[edit] Alabama Theatre

  • Great job, Lkseitz. --Dystopos 13:22, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
You think so? Thanks! --Lkseitz 14:08, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
Yes. Great to pick up on the copyright violation and plagiarism and to put some time into a rewrite. Fortunately for me, your rewrite is GFDL-licensed, so it's ok for me to swipe it for my nascent project, the BhamWiki. --Dystopos 14:25, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
Actually, I wanted to expand the entry first. It was in researching that I discovered the plagiarism. The BhamWiki project looks really interesting. I'd like to ask you some questions about it. Please send me an e-mail. You can find a link to a form to e-mail at the bottom of my user page. (Trying to avoid spam, you know.) --Lkseitz 23:14, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Alabama Theatre interior.jpg

I saw that you removed the link to Image:Alabama Theatre interior.jpg on the Alabama Theatre page because the image had been removed. Did you also remove the image itself? I just wanted to know why it was removed. Although it was copyrighted, I had received explicit permission to use the image on Wikipedia from the copyright holder and had posted such in its description (I believe). I thought this was acceptable. Am I mistaken? --Lkseitz 12:30, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

There are two broad categories of images which are allowed on Wikipedia: free content images (GFDL, the free content Creative Commons licences, and so on), and in certain limited cases, images claimed as fair use. 'With permission' images, as they are known, may only be used on Wikipedia if they are claimed as fair use in the normal way. The reason is that if only Wikipedia has permission to use the image then downstream users are restricted, but if we use the image under a claim of fair use, then downstream users can evaluate their own position and use the image if they can make the same claim of fair use.
In this case, I deleted the image (Image:Alabama Theatre interior.jpg) under CSD I6, images claimed as fair use but without a fair use rationale. See Help:Image page#Fair use rationale for details on what is required in this respect. If you can provide a good rationale then you can upload the image again, or I can undelete it if you don't have a copy. Note however that satisfying the fair use criteria is unlikely here given that the building is still there, and so it should be possible to create a free content photo of the theatre. --bainer (talk) 13:56, 16 October 2006 (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! 06:37, 4 September 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Jacks logo.png

Thanks for uploading Image:Jacks logo.png. 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) 23:45, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

  • I've been away from Wikipedia and apparently I don't have e-mail notification turned on for this page. And now I can't find out how to turn it on, as I don't see it under "my preferences". I have restored the logo with rationale. If someone can tell me how to turn on e-mail notification of my User talk page being modified, please do so. --Lkseitz (talk) 15:48, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
