Thank you very much. Are you the author of the original Richard Sorge article? Regards--Marktunstill 21:13, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

  • Well, I wrote the first version couple of years ago. Others have expanded it quite a bit since - Skysmith 21:45, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

I am very pleased to make your acquaintance. I am proposing some further elements to the Sorge article including some source references and I should be grateful if you would kindly let me have your comments if any. Regards--Marktunstill 22:53, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Dear uploader: The media file you uploaded as Image:Richard sorge.jpeg has been listed for speedy deletion because you selected a copyright license type implying some type of restricted use, such as for non-commercial use only, or for educational use only or for use on Wikipedia by permission. While it might seem reasonable to assume that such files can be freely used on Wikipedia, a non-profit website, this is in fact not the case.

If you created this media file and want to use it on Wikipedia, you may re-upload it (or amend the image description if it has not yet been deleted) and use the license {{GFDL-self}} to license it under the GFDL, or {{cc-by-sa-2.5}} to license it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license, or use {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain.

If you did not create this media file but want to use it on Wikipedia, there are two ways to proceed. First, you may choose one of the fair use tags from this list if you believe one of those fair use rationales applies to this file. Second, you may want to contact the copyright holder and request that they make the media available under a free license.

If you have any questions please ask at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you. —Pilotguy push to talk 21:31, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sorge and new articles

As far as I can see, you additions to Richard Sorge article are all appropriate. Unfortunately I cannot shed any light to whether Sorge was tortured or not (possible IMO but many interrogations may turn to torture). If you have any citations to either direction, you could use them.

(For other details, see here.) - Skysmith 12:12, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Getty Images).jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Getty Images).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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).

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 fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

[edit] Tenth avenue

If it's you who emailed me re Slaughter on Tenth Avenue asking about the meaning of the word hoofer, I have no idea. I just added a stub template in the page in November. Hoverfish Talk 00:18, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:GDR - Stamp Richard Sorge.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:GDR - Stamp Richard Sorge.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 06:06, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your question via email

Hi. Mailer-daemon failure when I tried to reply to your email.

According to Lonnie E. Holder, an official reviewer at Amazon.com (his profile):

"Old Jock worked as a shepherd for many years. Unfortunately, the master of the farm can no longer afford to keep Old Jock on. Old Jock heads to Edinburgh to an uncertain future, leaving his dog Bobby behind to be the dog of his master's daughter. Bobby has other ideas and follows Old Jock off to Edinburgh." (Source)

Thus old Jock had become what we in England would call a "jobseeker", his specialist trade was dying out (free roaming sheep were becoming the norm), and I suppose he was off to the big city to look for a different kind of work. Tragic really.

Thanks. Ref (chew)(do) 15:14, 26 January 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Frenkel (far right) at White Sea Canal works.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:Frenkel (far right) at White Sea Canal works.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 17:56, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
