As an NJIT student, I thought your article on Newark, New Jersey was pretty spiffy, and much needed. The raw demographics in the article before were just not doing it for me, now there's a real article. Thanks for writing it! If you ever open an account at Wikipedia:WikiMoney, let me know and I'll give you 2 or 3 ψ (Wikis). :-) --cprompt 08:55, 23 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Newark citations

I have to agree with your last comment; the citations do look a little bad in the actual body of the text. Perhaps you could use some form of footnote style, or otherwise just list the pages that you're citing at the bottom of the article. From my experience on Wikipedia, I've found that most articles -- even in the coveted "featured" category -- tend to just list the books/websites that they gleaned information from, rather than using a more academic citation style.

That doesn't mean its the best way. Few articles on Wikipedia are cited properly. Being slightly better than bad isn't good :) - Taxman 22:34, Dec 1, 2004 (UTC)

To answer your last question: I don't live in Newark, but I'm pretty close -- I'm in Jersey City. (I like contributing to NJ-related articles.) Darkcore 01:51, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Image Copyright Tags

Hello! I've come across Image:Riots.jpg which you've uploaded with no copyright tag. If you get a second please tag the image with the correct tag, or let me know on my talk page where you got that image and I will tag it for you! Currently I have tagged it as {{unverified}}. Thanks. --MaxPower 20:10, 2005 Jan 13 (UTC)

Image:KibbutzDan.JPG

Thanks for getting that image. However, there is a slight problem with it. If it came from here, we cannot use it as the terms of service say "User may not copy, distribute, transmit or communicate to the public protected material, or prepare derivative works from it, without receiving prior written consent from the Office or from the owner of the copyright in the protected material, if said owner is not the State of Israel. ?". Can you shed some light on this? Burgundavia (✈ take a flight?) 22:33, May 14, 2005 (UTC)

• Basically, and IANAL, unless the copyright explicity says we can use it under a free licence it is non-free, which I suspect those images falls under. Sorry, but copyright law generally sucks. Burgundavia (✈ take a flight?) 01:21, May 15, 2005 (UTC)
  • Thanks. If you could mark which images are foreign affairs on WP:PUI, then I will delay them until I hear from you. Cheers. Burgundavia (✈ take a flight?) 22:48, May 16, 2005 (UTC)

Dahl book

How Democratic was a very interesting book. Based on the title, I thought it was going to be a trashy radical constitution-bashing piece, but it was actually quite thoughtful, if provacative. Dahl has a rather narrow definition of democracy and injects a bit of his personal politics into his discussion, but he does raise some interesting issues. I think I was already supportive of electing the President by straight popular vote before reading this, and somewhat dissatisfied with non-proportional, non-IRV electoral system. A interest-based rather than geography-based allocation scheme for the House of Representatives would be interesting, though I wonder what would be lost in the change. Maybe not much, considering people can run local-interest candidates if they want.

Working on this issue has been quite educational, especially with regard to how parliamentary systems work, and what electoral arrangements other countries make - two subjects which seem to be largely missing from the typical American civics class.

With regard to the Senate, Dahl makes a strong point when he asks why we are trying to protect the rights of states - artificial entities - when the only thing that really matters are the rights of people. He said there wasn't any interest of the people of small states that needed protecting, but I can see at least one - a sort of right to association and self-rule. The constituency that Washington serves is much different than that which say, Montpelier, Vermont serves. I can see why the people of Vermont might want to be able to have things in their own state a certain way, without interference from the federal government, because they feel differently about things than does the nation as a whole. This is especially relevant right now, considering that the Presidency and both houses of Congress are controlled by the same political party. Of course, the states have a lot of federalism protections that accomplish this; being able to hold up legislation in the Senate is an additional tool. It's certainly plausible that this arrangement does more harm than good, but it might be better to look at how things work in practice, rather than rigidly applying, "one person, one vote" as Dahl does. There are many reasons the federal budget process is messed up; perhaps Senate representation is one of them, though it seems that the House is worse about putting pork in the budget. It's an interesting theoretical question, though as Dahl points out, it has about zero chance of being changed, at least in the foreseeable future.

As it happens, I discovered in the course of all this that the European Union is creating a similarly "unequal" system (see Treaty of Nice). And of course the UN General Assembly already has one. -- Beland 13:39, 19 May 2005 (UTC)

Quotations

It would be my opinion that quotations generally do not belong in articles. The author of the article should be able to explain clearly in his or her own words. I feel that quotations are more appropriate for Wikiquote. -- Emsworth 8 July 2005 12:45 (UTC)

Upon reconsidering these particular quotations, I would have to admit that you are correct. I have added back the Wilson quotations. As far as the Senate article is concerned, I have glanced at the history and note that (as far as I am aware) I did not actually remove any quotations by any other editors. -- Emsworth 12:55, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

Newark

Hi there. Sorry to inform, but Newark is an FA removal candidate at the moment. Check: WP:FARC Someone there pointed out that there is actually no record of it having gone to a feature vote in the first place. You tagged it Featured, quite a while ago now, and the tag was subsequently formatted by Maveric149: [1]. The FA logs show no record of it going to a vote in March, Feb or Jan of 2004. Perhaps the rules were different then or you were unfamiliar with them but it seems to me this was made an FA out of process and as such should probably be speedily de-featured. Marskell 13:53, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

My apologies. I was informed by User:Raul654 that once upon a time any one could add feature tags which were confirmed later. Marskell 10:08, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

Here's a suggestion for you. Why not remove the Newark feature tag for the time being and then actually send it to WP:FAC, the candidate page? This page gets a lot more traffic than the removal page and after a week you'll have a much stronger article. It would be somewhat unusual to move a page from FARC to FAC but given that it's an old feature and never had the full vote there is some sense to it. You can check with User:Raul654 that this would be in order; I started a thread on his page regarding this page. Sorry again for suggesting you had done something wrong. I notice it was listed as feature as early as Dec 2003. Marskell 07:46, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

I see you left a message on my User page (and not my Talk page, where messages should go) claiming that you got permission from the University of Chicago to use this image and that it should be removed from the list to be deleted. Unfortunately, while you did get permission, the license that the univeristy insists we use in order to have that permission is incompatible with the legal conditions we need in order to keep the image here. Please read the info on the page for the image itself or on the deletion page. DreamGuy 04:41, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

Tom DeLay citations

I'm trying to find citations for some things in the Tom DeLay article.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

• make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
• Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, 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, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included.

Note that this is an automated message to inform you about the move. This bot did not copy the image itself. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 06:04, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Spec-statue.gif

Thank you for uploading File:Spec-statue.gif. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4. If the image is copyrighted and non-free, the image will be deleted 48 hours after 21:32, 1 January 2011 (UTC) per speedy deletion criterion F7. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kelly ^hi! 21:32, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:HistSoc.jpeg

Thanks for uploading File:HistSoc.jpeg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

• make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
• Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-enwikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-enwikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kelly ^hi! 21:33, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

Hello, I wonder whether you might agree to help: I wrote the entry Kibbutz Collective Education in the Hebrew Wikipedia. I am trying to translate it to English, in order to have it accepted in the English Wikipedia too. Would you agree to help me with it? Thanks, --Sima shimony (talk) 23:52, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Mount Pleasant Cemetery, Newark.JPG

Thank you for uploading File:Mount Pleasant Cemetery, Newark.JPG. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading File:P1020094.JPG.

This image is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image".

In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original image must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work.

While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, so the overall copyright status is unclear. If you did not create the original work depicted in this image, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright.

If you have uploaded other derivative works, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Image copyright problem with File:P1170164.JPG

Thank you for uploading File:P1170164.JPG.

This image is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such images would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a screenshot of a computer game or movie. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original image must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work.

While the image description page states the source and copyright status of the derivative work, it only names the creator of the original work without specifying the status of their copyright over the work.

Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the original image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other derivative works, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. Thanks again for your cooperation. Kelly ^hi! 23:55, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

File:Eingedi03.jpeg

Hi.

You uploaded this photo in 2005 with the text "Kibbutz Ein Gedi, {{PD}}". It was deleted in 2008 because there was no source.

File was copied to lb-wiki in 2006 and in 2012 to Commons. It is now being discussed at Commons:Commons:Deletion requests/File:KIBBUZ Eingedi.jpg.

I think it is a nice photo so perhaps you could tell us who took the photo? Was it you?

Thank you very much. --MGA73 (talk) 10:51, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

Notification of automated file description generation

Your upload of File:AtlanticYards.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!
