image oddity

Hey there...

wonder if you could have a look at somehting and see if you can tell what the issue is. I came across Image:John-Paul-Jones.jpg and noticed that there is a duplicate copy at Commons. As I have done countless times before, I was going to swap out the link in the articles to the commons version and then nominate the local copy for deletion. When I went to change the image in Charlottesville, Virginia article, when I saved it it came back as a broken link; I have checked the spelling and things and it is fine. I started playing around in my sandbox and when the images have no critera on displaying, ie thumb, right, size etc, both images appear, see User:Jordan 1972/sandbox1 but when I copy the context from the article and simply change the image name, it comes back with the broken image link, see User:Jordan 1972/sandbox. I can not figure out why and wonder if you can shed any light on it. Thanks very much.--Jordan 1972 (talk) 23:47, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Hmm, must be just your browser. I tried it in FF 3, IE 7, and Safari on Windows and I can see both images on both your sandbox pages. howcheng {chat} 23:50, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Very weird; now its working fine on the sandboxes and article... I even tried the Ctrl+F5 on IE. Oh well, thanks.--Jordan 1972 (talk) 00:37, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

C'est la vie

I guess I really should have done it myself by then, heh. Nothing personal I guess, somehow I knew that picture was a goner when I really couldn't think of anything to justify its presence.

By the way, I put an entry in the Barack Obama talk page FAQ (Q18) about the picture. There were some folks who were looking for it in the discussion and are quite eager to bring it back, hopefully this might raise their understanding on why it cannot be used in the Misplaced Pages.

Cheers.

Obama Inauguration POTD

Image:Obama Portrait 2006 trimmed.jpg has not been on the main page yet. How do you feel about scheduling this for the day of the inauguration on January 20th?--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 18:13, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I had to wait until after the election, for one thing, since we didn't have a comparable McCain photo. Inauguration day would work. There's only one problem, which is that the photo sits in Political positions of Barack Obama where its encyclopedic value is pretty low, so writing a blurb about it may prove difficult. howcheng {chat} 18:28, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Is there a rule that the photo has to be included in the article to be a POTD. Can we use the Barack Obama FP and discuss the main article even if the photo is only in an offshoot article.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 20:08, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

Yes, see Misplaced Pages:Picture of the day/Guidelines (disclosure: I wrote the rules so I suppose I can break them if I want to, but there are no examples of when the POTD was not included in the corresponding article). howcheng {chat} 20:14, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

Can we sort of mention his political positions and then discuss him?--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 20:25, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

Proposal discussion moved from AfD discussion so as not to confuse the issues and comments

I have moved your superb Proposal discussion from the AfD page to the "talk page for that AfD. No slight is intended... only a wish to keep the issues seperated. Best, Schmidt, 20:37, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I've got the images for this article sitting in OTRS. Did you want to upload them or shall I? If you'd rather do it, the OTRS ticket is 2008111710014605. Thanks. howcheng {chat} 00:13, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

Thank you! I've uploaded and tagged them. I just noticed Commons:Template:OTRS pending, so in the future I'll use this template and upload photos as soon as I know that the confirmation of permission has been sent. —Remember the dot 01:32, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

Mae West Needs More Admin. Help!

Thank you very much again for your help with the Southerly Clubs images (see link on my user page)!

Please, if you'd like to help with another problem, see my recent note in Discussion on the Mae West page re references. An editor named Wildhartlivie watches this article along with some friends like User:Pinkadelica. They insist on having the unsightly reference template at the top of the article no matter how many references that are put in. It seems to me that there is some sort of personal policing of this article going on and that certain editors are hell-bent on controlling the content 100%. Reading correspondence between Wildhartlivie and Pinkadelica on their talk pages supports that suspicion (not very nice reading either, by the way). Is this allowed? I thought I made a reasonable point in Discussion there today, but it only took 4 minutes for Wilhardlivie to intercede again. We need another objective administrator's help here. Would you please help or forward this to someone who can?

I am now accused of "personal attacks" in my stating what anyone can safely surmise by reading the talk pages of these cooperating editors about Mae West (Pinkadelica's has just now been archived) which have been read by me and several of my office colleagues with amazement. How do you feel as one of Misplaced Pages's experienced administrators, about the current look of the Mae West article as adjusted since admin Kingturtle wrote on the Discussion page there? The editor Wilhardlivie has just added no less that 78 "citation needed" notes throughout the text, if my quick count is correct. What does this tell a newcomer about English Misplaced Pages (compare e. g. sv:Mae West) when looking for information about one of America's best known entertainers? When Wildhartlivie just now changed my "Through her world famous sense of humor, Mae West has become one of the most legendary of all American entertainment personalities" to remove the sense of humor, she removed the whole point of that author's book (the one the reference goes to). And why is "References" OK as a heading for every other article I've seen, but W won't have it here, insisting on "Notes" alone? If I am wrong about some negative personal editing and exaggerated policing of this article, I sincerely apologize. We cannot help continung to react naturally to what the evidence strongly suggests. Don't 78 "citation needed" tags constitute some form of graffiti? I would certainly never dare do such a thing, even if I got such a wild idea. EmilEikS (talk) 05:43, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

For some reason, this continues to be made a personal issue, which all began over the last weekend because I removed a US flag icon from the West page. Please see Talk:Mae West#Flag Restricted - No Way for Mae?, User talk:Fiandonca, User talk:EmilEikS, and Misplaced Pages talk:Manual of Style (icons)#Do not use flags to indicate locations of birth and death???????????. In trying in good faith to bring the article to a well referenced state and reduce POV, the opposition has been ferocious to even minimal issues. I object quite strenuously, once again, to the personal attacks by this editor. So I monitor my watchlist and address issues I see. I object to the statements above about "watching it like a hawk" and trying to control the content 100%. An article full of unsupported facts is going to get tagged, there is nothing personal involved. I was even attacked for bothering to be about the only WP editor who bothered to answer inquiries on the talk page. Enough personal attacks. That I work well and discuss articles and issues with a handful of other good editors who are also interested in this genre of biographies is the ideal, and it certainly doesn't indicate some sort of personal agenda.

As was requested, facts and quotes needing citations (including statements about box office failures/hits, references to convictions, pen names, claims about things done, felt or stated, blanket statements about controversy, etc. etc.) were added and some POV comments edited. It is unproductive to compare this article with one on another WP version. That copious references are needed is an issue with the article's sourcing. Finally, I've twice corrected the section title "References & Notes" as not in accordance with MOS. Working cooperatively with other editors to bring articles to a quality standard is the fundamental purpose of Misplaced Pages. It is not wrong, nor is it objectionable. Stop making it personal Emil. Removing templates and fact tags/citations need tags doesn't improve the quality and verifiability of the article. Adding adequate sourcing does. As it states below the edit window, "If you don't want your writing to be edited mercilessly...do not submit it. I apologize that it has spilled over to your talk page, Howcheng. I simply don't care to let such allegations go unanswered. It is also unproductive to cross-post the same messages to various administrator pages. Wildhartlivie (talk) 06:29, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

There is some confusion about who "submitted writing" to be "edited mercilessly" here. My contributions to this article have been miniscule and very recent. What I have reacted to is how much contentiousness and argument and radical revision there has been since it was first entered almost six years ago, and particularly several of my associates and I think it is sad that an article about one of America's most appreciated entertainment people still today is found in this embarrassing shape when looked up on English Misplaced Pages. I'm sure thousands, including potential donors, have been surprised and disappointed over the years by that fact. It is my experience that too much fighting over something keeps it from ever getting fixed. I won't be fighting anymore about this one, just hoping to see something finished and nice looking soon. EmilEikS (talk) 10:43, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

One of the things I do not do on Misplaced Pages is play referee. Emil, as you are a relatively new editor here, you should heed the words of more experienced users and assume that everyone is working in the best interest of the encyclopedia, not that anyone is out to "get you" or anything like that. If you have content disputes that cannot be resolved amicably, I suggest you head to Misplaced Pages:Dispute resolution. I specialize in image copyrights and conformance with the non-free criteria rules -- I don't do editorial disputes. Sorry. howcheng {chat} 16:58, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

Sabotage of Some of My Articles

Please see recent edits to Wild Side Story and Jacob Truedson Demitz. The latter edit (his page), at least, constitutes vandalism does it not? And can be assumed to be some sort of personal retaliation? The templates there include obviously false claims and seem to have been entered just to embarass me. . If I revert this, there will probably be another endless argument. The same editor put a false "Personal attack" blockage warning on my talk page right after my first objection to some of the edits made. Please help! At least tell me how I can report this!

Thanks! The photo had in fact already been uploaded as Image:Oklahoma City temple by Aaron H. Larsen.jpeg and tagged with {{OTRS pending}}. If you want to keep posting the ticket numbers to my talk page that's fine, otherwise the photos should be fairly easy for you to find. Thanks again! —Remember the dot 00:44, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:EdwinCJohnson2.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:EdwinCJohnson2.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Misplaced Pages uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Misplaced Pages.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Misplaced Pages:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 08:09, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

Six-Day War

I've reverted your addition to that article, because I think it's given undue weight. Don't you think would belong in David Rubinger? -- Nudve (talk) 17:41, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

I'm writing the Rubinger article now and will have even more detail about the photo in there, but Six-Day War needs that passage in order to satisfy WP:NFCC, especially #8, which specifies that the image be required for reader comprehension of the text. Since there is no mention of the photo anywhere in the article, it doesn't really satisfy the policy. Does that make sense? howcheng {chat} 18:02, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

Howard, even with what you have added, the photo should be next to the section discussing it, not miles away in a display-style showcase. Jheald (talk) 19:27, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

I've commented about this at my talk page, in case you (Howcheng) missed it. Anyway, if it's that big a problem, perhaps this section can simply be places as the infobox's caption? -- Nudve (talk) 19:31, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

We should probably move this to Talk:Six-Day War. howcheng {chat} 19:33, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

Text permission

Hi. I'm wondering about your removal of the process for handling text clearance from "When permission is confirmed" at Misplaced Pages:Requesting copyright permission. Are you planning to create a separate section? With your changes, contributors no longer have instructions for where to mail the permission for text or directions for noting the permission at the article's talk page. --Moonriddengirl 18:33, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

Duh, I work with almost exclusively with images all the time, so I forgot about the article stuff. Added now. howcheng {chat} 18:45, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

I have not heard back yet and in the meantime, a bot deleted the image, well before the December 12/08 deadline. I undid the deletion, but wish to get this issue resolved as soon as possible.

Template syntax

Hi Howcheng,

I recently revised the syntax of Template:ifd2 and Template:idw to avoid the use of the misleading Image: prefix in deletion section headers. Then I noticed that your deletion script was having problems with Template:idw because of these changes. I didn't want to step on your toes, but I really didn't want things to break, so I edited User:Howcheng/quickimgdelete.js to at least work with the new syntax.

If all goes well we should be able to change the syntax of the PUI templates too, so that they match the IFD templates for the benefit of scripts like yours. I'm sorry for the trouble... —Remember the dot 01:14, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Minimal use

Regarding your comment here , the argument is that 'minimal use' refers to it being displayed only once per article, not how many times it is used in Misplaced Pages. I'm not commenting on the strength/weakness of that argument, just that is what I've read from the RfC page. maclean 23:41, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

File:Falwellhustler.jpg

Please forgive the intrusion, but replacing the content of the ad itself in text form amounts to the same necessity for fair use claim. Except the presentation and value of the article is compromised. You've previously discussed the importance of limiting fair use claims to iconic images specifically discussed and referenced in multiple media. The concept here is that it is the ad itself and not the text that is the satirical work. If you separate the text from the mocking visual arrangement of the interview as a cheesy advertisement, then you are clearly ignoring the point of discussing such satire. (As an example I'd like to reference File:Study after Velazquez's Portrait of Pope Innocent X.jpg, or File:Campbells Soup Cans MOMA reduced 80%.jpg - while these are drastically different scenarios, they emphasize the importance of artistic mimicry as being essential to the art/commentary as a whole).

I think this image more than satisfies each and every criteria for fair use and I urge you to reconsider your closure.

Regards, ˉˉ╦╩ 10:43, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

I'm going to have to disagree. The so-called interview is what makes the ad effective. Without the text, it's just a photo of Falwell and the alcohol. Was the ad really central to the lawsuit, however? If we had an article about the case, I think the ad is justified there. howcheng {chat} 19:40, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

Duh, I'm really dense. Let me mull on this a bit more. howcheng {chat} 21:55, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

The case did indeed make specific reference to Falwell's likeness being featured in the ad. In the majority decision the justices discussed the appearance of an ad being a parody of a series of similarly formatted ads run by Campari at the time. It was decidedly the wry style in which the libelous statements were presented that saved Hustler from liability.

Anyway, I hope you had a good holiday season and have had some time to mull over the decision. Regards, ˉˉ╦╩ 18:49, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

Your note

All the copyright info is clearly indicated on the image page. As stated, it came from here, and its copyright info is here (the Flickr page has a link that reads "some rights reserved). If you are still not satisfied, let me know. Cheers. – ClockworkSoul 19:26, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

It's Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-ShareAlike (CC-BY-NC-SA) on the Flickr page. Unfortunately, we can't use noncommercial licensing here. howcheng {chat} 19:37, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

That makes sense. I was confused because the tag you used states that "the information on source or copyright status is disputed", which isn't true because the copyright status itself is clearly and correctly stated, but its particular flavor of copyright is one that we no longer accept. – ClockworkSoul 03:29, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

Help please!

Hi, I've been given your name as a contact to help with the following image: http://en.wikipedia.org/File:Goreneo.png . It's fairly essential to the article (it illustrates the design, style and colours of the toy line in question) but it has been attacked numerous times by someone called MBisanz who persistently tries to delete it on the grounds that the license is wrong (without saying what can be done to help). Would you kindly check over the image and let me know how I can fix it? Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by I Am The Namer (talk • contribs) 19:11, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Under U.S. copyright law (as well as many other countries), toys are considered to be copyrighted items, so any photo of a toy, even if you take it yourself, is non-free by definition (see Commons:Derivative works). You have to use both the {{GFDL}} and {{non-free 3D art}} templates and supply a fair use rationale. Usage of non-free images is strictly governed by the non-free content policy. Hope that helps! howcheng {chat} 19:15, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

If you don't want your content to be edited mercilessly, I suggest you don't add it. I have removed the link to your site, as we don't need to have the advertising in the article itself. As your business appears like it might be notable for being one of the original O'Mahony diners, you might consider creating an article for it (like White Manna).
