Tupac

I did a major edit of the Tupac article, if that's what you're talking about. RickK 18:04, Jul 13, 2004 (UTC)

Michael Jordan Pic

I am not an expert in this, but i believe that a reasonable priced subscription from a wire service would give us only the right to show the image on our page. Yet Wikipedia wants public domain or GNU free documentation licensed images. To buy these PD or GFDL rights from a wire service would be a whole lot more expensive. I am guessing this may be from $100 upward per image. I'd rather have more servers. About Michael Jordan: Maybe we can show a book title (does he have a biography?), or maybe a fan has a private photo of him. Keep looking-- Chris 73 | Talk 23:44, 14 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Links within Pages

I want to put a link from the German Page de:Commodore Produktübersicht to the Product line section of the Commodore International page. I tried [[Commodore International#Product line]], but that didn't work. I tried [[Commodore_International#Product_line]], but that didn't work either . Salasks 03:36, 15 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Interwiki links to sections do not work, except with external link style. Hence, the link has to be in the page, instead of in the edge (done). The HTML has the code %23 for #, which does not work.--Patrick 11:02, 15 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Hi Salasks. I moved this from the village pump in case you hadn't seen the reply yet. Angela. 15:24, 21 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Hoover

I put a link to your HooTow image on Hoover Institution. jengod 23:02, Jul 21, 2004 (UTC)

Associated Press

Hi, welcome to Wikipedia. We can't use wire service photos because they're copyrighted. RickK 19:17, Jul 29, 2004 (UTC)

Hordaland picture

Does anyone know about the picture on Hordaland? One picture that's supposed to be there isn't, and the other isn't on Wikipedia so it doesn't show up. I'd upload it and add it, but I'm not sure if it's fair use. Salasks 00:33, Aug 2, 2004 (UTC)

The first one doesn't show up because it doesn't exist. Are you sure you have the name right? The second doesn't show up because we don't allow external images on en. It's too open to abuse and plain old breakage. -- Cyrius|✎ 08:10, 8 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Bot Request

I moved your bot request to Wikipedia:Bot requests. Kevin Rector 14:30, Aug 19, 2004 (UTC)

Image:Novice garden.jpg

I remember this image from a reference desk question a few weeks back. Are you releasing the image under the GFDL? Public Domain? Copyright© you and used under fair use provisions? --Ardonik.talk() 04:28, Sep 8, 2004 (UTC)

GFDL or public domain, whichever's bigger Salasks 16:24, Sep 8, 2004 (UTC)

Public domain's bigger (no restrictions whatsoever). I'll slap {{PD}} on the image page. Thanks much! --Ardonik.talk() 20:20, Sep 8, 2004 (UTC)

Do you have a larger version of this image? If so, could you upload it? Thanks, Andrew pmk | Talk 01:47, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

Article Licensing

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

• Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
• Multi-Licensing Guide
• Free the Rambot Articles Project

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1

I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:

{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

OR

Option 2

I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:

{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

paniq on VfD

There is an interesting discussion over on VfD for the bio-article for German demoscene musician and artist paniq. I was hoping you could enter a comment or vote after reading through and reviewing the article. -R

Tough call and I don't know enough about the scene. After reading through the comments and the article, I still have to abstain. Salasks 15:32, Feb 10, 2005 (UTC)

Bürgerliches Trauerspiel

Hi, I just translated Bürgerliches Trauerspiel and moved it to Bourgeois tragedy. There is still a lot of work to do on the article, though.--Thomas Ruefner 15:41, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)

pywikipediabot framework

Within the pywikipediabot framework, there is an interwiki linker bot. It should fit exactly your needs for your bot request. Or you can check Wikipedia:Bots for any current bots running the interwiki bot. -- AllyUnion (talk) 04:02, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)

{{User Pennsylvania}}

I was clearing out Wikipedia:Wikipedians/Pennsylvania. I added this template to your page. Feel free to remove it, and thanks for understanding. --evrik 04:18, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Kidrock.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Kidrock.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. —Angr 14:31, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Please claim your upload(s): File:Oktoberfest, Munich (2003 - aerial shot).jpg

Hi, This image was seemingly uploaded prior to current image polices, Thank you.

However, as part of ongoing efforts to ensure all media on English Wikipedia is correctly licensed and attributed it would be appreciated if you were able to confirm, that it was your own work, by marking it as {{own}}, amending the {{information}} added by a third party, and by changing the license to an appropriate "self" variant. You can also add |claimed=yes to the {{media by uploader}} tag if it is present to indicate that you've acknowledged the image, and license shown (and updated the {{information}} where appropriate).

This will assist those reviewing the many many "free" images on commons that have not yet been transfered to Commons. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 15:24, 7 August 2016 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of File:Swami harmonium.jpg

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.
