[edit] Speedy deletion of Tubrid

A tag has been placed on Tubrid requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Patar knight - chat/contributions 21:58, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image Copyright

{{helpme}} I have an image of a photograph from an Irish newspaper, dated 1921 and need some help deciding on copyright matters. When that has been decided I could do with some assistance posting it to a page I'm working on. In the meantime I'll continue to read on these matters. RashersTierney (talk) 18:33, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Hello Rashers, unfortunately uploading images still confuses me and I cannot help you on this. Don't feel bad for not being unable to do so, you will pick it - hopefully quicker than me! However once you have the images successfully uploaded I can happily assist you with placing it on an article; that I can do! Please leave a message at my talk page when the photo is uploaded. I have left the message on your Talk Page so others can assist, and if there is anything please message me or go to Help Desk. Adam (Manors) 18:45, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
From what I can tell in going through Irish copyright law (see here, keep hitting "next" to read the whole chapter), the copyright for the photo should expire 70 years after the author's death. If you can find some sort of evidence showing when the photographer died, that should give you an idea of when the copyright will expire. If it already has (he died before January 1, 1938), then you can upload it with the tag {{PD-Ireland}} to show that it is in the public domain. If not, you'll have to upload it under a claim of fair use, and make a note of when the copyright is set to expire in your rationale. As I'm not 100% on this, you may be best off asking again at Wikipedia talk:Copyright problems, but I'm fairly sure that's the answer they'll give. Once it's uploaded, see Help:Images for how to add it to an article. Hope this helps. Hersfold (t/a/c) 19:04, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Many thanks for replies. I've posted this question at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions and am hoping for further guidance there.

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:District Inspector Gilbert Norman Potter.JPG

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:District Inspector Gilbert Norman Potter.JPG. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Polly (Parrot) 22:00, 23 April 2008 (UTC)


I finally succeeded in adding a Non-free historic image tag to the photo, and hope this suffices for the purpose of including in in a page I am working on.

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:District Inspector Gilbert Norman Potter.JPG)

Thanks for uploading Image:District Inspector Gilbert Norman Potter.JPG. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 12:21, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Gilbert Potter picture

You have to provide a fair use rationale for it. I'm not entirely sure, having not dealt with too many images myself, but try Help:Image page for more information. Hope that helps! --Patar knight - chat/contributions 02:32, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Good to see that. Hope you become a regular here. --Patar knight - chat/contributions 19:07, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Caher

Hi. I understand the comment about "needing a sit down when that was removed". I appreciate that some work/research went into that. As noted, however, it wasn't quite right for the context. What you might consider instead is adding a note or two in the Place names in Irish article about "places starting with Caher-" and explain the etymology. Again, I wouldn't list every place that happens to have Caher in it, but it might be a way to salvage some of your research. Guliolopez (talk) 23:44, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Geoffrey Keating as Gael at Ballylooby

Hey Rashers, I never meant to infer his ethnicity or nationality. A gaelic historian is a historian of gaelic stuff. Gaelic is a disambiguation page, so [little or no articles] should refer to it. I changed it to Gaels as I believed that he was someone wo studied/wrote the history of the Gaels. Either way, "Gaelic" can mean upto 18 things, I just picked one. Bogger (talk) 16:31, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
I understand, I just don't think you picked the most appropriate one. It makes a difference.RashersTierney (talk) 16:37, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
