May I use this? User:Nadia Kittel I posted the source and qualified the fair use tags. A quick google search will show that nearly all of the available images of Fuentes anywhere are from one shoot he did in front of a painting of Hem. So this is about as free as it gets, plus the image isn't that big. Cheers. --DanielNuyu 09:37, 21 January 2006 (UTC) I have no idea where I got this picture from, so feel free to trash it. Cheers, Peter1968 17:26, 21 January 2006 (UTC) image tagsThanks for bringing the issue of the tag for the takahe image to my attention. I was boneheaded in not making it clear I released it with a GDFL tag. I have now. Sorry for the inconvinience. Sabine's Sunbird 19:37, 21 January 2006 (UTC) SPEEDY DELETIONHi Stan: All the pictures that you discovered in Samuel Cashwan were taken by me. However, I am not the swiftest fellow around computers and will try and figure out how to add a proper copyright tag. {{GFDL}}, i think, is what i use. I have a fair number of pictures around wikipedia and almost all are ones that I've taken, so if you find any others, send 'em on over. Carptrash 05:03, 22 January 2006 (UTC) Regarding the Helen Bonchek Schneyer image, I would recommend deleting it since I cannot find the original image and thus am unable to give it a correct copyright tag. I must apologize for the image and say that at the time I uploaded it I had had little experience with Wikipedia's copyright procedure and since uploading it, I had completely forgotten about it. Best Regards, Deyyaz [ Talk | Contribs ] 15:45, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
Hi Stan. I noticed you put a no-license-tag on that image on my "Watch List". I would have preferred to having been notified about that by you, but it doesn't matter. I just wanted to point out that that picture was made by myself in November 2004 during a trip to Tallinn. What do I have to do to get rid of the tag? Thanks, and greetings. Luis rib 16:10, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
Ascension IslandPostage history is rather detailed for the main page for Ascension Island, so I originally moved a cut down version to the Economy section as appropiate. I am sorry you think I have cut out too much, so I have moved your history section to Postage stamps of Ascension Island, which can focus more directly on the topic. Hopefully this will allow a more comprehensive section on postage to be built up, and a linked summary in the main article. I would not consider my actions to be vandalism. All my actions are efforts to improve the page, and I welcome your feedback. Astrotrain 21:49, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
Sand Tiger SharkThanks for informing me, I listed it at IFD. Its not even being used now anyway, I originally uploaded it for the Tiger Shark page, after actually looking at the image, turns out it was a Sand Tiger...Lol..Anyway thanks for telling me about it.

Re: Image copyrightI've tagged Image: Tak Tin Bus Terminus.jpg with GFDL-self. Thanks for the reminder. Deryck C. 09:39, 24 January 2006 (UTC) Image ProblemsI received a message from you about an image I copied from the Goiânia article in Wikipedia Portuguese and put in the Goiânia site in English. I presume the image is ok if it is on the other site and no one has questioned it. Wouldn´t you have to get rid of the Portuguese image first? If you think the image is a problem then I will gladly remove it. Vogensen 17:22, 24 January 2006 (UTC) ThanksThanks, Stan for reminding me to put tag on the Image.

I appreciate your efforts on applying the policy re images. However, i don't fancy the template of reminding me on my talk page of the removal everytime you remove an image. I'd appreciate if you remove them w/o informing me as i'd understand that they were removed for an obvious reason. Cheers -- Szvest 16:23, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
Hear, hear. Stan, your image removal boilerplate message may have been written with the best intentions, but as Szvest pointed out above, it is unnecessary. Moreover, it strikes a condescending tone, which—even if unintentional—does little to foster compliance on the part of those who receive your message. —Ryanaxp 12:49, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
ImagesMany of the images that I have uploaded are from the government website managed by National Informatics Centre. [1]. I was under the impression that the tag {{PD-IndiaGov}} was the tag applicable for the images uploaded from the websites managed by Government of India. However as per the update I have got from User:Carnildo this tag is not appropriate and the Government of India holds copyright till 60 years. So I am still trying to find a solution for this... This seems to be a issue of mis-communication where in I thought that the tag "PD-IndiaGov" was applicable for the images from Government of India... Please advise. --Aravind Parvatikar 12:44, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
Images for deletionI don't know if you are the one who are tagging images (Image:TelemarkNotoddenInfo_g.jpg) for speddy deletion for OrpanBot but trying to communicating with a student out of town, with a time limit (User:Woelne), isn't very wise. No matter how "correct" it may seem. The image is from his home town, a village in Norway. I find it unlikely that anyone else but him has taken the photo. — John Erling Blad (no) 08:26, 27 January 2006 (UTC) Image:Arabian Sea touching the coast, Kerala .jpgThanks for drawing my attention to the copyright issues.

Image Tagging Image:Portrait bhumibol sirikit.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Portrait bhumibol sirikit.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page. If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL-self}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then 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 media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Stan 17:45, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
Did you say what I think you said?In regard to your statement, "He added a link to the fair use project, you removed it.". To me this appears to be an appalling misrepresentation of events. Your simplification is unsupported by the facts, and I can't even fathom why you'd make it, excluding some bizarre mistake. I'd like you to retract it. --Gmaxwell Untagged ImagesHello Stan Shebs, yaa.. i should notify the uploaders about tagged messages that it has been tagged with no source information.

Himachel Pradesh MapDear Stan: Thanks for contacting me - I don't know how this has all come about. I must have done this when I first started using the Wikipedia and didn't know much about creating articles, uploading images, copyright, etc. I can't remember even posting the map and, if I did, where it came from. Put it down to "Oldtimers' disease." Sorry if I have caused any hassle - it was certainly not intentional. Unless an attribution for the map can be found I agree that it should be removed.

Shyam (T/C) 16:44, 17 March 2006 (UTC) For an image like Image:MS FENNICA MS NORDICA.jpg, we really need more than a URL to demonstrate sourcing. Otherwise every gallery of copyvios on the net can be claimed to be a "source". The website needs to make some kind of affirmative statement that "this is our picture, not somebody else's that we are borrowing/got permission for/copyvio'ing because we can". Stan 19:30, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
Either one of may be correct in this case. However, I think we both agree that it is highly unlikely the web site in question did not just nick this image from somewhere else. I think that as long as we are acting in good faith, the fair use of this image is likely to be approved. Going through WP:FUC, I don't see how this does not qualify for use in the MS Fennica article. howcheng {chat} 20:09, 17 March 2006 (UTC) miscDoes the word 'chill' mean anything to you?

Shoefly 23:09, 19 March 2006 (UTC) You replied: "{{cc-by}} is the most restrictive available I think, but in any case you would have to send another message to the photographer, so you might as well send him links to our articles on each license, let him choose from them.

Image:P1010024.JPGI have ameded the license to GNU Free. Many thanks, Griffin147 Cruithne semi-major axis imageStan - thanks for the message on my discussion page, to which I've written a response. I'm going on vacation at the weekend, and I'll finalise the big decision as to how many of my remaining contributions to un-edit when I return. The one thing I'm going to do before I leave is point out that on Comet_Halley, I added a date of 27 March for the comet's perihelion of 2134, and that date is all my own work and was published on http://www.chris.obyrne.com/celestia/ before I put it on Wikipedia, and hence (I think) violates my own copyright! I also added the other dates for the comets perihelion - however, I got (confirmation of) those dates from other sources on the web (I did not find any source for the 2134 perihelion). I'm not going to protect the other hand-drawn image I have on Wikipedia - hopefully it will be deleted before I return from my vacation.

Wikispecies logoPlease review very carefully the discussions for the logo contest for the Wikispecies logo. I CREATED THE ORIGINAL CONCEPT FOR THE LOGO. The concept of DNA strands sprouting from a wiki ball, the colors, the proportions - all mine. And I gave the concept to the Wiki foundation as directed in the contest. Another desinger polished the image in an editing program and added shadows, etc. By your notice on my talk page, I have to assume you object to my display of this conceptual sketch? Please remove this copyright deletion notice. It is VERY important to me that my role in the creation of this image not be lost through edits like this. jk Dear Stan, I've re-itroduced the GFDL tag on this image because it turns out that it IS being licensed by the Senate of Poland under GFDL (After seeing your comment, I had doubted this as well). It is explained at pl:Dyskusja_Wikipedii:Opisy_licencji_grafiki (unfortunately in Polish), and I also got an email from the senate webmaster confirming this. This applies to all photos of Senators on the polish senate pages www.senat.gov.pl, but not the web page design (duh). A similar situation applies to the Polish Sejm (Lower house) pages, and the Polish President's pages. Deuar 17:51, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

I may be missing the point of wiki but I found the content of value as the virtual tour sets the user in the scene much better than a still image could. Cheers,
Well I don't agree with the "yawn" of a virtual tour I think the difference between the web and print is that you "can" show virtual tours and other media that might be of interest to users, a still image will only show so much. I'll stick to writing copy and posting still images as to not go outside the rigid guidelines imposed.

You wrote that my "plasmoid" graphic was been deleted, or will be, because of copyright questions. I do not upload graphics which are copyrighted elsewhere. Thiss one is from my own article (as noted), published in "Reviews of Geophysics" while I worked for NASA. Because of my affiliation at the time, it's in the pblic domain.

I just tried to provide some professional material). (P.S.: I once heard one the series of which you displayed a stamp supposedly showed Columbus scanning the horizon through a spyglass. Trouble was, the telescope had not yet been invented at that time. Does such a stamp exist?) DYK

I dont know how else to explain "the source". The brochure gave no other information. I dont think it is even protected, even under Iranian copyright laws.--Zereshk 23:53, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Wait a second...You will block me from further editing because of that image? I even forgot that I uploaded that image. I suppose that you have in mind this edit:
I would appreciate that you hear my explanation for that edit before you say that you will block me from further editing. The date of that edit is 5 October 2005 and in that time I did not know much about these copyright tags. I uploaded that image and user:Superm401 taged it with "no source". I saw that and I did not know how to provide source, so I went to IRC chat and asked editors from Serbian Wikipedia how to provide source, and they said that I only should to put "fair use" tag on the image and that would be enough, so I done it. Later, I learned that "providing the source" is something different than to tag image with "fair use", so I do not repeat that mistake any more. It is not nice that you threat that you will block me because of that one mistake (which was not done with bad intentions, but because I was STUPID). So, I have no idea what is a source for that image, but I apologize for taging it with "fair use" and I certainly will not do that again. I think that blocking policy exist to prevent users to have wrong edits in the FUTURE, not because of one mistake that they done in the PAST. PANONIAN (talk) 13:24, 26 April 2006 (UTC) I do not know a source for that map, so you will have to delete it. I have a collection of about 8,000 maps in my computer and most of these maps (including that one) I found somewhere on the Internet, but I do not remember where I found it. I do not upload maps for which I do not know source any more. Several months ago I was uploading such maps, but since they have problem with copyright, I started to upload only maps which were drawn by me. I will not upload maps with no source any more and if you find couple more maps with no source information which I uploaded several months ago and taged them with "fair use", you can delete them. I thought in that time that "fair use" is a proper tag for them, and by the way, Wikipedia image policy was not so harsh in that time. PANONIAN (talk) 01:37, 27 April 2006 (UTC) Re: Images wrongly marked as unsourcedI have talked with others, and it is standard to include a source (aka, who took them and/or from where the image has been picked, not just a slight description of the show). Only promotional images do not need a source, as they have been released by companies themselves. My idea is to replace every image that has been tagged with a valid licensed and sourced image, with a fair use rationale, which I cannot right now add as I have not uploaded the image. -- ReyBrujo 12:29, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
Category :Ray Finned FishI see your point. To be fair one of the original reasons for me to create the page has reduced considerably. One of the problems with the page originally was that half of the subcategories had scientific names and the other half used common names, result total chaos. Someone has got rid of most of the common names lately and replaced them with scientific names - I would do the rest myself but us mere mortals dont seem to have the power to rename categories. If that occured it would be reasonable to add the links to common fish species for each family to the ray finned fish article and delete it from the category. How do you rename categories? PS this is a much more constructive way to effect change than wholesale unilateral deletion (this also posted on cat:ray finned fish discussion page) Kerripaul 19:13, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
Passenger ShipsStan: Thank you for your helpful comments. I'm new to this game and I am still learning its conventions. I will either return the section in passenger ships to the main article, or make a new one. But first I have to figure out how to add cites to sources, as right now the discussion gives no cites, and also to some extent is based on computations. ~ Images with obvious sourceTo the contrary, screenshots should cite the person who took it, or if the uploader didn't take it, where they found it on the internet. --Rory096 18:50, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
The photo was taken by me. I made this clear in the article, I am quite certain. Apparently the image was already removed though. opinions solicited on programming languageI would welcome your input on improving programming language. Ideogram 00:20, 5 June 2006 (UTC) Some vandallism assistance neededLast week I was on RC patrol and noted the removal of deletion tag from pages started by User:Adrak so I wanted to tell him that he was vandalising those pages and might be blocked for such removals. On visiting his talk page a second time, I saw he had removed my previous warning left there thereby giving the distinct impression of a clean and unblemished track record. Unfortunately there is no record of his contributions pages because they have been deleted. My first warning on his page was like this but I am sure you will check his history for yourself. Now he is annoyed with me and despite a reasonably polite reply to his comment on my talk page, he has left a vandalism warning on my talk page today which is absolutely unjustified. IMHO, this is itself blatant revenge vandalism and should not be tolerated. Obviously his comment re rules for vandalism are not mine but Wikipedia's. What's your opinion and what do you suggest? I am not into a tit for tat thing but he does not seem to what is vandalism and what is not. Cheers 13:56, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
Image:Christmas seal US 1925.jpg listed for deletion An image or media file that you uploaded, Image:Christmas seal US 1925.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion.

HiYou may be interested in to see these: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Albert_Ekka&diff=prev&oldid=62715215 My rollback should be seen in the light of my clarifications. In India, we have a liberal law relating to such issues. Regards. --Bhadani 12:33, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
Philately stubsI added this to Prathheeps page following your earlier message: re: Philately stubs Did you know we already have a {{philately-stub}} ? For future reference, the choice of a Hitler head for {{phil-stub}} is really not a good idea. Stan 12:33, 6 April 2006 (UTC) I entirely agree with Stan and I am recommending this stub for deletion. We should all be using {{philately-stub}}. There are only three or four links to it in any case and I've moved those to the standard stub. --Jack 05:28, 12 July 2006 (UTC) British post offices in AfricaI like it.

We have a red link to it in Philately, and Google keeps feeding me sites that copy from that article, or people that want to sell the Herman Herst book. Any ideas? Eclecticology 07:36, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
Could you please have a look at this article. The article purports to recharactrize what was previously called "bogus stamps" as "illegal stamps". It makes reference to the work of the Worldwide Association for Development of Philately (WADP), an association which it claims to be affiliated with the UPU. The entire tone of the article seems highly POV, and I have already removed a section which claimed that certain individuals were involved in the distribution of illegal stamps without showing any evidence that they were ever convicted. I didn't want to go any further with this article without a second opinion. Eclecticology 07:21, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
Christmas IslandHello Stan. Don't know what's happened to this. It was in the Christmas Island article but someone apparently removed it because of a "fair use" doubt. The one I have in my own "gallery" (which has only three entries!) has a different name. I was experimenting at the time so perhaps it's as well to let it go. I'll get back to scanning (and stamps) in due course. Regards. --BlackJack | talk page 09:03, 9 September 2006 (UTC) stamp photohello.

About your comments in Ushuaia, Tierra del FuegoIf you count Pt. Williams as a city, because it is populated the whole year etc, etc, etc, the Esperanza Base, which has permanent population, a school, a chapel, and a radio station has to be the southernmost.

(Although Xconq development itself appears to have died off.) Thanks, Marasmusine 11:10, 23 September 2006 (UTC) Letter sheetHi Stan. I've been working on the article Letter sheet and have a temp page here. Perhaps you could look it over, though it is still a work in progress and not yet close to publishing. I will be adding more as I refer to my source books here. Any comments appreciated. ww2censor 16:26, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
Also, I have been working on some stamp articles and using the infobox but saw that there are some articles on the French and German wikipedia that might be translated but, how do I get to use the images (not commons images) that are uploaded to the foreign wikis on the English wiki, or do I just have to copy and re-upload using the same license as appropriate. Cheers ww2censor 15:08, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
Plant ArticlesI loved a comment of yours I found on some plant talk or archive or somewhere:
Did you ever get an answer? I've posted a couple of times trying to get some suggestions along these lines but have been ignored. I also want the introductory sentences to say that the Amborellaceae are a family of flowering plants found only on New Caledonia, include their larger group and one important comment--it's a general encyclopedia. Then go on to say Amborellaceae is the scientific name and its common name is Cool Basal Angiosperm of Undistinguished Appearance (CBAUA). Or whatever. Nice try.

Renaming a WikiProjectDo you know if it is possible to rename a WikiProject? The Grand Prix motorcycle racing project exists but I think it is too restrictive in scope and have commented to that effect on the Grand Prix racing talk page. Currently there is no motorcycling WikiProject that, if established, could encompass the Grand Prix project and other aspects of the topic in a broader way hopefully attracting more editors than now (only 5 members). At the moment there is a proposal to start a motorcycle project and a temporary discussion page here. I would appreciate your advise as an admin. Thanks Stan ww2censor 18:42, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

I now directly upload small pictures to articles on Wikipedia--I hate these 50K images, but can't deal with Wikimedia, and have many pictures that are lacking in articles. The other language Wikipedia users can at least find them in here. It surprised me that there is one page for Wikimedia Flora of California implying there are only images of some 40 or so species of CA plants, when a search by the knowledgable (know the flora, not Wikimedia), turns up hundreds uncategorized--but only the brave or stupid would go there and categorize a second time, maybe the computer savvy, not the nature photographer. Why don't you go shoot one of the Bay Area Amborellas for me, just a leaf, that's all I ask? KP Botany 00:30, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
