Science Fair Project Encyclopedia

Hi. You've helped with the Wikipedia:WikiProject Wiki Syntax, so I thought it worth alerting you to the latest and greatest of Wikipedia fixing project, User:Yann/Untagged Images, which is seeking to put copyright tags on all of the untagged images. There are probably, oh, thirty thousand or so to do (he said, reaching into the air for a large figure). But hey: they're images ... you'll get to see lots of random pretty pictures. That must be better than looking for at at and the the, non? You know you'll love it. best wishes --Tagishsimon (talk)

Sorry, I am currently abstaining from all article contributions. I moved your comment here, and in that connection, you may wish to consult with Stan Shebs on this – I am quite confident with his expertise on this front. El_C

Image copyright tags

I have added those tags now. All the best, <KF> 22:53, Dec 9, 2004 (UTC)

Please see my comment at Image talk:Osona Arms.png. -- Jmabel | Talk 19:50, Dec 10, 2004 (UTC)

I made that image and I don't care who uses it. Tag it appropriately. Thanks. Bensaccount 20:35, 10 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Image orphans

Thanks for adding orphan images to ifd. I wasn't sure if you knew, however, that the "What links here" section isn't reliable. It's usually right, but there's a bug in Wikipedia where, for no apparent reason, no pages show up in the "What links here" section even though the image appears on pages.

Here's how to get around it. Search on the image name, in quotes, in the search bar on the left. If it doesn't find any, Wikipedia lets you check what sorts of pages to check. Make sure all the checkboxes are checked, and search again. If nothing turns up, then it's a true orphan.

However, about half the time, Wikipedia's search is turned off, and it directs you to use Google or Yahoo. That's really not reliable, so you just have to wait til they turn the search back on.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. – Quadell ^{(talk) (help)}[[]] 22:08, Dec 10, 2004 (UTC)

Images

To be honest, I uploaded them then forgot about them ages ago... I've removed them as they aren't being used! - Ta bu shi da yu 22:24, 10 Dec 2004 (UTC)

The Prudential image came from a public domain site. User:dinopup

Image copyrights

Hi. The image "Oz-and-surrounding-countrie.jpg" is a reduced-size version of another uploaded by User:Woggly. Apart from doing the reduction, I know nothing about it; best to ask Woggly. --Zero 23:53, 12 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Bad image tag

Hi, I noticed you tagged Image:Pademelon.jpg with the GFDL tag, but its owner never agreed to license it under this license (as you can see in the permission e-mail on that page). Please refrain from placing other people's content under licenses they do not agree to. I'm aware of the checkbox on the image upload form, but I (the uploader) have no authority to assert that the image is under the GFDL, nor do I believe anyone takes that checkbox seriously. A more appropriate tag might be {{permission}}. You might wish to contact the permission-giver asking them to license it more widely. Deco 22:35, 13 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Images

Hi,

I have to read all the fine print carefully and then decide what category to put the images under. Right now I don't have the time. Will do it shortly. The images were drawn by me for a speculative article published in a journal. Permission was granted by the journal for reproducing the article in a specific context (not in wikipedia) through email and I don't know whether I have proof of it now. I have used parts of the article and images that constitute generic information in a wikipedia page - both words and images. I don't think such images can have copyright- anyone who draws them has to do so in that format except for variation in terms of artistic skill or representation. I hope you understand what I mean. Personally I don't mind distributing it free or whatever. Will look into it. KRS 15:32, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Copyright question

You left me a message about a copyright tag being needed for an image I posted in the article for the Ottawa International Airport As a fairly new poster to Wikipedia, I don't quite understand what that means, or what I need to do. I did take the photo myself. What must I do? Thanks. --Steggall (talk)

Most useful image copyright?

Hi. You left a note on my talk page encouraging me to put a copyright tag on some images I posted. Since I created the images in question, I can choose whatever. I wonder, what's a useful license or combination of licenses? I guess by posting it in the first place, I've released the images under GFDL. But I'll be happy to consider CC or something else. Any suggestions? Thanks for your attention to this issue, Wile E. Heresiarch 03:10, 20 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Thank you. I will use your posting as a reference. Steggall 14:00, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)

image copyright

Hi. Thank you for your note. I cannot verify the source of the image, Image:PantocratorSinai.jpeg. I would guess that it probably can be obtained under fair use; but I do not know. When I first joined Wikipedia, I uploaded this and a very small number of other images. I made enquiries concerning the copyright holders, but could not verify who that might be, if anyone. Since then, I stopped trying to use images found on the internet. Mkmcconn (Talk) 23:39, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)

The painting is more than a thousand years old; but the digital image (copyrightable) and the photograph (also subject to copyright) are very recent work, of course. The image had been stored on my computer for years, and I do not know if it is Public Domain or not. Mkmcconn (Talk) 23:20, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)
