Re: Houston Tower

edit

Look, I respect what you do, but there was no reason you should have deleted that image of the Houston Tower. There were no issues with it whatsoever. User:Fajubi —Preceding undated comment was added at 18:32, 18 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Just because you found an image on a forum does not necessarily mean that it "definitely has no copyright protection and therefore can be freely used". And yes, there were multiple issues with the image. If the image is indeed free (which I somewhat doubt), you must get the source - the original source (most likely the architect who conceptualized it) - and proof that it has been released under a free-use license.

[1] - BTW do not remove the Wells Fargo logo - We have logos for airports and other businesses, so it is perfectly okay to use the logo for Wells Fargo Plaza. WhisperToMe (talk) 06:04, 19 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

  • I do not understand how a skyscraper, which is managed as a property of a company, should not have its logo displayed while an airport, a company, or a non-profit would have their logos displayed. Anyway, regarding the gallery, Wikipedia:Image_use_policy#Photo_galleries says "Fair use images may never be included as part of a photo gallery, as their status as being "fair use" depends on their proper use in the context of an article (as part of criticism or analysis). See Wikipedia:Fair use for more details." - So I will have to move the Wells Fargo image back to the infobox. However there are two image slots for the infobox: One for the skyscraper itself, and one for the logo. WhisperToMe (talk) 00:23, 25 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

1. The agreement is perfectly fine. :) 2. I started some articles on another skyscraper complex in Houston and included its logo: Four Oaks Place WhisperToMe (talk) 00:31, 25 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Images

edit

Please read this and this before submitting any more images. Contrary to what you seem to believe, an image does not become free for everyone to use once it goes on the internet. Melesse (talk) 09:00, 19 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Re: Source of Houston Tower Image

edit

Okay, I found that the image was an image of a sketch done by the firm Emery Roth and Sons, though I have not the foggiest idea where the forum user found it, I can't seem to be able to find it anywhere else. The image was most definitely free as I just saved it off the site. I'll try asking him directly and see if that turns up anything. Fajubi (talk) 10:46, 19 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

You don't seem to understand. Just because you were able to save an image (as in the website didn't block right-clicking) does not mean images are "most definitely free." If you want to ask for proper permission to use the picture, see this guide. Melesse (talk) 11:38, 19 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Wikipedia Ambassador Program in Houston

edit

Hi! I'm leaving you this message because you're listed as a Wikipedian from Houston. The Wikipedia Ambassador Program is currently looking for Campus Ambassadors from the Houston area, to help with Wikipedia assignments at Texas Southern University. Classes at TSU will be participating in the Public Policy Initiative for the Spring 2011 semester, and the role of Campus Ambassadors will be to provide face-to-face training and support for students on Wikipedia-related skills (how to edit articles, how to add references, etc.). This includes doing in-class presentations, running workshops and labs, possibly holding office hours, and in general providing in-person mentorship for students.

Prior Wikipedia skills are not required for the role, as training will be provided for all Campus Ambassadors (although, of course, being an experienced editor is a plus).

If you are interested in being a Wikipedia Campus Ambassador, or know someone in Houston who might be, please email me or leave a message on my talk page. Thanks!--Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 20:10, 1 December 2010 (UTC)Reply
