What do you think of freeing this page from old bot messages? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:03, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

Gerda Arendt, thank you so much for the kind words, and the nudge. Had been meaning too, is a bit of a hassle on mobile but I’ll stop stalling! Innisfree987 (talk) 16:43, 14 November 2020 (UTC)
And what a truly beautiful photograph. You have no idea how much I needed to see that today! Gratefully, Innisfree987 (talk) 16:45, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

GA review of Priscilla Jana

Hello, an editor has 5x expanded this article which you recently created and there is now a GA review open at Talk:Priscilla Jana/GA1. I ballsed up the ping so I thought I'd drop you a line here in case you want to be involved. Mujinga (talk) 15:14, 27 November 2020 (UTC)

Image at Priscilla Jana

Hi there. I am following up here to see if you can help me with the fair use path for getting an alternate image. Given that my email on Wikipedia is the same one that I use for my off-Wiki activities, I dont think I might be able to send an email to SAHO website. Greatly appreciate all assistance. Ktin (talk) 23:38, 28 November 2020 (UTC)

Ktin, sure thing and I was just about to leave you a note thanking you for all your work on a difficult subject. The encyclopedia is much better for it.
So one sticky bit is for fair use we need to get this image removed first—can’t make a fair use claim if there’s a legitimately licensed image available. I tried to look for another one just now, including looking at videos because if a video is CC licensed, we could use a screen grab. No luck tho. So the best way to proceed, if you agree, is I’ll nominate this for deletion, because I do believe we don’t have the right permissions, and then we’ll pick another image to upload at low-res just to identify her, which are the fair use criteria. How does that sound/does it all make sense? I know image rights can be confusing. Innisfree987 (talk) 23:58, 28 November 2020 (UTC)
Just as an FYI, you might consider making a dedicated email for your Wikipedia account (it’s free with Gmail or similar providers) because I see you have email enabled on your userpage. If anyone writes you that way, it will go to your personal email and if you reply, it will show the other user your address. So if you have privacy concerns, a dedicated email is a good idea. Innisfree987 (talk) 00:02, 29 November 2020 (UTC)
Innisfree987, Thanks for this one. I understand and makes sense. I am somewhat confused re: next steps on this one. Tagging KittenKlub who had helped with the original image that we had spotted at SAHO.
KittenKlub, for some additional context we were working that article for WP:GA and are brainstorming on what's the best approach for the image.Some more details can be seen here Talk:Priscilla_Jana. Ktin (talk) 01:24, 29 November 2020 (UTC)
Hello, this caught my eye because I am trying to sort out a similar case where a collection is CC-licensed but the photographer appears unknown and therefore cannot have assented to the license. The SAHO themselves say, “Please note that these externally created materials on the site are protected by South African copyright law and may not be reproduced, distributed, transmitted, displayed, or otherwise published in any format, without the prior written permission of the copyright owner. We always try to supply owner details and obtain permission from these owners, but in some cases we have not been able to trace some rights owners.” Jana appears to be such a case as her page indicates no information on the photographer. So I’m afraid for WP purposes we don’t have the necessary permissions for this one. Does that sound right to you KittenKlub? But not all is lost: we could try for a fair use claim on this or another image of Jana instead, since she is deceased. Innisfree987 (talk) 01:40, 29 November 2020 (UTC)
Innisfree987, Thanks much. @KittenKlub: let know of your thoughts. I will definitely defer to you both on this one. Thanks much folks. I think the article is shaping well. Just need the image :) Ktin (talk) 05:38, 29 November 2020 (UTC)
@Innisfree987: Lets get this done. I will remove the current image reference from the article and then you can go ahead with the next steps. Thanks. Ktin (talk) 23:20, 29 November 2020 (UTC)
Ktin, great. I’ll start the deletion process at the Commons and if you want to look around for images of Jana you like—essentially any could be fair use but one from the SA gov would be ideal as it might already be free. Or we could use this one for the same reason. Innisfree987 (talk) 23:34, 29 November 2020 (UTC)
Innisfree987, found two images here and here. Alternately, we can go with the SAH one (the current one) Ktin (talk) 23:41, 29 November 2020 (UTC)
Ktin, so fast! Thanks! There’s also this one, which I think might be free because SABC News is government-owned, but also if you don’t feel good about any, we could go with a different image altogether—it should be ok with “minimal” usage (using it just once on one entry to identify her). What’s your preference? I think the one in yellow may be actually too low-res (sad, it’s a nice pic), but I’m open to all the others! Innisfree987 (talk) 00:06, 30 November 2020 (UTC)
Innisfree987, Thanks so much. My preference, in order, is the DIRCO one (red), followed by SABC (grayscale), followed by the yellow one. Agree on the low res. Feel free to pic any that stands the best chance of acceptance. Thanks. Ktin (talk) 00:17, 30 November 2020 (UTC)
Ktin, the red shouldn’t be a problem! I’ll upload it. Just to make sure you’re aware, any image we do this way can only be used in the entry, not for the DYK, because of restrictions on “fair use”. Innisfree987 (talk) 00:45, 30 November 2020 (UTC)
Innisfree987, makes sense. The point being it can exist on the article, but, can not go as a thumbnail onto the homepage, correct? Ktin (talk) 00:47, 30 November 2020 (UTC)
Ktin, exactly. And, it’s all ready. If you don’t mind, maybe have a look through the explanation I gave (“Media data and Non-free use rationale”) and then you’ll be all set the next time you need an image! Innisfree987 (talk) 01:03, 30 November 2020 (UTC)
Innisfree987, Thanks so much. Had a look. Makes sense. I will go ahead and use it in the article. Let me know if we should pause for some reason. Ktin (talk) 01:34, 30 November 2020 (UTC)
Ktin, all set for my part! As you can tell, copyright is a fairly complex matter so there’s always a small chance someone reviewing the file might disagree with my assessment, but we can cross that bridge if we come to it. For now it’s all good. Thanks! Innisfree987 (talk) 01:37, 30 November 2020 (UTC)
Innisfree987, sounds like a plan. Thanks. Will be good to get all of this completed before the week starts tomorrow. Ktin (talk) 01:38, 30 November 2020 (UTC)
Ktin, just for interest’s sake: a bit of sleuthing rewarded! Here’s the original image and indeed, not CC licensed. Fantastic picture though. Innisfree987 (talk) 04:52, 30 November 2020 (UTC)
Innisfree987, ah! But, definitely a very powerful image! I feel good about the way the article has shaped up. With the week starting tomorrow, I know cycles will be in short supply, but, we should hopefully be able to get this past the line this week. Ktin (talk) 04:56, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

Thanks much, and, I look forward to many more collaborations!Ktin (talk) 00:18, 4 December 2020 (UTC)

Ktin, thank you so much—this gesture means a lot to me! I definitely consider my role secondary to the lion’s share of the work you did but I’m very very happy to have been able to contribute! Indeed, to many future collaborations! Innisfree987 (talk) 01:03, 4 December 2020 (UTC)

Kimberly Ritchie

Thanks for that correction. I searched under her full name, rather than Kim B. Ritchie. Onel5969 TT me 16:46, 22 December 2020 (UTC)

Oh thanks for the note Onel5969, preciate it. And I got lucky on that one myself—only found it while trying to fix a deadlink on the page. Glad we found it eventually! Innisfree987 (talk) 16:56, 22 December 2020 (UTC)
Innisfree987, absolutely. And thanks for removing the copyvio tag, as you were absolutely correct that it was simply the list of publications. Onel5969 TT me 17:03, 22 December 2020 (UTC)

Agitu Ideo Gudeta YouTube photo

Hi Innisfree987, could you help with a screengrab from [1]? The woman in the middle is Agitu Ideo Gudeta. This was the only public domain/creative commons source I could find. TJMSmith (talk) 17:47, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

TJMSmith, with pleasure! I see they just have the two wide angles so it will be a photo of her among others but I think it should definitely add something to the entry until a real photo can be acquired. Will update you when I have something I like (or short of that, ha, something that seems like the best that can be done with the available material!) Innisfree987 (talk) 18:06, 31 December 2020 (UTC)
Awesome, thank you! TJMSmith (talk) 18:08, 31 December 2020 (UTC)
I didn't realize someone else was working on it User_talk:Yoninah#Possible_DYK:_Agitu_Ideo_Gudeta. I had posted on Yoninah's page to work on a DYK for the article. I apologize if I created double work. TJMSmith (talk) 19:00, 31 December 2020 (UTC)
TJMSmith, no problem and actually I apologize, I went straight to the video before catching the part of the entry about her recent death—how awful, I’m sorry the tone of my reply was so light-hearted. Thank you for covering this difficult material. Innisfree987 (talk) 19:17, 31 December 2020 (UTC)
