[edit] Re: your image bot

I'm still not sure how the "logo" images fit into the puzzle. Even now, the ones you've already uploaded are elegible for deletion as orphaned fair-use images. However, feel free to seek approval at Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approvals and if approved, any administrator would be able to unblock your bot account. — May. 14, '06 [04:44] <freakofnurxture|talk>

[edit] Greetings from wikiHow founder

Hi there, I'm Jack Herrick founder of wikiHow. I admire what you have started with the how-to wiki. Any chance you will be at wikiMania in Boston? If so, it would be great to meet up and chat about how to and wikis. You can leave a note on my wikiHow talk page at http://www.wikihow.com/User_talk:JackHerrick . I'm presenting a talk on wikiHow on Fri at 4 and would be happy to chat with you any time after that or anytime on Thur, Sat, or Sunday.

I'll be sending this same note to the other co-founders of the HowTo wiki. I hope I can meet with one of you.

Best,

[edit] J-pole antenna

Hi,

This is about your image: Antenna-j-pole-diagram.png posted in Dipole antenna.

When I search the web for Slim-Jim antenna, all the diagrams I found have a descending branch. See, as an example this entry: http://www.ee.washington.edu/circuit_archive/text/fm10/archive/antennas/slim_j

Are there two different types of Slim-Jim or you have just forgotten a line?

Thanks. LPFR 14:00, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your images

Would it be possible to re-upload your images in vecor format (i.e. SVG) instead of bitmaps? // Liftarn

sorry cant


[edit] User:ZyMOS-Bot/Integrated circuit manufacturer logos

Why was this removed, specifically? logos are allowed. — Omegatron 22:30, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Logos are fair-use images and are not allowed to be uploaded on wikimedia commons, however they are allowed on wikipedia. I have about 400 IC company logos, so i need to use a bot to upload them. Uploading them manual is quite a pain.
  • Wikipedia Bots: On wikipedia A bot must be approved with a good reason to have it. My bot was not approved and baned. I asked for approval and was denied. My banned bot is User:ZyMOS-Bot.
  • Fair Use Image Usage: If I manually upload a logo it must be linked on a page within 7 days or its automatically deleted. I, of course can not link all 400 by my self, and many of the logos are of dead company's and do not have pages on wikipedia yet. I could make a temporary page with all of them linked until they can be properly used on a page, however fair-use images are not allowed on user sites, and the sandbox will not last long enough to link. Here is my denied attempt. User:ZyMOS-Bot/list_of_ic_manufacturer_logos, note my other external page is more complete, see below
  • Creating a logo article: I though about creating a actual page called IC manufacturer logos, but their is little precedent for this and is likely to get deleted, and wasting allot of my time.
  • So i gave up and put it on my wikihowto site we are proposing as a wikimedia site
  • If you want to revive the fight, I will support you. I have the script to upload them with the appropriate licenses and descriptions. I can try to re-upload them, with approval. Or I can zip all the logo images and give you the file. We can also use the updated page from the other site and i have the info on my computer to finish labeling the unlabeled logos. i just haven't gotten to it yet.
Thanks for your interest: ZyMOS 18:01, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
IC manufacturer logos is a good idea, and I see absolutely no reason why this content shouldn't be on Wikipedia. The pictures are not that high resolution, though. — Omegatron 19:30, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
Well you think its worth another try. The resolution can't be helped unless i go though each one manually, but thats what wiki is for. Gradually getting better. ZyMOS 05:43, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pidgin (software)

Gaim is not yet called "Pidgin," but the article refers to it in this fashion due to the terms of the dispute arbitration between the Pidgin team and AOL. Until its official release as the Pidgin client, please refrain from changing the name to Pidgin in the opening paragraph. Thanks, // 3R1C 18:41, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

I though they did officially change it since the page changed, the title/version says pidgin 1.5.0 and they say on the side what is pidgin. I did however notice that the source/binaries still say gaim. Well anyways, sorry, my bad. ZyMOS 05:16, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
No need to apologize, just letting you know :] You're not the first person we've asked to stop changing it. It is kind of misleading since the article's name is Pidgin, yet the client is still referred to as Gaim. // 3R1C
Hey, like I said, there's no need to apologize. You're not the only person to feel that it should be Pidgin everywhere. If you think about it, thats what the terms of their agreement are supposed to be, but I guess AOL can't change the fact that at some point the program was called Gaim, historically.

[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Conky logo.png

Thanks for uploading Image:Conky logo.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid.
