Image upload

Hi,
just a quick question, what kind of picture are you planning to upload?
Cheers, Amalthea 22:51, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

Not a problem, I only have one right now and that is just a TV show with actress Laraine Day in her golden years. I thought it would be something could to contribute to her page because it shows the actress in question at a later point in her life. Thank you for doing this.

Have I been approved yet?Michael Power 2011 22:54, 26 March 2011 (UTC)Michaela Power 2011

It's only been a minute since you answered here, please have some patience.
Am I understanding you correctly, this is an image from a TV show? I would assume that image is copyrighted. From when is it?
Amalthea 22:57, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

Odd I thought I posted the response already. It is from 1985 Universal City Studios LLLP. Michael Power 2011 23:16, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

If it's owned by Universal City Studios LLLP and was taken in 1985 I don't see that we can use it here. Copyright won't have expired yet, and Wikipedia can generally use only free content (see Wikipedia:Image use policy). Amalthea 23:22, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

Copyright law claims that after 10 years it's in the public domain. Plus the screenshot is something I took. Please approve me if for all else just to experiement with how to upload images to the site. Michael Power 2011 23:26, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

Certainly not. http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/17/302.html: "In the case of [...] a work made for hire, the copyright endures for a term of 95 years from the year of its first publication, or a term of 120 years from the year of its creation, whichever expires first." You taking a screenshot of such a copyrighted work creates a derivative work without added original expression, which means that copyright still fully lies with Universal Studios. Amalthea 23:39, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

I appreciate your telling me that, I don't want any trouble really I don't. Maybe I'm better off not uploading it and just pursuing other picture options. May I please be approved now? I am anxious to try and I promise I'll be good. Michael Power 2011 23:41, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

In the case you mentioned I would agree, uploading it would be copyright infringement.
I have marked your account as confirmed, you should now be able to upload images. Please make sure that you respect copyright, otherwise your images will have to be deleted. Also, any free images that would be useful for other language Wikipedias should actually be uploaded to WikiMedia Commons, where your account is also valid. Amalthea 23:46, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

Thank you, I promise to be on my best behavior and I will try to uphold the image laws of Wikipedia to the best of my ability. If I should falter I want to specify now that it is unintentional not intentional. Michael Power 2011 23:48, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

Your recent edits

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four halfwidth tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 22:58, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

My signature Michael Power 2011 23:00, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

I assume you have the 'Treat the above as wiki markup' checkbox in your preferences checked. The bot doesn't recognize your signature unless it links back to your user page. Amalthea 23:04, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

Okay, let me try again. Michael Power 2011 23:05, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

Am I almost approved yet? I don't mean to sound impatient really I don't. Michael Power 2011 23:11, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article Amy Adams, please cite a reliable source for the content of your edit. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. See Wikipedia:Citing sources for how to cite sources, and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Elizium23 (talk) 01:10, 27 March 2011 (UTC) Okay, I'm sorry. I did notice in the article the reference to Mormonism but come to think of it there was mention that her family left the church so perhaps she can be catergorized as a "Former Latter Day Saints".

Fair use rationale for File:My Dear Secreaty poster.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:My Dear Secreaty poster.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Please do not add or change content without verifying it by citing reliable sources, as you did to Jean Harlow. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. GcSwRhIc (talk) 19:57, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

L. Brooks

Hi,
Which edition are your page references coming from? Varlaam (talk) 21:07, 27 March 2011 (UTC) I'm not quite sure which edition it is because there are quite a few biographies on her. I got the information from the book I got at my local library and it is entitled Louise Brooks: A Biography by Barry Lewis; here is the ISBN which I looked up online; 0816637814. If the information is incorrect then it was placed in error and I didn't mean to infringe or put down anything untrue. Michael Power 2011 21:13, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

I believe you mean Barry Paris?

If you check the references section of the page, there are at least 3 editions. The pagination may or may not vary.

I think of Knopf 1989 as the standard one; that's the one I bought 20 years old.

Is your publisher Knopf or someone else?

Varlaam (talk) (Toronto)

I did mean Barry Paris, I guess I accidently mispelled the name. I looked the information up online and the publishing information states that the book was published on July 10, 2000 by the University of Minnesota Press. Michael Power 2011 21:29, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

That would be one of the 3 I mentioned.

If you're interested in a Brooksian side project, you might carry on the footnote consolidation I've begun which uses the {{Rp}} template.

Any interest?

Varlaam (talk)

That is a kind offer but no thank you. Michael Power 2011 21:35, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

Malious Sourcing

Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, but we cannot accept original research. Original research also encompasses novel, unpublished syntheses of previously published material. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your information. Thank you. A contributor known as "68.70.27.96" use of referenced pages in Stenn's book on Clara Bow did not verify his claims and where reversed. He like you have made similar edits (religious and political) on numerous biographic articles including Whoopi Goldberg, made by you, which I randomly checked. Using http://www.freebase.com/view/en/whoopi_goldberg to claim that Goldberg "considers herself an atheist" is not consistent to our project's goals and if you have similar unfounded, I.E. fabricated claims you and your obvious twin, better revise them.

Replaceable fair use File:Judy Gold.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Judy Gold.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. dave pape (talk) 03:06, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
