[edit] Another Copyright Query

{{helpme}}

I have a graphic I created based on a screenshot of a federal government nautical chart at [1]. What is the proper license tag?

If it was a work of the federal government of United States of America, it is in the public domain. Please consider uploading to Wikimedia Commons where they have a lot more expertise on license handlings. Kushal 18:07, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

There is a current conflict in this matter concerning an image Image:Meissner effect.jpg. I thought that might be of interest. Kushal 18:14, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Copyright Queries

{{helpme}} I wish to add pictures taken by a third party to an article. The third party, not a Wikipedia user, is willing to license the pictures as "Creative Commons Attribution Sharealike 3.0". Is this the procedure:

1. Get email from third party stating picture files named "xxx", "yyy", etc are licensed as "Creative Commons Shareablike 3.0".

2. Forward email to "permissions-en at wikimedia.org".

3. Upload file as "It is from someone else" with Licensing set to "Creative Commons Sharablike 3.0".

?????

Close. The person who owns the pictures should send the email directly to the ORTS email you have above; it should not be forwarded, so that it is easier for the ORTS staff to confirm that the message is genuine. However, you otherwise have things correct. Thanks for double-checking! Hersfold (t/a/c) 01:04, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Milo Hastings

Nice work on the Milo Hastings page, and thanks for the Project Gutenberg contributions. A fascinating character. Libertatia 19:59, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Hastings Family 1891.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Hastings Family 1891.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:

A tag has been placed on Pardee Butler, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (below the existing db tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Paul 18:04, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Article being developed tag

Hi Roger, the tags that can be used for this are {{underconstruction}} and {{inuse}}. The former one indicated that the article is being worked on, and requests that all other editors and patrols hold of any major changes or removal tags. The the latter one indicated that the article is undergoing a major edit right now, and requests that noone edits the article while the tag is in place (Don't leave that one on longer then a few hours)

Kind regards,
