From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hi there,

I see that you are a pro-Cannabis Wikipedian so I hope this will be of some interest to you.

I've started a Marijuana wiki (aka The Sticky Wiki) which I think you might be interested in. I'm hoping you can help me get started with this project. Whereas lots of articles about weed get speedy-deleted on Wikipedia, they would be totally cool over at MarijuanaWiki. But really I want the site to be more of a marijuana community than merely an encyclopedia.

To give you an example, I want to have city guides about where to score, find pot-friendly cafes, marijuana events, and what represents a good price in that city. Etc. (You can check out the featured article: "Toronto" to see what I mean). I also want to have grow diaries and marijuana blogs. All in all, basically more communal than encyclopedic.

I am in need of admins/moderators, and people experienced with MediaWiki to help build policy, categories, and templates, etc. If you'd be interested in helping me with this project, the URL is MarijuanaWiki

Thanks for your time and consideration. Hope to see you there!

[edit] License tagging for Image:Megarhyssa.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Megarhyssa.jpg. Wikipedia gets hundreds of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 03:06, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.

[edit] License tagging for Image:IMG 4453.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:IMG 4453.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:BigT.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:BigT.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then you need to specify who owns the copyright, please. If you got it from a website, then a link to the website where it was taken from with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 16:53, 10 January 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kaldari 16:53, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Question about cytauxzoonosis image

I've been going through all of the veterinary medicine articles for the purpose of assessment and also to see if I can find appropriate images. I saw the image you uploaded for use at cytauxzoonosis, Image:Cytaux.jpg, and I saw it was tagged as public domain due to creation by the CDC, part of the federal government. However, you listed the source as the Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine, which has nothing to do with the CDC or the federal government. It appears that the source of the image is here, and this page shows that the whole atlas is copyrighted. I'm trying to make sure that all the images on the vet med pages are free images, but it looks like this one isn't. I wanted to let you know before I listed it for deletion over at wikimedia commons, and also to make sure I'm not making a mistake. --Joelmills 21:03, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

I've just listed it for deletion. -Joelmills 16:18, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Megarhyssa.jpg

Thanks for uploading this image to Wikipedia. There is however another Wikimedia foundation project called Wikimedia Commons, a central media repository for all free media. In the future, please consider creating an account and uploading media there instead. That way, all the other language Wikipedias can use them too, as well as our many sister projects. This will also allow our visitors to search for, view and use our media in one central location. Thanks again, and please continue uploading! Richard001 08:41, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Downs syndrome images

There is a lot of history here....my son's image on this page has been regularly vandalised and abused, and oceans of electrons have been wasted already making suggestions for changes. It's a positive image, and the consensus has been to keep it. Please check the image history...I wouldnt want any other parent to be subjected to some of the abuse, let alone ask someone from Ghana to give permission for their childs image to be used unless they were fully appraised of the likely uses to which it would be put by ignorant people. Thanks ;-) Excalibur 17:36, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Logba

Yes, I miss the kids too! Anyway, I'll be back before too long. This year I've been helping to bring a group of musicians and dancers from Tumu over to Scotland to play at our festival http://www.kic.me.uk - maybe I shall get the chance to travel back with them and go back to Logba too...it's such a beautiful area, and so different from the north-west.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:0077qfxs.jpeg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:0077qfxs.jpeg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under 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 the image description page and edit it to include a 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 "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 criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:0077qfxs.jpeg

Thanks for uploading Image:0077qfxs.jpeg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. BritandBeyonce (talk•contribs) 08:36, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
