[edit] Indians

Hey amigo. I just wanted to say that I've noticed the work you've been doing on articles about Indigenous peoples of Mexico, and to express my appreciation. Are you getting your info from the Paul Kirchoff book? At any rate, good work, and keep it up. If you have any problems or questions, be sure to let me know and I'll help out any way I can.--Rockero 19:53, 21 April 2006 (UTC)


Re: Indians I do not know who Paul Kirchoff is so that would be a no. Should I look into this book? Yes I have been working hard on various tribes of the Chichimeca Nation. Its just that everywhere I look I never seem to find that much info. about them, so why not put that info. myself, a direct descendent of them. I do have various books and I also spent a long time researching them on the internet(both English & Spanish search engines). Thats how I get my information. Hey I still dont know how to contact other people, is this how you do it? I think I find out if I dont get a message back.--Manny 22:37, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Hi Manny. Yes, this is how you contact other wikipedians, by making a comment or asking a question on their talkpage. If you didn't answer here, you could have responded on my talkpage by clicking on my name and then clicking the "dicussion" tab at the top of the page (user pages, like article pages, have an associated talkpage).
About Kirchoff, I have his name in my notes (which are not that well-organized) as the author of a recent book on the indigenous peoples of Northern Mexico. Now that I look back into it, however, I think I must have had the wrong name, because Kirchoff's work is pretty old. I'll see if I can find the author I was thinking of and I'll let you know.--Rockero 21:12, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Indigenous peoples of North America Newsletter - July '06

The Indigenous Peoples of North America Portal has been established, as a starting point for those wishing to learn more about the subject, with information and links on a wide variety of issues. It also contains news regarding the continent's various tribes and nations. It's a graphically pleasing site, and everyone is encouraged to check it out.
The project's home page has a new design, featuring tabbed subpages on participants, templates, articles, categories, and the to do list.
The Article Classification lists have been moved to their own subpage due to size. This is a sign of progress in the ongoing work of this project.
The project's talk page template has been updated, along with the classification system, to include the assessment on the talk pages of the articles that have been classified and assessed.
Balance
As the Project reaches its first six months of activity, the great effort all of you have invested in it has turned the vast information available on Indigenous North American topics from a deorganized cumulous into an excellent and easy to consult database. Although much work is still in order, few WikiProjects are able to obtain the amazing results we are proud to show today. To all of you, thank you and congratulations!
The assessment of articles within the scope of the project is still an ongoing process. We need people to help in this who are not contributors to the articles they are assessing. Also, there is the ongoing need for identifying and cataloguing articles that fall within the scope of this project. As of today, nearly 1,500 have been identified within the Project's scope.

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

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:TemerariosTesoros.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure 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 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 fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and 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.BetacommandBot 03:59, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

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

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Barreteros.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. Alx 91 02:12, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Use of picture in your Juan Aldama, Mexico article

In the copyright notice you say you're the owner of that picture, but i'm pretty sure i've seen that one in postcards and the author's name's not Manuel. You should properly name the owner of that picture and explain the fair use rationale. Thank you. 201.165.174.96Roberto

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Zacatecascoat.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Zacatecascoat.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 19:45, 7 January 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Calliopejen1 (talk) 19:45, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
