Pictures

Hello,

I found a picture of the composer Aaron Copland from the Library of Congress website (government). It was uploaded and I said the source was from the government being the Library of Congress.

It was deleted for some reason however stating that there was no copyright status on the picture.

How do I upload pictures then?

Thanks.

Private Information

I received a message from you asking me not to release Private Information about a member that they have not chosen to share on Wikipedia. I am wondering whether that information applies when someone is an editor of a magazine and uses their Wikipedia identity to delete information about a rival publication under the cloak of anonymity?

He has admitted his identity fully on another website when this information came to light and therefore, the revelation of his identity was relevant to the discussion as it showed that edits were being carried out because of personal agenda and bias. Thank you for your time, CrimeBuff.

The Midway Sightings

I went and corrected it; I had thought there was a speedy tag for blatant advertising done in less than 48 hours, but I turned out to be incorrect; by that time, I'd hit the return key on accident. I'm still looking for info that may cooborate this as either advertising or part of a alternate reality game.--み使い Mitsukai 02:46, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Thank you

I knew that fair use images need to be used in some article...But some how got annoyed when I saw Albert Ekka’s stamp was deleted. He was one of the unknown soliders who became popular only after his death. I believe that there are no images of him in public domain and all are borrowed from the Indian Army’s Website.I still novice in viewing version histories.. So I was under the impression that there could have been some issues with the bot. I apologize. Thank you for your help and clarification.... Have a great day... bye....IndianCow 08:29, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Image Tagging for Image:Spore_print_sheet_png.png

Hi Martyman.

Yes, my mistake - I created the png from an earlier jpg image - the jpg was in the 'images for cleanup' category. I seem to remember the jpg original was uploaded by User:Rafti Institute and added to the article [[1]] by them - a number of their images had 'ifc' tags and I edited several of them back then. I can't think why I didn't add the name of the original uploader to the page, unless it was because I was having trouble with a slow Wiki and then forgot to come back!

BTW, the file it was based-on was Image:Spore print sheet.jpg but it appears to have been deleted.

Regards, Ian Dunster 11:57, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

Well, I can make the image smaller and degrade it slightly, so that it would be usable under 'fairusein' but I'm not sure that that would be of much use without having a proper source for the original image. Ian Dunster 13:13, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Image legality questions

Hi, we started a new page at Wikipedia:Image legality questions, pretty much the same thing as the old Orphanbot help page just not in user space, also {{image source}} and {{image copyright}} link there, if you want to keep helping that would be great :D - cohesion^t 06:45, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Climatic Map of Australia

Hi, I just noticed your map of Australia's climatic zone - looks good. There seem to be a couple of minor short comings however.

This map http://www.bom.gov.au/cgi-bin/climate/cgi_bin_scripts/clim_classification.cgi illustrates that the area in far northern N.T. experiences an equatorial climate and that the area in south west Wa has a temperate climate.

Locator Map

Hey Martyman, I used your locator map and edited it to mark Amity Point. I hope you are okay with this and if not, could you please make a map showing its location.

Cheers, Gavin_sidhu

canberra images you have taken

Hi There Martyman, I was searching over google and have come across from brilliant photography of yours, such as mount ainslie, and the great panorama of lake burley griffin. I am organising a vehicle car show for 2007 known as "Shannons Wheels Expo", and i was interested in using one of your photographs for some flyers i was making up to help advertise the car show. It is 100% non profit, and supports local charitys, if you would like more information, visit http://www.actmotorclubs.org.au/go/shannons-wheels-expo Let me know if this is okay, my email address is Chris.Faulkner@streetrides.org.au Regards, Chris

Martin says yes, though I think I might have taken those -- but luckily I say yes too. John.Conway 11:56, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Diagrams/maps

Hi there Martyman, I noticed you have created a lot of maps/diagrams for wikipedia. Can I ask why you have chosen to use the PNG format instead of SVG? I'd like to help out with some maps as this is something that Wikipedia is patchy with at the moment. Also, what do you use as a basis for your maps? Do you trace existing maps? How do you do it? Just wondering.. :) Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 15:16, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Maps

Hey!

I really like your maps of Australia, but could you produce some maps of the individual states at a reasonable size? We need each image to be 230px wide for use as a locator map. I assume you still have the original illustrator files. If you want, it may be easier, you could give me the files, and I can then build the state images.

Thanks anyway, TheJosh 07:51, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Image Data

In November 2005 you created the image Canberra timeline-MJC.png. This graph has been tagged into the Collaboration to convert graphs to SVG.

licensing of a derivative work of one of your maps

Hi Martyman, I've used your Tasmania locator map in this image. As the locator map is now pretty small and the other part of the map is public domain, I'm wondering if you would agree to drop the GFDL license on the derivative work? If so, could you simply change the license of that image to PD using your Commons account (to signal your "okay")? Thanks (whatever you decide), Ibn Battuta 16:05, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Got an original version of an image?

Hi, I noticed that you were the author of an image, , using Adobe Illustrator. Is there a chance that you could either upload an SVG version or email me a vector (.ai preferably) copy to convert to SVG?

Canberra Population Timeline - Converting to SVG

Hello Martyman;

I am currently working on rebuilding your Canberra Population Timeline graph in SVG. From the Australia Bureau of Statistics, I got data for the past decade. However, I have not found statistics before 1991. If possible, I kindly ask for a listing of the data used in your graph. Alternatively, I would be happy to recollect the data myself, if you could point me toward your sources.

I've used one of your maps but...

Hi. I was looking for a template to use as the basis for a location map for the Dampier to Bunbury Natural Gas Pipeline. Found one of yours (Perth locator-MJC.png) and made some modifications. The end result is Image:DBNGP.png. Please forgive me if I've contravened your rights re: your original work. Can you have a quick look at how I've treated the licensing issues. I'm pretty sure I've botched the license attributes by not properly acknowledging your original work or whatever. E.g. even though I've mentioned you in the description field, I seem to be claiming my new map as an original work. Please set me straight if I've gone down the wrong track entirely. Apologies in advance etc...my humble excuse is -I'm only new at this! --Glen Dillon (talk) 14:44, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

Furthermore, I may have selected the wrong license type for my map...given that my work is a derivative of yours, I might not have a right to release mine to 'public domain'. Your thoughts?--Glen Dillon (talk) 11:45, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

Suspension of admin privileges due to inactivity

Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative privileges of users who have been inactive for one year, meaning administrators who have made neither any edits nor any logged actions in over one year. As a result of this discussion, your administrative privileges have been removed pending your return. If you wish to have these privileges reinstated, please post to the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e., as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised and that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions). This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.

File:Telopia park school-NLA01.jpg needs authorship information

Dear uploader:

The media file you uploaded as File:Telopia park school-NLA01.jpg appears to be missing information as to its authorship (and or source), or if you did provide such information, it is confusing for others trying to make use of the image.

It would be appreciated if you would consider updating the file description page, to make the authorship of the media clearer.

Although some images may not need author information in obvious cases, (such where an applicable source is provided), authorship information aids users of the image, and helps ensure that appropriate credit is given (a requirement of some licenses).

• If you created this media yourself, please consider explicitly including your user name, for which: {{subst:usernameexpand|Martyman}} will produce an appropriate expansion,
  or use the {{own}} template.

• If this is an old image, for which the authorship is unknown or impossible to determine, please indicate this on the file description page.

If you have any questions please see Help:File page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 14:06, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

Canberra District Map

Just noticed some minor errors on your district map:

• Pialligo: Majura District
• Symonston: Jerrabomberra District
• Beard: Jerrabomberra District (to be added)
• Molonglo Valley District: (to be added)

or for more details, see map here: http://www.actmapi.act.gov.au/desktop.html (Click "Basic Map for Desktop").

I'd do it myself, but I lack any non-copyrighted source (ACTMAPi is copyrighted) to trace a map from.

Cliché question

G'day Martyman! How's 2017? I hope you're having a ripper! Just to notify you (uhh again...), if you made the maps and diagrams in Adobe Illustrator, it's best to upload the files as SVG and not PNG, as it becomes flexible and people can more easily append corrections.
