| ] ] | |||
| Is Norfolk Island considered part of Australia for copyright purposes? I have been advised that the image of the Norfolk Island stamp at right, which I uploaded yonks ago and is used at ], will probably be zapped because it apparently has the wrong licensing. | |||
| So I had a look around at other Aussie stamps, and see which shows the image of the queen stamp also seen here. | |||
| Commons licensing is a mystery to me (and I suspect many, many other Wikipedians). If Norfolk Island '''is''' part of Oz re copyright, then I should be able to use the same licensing as is used for the queen's coronation image. Yes? No? ] (]) 00:08, 9 September 2012 (UTC) | |||
| :Most a mystery to me too, but NI stamp was issued in 1980 and is copyright of Norfolk Island Post Office; The 1953 stamp (once copyright of forerunner of Australia Post) dates from more 50 years before 2005 and is thus out of copyright. Suspect that neither Australia Post or NI Post would be too concerned with images of their recent stamps being used on Misplaced Pages (and would probably welcome it) but what licensing would be required I don't know. I will add scans of pre-1955 NI stamps as soon as I get around to it. Most Aussie from that period I have done. ] (]) 10:53, 9 September 2012 (UTC) | |||
| ::I'm not a lawyer, but it it appears that the Australian Copyright Act applies to Norfolk Island: (under section 18 of the it appears that Australian laws apply to Norfolk where this is explicitly stated in in the relevant act, which appears to be the case here). ] (]) 11:24, 9 September 2012 (UTC) | |||
| :::but Australian or NI law is irrelevant. USA law is all that matters. ] (]) 13:58, 9 September 2012 (UTC) | |||
| ::::Not true I suspect. Surely if the uploader can be identified and lives in the country whose copyright is affected, they could be prosecuted even if the offending image is hosted elsewhere. What that country cannot do, IIRC is tell Misplaced Pages (which is hosted in the US) to take it down. --] (]) 20:38, 9 September 2012 (UTC) | |||
| ::::read recent discussions here, PUF discussions linked from my talk page and ]. If it isn't Public Domain in the States they don't care about the status in the actual country of origin. 1955 means nothing, 1946 is the key date. Of course the chances that it will ever be tested in an actual court is microscopic, but the self appointed image wikilawyers will eventually hunt down your 1950 published images and banish them forever! U. S. A., U. S. A. Come on everyone, join in the chant. ] (]) 23:01, 9 September 2012 (UTC) | |||

| :Yes, I think the recent move(s) need to be reverted. It's not made explicit at ], but ] clearly shows the convention. ]] (]) 10:54, 9 September 2012 (UTC) | |||
| :However, I notice many lists have been moved, and not just Australian ones. It would be better to post a note at ], and ask for the convention to be made explicit. ]] (]) 10:57, 9 September 2012 (UTC) | |||
| ::The Wiki convention (]) is that landforms are "XXX of Foo" wheareas e.g. man-made objects are "XXX in Foo". I have to say the former sounds a little stilted to me - I'm not sure why we don't always use "in". But I'm sure there's a logic somewhere...it just isn't explained at the convention page AFAICS. --] (]) 20:33, 9 September 2012 (UTC) | |||
| :::Grammar; if something is intrinsically a ''part of'' or defined thus as a social construct, we shall use '''of''' (Rivers of..., Politicians of...); if something may be taken out of, or reasonably exist somewhere else, we use '''in''' (Crime in..., Outdoor dunnies in...). As a rule-of-thumb, if ''belonging to'' sounds reasonable use '''of'''. if not, use '''in'''. Sometimes, local colloquialism is at variance which may explain the edits of the contributor discussed above. ] (]) 10:16, 10 September 2012 (UTC) | |||

Good article reassessment for Melbourne Airport
Melbourne Airport has been nominated for a good article reassessment. If you are interested in the discussion, please participate by adding your comments to the reassessment page. If concerns are not addressed during the review period, the good article status may be removed from the article. Z1720 (talk) 17:30, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
Should National Socialist Network rallies be included in Mount Warning and Corowa articles?
Editors are invited to comment at Talk:Mount_Warning#historical_irrelevance and Talk:Corowa#If_the_rally_is_historically_insignificant_why_was_it_all_over_the_news_for_weeks_then? as to whether or not to include the National Socialist Network rallies in those articles. Mitch Ames (talk) 02:05, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
- Sorry but I dont think a lack of "historical relevance" is a sound argument for or against the inclusion of events that otherwise meet the WP:GNG and are readily verifiable because of WP:CRYSTAL. We also need to be careful about WP:NPOV if we arent telling the whole story. See my comments at the Mount Warning talk page discussion. Dfadden (talk) 12:19, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
