[edit] Colin Angus

Thanks for cleaning that up. --kingboyk 11:30, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] David Gorcey

Good catch on my faux pas on userfying this...In NP Patrolling, I saw the article name, user name, and came to the wrong conclusion. My apologies, and thanks for covering my six. Akradecki 19:00, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Poppy quarter image

I'll look for a free image. In the meantime, hold off on any deletion action. Even better, if you know of a free image, replace this one and ask the administrators to delete/hide-from-public-view the previous versions. davidwr 09f9(talk) 17:13, 7 May 2007 (UTC) I also dispute the validity of the copyright of "mere photos" of works of art, including coins. The US Supreme Court has ruled that simple photos of public-domain artwork does not entitle the photographer to any copyright protections. IANAL but the same logic should apply to works that are under copyright: The original copyright, if any, remains intact, but the photograph does not enjoy any additional copyright protection. AFAIK, coins are either in the public domain, copyrighted by the country or mint that makes them, or by the original designer. davidwr 09f9(talk) 17:29, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

  • Hi David, I flagged it because I believe that the photographer may have copyright on the image, not the coin itself. IANAL either, so it's probably best for others here at Wikipedia to pass judgement when they review it. You should make your arguments for keeping the image on the talk page of the image, so that they will be seen when the image is reviewed. Rawr 17:53, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

I recognize your good work and contributions, sorry for jumping to conclusions. Jasonid 04:42, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

our source for the record high for the Canadian dollar did not mention the price you quoted.Anyway,it is better to use the bank of Canada website, so that is what I put. Rodrigue 19:43, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Telus.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Telus.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 15:02, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Telus Article - History Section

I have removed, for the 2nd time, this unsourced paragraph. Simply adding it back with a "citation needed" tag is inappropriate. The most basic of Wiki policies is you must quote a valid source when adding information. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Markbaker2 (talk • contribs) 00:21, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
