What's going on with the above page mate? One moment it's speedy deleted, the next it's back without even an AFD tag. It's spam, as are some of his other articles. --kingboyk 03:29, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Userboxy stuff

Hmm I seem to remember that there are more userboxes chez Merovinigian. It's a good place to get ideas for new boxes - I highly recommend it. Note: I am not a sock puppet of User:Merovingian. :-) - 16:38, 2 February 2006 (UTC) The Great Gavini talking is fun!

Image copyright problem with Image:Al-Salam Boccaccio sinking in Red Sea new.png

Hi Admrboltz,

Regarding the image above: I stated in the comment when I added it that it was a copy of Image:Al-Salam_Boccaccio_sinking_in_Red_Sea.png, with the cities added. I wanted to set the same licence (Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 License), but it was not available in the list of proposed licenses. Actually, I wanted to replace the previous image with mine, but that doesn't seem to be possible. Does this help ? -- Ze miguel 21:07, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

I put the file on commons, updated the article, and requested speedy deletion of the image I had created. Thanks for your help.

Here you go

I award this Working Man's Barnstar to you for your excellent work on WP:IFD. Punkmorten 22:12, 3 February 2006 (UTC)


copyright status of images i've uploaded

I think if you'd bothered to look, you would have seen that I am quite proficient at adding copyright tags. Furthermore, you would have seen that the image itself includes copyright information (it is not subject to copyright). Lastly, you would see from my recent history: 

# 01:27, January 23, 2006 (hist) (diff) Image:DSC03866-cropped.jpg ({{GFDL}} (my) GLOCK 21, per request. Size "AA" battery for comparison.)  (top)

That the vast majority of images I upload are works of employees of the US Military. Is this somehow unclear? Avriette 23:39, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for notifying me, the wrong tag was placed on the image. Anyway, i have replaced the tag with the proper one. Thanks again, and please notify me if this happens in the future. Alex43223 05:48, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

==Image Tagging Image:Mission7.jpg==

This is an album cover. I CLEARLY placed a tag that identified it as such. The tag CLEARLY specifies CD covers as fair use. I do not see what the problem is. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Simon Beavis (talk • contribs) .

Re: Protecting images

I know that; I've uploaded, protected, and properly tagged many main page images already. Is there a specific image you were referring to? I may have made a mistake. Oh, wait - are you referring to Image:Pope Gregory XIII.jpg? Mea culpa; a mistake on my part - I must have looked at the already created image description page and didn't realize it was from Commons and hadn't been uploaded. I apologize; I'll be more careful in the future. Thanks for letting me know! Flcelloguy (A note?) 16:07, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Ting pei.jpg)

Hai Admrboltz, thank you for helping me identify the copyright status of the above image. I believed that the image was inadvertently orphaned when the original article Betty Ting Pei was claimed to have infringed someone's copyright. I rewrote the article again, and now it seems there has been no complaints so far. Thank you for your assistance. It would be a shame to forego an image that is rather rare and useful for the said article! — PM Poon 08:03, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

No source tag

Hello Admrboltz, the given url is not a complete information. Please use an appropriate tag from Wikipedia:Image copyright tags to get rid of no source tag. Thank you, -- Shyam (T/C) 22:40, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Source Information

I don't really get the tags involved so I'll just post the information here and hope you have the time to do it. Image is Image:Toadhotel.jpg and I got it from http://www.daviswiki.org/Toad_Tunnel --Phoenix Hacker 03:13, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Done. --Admrb♉ltz (T | C) 03:26, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Your userpage was briefly delisted by a rogue admin

This user believes that only articles need reflect a NPOV, and that displaying political, religious, or other beliefs using userboxes and user categories should not be banned.

You have a userbox User:Hexagon1/UN which links your userpage to United Nations Wikipedians. There is currently a movement to ban userboxes from Wikipedia which are shared and which create Lists of Wikipedians. Certain admins have taken it upon themselves to preemptively sabotage and/or delete such categories and template. Here is the incident report which reported damage to yours, in which hundreds of userpages were delinked from categories without the users' knowledge. They have been stopped, barely, and the damage reverted— for now.

There is a Wikipedia:Userbox policy poll, which if passed, will make required by policy the damage done to categories and templates such as User UN/United Nations Wikipedians. If you do not want this to happen, I urge you to vote Oppose. in the poll. Support is currently running at about 66%, and your vote could make the difference. It is said to require 75%-80% to be deemed reflective of consensus.

Thank you,

~ Trisreed my talk my contribs 00:04, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

No source

There is clearly some bizarre Wikipedia policy that I don't understand. Can you explain why you think Image:Mugmapd.jpg has no source information, when it very clearly states in the description that it's a work of the US government? I'd be happy to add more specific source information, but since it seems to me that the information is already there, I wouldn't have the slightest idea how to go about adding it. (It's a product of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, and it can be found on their web site [2].) -- Captaindan 10:49, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Ah, I see now. I didn't know that a source URL was required. Thanks for your help! -- Captaindan 23:23, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Self-improvement

Holi greetings from an Indian wikipedian. I have been around here for about a year, including being an administrator from 18th September 2006. I request you to kindly do me the favor of providing me your valuable comments and suggestions on my contributions, activities and behavior pattern. I shall be awaiting your free and frank opinion, which you are most welcome to kindly give here. Thanks. --Bhadani 16:01, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Welcome to Esperanza

Welcome, Admrboltz/Archive 4, to Esperanza, the Wikipedia member association! As you might know, all the Esperanzians share one important goal: the success of this encyclopedia. Within that, we then attempt to strengthen the community bonds, and be the "approachable" side of the project. All of our ideals are held in the Charter, the governing document of the association.

Now that you are a member, you might be interested in some of our programs. A quite important program is the StressUnit, which seeks to support editors who have encountered any stress from their Wikipedia events, and are seeking to leave the project. So far, Esperanza can be credited with the support and retention of several users. A spam list is maintained by Redwolf24 to keep members up to date; you might want to consider adding your name to the list. Also, we have a calendar of special events, member birthdays, and other holidays that you can add to and follow.

In addition to these projects, several more missions of Esperanza are in development, and are currently being created at Esperanza/Possibles.

I encourage you to take an active voice in the running of Esperanza. We have a small government system, headed by our Administrator general, Celestianpower, and guided by the Advisory Committee , KnowledgeOfSelf, JoanneB, Titoxd and FireFox. The elections have ended.

If you have any other questions, concerns, comments, or general ideas, Esperanzian or otherwise, know that you can always contact me via email or talk page. Alternatively, you could communicate with fellow users via our IRC channel, #wikipedia-esperanza (which is also good for a fun chat or two :). I thank you for joining Esperanza, and look forward to working with you in making Wikipedia a better place to be!

Thanks! File:Ottawa flag.png nathanrdotcom (T • C • W) 23:56, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

Image:Drwhostub-02.JPG

This image had source info listed until an anon removed it earlier today. Was the old info sufficient for copyright purposes, or does Angmering need to provide more? (I've also asked this at Image talk:Drwhostub-02.JPG.) —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 05:19, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

As requested I've changed the copyright tag to GFDL-self, but the page has always said who created the image, me. Although I see from Josiah's message above that an anon apparently removed the page info earlier today, so you might have seen the image then. Angmering 07:43, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

{{AT&T}}

Hey! Thank you for getting the AT&T template changed. When I tried to start an AT&T template, it kept wanting to start an "AT" template, and wouldn't add on the "&T". I'll make sure this is taken care of. KansasCity 21:23, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Image:Toko.jpg

You continue to ask for a source for this image, but BANDAI IS the source. the image comes directly from the anime series Digimon Adventure. They created the image. I fail to see what more information is needed. And as far as I can tell, a source is only needed to help determine the copy-write usage, and it's already stated that Bandai owns the image, owns the character, and the usage is fair-use. It seems to be that anything less than a URL will not please you, and assuming that all images come from other websites is silly. Again, this is official character art of the character "Tokomon" from the anime series Digimon Adventure, in-which all content is owned by Bandai. Please see Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Digimon Systems Update#Image:Toko.jpg for further discussion of this, as it is now spanning three user talk pages. -- Ned Scott 08:09, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Logos, etc

Hi - In going through some 'no source' images I noticed that you have been tagging logos and coats of arms as 'no source' even though the copyright is clearly owned by the company or group in question. As I understand it, a specific URL is not needed when the copyright owner is known/obvious. Have you heard differently? -SCEhardT 16:45, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Not to be argumentative, but I'm positive that everything doesn't have to have a source URL (for example, a photo I took myself that only exists on the Internet at Wikipedia). Could you point me to where you read that all logos need to have a source URL (rather than just specifying who owns the logo)? Thanks! -SCEhardT 19:29, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

I guess what we're disagreeing on is the meaning of 'source' in this context. For example, if I wanted to upload a 1980's AT&T logo to comment on how it had changed over the years, I might have to download it from Logos-R-Us.com. However, this 3rd party would not own the logo nor any rights to it. I don't think they would need to be credited since the original source is still AT&T. I will admit, however, I'm no expert on copyright law. I'll research this some more and think about where to bring up the question in a more public place on Wikipedia (and of couse point you to that discussion if I start one). -SCEhardT 22:35, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Less Condescension, Please

In notifying me of the deletion of Kingofthehill, you pasted a cute little form letter sort of thing:

Welcome to Wikipedia! We could really use your help to create new content, but your recent additions are considered non-notable and have been reverted or removed. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. (et cetera)

The problem is that I have over 2000 edits under my belt, so it's a little late...one might even say insulting...to be "welcomed" and told to look at X to "learn more about contributing". You accidentally came off as arrogant and sloppy, though of course you're not, by failing to take a few seconds to see that I'm no newbie. --Kaz 20:05, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Rodovid.org

Hi, I found you from the category of Wikipedian genealogists. I wonder if you have heard of/been involved in any of the previous attempts at starting a genealogy wiki under the foundation. Seeing as you were in the category, I thought you may be interested in the new project proposal, Rodovid. This project is currently running at rodovid.org. I would greatly appreciate it if you could visit the site and give me your opinion of it. Any input at all will be useful. Thanks. --Bjwebb (talk) 10:34, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

Esperanza Newsletter, Issue #1

Reach out is a program aimed at allowing users to bring issues that they have had in Wikipedia to a listening, sympathetic and caring audience:
"No one can know how we feel if we do not say. We cannot expect to get understanding if we do not ask for it. No one will dispute that sometimes life's issues are too much for one person. It is fair to say that sometimes Wikipedia's problems fall under the same heading. This is a place where you can bring the bruises that can sometimes be got on this project for attention."
The Stress alerts program aims at identifying users who are stressed, alerting the community of thier stress and works in tandem with the Stressbusters at trying to identify causes of stress and eliminating them.
Note from the editor
Welcome to this new format of the Esperanza Newsletter, which came about during the last Advisory Council meeting - we hope you like it! The major changes are that each month, right after the Council meeting, this will be sent out and will include two featured programs and a sum up of the meeting. Also, it will be signed by all of the Advisory Council members, not just Celestianpower. Have an Esperanzial end of March, everyone!
  1. Future meetings are to be held monthly, not fortnightly as before.
  2. Bans and Access level changes (apart from autovoice) in the IRC channel are to be reported at the new log.
  3. In the IRC channel, there is going to be only one bot at a time.
  4. The charter requires members to have 150 edits and 2 weeks editing. Why this is the case will be clarified.
  5. A new Code of Conduct will be drafted by JoanneB and proposed to the Esperanza community.
  6. The NPA reform idea is to be dropped officially.
  7. Charter ammendments are to be discussed in future, not voted on.
  8. The Advisory Council is not going to be proposed to be expanded by the Advisory Council themselves, if others want to propose it, they will listen.
Signed...

Don Harlow stub

I'm curious to know why you tagged the Don Harlow stub for cleanup. I didn't create the article and have no vested interest in it, I'm just curious. I've been here a bit too long to call myself a newbie, but the amount of time I'm able to spend editing Wikipedia articles is limited, so I often feel like I'm new even though I'm not. It seems like a perfectly good stub to me, and there were no comments on the talk page to enlighten me (in fact, there is no talk page at all). As I said, my dander's not up or anything, I'm just curious. —CKA3KA (Skazka) 22:16, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. That clears things up for me nicely. The old version was indeed very much in need of cleanup. Does the cleanup template need to be removed, now? If so, I'll be happy to do it—or you can. Lemmeknow. —CKA3KA (Skazka) 22:49, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
