Manga

You voted for Manga to be the comics collaboration of the month and it has been selected! Let's knock this article into shape. Remember, to make it to featured article status, it will need to be well referenced. ike9898 14:41, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

I did it!

I found a non-watermarked image of gorillaz at the mtv ema's so please don't delete it! I put it under the Tv Screenshot template, said the tv show is the mtv EMA's, and supplied the URL! You see the pictures on the gorillaz page or here. [1], [2], [3].

What do you think?

Micoolio101 07:14, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Gorillaz

Okay, Fritz. If you have pics from the Grammy awards then that's great. Also, while you're at it, could you put the gorillaz.noodle.jpg. image in the Possibly unfree images list? I wasn't sure if it was from the MTV EMA's or the Grammy awards and I really want it deleted.

Thanks, Micoolio101 23:41, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

PS. Could you give me the URL for the grammy awards screenshots of gorillaz?

I removed your gorillaz and madonna pic with one of my own pics. The reason was that when I clicked on the page of your pic it said: "GORILLAZ AND MADONNA HAVING SEX AT THE 2006 GRAMMY AWARDS." I'm guessing someone vandalised this page by writing it. If it was vandalism you should track down the vandal and block him. If not, then you might want to change the description. I mean, when I clicked the picture I was a little stunned to see that description! Who wouldn't? Plus my pic shows more people so I think it should stay.

I am very confused, are you not the one who added this image? You would be the only person to know the last source of it before it reached Wikipedia. -- Ned Scott 20:20, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

I don't understand either, you have complained now that orphanbot shouldn't notify you when you are the person who tagged the image, [4] but you are also the uploader, and orphanbot notifies the uploader. This image can probably be used in a fair use context and doesn't really need to be deleted. Why are you tagging your own images like this? If you want to delete your own images you can do that, but this isn't the usual method for doing so. - cohesion^t 18:47, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Speedy deletion

Regarding the article Image:-597-1098048720-ok.jpg, which you tagged for speedy deletion with the reason "unsourced, orphan, redundant copy of Image:The Academy Is Almost Here.jpg", I wanted you to know that I have removed the speedy deletion tag. This article does not qualify for speedy deletion because redundant copies of images can only be deleted if they are smaller or the same size as the other image. This image is larger.. If you still want the article to be deleted, please use the WP:IFD process. Thanks! Stifle 12:26, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Courtney Love

at a recent hole concert in my area Courtney said she heard about the mention and thought she would like the song but it "got all faux radical toward the end" and it was "like a bad blue eyed souls song" and he he had "the worst casio keyboard bridge i've ever heard" [5] You think we should include this on the page? It would seem to nicely round it off. M.C. Brown Shoes 22:14, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Images

Hello, you seem to be tagging some images that you uploaded as no source, even though they could conceivably fall under free use? Are you trying to delete the images for other reasons and see this as the easiest way? I'm just a little bit confused. See Image:Gunslinger Girls.jpg - cohesion^t 18:45, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

I was going through some of the images I uploaded earlier, adding copyright informations and fair use rationales. Since I got those images you refer to from websites that didn't list the copyright information, I tagged them as missing source/copyright information. Even images that we use under fair use (or especially those) still need copyright information, right? Hope that explains why I did this this way. --Fritz S. (Talk) 18:56, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Ah, ok I see now, you are tagging a lot of images and just ran across the few you had actually also uploaded? That is a very uncommon occurrence actually, as you can tell by everyone's confusion :) Yes you are right we do like a source for everything, but with things like DVD covers the source is usually easy to find. (although that one looks somewhat obscure so it might be harder). Anyway, this situation is pretty rare, usually the people that tag images tag them correctly at upload so they never run into other image tagging people, and even less often see their own images on the list :) I can't speak for Carnildo about orphanbot, but I doubt he would want to change it for this extremely rare type of event. - cohesion^t 19:03, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Gimme Little Sign

Daniellebrisebois.com mentions something about Gimme Little Sign being "top 10 in the UK" so I just assumed #10. Didn't seem right to me either. M.C. Brown Shoes 12:28, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned Tool

Just to let you know Gmaxwell (talk · contribs) has a tool on the toolserver [6] that lets you see which images are tagged as orphaned unfree images which are actually orphans and have been tagged for > 7 days, so you don't actually have to tag them as speedy deletes. It doesn't matter if you do, of course, just letting you know :) - cohesion^t 18:07, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

Speedy deletes

Hi, it looks like you have tagged a lot of images for speedy deletion that were already in some other deletion process. I thought I might explain some of the image deletion processes. The speedy tags aren't bad really, they are just unnecessary, and create some backlogs in places people might not be looking for them. The templates {{no source}} {{no license}} and {{or-fu}} all place the image in a queue for deletion after 7 days, at the end of those 7 days there are mechanisms for seeing what should be deleted. There is no need to tag them as speedy deletes.

If you have strong feeling about {{permission}} there are probably some images that are only tagged as that in Category:Images used with permission, and adding a {{no license}} or {{db-noncom}} (but not both) would be helpful. If there is already one though, there is no need to add the other. If you don't want to do that there are a lot of images at Wikipedia:Untagged images that don't have any tags at all. I just don't want you to have to waste your time tagging images for deletion that are already in deletion queues elsewhere :) - cohesion^t 18:30, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

Manual of Style

Thanks for telling me abouut the policy regarding the wikification of dates. That must have been added since I joined the project, I have to confess I haven't read the whole manual of style since then. When I get some free time I probably should go through the thing again, I guess it must have changed a bit in the last couple of years. Once again, thanks for pointing the problem out.

Hi, there! I saw that you've contributed to the Yellowcard page. I've been working hard all weekend to get it into an encyclopedia-worthy article, and I think we're almost there!

Blocking Accounts

Hey, fritz. Me again. There is an annoying bot on wikipedia (User:OrphanBot) that needs a good slap (or more simply, being blocked). He vandalised my image Image:Lars ulrich diagram.JPG saying it's incorrect when it is. This bot is becoming a nuisance, not just to me, but to other wikipedians. Also, are bots legal on wikipedia?

Thank you,

You had tagged this image as speedy saying that the licensing is not related to the image. The licensing says that it is a magazine cover, and so does the uploader. Then what is wrong with this image's licensing tag. --May the Force be with you! Shreshth91^{(review me!)} 07:02, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

You may wish to make use of a 'Dates' tab in edit mode that will help with unlinking unnecessary date links. Simply copy the entire contents of User:Bobblewik/monobook.js to your own monobook. Then follow the instructions in your monobook to clear the cache (i.e. press Ctrl-Shift-R in Firefox, or Ctrl-F5 in IE) before it will work. It also provides a 'Units' tab. If you know what you are doing, you can copy and modify the subfiles as you wish. I just thought you might be interested. Regards. bobblewik 20:06, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Image tagging

Thanks for the note about Image:Futurequake issue5.jpg - I have expanded the information the source as much as I can: they sent it to me and asked me to upload it for use with the entry. If my word isn't good enough to clarfiy this then you are welcome to ask them - they have their own forum. (Emperor 22:32, 10 June 2006 (UTC))

Cool - thanks for those extra tags - I'll note them down for future use as I often try and clear my image use with the relevant parties and/or get the information via press releases they send out. (Emperor 16:55, 11 June 2006 (UTC))

Image:Morgoth vs fingolfin.jpg

While you're right that Image:Morgoth vs fingolfin.jpg is a drawing, it still isn't one of the standard test images, and thus qualifies for speedy deletion per CSD I7 because it's tagged {{Standard test}}, which is wrong. --Fritz S. (Talk) 22:22, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

Image source

I received some backlash for my escapades of tagging unsourced images, namely Image:Super Mario Bros box.jpg. I must admit I'm a bit confounded by the lack of consistency, should I assume good faith and leave images with proper tags alone? There was also an argument about source URLs being possibly redundant as they can basically disappear from the Internet at any time. Anyway, thanks for your time. Vic Vipr ^T_C 15:16, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Well, then since these images are freely available on the internet with no limits, how should I tag them? Promotional? Why not make it clearer? Jubella 21:04, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, I realized that as soon as I revisited the page and before I checked my messages. I really wouldn't consider editing a page to remove copyright information vandalism. Besides, there shouldn't even be a rule to not edit a page once it has a copyright template on it as long as the infringing content is removed. Wikipedia is not perfect, unfortunately.

Oh, and I apologize for not following the guidelines. I'll be a good boy from now on.

Re: copyvio

Hello; I'm not quite sure what you are referring to. Can you please tell me? -- Where 21:03, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi again. I was acting based on the directions on WP:CP, which state "Revert the page to a non-copyrighted version if you can; The infringing text will remain in the page history for archival reasons unless the copyright holder asks the Wikimedia Foundation to remove it." I will not revert you until we come to an agreement on this, of course. Let me know what you think. Happy editing! -- Where 21:53, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

I do not believe that the versions that I had edited had any copyrighted material in them (I just double-checked this). Is it okay if I remove the copyvio notice? -- Where 22:56, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Okay; done. One of the articles had some content, so I didn't make it into a redirect. Feel free to do so if you disagree. -- Where 23:10, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

I was aware of the orignal image, but Image:Wapnick-blue-frame.jpg also has a wrong copyright tag (I informed the uploader a couple of days ago, but he does not really seem to care) and it is thus currently tagged for speedy deletion. --Fritz S. (Talk) 13:01, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Okay then, please go ahead per policy then. I will make the necessary changes to the article. Thanks for the heads-up. :) Ste4k 13:06, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Tagging orphaned fair use images

Hi there. Thanks for your bot work tagging orphaned fair use images. Don't forget to notify the uploader using {{subst:orphaned|Image:Imagename.jpg}} on their talk page. This is important so that the uploader has the possibility of remedying the problem. Stifle (talk) 15:32, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Re: Tagging orphaned fair use images

Is it really necessary to inform the uploader? The tag says "may" so I thought it wasn't needed and many of the uploaders haven't edited in quite a while anyway. --Fritz S. (Talk) 15:42, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

What does Possibly unfree Image mean?

For the Image: Image:Hi no Kuni Symbol.gif,

I would think that saying that 'I made it on Photoshop' is good enough for copyright status. Does it want me to list a company name for the Photoshop? A version of Photoshop? Or explicitly how I did it in Photoshop? --Yllianos 14:30, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Speedy Image:Buchanan.jpg

You removed the Speedy tag from Image:Buchanan.jpg saying that "I1 doesn't apply because the image quoted as duplicate is lower standard", but as far as I can see the images are exactly the same (dimensions, file size)...

Logos in Template:Danish parliamentary election, 2005

Hello, Fritz Saalfeld. I'm coming here to ask your advice. I recently removed the logos from Template:Danish parliamentary election, 2005 (talk) because the Wikipedia fair-use policy says that fair-use images should be used in the main article namespace only, and explicitly says they should never be used in templates. However, three different users have reverted my changes, saying that the use of these logos in this template is acceptable. I don't want to do any more unilateral reverting, so I'd like your opinion on the matter. Thank you. —Bkell (talk) 18:50, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

Hiddenstructure in Template:Single entry

The problem with Hiddenstructure is that it is a trick and it only works for single liners like Producer etc., but not for multiline entries. I've changed it into an if statement which is an alternative, however it's extremely hard to read.

Right Now (Atomic Kitten album) is an example where the Hiddenstructure messes up and it's fine now. Ghetto Pop Life is without a chart and that one work as well, hopefully. KittenKlub 06:11, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Okay, I admit, I don't know what the appropriate copyright tag for this image is. If you read it, you'll find I got it from a photocopy of an old Suffolk County(New York) Planning Department map.

Fritzbot and Image:Google(small).png

I am using the image Image:Google(small).png in my monobook.js file for a search button (to replace the search box to the left) (example). I have tagged it as a copyrighted image being used under fair use, and indeed, that image is called by my monobook.js file every time I load a page on Wikipedia. As far as I can tell, such "fair use" is permissible by the allowance at this URL to use the images to link back to Google. However your bot has twice now tagged it as an unused fair-use image. As it is being used (even if it's not in any articles) and as it is acceptable fair use, can you have your bot ignore that page? Thanks. — GT 02:28, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

EDIT: I see - someone used <!-- --> to cut the link out. WhisperToMe 16:03, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Cliffhanger comics.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Cliffhanger comics.gif. 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 there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. 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 uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Unspecified source for Image:Joseph Magliocco.jpg

Hi - this seems to belong to Corbis images, but I can't fathom whether this means it can or can't be used on Wikipedia. I will delete the image if it needs to be deleted but I'm confused between whether it can be shown with the appropriate copyright alongside it, or whether fair use applies, or whether it must be removed without the express permission of Corbis. Guidance would be appreciated...thanks in advance. C i d 20:07, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks - source information added. C i d 11:35, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Possibly unfree Image:707924 bread150.jpg

I don't see any reasons for deletion of this pic. I don't believe that BBC Corporation has anything against its fair usage on Wikipedia. I can't name tha actual author of the pic, but we should consider that it is a fair-usage. Sosomk 08:43, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Ok, As I see you are more aware of the tags. So, please advise which tag is the most appropriate for this image and I would appreciate it.In addition, if you are simply biased by deleting it because you don't like the way it is used on the page please discuss it with me, because I think this pic shows the reality and is relevant for the article.

I think I corrected it. Danke Schon. Aufwiedersehen Sosomk 09:49, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Help with formatting an orphaned image?

Hello. I noticed your bot tagged Image:Cadets logo large.jpg which I had originally updated to replace the logo in The Cadets Drum and Bugle Corps article. However, I'm not that skilled with image sizing, the image breaks the table it needs to be used in, and consequently I just have let it sit there. Can you assist?

Notifying uploader

Hi, could your bot notify uploaders? I think it would be fair... And since it's a bot, it would not complain, would it? :) (I know you would be washed away from angry newbies) Renata 01:29, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

thanks for alerting me

to the fact that the Eddie Boyd cover that i had worked so hard to put together [my scanner does those in 4 scans that then have to be connected] was not copy righted correctly. that was done before wikipedia had all those handy menus. Life is good. Carptrash 05:09, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Triumph.stag.jpg

Thanks Fritz. I have no idea where I got that photo from. Probably technically it's a copyvio in my blissful ignorance of early editing (Nov 2003). It's not used so I've deleted it. -- I@n 23:52, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Talk page

Why does it matter? I obviously am aware of the warnings, and they're visible in the talk page. I don't see the need for it to be right there on my talk page. You really should be less concerned with what I'm doing and focus on your own efforts to improve Wikipedia. Evan Reyes 20:10, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

I uploaded the Kent photo well before wikipedia took copyright violations so seriously. The photo came from the U Chicago page, so I'm pretty sure it's PD. Dinopup 14:47, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

LunaVolume1a.jpg

I am curious I did not change that to freeimage but it seems to be listed as that right now, if someone else did I suggest you check with them. I also have the premission, and yes I know legal issues so you can't take my word for it alone, from one of those at the head of Seven Seas to use such images. Is there a way I can prove that to you or what? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ryokosha (talk • contribs) .

Orphaned image..?

You said that I uploaded an "orphaned" image, but it's used on Shelly Poole's page. So would you be so kind as to not delete it? lol, thanks :)—The preceding unsigned comment was added by -Anthony- (talk • contribs) .

Sorry about that, could you please delete it? Is there a way I can delete it? I couldn't find how.. sorry! -Anthony- 09:18, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

How do licenses work, and what do these licenses, such as GFDL (with {{}}) mean? Moon&Nature talk 19:33, August 26, 2006 (UTC)

Re: Rank insignia of the Galactic Empire images

Sorry about those pictures on the Rank insignia of the Galactic Empire article. I'm not sure what to put down for the copyright. I'll try to explain it as best as I can. I was browsing Category:Images_with_inappropriate_JPEG_compression for an image to make pretty when I found a really sorry-looking JPEG image from a Star Wars article. I initially planned just to remove its compression artifacts and re-upload it as a PNG, but then I noticed that someone had already fixed up one of the images and did an excellent job. So, I decided instead to re-arrange that picture to match the designs of each of the other pictures on the rank insignia article. I replaced Image:Moff2.jpg: with Image:Moff2.png and added the same image Summary and Licensing information to it that the Image:Moff2.jpg: had had. Than I did the same with all of the images in the officer ranks section of the rank insignia article except for the image that their new design was based on of course. Who holds the copyright for the images that I uploaded? Is it Lucas Arts, -cg-, or me? Thanks. Jecowa 01:46, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

thanks!
