File permission problem with File:Word_carcassonne.jpg

This is a reply to the message posted on User Talk:SGBailey.

As the blurb attached to the image states, I created the image and I gave permission for its use. It was uploaded to permit discussion of a WP problem with a request that it not be deleted until after Feb 2009. The problem has been resolved. The file may be deleted. -- SGBailey (talk) 10:50, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Yes, I just saw that. Too bad; thanks for the heads up. -- Avi (talk) 15:02, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Hi MBisanz,

Thanks for the intro -- a lot of stuff to read and learn!

I have a question regarding the page I created today. Recently, another user added a "needs more citations block" at the time I had 3 citations. Now I have 9. considering the brevity of the article, is it safe to remove that "needs more citations" block?

Aaron.matt83 (talk) 18:51, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

I apologize! Please know it won't happen again. --DanaDBerry (talk) 14:57, 7 July 2009 (UTC)DanaDB —Preceding unsigned comment added by DanaDBerry (talk • contribs)

Hi. I just got a note from you

about something that I'd posted about BAID. It was just for discussion purposes, a chat long since concluded, so feel free to send it to where ever stuff in red ends up. Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 01:44, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

Life is (opinion) supposed to be easy. It's just that us humans are so frequently willing to work so damn hard to make it difficult. Carptrash (talk) 01:48, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

Screenshot of software allowed

Regarding your comment on an image file (http://en.wikipedia.org/File:Basal_control.jpg), I believe your comments are not correct.

The image that I created is a single screenshot from my computer of a software tool by Smiths Medical called CozMonitor. Screen shots are allowable as long as you do not copy so many screens as to basically copy all of the tool. The image I made was based on the one screen shot and was released by me to the public domain.

In addition, Smiths medical is no longer in the business of insulin pumps and supporting software. The have no future interest anyway. The image is still a very good example of how basal insulin delivery is controlled by the insulin pump and is applicable to the overall science.

If the file is tagged inappropriately, please help me fix that. I no longer have the image to upload again and retag. mbbradford 14:55, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

Francine Dee

Hello, why did you speedy delete Francine Dee's listing on 00:13, 1 April 2009?

I searched your contribs for this date and time and do not see anything listed at this time.

Please add this page back. —Preceding unsigned comment added by MorphiousDG (talk • contribs) 23:39, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

It was deleted by User:X! per Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Francine Dee. MBisanz 00:51, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:NC_PlacemarksEditor.png

What is the purpose of this note on my talk page about an image I had uploaded? This is a screenshot from a software that I wrote myself. So I am certainly the copyright holder by any interpretation of the word. Cush (talk) 06:53, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

It didn't say you wrote it, so I couldn't know, thank you for clarifying. MBisanz 07:05, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
It says "The placemarks editor window of my NC Manager software", and you could have first looked at my user page as well. Cush (talk) 10:19, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
And many people over time have thought "I own the CD that cam in the box, so it is mine", also thinking of people who would re-use your image, I've added a note to the image page that you are the creator of the software. MBisanz 18:43, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
I don't know, but I would consider the re-usability of a software screenshot pretty limited. This seems more like a case of overzealous adminship to me... and reading through this talk page somehow confirms my impression... Cush (talk) 20:39, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Substituting surname

Hi. Any idea how you can {{subst: a surname in the page title to DEFAULTSORT sort the categories? Its just I have a large batch of German politicians to transwiki and I want to do it more quickly. So basically when you create the page it automatically places e.g Fritz Baier as Baier, Fritz in the categories. If not I gather there is a bot that can default sort the categories by surname and fix it afterwards? Dr. Blofeld 10:17, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Why are you ignoring me? Dr. Blofeld 20:19, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Star

The Original Barnstar
I noticed you cleared out a lot of old images tagged for deletion last night. Just letting you know it's appreciated. J Milburn (talk) 10:51, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

File:Hermann Rorschach.jpg

Regarding this image that was deleted due to lack of licensing information. I have restored it because the image is is in the public domain as it must have been taken prior to 1922 when Hermann Rorschach died. I have added clarification to the image page explaining this. I assume this is a non-controversial undeletion. Thanks you all your hard work with clearing the images speedies. Chillum 12:58, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Sounds good. Thanks. MBisanz 18:40, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

File:HoL 4 Wiki.jpg

Not clear what you mean about this image. I uploaded it, sourced it and it's a screenshot which I made of my website. Can you help as to where I've indicated it's sourced from someone other then me. Thanks. hjuk (talk) 18:38, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

The issue is that we can't figure it out the context (that you own the site), simply from your upload. I've added an information template given the next ownership details. MBisanz 18:42, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Ok, thanks. Do I need to do anything else to tidy up loose ends? hjuk (talk) 21:36, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

File:Aurora_(software).png

Yeah, I created it. It was a screenshot of my desktop actually. Here's some proof:

Please don't delete it again now that it's been properly licensed, lol.. Rocknroll714 (talk) 19:25, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

RocketDock (the "Mac" dock) is open-source and licensed under GPL; hence, any screenshots taken with it present should be perfectly fine. Additionally, the wallpaper, icons, and windows theme were also all freely released by various sources as well by with no rights reserved. For these reasons, I'd rather not have to crop it unless absolutely necessary, especially since I think it gives the image some nice aesthetic quality and demonstrates how the software can run on Windows XP (notably, there are other screenshots on Misplaced Pages showing the full Windows XP interface as well; hence, again, should be just fine) Rocknroll714 (talk) 19:32, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
Sure, go right on ahead, unless both can be used that is. Also, Aurora itself is also licensed under GPL (I was its creator) Rocknroll714 (talk) 19:36, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
No problem Rocknroll714 (talk) 19:43, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Bots

I see. Know anybody who could run a bot to transfer missing articles on Czech municipalities from Czech wiki? KotBot is on holiday. Dr. Blofeld 20:22, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

File:Amstrad PCW 16 01.png

You've flagged this file for deletion. I don't understand the poorly-stated grounds or what to do about it - as usual with most issues to do with images, the info provided is totally unhelpful and the UI is appalling - no links at all to anything helpful. Since you appear to have raised the objection, I expect you to help in resolving it. --Philcha (talk) 20:49, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the info, but why could you not have provided it up-front? --Philcha (talk) 21:00, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
Your "I need to fulfill ever letter of the process and not be vague in any way, using a template that is community-approved seems like the best way to do that" is incorrect - it did not give me the info I needed to save the img. -21:22, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

ACPD pages created

I've created two initial pages for the ACPD:

Please add them to your watchlist, stop by, and so forth. The latter page has a couple of logistical issues that we should discuss sooner rather than later, so I'd appreciate if you could find some time to comment on them.

Thanks! Kirill  13:33, 11 July 2009 (UTC)


Re: your message on my talk page

The image in question, was a screen shot I took in Dec. 2008. I have sent an email to permissions@wikipedia.org (or what ever it is) authorizing the image to be used. I have seen several other screenshots using the same copyright tag as mine, so I didn't tink there was a problem. Please let me know why exactly, you posted the tag on that image. Thanks.

RE: Gamma Alpha Lambda

I'm not sure why the entry of Gamma Alpha Lambda was deleted. It is a national organization with 4 chapters. Please reference www.gammaalphalambda.com to confirm this and undelete the article or provide the reasons why, thanks. Gal3130 (talk) 05:21, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

See Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Gamma Alpha Lambda. MBisanz 05:22, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
I am sorry, but I cannot undelete it, please see Deletion review. MBisanz 05:28, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

A deletion review has been filed as this is a notable (and non-Greek may I add) sorority with national status... Gal3130 (talk) 05:54, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

Puzzled

Talk:Roero was deleted a couple of days ago ‘per CSD G7, the only editor who provided substantial content blanked the page.’

I then (as I recall) re-created it, with {{WPItaly}}, only to see that you deleted that page on the same basis this morning. I am pretty sure I didn’t blank it—why would I have done? I have re-re-created it, but I wonder if you might check the history: and also see what was originally on the page, which may be of interest. Thanks, Ian Spackman (talk) 11:01, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

I restored all the history and figured it out. Someone else created the page, then blanked it, then Closedmouth deleted it on July 11. You came along and re-created it about an hour later. Then I came along later in the day and re-deleted it since I was using the same list Closedmouth had been working off of. Sorry for the confusion. MBisanz 17:21, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
Ah, that explains it. Thanks! Ian Spackman (talk) 18:23, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
