[edit] Skyrail Rainforest Cableway map

Excellent, your response time was very quick! Could you do one for the Kuranda Scenic Railway? - Shiftchange 01:16, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

I will do it, but not right now.. It is a much bigger map to do... Fosnez

The map for Kuranda Scenic Railway has been created, uploaded and released. Please let me know what you think. Fosnez 08:36, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

In case you wanted some detailed feedback I would definately suggest using a large font for names, using black or a darker grey for roads and railways. Optionally I suggest you move scale and compass headings to corner or side, make maps more square shaped, add a border and if there are more features add a legend. In this case I would extend the river to edge of map and I think showing the waterfalls was a nice touch. - Shiftchange 02:47, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Thankyou for your feedback. I have edited the map and after fighting with wikipedia's .SVG scaler, I have uploaded a new version. I link the rectangular map is better in this case because in thumbnail view it is more visible on the article's page, and it also"fits" the content better. Feel free to critique the new one.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Esperanza-near-flushing-harbou.jpeg

Thanks for uploading Image:Esperanza-near-flushing-harbou.jpeg. The image description 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.

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.

[edit] Howdy

Just checking in. I found a message that was apparently accidentally truncated before it was archived. I took the liberty to go back and fix it for you. If you decide you need any help with archiving or whatever, don't hesitate to contact me (or most other admins). Best, --Kukini 17:01, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

OH...and I noticed all the GREAT work you are doing here. Keep it up! We are very glad to have you amongst us! --Kukini 17:03, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use images aren't allowed in user pages

I found you are using the fair use images listed below on your user page. As per Rule #9 of the fair use image rules, you will need to remove those image. You can link to them, but not display them. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

If you don't understand why this is nessecary, you can ask the administrator Durin. He is better at explaining the problem than I am. You could also go to the policy portion of the village pump and ask there.

The list

• Image:Jove logo.png
• Image:Amarr logo.png
• Image:Caldari logo.png
• Image:Minmatar logo.png
• Image:Gallente logo.png
• Image:Cairns City Council.jpg
• Image:Beep industries.png

I will probably check back in a day or so to verify the images were either removed or converted into links. If you need help making the change, let me know. Will (Talk - contribs) 07:55, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Greetings, thankyou for placing the above on my talk page - most other people would have just deleted the images. I will be speaking to Durin because I personally believe that I do have a right to display them, as they are my own work. For the Jove, Amarr, Caldari, Minmatar, and Gallente logos, they are not registered trademarks, but rather are logos for ingame races for the Eve-Online MMORPG and are often used for promotional events and (CCP hf sanctioned) fan art. Re the Cairns City Council logo, I work for the council and I also recreated the orginal artwork for them. I also recreated the Beep Industries logo, so again, I believe I should have some right to display it. However I will be speaking to the admin as you suggested. Fosnez 08:16, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

• Will is correct. I'm sorry, but even if you recreated the images the original copyright holder retains rights to the image. In the recreation, you too have rights but you can not release the rights of the original copyright holder nor can they release yours. In essence, the images become utterly unusable without both parties consenting to a given use. Also, per Wikipedia:Fair use criteria item #9, we do not permit the use of fair use images outside of the main article namespace even if it is legal to do so. The images need to be removed from your userpage. I hope this helps to clarify. If you have additional questions, feel free to ask. --Durin 13:34, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Another user asked about that in the Village pump. The converstation is gone now. But I found it at http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Village_pump_%28policy%29&oldid=104681069#Partially_owned_images_on_user_pages. He deleted the images.

I have created an entry on the village pump, please place your comments there. Fosnez 07:37, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
