Image copyright problem with Image:BARIS_Cover.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:BARIS_Cover.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Misplaced Pages because of copyright law (see Misplaced Pages's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Misplaced Pages are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me or ask for help at Misplaced Pages talk:Image copyright tags. Thank you. -- Carnildo 06:22, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

Duplicate images uploaded

Thanks for uploading Image:VoskhodCapsule.gif. A machine-controlled robot account noticed that you uploaded the same image twice: as Image:VoskhodCapsule.gif and also as Image:Voskhod.gif. The latter copy of the file has been marked for speedy deletion since it is redundant. If this sounds okay to you, there is no need for you to take any action.

This is an automated message- you have not upset or annoyed anyone. In the future, you may save yourself some confusion if you supply a meaningful file name and remember exactly which name you chose (file names are case sensitive, including the extension) so that you won't lose track of your uploads. For tips on good file naming, see Misplaced Pages's image use policy. If you have any questions about this notice, or feel that the deletion is inappropriate, please contact User:Staecker, who operates the robot account. Staeckerbot 21:17, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Mprince-c.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Mprince-c.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Misplaced Pages (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 04:26, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Machiavelli: The Prince

Hello, I see you've done a very good job on creating and maintaining Machiavelli: The Prince. However, Misplaced Pages is an encyclopedia and not a game review/guide. Your article isn't written in an encyclopedic tone. Please improve it accordingly. You can see more about the style you should use at Misplaced Pages:Manual of Style. By the way, keep up the good work! - DTRY 18:33, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

P.S. I'm a fan of the game too, although I never won it (can't keep my lead in the long run.)

Army of Darkness

Welcome to Misplaced Pages. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. Misplaced Pages has a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Using different styles throughout the encyclopedia, as you did to , makes it harder to read. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Fair use rationale for Image:Venice Machiavelli.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Venice Machiavelli.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Misplaced Pages constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

your edit to Alexey_Leonov

Hi, why did you add this detail? It's true (per Voskhod 2), but I don't understand how it clarifies Leonov's reentry problems. --Jtir (talk) 22:52, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

--Jtir (talk) 21:47, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Why did I add that Leonov's airlock was inflatable? I was trying to emphasize that the troubles he had getting back into the capsule were likely due to a questionable design. My addition may have been somewhat questionable; I wouldn't be offended if you think the article is better off without it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Peyre (talk • contribs) 18:12, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

OK. Voskhod 2 goes into fascinating detail on this event. The major problem was that "Leonov’s Berkut suit ballooned". Maybe the airlock contributed, but the article, which is sourced, doesn't say so. --Jtir (talk) 21:47, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

"an inflatable airlock just plain sounds dangerous."

Yes, rather like an air mattress.  :-)

From Voskhod 2 it sounds like the design was complex, with redundancy.

I also misremembered -- Leonov went in head-first and then got stuck trying to turn around to close the outside hatch. Fortunately, he didn't need to use his suicide pill. --Jtir (talk) 22:40, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Misplaced Pages pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 22:22, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Buzz_Aldrin's_Race_into_Space

Hello there, I notice that you say that you have written permission from the publishers to use the images in this article. A couple of issues;

• Have you ensured that the copyright holder has given permission to release these under a free licence (either public domain, cc-by, cc-by-sa, or, preferably, GFDL.
• Have you sent confirmation of those permissions to permissions-en@wikimedia.org

Both of these are required to enable use of the images in the article. Thanks, BKNFCC 22:54, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

• • Great, thankyou! Black Kite 17:41, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:BoxCover.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:BoxCover.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Misplaced Pages's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

• That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
• That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

The following images also have this problem:

• Image:DenIniquity.jpg
• Image:BoxCoverM1.jpg

Orphaned non-free media (Image:HardwareUSSR.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:HardwareUSSR.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use.

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Misplaced Pages (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:04, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

Re: BARIS

Hey again!

Hiya Peyre, I noticed you're getting involved in the BARIS article again. I hope you like how it's turned out thus far- if the responses from other people in the video games wikiproject are any indication, it ought to be rated B-class soon. The main place it seems to be lacking though is in the reception section, and I was wondering if you had any more publications that indicate what the critical reception of the game was? Or really any more publications at all... while the BARIS companion turned out to be a life saver, we really need most of the stuff we say to appear in reliable, third-party sources.

Also, where did you find out that the XMS-2 image is based off the Northrop M2-F2? Honestly it looks a bit more like the Northrop M2-F3 to me. —/Mendaliv//_Δ's/ 17:01, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

I'm glad you called me on the M2-F2 comment. It looks like you're right; the M2-F3 has that third fin, which the M2-F2 lacked. I'll update the BARIS entry accordingly. My source on it was an email from Erik Anderson, answering some questions I had about the XMS-2 back in March 2005. He wrote: "He didn't want to call it HL-10 or M2-F2, though in fact we used shots of those lifting bodies." It looks like they used the M2-F3 instead of, or in addition to, the M2-F2. Certainly they used the -F3 for the pictures in the administration screens. Looks like I need to update the alt on my XMS-2 image on The Docking Module, too.

My source indicating the game's critical reception would be the reviews I found on the game, which are linked to from the Links--Reviews box in The Docking Module. I wish I had more for you on that, but those were my main source.Peyre (talk) 21:55, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Speaking of which, those links on The Docking Module have been of immense value in building the article to the point it is at now. We'd be dead in the water without the info from the BARIS Companion to fuel the development section. I'm thinking with the info I plan on digging out of Computer Gaming World (once I make the pilgrimage to my alma mater), it'll be fleshed out a lot better. Same library might have more gaming mags of the era, which might help out, especially with critical reception. Anyhow, things are looking good so far. I suspect we aren't far from a B-class article or maybe better, just gotta fill in those gaps. —/Mendaliv//_Δ's/ 06:10, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Good, I'm glad they were helpful to you. I'm glad to see the progress you're making on the article--that's great that you're putting all this time and effort into the article. BTW, do you have a paper or electronic copy of the Companion?

I was able to dig up an electronic copy of the Companion. Also, wasn't there a 100-some page "historical manual"? I was able to find the regular manual that came with my CD-ROM edition, but I haven't seen anything more substantial. —/Mendaliv//_Δ's/ 19:59, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

I'm not aware of another publication besides the game manual and the Companion. I'm guessing that the "historical manual" you've heard of must be the Companion itself, since over half of it is historical background. But if there is another BARIS manual out there, I'd be very interested in reading it.

Empire of Brazil

Hi! I´ve seen that you corrected quite a few mistakes in the Empire of Brazil article. Could you also take a look in the sections "From Kingdom to Empire", "Imperial Constitution" and "Confederation of Equator" in the article History of the Brazilian Empire? Thank you very much, - --Lecen (talk) 12:41, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

Well, I am the guy who wrote the text... heh heh... I had a lot of work reading so many books to make the text in portuguese. But I thought that the english Misplaced Pages could also enjoy more information regarding the matter. The problem is exactly that: I needed someone who could correct all grammar mistakes. But thanks a lot, you´re helping a lot! - --Lecen (talk) 16:36, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
