Template:Currentlyactivevehicles (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Everyday...more and more countries get added.....this will make the already messy template more difficult to read.I don't think it really serves the purpose.There are no similar templates for economy or other fields.Morever, if the template is completed with all the countries.........it will distract the users from the original page.Thanks StrikeEagle ✈ 14:48, 21 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Unused. -— Gadget850 (Ed) talk 12:25, 12 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with Template:SCOTUS-case. The only difference between then is that this one indicates that the case is recent, and provides a Findlaw link to the case text. The latter is useful. Note that Template:SCOTUS-case should not be linked from anything itself, because it is a shortcut for creating an article from a case, and is supposed to be subst'ed. I would guess that this one should be subst'ed as well, but there only needs to be one template to do this job. Having the part about it being a "recent case" could be incorporated as an option in Template:SCOTUS-case. bd2412 T 17:48, 13 May 2012 (UTC)

The similarity in names is unfortunate, but I agree with bd2412 that {{SCOTUS-case}} serves a completely different function than {{infobox SCOTUS case}}. Including "recent" in the template's name is a misnomer, because one could be creating a new article about an old case. Some suggestions for the resulting template name could be:
  1. SCOTUS-new-case (again, "new" might also be a misnomer)
  2. SCOTUS-empty-case
  3. SCOTUS-create-case
  4. SCOTUS-blank-case
You get the idea. Groll†ech (talk) 13:27, 29 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Template:List as parameter (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

this template is no longer needed for template:Infobox NFL player, which is the example given in the documentation. while it may be useful for other templates, it's not clear which templates. the reason it is no longer needed for the NFL player box is that with one simple edit (adding a newline before the teams/awards parameters) there is no longer a need for "nowiki" markup to force a line break to allow the list markup to be parsed correctly (see item 6). hence, if this is needed in an infobox, it can be easily fixed in the infobox, rather than requiring the addition of this template to all the transcluding articles.

  • Keep as historical - it's not doing any harm and deletion would make historical revisions of a number of pages unreadable. That said, I will take care of the last article-space transclusion. --W. D. Graham 13:17, 28 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    Speedy Keep. Nominator has replaced the template himself on several pages in good faith, but does not seem to be aware that the template could not simply be replaced, but that the pages would have to be rewritten to accommodate it. I therefore had to revert his edits as they were causing severe formatting errors, so the template is in use again, and it will be some time before all transclusions can be removed. Per my previous !vote, I still believe that it should be retained as historical after this, in order not to make page histories meaningless. --W. D. Graham 15:19, 28 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I can also see the value of the historical aspect. However wouldn't it then be easier to keep the new template under the same name, and to use a format parameter as a switch to flip behaviours? Andy Dingley (talk) 18:55, 28 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Pedophilia (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Delete. Impossible for the selection of articles to be NPOV; in some cases, the connection is not only POV, it violates WP:BLP. However, if I just delete the BLP entries, there would be further dispute, so I'm proposing deletion in its entirety. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 01:34, 18 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

All the articles are pedophilia-related and cited in the pedophilia article. How is the connection POV? Oct13 (talk) 02:23, 18 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I removed the half-dozen articles not associated with pedophilia; it happens that none of the scandals actually have evidence or proof of pedophilia, even those which had evidence of child sexual abuse or accusations of pedophilia. Perhaps the template can be kept clean, after all. We'll see.... — Arthur Rubin (talk) 05:27, 18 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Details on template talk page. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 05:30, 18 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, but carefully review its links and what pages it's used on. All of the links there are unquestionably subtopics of pedophilia. I don't understand the BLP violation, unless this template is used on biographies (I haven't checked the links list) - Even so, there is nothing wrong with including this on biographies of a person convicted of pedophilia crimes, or a person or organization that advocates in its favor. (In fact, this template should probably have a proponents section linking to pro-pedophilia organizations and persons) D O N D E groovily Talk to me 03:04, 18 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The template doesn't link to biographies. I don't know of any pedophile organizations or persons. Oct13 (talk) 03:30, 18 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The template did link to reports on criminal cases, and the defendants are (in some cases) still living. Where convictions were not obtained, that is still a WP:BLP violation. Even if a conviction on child sexual abuse were to have occurred, it still might be a WP:BLP violation to assert that pedophilia was involved. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 06:49, 18 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I think I know where the perceived bias is from. I made this template using code from another template of mine, and forgot to remove the Catholic categories in the code. At first I thought Arthur added the categories, but than I remembered where I got the code from. My apologies. Oct13 (talk) 05:04, 18 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Strongly delete. The template violates principles of NPOV, civility, child protection. It looks like hidden intention to promote subject. Why should be mixed pro- and anti- p. organizations? Who should establish criteria for including articles to template? It should be deleted.Ans-mo (talk) 07:43, 18 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

What? Huh? Promote it? How the hell does an organized list of articles "promote" pedophilia? And don't tons of templates mix pro and anti organizations? I would expect an abortion template to list prominent pro and anti abortion organizations, and no one it their right mind would say that it's "promoting" abortion to point to articles about it. D O N D E groovily Talk to me 12:30, 18 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of this template would set a troubling precedent. Saying that this template can never meet NPOV creates the problem that any other topic about a topic that disgusts most people can never meet it either. Wikipedia is not censored, and there should be templates on topics that disgust people, and it would be completely wrong to delete all of them. And no matter how much something disgusts most of the population, everything has a minority who favors it. This template properly does its job in pointing readers to more articles on the broader topic, just as it should, and the difficulty in maintaining NPOV is not a valid reason to delete it, and probably eventually a whole bunch of other templates on disgusting topics. D O N D E groovily Talk to me 12:38, 18 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Not really. It's more like Category:Terrorists (as opposed to Category:Terrorism); there's too much disagreement as to whether something is associated with it. For example, Child sexual abuse (and subarticles) is (are) associated with pedophilia, but not closely associated. And, if we are to have consistent standards, the recently removed local organization should be included. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 14:08, 18 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. This template doesn't promote pedophilia anymore than the Medjugorje template I made promote the Medjugorje apparitions. Moreover, this template is about a disorder, not the people with said disorder. This template further distances itself from the child abuse and sexual abuse templates by including topics specifically about pedophilia. This template does not disgust me; on the contrary, I see it as a helpful means for people to find articles on pedophilia and related topics, the same as my other templates on their respected topics. Finally, I'm trying to find a better alternative to the word "Organizations", since it has too much of a pro-pedophilia feel to it; I want a word that explains the associations are pedophilic. Oct13 (talk) 14:40, 18 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Hebephilia, ephebophilia and child sexual abuse are not pedophilia, as made clear in their articles and the Pedophilia article. That is why this template is WP:Original research and a WP:NPOV violation. And I know that it's confusing when one says that child sexual abuse is not pedophilia; that's why you need to study this topic, starting with reading what the Pedophilia article says about that. Not all pedophiles commit child sexual abuse, and not all child sexual abusers are pedophiles. Flyer22 (talk) 21:53, 18 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hebephilia and ephebophilia are issues fixed by editing, not deletion. And I think the connection between pedophilia and child sexual abuse is so obvious as to qualify under WP:BLUE D O N D E groovily Talk to me 03:33, 19 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
If it can be fixed, then fix it. They should not be under the heading pedophilia as a type of pedophilia, especially not ephebophilia (which is the sexual preference for mid to late adolescents/teenagers; aka usually post-pubescent individuals). Pedophilia is the sexual preference for prepubescent children. Hebephilia is being debated as to whether or not it overlaps with pedophilia enough to be considered a subset of pedophilia (meaning pubescent children who still look prepubescent or very child-like), but it still isn't officially considered a type of pedophilia. Editors at the Pedophilia article have worked on that article to make clear in it what pedophilia is and isn't, and this template, as currently formatted, is undermining that. For the Pedophilia article to go over in the lead, as well as lower in the article in the Misuse of medical terminology section, how the term "pedophilia" is often misused, but then to have a template saying "Nope, it's all pedophilia"...is highly contradicting. We're trying to educate people here, so that they don't go around calling some 21-year-old guy with a 17-year-old girlfriend a pedophile, as though there is some significant physical difference between 17 and 18-year-olds. Too many people confuse pedophilia with age of consent and age of majority laws, and we're trying to keep that distinction clear. As for the connection between pedophilia and child sexual abuse, or pedophilia and other child sexual abuse behaviors, looking at the template more closely, I don't mind those being included since they are listed under Behavior. Flyer22 (talk) 14:50, 19 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. First, I don't see why possible problems with unwise placement of this navigational template should count in favor of its deletion. Also, I see a lot of, in my opinion, irrational, arguments flying here already, such as this template contributing to the promotion of child abuse, or that clearly belonging topics should not be associated with pedophilia. I suppose all of this is to be expected for this topic, but now I at least have given my opinion on the matter. __meco (talk) 11:40, 19 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hebephilia and ephebophilia are not "clearly belonging topics," as I've just explained above. That is my only problem with this template. If they are included in this template in a way that doesn't classify them as types of pedophilia, then I won't have a problem with the template. The listing for them should either be renamed or they should be removed. They should be listed as "Associated philias," "Associated chronophilias," or something of that nature. One could suggest "Associated paraphilias," but there is debate as to whether or not hebephilia is a paraphilia, and ephebophilia isn't even (normally) a paraphilia. Neither is an official mental disorder either, so they also shouldn't be categorized as "Associated mental disorders." Flyer22 (talk) 14:50, 19 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and edit as necessary. I read mainly the oppositional comments. All valid issues can be resolved by editing and having a template is not promotion any more than having any other template or any article is promotion. Nick Levinson (talk) 15:37, 19 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, Nick. That's all I'm asking for regarding this -- is accuracy. I don't see any promotion of pedophilia either. Flyer22 (talk) 15:54, 19 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep There is no reason in principle why we should not have a such a navigational template. Disputes about whether specific articles, e.g. hebephilia, belong in it is really a separate issue from whether such a template should exist at all. With regard to that issue specifically, not all things listed in a navigational template about X need actually be instances of X; they could be non-X things with some relationship to X (whether that relationship be one of similarity or of contrast.)

  • The reason to keep this template is based on it's historical significance. This template was the direct cause for the implementation of ParserFunctions which are of central importance building up the wiki. If someone is going to study the evolution of wikipedia and mediawiki, it's probable they will want to know about this template, as it was so widely used back in the days before ParserFunction. This template was also one of the causes to start protecting templates due to high usage, even without any apparant vandalism history. Also this template is related to the historical struggle defined in WP:AUM. Removing this template is basically to remove histrory from the wiki. →AzaToth 18:15, 30 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Non-free architectural work (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This template misstates the policy of Wikipedia and leads to situations like File:Atomium_20-08-07.jpg where a non-free image of a free work is uploaded. See prior discussion on this point at Template talk:FoP-USonly which is the tag that should be used instead. In the US, buildings before 1990 are not copyrighted. Period. There is no URAA restoration of copyright to foreign buildings because there was no copyright. See Wikipedia:Non-U.S._copyrights#Restored_copyrights where it is official Wikipedia policy that foreign building copyrights are not restored. For buildings constructed after 1990, the FoP law restricts the right of copyright owners to prevent the making of derivative works in the form of photographs. Hence this template is not needed. These works are not considered unfree under US law. -Nard (Hablemonos)(Let's talk) 14:47, 18 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - unnecessary. Use {{FoP-USonly}} instead.  Ronhjones  (Talk) 01:17, 20 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Let's continue the discussion at Template talk:FoP-USonly rather than debate one issue in two places. 9carney (talk) 12:57, 20 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete No need for two templates. The images are free in the United States, so it looks wrong to have a non-free licence. --Stefan2 (talk) 23:39, 20 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep obviously. This template has been in place since May 2008 and accurately states US law and Wikipedia and WMF policy. The proposed replacement {{FoP-USonly}} completely misstates both law and policy. Any proposals to amend policy should be made on the talk pages of the appropriate policies. There is lengthy discussion at Template talk:FoP-USonly 9carney (talk) 22:27, 21 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Neutral for now. Buildings and photos are not the same. While non-U.S. buildings lost copyright and are not restored by URAA, copyright of photo of any buildings is different. However, I see the point that the template says two-dimensional representation of multi-dimensional buildings. Back then, there was no "NOFOP-France" or "NOFOP-Russia", so they used this template. Now I have copied "Template:NoFoP-France" from Commons, and the Template:NoFoP-Russia is created. I wonder if these templates make this template more useful than it already is. --George Ho (talk) 21:39, 22 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Question: Are you saying that, for example, if I took a picture of a building in France constructed in 1985, I could upload it to the English Wikipedia under a free license? -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 04:32, 24 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • I don't think any of us are real or experienced experts on copyrights of derivatives of original buildings. A French guy from France may understand English, yet someone asserted that, in some other countries, accessing one website within one country is legal, while accessing other from another country is illegal. The question is: where are the servers of French Wikipedia? Besides Georgia (or Florida), where else are other servers of English Wikipedia? As for the "free license" part, use one license and "FOP-USonly". Unsure how free or unfree any image is; if unsure, this template can be used with "FOP-USonly". --George Ho (talk) 07:44, 24 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      • I don't know what happens if the photo copyright expires before the building copyright, but I would expect that both copyrights would have to expire before the photo is fully free. This situation ought to occur all of the time in Italy where buildings are protected for life+70 years whereas photos only are protected for creation+20 years. Anyway, this is irrelevant for the discussion held here. --Stefan2 (talk) 12:21, 24 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
        • This is definitely relevant to the question. If US FOP does not apply to other countries but we want to illustrate a French building, then we need to use this template. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 19:54, 24 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
          • Per 17 USC 120(a), the United States appears to allow photos of any building in any country to be licensed under a free licence. However, such a photo may be unfree in other countries. In my comment above, I was talking about the photo copyright status in the country where the building is located, but this might have been a bit unclear.
          • Also note that buildings completed before 1 December 1990 have no copyright whatsoever in the United States, see here. Thus, the discussion is only relevant to buildings completed on or after 1 December 1990. We should maybe create a PD-building template to avoid having to use custom {{PD-because}} templates as I did here when fixing the licence templates. --Stefan2 (talk) 20:37, 24 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • I have checked a number of images for which this template is used, and found out that it is typically used in three cases. For each case, I propose the following solution:
    1. Photo of pre-1990 building in a non-FOP country. Example: File:Areva1.jpg. Since the building was completed before 1 December 1990, the building is in the public domain in the United States, so there is no copyright to violate. Solution: Create a new {{PD-building-USonly}} template and use this, combined with a free licence for the photographer's contribution. Many photos of buildings have been changed from free to unfree licences, so it should be possible to retrieve valid free licences from the file history in many cases. If no free licence can be found, tag as {{di-replaceable fair use}}.
    2. Photo of post-1990 building in a non-FOP country. Example: File:Burj Khalifa building.jpg. Since the building was completed on or after 1 December 1990, the building is copyrighted in the United States. However, per 17 USC 120(a), photos of the building don't infringe the architect's copyright in the United States. Use {{FoP-USonly}} combined with a free licence for the photographer's contribution. If you can't find out when the building was completed, assume that it was completed on or after 1 December 1990 to be on the safe side. The {{FoP-USonly}} template isn't really suitable for pre-1990 buildings since the template assumes that the building is copyrighted.
    3. Preview of a not yet constructed building. Example: File:Trump Tower Design.jpg. Keep {{non-free architectural work}} but change the text to state that it only applies to this kind of images. These images shouldn't really be replaceable by anything until the building has been completed.
  • The template also seems to be used in a number of cases where it shouldn't be used, for example because someone is too lazy to take an own photo of a building in a FOP country, or where a different non-free tag would be more appropriate. --Stefan2 (talk) 21:10, 24 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • Whether the building was constructed before or after 1990 is entirely irrelevant. The template is used for tagging images, it's the copyright of the image which is important. 9carney (talk) 17:07, 25 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      • What matters is whether the photo is free or not, and in the majority of the cases where this template is used, the photos are free in the United States, so the template is currently misleading. --Stefan2 (talk) 18:59, 25 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
        • That's up to the uploader and copyright claimant of a photo. .....Well, anybody can take a picture within the United States and/or the United Kingdom and then post it in Commons, right? There's no need to use a non-free photo of a building that resides in either U.S. or UK, regardless of age, right? As for the overseas building, non-free license is needed for French and Russian buildings, no matter how or what the U.S. law says about ALL buildings worldwide. --George Ho (talk) 21:51, 25 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Just in case, File:BMW Group 5 320i Roy Lichtenstein 1977.jpg is free to use and share, as long as it is attributed. Meanwhile, the subject is also tagged with "non-free 3d art". --George Ho (talk) 01:54, 27 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nard the Bard, if as you say this this template misstates the policy of Wikipedia, please point out where the correct policy is documented. The recently created template FoP-USonly is based on a commons template for use on US buildings so is not a substitute for this template which is exclusively used for photos of buildings in non-FoP countries (ie. outside the US). The 1990 date only has relevance to the question of whether or not the photograph is taken on private property. URAA copyright restoration is not mentioned in the template so is not an issue. The content guideline you mention: Wikipedia:Non-U.S._copyrights#Restored_copyrights does not state that it is official Wikipedia policy that foreign building copyrights are not restored, that section explains US law, not Wikipedia policy. In any case it's the copyright of photographs of buildings which is the issue, not the copyright of buildings. The template explains that such photographs can be copied freely in FoP countries but not in non-FoP countries which is why they are not "free-content" in Erik Möller's definition. I personally would like to see official Wikipedia policy changed but I'd suggest the correct way to do that would be to initiate a discussion at Wikipedia:Village pump (policy), not here. 9carney (talk) 00:03, 28 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • The section you are requesting is Wikipedia:Non-U.S._copyrights#Duration of restored copyright: 'The duration of the restored copyright is "the remainder of the term of copyright that the work would have otherwise been granted in the United States if the work never entered the public domain":' For a building the full term is creation+0 years if completed before 1 December 1990, see s:Architectural Works Copyright Protection Act. Thus, a pre-1990 building would only be restored for the remainder of "creation+0 years", i.e. nothing.
For more recent buildings, note that 17 USC 120(a) does not specify any location of the building. Thus, the section applies to any building worldwide, and so you may freely distribute and produce pictures of any French or Russian buildings within the United States. --Stefan2 (talk) 12:25, 28 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The opening phrase of this template "This image is a two-dimensional representation of a building or architectural work" is a big clue that this template is only concerned with images of buildings and is not concerned with physical buildings which are copies of other buildings. Thus the Architectural Works Copyright Protection Act and any considerations of restored copyright have no relevance to discussion of this template. They are relevant to physical buildings which are copies of other buildings. As this template rightly says "Although this image can be freely copied in the United States, and in countries with similar laws (generally referred to as Freedom of panorama), it [the image] can not be freely copied in the country in which it [the image] was made and is therefore not classified as free content under the definition used by the Wikimedia Foundation". 9carney (talk) 21:54, 29 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Wikimedia-wide copyright policy is that a user should respect both the copyright laws of their origin and US copyright law. The suggestion of replacing {{Non-free architectural work}} with {{FoP-USonly}} directly contradicts this principle, and effectively invites users to violate the laws of their origin, which is clearly something Wikipedia shouldn't do. I came to this discussion after looking at File:Burj Khalifa building.jpg. Deryck C. 22:12, 30 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, morons. This nonsense really, really pisses me off. To illustrate how ridiculous those of you supporting deletion are being, I ask you this- will you be rushing to delete pictures of recent statues taken in countries where there is a freedom of panorama to do so? Clearly, only the United States (GOD BLESS AMERICA) matters, and, in the United States (GOD BLESS AMERICA) there is no freedom of panorama for statues. So, they should be deleted, right? Oh, wait, no, you don't believe that. You're just trying to circumvent the non-free content criteria. J Milburn (talk) 22:30, 15 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, for now. I wouldn't put it as strongly as J Milburn, but I too am a bit concerned here in that I don't understand how, if we are to decide we can rely exclusively on US law in those cases where US FOP rules are more liberal than those of the country of origin, we could at the same time continue to rely on the non-US law in those cases where the situation is the exact reverse (e.g. photos of statues in the UK or Germany). Not that I'd exclude the possibility that such a have-our-cake-and-eat-it-too approach might somehow be justifiable, and I'd truly be glad if somebody could explain to me in a reliable fashion that it is, but right now I just don't feel confident making that step without competent advice from somebody who really understands the issues better than most of us.

  • If {{PD-US-1923-abroad}} and {{FoP-USonly}} are valid tags -- i.e., English Wikipedia basically uses U.S. law, then this template does not make sense. It's about the definition of "free"; photos like this are virtually certain to not be a problem in the U.S.; they are not considered to be derivative works there and are fine. U.S. copyright law tries to treat foreign and U.S. works equally; their law explicitly states that photos of buildings are not derivative works, and I don't see any rational way that French etc. architects would have more rights on their work (in the U.S.) than American ones would. So, the photos are perfectly free inside the U.S. They are also almost certainly fine in the UK, Canada, Australia, Ireland, India, and any other countries which base their copyright law off the UK version -- in short, such photos would be fine in most of the English-speaking world. Photos of sculpture cannot rely on that though; at best the U.S. situation would rely on the FoP situation in the country of origin (not a sure thing, but feasible, on different grounds than the architecture situation, which is a virtual certainty). But I had thought that PD-US-1923-abroad had long represented the copyright policy for en-wiki, and this template does not make sense in light of that. The decision on this template has no bearing on the situation with statues; that follows an entirely separate line of reasoning which is not incompatible with this one (using foreign law to determine the copyright owner of such photos, which case law indicates the U.S. does, but the U.S. will use U.S. law only to determine is something infringes, which photos of buildings definitely do not). This is not a have-your-cake-and-eat-it-too situation; the reasoning on keeping photos of sculpture (which Commons has done forever too, despite also being constrained by U.S. law) is independent of this.Carl Lindberg (talk) 01:47, 16 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Would it be possible to verify the validity of both cases (US FOP for French buildings and British statues) by taking photos of selected objects and submitting those photos to the United States Copyright Office for registration? Or would it be necessary to publish the photos in the US and ask the sculptor/architect to sue the publisher for copyright infringement to test this? --Stefan2 (talk) 00:35, 18 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
