He had numerous positions throughout his life, both local and national. He served as President of the Los Angeles City Library Commission and as a member of the U.S. Indian Commission.
== Copyright question, needs interpretation. ==


Dockweiler was defeated in the August 31, 1926 Democratic primary for the U.S. Senate nomination for California, losing to John B. Elliott. Elliott was the contestant sponsored by the then former U.S. Treasury Secretary William G. McAdoo.

== Image:Gulf.png ==


On January 26, 1955, the California State Parks Commission renamed the Venice-Hyperion Beach State Park in Playa del Rey to the Isidore B. Dockweiler Beach State Park. Dockweiler served as a member of that commission from 1939 until his death.
Hello, Howcheng. I have two questions, both related to [[:Image:Gulf.png]].


Dockweiler, a Catholic, was awarded Pontifical knighthood as a Knight of Saint Gregory for meritorious service to the Catholic Church.
First, I uploaded this PNG version to replace a JPEG, [[:Image:Gulf.jpg]]. When I did this, I copied the fair-use rationale from the image description page for the JPEG, reasoning that if the JPEG qualified as fair use, then the PNG would too. Now I realize that I would like to minimize my association with the fair-use claim for this image, so I would like to say who wrote the original fair-use rationale that I copied. Unfortunately, the JPEG has since been deleted. I can see from the [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=&user=&page=Image%3AGulf.jpg log] that [[User:JetsLuvver|JetsLuvver]] was the original uploader, but I can't tell what copyright claims were made at the time of the original upload and who wrote the rationale. Would it be possible for you as an administrator to retrieve the history of the image description page, so that I can give a more complete history of who has made what claims?


Father to Congressman John Francis Dockweiler.
Second, I have removed this image twice from [[Betelgeuse incident]], because I think the image fails point 8 of the [[Wikipedia:Fair use#Policy|Wikipedia fair-use policy]] by contributing nothing significant to the article. Both times the logo has been restored, so I brought up my concerns at [[Talk:Betelgeuse incident#Gulf Oil logo]]. I would appreciate your opinion on this issue.


He was interred in Calvary Cemetery (New Calvary Catholic Cemetery) in East Los Angeles.
Thank you for your help. —[[User:Bkell|Bkell]] ([[User talk:Bkell|talk]]) 07:46, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

== FPC Closing ==

Cheath4.jpeg was obviously supported enough and the nomination was 9 days old. Plus that who doesn't like to see his nominations are promoted? But that doesn't mean I'll promote something that is obviously not supported. And I still think that the picture Yummyfruitbar didn't promoted was actually supported enough. You can say whatever you want, but that's what i think. Although your comment wasn't rude at all it had no point except telling me that your an amateur who wants to promote his own images. Anyway, I don't care about it and i really want to take break from wiki and concentrate at my study. Thank you for any other reasons and have a nice day.

I was going through the IFD pages for September 5 and found some entries that weren't deleted. They weren't kept, either, as the IFD tags are still on the image description page itself. So what's a happening here? [[User:Hbdragon88|Hbdragon88]] 06:30, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

== POTD caption ==

Hello Howcheng - I took another pass at editing the symmetry group caption for the main page. If you have a moment, I'd appreciate your thoughts or edits of the new version: [[Wikipedia:Picture of the day/October 26, 2006|October 26, 2006]]. [[User:Debivort|Debivort]] 19:17, 26 September 2006 (UTC)


== hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ==
Well I think you look like a disembodied dog head... ;) just kidding it was my first pic that i uploaded i just wanted to see the reaction it would get.

==Canada Goose==

I disagree with you lifting the protection on this article - but I'll let it rest for now. The user concerned, Ebnaumann, has contributions consisting almost entirely of the same edits to this article (Canadian Goose instead of Canada Goose) and has ignored all discussions and reversions. I chose to protect the page to put an end to this.

Although it is true that I am involved in editing this page, there is a clear consensus on this, it's not just a difference between two editors, where to protect would be wrong.

I'm not a great subscriber to the "let the vandals play philosophy" so beloved of wikipedia, but in this case I thought that protecion was preferable to blocking the perpetrator. [[User:Jimfbleak|jimfbleak]] 19:04, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

== Draft/Ramakrishna ==

Per your comment, and because it was not being used, I deleted the "Draft/Ramakrishna" page. In general, draft pages should not be in the main article space, but rather should be created as subpages of the talk pages. Cheers, -[[User:Will Beback|Will Beback]] 23:46, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

== Watermark Remove ==

Thanks for removing that watermark on Very Vivid Flower. The pic is by me, and it would have looked worse if ''I'' had removed the watermark.

P.S. How did you remove it?, and I feel bad that your cat died. Your cat was very cute.

== POTD column format ==

Hi Howard,

I noticed you adding the placeholders for the column format of POTD to [[Wikipedia:Picture of the day/November 2006]]. Is the column format being used at all these days? If I recall, we introduced the column layout back in ~April during the redesign that put POTD on the MainPage for the first time. The redesign working group needed the column format to test alternative MainPage layouts. Now that it has settled on a layout that uses the row version, I suspect no one actually uses the column format anymore. -- [[User:Solipsist|Solipsist]] 22:00, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
:The column format is still used in the alternate Main Page layouts, accessible from [[Wikipedia:Main Page alternatives]] and it's transcluded on a few user pages as well. It's in very low demand, but it's there, and it only takes me a few seconds to create anyway. <span style="font-family:Verdana;">'''[[User:Howcheng|<span style="color: #33C;">howch</span>]][[WP:EA|<span style="color:#0F0">''e''</span>]][[User:Howcheng|<span style="color:#33C">ng</span>]]''' <small>{[[User talk:Howcheng|chat]]}</small></span> 22:07, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
::Ah so that's what happened to all the MainPage designs that didn't make it past the winning post. I must admit, I rather felt the final design remained conservatively similar to the previous version. -- [[User:Solipsist|Solipsist]] 22:17, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

== Unsourced image on ifd ==

Hi, Howcheng. With all due respect, could you revise and provide some rationale for [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Images_and_media_for_deletion/2006_September_22&diff=prev&oldid=79285448 not deleting] [[:Image:Callistohudson.jpg|this image]] on ifd? I understand it's a hard decision taking process to arbitrate such discussions, and I plan to respect your decision. But I fear this case may represent a dangerous precedent for upcomming cases.

As stated on the ifd disscussion, the image lacks source information (it is only know that it once appeard in a magazine and that it very likely belongs to ''Universal Television''). And as it's simply used to illustrate a tv-series character, it could be easly replaced by a screenshot showing this character (whose source and copyright holder would be the series and it's producer, the publishing date would be the airing date, etc.).

This image was at first tagged as {{tl|promotional}} (the most heavly abused unfree image tag) and is now tagged as {{tl|fairusein}}. With this case as a precendent, I fear that future unsourced {{tl|promotional}} images will be changed to {{tl|fairusein}} when contested, making it even harder to control fair use abuse in Wikipedia.

Thanks in advance for your attention. Best regards, --[[User:Abu badali|Abu Badali]] 18:47, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
:I thought it was made clear in the discussion that this is a derivative work containing a screenshot from the episode "Return of Callisto", right after Callisto kills Perdicas and Xena arrives.

::I re-read the discussion and could not find any such claim.

== Thierry Henry photo ==

How should I tag these uploads? If they are not promotional. I was just trying it out and I thought promotional was the right one. Some feedback may interest me =) thanks [[User:Cs-wolves|Cs-wolves]] 07:36, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
:The problem here is that Wikipedia has a very strict policy regarding fair use images ([[WP:FUC]]). See criteria #1: "No free equivalent is available or '''could be created''' that would adequately give the same information" (emphasis mine). In this case, a photo of a living person who is constantly in the public eye should not be that difficult to get. Anyone who attends an Arsenal game should be able to get a photo of Henry. Get there early for training, stay late to wait for the team to leave, whatever. I'm sure he makes public appearances in and around London for autograph signings or team events too, so getting a photo is not impossible (see [[Arsène Wenger]] and [[Dennis Bergkamp]]). So I don't really have an answer to your question because you shouldn't even upload these images in the first place.

== Wikipe-tan ==

I'm at a loss as to how Wikipe-tan ended up on the [[Wikipedia:POTD row/October 2, 2006|front page]] of Wikipedia on October 2. The front page, moreso than most other parts of the encyclopedia has very strict notability requirements. Yet somehow an image of something entirely non-notable ended up on the front page? Wikipe-tan is already unknown to most Wikipedians, and I can assure you virtually no one out there in the real world knows of it. The point is, POTD doesn't have notability requirements like, say, articles. That's okay, because not all pictures are necessarily part of the encyclopedic content. But we need to keep this in mind and make sure we exercise appropriate judgement when deciding which images should be on the front page. All featured articles would be appropriate for the front page. This is not the case with featured images. Do you understand my point? --[[User:Cyde|<font color="#ff66ff">'''Cyde Weys'''</font>]] 21:35, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
:I think you're missing an understanding of how images get promoted to featured status. There may not be a notability requirement for images, but per [[WP:WIAFP]] Featured Pictures need to be representative of an article and be the whole "picture worth a thousand words" thing. Sometimes the images themselves are indeed notable, such as [[:Image:View from the Window at Le Gras, Joseph Nicéphore Niépce.jpg]], the first photograph ever. Sometimes they have enough emotional impact on their own despite not really representing a topic very well, such as [[:Image:TamarackMiners CopperCountryMI sepia.jpg]] which was paired to [[Mining]]. In the majority of the cases, however, images get promoted because they are well executed and illustrate a particular concept well, which is what we have here. Wikipe-tan is a prime example of (and happens to be one of the few, if not the only one, that is also available under a free license) [[moé anthropomorphism]] and you'll notice that the POTD blurb focuses mostly on this concept. The image qualifies under all the criteria set in [[WP:WIAFP]] and all FPs are to be PsOTD eventually, so that's how Wikipe-tan ended up on the Main Page. One question -- if for some reason this had been an [[OS-tan]] or [[Moezilla]] that got promoted to FP status, would you even be raising these concerns? <span style="font-family:Verdana;">'''[[User:Howcheng|<span style="color: #33C;">howch</span>]][[WP:EA|<span style="color:#0F0">''e''</span>]][[User:Howcheng|<span style="color:#33C">ng</span>]]''' <small>{[[User talk:Howcheng|chat]]}</small></span> 22:03, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

==Stitching==
Hello, You have made several comments about poor stitching on a picture that I placed on the WP:FPC. I've been using photo shop to stitch. I've tried a couple of different programs: Autopano-Hugin-Enblend which have yielded poor results. Do you have any suggestions? What do you usually do to stitch together images?

:I don't -- I've never stitched photos to make a big panorama pic. You should talk to [[User:Diliff|Diliff]]. <span style="font-family:Verdana;">'''[[User:Howcheng|<span style="color: #33C;">howch</span>]][[WP:EA|<span style="color:#0F0">''e''</span>]][[User:Howcheng|<span style="color:#33C">ng</span>]]''' <small>{[[User talk:Howcheng|chat]]}</small></span> 20:03, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
