman-(talk) 03:34, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

Very nice. Thanks for the vote at RfA. I was responding here because I feel sorry for Carnildo having to respond to so many questions on his user page about the indispesable job his bot does. I do not feel I have been out of line at all in my previous comment to you. I explained why I thought the problem had occured and what might have been done to abvoid it. The number of untagged images on wikipedia is astronomical. Going through them and either correctly tagging them or marking them as lacking this info is huge job that I and others at Wikipedia:Untagged images have taken on. I do not feel it is fair of you to go lashing out at people who are just trying to clear up a (legal) mess other users have made. --Martyman-(talk) 04:08, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
And I might make it very clear that I was not aware of any message you have posted to CLW's page. I was responding to your questions at Carnildo page. --Martyman-(talk) 04:09, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

I really think I deserve an apology and the withdrawral of your vote at my RfA. You are totaly out of line in suggesting my explaination of how this missunderstanding might of occured is out of place and somehow intruding on a private conversation. This is a colaborative forum, and if you are not willing to accept posts from users you have not previously given permission to post on your talk page, then I think it is you who is in the wrong. --Martyman-(talk) 04:24, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

Yeah Jesse, you should apologise for jumping the gun and both your reasons for an oppose vote are invalid. Whoops is this a private conversation? Garglebutt / (talk) 05:00, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Further Explanation

All I was trying to do was to explain to you that it was neither Orphanbot or CLW's at fault. You still don't seem to fully understand how the untagged image process works. I will try to explain it.

  • First a volunteer goes through the huge lists of images over at Wikipedia:Untagged images. Images with no copyright/source info are tagged as such and get put in to a category that eventually leads to their deletion in one week.
  • The volunteer who tagged the image can choose to notify the uploader at this point, although recently Orphanbot has been doing such a good job often this step has been skipped.
  • Within a day or two Orphanbot runs through and removes these tagged images from the pages they are in and notifies the uploaders. (this is the bit of the proccess that was held up).
  • At the end of the week an admin goes through the category and deletes everthing. Normally safe in the knowledge that the uploader has been notified and had most of a week to fix the problem.

This proccess normally works well, occasionaly there are slip ups which I feel is quite understandable in dealing with a task this big (around 1000 untagged imaeg are uploaded a day). It is unfortunate that your image was deleted but I did not in anyway come to your page spoiling for a fight, I was just trying to explain to you why the notification step had been missed. I also suggest that in future you do as I do and leave all images up upload on your watchlist so that you can monitor them for this kind of event. --Martyman-(talk) 06:02, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:2005ISPescapes.JPG

Jesse - I assume you're referring to Image:2005ISPescapes.JPG? This image was tagged as unlicensed on 8 February and wasn't deleted until 19 February, giving more than the full seven days to update the licensing details. If the user who tagged it didn't notify you, I'm afraid you should be speaking the them, not me. But even so, if you add your images to your watch list this won't be an issue in future. Speedy deletable images are just that - speedy deletable. Contacting the uploaders of such images before deleting them would mean that the backlogs of unlicensed images would never be cleared, exposing Wikipedia to serious copyright problems. Regards, CLW 07:30, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mediation

Hi, thanks for your request at the mediation cabal. I'm your friendly mediator :)

Could you reply on the mediation page outlining where Martyman has been arrogant, condescending, and hostile as I must confess I'm having a bit of trouble spotting them. If you have any more examples they would be welcomed. - FrancisTyers 15:38, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
