Bureaucrats don't do much beyond making editors into admins, and even though I monitor admin nominations, somebody else always gets there before I do. (Guess that means we're not short on bureaucrats! :-) ) [[User:Stan Shebs|Stan]] 23:08, 19 March 2006 (UTC) |

Image tagging
Hi, you tagged a number of images as orphaned fair use, but in many of these cases none were actually being claimed for fair use. Please use {{subst:nsd}} and {{subst:nld}} instead for no source/no license respectively. Thanks. howcheng {chat} 00:50, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
Hey we share the same birthday!

- I'm '87 born & I study in Ahmedabad. I agree, Esperanza is a great way of maintaining the community part of wikipedia. Its one of the things that motivates the users to make such wonderful contributions to Wikipedia.

Copyright status of Image:Comoros FA.gif
I've added a template to indicate the copyright status of Image:Comoros FA.gif. Please check if it's appropriate. Chanheigeorge 09:52, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
Uploader notification
No there is no requirement to notify the uploader, but it's definitely considerate, as they are most likely going to be able to give the source and/or licensing (although sometimes the licensing they pick is wrong). Thanks. howcheng {chat} 16:41, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

RE:Image copyright problem with Image:Coruscant info.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Coruscant info.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).
The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}
.
Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Thank you. Shyam (T/C) 21:58, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
- Hello Urshyam. I uploaded that from a scan of the book referenced to settle a dispute over the population of Coruscant as stated in the book. If this is not found to be fairuse, then I will allow it to be deleted under Wikipedia's laws. Thank you for notifying me on this matter. -- Riffsyphon1024 22:28, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
- Riffsyphon1024, thanks for responding, but please let me know about the book's copyrights. Does author allow anyone for publicizing the material and images? If yes, then it can be considered as fair use. Regards, Shyam (T/C) 22:41, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
- I would say that the author Kristin Lund would not like this but it was a small section used primarily for proof purposes. The book is here at Wookieepedia's article. -- Riffsyphon1024 23:03, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
- Riffsyphon1024, thanks for responding, but please let me know about the book's copyrights. Does author allow anyone for publicizing the material and images? If yes, then it can be considered as fair use. Regards, Shyam (T/C) 22:41, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
Indonesia home garden image
Image:Indonesia_home_garden.jpg was originally uploaded by User:Erauch so the copyright issue should be taken up with him. I noticed this image copyright was not brought to his attention, though many others were. This suggests that wikimedia might benefit from a script that displays who uploaded what. Wikimedia needs to document how a source for media can comply with the copyright laws, given that many of these sources are small websites without resources but nevertheless with rights that should be upheld. Maybe wikimedia can enlist the associations that work in the copyright holder's interest to share some of the burden in documenting compliance procedures to help streamline wikipedians' work. Rtdrury 23:36, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
You left a note on User talk:Tommyllew regarding Image:DSCF0157.JPG: "I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. " However, he did note on the image page that the image was self-created. Dforest 03:25, 17 March 2006 (UTC) :From the image page: (del) (cur) 23:08, 5 October 2005 . . Tommyllew (Talk) . . 427x476 (58528 bytes) (This is a photo taken by me, Tom Llewellyn, in Tacoma, Washington in 2003.) Surely if he uploaded his own image, than he intended to allow its use on Wikipedia, right? Dforest 16:14, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
Image Copyright Tag
The copyright tags are very confusing to me, I've uploaded two pictures that didn't have them. I suppose they qualify under fair use but I don't remember what websites I found them on. The first image already got deleted, but the other one is still there, it's name is jacksonkellyguitars.jpg I just wanted you to know that I got your message about the picture, but I don't understand how to use the copyright tags. Ladysway1985 05:52, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
Re: Image:Jason schmidt2.jpg
Ah that was an upload I did as a relative newbie. I don't think it's fair use at all... I'm going to just go ahead and delete it. Thanks for catching it. --W.marsh 18:28, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
Howcheng
Howcheng seems to be taking a somewhat more expansive interpretation of what is legitimate. My view is that it is almost unheard-of for a newspaper to make any of its content free (after all, they make their whole living selling information), so in the absence of any concrete evidence otherwise, any newspaper bits we're using are non-free and only possible under fair use. I wouldn't get in a big fuss over specific images right now, anything that's fair use is going to get revisited multiple times, maybe even deleted en masse if Jimbo gets irritated. :-) Stan 19:37, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
- Actually, I was just saying that {{orfud}} is inappropriate when the image hasn't even been claimed as fair use. {{nsd}} and {{nld}} are perfectly adequate and IMHO are acted upon a lot sooner than orphaned fair use images. howcheng {chat} 20:15, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
No, I don't think this qualifies as fair use for Icebreaker because there's no reason why we need this particular image to illustrate the article when there are enough free pictures of icebreakers available. Regards, howcheng {chat} 20:15, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
unsourced?
Sorry, forget my previous message. I missed the explanation above. Jurohi 07:17, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
Are you a bastard?
You bloody SON of a BITCH!! — PM Poon 13:40, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
- Ha ha ha ha! (Sorry, just so funny to see this come in with no context whatsoever.) Stan 14:16, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
- STOP sending me anymore copyright notices, WILL YOU?!!! Did you not see how many reminders I left behind to tell you ENOUGH is ENOUGH? Are you blind or what?
- Those images were uploaded at a time when it was deemed acceptable if a user identified the source; that was before the defamation article last year. Countless hours were spend in uploading those pictures, including some that were scanned from local newspapers. There will be tons more notices to flood my user page if you stubbornly persist on doing what you are doing. Is it necessary? Are you a brainless robot or what? Can't you use a little bit of discretion? You are just an irritating bloody pain in the ass.
- I have sought deregistration from this portal because of YOU and YOU alone, but was told it was not possible. In any case, they helped me to delete my user page and user talk page? Do you know that, MR IDIOT?!!!! — PM Poon 15:38, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
Jguk image
Hey, did you get a communique from User:Jguk that Image:Heath Streak (Warwickshire) about to bowl to Cook (MCC) at Lord's on 10 April 2005.JPG should be PD? If so, does it apply to his other untagged images too? Stan 14:16, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
- Basically you can never assume PD (what if he wanted GFDL, or regretted putting previous images into the public domain?). We do have {{GFDL-presumed}} that some people use, althought I don't care for it much myself - better to take the pain of deleting the image and motivate somebody else to create a proper replacement. Stan 20:28, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
Dave Nellist Picture
You recently deleted this picture that I posted on the site - I am a member of the Socialist Party, and I know Dave Nellist - this picture is in the public domain:
http://www.socialistparty.org.uk/ElectionCampaignCandidates.htm
and has no copyright.
I will be resubmitting it to the page - please find something more constructive to do with your time.
Orphanded fair use
Hi, please don't tag untagged images as "orphanded fair use" unless they are obviously unfree (magazine covers, obvious movie screenshots, logos and such). A "no license" and/or "no source" tag is more apropriate in most cases such cases, sure in most of the cases the image will end up deleted anyway because the uploader is no longer around to tag the images but it's best to use the right process anyway. I apreciate all the work you have been putting into image tagging lately, just be carefull to tag the images with the most apropriate template. Thanks. --Sherool (talk) 18:56, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

OR
My sincere apologies
Hai Urshyam, sorry for being very rude. Yes, I did leave so many messages at the bottom of my talk page. I not only bolded it, I eventually also used the biggest fonts possible in Wikipedia, boxed it up and colored the frames bright red. Finally, I left a message that says, "Shyam, if you can't read this, you must be blind!" Imagine how exasperated I was!!
The reason why I did not leave a message on your talk page is because admittedly, you are not the only one sending me those messages. I thought that the bottom of the page would be the best location as anyone who wish to add a message would be able to see it very clearly. I forgot that one can also access the page by using the + button and bypass it.
I think I must have uploaded a few hundred pictures in those days when I was a Wikiholic. Can you imagine yourself eventually receiving a few hundred similar stock messages that flood your talk page until it is no longer useful? I was so addicted to Wikipedia in those days that I spent many nights without sleeping just to upload those pictures. And mind you, I never just upload. I improve the picture using Photoshop, modifying it at times to suit the context. Some have been scanned from local newspapers, and giving the poor quality, a lot of manual touch-up was involved. As far as I know, any piece of work where reasonable effort has been put in to alter it is not a copyright infringement. Even so, I always give the source where the images where taken.
I could not understand the many different types of copyright tags when I tried to learn them and thought that some kind soul would just add it for me if the source is given. However, cooperative effort seems to be lacking as far as images are concerned, quite unlike articles where they are snapped up eagerly and immediately, and mercilessly edited, for right or for wrong. Had the current practice on images been implemented then, I would not have bothered to waste my time. Unfortunately, it was not. Those images were uploaded over a period of time.
It had been a heart-rending experience for me in this portal, especially with some admins and editors from UK insisting that I must write the English way, when the sun has already set in England and English books are hardly available in my country. As far as I know, American English is acceptable in this portal. That was the reason why I eventually decided to leave the portal at the end of last year. However, I still come in once a while to take a look, but I no longer contribute.
Lastly, I wish to extend my heart-felt apologies for being so rude to you. I sought deregistration two days ago, but was told it was not possible. What they can do was help me to delete both my user page and talk page. Imagine how exasperated I was when I saw another message from you after my personal pages were "deleted"!!!
The misunderstanding arose because I thought that you had read the message I left behind and persisted on sending those messages as an act of sadism. Maybe I should have send you a personal message, but then again, I would have to send to quite a few admins and editors, and also to those others who have yet to come, but surely will in due time. What better place than to leave a big message, boxed it in red so that everyone could see? How mistaken was I!! — PM Poon 19:17, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Image copyrights for Gemran pages
Urshyam, I recently got a bunch of notices from you regarding image copyrights. It appears that the first 4 have already been taken care of, and I have added copyright notices to the last two, according to what their German-language counterparts indicated. Thanks! - grubber 17:55, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
