[edit] Al Franken

Hi, about the picture of Al Franken, the reason it was removed was that it had no information about its licence or source--without knowing the source, we can't even claim fair use. See Wikipedia:Copyrights for more info. Best, [[User:Meelar|Meelar (talk)]] 15:50, 2004 Sep 3 (UTC)

[edit] Perry-class frigate picture

Hi. Why did you change to picture on Oliver Hazard Perry class frigate? The new one doesn't seem like an improvement, IMHO, being dark and backlit, with no sense of movement.

I changed the picture since it effectively showed the detail on the starboard side of the ship. Also, the ship was moving as seen in the wake by the stern, just not moving very fast. I used this picture as I thought it looked nice and was on my desktop until I changed it to something else. I would like someone to resize the picture and make it smaller. --Blue387 04:14, 1 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Someone shrank it from 500 pixels to 350. You can fix the size of an image by setting the "..|###px|.." parameter.

• Image:Voyager-bottom.jpg

Hi. I saw the image and noticed it has black circles all over the background. I can probably only see them because I am using an LCD laptop screen, which shows up subtle variations in brightness when viewed from odd angles. Could you re-upload this image without the editing, or email it to me so I can remove whatever you were covering up (stars, I presume). Thanks. :) - Mark 14:32, 17 Oct 2004 (UTC)

[edit] 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)

[edit] Unverified image

Hi! Thanks for uploading the following image:

• Image:Ds9.jpg

I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag. Could you add one to let us know its copyright status? (You can use {{gfdl}}:

if you release it under the GNU Free Documentation License, {{fairuse}}

if you claim fair use, etcetc.) If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know at my talk page and I'll tag it for you. Thanks so much. Denni☯ 04:23, 2004 Dec 13 (UTC)

P.S. You can help tag other images at Wikipedia:Untagged_Images. Thanks again.

[edit] W. Mark Felt

Salve!
I nominated W. Mark Felt as a WP:FAC. As you commented on the Deep Throat talk page, I'd appreciate your comments at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/W. Mark Felt. PedanticallySpeaking 15:48, Jun 17, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Fictional presidents

I just spent a few minutes comparing different versions of the List of fictional U.S. Presidents to figure out who made this particular glitch.

"Choosing Michael Dukakis as your running mate" is not a superpower. Why would you have thought it was? DS 3 July 2005 19:15 (UTC)

• That was a joke intended to see if people truly proofread Wikipedia pages. I also wanted to make a statement on how things can easily be missed on the Wikipedia in front of everyone and I am amazed it took this long for someone to notice. I apologize if I have annoyed or offended you. --Blue387 6 July 2005 19:24 (UTC)

Hello. You seem interested in Star Trek material. Please see my Wikipedia:Non-canon Star Trek survey. Thanks. — JIP | Talk 09:40, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Centaur-cgi.jpg

Do you know the origin of this image? It's been re-tagged as a screenshot, but I don't think it is. AlistairMcMillan 02:14, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

I looked it up: this image came from Ex Astris Scientia, scanned from Star Trek: The Magazine. The URL is: http://www.ex-astris-scientia.org/scans/factfiles/centaur-cgi.jpg. --Blue387 03:31, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Template:Manhattan

Do you think I should add another category to the Manhattan template such as "museums"? Or wait and work on the other boroughs? Also I see you are having images deleted in the great purge. Come join the discussion at Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Ta bu shi da yu 2. I hope your still up, its not even 11:00pm. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 03:53, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

To be honest, I have no position on the issue. I only modified the Manhattan template to add the Hell's Kitchen neighborhood. I guess if you want to add it, there's no harm in doing so. --Blue387 05:30, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] You Are My Sunshine

Hey. Sorry to be picky, but I have it on good authority (I am a season ticket holder) that Wigan Athletic still use YAMS as a club anthem, contrary to your minor edit. I assume this was meant as a grammar correction. Cheers. Hindleyite 16:59, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Yes, it was. I changed it now. --Blue387 20:25, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image Tagging Image:Kirk001.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Kirk001.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. 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 unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Image legality questions page. Thank you. Rossrs 14:25, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hi!

I was reading the discussion page of 'John Edwards'. I made some edits (with references) to modify the right-wing POV on his court cases. I was heartened to see your discussion, as well. There is an incredible amount of politicizing on Wikipedia, or should I say using WIkipedia as a vehicle to push an agenda. I have worked at length on the 'tort reform' article, with its previous a million and one links to other articles (all of which were more tort reform diatribes). I also like your userboxes, and may borrow one or two, if it's okay. I like blue too.  ;-) jgwlaw 23:21, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for supporting the PNG format!

Thank you for saving Image:Mattsantos.PNG in the PNG format before uploading. The PNG format has a number of advantages over the GIF format, so I'm really glad you used PNG instead of GIF. ---Remember the dot 20:54, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Picard1.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Picard1.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{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 the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Bob 07:56, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:EMH001.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:EMH001.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 21:28, 14 February 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Image:Voyager-bottom.jpg

The Voyager-Bottom image should be reverted, IMO. The starfield blackness in the background is at 4% brightness, but whoever edited this image used a 0% brightness brush to remove some of the stars. It's very obvious on my laptop screen. Not even noticeable on my desktop CRT. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.252.7.162 (talk) 23:48, 6 March 2007 (UTC).
