Misplaced Pages

Latest revision as of 05:31, 16 December 2024

Hi 842U,

I am not sure if this is the best way to contact you, but I am new to navigating this part of wikipedia. I want to ask for your permission to reproduce the image you contributed for the entry on the Ha-ha Wall. The reproduction is for a piece of academic writing where the wall is an analogy for the different perceptions of a problem by a teacher and a pupil. I have modified the image slightly to increase the distance between the figure and the wall to more effectively impress the idea that the obstruction is not visible from their perspective (further irritating and alienating the pupil in my analogy). If you consent then I would also ask how you would like to be credited in my references.

Cheers, Will

Well I know how tempting it can be to just walk away from an argument, especially one against a stubborn mule -- and sometimes walking away is the right thing to do, but I think the MoS over-reactions in this case merited your continued arguing and hopefully common sense will prevail in the end. So thanks, "on behalf of the project", for not taking the easy way out. Sherurcij 00:19, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Misplaced Pages:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 02:13, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

GA review for Chicken tax

Hi, I placed the article on hold with a major complaint about US-centrism and recentism. I am hoping you will be able to address the issue -- the article is truly fascinating! Renata (talk) 02:57, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

VERY nicely done. I have no argument with that inclusion. It's short, to the point, and proves it's notability. The sponsorships were a good deletion, as well.

Thanx

Hey, thanx for the ‘I Am’ and ‘Art Of Racing In The Rain’ pages, it’s good to see them there.

I also see from his 'talk' page with the Honda Super Cub you've had the same probs with the user Dennis Bratland (talk) that other people have had with him only thinking that own his edits are any good and no-one else's are - talk about ownership issues.

and i notice he's doing it again here – BMW R1100GS (BMW R1100GS) - so maybe for the good of Misplaced Pages we should contribute to this noticeboard discussion. It seems to me he's in the wrong yet again! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.254.173.13 (talk) 10:31, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

Morris Levy

Do you have a source for the edit where you added Cynthia Brooks as a wife of Morris Levy? Or that he divorced her in 1961? 842U (talk) 12:21, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

There are a couple of citations in the article and there are dozens digitally searchable references to Cynthia Brooks (born approximately 1933) marrying and divorcing Morris Levy. But the sources are syndicated columnists, not primary documents, such as marriage license or divorce court indices. One article pre-announced their impending marriage to take place on 15 September 1957 aboard Morris' yacht, off of Long Island; another article stated that Brooks divorced William Dougherty (club owner of Chicago) to marry Levy; another article announced the filing for divorce in April 1959; yet another announced them dating again in 1960. There's also a 1957 article saying that Levy denied the rumor of his impending marriage to Brooks.

Before marrying Levy, Brooks had married and divorced Rudi Maugeri (né Rudolph V Maugeri; born 1931) (vocalist with The Crew-Cuts). They had met in Vegas and married in Chicago. Brooks worked as a chorus girl at the El Rancho Vegas. She also was under contract at 20th Century Fox, appearing in Follow the Sun (1951) and Westward Ho, The Women (1952).

Published gossip columns state that Brooks, in 1958 and 1959, dated Joe E. Lewis and Lance Reventlow.

Brooks appeared in several pinup mags, including Show (January 1956) and Bold (August 1956; back cover); and a few mainstream mags, particularly Life (Every Man's Miss Brooks, March 1957, pg. 51 — photographer: Peter Stackpole).

I have not done much work on Levy. Give me some time to do some digging. — Eurodog (talk) 23:21, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

Ross Bikes

There's no conflict of interest in stating a fact that Ross Bikes is back in business and was re-established in July of 2017. That's verifiable and if you care so much about the accuracy, you can change it to that yourself, because a simple search at RossBikes.com, RossBicycles.com or Nevada LLC search will show you just that. (Boom, no conflict of interest. You just verified it's true) Not having that we're in business is false. I respectfully request you change it back yourself or stop correcting simple edits that aren't sales ad's or stating anything false. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bikeguy1 (talk • contribs) 12:29, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

Hi, I saw your revert. Unless it's technical language appropriate to the subject, in which case fair enough, "originated by" seems incredibly verbose and ugly. Just wondering why it's preferred to the more simple "came from". Ericoides (talk) 19:01, 22 September 2018 (UTC)

I did not know him at all. I saw the PBS special and was moved by it; that's what opened me up to editing the article about him.

Hi 842U! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Opel Cascada that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Misplaced Pages – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. These aren't minor edits. Please don't mark them as minor unless policy and guidelines say they fit under that category. ~Gwennie🐈｟💬 📋｠ 11:21, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions to Misplaced Pages. It appears that you copied or moved text from one or more pages into another page. While you are welcome to re-use Misplaced Pages's content, here or elsewhere, Misplaced Pages's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Misplaced Pages, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from ]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Misplaced Pages:Copying within Misplaced Pages. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 19:57, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

Copyright problem: Oldsmobile

Hello 842U! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as Oldsmobile, but we regretfully cannot accept copyrighted material from other websites or printed works. This article appears to contain work copied from http://www.reolds.org/Newsletters/Mimages/RRmay06.pdf, and therefore to constitute a violation of Misplaced Pages's copyright policies. The copyrighted text has been or will soon be deleted. While we appreciate your contributions, copying content from other websites is unlawful and against Misplaced Pages's copyright policy. Misplaced Pages takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators are likely to lose their editing privileges.

If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under license allowed by Misplaced Pages, then you should do one of the following:

• Have the author release the text under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 License (CC BY-SA 3.0) by leaving a message explaining the details at Talk:Oldsmobile and send an email with confirmation of permission to "permissions-enwikimedia.org". Make sure they quote the exact page name, Oldsmobile, in their email. See Misplaced Pages:Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
• If you hold the copyright to the work: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-enwikimedia.org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 License and GNU Free Documentation License, and note that you have done so on Talk:Oldsmobile. See Misplaced Pages:Donating copyrighted materials for instructions.
• If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted "under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License (CC BY-SA), version 3.0", or that the work is released into the public domain, or if you have strong reason to believe it is, leave a note at Talk:Oldsmobile with a link to where we can find that note or your explanation of why you believe the content is free for reuse.

It may also be necessary for the text to be modified to have an encyclopedic tone and to follow Misplaced Pages article layout. For more information on Misplaced Pages's policies, see Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines.

See Misplaced Pages:Declaration of consent for all enquiries for a template of the permissions letter the copyright holder is expected to send.

Otherwise, you may rewrite this article from scratch. If you would like to begin working on a new version of the article you may do so at this temporary page. Leave a note at Talk:Oldsmobile saying you have done so and an administrator will move the new article into place once the issue is resolved.

Thank you, and please feel welcome to continue contributing to Misplaced Pages. Happy editing! — Diannaa (talk) 13:28, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

Image source problem with File:C&O Canal water gate at the Watergate complex.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:C&O Canal water gate at the Watergate complex.jpg.

This image is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such images would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a screenshot of a computer game or movie. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original image must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work.

While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, so the overall copyright status is unclear. If you did not create the original work depicted in this image, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright.

If you have uploaded other derivative works, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F4 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Misplaced Pages:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 14:11, 10 March 2023 (UTC). If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Minorax 14:11, 10 March 2023 (UTC)

Snark sailboat copyright concerns

Hi, 842U. I reverted your edit on Snark sailboat. I explained why in my edit summary, but I'll put it here as well. While normally, it's completely okay to use limited quotes in references to support hard to verify or contentious material, I can see no justification for quoting nearly all of the webpage. Even if a quote is needed, it should never reproduce the entirety of the source, especially if the source is easily available online. You can read more about this guideline at Misplaced Pages:Do not include the full text of lengthy primary sources.

I didn't quote the entire text, I included the entire text in the citation -- for context and verification. The history of the Snark is somewhat patchy, and its useful to include adequate citations, especially when the sources are old and subject to expiration or deletion. 842U (talk) 17:33, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
