[edit] Re vandalism

Thanks for letting me know. I will watch, hopefully the warnings were enough. Thanks again.--Dakota ~ ° 02:01, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pictures

Hello,

I found a picture of the composer Aaron Copland from the Library of Congress website (government). It was uploaded and I said the source was from the government being the Library of Congress.

It was deleted for some reason however stating that there was no copyright status on the picture.

How do I upload pictures then?

Thanks.

[edit] Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tom Hawkins

  • No I have been clear enough he is not notable so it does not warrant an article this isnt a unusual opinion. Mike Beckham 19:40, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Private Information

I received a message from you asking me not to release Private Information about a member that they have not chosen to share on Wikipedia. I am wondering whether that information applies when someone is an editor of a magazine and uses their Wikipedia identity to delete information about a rival publication under the cloak of anonymity?

He has admitted his identity fully on another website when this information came to light and therefore, the revelation of his identity was relevant to the discussion as it showed that edits were being carried out because of personal agenda and bias. Thank you for your time, CrimeBuff.

[edit] The Midway Sightings

I went and corrected it; I had thought there was a speedy tag for blatant advertising done in less than 48 hours, but I turned out to be incorrect; by that time, I'd hit the return key on accident. I'm still looking for info that may cooborate this as either advertising or part of a alternate reality game.--み使い Mitsukai 02:46, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you

I knew that fair use images need to be used in some article...But some how got annoyed when I saw Albert Ekka’s stamp was deleted. He was one of the unknown soliders who became popular only after his death. I believe that there are no images of him in public domain and all are borrowed from the Indian Army’s Website.I still novice in viewing version histories.. So I was under the impression that there could have been some issues with the bot. I apologize. Thank you for your help and clarification.... Have a great day... bye....IndianCow 08:29, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image Tagging for Image:Spore_print_sheet_png.png

Hi Martyman.

Yes, my mistake - I created the png from an earlier jpg image - the jpg was in the 'images for cleanup' category. I seem to remember the jpg original was uploaded by User:Rafti Institute and added to the article [[1]] by them - a number of their images had 'ifc' tags and I edited several of them back then. I can't think why I didn't add the name of the original uploader to the page, unless it was because I was having trouble with a slow Wiki and then forgot to come back!

BTW, the file it was based-on was Image:Spore print sheet.jpg but it appears to have been deleted.

Regards, Ian Dunster 11:57, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

Well, I can make the image smaller and degrade it slightly, so that it would be usable under 'fairusein' but I'm not sure that that would be of much use without having a proper source for the original image. Ian Dunster 13:13, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Image legality questions

Hi, we started a new page at Wikipedia:Image legality questions, pretty much the same thing as the old Orphanbot help page just not in user space, also {{image source}} and {{image copyright}} link there, if you want to keep helping that would be great :D - cohesiont 06:45, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Personal Attack

Could you have a quick look over at Cigammagicwizard's talk page. They appear to be getting into an argument with CyberGhostface over Saw III and it's degrading into a slanging match. I tried to make CyberGhostface relax a little but they've paid no attention. Thanks. (Pally01 21:15, 12 April 2006 (UTC))

Could you have a quick look over at User Talk:CyberGhostface. They have blanked part of their discussion page. Cheers. (Pally01 12:56, 25 April 2006 (UTC))

[edit] Maps

Hi, avoiding writing, so I'm working on the Wiki. I was wondering if you'd be able to change the labels on this german map Image:Nauru-Hauptkarte.png to english, this map would be useful as a guide Image:Nauru map.jpg. Thanks. --nixie 08:17, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi Martyman. I have started a proposal at Portal talk:Australia for an inclusion of an anniversary/on this day section to be displayed on the portal. If you are interested in this making this happen, you can comment there or go to the anniversary pages and adding in things that you consider to be notable. Regards, ~~

[edit] Climatic Map of Australia

Hi, I just noticed your map of Australia's climatic zone - looks good. There seem to be a couple of minor short comings however.

This map http://www.bom.gov.au/cgi-bin/climate/cgi_bin_scripts/clim_classification.cgi illustrates that the area in far northern N.T. experiences an equatorial climate and that the area in south west Wa has a temperate climate.

[edit] Locator Map

Hey Martyman, I used your locator map and edited it to mark Amity Point. I hope you are okay with this and if not, could you please make a map showing its location.

Cheers, Gavin_sidhu

[edit] canberra images you have taken

Hi There Martyman, I was searching over google and have come across from brilliant photography of yours, such as mount ainslie, and the great panorama of lake burley griffin. I am organising a vehicle car show for 2007 known as "Shannons Wheels Expo", and i was interested in using one of your photographs for some flyers i was making up to help advertise the car show. It is 100% non profit, and supports local charitys, if you would like more information, visit http://www.actmotorclubs.org.au/go/shannons-wheels-expo Let me know if this is okay, my email address is Chris.Faulkner@streetrides.org.au Regards, Chris

Martin says yes, though I think I might have taken those -- but luckily I say yes too. John.Conway 11:56, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Diagrams/maps

Hi there Martyman, I noticed you have created a lot of maps/diagrams for wikipedia. Can I ask why you have chosen to use the PNG format instead of SVG? I'd like to help out with some maps as this is something that Wikipedia is patchy with at the moment. Also, what do you use as a basis for your maps? Do you trace existing maps? How do you do it? Just wondering.. :) Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 15:16, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Maps

Hey!

I really like your maps of Australia, but could you produce some maps of the individual states at a reasonable size? We need each image to be 230px wide for use as a locator map. I assume you still have the original illustrator files. If you want, it may be easier, you could give me the files, and I can then build the state images.

Thanks anyway, TheJosh 07:51, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image Data

In November 2005 you created the image Canberra timeline-MJC.png. This graph has been tagged into the Collaboration to convert graphs to SVG. Do you have the actual population data that was used to create this graph? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! --W. Flake ( talk | contribs ) 03:19, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Yarralumla IBMap-MJC.png

Can you add the town name to the map? Right now it looks like the red spot is South Canberra. ~ trialsanderrors 10:32, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Can you provide a descriptive legend for the map?--JWSchmidt 19:35, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Use of FGDL on a picture by you

I am glad to report that I succeeded in uploading my first image on Commons with your Image:Homopolar anu-MJC.jpg under your FGDL license. This is in my work of translating into fr: the article en:Mark Oliphant. In fact I find this apparatus really crazy ... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Trassiorf (talkcontribs) 22:01, 17 February 2007 (UTC).

[edit] licensing of a derivative work of one of your maps

Hi Martyman, I've used your Tasmania locator map in this image. As the locator map is now pretty small and the other part of the map is public domain, I'm wondering if you would agree to drop the GFDL license on the derivative work? If so, could you simply change the license of that image to PD using your Commons account (to signal your "okay")? Thanks (whatever you decide), Ibn Battuta 16:05, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Another map

Do you want to put this to common ?, with out the text, it was great. thanks —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.72.5.209 (talk) 14:38, 8 May 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Got an original version of an image?

Hi, I noticed that you were the author of an image, Image:Tasmania locator-MJC.png, using Adobe Illustrator. Is there a chance that you could either upload an SVG version or email me a vector (.ai preferably) copy to convert to SVG? That (SVG) format would be much more useful, especially given the current construction of Portal:Australia portals. Thanks, Nihiltres{t.l} 04:37, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Canberra Population Timeline - Converting to SVG

Hello Martyman;

I am currently working on rebuilding your Canberra Population Timeline graph in SVG. From the Australia Bureau of Statistics, I got data for the past decade. However, I have not found statistics before 1991. If possible, I kindly ask for a listing of the data used in your graph. Alternatively, I would be happy to recollect the data myself, if you could point me toward your sources.

have a nice day, Ordoon (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 20:28, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hi

Hi Martyman, I am currently working on the article Channel Deepening Project. I was wondering if you could create an animated gif for me similar to Image:2003_bushfire_progress-MJC.gif this one (that you created) to display the dredging areas in Port Phillip.

This would probably be the main source: [3].

Thanks alot, any help or advice would be much appreciated.Davido321 (talk) 05:56, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
