Image of the Arecibo reply

Hello. I have temporalily worked on the same article in the German Wikipedia, which is called Arecibo-Botschaft. For a better credibility of this specific section I am searching for a way to implant an image of the Arecibo reply, just as it is in the English Wikipedia.

Due to the fact that you are holding the copyright to this image, I would like to ask you, if you could allow to implant this same image into the German article. I personally haven't implanted images before, but I could try to do it. Thanks for your time in advance.

My German user name is Sysa. --78.48.51.94 (talk) 16:12, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi Sysa, unfortunately I am not the copyright holder Image:AreciboReply.jpg. I uploaded it to the English Wikipedia and used the copyright image under United States fair use. See the image page by following the image link above for more details. The German Wikipedia may follow a similar fair use policy, but unfortunately I don't read your language. There may be more information in the Help secion of your Wiki. Goodluck! --Breno talk 04:21, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Image:FullMoonShow.jpg

Breno thank you for noticing this, however the owner of this image has given me permission to use this image in the article The Full Moon Show, as he wishes to expand the podcasts listeners base and have a resource for listeners and non listeners alike. I added the 100 years template because the use on wikipedia template gave a message of instant deletion, if you would not mind helping me allow this image for use it would be much appreciated, I am quite unsure about some things as this is the first image I have uploaded onto Wikipedia. Thank You. Seanor3 (talk) 17:41, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

I went through the FMS Terms of Use on their site. It doesn't mention that media is released under a particular licence, only that it is copyright. For now, I have corrected the image to be labeled as a copyright logo, and wrote a brief fair use rationale how it is being used here.
If you could point me where the show says they licence their work please let me know. If he told you personally please explain the licence they want to use, and I'll get in touch with them about a process where they email Wikipedia granting us permission. The main thing they need to understand, however, is that not only Wikipedia needs permission, but all its downstream projects (commercial or otherwise) will be able to use the image.
I have copied this discussion over to the PUI discussion for reference --Breno talk 01:00, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

CBC Radio 3

Please note that you cannot empty a category yourself and then request speedy deletion on the grounds that it's an empty category, unless you have an actual WP:CFD consensus to delete the category. Category:CBC Radio 3 programs was created for a reason — CBC Radio consists of three different networks, and it's not helpful to simply have them all of the programs lumped into a single CBC-wide category rather than separate cats for each individual network. If you don't think it's useful, then you're free to try it at CFD, but the way you went about deleting it in this case is inappropriate.

I'm also unclear on why you removed Category:CBC Radio 3 from the Internet radio and podcast categories. All three are separate components of the station's operations — the Internet radio stream is not a simulcast of the satellite radio station, but an independently-programmed stream with a separate programming schedule. Could you please clarify what your rationale was? Bearcat (talk) 01:32, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi Bearcat, I removed the category Category:CBC Radio 3 programs as there was only four articles contained in this category. My understanding was that categories with fewer than 30 or so articles could me merged if they were so closely related, and I guess I was a little too hasty on the delete. I noticed you applied the correct process of CSD at CBC Radio 3 programs which I do appreciate.
I removed Category:CBC Radio 3 from Category:Audio podcasts as we at WP:PODCAST use it to list shows that are distributed by podcasting, not for radio stations that have shows, some of which are distributed via podcasting. Check out the Audio podcasts cat to see where I'm coming from. I also removed Category:Internet radio in a similar thought, but mainly because CBC Radio 3 is already in nine cats already, and seems a little over-categorised for such a small cat. --Breno talk 07:12, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for the kind works, the infobox does make things simpler indeed. Saebhiar Adishatz 01:57, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

I commented further on the possibly undree image discussion page but the source site for this image has since clearly released this photo CC-by-2.5 which is one of WP's acceptable image licenses.70.52.182.154 (talk) 01:26, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Y Done Thanks for the update. Reply is over on the discussion. --Breno talk 13:06, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Re: Cube News 1 Images

Part of this is due to my being new here, and not understanding things. I certainly do not wish to get you into copyright problems.

The pictures, while copyrighted, are used with permission from Kim Waldauer, the holder. When I told her I wanted to do this article and needed better pictures to process, she sent me the much larger originals, and a permission for this specific usage E-Mail. How can I make Wikipedia comfortable about this? Can I ask her to send you a letter of permission? dmelliott 21:59, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi dmelliott. Being a free project under the GNU FDL we need to take copyright and licensing issues seriously, so thanks for understanding the reason for tagging the images.
If you do have a permission email forward it to permissions-en AT wikimedia DOT org where OTRS will review and update the images. However, check to make sure the email has all the right info on it check out requesting copyright permission, particularly the declaration of consent section (probably the most important part is that Kim not only gives permission for Wikipedia to use the images, but also all downstream projects, including projects that may be for commercial use). Let me know how it goes. Thanks. --Breno talk 00:58, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
While I do have permission, it does not begin to comply with the Wikipedia requirements (looks more like the bad example example). I have sent off a request to the holder, but she is not too technical or legal. If I could have an extra week on this, it would be a big help.
She went to modify the copyright statement at her site, to say written permission, and it is now broken. Bet you don't get invited over to watch tennis. dmelliott 03:09, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
Under CSD policy images may be removed one week after appropriate tagging. This means if there is no source (either website or OTRS ticket) to prove these images are truly licenced under CC by-sa-3.0 they may be deleted after 18 January. Note this does not mean the Cube News article is up for deletion, only the images with no source info on the article. Please leave the deletion tags on the images until source information is supplied. Cheers. --Breno talk 06:58, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
Sorry. The instructions said to put something there to describe the permission, so I did. Still requesting an extra week, before picture deletion, to get this all straightened out, if I might. dmelliott 15:14, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
Sorry. I missed this reply on my talk page. Good to hear it got sorted though. --Breno talk 08:47, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
I have an E-Mail of consent for image use at Wikipedia, and have taqged and acknowledged the images accordingly. However, this image site editing does not prove that I do have consent. What do you want me to do with the E-Mail? dmelliott 05:52, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
Forward a copy to permissions-en AT wikimedia DOT org where the crew over there will keep a permanent copy and mark the images accordingly. Once they update the images everything will be done. Much appreciated. --Breno talk 08:47, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
Thanks. You're a pleasure to work with. However, the image process instructions are not. Now that I have been through it, I see that it is really very very simple. The instructions are in serious need of revision, as you can tell from all the people writing in.
I have noticed one thing about many of Wikipedia's instruction pages, that is very bad form, and would get you in trouble if a commercial instruction writer. They start out with all the if's, and's, and but's, contingencies, reasons, and sometimes a weather report. Instructions are supposed to start out with a step by step process of what to do if everything goes right, with references, e.g. links to below, for expanded details. With the instructions mainly dealing with how things can go wrong, and spread over several locations, your, and the user's, job is greatly enlarged.
It looks like there was an original instruction, a problem was discovered, and its description was added to the beginning of the article because it was of great concern for the editor. This, of course, made the directions for how to do it right harder to find, and resulted in more errors, resulting in another paragraph of how not to do it being placed before the statements about how to do it, etc., etc., etc. dmelliott 03:51, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
Thank you dmelliott for the kind words. Much appreciated :) I admit yeah sometimes the instructions, guidelines, and policies on this project are a lot to take in and understand, particularly for new users. I'm not going to promise I'll fix them all tomorrow, or that it can be done by me alone. It's the input from editors like me and you into these processes that will help get them ironed out in the long run. --Breno talk 11:20, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

About Ryūzō Ishino

What happened to the Ryūzō Ishino article?Kitty53 (talk) 00:11, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi, the article was deleted after a discussion regarding the notability of the article. There was a fairly straight forward consensus in the discussion to delete, but if you feel it was not correct the decision can be reviewed. --Breno talk 00:45, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button Image:Signature_icon.png located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 02:35, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Oh dear signbot. When users put a REDIRECT on a talk page, they don't need to sign. I'll be letting your boss know about this one ;) --Breno talk 08:49, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Template:User WikiProject Gridiron Aus

A tag has been placed on Template:User WikiProject Gridiron Aus requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a deprecated or orphaned template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.

If the template is intended to be substituted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page indicating that it is substituted so as to avoid any future mistakes (<noinclude>{{transclusionless}}</noinclude>).

Thanks. --MZMcBride (talk) 19:47, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

E8400

Another editor has added the {{prod}} template to the article E8400, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Shoulder pads

I added an image to the article because I feel the current pic doesn't adequately illustrate the subject. I'll defer to your judgement on this. TimmyTruck (talk) 12:25, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

I figure one image is enough for such a short article, but not my decision if more are added. Do you have a clear image of just one shoulder pad set? So that the parts can be identified. --Breno talk 00:27, 8 March 2008 (UTC)


Cube News 1

Dear Breno,
Why are the Cube News 1 pictures still marked for instant demolition, supposedly months ago, even though the citing at the bottom of the page has been removed?

G'day

G'day esteemed person who has expressed interest in Sydney based meetups at this page (I hope that's the correct wording for the formal greeting!!). You may have heard that Australia is to have its very own 'chapter' of the Wikimedia Foundation - and further, there's a meeting coming up to discuss / enact the chapter's incorporation (details here). I'm afraid that I don't know too much about the details of what this entails, other than having a private hope that we might get a secret handshake, and maybe cheap coffee at wikimania (this is a poor attempt at humour - I'm sure that the Chapter's do great work, and it's a good thing that Australia is to have one).

If you're interested in meeting up this weekend (the set date is the 20th) - or later, then please do head over here and sign up, or make a comment at the talk page... the drive to create the chapter has largely come from another town in Australia that I'm afraid I haven't actually heard much about.. and anything they can do.... right? - cheers, Privatemusings (talk) 11:11, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:Merit_(band)_Group.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Merit_(band)_Group.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Rettetast (talk) 22:27, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
