I have nominated Paul Kane for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Delist" the article's featured status.

{{ImageNote}}

Hi Lupo, how much do you know about {{ImageNote}}? I'm asking because you edited the template on Misplaced Pages before, but it doesn't seem to be working here. Comparing the code of the template with that on Commons, the and tags are used differently. I'm wondering if that's why it's not working. But there's also an extra line of code

{{#ifeq:{{{id|{{{1}}}}}}|1|<!-- -->{{Iffile|1={{ImageNote/header}}}}<!-- -->}}

I'm not sure what it does, but maybe it needs to be added. The page is protected at the moment because it's used by a gadget (I don't know which one), so I was hoping someone else might know how to make it work. Nev1 (talk) 23:02, 23 April 2014 (UTC)

1. The added stuff you quoted above, which is present at the Commons, is just about template documentation.
2. The template is not intended to be used manually.
3. It's used by the ImageAnnotator gadget that was never enabled here. It was installed once for evaluation purposes.

Lupo 07:27, 24 April 2014 (UTC)

I manually added an annotation to a file on Misplaced Pages by copying the wikicode from Commons. If I changed the noinclude/includeonly tags, would it start working? Nev1 (talk) 17:13, 24 April 2014 (UTC)

I don't think so, even if the gadget were enabled. For files that actually reside at the Commons, the gadget uses the descriptions defined at the Commons. You don't have to copy them over. If you had chosen a file that existed locally and enabled the gadget, then it should work. However, you could then also use the gadget to add the note in the first place. (The gadget would basically make an identical edit.) If you want to play with that gadget, please read the help pages here and at the Commons. (I hope it still works here; I haven't updated the installation here in a long time.) Lupo 22:17, 24 April 2014 (UTC)

In fact, I just tried, and of course it didn't work anymore here. I've updated it now, and it works again. If you enable the gadget in your user.js, you should see image notes at File:Spelterini Blüemlisalp.jpg and also at File:MacLellan's Castle 20080422 - entrance.jpg. And apparently I misremembered about local notes. The gadget does take the note from the local file description page. Frankly said, I'm not sure if this is a bug... I thought it would take those from the Commons. Lupo 22:37, 24 April 2014 (UTC)

It is a bug. Since the gadget does not allow adding notes for remote files, it should also ignore any notes on a local description page of a remote file and should only take those from the remote description. Lupo 08:50, 25 April 2014 (UTC)

Lonzo content

This is my own work, which I uploaded it myself from the photo album.......... And thats my account on that page you linked, like where it comes from.... I have every proof... thank you... — Preceding unsigned comment added by OGmuthafkkinDoc (talk • contribs) 12:27, 5 May 2014 (UTC)

I presume this is about c:File:The Word Class Wreckin' Cru on tour in 1988..jpg. First, complain at the Commons about image deletions that happen at the Commons. Second, the link I gave is just some fanpix site; that just shows that it's copied from the Internet, it doesn't say that site had any rights to that image. Third, if you can prove that you are the photographer of that picture, send your proof via OTRS. Lupo 12:53, 5 May 2014 (UTC)

Winter service vehicle-tehran.jpg

Hello dear Lupo. Please to see you. I suppose something wrong's been happened. the picture Winter service vehicle-tehran.jpg is already taken by me so I'm its owner. The speedy deletion tag must be removed from my work. Thanks. Milad Mosapoor 09:57, 08 May 2014 (UTC)

Nonsense. That was an image already published, and it showed a snow blower at Whistler Mountain, not Teheran. The image came from , photo: Mitch Winton / coastphoto.com. Lupo 04:34, 9 May 2014 (UTC)

Capitan Swan Puzzle (presented within KLM Airline for children).jpg

Hi again, I also added a new trademark tag for the image about the KLM puzzle. Milad Mosapoor 10:08, 08 May 2014 (UTC)

It's got nothing to do with trademarks. The image shown by that puzzle itself is copyrighted and even bears a copyright mark. So a photo of that puzzle can be published under a free license only if the copyright holder formally agrees. Lupo 04:31, 9 May 2014 (UTC)

Mawejjederrick's uploads

Mr Lupo i wanted to discuss with you a bout the issues concerning copy right, because all the images i upload on artcles like one for Radababa article are under CC BY-SA 3.0, so i wish they are not deleted because they provide a clear description of the an article — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mawejjederrick (talk • contribs) 10:16, 12 May 2014 (UTC)

This is about c:Special:Log/Mawejjederrick. You upload images taken from any number of websites. None of these web sites indicate any free license for these images. In general, images you can find on the Internet are all copyrighted, all rights reserved, unless there is an explicit mention of a free license. See c:COM:NETCOPYRIGHT. Lupo 10:29, 12 May 2014 (UTC)

Why are my uploads flagged and others on the same page aren't?

Mr Lupo, why does my picture keep getting flagged but the others of games get to stay? Holland9 (talk) 14:54, 23 June 2014 (UTC)

Which others? Point me to them, and I'll take them down, too, if they are copyright violations. Lupo 15:33, 23 June 2014 (UTC)

User:Eagman1/Jan Estrada

Sorry to bring up something after so long, but did you conclude that this Villa player is a hoax or fantasy? Rankersbo (talk) 07:02, 18 July 2014 (UTC)

Yes. See Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Jan Estrada. Lupo 15:13, 18 July 2014 (UTC)

Thank you very much for your helpless words. Now, I think, the aim could be reached! Alles Gute für Sie von "Prädikat" aus Deutschland. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Prädikat (talk • contribs) 13:57, 7 August 2014 (UTC)

(for bystanders: this is about File:Musiker und Komponist Walter Wachsmuth, Braunschweig 1910.jpg; see commons:User talk:Prädikat) I do hope you meant "helpful". Lupo 14:52, 7 August 2014 (UTC)

Photograph of Fusilier Lee Rigby

With respect to the page Murder of Lee Rigby, The Photograph of Fusilier Lee Rigby has the incorrect copyright attribution and is not a UK Crown Copyright photograph and therefore is not available under the Open Government Licence. — Preceding unsigned comment added by UKMinistryofDefence (talk • contribs) 09:55, 17 July 2015 (UTC)

Maybe so. As one can see at the archived original source, the MOD stated "All content is available under the Open Government Licence, except where otherwise stated", and there was no statement that the image was copyrighted by somebody else. Looks like the MOD has now taken down the image pending a resolution of a copyright claim by a photographer. Further discussions at commons:Commons:Deletion requests/File:Drummer Lee Rigby.jpg.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Misplaced Pages arbitration process.

This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

Proposed deletion of Jack (flag)

The article Jack (flag) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No sources whatsoever, and not enough substantive content to merit being a distinct page from maritime flags.

While all constructive contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
