Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 07:34, 24 May 2006

I am an Austin-based art photographer and writer. See my website stevehopson.com for more information about me and to see my photographs.

Awesome

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, for uploading the picture of the UT Tower under GFDL. This will definitely improve our articles on these topics. Hook 'em! Johntex\ 04:30, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

And it looks like this gives you a way to mention your website on Misplaced Pages to boot :-) (I looked at your Talk page history). I don't think anyone will this method of working it in. As a matter of fact, I've already visited your web page. You have some very nice shots there. I would potentially be interested in a nice enlargement of this shot of the tower, but I didn't see it offered for sale there... Johntex\ 04:43, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Deep Eddy Pool

Steve, the Deep Eddy Pool article you've recently created is incredibly well written. And the corresponding photo was well taken. Thanks! jareha 04:37, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for editing Weezy and the Swish ...

Category:Art photographers: Why?

Hello. Would you mind taking a look at the talk page of this category that you created? Please reply there rather than here or on my talk page. Thanks. -- Hoary 12:57, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Edie Brickell

Hello, my understanding was that the albums listed on Edie's page were her solo albums. The ones that she worked on with the New Bohemians are listed on its page. Do you think the groups albums need to be also listed on her page? Mrand 16:53, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

• My thought was that she's known more for her work with the New Bohemians than her solo work. However, I'm willing to yield to the majority opinion. SteveHopson 19:08, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:SophiaLorenArabesque.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:SophiaLorenArabesque.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 Misplaced Pages (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 Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Misplaced Pages: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 Misplaced Pages 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 13:16, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

• Point well taken. The photo was taken by myself from a 16mm print of the film. I have updated the source info on the photo and will document the other photos that I have similarly taken and uploaded. SteveHopson 04:39, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

List of photographers

Good to have more help checking out the notability of photographers listed on this page! In addition to checking these names in Google, would you mind checking names in the Union List of Artist Names and also Library of Congress Authorities? There are some important photographers that aren't represented much on the Internet (especially early or non-Euroamerican photographers) and so wouldn't show up in a Google search. Thanks. (By the way, if you haven't used the Library of Congress site before, it's a little peculiar, so please let me know if you want some tips for working with it). Pinkville 02:03, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

• Thanks for the suggestion and support. Its a tedious process, but in checking just a few letters, I found some rather unnotable people had put themselves on the list. I also found some very interesting photographers who don't yet have Wiki articles. Once I finish my first check of the list, my goal is then to start creating articles for all the ones without entries already. Then (if we can ever complete that step), we can establish the principle that all new additions to the list must have Wiki articles. We follow this principle on the list of notable Austinites in the Austin, Texas article and it helps to weed out the new additions. SteveHopson 02:47, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Sounds good. I created some stub articles from this list for a number of photographers who deserve full articles, but that I didn't have time to complete myself. You can see some examples of these, showing sources, etc. in Hippolyte Arnoux and Félix Bonfils and Christopher Williams (artist). Pinkville 03:06, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
