Stanley Cup image problems

Have the image copyright problems been settled. I've put on GAC, but it's on hold right now over image issues. I don't see any tags on all the images anymore, so can you have look because I'm not sure whether the said image copyright problems still exist or not. Evilclown93 12:10, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

• I believe they may be referring to the Commons deletion discussions at Commons:Commons:Deletion requests/Image:Stanley cup closeup.jpg and Commons:Deletion requests/Image:Stanley cup hhof.jpg. The result there was keep for now. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 12:24, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Cluedo.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Cluedo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 that will be useful. However, please note that images 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 '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 non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 15:06, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Mexico gallery

Mexico gallery must not be deleted. I ask you ask you as a favor to let Mexico gallery stay because it shows the beauty of Mexico. Mexico is a country that has been discriminated by being rancheros with a burrito and its hat in the desert. But thats not true. It is a country with beauty that can be showed on the pictures. Let gallery stay and show readers the beauty of Mexico, please do not delete the gallery. Let it stay, it doesnt affect no one but it helps mexico to show people how beautiful is that country and that its not how people steorotyped. ((subst:unsigned|Chokolate}}

All galleries should be placed on the Wikimedia Commons website, a sister site of Wikipedia. Thanks. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 00:29, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Many apologies

I just want to take a moment and apologize for my edits regarding The Secret of NIMH. I was operating off of a memory that the subject matter was British. If I had taken even a moment to read the pages on the film or the book I would have found out how wrong I was. I wish I could blame it on early onset alzheimers but, in fact, it was darn laziness - dag nab it - so, again, many apologies for wasting your time here at wikiP. MarnetteD | Talk 20:20, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Apology accepted. Thanks for the explanation. Happy editing. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 23:54, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for the FYI and fixing that on the page. I had noticed another user or two were doing similar things, so I assumed it was okay. I guess we all know what happens we we assume though. Thanks again! Chanceinator 18:07, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Your comment at NFC

Unclear what you meant by "strengthened out". Is the most recent version of Criterion 8 strong enough, too strong, or not strong enough? (It looks pretty strong, almost too strong to me, but I don't implement the policy, so I don't experience the problems and thus can't comment on that issue.) Tony 10:46, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

It's a big fat typo, a meant straightened out. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 14:14, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Deletion debates of a few supercouples within the scope of Wikipedia: Wiki Project Soap Operas

A few articles within the scope of Wikipedia: WikiProject Soap Operas have been nominated for deletion. But this is before we've gotten around to truly improving these particular articles. At this rate, if these articles are more so targeted because they are soap opera couple articles, I find it very off, given that these articles are a work in progress. I was hoping that you could lend your voice on this matter in their deletion debates, as I will contact all participants of Wikipedia: WikiProject Soap Operas to weigh in on this matter as well. I do not believe that getting rid of these or any supercouple articles on Wikipedia is the answer, improving them is.

So far, I know of three true supercoupe articles nominated for deletion:

• Alan Quartermaine and Monica Bard

• Victor Newman and Nikki Reed.

• Nicholas Newman and Sharon Collins. Flyer22 14:02, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Image:Tesseract.gif

This FP is no longer used in the tesseract article. There are several "improved" versions by the same author that are now used in that article instead. Perhaps User:JasonHise should be contacted about nominating one of the improved versions to replace this FP, before we feature this on the MainPage. Thanks.--Pharos 20:21, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Days

Elonka and I are trying to work at making Days of our Lives an eventual good or featured article. Would you like to help us? Before you say "no, I don't watch that show!", Elonka doesn't either and we're still working as a team on it. We recently re-wrote the lead and cited it up and down, and rewrote other parts of the article. If you have suggestions or comments, please tell me. Mike H.

Deletion or transfer

Maybe it's something even out of your reach, but can you either delete or transfer logs of mine of non-sports related edits ( see [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], and many more edits from April 2-3. If you possibly could transfer to my non sports account or delete them, it's no skin off my nose. Hope to hear from you soon! Soxrock 23:53 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, but as far as I know, there is no feature currently in the Mediawiki software that allows a transfer of individual edits from one account to another. There use to be a page called Wikipedia:Changing attribution for an edit where Wikipedia's developers would take requests to alter the MySql database directly, but is now not maintained anymore due to their busy schedules. And as for deleting specific edits, under the GNU Free Documentation License, we cannot since those modifications are really legitimate. Thanks. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 00:41, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Ok, since I want to keep trying at least, are there any higher ranking people than you here (obviously Jimbo Wales, but anyone else)? Soxrock 0:49, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Looking at the user access levels of MediaWiki, one possibility that is similar to what you want is contacting a user who has access to the oversight permission feature, but you probably do not qualify under those scenarios. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 00:59, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Ok, I've alerted Blnguyen [12] and hopefully something can be done. I don't regret those edits, but the name their under is the wrong one, and they're more accurate under that name I put up earlier. Soxrock 1:38, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Web accessibility/colorblindness concerns???

I've noticed in articles related to BART where I color-coded names of each line that it got reverted each time. And your reason was over concerns of colorblind Wikipedia viewers who may not be able to view it, if the assumption is accurate and whatever reason it is. This was in no way intended to vandalize the articles, but to better describe a rail line with a distinguishing color from the rest of them with their own. If you really feel this way, you might as well eliminate color-text from other articles related to rail transit such as New York City Subway, DART, LACMTA or Washington Metro. GETONERD84 21:18, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

In the meantime, it is probably a good idea to revisit Wikipedia:Templates for deletion/Log/Deleted/November 2005#Various formatting templates again.

BL Portal

Why did you remove the DVD images from the Boston Legal Portal and not from the actual article where they are still located? mattytay 11:21, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

The DVD images are currently tagged as non-free, fair use images, right? Rule #9 of Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria is pretty clear: "Non-free content is used only in the article namespace". As for your second question, there has been much debate on the interpretation of Rule #8, including the use of covers in lists such as here, and I am still waiting for a definite cut-and-dry ruling. Also, your comment reminds me of WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 16:07, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Rule 9 is pretty clear... it says not to use non-free (fair use) images on templates and talk pages. I am putting it back up because the page it was on is an article viewed within a Portal - Rule 9 says nothing about Portals, only articles (...and against templates and userpages)! mattytay 03:33, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Perhaps you should study Wikipedia talk:Fair use/Amendment/Fair use images in portals, Wikipedia talk:Fair use/Amendment/Fair use images in portals2, and the other links compiled on User:Durin/Fair use miscellany#Fair use on portals.

You are also making the common fallacy of completely disregarding the first sentence: Non-free content is used only in the article namespace – arguments that "portal" isn't specifically mentioned in the rule. It is something that reminds me of a comment made on Wikipedia talk:Fair use/Archive 17#Fair use on Portals. It is far more concise than saying "not on: Media, Special, Talk, User, User talk, Wikipedia, Wikipedia talk, Image, Image talk, MediaWiki, MediaWiki talk, Template, Template talk, Help, Help talk, Category, Category talk, Portal or Portal talk".

Deletion

Please delete the template at this link because it's 13-4 delete and the 7-day period has expired. Thanks. Soxrock

Fair use rationale for Image:NYJets1978.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:NYJets1978.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages 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 fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — Moe ε 22:07, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

San Diego Chargers

Zzyzx11 could you please give some guidence on the Charger page as it seems that your help is in great need.I have left some notes on my edits and on the talk page if Pats1 http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/User_talk:Pats1 , it seems that I am unable to reason with him please help. He just wiped out about 6 hours work.

Thanks RMANCIL 22:06, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Sorry for a delayed response, but I have had limited internet access this past week. Probably your best strategy is get this article to featured article status like Chicago Bears and New England Patriots. That means you should read Wikipedia:Featured article criteria, and all of the relevant guidelines. Especially you should study Wikipedia:Summary style because I get a sense that User:Pats1 wants to put detailed Chargers information on more detailed pages instead of the main one. You may also want to look at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Chicago Bears/archive4 and Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/New England Patriots to get a sense of how those articles were promoted to feature status. And you should look at all of the articles listed in Category:Chicago Bears and Category:New England Patriots to get a sense of what should put on the more detailed articles. Hope that helps.

1. The CSD I8 criteria were not met.
2. Please explain how this redirect "restrict[ed] access to the attribution information." Thanks! —David Levy 05:20, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

What's especially puzzling is that you replaced the redirect with an imagemap, which does make it far more difficult to reach the description page (because clicking on the image no longer leads to a page containing a link to it). A separate link to the description page appears alongside the image by default, but you suppressed it. —David Levy 05:32, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Then I guess there is no "right" solution is there... Zzyzx11 (Talk) 05:34, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

I can remove "desc none" and the link to the actual image is there. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 05:36, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Yes, that's what I was referring to when I said that you suppressed the link to the description page. This icon, however, is ugly and unfamiliar (so most people won't know to click on it). What, exactly, was the problem with the previous setup (which enabled someone who clicked on the image expecting to find the description page to simply follow one additional familiar link)? —David Levy 05:43, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

U.S.A, March 1867

Sorry, I am trying to find from my archives, etc. who told me that putting a redirect on an image description page is not proper because someone else might use the image by itself on another page, in another conext like this. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 05:51, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

I would agree if we were discussing a redirect to a page with only peripheral significance to the image. In this case, the redirect led to a page that prominently featured the original source image from which the static frame was extracted. —David Levy 06:03, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

More events...

If you were to ask me, I would say that "More events on this day..." link is unnecessary because there's a link to the date at the top of the section. -- tariqabjotu 18:41, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

As I posted on Wikipedia talk:Selected anniversaries#Adding a "More events" link, based on various comments on Talk:Main page and WP:ERRORS throughout the past year, I get a sense that a number of newbies do not realise that these templates list selected anniversaries because they only see the "On this day" label on the main page, and it is not obvious that we also keep a list of many other events on the date pages. Therefore, I will be testing a "More events" link at the bottom of this week's templates, linking to the specified date page. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 18:43, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Also the link to the date at the top of the section does not explicitly say to newbies that there are in fact more events listed on that page. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 18:45, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Image:CalifCentralCoast.jpg‎

Thanks for moving my image to Commons. I just love that spot and the image turned out surprisingly well considering it was just a vacation snapshot from the roadside. Our new camera does quite well! I should have uploaded it to Commons to begin with, but back then I didn't know much about uploading images. Since then I have uploaded a number of images in connection with my writing of the article Reindeer hunting in Greenland. If you have any advice regarding my uploading of images, I would love to hear it. Always interested in learning more....;-) -- Fyslee/talk 22:34, 14 July 2007 (UTC)‎

Apparently you already previously uploaded a version of this image directly on Commons back on April 30.[13] Because of that, I felt it was appropriate to remove the version on Commons I copied from here on Wikipedia, and revert back to the April 30 version.

Hi. It's great that you correct the edits and include factual information for California State Route 133, but if you edit the table, it would be appreciated if you please leave it in the proper format so I don't have to fix it every so often. Thanks!

Artisol2345 23:33, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

So I take it you have never read Wikipedia:Manual of Style (exit lists) and Wikipedia:WikiProject California State Highways#Junction table? And all of the examples cited there? These are the standard guidelines that I am following. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 01:16, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

I'm not talking about the article's content; I'm just referring to the format of the table on the exit list. There was an extra row on the table that was empty. Artisol2345 17:35, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

NFL project

It seems you've noticed the same level of rancor regarding this project as I have. Sad to see you scale back your involvement but believe me, I totally understand. --cholmes75 ^{(chit chat)} 14:58, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

commons:User:Zzyzx11/En main page

Thanks, this is a great idea. I think the Kate Bush photo might have to have its license modified, though (I can't edit it now as I'm not a Commons admin). Please see User talk:Epbr123#Kate Bush photo. Thanks.--Pharos 17:37, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Done. As for commons:User:Zzyzx11/En main page, we will see how it goes. The only thing I can guarantee is protecting POTDs, since they rarely ever change once scheduled. If someone changes a FA or OTD/SA pic during the day, they are going to have to protect manually. Thanks. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 18:21, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

El Cerrito

Ahhh how frustrating =(, but! (check out my mad one word sentance skills yo!) There allready is an El Cerrito disambiguation page, and El Cerrito, California would be the proper title for the city proper, as the other El Cerrito is a CDP and the other other one is simply a neighborhood. If it's been so since 2002 its been so incorrectly and superfalously since there is allready an El Cerrito disambiguation page. Having said that, I was unaware of the cut and paste problem and the existing policy. I'll see if I can't put up such a request, If i have trouble would you help me? =) Cholga^talK! 16:17, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

With further inspection, i found yet a third! disambiguation page Cerrito. I think that title might be the best of all.Cholga^talK! 16:30, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Microsoft logo.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:Microsoft logo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 that will be useful. However, please note that images 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 '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 non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 06:33, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

For goodness sakes I have no idea what you're talking about. I think the person your looking for is Cholga (talk · contribs). If you check my edits for the last couple hours you will see that I have been cleaning up the articles.--Jay(Talk) 04:20, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Template:In the news

You self-reverted removing the I-35W bridge collapse, saying that you were going to balance some other way. However, you haven't yet done so. If you aren't going to rebalance at all, would you mind if I removed the collapse? If you have any questions, please contact me at my talk page. Ian Manka 05:31, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Sounds good. Sorry about the confusion. If you have any questions, please contact me at my talk page. Ian Manka 05:38, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

city names

I think there is a promlem with consistancy with these cities' names.

El Cerrito, Contra Costa County, California and El Cerrito, Riverside County, California both the city and the CDP have the county in their names whereas in the case of the Mountain Views their names are Mountain View, California for the city and Mountain View, Contra Costa County, California for the CDP. I was just trying to mitigate that. I think El Cerrito, Contra Costa County, California should drop the Contra Costa County portion or Moutain View, California should be moved to Mountain View, Santa Clara County, California, for consistancy. I would prefer the former because I think incorporated cities have more prestige in this regard but I would understand if the latter is a better option of more clarity between places with identical names.Cholga^talK! 09:11, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

An important letter

Dear roads editor,

You may have noticed some changes at WP:USRD lately. Some of them, like the cleanup templates and the stub templates, have been astounding and great. Unfortunately, others have been disturbing.

This has become evidenced by the departure of a few prominent editors at USRD, a few RFC's, and much fighting among USRD editors.

After the second RFC, many of us found the opportunity to take a step away from Wikipedia for a while--as a self-imposed wikibreak, or possibly on vacation.

The result of such introspection was that many of us were placing ourselves in a "walled garden" and on a self-imposed pedestal of authority over the roads department. Also, we were being hostile to a few users who were not agreeing with us.

In fact, IRC has been the main incarnation of this "walled garden." Decisions have been made there to conduct grudges and prejudices against a few valued USRD users with poor justification.

For this, we have come to apologize. We have come to ask your forgiveness.

In addition to this, we hope to work as one USRD team from now on and to encourage cooperation instead of the promotion of interests.

All users are welcome to collaborate on IRC, the newsletter, or anywhere else at USRD.

In the future, please feel free to approach us about any issues you may have.

Regards,

I'm new to editing Wikipedia but I understand your point about respecting copyrights. However, does using a couple of sentences from an advertising brochure, when that brochure is clearly attributed as the source, constitute a copyright infringement? Armona 02:54, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
