Welcome to WikiProject LGBT studies!

Hi, Moni3, welcome to WikiProject LGBT Studies! We are a growing community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to identifying, categorizing, and improving articles of interest to the LGBT community. Some points that may be helpful: Our main aim is to help improve LGBT-related articles, so if someone asks for help with an article, please try your hardest to help them if you are able. Most important discussions take place on the project's main discussion page; it is highly recommended that you watchlist it. The project has several ongoing and developing activities, such as article quality assessment, peer review and a project-wide article collaboration, all of which you are welcome to take part in. We also have a unique program to improve our lower quality articles, Jumpaclass, so please consider signing up there. If you have another language besides English, please consider adding yourself to our translation section, to help us improve our foreign LGBT topics. If you're planning to stay, have a square in our quilt! You can put anything you want in it. If you have any questions, feel free to ask on the talk page, and we will be happy to help you. And once again - Welcome!

Patience and Sarah, reply

Hi, Moni3, no problem! I usually look for new novel articles that need tagging and/or template work, and let me tell you, for a new article, yours is a pretty good start for a stub. Kudos on using the infobox and including the image, as well! I haven't read the novel, but I've heard quite a lot about it; so good on you for including it on Wiki. I see you've joined WP LGBT, which is awesome. If you're interested in starting many other novel/book articles, perhaps you should look into also joining WP Novels. If not, it's still worth a look to see how book guidelines are handled, in case you're curious over format and what not. Anyway, welcome to Wiki, hope you like it here, good luck, and yay for Jax! :) PS: to sign your comments on talk pages, just stick four tildés (~) at the end so people know it's you.

Thanks. I just now figured out how to reply. Doi. Moni3 02:52, 28 February 2007 (UTC)Moni3

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Bb2001.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Bb2001.jpg. 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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).

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 fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. —Bkell (talk) 09:20, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Non-free use disputed for Image:Daisyfaycover.jpg

This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Daisyfaycover.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read carefully the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content and then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies.

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 22:44, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Kingsley Plantation

Thanks for adding the pics! By any chance, did you get any of the plantation house that you could upload? Does it even still exist?

See, I'm hoping you can help maybe in a project I'm working on. Which is getting pictures for all the Registered Historic Places in Florida. B/c pictures are so much better than maps in infoboxes, imho. This is the list I use to keep track of things. Any help you could provide would be muchly appreciated, and versa visa. :)

I also see you're from my old stomping grounds. I live in the next county down, so we're practically neighbours. Cheers! --Ebyabe 15:40, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

I take hundreds of photos every year of places around north and central Florida, primarily looking for art projects to do (I'm a painter in my spare time), so yes, I have many photos of the owner's house at Kingsley as well as other places around and about. I'm also waiting for my copy of the Homosexual Agenda (the conservapedia article on that is hi-larious, by the way). Moni3 19:04, 1 July 2007 (UTC)Moni3

Image:Women In The Shadows Cover 1959.jpg

Please don't post the book's cover blurb in the Image page. The image can be used under fair use to illustrate the book, but the big quote from the book cover is a copyright violation. Corvus cornix 15:39, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

I stated in the licensing section that the covers are no longer under copyright - the images on the front or the blurbs on the back. There does not appear to be an option in choosing image licensing that states copyrights expired for material newer than 100 years old. Gold Medal Books went out of business and the copyrights to all the images and book covers expired. I will do my best to find verification of this if you need it. In turn, please do not delete the images or blurbs/summary unless you know for sure that the images and blurbs are still under copyright. I believe that the blurbs on the backs of the books are an important part of the context of lesbian pulp fiction in literature. Moni3 15:52, 6 July 2007 (UTC)Moni3

What makes you think that covers are no longer under copyright? That is not my understanding. Could you provide solid proof for your claim? And no, I will not refrain from removing the blurb, and will, in fact, continue the discussion where more eyes can see it, if you persist on violating copyright law. Corvus cornix 15:57, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

The author of this series I've created these articles for has confirmed that the images are no longer under copyright in email to me on July 26, 2006 when I informed her that I had created the article about her series: "Hi, Pamela, How very nice of you to post an entry on Wikipedia about me! There are one or two very minor changes I may make, but by and large, it's well written and insightful. I was really surprised, but also delighted. You are welcome to post the book covers; the old ones are out of copyright, and the new ones will be good PR--provided, of course, that the Wikipedia Militia doesn't object." What kind of proof would justify leaving the blurbs in the summary part of the image? Confirmation from the company is no longer available. Cleis Press, the publishing company that reissued the books from 2001-2003 used cover art that adorned covers of other Gold Medal books - they may be able to verify that all images on covers of Gold Medal Books (or at least this series) are out of copyright. Would an email suffice? A letter? In what form? I will be happy to get it. Moni3 16:14, 6 July 2007 (UTC)Moni3

Let's take this discussion to Wikipedia_talk:Copyright_problems and see if those who habituate the copyright discussions can give us some insight. Corvus cornix 16:17, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

OK, I've started a discussion there, if you'd like to participate. Please don't think I'm trying to be obsessive for obsession's sake and, like I said, I don't have a problem with the use of the cover as a fair use image, but my concern is with the quote. Corvus cornix 16:21, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

A User over there says that the quote should be okay since the copyright was not renewed. I apologize for the misunderstanding, and will restore the quote. Corvus cornix 16:37, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

I'm glad that was taken care of relatively easily. Is there some indication in the licensing of the image I can add that will ensure that it won't happen again (or often)? Thank you. Moni3 16:42, 6 July 2007 (UTC)Moni3

The problem is that a lot of people make copyright claims that turn out to be false, even though they protest "No, I have the rights!" A copy of the email from the author on the Image page's Talk page would probably be sufficient. Corvus cornix 16:51, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Sources for additions to Ann Bannon?

Thanks for adding to the sketchy Ann Bannon article. It would be helpful if you have any reliable published sources you can cite for the comments about her work overall. (I did see that you mentioned the Cleis Press editions re: her own response.) The more Wikipedia serves to distill verifiable existing sources rather than our own comments, the better it gets.
