Image Licenses Help

I was going to upload pictures of the Iowa districts for the Iowa Senate and Iowa House of Representatives from their official website what image tag do i need to use? Mr. Z-man referred me to you for help Ctjf83 00:20, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

I spoke to MrZMan on IRC this afternoon. However, I did see this page saying some of the information is under some form of copyright. However, there might be a way I can personally make public domain maps. I need some time to figure it out. User:Zscout370 02:05, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

ok, i also e-mailed them to see if it is copyright or not, and if it is, if they will give me permission to use it..i'll keep you up to date though Ctjf83 02:22, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Keep in mind that when asking for permission for images, keep in mind of what is at Misplaced Pages:Requesting_copyright_permission#For_images. User:Zscout370 02:27, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

I haven't got any response yet, do you wanna see if you can remake both of those maps for me? Ctjf83 00:08, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Protection of article

Hello! I hope you well. I agree that moving names form one to another is not very good practice as was done in Żeligowski's Mutiny. However I have question regrading protection - I did not find any public request and motives on Misplaced Pages:Requests for page protection including its history. Could you please clarify there was placed public request for this protection. I interested in this, because I witnessed many wars and then asking for protection they usually decline, so if I see how request motive was formulated it would help me in the future. I look forward hearing from you, M.K. (talk) 15:11, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

There wasn't a public or private request; it was on my own initiative. All I ask for the movers to do is fill a move request and that will be be fine. People can still edit the article, since it is only protected for moves. User:Zscout370 18:31, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply, but I was interested that is the "amount" of reverts which results protection. Could you share your experience in this field? Or there are no define amount? Because when I see reverts I hesitate to report, because I unaware if it is enough to lay protection. If you could share your thoughts about it I would be very grateful. Thanks, M.K.

Vector-Images.com copyright problems

Zach, could you do me a favor and look at Commons:Deletion requests/Image:Escudo de Gales.png? I also left a note on Template talk:Vector-Images.com. I saw that you were involved in prior discussion on that page. -- I. Pankonin (t/c) 03:22, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

I saw the note at the Commons, since I also admin there. Anyways, we will keep the SVG image and most likely get rid of the PNG image due to SVG being preferred over PNG in many ways. User:Zscout370 07:21, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Flag of japan.. Important!

...the whole early history bit is unreferenced; so much so that it would be an automatic fail to GA. Where did all that info come from?? Alos check the whole article for similar strecthes of unreferenced info; i didn't look... Ling.Nut (talk) 04:02, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

The only thing that I personally worked on was from "The earliest recorded Japanese flag in Japan occurred during the unification period." on down. I have no idea where the other information came from or who wrote them. However, I have final exam next week, so my time working on this will be sketchy. However, everything else has been cited heavily, since I have actively worked on those myself. User:Zscout370 07:19, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

I removed it, pending verification and sources. User:Zscout370 07:24, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

see my comments

here Ling.Nut (talk) 16:28, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

While I am glad that you wish to keep the article at its' GA status, I wonder what other concerns you have with the article. User:Zscout370 17:42, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Belarusian Republican Youth Union

Belarusian Republican Youth Union has been nominated for a featured article review. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. Please leave your comments and help us to return the article to featured quality. If concerns are not addressed during the review period, articles are moved onto the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Remove" the article from featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. Reviewers' concerns are here. – Ilse@ 01:23, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Seems to be withdrawn, but will work on whatever someone put on there. User:Zscout370 04:25, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Matt Furey (continued)

Original convo: User_talk:Zscout370/Archive_8#Matt_Furey I'm posting on main talk page because I wasn't sure if it was proper to respond by editing an archived convo once it was archived.

Do you know if there is a way to retrieve the original content prior to your deletion? It seems the article has been recreated twice by other persons in very bad taste, I think the original form from April would be the closest to a good article foundation. If that can be retrieved, than prior to making an article I could perhaps go over the problems of non-notability that caused its deletion in the first place and attempt to settle that before recreation. Tyciol (talk) 11:38, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

I checked and there were more deletions after mine. If you can give me a few days, I will think about seeing if the article could be restored at all. However, I express doubt that I will find anything that will pass our requirements for notability. User:Zscout370 16:34, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

Actually, from looking back at the article, I will not restore it and there is nothing to salvage. However, your method of asking me here instead of an archive is a pretty good method to use. User:Zscout370 03:11, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

re. Flag of Singapore

OK, thanks for clearing that up etc. — Dihydrogen Monoxide 04:56, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Doran

Suggestion: Given that Carolyn Doran is likely to be a contentious subject, it should probably be taken to WP:AN. Let's try and pre-empt a wheel war here. Ral315 (talk) 06:31, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

It already has been; people on the article talk page said not to delete the article. I follow their suggestions. User:Zscout370 06:35, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

Arbcom decision? Risker (talk) 19:31, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

Badlydrawnjeff's decision; where any article that is deleted with the reason of BLP, it must never be restored until consensus is made. User:Zscout370 20:00, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
