[edit] License tagging for Image:Altman-akhmatova.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Altman-akhmatova.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:
This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 02:04, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
- Please see the Image talk. Thanks for the negotiating a great deal on the image (ordinary the image would go as PD-USSR which existence is very contraversial) but are you sure Mr. George Mitrevski is the heir of Nathan Altman? abakharev 01:11, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
The picture is posted on the internet http://www.auburn.edu/academic/liberal_arts/foreign/russian/art/altman-akhmatova.html
Under the picture it clearly indicates who the copyright owner of the picture is. I contacted him and he agreed. I don't see how else I could verify it. This is an university sight. I do not think that a university professor of a well known university would play games on a legal matter. The entire correspondence is posted at the image site, as a justification.

[edit] Re: American Comparative Literature Association
No problem at all. Although copying a paragraph may or may not be copyright, pure original content is better. In fact, I will recreate it just because it was not a promotion of any kind but instead a good faithed attempt of including new information in Wikipedia. -- ReyBrujo 01:49, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use problem with Image:Albert Wass Statue.jpg
I notice you uploaded the image Image:Albert Wass Statue.jpg with the {{Newspapercover}} fair use image tag. However, it appears that this tag is totally unrelated to the content of the image, and as a result it may qualify for speedy deletion. Image:Albert Wass Statue.jpg has been tagged for deletion, and may have been deleted by the time you see this message.
If you can find a valid tag that expresses why Image:Albert Wass Statue.jpg can be used under the fair use guidelines, please replace the {{Newspapercover}} tag that you have placed on it with that tag. If no such tag exists, please add the {{fairusein|article name that the image is used in}} tag, along with a brief explanation of why this constitutes fair use of the image. If the image has been deleted, you can reupload it but please ensure you place the correct tag on it. However, you must not remove the speedy deletion notice.

[edit] Systematization
Please see my comment at Talk:Urban_planning_in_communist_countries#Strenuous_objection. And I have to say, an accusation of incompetence on my part is one hell of a first word back from a person with whom my only prior interaction has been to praise your work. - Jmabel | Talk 20:08, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
I have responded on my user talk page. You accused me of incompetence. I can't force you to apologize, but I am certainly not going to back down just because you are so sure of yourself in a matter where I have presented extensive evidence and your only evidence is the absence of a word from an unnamed dictionary. - Jmabel | Talk
[edit] Bucharest '56
Thank you for writing the original article - it is indeed a story that should be told. I've actually been planning to write about the Timişoara and Cluj protests for a long time now, but I never seem to get around to it. Your article thus fit very much within my own sphere of interest. The copyright business is fine - I just wasn't sure (you almost have to be a trademark lawyer to know some of these details). By the way, is there any reason you changed the image of Miss Filotti? I thought she looked better in the first one. Anyway, I look forward to your corrections. Biruitorul 20:44, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
- There is some material on the Internet about Timişoara / Cluj, but if you have additional material, by all means please send it my way. I'll try to finesse the copyright information to include what you've told me. Good point about Mrs. Filotti - it was not a happy time for her.
- You may have noticed that Anonimu has been attacking the content; let's work to fix that. A good article on Labiş, for instance, has just come out: [1]. Of course no one said "we murdered him" (or else it's still in the archives), but it's pretty clear what happened, so we should mention that. Also, in the other places where he put {{cn}} tags, if you do have citations, it would be great if you could put some in. I'll also try to bring back the stuff about Iliescu, since the connection is important and shows that his 1990 actions didn't come out of nowhere - in 1990 he was a fairly unreformed Communist who understood too well what students might do to his position.
- On the Hawaii matter: I do see how that might raise questions, especially because Hawaii isn't very Hawaiian today (only a few thousand pure Hawaiian natives remain, most don't speak Hawaiian, and the monarchy is extinct - no descendants remain). Still, I rather like the situation that existed between 1875 and 1893: Hawaii was formally independent, but because it could export sugar to the US with no tariff, it was essentially an economic colony of the US (and under its military protection), sending it thousands of tonnes of sugar per annum but only a couple hundred to the rest of the world. If it did receive independence, then a new monarch would have to be found, and he'd have to be accepted by most people, both of which are somewhat dubious propositions. So you might say that in theory I like the idea of a restored sovereign monarchy there, but putting that into practice wouldn't really be possible. Biruitorul 01:29, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
