==Fair use rationale for [[:Image:DSCN0732.JPG]]== |
|||
Thanks for uploading or contributing to '''[[:Image:DSCN0732.JPG]]'''. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under [[Wikipedia:Fair use|fair use]] but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to [[:Image:DSCN0732.JPG|the image description page]] and edit it to include a [[Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline|fair use rationale]]. |
|||
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "[[Special:Contributions/{{PAGENAME}}|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 non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Images.2FMedia|criteria for speedy deletion]]. If you have any questions please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:media copyright questions|Media copyright questions page]]. Thank you.<!-- Template:Di-no fair use rationale-notice --> [[User:NYScholar|NYScholar]] 02:59, 19 October 2007 (UTC) |

Welcome to my user talk page! Anubis3 06:35, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
Some assistance
Hey could you please take a look at the "diplom" article. The issue is with the Abitur having nothing to do with the article. Apparently, some anonymous IP is playing games, does not understand the rules of Wikipedia and is making personal attacks. I asked them to take a look at What Wikipedia is Not but the user doesn't seem to understand. The user also doesn't seem to be a qualified English contributor. I am going to revert the irrelevant changes. Thanks! InfoAgent 16:58, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
- Umm...sure I'll take a look but I really don't want to get involved in edit wars. I hope you can understand. Why don't you try an RfC and then mediation? aNubiSIII (T / C) 09:24, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Keep The Peace
Just testing my friend. I may have been drunk..!! (Quentin X 23:39, 18 July 2007 (UTC))
- Many thanks for the Barnstar (my first). Many apologies for the untoward edit yesterday, I was very drunk and I think it took me about 5 minutes to type. I appreciate that people can disagree on certain things and that it can get slightly personal but we are all aiming for the same thing and we can lose sight of that sometimes. I look forward to working together in the future. (Quentin X 12:58, 19 July 2007 (UTC))
Replaceable fair use Image:Bio_hamadam.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Bio_hamadam.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the image description page and edit it to add
{{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template. - On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MER-C 11:27, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
Seton Hall University Good Article Status
Hi, I'm reaching out to all the major editors of the SHU article in hopes of finishing up some edits required to bring the article up to GA status. The article had passed GA, but was then placed on hold, contingent on our finishing the items on our to do list. I'd appreciate any help you could give in making this happen. Regards, Mystache 16:21, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
Congressional Medal of Honor
Hi Jons63! I noticed some of your recent edits concerning the denotation of the Congressional Medal of Honor. Its important to note, however, that removing "Congressional" from the name may possibly misrepresent the naming of this medal. For example, in the disambiguation page you may notice that there is more than one Medal of Honor (i.e. not just for the United States). I'd equate it to something like the difference between The Civil War and the American Civil War. While U.S. military personnel may simply use Medal of Honor in their jargon, this is not entirely suitable for use in an international encyclopedia. Besides this, however, I would like to thank you for your other edits and keep up the good work ethic! Best, aNubiSIII (T / C) 16:53, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
- This topic has been discussed at Medal of Honor. The consensus was that the medal should be called Medal of Honor not Congressional Medal of Honor. Medal of Honor is not jargon, it is the official name of the medal as written into the law passed by the US Congress that created the medal. On most of the pages I edited, the medal was also called Medal of Honor in the infobox on the right side of the article, so I was making the articles consistent within themselves as well as across Wikipedia. Thanks for the advice Jons63 23:10, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
- Hi there again Jons63! I'm not exactly sure if I got my point across before accurately. I'm not insinuating that Medal of Honor is an incorrect term. I am merely saying that there is NO need to remove Congressional from the phrase on different wikipedia articles. Using Congressional is more specific terminology and does not subtract at all from the meaning. You must recognize that there are other medals of honor such as in China, Turkey, etc.
- Furthermore, I don't see any discussion much less any consensus about this issue on the Medal of Honor Talk Page. Also, please try not to repost any other user's comments with their signatures unless you make it explicity clear that your are quoting them. These issues should not become points of contention, I hope you understand. Look forward to your future edits! Best, aNubiSIII (T / C) 00:59, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
- Congressional Medal of Honor is not more specific if it is not the name of any Medal issued by the US or any other country. I went back and looked again, Talk:Medal of Honor/Archive 1, and there is a huge discussion and the way I read the discussion, it is a consensus that the name should be Medal of Honor not Congressional Medal of Honor. I believe it IS necessary to remove Congressional from the name since it is not the correct name according to 32CFR578.9 [1]
- I do recognise there are other Medals of Honor other than the one given out by the US. I don't think this should be a bone of contention either. If you believe that the name that is used on Wikipedia for this medal should be changed to something else go to the page and advocate for it. I believe it is the proper name with the other possibility being Medal of Honor (United States) but never Congressional Medal of Honor We shouldn't call something an incorrect name just because people call it the incorrect name. Wikipedia should be about correct information not continuing to perpetuate incorrect information.
- I apologize for copying your post to my talk page to your talk page. Jons63 01:28, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
Image of Nobel medal
I'm not convinced that it's not a copyright violation to post the image of the Nobel medal for the same reason why people's personal pictures of stamps have been removed from WP. I can ask around to make sure. At any rate, could you edit your picture and remove some of the unnecessary black space that's around it? –panda 22:32, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
Just wanted to point out that you haven't stated what the RFC is about in Talk:Nobel Prize. I assume it is about your image. –panda 05:53, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
