ذاكرة مصر المعاصرة

أهلا بك. أنا لا أعلم كيف يتم استخراج اليو آر إل الخاص بالصور عندما تستخدم انترنت اكسبلورار. ولكن عندما تستخدم فايرفوكس، يمكنك الضغط على الصورة ووضعها في شريط الأدوات (تولبار). اليو آر إل الخاص بالصورة سوف يظهر في شريط الأدوات. قم فقط بتغيير كلمة "سمول" إلى كلمة "لارج" في اليو آر إل لكي تحصل على صورة عالية الجودة. أرجو أيضا لفت انتباهك أنه لا يمكن رفع جميع الصور التي على موقع ذاكرة مصر المعاصرة. أنا لا أعلم ما هي سياسة ويكيبيديا العربية الخاصة بالصور، ولكن إن كنت تريد رفع صورة على ويكيميديا كومونز، فيجب أن تتأكد أنها تعتبر ملكية عامة في كل من مصر والولايات المتحدة. يمكنك الرجوع إلى هذه الصفحة للمزيد من التفاصيل --BomBom (talk) 22:01, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect photo caption

File:Attackingconvay.jpg

Hi Mo7amedsalim, I understand you uploaded this photo to the Arab wiki, from where it was migrated to Commons. The details provided, however, are wrong. It was not taken during the 1973 war, but on June 9, 1967, in the northern Sinai. You can see it on the BBC site here, it also appears in Nicolle/Cooper Arab MiG-21s book, and it even appears on the Israeli Air Force website here. All attribute it to the 1967 war. Furthermore, it was taken by an Israeli photographer traveling with the convoy. This means the licensing is also wrong, as the copyright don't belong to the Egyptian government and therefore are not in the Egyptian public domain.

Hi Mo7amedsalim, I really don't know much about copyrights, but do I think there might be an issue with a photo protected by Israeli copyright laws being freely available on Commons. Even if no one in Egypt holds the rights to the photo, I don't think it can be distributed freely over the internet. I wouldn't be surprised if someone removed it. Anyway, thanks for changing the caption. Poliocretes (talk) 13:01, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Late Reply

Hey Muhammed!

I'm very sorry, but I only just read your question on my talk page. I don't know how in the world I didn't see it. I usually reply to posts on my talk page quickly. I'm sorry I took so long.

To answer your question, I'm not sure if the story added to the Egyptian Air Force article on the Arab Wiki is true. However the article on that war (Libyan–Egyptian War), which coincidentally I also wrote, contains as much information as I found on that border conflict. It's taken from a western book as you can see, and that book doesn't mention any Sukhoi losses on our side, only MiG-21s. Hope that helps you.

I was wondering. You seem knowledgeable on copyright laws. What are the copyright conditions for Egyptian photographs of the October War? I desperately need to add images of that war to the Wikipedia. Thanks alot. --Sherif9282 (talk) 01:55, 2 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your reply!

I don't understand though; shouldn't a 1973 pic be free since it was published more than 15 years ago? The author is unknown. --Sherif9282 (talk) 11:59, 14 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Contests

User:Dr. Blofeld has created Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/Contests. The idea is to run a series of contests/editathons focusing on each region of Africa. He has spoken to Wikimedia about it and $1000-1500 is possible for prize money. As someone who has previously expressed interest in African topics, would you be interested in contributing to one or assisting draw up core article/missing article lists? He says he's thinking of North Africa for an inaugural one in October. If interested please sign up in the participants section of the Contest page, thanks.♦ --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 01:33, 21 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
