Better source request for File:JT-Piano Concert No. 2 (1953).jpg

Thanks for uploading File:JT-Piano Concert No. 2 (1953).jpg. You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact Web page where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain or the URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page or me at my talk page. Thank you.

Thanks for the fast response :) - If you can update the image with the explanation you gave in

your email, and send a note to the OTRS permission queue (see WP:COPYREQ) I think this will be resolved. Thanks for responding :) Sfan00 IMG (talk) 22:51, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Silhouette

I have been looking for an image that was good enough to go in that space next to the iconic Iraq War picture, since we cannot use the iconic image from E.T.. Since the article is primarily about an artform, not about a jetty, or swans, the creator of the image must be acknowledged as the artist. Please go back to that page and fill in your name and give the image a title, other than just the location. Amandajm (talk) 05:00, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Translation on de:

Hi Etan, I tripped over de:Josef Tal and worked a bit on the translation of the list of compositions. A couple of questions remain, could you please advise me?

  1. Scene (1978/1982) ... (to be acted). – I first mistook "to be acted" as "yet to be premiered", but now I think it means "to be performed on-stage/scenic". Did I get it right?
  2. MagT - I couldn't resolve the abbreviation beyond doubt. Does it mean Magnetic Tape?

--FordPrefect42 (talk) 18:42, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Dear FordPrefect42, Thanks you for translating and for your interest. As you may guess I have a very personal interest with this page, which is well described in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Josef_Tal, and in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Josef_Tal/Comments .
As to your questions:
  1. "to be performed on-stage/scenic" is correct
  2. MagT = Magnetic Tape
For details pls visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_compositions_by_Josef_Tal
Some months ago Benutzer:Akeuk began translating the article, but somehow this is not continuing now. If this is of any interest to you, you might cooperate with him/her to complete the work. I update the English article frequently, and this is the reliable source for translating into other languages. Evidently the German article is unique because of my father's biography and involvement in German culture life, so there might be significant difference there. Please let me know if you need any information or clarification - being his son I probably have some sources unavailable to others which might contribute to the article, so do not hesitate to ask.
You may also visit http://toolserver.org/~daniel/WikiSense/Gallery.php?wikifam=commons.wikimedia.org&img_user_text=Etan_J._Tal and use any photo you find relevant...

Thanks again - Etan J. Tal 21:42, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

Dear Etan, thank you very much for your kind answer and for clarifying this. I promise to get in touch with Akeuk for cooperating on this, and to keep an eye on the article. I hope I will find some time soon to enrich the article with information from its English counterpart. BTW, is there any chance to hear your father's music, on the internet or from any other source?

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 18:20, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Crosses in German Wikipedia

Hi Etan, we had (at least) three polls ("Meinungsbild") in the German Wikipedia about that question.[1][2][3] The majority has voted against allowing other signs for birth and death (or against the poll itself) in all polls. AFAIR most voters consider the cross to be a genealogic sign and not a religious one in the given context. If you want to answer personally, please use my German discussion page. --Eike sauer (talk) 10:30, 19 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Etan, just a quick note to point out that your sig doesn't actually link to your userpage/talkpage as it should, please could you fix that. Thanks--Jac16888 Talk 00:10, 4 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You are right, of course. How do I correct this? Thanks!Etan J. Tal 00:15, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
Are you signing using ~~~~ or the signature button above the edit box? If not and you're just typing it out, then ~~~~ is how you need to do it. Otherwise, you must have changed something in your preferences, in which case you need to change it there, the basic sig is just [[User:Etan J. Tal|Etan J. Tal]] ([[User talk:Etan J. Tal|talk]]), so you can just copy that into the box on your prefs page, and if you want something fancy after that you can go here for a guide on customising it--Jac16888 Talk 00:24, 4 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No man's land

The section on Israel will require more prose before it can accommodate an image.--Labattblueboy (talk) 17:41, 22 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that the section Israel-Jordan is short, but since it is well referenced you did not delete it. The whole article contains only one image, which relates to one of the three sections. My photo was intended to illustrate one of the other two. I could not find any WP guide which states the minimal length of prose "required to accommodate a photo". On the other hand WP [[4]] states: "…Images must be relevant to the article that they appear in and be significantly and directly related to the article's topic. Because the Wikipedia project is in a position to offer multimedia learning to its audience, images are an important part of any article's presentation. Effort should therefore be made to improve quality and choice of images or captions in articles rather than favoring their removal, especially on pages which have few visuals….". Consequently I suggest that you reconsider your deletion, or alternatively specify the specific WP guideline that supports your opinion. Etan J. Tal(talk) 18:58, 22 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Sections should normally contain more than a sentence or two of text. In such a situation the image crosses that section, the see also section and part of the references section. If you don't think you'll expand the text any further, you could place both it and the image in the Cold War section.--Labattblueboy (talk) 13:11, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Colors on Airbus cockpit window

Thanks for the beautiful photo of colors on an Airbus windshield that you added last month. One question: did you use a polarizing filter on the camera? That is essential information to distinguish stress induced colors from the interference colors that may be caused by the very thin heating layer in the windshield. Ceinturion (talk) 06:52, 4 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No, I have not used any filter at all. I took this photo from the passengers gate through the glass-wall, which might have a polarizing effect that I'm not aware of. Anyway, since I'm not an expert in physics, pls let me know if your interpretation is different and the caption should be corrected. Thanks! Etan J. Tal(talk) 07:29, 4 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I used your photo in a discussion about the reflection colors on the windshield of trains, in a Dutch forum (if your browser doesn't translate it, you might still enjoy the images). The windshield is made of Electriplex glass, which contains a transparent, electrically conductive heating layer. The layer is so thin that interference colors appear, similar to soap bubbles. There is not yet a final answer in that discussion, so I can't suggest a better caption, but a distinctive difference is that interference colors can be seen without polaroid glasses, whereas reflection colors in birefringent plastic can only be seen with polaroid glasses. Ceinturion (talk) 09:47, 4 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Is that a good reason for the pilots not to wear Polaroid sunglasses? Pls keep me updated once a resolution is reached... Etan J. Tal(talk) 09:55, 4 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
It is one of the reasons: "Polarized lenses may also interfere with visibility through an aircraft windscreen by enhancing striations in laminated materials".[5] A request: could you add a remark that the photo was taken without any polarizing filter on the camera to the description on this page? Ceinturion (talk) 12:11, 4 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Done! Etan J. Tal(talk) 15:33, 4 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Courtesy of 88.164.16.51 the picture was moved to Thin-film interference. The full explanation is: Fringes observed on airbus Airbus windshield due to thin film interference caused by a conductive Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) thin film deposited on the window for electrical defrosting/defogging. The fringes are strongly visible because the thin film thickness is highly non-uniform on purpose: as the voltage is applied on two opposite points of the window, a uniform conductive film (uniform sheet resistance) would lead to non-uniform current density, and non-uniform defrosting. Some window parts, especially on the sides and far from the electrical contacts, would dissipate less heat, and defrosting would be significantly less efficient here. The ITO thickness pattern is cleverly designed to provide a rather uniform heat dissipation over the whole window. Etan J. Tal(talk) 21:55, 11 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (File:RusselSquarePlaneCoincidence.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:RusselSquarePlaneCoincidence.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 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 'file' 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 "File" 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. – Quadell (talk) 12:56, 25 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I intended to use the file in coincidence, but I wait until it is confirmed to be used under our policy for non-free media). That is the reason why it is still orphan. Asking about the status of this image I received today one answer: "It is a non-free image that is not used in any article, so fails WP:NFCC#7 and I doubt you can really justify its use because a free image to illustrate a coincidence such as this could be made. ww2censor (talk) 12:22, 25 December 2013 (UTC)".
