Image copyrights and authors

edit

Hello Arian Zarrinkafsch, I noticed you uploaded and placed five pictures in the Mahmoud Afshartous article. The files are here 1, here 2, 3, here 4 and here 5. In the files, you entered yourself ("Own work") as the source for each and licensed them under yourself. If you didn't actually take the photos, than there is another source like a book or website. Please see Wikipedia's policy of image usage here: Wikipedia:Image use policy. Images need proper licenses and sources, otherwise they are considered copyright violations and deleted. Please add the proper source for each image. If I am wrong, please let me know. Also, you have a rather large copyrighted quote from TIME magazine in the quote. It isn't too brief and rather extensive. See some guidance on copying and pasting quotes. Brief quotes are acceptable but extensive are discouraged and violate free-use of copyrighted material, even if cited. You should put the TIME article in your own original words and make it part of the prose. If you have any questions, let me know.--NortyNort (Holla) 12:41, 6 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hello NortyNort,

the images are family pictures made in those days by my own family. Mahmoud Afshartous is my grand uncle! Thus, me and my family are in possesion of any copyright license of these pictures.

The article of TIME magazin is marked as cited from the journal with any references from the web. So if I write the link of that article orquoted it there where is the diference?

Thank you

Okay, well if you own the photos and hold the licenses then the current stated licenses are good. Regarding the quote, it is just very long. See WP:QUOTE for more. Quotes, especially from secondary sources like TIME, are supposed to be brief and short. A longer quote may be something from a law or constitution. In general, it would be an improvement if the quote was split up into prose. I can help you with that.--NortyNort (Holla) 08:19, 7 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

Yes, the photos are from our family archive and grandparents album, so there should be no problem with that. Well, would e grat to have some help with the quote-prose...I will have an extend look at it this weekend. Thank you so far! --Arian Zarrinkafsch (talk) 17:58, 8 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

Ok, I didn't see much from the TIME quote to add into the article but I added some of the details. Much of the quote was journalist "fluff", so it is difficult to draw much encyclopedic material from it.--NortyNort (Holla) 07:55, 10 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

Please stop removing the rewrite template from Zarrin Kafsh without actually rewriting the article to make it an encyclopedia article instead of a fairy tale. The Mark of the Beast (talk) 20:47, 6 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

سلام. مقاله‌هایتان را دیدم که برخی از آنها (همچون زرین‌کفش و زرین‌نعل) مقالات کاملی بودند و در ویکی‌پدیای فارسی چیزی درباره آنها وجود ندارد. سوال برایم پیش آمد که چرا این مقاله‌ها را در ویکی‌پدیای فارسی نساخته‌اید؟ می‌توانید ترجمه آنها را در ویکی‌پدیای فارسی هم بنویسید

Hi :) your articles in English Wikipedia (like Zarrin-Kafsh and Zarrinnaal) are about Iran's history. you can translate them in Persian and build their articles in Persian Wikipedia. If you have problem in writing in Persian I can help you; you can build your articles and I would be happy to edit them. good luck. Ashkan P. (talk) 15:59, 8 June 2014 (UTC)Reply

Re: Salam

Dear Ashkan, Thank you a lot. Would be to have the article in Persian. But my Farsi is not very good anymore, so I would not be able to write it by myself. If you could help that would be great! :-) --Arian Zarrinkafsch (talk) 11:54, 10 June 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.224.36.139 (talk) Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Zarrinnaal, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Shah Abbas (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Bahmanov, Persidsky, etc.

Hey hello, I believe you're quite actively participating in articles related to the, so I wanted to let you know that I've created two articles regarding offspring of these families (Amanullah Mirza Qajar, Feyzullah Mirza Qajar). Could you link me some more notable individuals with the surname Persidsky that are descendants of the Qajars? I'll make some articles for them too, preferably if you could upload pictures of them as well. Bests - LouisAragon (talk) 00:14, 22 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

@Arian Zarrinkafsch:, I don't think we communicated correctly last time, as you responded something totally different on my talk page than the question I placed here.^^^^^ I would really like to aid you further in improving these articles, so I kinda need the answer on the questions here above, if possible.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Bahman Mirza Qajar, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Barda (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
