Tamás Kádár

Tamás, what are Image:Vitorlas.jpg, Image:Nyar2.jpg and Image:Osz.jpg pictures of? --Iamunknown 01:19, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

These are my paintings. But I deleted from my user:page, because somebody didn't like User:Tamás Kádár page..--Tamás Kádár 15:41, 4 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

They are beautiful. :-) If they are unused, would you mind if they are deleted? --Iamunknown 02:23, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image:OKIBEACH.jpg - Please dont delete

Hi there, please dont delete this image! It is one of the only decent pictures of an Okinawa beack on Wikipedia.

I have added the credit to Danny Choo who took this picture. Besides being a personal friend of mine he clearly states his creative commons licence on everyone of his pages at : http://www.dannychoo.com/slide/eng/japan/2984/photo/Okinawa+Photo/

Thanks.--Sean-Jin 08:50, 5 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for adding the source. You will notice when you follow the link "Creative Commons License" right below the image that Mr Choo has decided to license his images under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Generic license. Both non-commercial and 3.0-CC licenses are regarded as non-free content and must be labeled as such. I have changed the tag to {{non-free fair use in}} and, because the image is one which could be replaced by a free image, have tagged the image with {{replaceable fair use}}. --Iamunknown 02:29, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Opinion needed

Hello IMU. Could you please give us your opinion re the usage of this picture? Thanks in advance. -- FayssalF - ^{Wiki me up®} 18:15, 5 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've commented there and commented further at the IfD. The situation surrounding copyright is concerning. --Iamunknown 02:45, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

IMU, is there a sample copyright letter somewhere that the website owner could send to the permissions AT Wikipedia address, that would justify free unrestricted use of this image? BEcause they wouldnt know what to write. thanks.--Matt57 ^{(talk•contribs)} 00:49, 9 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Matt, I'm sorry for the late reply. There is, I would recommend that you look at commons:Commons:Email templates. Explain to the website owner the terms of the GFDL (unrestricted commercial reuse and derivative works, except that any reusers must license the photograph similarly) and ask him or her to fill the template out and (preferrably) replace the [LICENSE] field with the statement: "under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation; with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover Texts." Hope that this helps. --Iamunknown 20:04, 15 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What details are you looking for that are not already in the fair-use rationales? dhett ^{(talk • contribs)} 03:18, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Image:Angellocsin.jpg

You're right, sorry. I overlooked it. Tend to do that when I'm going past so many images so quickly. ^demon^{[omg plz]} 23:37, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Lightsaberfun.gif

I'm the site admin for the hosted site. I personally know the creator of that image (and have for over 20 years) and clarified the copyright status with him. What further verification do you need? ⇒ SWATJester ^{Denny Crane.} 07:40, 10 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I see the problem now. The problem is that the original image was fair use, and this version is a derivative work. Given that, it appears that the wrong copyright tag is listed. I'm not entirely sure what the right one is, but since it doesn't really matter as it was used solely as a barnstar style thing, I'll just speedy it if there's no objection. ⇒ SWATJester ^{Denny Crane.} 07:44, 10 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned fair use image (Image:DallinHOaks.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:DallinHOaks.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. BetacommandBot 03:39, 11 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Bono honolulu.jpg

I noticed you tagged Image:Bono honolulu.jpg with a {{PUIdisputed}} tag. Check the talk page for the image. If you read through it all, it should be clear that although the image is copyrighted, all rights have been released (I contacted the author myself). I've swapped the appropriate tag back in. Let me know if there are any concerns or if I did anything in error. Chupper 20:10, 11 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Banana cream pie AfD

Sorry! Damn Windows Update made me have to shutdown my computer, and then I got sidetracked. I will re-add them. Cheers. --TV-VCR watch 05:24, 12 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Disney Channel Logo

What exactly needs adding to Image:Disney_Channel_2002.svg to be considered as to have a detailed fair use rationale? I've added a rationale, and have absolutely no idea what else to put on it. Unfortuantely, I only make the occasional edits to Wikipedia and therefore have no idea about detailed fair use rationales (and yes I have read the help pages on it - they made no sense). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Orry Verducci (talk • contribs) 14:39, 12 May 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Re: Kelly Martin's talk page

Thanks for your message. My edit was meant in good humor, as a response to this. I have no problem with Kelly's positions on these issues, and in fact largely agree with them, when it comes to "capitalised gibberish" and RfA thank you notes at least.--ragesoss 03:19, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Tagging

I've just left a help message there. I know this pisses some people off but all I've done is tag images for problems in line with Wikipedia policy! An image must come from somewhere - and it should be sourced. Would have been good if the user that is now reverting all my edits had actually left a message for me first. Madmedea 23:19, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry!

Bizarre! It didn't warn me there was an edit conflict, and I'm sure I didn't delete the text. I'm sorry about that, if it was somehow my fault it was purely unintentional. Thanks for letting me know it happened, in any case. Komdori 23:34, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

re: RFPP

No worries, we said the same thing anyway :) Now if you'd advocated for protecting, things would be different ;) – Riana_ऋ 04:11, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Forchtenberg images set to be speed deleted

Hi, thanks for your notes. It strikes me I might as well take snapshots of this place myself and upload that. Yeah?

If you are nearby Forchtenberg or can go there over a weekend, that would be great! Please let me know when you upload them, I'd love to see them. :) --Iamunknown 20:22, 15 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

edit war?

I did post on the talk page, but the unregistered user did not respond. I also asked for protection last night. The unregistered user continues to vandalize the Queens College page. I reverted a few times, posted on the talk page, even asked for the page to be protected, but nothing. I don't know what to do next. The warning is unwarranted. Enigmaman 12:50, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

the vandalism doesn't stop. unregistered user at 208.120.89.146 and 208.120.88.167 continues to ignore everyone and keeps going. Enigmaman 20:08, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Enigmaman, I didn't mean to offend you by warning you, I just don't want the situation to escalate into an edit war, so I warned all parties involved. I understand your frustration and I am now watching the page (and just reverted some information). The editor needs to be warned and talked to, though, so that he or she knows that what he or she is doing is not appropriate. If the editor does not comply, I would suggest dispute resolution (specifically third opinion); of course, that requires getting the editor to the talk page first. --Iamunknown 20:22, 15 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I stopped editing after getting your warning. But unless that user's IP is banned, they'll keep doing it. It's a very persistent vandal. Anyway, can I get the warning thing removed from my talk page? It's mildly irritating. Enigmaman 21:19, 15 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"how does a word "stand"?"

The expression is a shorting of "stands in for" in the same sense that Bob might stand in for Tom in a staff meeting. Thats how I use/read it. ---J.S (T/C/WRE) 02:38, 15 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I know, it just sounds weird :S, anyways I seem to have forgotten to commit the revision even though I typed it into the edit summary, so I guess I'll just leave it as-is. --Iamunknown 20:06, 15 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Hi, thanks for the sunflower. Regarding help, just keep commenting on images listed there, your comments are always helpful. And yes, I noticed you are not a fan of barnstars, see User:Iamunknown/Barnstar!. :) Garion96 (talk) 18:00, 15 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe I should have one of those anti-barnstar barnstars. :P I certainly like compliments and like giving them (hence the sunflower :-)), but I prefer things to be informal. I must say, however, that I was totally taken aback when you gave me that barnstar, as it was the first one I have ever gotten; thank you. That I marked the page for deletion wasn't necessarily because I dislike barnstars, but was more because I got very stressed out throughout April and thought that I might be able to cut back from Wikipedia (obviously not, though, I'm still here).

Anyways, thank you for the barnstar, and I hope you like your sunflower :-) I'll keep it up at WP:PUI. --Iamunknown 19:57, 15 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well..I guess I have an ego, so the sunflower still goes on my userpage. :) For now anyway. Btw, it might be practical to have a statement on your talk that you also respond here. Makes it easier. Also, to make life less stressful on wikipedia (yes, that was sarcasm for sure) have you ever thought of nominating yourself or be nominated for adminship?

Damn, while I was previewing this I got your message. Yes, I did! :) Garion96 (talk) 22:42, 18 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Polska Flaga Berlin.jpg

Hi, can you please explain this edit ? Thanks. --Lysy^talk 19:48, 15 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Why did you revert Betacommand? --Iamunknown 19:53, 15 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I believe he's not paying attention to what he's doing. He ignored the fair use rationale provided with the image and removed the tag explaining this. I'm surprised you reverted without understanding this. --Lysy^talk 20:07, 15 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm surprised you reverted without understanding that a separate fair use rationale, separate from the image copyright tag, is required for each use...that basically explains why he tagged the image with {{no rationale}}. --Iamunknown 20:20, 15 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please can you help me out and explain why a separate fair use rationale is required ? Possibly in a friendly manner. Thanks. --Lysy^talk 20:24, 15 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you

Hello. Thank you for removing the fair use images from the Letterkenny Retail Park article. I had requested several editors' help in removing the images, but you were too quick for them. : ) Thank you for deling with the issue so quickly.

Chasing the dragon

THanks for that. For some reason that film production seems to have been abandioned - the film then needs to be removed from Snipe's filmography.

Re: Image:IONTelevision.png

Okay, I read WP:FURAT and revised the rationale; should be detailed enough for you. Unless your idea of a rationale for EACH USE means the same block of text three times for each article? I don't know. But anyway, I fixed it. Any more problems, please tell me. For now let's just cross our fingers and hope this works. -- M (^speak/_spoken) 02:21, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

List of best-selling albums (UK)

Did I ever get back to you about this? Is there something that currently needs doing? Jkelly 21:29, 18 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

(1) No, (2) I don't know, I am not privy to OTRS e-mails. The last statement left was something like, "It would need a fair use rationale" and, since we don't currently do fair use rationales for articles, I figured it should be left at that. --Iamunknown 21:32, 18 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about not getting back to you. We used to use HTML comment tags to include fair use rationales for text in articles. It's not obvious to me that this is actually helpful for editors or for reusers, and we seem to have stopped doing it. I suppose that, in theory, there should be some machine-readable way to do this, per the Board resolution. Jkelly 22:07, 18 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
