[edit] Amazon/copyright?

Hi John, As I mention on the Python talk page, I was really only looking at the grammar of your Wiki link to Pilgrim's book. But the little kerfuffle piqued my interest, and I found your actual entry via your user page (under /temp). So two things:

  1. You originally wrote the review for Amazon, right? Are you sure Amazon doesn't assert copyright on reviews posted there? Sounds sleazy to do so, but I seem to remember something along those lines. If so, just writing it might not be enough to release it to WP.
  2. If you feel like writing a WP entry on my book (also linked to in the references), I'd be more than happy to tell the publisher to send you a reviewer copy. Like Mark's book, mine is free-as-in-beer in the electronic version, but available for money on paper. Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters 12:51, 2005 Jun 8 (UTC)

[edit] Emma Goldmann

Thank you for for trapping my oversight and drawing it to my attention. The fault was entirely mine. I did check the wikisource page, but my attention must have wandered.—Theo (Talk) 1 July 2005 10:41 (UTC)

  • Theo, thanks for the reply - you'll inspire me to do better with my conversation with others here! John Elder 2 July 2005 09:35 (UTC)

[edit] Dive Into Python

Hi, I edited the page you created, I hope you don't mind. Wow your profile is crazy how can you have so much energy to do so much! Looks like you're pretty active. I personally like Art Bell and his show but I know it's all crazy nonsense that's still fun to listen too. Anyways, I like Python too.(Bjorn Tipling 06:35, 30 December 2006 (UTC))

[edit] Untagged image

An image you uploaded, Image:Eisenach-Coat of Arms.gif, was tagged with the {{coatofarms}} copyright tag. This tag was deleted because it does not actually specify the copyright status of the image. The image may need a more accurate copyright tag, or it may need to be deleted. If the image portrays a seal or emblem, it should be tagged as {{seal}}. If you have any questions, ask them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. -- 18:18, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free image (Image:Eisenach-Coat of Arms.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Eisenach-Coat of Arms.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 04:57, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
