[edit] Welcome from EWS23

Hello Thracia! My name is Eric, and it is my pleasure to be the first to welcome you to Wikipedia! I hope you will decide to stay a long time and help us continue to make this one of the greatest sites on the world wide web. Here are a few useful links for you to explore:

In addition to that great wealth of knowledge, let me offer you this advice: do what you enjoy! If you enjoy contributing to sports articles, do so! If you like to correct typoes (...), write new articles, find better ways to organize articles, make useful templates, work on projects with others, or even welcome new members, do so! A happy member of our community is a productive member of our community. You can read all of the above links to the last word, or you can jump right into editing. Be bold!

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have the need to sign a page without the time and date, you can use three tildes (~~~). If you have any questions that aren't easily found with the above links, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question. Once again, welcome to Wikipedia and enjoy!

P.S.- If you'd like to introduce yourself to the community and perhaps get a question or two answered in the process, drop us a line at the new user log.

[edit] License tagging for Image:Beauty-Rousse.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Beauty-Rousse.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. 15:06, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Opera and the Philharmonic Orchestra

Hi! Your recent expansions of these topics are something I'd long been hoping to see. Thanks for the nice job. I've also noticed that you have recently added some pictures and marked them as belonging to the public domain. Are you sure that OFD Rousse have released them as such? You know, in Wikipedia, editors are always observant about copyright issues, however minor the chance may be that the copyright owner starts a lawsuit. Please reply if you know anything about the copyright status and whether an explicit permission by OFD Rousse exists. --Cameltrader 19:13, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Excellent. If you have some "document" which demonstrates their willingness to release the content to the public domain (an excerpt from an e-mail message would do), you can put it somewhere in your userspace (e.g. by creating User:Thracia/permissions/OFD-Rousse), and link to it from the picture descriptions. This is not really required, however it might help avoid some unnecessary questions, in case somebody asks. Besides, I propose that the pictures be moved to Commons, so that they can be used in Wikipedias in any language. If you need any assistance, I can help. --Cameltrader 19:47, 8 May 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Your edit to Plovdiv Philharmonic Orchestra

[edit] Message posted on Tuesday, May 8, 2007

Please do not post copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder, as you did to Plovdiv Philharmonic Orchestra. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites (http://www.geocities.com/plovdiv.geo/ in this case) or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) then you should do one of the following:

  • If you have permission from the author leave a message explaining the details on the article Talk page and send an email with the message to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia (dot) org". See Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
  • If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted under the GFDL or released into the public domain leave a note at Talk:Plovdiv Philharmonic Orchestra with a link to where we can find that note;
  • If you own the copyright to the material: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the GFDL, and note that you have done so on the article Talk page. Alternatively, you may create a note on your web page releasing the work under the GFDL and then leave a note at Talk:Plovdiv Philharmonic Orchestra with a link to the details.

Otherwise, you are encouraged to rewrite this article in your own words to avoid any copyright infringement. After you do so, you should place a {{hangon}} tag on the article page and leave a note at Talk:Plovdiv Philharmonic Orchestra saying you have done so. An administrator will review the new content before taking action.

It is also important that all Wikipedia articles have an encyclopedic tone and follow Wikipedia article layout. For more information on Wikipedia's policies, see Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Copied from the talk page of that article:

The site http://www.geocities.com/Vienna/4445 belongs to me, so I believe, that there is no problem to use the text from it. Thracia

I don't mean to be rude, but that assertion carries no weight here. What does carry weight is that the page clearly says its content is released under GFDL. So all is well, I think. -- Hoary 08:48, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
The home page is released under GFDL, but the page in question is not, so I'm replacing the copyvio tag. --Butseriouslyfolks 00:08, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Butseriouslyfolks was right and I was wrong. The top page says that it (that page) is released under GFDL. It does not say that the site is released under GFDL. And the particular page doesn't say that it's released under GFDL. So I have just now deleted the article.

I suspect that you meant well, that this was just a minor error (writing "page" rather than "site"), and that WP may seem officious. But we have to take things very literally, however silly it may seem.

If you either (i) note on the top page of your site that the entire site is released under GFDL or (ii) note on the page about Djourov within your site that the page is released under GFDL, you will be free to re-create the Wikipedia article. (And if re-creating it seems tiresome, you can ask me on my talk page and I'll be happy to re-create it for you.) -- Hoary 00:31, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Let me second that. If that text is your own work and you can clarify (or rather expand) the scope of the notice on the source website as Hoary suggests above, the copyright issue will be solved and your original contribution will be welcome. --Butseriouslyfolks 01:01, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome

to Wikipedia. When you paste new entries can you put them more into Wikipedia-style: Dimitri blabla is a Bulgarian singer ... I have done that for a few of your posts. Dirknachbar 16:31, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

But as for "pasting" new entries, please be very careful about where they're copied from. Please read the newly augmented section above about Ivailo Djourov. Thank you. -- Hoary 01:25, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
