[edit] Phenol red

Hello, I noticed that you uploaded a version of Image:Phenol_Red.gif. The picture does not show the correct structure of phenol red; see here. Could you upload a corrected version? Thanks and cheers, AxelBoldt 20:04, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

The structures in the three links you gave me are all identical and correct, but they are different from the structure you uploaded. Furthermore, the substance can exist in two structures, depending on pH. See here. Ideally, we'd have pictures of both. Best regards, AxelBoldt 20:27, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
It turns out we already have the high-pH structure from the German Wikipedia: image:phenolrot.png, so we're fine for now; later we could upload the cyclic low-pH structure if needed. Cheers, AxelBoldt 20:52, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Reversion of edits

Earlier you reverted these edits here [1] and [2]. I was wondering if you had any particular reason why because I was following the Wikipedia:Citation templates format and updating the article. Personally I don't see any reason why these edits were reverted and would like to know why they were changed because in my point of view those edits expand on the citations used and follow wikipedia policy. SirGrant 01:45, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Oh I just read your thing at the top, if you could respond on my talk page that would be preferable. Thank you SirGrant 01:49, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
Sincere apologies. I did not intend to revert those edits. I'm not sure what happened but what seems most likely is that I was trying to revert this vandalism (using User:Lupin's Anti-vandal tool and User:Gwernol beat me to it, and for some reason the tool did not alert me that someone had already reverted it. Anyway, sorry about that. -- BlastOButter42 See Hear Speak 01:55, 2 December 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Image:Spam.png

Thanks for uploading Image:Spam.png. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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. Abu Badali 17:57, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

My Response: I have updated the image with a version that is under the GNU free license. This new version of the image meets wikipedia policy.


[edit] Spam.png

You earlier tagged an image I uploaded spam.png as violating fair use because free alternatives exist. I searched around and replaced and updated the image with a newer version. This version complies with wikipedia policy. The software shown is freely available under a free license as well as the source it was obtained from releases it's content under the GNU public license. The image and it's description can be found here. Image:Spam.png SirGrant 01:44, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Wonderful, :SirGrant. Sometimes some editors react too defensively when other users point problems in their upload, but you haven't done so. Congratulations for the good work and good reaction. Keep on the good editing. Best regards, --Abu Badali 10:49, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:TheBroken.jpg

Hi. Thanks for uploading Image:TheBroken.jpg to the commons. Just a couple of things:

  1. Images that are tagged with {{subst:ncd}} (which changes to {{NowCommons}}) should not be tagged with {{orphan image}}.
  2. JPEG images should be left in JPEG unless someone has edited them. PNG images are lossless, but if an image is already in JPEG, the damage has been done and a conversion to PNG just increases the file size.

Thanks again for your contributions! —Remember the dot (t) 01:30, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Ok thanks for the tag message. Oh actually the PNG image is higher quality. I was the one who took the image and it was originally in PNG format but I had converted it to JPEG and posted it because for a moment I had forgotten that PNG is higher quality. So I went back and posted the original PNG which is not a conversion of the JPEG but the first screenshot taken so I don't think it should be deleted. SirGrant 04:27, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
Sorry so just to clarify once again the PNG image is the original the .JPEG is the converted one. Sorry for the confusion SirGrant 04:33, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

All right, thanks for telling me that. You can get rid of the JPEG copy by adding something like {{speedydelete|This image was uploaded in error and is not used. The correct, higher-quality copy is available at [[:Image:TheBroken.png]]}} to Commons:Image:TheBroken.jpg. —Remember the dot (t) 05:24, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] William Hung

Thank you SO much for tagging that! I'm inclined to think the whole section should be eliminated. I've already cut 75% from the section, but didn't have the heart to cut the whole thing. Thanks! Cleo123 07:22, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:PGPgui1.png

True, a similar image could be created from GPG, but I don't have a GUI version of GPG, or even a working command-line version of it. So unless someone else creates a replacement image, I'm out of luck. — Loadmaster 06:24, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Kevin Rose.png and the other images

Hi SirGrant. The e-mail permission is fine, and I will now update the image description pages. Thank you for doing the permission stuff properly, and keep up the good work! By the way, the images need to be categorized (at Commons). I would like to do it myself, but I have no idea who these people are. Can you take care of it? Kjetil_r 01:30, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Silver nitrate.gif

I see you tagged this image as "orphaned, fair use", but the copyright applied isn't a fair use copyright. Thoughts? Rklawton 15:58, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

IfD isn't necessary. In the future, you can use {{db-redundantimage|replacement image name.ext}} instead. Cheers, Rklawton 17:56, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:SirGrant Saber.png

I don't think someone can hold copyright for a sword just because it's glowing... Did someone requested deletion of other lightsabres? A.J. 09:00, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

  • Your photo is pretty cool... You look like a young Jedi Master who has just made his first lightsaber and admires it in awe :) I actually put your photo in several language versions of Wikipedia that lacked ilustration for their articles. Thanks for your contribution! A.J. 09:10, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Toys like spacecraft models, action figures are copyrighted indeed, because they conatin fair amount of creativity, that's the difference. Cheers! A.J. 21:09, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Routerset.PNG

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Routerset.PNG. 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 10:36, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free image (Image:Redirectscreenshot2.PNG)

Thanks for uploading Image:Redirectscreenshot2.PNG. 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 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 any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 21:17, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Temporal isolation.jpg

Thank you for your contribution to Wikipedia. However, it has been speedily deleted under criterion Image 3 because it was noted that this is a copyrighted image that was "used with permission". Wikipedia cannot accept unfree images in that circumstance. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. --Ginkgo100talk 01:58, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WP:CVU status

The Wikipedia:Counter-Vandalism Unit project is under consideration to be moved to {{inactive}} and/or {{historical}} status. Another proposal is to delete or redirect the project. You have been identified as a project member and your input as to this matter would be welcomed at WT:CVU#Inactive.3F and at the deletion debate. Thank you!

[edit] Living With Ed

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Living With Ed, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of Living With Ed. brewcrewer (yada, yada) 00:42, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] SORRY

[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Jaglogo.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Jaglogo.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure 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 it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 23:44, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
