[edit] Copyright

A map from Microsoft Encarta is almost certainly copyrighted. If you alter a copyrighted work you create a derivative work, which is also copyrighted. So the short answer is that the image can't be used in wikipedia. Sorry. (IANAL etc.) Maximus Rex 21:59, 3 Jun 2004 (UTC)

One option is to print it out, trace it, then re-scan it - it's not possible to copyright the physical geography, so a map that you drew, even from reference, would not be a derivative work. I think. I am not a lawyer though, and you should not consider this legal advice. Mark Richards 21:38, 4 Jun 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Vitoria

There probably should be a disambig page at Vitoria, but the Brazilian city should be the only one that I know that's spelled Vitória, so that should be all right, right? RickK 21:45, Jun 15, 2004 (UTC)

I don't have any problems one way or the other, so if you think Vitória should be a disambig page, then please go ahead and do it that way. RickK 19:06, Jun 17, 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 2000 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] Image tag

Hi! Thanks for uploading the following image:

  • Image:ES-Municipalities-VIX.JPG

I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag. Could you add one to let us know its copyright status?

You can use {{gfdl}} if you wish to release your own work under the GNU Free Documentation License, {{PD-self}} if you wish to release your own work to the public domain, {{fairuse}} if you claim fair use of someone else's work, and so on. Click here for a list of the various tags.

If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know at my talk page where you got the image from, and I'll tag it for you. Thanks so much. Denni☯ 03:47, 2004 Dec 16 (UTC)

P.S. You can help tag other images at Wikipedia:Untagged_Images. Thanks again.
