== Re-VibhintaVerma.jpg image Problem ==


Hi, The vibhinta verma image has not yet published anywhere online, It is perfectly safe to use it on Misplaced Pages. There will be no copyright issue at all. and there will be no problem in future regarding copyright. ]


== Invitation to participate in a research ==
== Steve Hodges ==


Hello,
Hi, Steve Hodges gave permission for his official photo to be used on Misplaced Pages the day before the election. He lost the special election for congress so I doubt that we will have a photo of him available again. The note that he gave his permission to use the photo was in the boxes under the photo and on the talk page. without the one picture of him, the special congressional election for MO_08 at Misplaced Pages looks very biased for the man elected. I admit that I have trouble trolling through the wp jargon and do not understand all the image permissions, but it seems that to keep the unbiased nature of wp and because he sent written permission, the photo of Steve Hodges for Congress 2013 should be returned to Misplaced Pages, but by somebody with a greater understanding of wp permissions...like you perhaps. thank you!

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.
Hi. I added a picture of many Thessaloniki landmarks but it was changed again. I think this high resolution picture that shows 6 Thessaloniki landmarks is much better than just the White Tower.

Could you please tell me how to not violate the copywriter policy because I am new to Misplaced Pages and want to add images to visually improve articles. I tried uploaded several images like Malik al-Ashtar's grave.jpg ‎but it got deleted for copywriter issues. Thanks

== Article Feedback Tool update ==

Hey Future Perfect at Sunrise. I'm contacting you because you're involved in the ] in some way, either as a previous newsletter recipient or as an active user of the system. As you might have heard, a user recently anonymously disabled the feedback tool on 2,000 pages. We were unable to track or prevent this due to the lack of logging feature in AFT5. We're deeply sorry for this, as we know that quite a few users found the software very useful, and were using it on their articles.


== Reverts ==
We've now re-released the software, with the addition of a logging feature and restrictions on the ability to disable. Obviously, we're not going to automatically re-enable it on each article—we don't want to create a situation where it was enabled by users who have now moved on, and feedback would sit there unattended—but if you're interested in enabling it for your articles, it's pretty simple to do. Just go to the article you want to enable it on, click the "request feedback" link in the toolbox in the sidebar, and AFT5 will be enabled for that article.

There was a discussion about this upload ]. I had thought consensus was pretty clear that this was an iconic image the object of discussion itself in the text. Discussion of the image itself is multiply documented: I gave several citations in the discussion and two in the article.

::: About the closure: when deleting images based on these kinds of discussions, I often rely on a bot doing an automatic closure on registering the deletion, in cases where I consider the outcome more or less self-evident from the gist of the discussion. Perhaps in this case that was a bit too optimistic; in any case, seeing that the motivation of the closure was evidently not obvious to you, I considered it better to leave an explicit closure note now. Sorry for not doing that right away. As for the issue of the image being "robotic", I don't see that you raised that as an argument in the discussion, but I actually don't think the comparison holds. The taking of the Bolt picture was evidently carefully planned; whatever "automatic" or "robotic" elements were involved in it were clearly under the tight intentional control of the human who set them up. That was not the case in the ape pics you compared them with, where the apes did things with the camera that its owner had very much not intentionally planned or arranged, or even anticipated. As for the question of the image being the object of discussion, please refer to the judgments expressed by those editors who participated in the thread. ] ] 15:18, 7 September 2013 (UTC)
