| Hi Buidhe! I am here to let you (as well as the other FAC coordinators on their talk pages) know that ] and I intend to nominate the ] article for Featured Article status within the next few weeks. After spending some time lurking at WP:FA and WP:FAC though, I notice that this article is lengthier and more complex than most of the articles that are nominated. I think the length is justified: Smith was and remains a very complex and controversial figure. And of course, just being complex and controversial with a long article doesn't necessarily disqualify a topic from FA status (for example, see ]). | |||

I wanted to clarify that PD-US is not a requirement for all images on the Commons; rather it’s one of many legitimate licenses for the Commons. It means that an image has no US copyright restrictions whatsoever. But some restrictions are compatible with use on the Commons and thus other WMF sites, like several Creative Commons licenses. Many Flickr images can be imported for instance despite not being in the public domain, because the person who retains copyright has licensed them for CC reuse. In general problems only arise if the license cited is not accurate to the image; my understanding is that if the Commons offers a license to apply to an image, that’s because the Commons has deemed that license sufficient basis for hosting such images. Hope that’s helpful. CCing {{u|The History Wizard of Cambridge}} who may wish to know. | |||

| :Cheers @], that is very good to know. When @]<nowiki/>told me that all images needed to be PD-US, I was terrified because I very often use the PD-UK-Unknown tag. Because my specialist area is the British Empire in the 20th century, I use this tag quite often. ] (]) 18:29, 6 June 2023 (UTC) | |||
| ::{{u|The History Wizard of Cambridge}} I apologize for what I wrote, which was misleading. CC licensed images are OK (if there is compatible licensing) because they have been freely licensed by the copyright holder. Images that are PD-UK but not PD-US (or freely licensed by the copyright holder) are not okay, certainly not in enwiki, because our servers are located in the US and we have to comply with US copyright law. Admittedly there are some commons users who believe that if an image is PD in one country but not the US it should be allowed on commons unless there is a takedown request, but that does not mean such images are ok to use on enwiki. Similarly, there are a lot of outright copyvios on commons and you may not use those either. (] · ]) ''']''' 18:40, 6 June 2023 (UTC) | |||
| :::@] you're the first editor in my three years of editing wikipedia to tell me I can't use PD-UK-Unknown. Why does the tag even exist on wiki if I can't use it? You must be mistaken, unless you can show me otherwise. ] (]) 18:52, 6 June 2023 (UTC) | |||
| ::::{{u|The History Wizard of Cambridge }} PD-UK-unknown is an acceptable tag, but not by itself; because images must also be PD in the US to be acceptable to use on Misplaced Pages. Examples of relevant tags would be | |||

| == Holocaust in Poland == | |||
| I wanted to raise one point, as I see that you are involved in the re-write of the Holocaust in Poland article. I think that in the Background section it should be mentioned that for a time Poland was a shelter to Jews who were being persecuted and expelled from other parts of Europe. I raise this issue not to sugar-coat the history of Jews in Poland, but this was a legitimate reason why so many Jews ended up in Poland by the end of the middle-ages, eventually leading to the later events of the 20th century. However, I don't want to jump in and start re-writing the section and instead allow others to clean up the text first, but I do think this fact explains why such an exodus from western Europe to Poland happened in the first place, and there are numerous sources which cover this topic. ] (]) 17:37, 6 June 2023 (UTC) | |||
| :{{u|E-960}} While I'm not necessarily opposed to including such content, one must also consider balance; most of the sources specifically about the Holocaust in Poland that cover background information focus on the interwar period, so that should receive more wp:weight. Also, also suggests also that these migrations had multiple causes including economic reasons. (] · ]) ''']''' 18:44, 6 June 2023 (UTC) | |||

| I don't think that this AFD discussion was a good candidate for a NAC closure. Opinion was divided and it could have been closed as "No consensus". I realize that you are an experienced editor but in the future, try to pick AFD discussions to close that don't seem like they might be contested, where it is obvious what the closure should be. This seems like a close call to me.

Your addition to World War II Talk
Hello there
Please note that The World War II Talk page "is not a forum for general discussion of the article's subject." it is not a place to discuss editors' opinions on new books about WWII. If you have a suggestion for a specific addition to the article please provide it with appropriate sources. Aemilius Adolphin (talk) 11:00, 30 December 2024 (UTC)
- Aemilius Adolphin Your overzealous attempt to unilaterally police the talk page are in fact likely to be considered edit warring, if reported. If it's controversial or other editors disagree, you should not be removing others' comments on talk pages. I am asking you to self revert. (t · c) buidhe 22:10, 30 December 2024 (UTC)
- You are right that I was overzealous in reverting your contribution to the talk page. I apologise for this. However, if you start a Talk topic called "Interesting new book" and then ask people to comment on a summary of this book you shouldn't be surprised if someone thinks you are inviting other editors to enter into a general debate about this book. It would have been better to start a topic called something like: "Estimates of Civilian Deaths" and then propose a change to the info box based on cited page numbers of this book. Also the question you posed is already canvassed in the article so it appeared to me that you hadn't even read the article. Nevertheless I should have answered you question on your Talk page or on the article Talk page as I have now done. Again I apologise for not taking your question seriously. I hope you have a great new year and that I wake up less cranky than I was. Aemilius Adolphin (talk) 22:45, 30 December 2024 (UTC)
