[edit] Cave diagrame

I noticed the cave diagram under the Allegory of the cave article. I like it, but it may be accused of "synthesis", which is original research. I think the diagram could be defended as a summary, if it is tied directly to some text, if this is in fact your diagram. Richiar (talk) 17:13, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Got your note: there is a distinction between a summarization of a source, and a synthesis, under the guideline of no original research. A summary is where an editor in a creative way states what is said in primary and secondary sources that is verifiable. Synthesis, on the other hand, is where an editor says things that aren't really being said by the source references: they are taking things one step further and adding on their own ideas—that is original research.

After I sent you the note above, I reflected on the issue some more. I don't really know if the image you made is summarization or synthesis. I don't know enough of primary or secondary sources. I like your image; I would like to have a clearer description of how the different elements relate to Plato's metaphor. If your image resembles the elements in Plato's allegory, then everything is, in fact, fine, and I would then be in error in suggesting it to be synthesis. --Richiar (talk) 02:15, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:LincolnTheatreAuditorium.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:LincolnTheatreAuditorium.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 18:45, 15 April 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? MECU≈talk 18:45, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
