Hello, AlvinOtter, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using three tildes, like this: ~~~.

[edit] Flora and fauna

Alvin: Hi! Is there something I don't know about the Burl Ives recording? It says 1944 in sources I've checked. Isn't that date correct? Pepso 12:57, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

The 1944 date is erroneous, and will be corrected in the 2nd edition of THE MISCHIEVOUS ART OF JIM FLORA. Flora actually did design a few album covers before 1947, but they did not feature his characteristic art, merely his layout, typography, and visual elements, and they were not signed. In and of themselves, they add nothing to the Flora illustrative legacy.

Alvin: Got it. Should you put in some kind of comment on the stylistic similarities of Flora and Gene Deitch? Pepso 04:21, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Don't feel it's necessary. They riffed off each other (mutual fans), but there were so many influences on Flora (Miro, Klee, Picasso, Calder, the Mexican muralists, etc. etc. etc.) who were not mentioned in the Wiki entry, that I don't feel Deitch merits further mention aside from the UPA connection.

[edit] License tagging for Image:FloraPortrait.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:FloraPortrait.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:

[edit] King

King page looks much better now. But why did you remove his credits as an actor? Pepso 18:06, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

King (a friend) says he has never acted in any films. Same name, different guy. I am working with JD to revamp this page. Is there any way I can contact you directly to discuss the King and Flora pages? We seem to be working the same turf, from slightly different angles.

You've done an excellent job on these pages, and I have little or nothing more to add! Pepso 19:32, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Lord Buckley LP.jpg

This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Lord Buckley LP.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. When you use a generic fair use tag such as {{fair use}} or {{fair use in|article name}}, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image 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 '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 lacking such an explanation 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. _JD^talk 17:41, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

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.
