Lugo vs. kitty

I'm not sure about the "free-ness" of the kitty picture. Feel free to delete it if you want. It was only a one-time gag, and I doubt it adds much to the sum of human knowledge. Lovelac7 12:59, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

L. piperatus

Hello. As you might have guessed from my previous edit, I'm not a friend of excessive citing of sources. Do you really see the need for putting an in-text reference on every single sentece? The taxonomic properties of a mushroom can easily be credited to a single source at the end of paragraph. De728631 (talk) 17:49, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I see your point and it is of course in order to cite questionable material. But your article looks like a whole list of citations, which again is frowned upon by WP:When to cite#When a source may not be needed. Subject-specific common knowledge needs no citations.

Image:German sniper screenshot.jpg

Hi, I noticed you added Image:German sniper screenshot.jpg for deletion because copyright wasn't specified, however I did add a Non-free use media rationale for the Sniper article. Also, the picture is a screenshot from a documentary on WW2 snipers, the film itself was shot during the war however. This could mean the image belongs to the German propaganda ministerium, which no longer exists. Is this sufficient to keep the image or should I give other information? Wiki1609 (talk) 13:41, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! You deleted the above image some time ago - could you please restore it? The identical version exists on my old account - I shall be trying to get the old ones CSD U1-d... how are you, anyway?--Vox Humana 8' 14:12, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fair Use for Currency Images Question

Hi there,

I thank God that I found you writting in one of the pages I am watching, since I have been looking for an expert in this field and you seem to be the person I am looking for. I have a few questions with regards to fair use of currency images (not currency pictures). Can you check this image for example?

Image:2002 Austria 50 Euro Christian Religious Orders back.jpg

It is my understanding, and I might be wrong, that currency images (scans of coins/bills) are not copyrighted material, because of the nature of the object: they circulate, their artist are paid on contracts where they can not hold copyrights on it ... etc. Note that I am not talking about currency pictures, particularly pictures of old coins that do not circulate any more, since there could be some sort of artistic sense on it: lights, shades, angles ... etc.

So I was wonder for the previous image:

1) Is the fair use rationale OK?
2) Can this image be considered free use?

The problem is that the article that use this image (Euro gold and silver commemorative coins (Austria)) has all images of all euro commemorative coins released by Austria; regardless that all images fair-use rationale are fine (I am checking with you again this fact, just in case) there are too many non-free images in one article, so this article can not be promoted to FA or FL.

I do hope you can help.

For a short period of time only (2 more days at most, I expect), besides that page is just a draft and all new/reorganized/rewritten content will be moved to the actual article space shortly. In the mean time it is helpful to also include the images in the draft, not the least important reason being that I'm not keen on looking in the history for images and images' descriptions. There is nothing immoral in that, please. diego_pmc (talk) 14:20, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I included the link, after I read the message at the top of your talk page, sorry. I don't think there'll be any problems opened, after all they're used on an intermediary page, not in the actual user page. having them there helps me improve the overall layout of the article. For example the text in the infobox, from label "Schedule" aligns better when there's an image. diego_pmc (talk) 14:33, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

please leave my images alone

I hat two images that I uploaded: File:Sillyuserbar.png and File:Sillyuserbar.png, that were for educational puropouses as an example of a user bar which was clearly stated in the description, if I upload them again can you not delete them this time? I can understand thou why you deleted them the 1st time scince they looked like non-essential images.

Question

Not too sure what you are talking about? Hag2 (talk) 14:57, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Everything is ok now. It must have been a peculiarity of cyberspace. When I tried editing in the image at 21:20 nothing worked! So I went away. When I came back, you had replaced the image on the right. I changed my mind (during the long hiatus of the day) and decided that I wanted it on the left, with lots of info. So I just now moved it to the left. Thanks for everything. *have a nice day* Hag2 (talk) 22:13, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Orphaned non-free image (Image:Goku vs vegeta.png)

Image Sourcing

In response to removing tags from images, I apologize for doing so incorrectly. I had written in the discussion and in the summary that these images were provided by Integrity Media, and were to be attributed as such. I thought this information was sufficient. I have been authorized by Integrity Media to provide images for their associated artists, and did not know what other information was needed to verify its copyright status. I have asked in the past, but have not received any response. I would greatly appreciate your help in this matter, that I might not encounter the same issues again. Thank you in advance. WorshipGuy22 (talk) 15:45, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not by e-mail. I have been contracted by Integrity Media to maintain their web/social sites, and this is one of their requests. I have already confronted the COI issues, and have consented to consciously avoid "spamming" issues. I am trying to add validity to the current pages on Wiki by updating photographs provided by Integrity Media, as well as adding source information to those articles which are lacking such. WorshipGuy22 (talk) 15:51, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Again, thank you for your answer, and for your quick response. Further, would an e-mail from the director of Public Relations be sufficient? (since she controls the PR images and articles) If so I'll do it today. Also, is the disclaimer something that I can copy/paste into future uploaded images, and if so would I do this in the Summary Section? Thank you again for your time. WorshipGuy22 (talk) 16:06, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Integrity Media

I talked with the PR Director, and she requested that I remove the images, because she did not realize (nor did I) that the images could be distributed commercially by others. She said that she would like to run it by both the creative director and the legal department, before granting permission, and would rather have them taken off for the time being. Thank you again. WorshipGuy22 (talk) 16:32, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Again, thank you for your help. It is nice to encounter a kind and helpful administrator. I appreciate your watching out for both Wikipedia's sake, as well as for my own. Regards WorshipGuy22 (talk) 16:42, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In-line external links

Hey, I would like to ask you a question. Is it allowed to introduce external links in the main body of the article? In Concerned (that page on my user space you removed the fair-use images from) there are two other comics mentioned. is it permitted to introduce links to those in the article? diego_pmc (talk) 20:17, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm unsure why you deleted my image. I understand that Wiki is not a "soap box" but having verified facts regarding the biggest turnaround in Irish education is definately informative and the image was to go with the article.

Help 2

I never really mess with tagging photos and such, but thanks for the help on the Help Desk. Anyway, I've encountered a user who is disputing the validity of the pic here. Is he right? --Endless Dan 17:58, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm. I don't get that. So could I take any promotional shot of a living artist and use it - if it has the appropriate credit and tag? Why doesn't everyone do this for every artist that is missing a pic?? This is why I don't fuss with pictures. And secondly, it's okay - I'm an honorary administrator. Like, officially. --Endless Dan 19:58, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oh and thanks for your help. But I should have never bothered. lol --Endless Dan 19:59, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not gonna dispute the image. I don't have the energy. Although, I don't see why touring with Nirvana would warrant a pic of he and Kurt Cobain. It's only a small blurb on the article and it wasn't a notable tour. Thanks again. --Endless Dan 20:15, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi J Milburn, can you take a look at this page and let me know whether or not the changes I made regarding the author and license tagging are satisfactory? I have not done a lot of work with images and, although I think this is now correct, I do not want to go forth and perform these updates to the companion images unless this is the right way to go. Thanks in advance. Regards, Accurizer (talk) 23:20, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again. Did you see something that indicates the images were taken in Austria? I may have missed that. The reason I thought they were made in the US by a gov't employee is they appear to contain a raised seal that was impressed along with the US Declaration of Intention form (this can be seen here). Shouldn't that be sufficient to indicate that the images were taken when the form was prepared in the US? At least, it seems reasonable. But if this isn't convincing I'll try a fair use claim instead, as you suggested. Thanks for your time. Regards, Accurizer (talk) 01:52, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, INDNAM asked for my help at User talk:Delldot#Tourniquet. I've made several suggestions to them, but I think it would help if you could explain to them what problems you saw with their edits. Thanks much, delldot talk 02:31, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

J Milburn thank you for the reply. There seems to be confusion about what I have contributed and referenced. I actually have cited multiple sources in the tourniquet article. In fact the source you quote about crushing of tissue and limb loss was one cited by Owain, not me. Tourniquet use as a prehospital intervention is cited in PHTLS Mosby 5th and 6th edition which is the only guidelines to date that have been endorsed by both the American College of Surgeons and the National Association of EMT's. Another source is John F. Kragh et al. which is ref. 4 Another source I can include is {Prehospital advances in the management of severe penetrating trauma} Robert Mabry, MD; John G. McManus, MD, MCR. This article supports what I have contributed as do the others I am referencing. In addition it highlights specifically the CAT tourniquet. I appreciate your help, please review the history and commentary on the tourniquet page. The information currently on there is wrong, the pictures and information is outdated and what I have contributed is absolutely accurate supported evidence based information. If you look at Owain Davies talk page you will see I broke down each inaccuracy in the article that it keeps reverting back to. I will try once again to show my contribution, it is the correct information.I hope this can be rectified to show accurate data, not outdated studies and dogma.Thank you.

J Milburn,

Thanks for your points about the image 'terry emailing lucy mckenzie' explaining why you have tagged it for deletion. I do see from your comments that I may have given it the wrong source (or copywright?) explaining it's origins. The image is of a work that is actually not by me but I have uploaded it to use in an article I am creating about the artist portrayed. (Any suggestions as to which source (or copyright) would be appropriate would be super appreciated, I was not sure if I did this correctly). I do have permission to use this image.

The article is currently under construction and I have not even added the image to the article yet. This is my first time to use Wikipedia so I may be a bit slow. The image is actually quite important to the article as it illustrates a key concept of the artist's practice and depicts a pivotal scene in his development and collaborative practice. Thank you.~ —Preceding unsigned comment added by JuneSiren (talkcontribs) 14:16, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ulster Defence Regiment

If you want to get involved in the discussion on the Ulster Defence Regiment talk page then you are very welcome to do so but I'm afraid I can't accept the judicious deleting of images, especially when they are the only images which prove this military unit actually did produce at least one album. Non-free or not they are relevant to the subject matter. I welcome your reasoning on the talk page for the article or on my own talk page but in the meantime I will be restoring the inages by undoing your edit. I would be very obliged if you'd note that this page has just been released from several weeks protection after an edit war and that it is currently being monitored. Thank you. The Thunderer (talk) 14:51, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The rationale behind the use of the two images is manifold. Firstly it shows the uniforms of UDR pipers when no other free images are available. Secondly the back cover lists the regimental marches of the regiment and the regimental march of 5 UDR (the latter information is not available elsewhere) and thirdly the album covers together form an accurate and reliable record that 5 UDR's pipes and drums did produce an album as asserted in the Regimental History of the Ulster Defence Regiment by Major John Furniss Potter. The use of these images "significantly increase readers' understanding of the topic". The use of "An album cover as part of a discography" is perfactly acceptable under non-free use rationale. It would be just as easy to provide Crown Copyright status for the use of these images and furthermore, permission for their use is only an e-mail away should you so desire. This is an article on an historic regiment which does not exist any longer and we should go to great lengths to display the few pictures of uniform to readers of the encyclopedia. The Thunderer (talk) 15:08, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The uniforms referred to are the specific to pipers from the Ulster Defence Regiment. Their dress is described in the heading beside where I had placed the images and it is markedly different from all other Irish pipers in the British army in that; they do not wear a hackle in the caubeen and have a different colour of cloak lining. This was an unusual regiment, formed entirely for anti-terrorist work, so pictures of its soldiers are very hard to come by and even harder when it comes to musicians - because they couldn't be identified until quite recently. I am aware of no uniforms for this regiment on display in any museums anywhere as yet. Albums produced by the pipes and drums of the regiment are mentioned in the regimental history by John Furniss Potter but even HE did not include pictures of pipers or drummers from the regiment. I must repeat my earlier contention that the value of these pictures to the encycopedia outweighs the concerns about free use with this rationale. The Thunderer (talk) 15:38, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Why tag the images as "orphaned" when you don't even understand yet why they are being used? The Thunderer (talk) 15:40, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
You've overlooked the fact that they are also Crown Copyright, as have I. I will change the tags and restore the images as CC is free to use for educational purposes. The Thunderer (talk) 16:05, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I don't understand your rationale here, rather than assist me to find a suitable copyright tag to include the images for the benefit of the encyclopedia you seem intent upon their removal. So be it, you will not stop me putting images of UDR pipers in that section and I am currently awaiting a selection of same from a Major of the 5th Battalion UDR, with permission to use them. So much for good faith on Wikipedia. While I'm waiting perhaps yopu could busy yourself deleting the cap badge of the regiment at Image:Cap_Badge_of_the_Ulster_Defence_Regiment.jpg, and while you're at it why not delete all the cap badges of every British Army regiment listed on wikipedia, because they are non-free Crown Copyright too. With any luck by the time you're finished the encyclopedia will be suitably boring for you.The Thunderer (talk) 15:11, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oxford Wikimania 2010 and Wikimedia UK v2.0

Hello there J Milburn,

As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.

We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.

You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up if you are located near London at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Wikipedia:Meetup, for updates on future meets.

We look forward to hearing from you soon!

problem

I have a legitimate article to write and I also have refrences to add. The thing is I don't have a huge amount of information on it. I do have a decent amount though, probably the amount of a stub article. if i add it and include sources and refrences, is it likley to get deleted?
