Billbeee

An explanation, please read this before winging about my images

My Name is Bill Bradley, my user name here is billbeee, my user page clearly states that I have a website http://www.builderbill-diy-help.com. I also get called builderbill because of my website.All the photos and drawing on that website, about 1600 of them at last count ARE ALL MY OWN WORK. That is apart from about twenty from Wikipedia and Morguefile which all have attributions on them to the website and the image author.

I have copyright notices on the website and this has caused confusion here. They are there to deter out and out thieves from copying whole sections of my site and passing it off as their own work. Believe me this does happen! Anyone at all has only to contact me at my site for permission to use my material and I have not yet refused anyone. I have cad drawings in text books and photos in trade magazines, all freely given with no charge.

Any photos drawings and sketches that I have uploaded to Wikipedia from my site and elsewhere ARE ALL MY OWN WORK.

I made a mistake with the watermark issue. I was not aware of that rule. SORRY, I have been a naughty boy. I consider my wrist well and truly slapped.

Anyone at all has my permission to either delete them or alter them to remove the watermarks. Just leave my name as creator if they still exist.

I have some of my artworks on Wikipedia also, pen and ink sketches, watercolours etc. On some of those I may also have had the temerity to sign them in the continuance of a tradition that that been around for centuries. Go to those if you like and delete them also if you feel that putting a Signiture or name on an image is such a terrible thing. Signed.

Hi Bill, I really liked the sketch you did of the bricklayer's level. I have never seen that tool on a job site. It looks like an original jig. Also I liked the photo of the stanley square. It looks like it has been used on many jobs. --Johnalden^Talk 02:29, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

work in progress

Hi Bill. I've moved your page to User:Billbeee/Flooring cramp while you're working on it; we prefer to have at least a stub's worth of content before a page is put into the regular namespace. It's fine in your userspace for now though, and you can move it back when it's ready. ··coelacan 06:35, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi Billbee!

I'm glad that you like what I've done with the roof article. The problem was that although it contained a great deal of valuable info, it was rated "Start class" as an article because it didn't meet wiki standards... What i did mainly was write introductions to things and tidy up info that was already contained.

We still gotta problem here! The problem is, they want info, but they want it from books. It means that everytime an expert writes about his/her own field, someone gets stuffy about it and calls it "original research". A lot of tradespeople and craftspeople with a huge amount to contribute wouldn't know where to find an article to back up a statement like slate roofs require copper nails! It's common sense, mate! so the result is, there's only one reference at the end of the article! Do you have any trade manuals that you could trot out and write in a list in the reference section?

I'm an architectural historian, and my practical experience has been to do with restoration. If you want to write an article about roof framing, I'll put it into the sort of language that they like. I think that the present article needs some info about roof framing but the description of the bolts and bracket could go elsewhere.

From my POV, I'd like an article (maybe it already exists) that show diagrams of all the different traditional systems. King post, trussed, cross braced, hammer beam, double hammer beam etc, with diagrams and photos of outstanding examples. Sydney Uni, main building, has not one but two superb hammerbeam roofs in the Great Hall and McClaren Hall.

--Amandajm 10:20, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

I know what you mean! It's one of the reasons it's easier to write about historic subjects. Even there, the info changes with recent schoolarship, but at least I'm not trying to kkeep up with technical changes. Thank God for Banister Fletcher! A great deal of the info contained therein has not changed much since 1898. The speed with which an efficient team can put up the frame of a house now is amazing.

I'm not suggesting you parrot someone else's words. Not a goood way to go. But there have to be texts which support you in general principal. An, yes, I agree that in a technical industry, it would be better to cite recent texts than 30 yr old ones.

With citing references, an article doesn't need inline references unless it's stating something that is likely to be challenged, or is fairly recent knowledge. If, for example, you say that a slate roof has a longer life than a galvanized steel roof, it doesn't need referencing because it's very straightfoward information, but if you say that a roof treated with aluminium and zinc has been found to have a longer life than a roof treated with zinc alone, it probably does need an inline cite, and the option is to to make a link direct to the Bluescope website, because it's what they say. If it's an academic subject, they require academic texts. But this isn't. But it does need a few more references at the bottom.

So I think I'll track down the websites of some slaters, thatchers, and shinglers, just for the look of it! --Amandajm 03:07, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Missing image Image:Kakadu 2803.jpg

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Image:Kakadu 2803.jpg, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Image:Kakadu 2803.jpg is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Image:Kakadu 2803.jpg, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. --Android Mouse Bot 2 22:14, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Formwork

Hello. Please do not add size forcing information to images as you did on Formwork. WP:MOS (Wikipedia Manual of Style) will explain to you how size forcing should not to be used except in some rare situations (such as when an image is directly underneath an infobox, and the article is clearly visually improved by having the image the same width as the infobox.

If you add image size forcing to a page, you are overriding user preferences (which you can set in your preferences). If you feel that the thumbs are too big - change your own preferences, and please let others set theirs. Happy editing and Cheers, MadMaxDog 08:26, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Regarding your images

Hello, Billbeee. From what I've seen, it looks like you're claiming the images you've uploaded from a website are all ones you've taken. The reason we're deleting them is because the website you're getting them from explicitly states that they are held under copyright. In order for them to be used on Wikipedia, which is a free-content site, we need you to email verification of the licenses you uploaded the images under to permissions-en-l AT lists DOT wikimedia DOT org, so that one of our OTRS volunteers can verify the license and archive your permission in our files. Once this is received, they will undelete the images and they will be available for use again. Sorry for the confusion. If you have any more questions, please feel free to leave me a note or check out WP:COPY. Thanks. Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 17:18, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

That should help - it may take some time to get the email filed properly, but once the OTRS volunteers see it, and verify that there are no problems, they will restore any deleted content that falls under those terms. They may have some further questions for you, so keep checking your email just in case. Best of luck. Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 23:51, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

From your profile you seem to have DIY/ Construction experience..

Wikibooks is a project developing how-to guides and textbooks, One on DIY would be useful :)

Alternativly, you could consider licensing your website under CC-BY-SA which would allow Wikipedia/Wikibooks to make use of the content on it more directly :)

Timber roof trusses

I don't know if you watch that page, but I have left a detailed edit summary re a change.

It is to do with terminology. Not roof terminology, but artistic terminology. It's a problem that I run across frequently.

Please don't refer to any drawing, plan, diagram, illustration, print, cartoon (meaning full-sized plan for a major artwork) or cartoon (as in Mickey Mouse) as a "sketch". Not unless it looks roughly drawn, and as if the artist knocked it off in less than a minute flat. These examples are all by Leonardo:

• 
  Not a sketch. It's a drawing.
• 
  Not a sketch. It's a diagram.
• 
  This is a sketch or a drawing.
• 
  This is definitely a sketch

Files missing description details

Dear uploader: The media files you uploaded as:

• File:Chimney-cricket.png
• File:Boxed-valley-gutter.gif

Notification of automated file description generation

Your upload of File:Bandsaw-resaw.jpg or contribution to its description is noted, and thanks (even if belatedly) for your contribution. In order to help make better use of the media, an attempt has been made by an automated process to identify and add certain information to the media's description page.

This notification is placed on your talk page because a bot has identified you either as the uploader of the file, or as a contributor to its metadata. It would be appreciated if you could carefully review the information the bot added. To opt out of these notifications, please follow the instructions here. Thanks!

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Proposed deletion of File:Whitlam.jpg

The file File:Whitlam.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unused image, no context to determine possible future use.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. --TheImaCow (talk) 12:19, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
