Patrick McGrath (Irish Republican)
Hello. You made great changes to Eoin McNamee page and I wonder if you could take a look at draft page of Patrick McGrath. Thanks.
- @Palisades1: I'd suggest taking contents from your intro and putting them into the body of the article. The intro is meant to summerise the contents of the article rather than introduce new information. Also when referencing websites, you might want to take a look at Template:Cite web. - CeltBrowne (talk) 19:35, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
Thanks very much. Ive taken your suggestions and made changes . Ive also Tagged the article to "Irish Republicanism" in hopes that it might get a quicker review (it was submitted several months ago). Again, thanks.Palisades1 (talk) 14:46, 27 September 2020 (UTC)
Hello. Well after three months my draft article on Patrick McGrath (Irish Republican) was declined. Some good suggestions were offered and I've incorporated them and resubmitted the article. If you have a chance can you take a look at the revised article? I appreciate it. Palisades1 (talk) 17:21, 5 October 2020 (UTC)

DYK for Poole's Land
![]() | On 23 July 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Poole's Land, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

Sean Dunne
I know you are interested in articles on socialists so I just wanted to let you know that this article had been confined entirely to his parliamentary career with no mention of his trade union activity. Because he is in the news this weekend (featured in the Mother Jones Festival) I have filled that gap. If you go to reference 5 you will see a photo. I don't know if it is available for uploading. It looks to me as if it is an old newspaper photo. Also, you may be interested to know that smirkybec recently uploaded an article on Kay Keohane-O'Riordan , wife of Michael O' Riordan. Aineireland (talk) 20:02, 28 November 2020 (UTC)
@Aineireland: I'm interested in people of all political strains, its just that often times those on the left have more dramatic backstories that make them interesting to write about. I might give Dunne a look when I get a chance. CeltBrowne (talk) 22:32, 28 November 2020 (UTC)

Cheers for that fix. Not sure exactly how I ended up changing "Sinn Féin" to "Iéin" (suspect it was an error involving Ctrl+F) but glad it was spotted! ser! (chat to me - see my edits) 20:04, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

Photos for Irish people pages
Hi you have helped me in the past and I'd appreciate another assist.
I've been working on the last 3 Irish hunger strikers (who died as a result of hunger strikes) that dont have pages. I have alot of difficulty inserting images in the pages - I understand copyright issues but I seem to spend alot of time working on inserting a photo and failing.
Of the 3 pages one has just been approved: Andy O'Sullivan (Irish Republican). A good photo of him exists on Find a Grave.com.
There is also alot of photos of another draft page for: Jack McNella.
I cant find photos of the last draft page: Joe Whitty. I also have a draft page for another Irish Republican Seamus Woods.
Any help/advice is appreciated. Thanks Palisades1 (talk) 13:11, 24 July 2021 (UTC)
- @Palisades1: So, the easiest way to get an image of a person on an article is the following method. If someone is dead, you're allowed upload a fair use image of them if they already have an article. While on desktop, go to the article of the person you'd like to upload an image of and scroll over to the left side of the page, and click "upload file" in the "contribute" section. From there, click "Upload a non-free file". Follow the onscreen instructions and fill out Step 1 and Step 2. When you get to step 3, click "This is a copyrighted, non-free work, but I believe it is Fair Use". For the rationale, select "This is an historic portrait of a person no longer alive." Fill out all the sections with red asterisks beside them. For "Please explain why a free alternative to this image cannot be found", state that you can't find a free alternative. For "Please explain why you are confident that our use of the file will not harm any commercial opportunities of its owner", state that the use of the image will be purely informational. And for "In view of this, please explain how the use of this file will be minimal", state that the image will only be used to visually identify the subject of the article.
- If you've correctly filled out all the required sections, the system will upload your file and you can insert the filename into the article to make it appear.
- It's very daunting to fill out the non-free upload form the first time you do it, but once you get the hang of it it's a breeze, because more or less just writing the same thing every single time.
- I don't think you can upload non-free files to draft articles, but you should be able to for any article that's already live.
- CeltBrowne (talk) 17:54, 24 July 2021 (UTC)
Thanks very much. I would have never figured out the process. The old saying is true: A picture is worth a thousand words. Cheers. Palisades1 (talk) 00:20, 25 July 2021 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Buddy Rogers.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Buddy Rogers.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a non-free file from a commercial source (e.g. Associated Press, Getty Images), where the file itself is not the subject of sourced commentary. If you can explain why the file can be used under the fair use guidelines, please add the appropriate fair use tag and rationale.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Whpq (talk) 03:41, 3 December 2021 (UTC)
Political party module
Hi, I see now why you moved the conversation into the archive. I'm sure there's a good reason for the change, I missed any such discussion of this, and I suspect many of the Irish contributors did. It's somewhat unsatisfactory that we have to request changes rather than be able to make them ourselves given our particular knowledge as Irish contributors, but we'll take it from here I suppose!

Timothy John Dacey
Hello. Your recent edits on Timothy Deasy in the 1874, 1875, and 1876 Massachusetts legislature refer not to Deasy but to someone called Timothy John Dacey (1849-1887) of Boston.[1][2][3] Would you please correct the error? Many thanks. -- M2545 (talk) 11:14, 22 December 2021 (UTC)
- @M2545: I've undone those edits now. My confusion arose as some sources suggest that he (Timothy John Deasy) and Timothy John Dacey are one and the same. I'm still confused as to why Deasy is not listed separately in articles such as 1874 Massachusetts legislature when his biography points in that direction, but I'm not American, so I'm not really familiar with the exact nature of state legislatures in the US and do what role he had exactly.
- @CeltBrowne:. I've often gone down a similar path-- it is easy to mix up names. Thanks for those edits! As for Deasy: the Massachusetts State Library offers a reference service that might help to clarify his story: https://www.mass.gov/ask-a-librarian.

Re: Ella Young
I reverted your edit to Ella Young, which removed a long standing non-free image with accurate and specific copyright information. I can see no evidence for the claim that the new image you added is free and in the public domain. If memory serves, this might be a photograph by Ansel Adams or some other photographer. I’m more curious why you believe the image you added is free and in the public domain. Viriditas (talk) 21:52, 16 March 2022 (UTC)
- So I haven't used this license much before, but it is my understanding that PD-US-no notice covers photographs published in the US between 1927 and 1977 without an explicit copyright notice, regardless if the photographer is known or not. As Young died in 1956, I thought the photograph would fall into this time frame. CeltBrowne (talk) 21:58, 16 March 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you for your reply. I understand your argument, but there are several issues with it. For example, I am assuming you are making this argument because you or someone else uploaded the image to a blog in 2011 without a copyright notice? That doesn’t make any sense to me. We know, for example, that bloggers upload uncredited images all the time without copyright notices. That doesn’t change the license. Maybe I’m missing another assumption you are making? I think it would be more instructive for you to source the original image. When I did research on Ella Young many years ago, I believe the image you uploaded came up as copyrighted, if memory serves correct. Also, a Google reverse image search on my end shows nothing, but I’m currently on mobile which has issues, so if you could do a comprehensive reverse image search that would help. In any case, I’ve seen this image before, and I’m fairly certain it has been published previously with a copyright. Viriditas (talk) 22:04, 16 March 2022 (UTC)

- No, this is not correct/not what I'm saying. PD-US-No Notice is for photos that the photographer published between 1927 and 1977 without including an explicit copyright notice accompanying the work such as a © symbol and the name of the author. CeltBrowne (talk) 16:29, 17 March 2022 (UTC)
- Okay, but my question remains: how do you know the photo was published without an explicit copyright notice? Most of these photos were lifted from previously published sources and added to blogs and websites, for example. Take the Weston photo, for example, which appears below your preferred image on the same blog. It was published with a copyright notice in 1966. Viriditas (talk) 09:27, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

- Update: I’m not sure, but my guess is that this is a photo from the famous set of Ansel Adams images taken in 1929, in either Santa Fe or Taos, New Mexico. The LOC claims they are copyrighted ("With the exception of the Manzanar War Relocation Center Photographs, Ansel Adams's photographs are protected by copyright. Privacy and publicity rights may apply") but I’m not sure if this applies to this set or not. As you can see on the Ansel Adams page, all of the photos that are used there have explicit exceptions. Then again, this might not be a photo by Ansel Adams. There was one other photographer on the trip with them to New Mexico in 1929, but their name escapes me at the moment. I believe it was a woman.
