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)

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Seems to be withdrawn, but will work on whatever someone put on there.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)

I see you have already noticed, but I desysopped you for wheel warring over the Doran article, per the request of Dmcdevit and three other ArbCom members who were online at the time. It’s up to the ArbCom whether or not this is temporary, I assume. Jon Harald Søby (talk) 20:50, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

I emailed Jimbo, and my rights were restored. User:Zscout370 20:58, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

(edit conflict) ...and now the bit is back, as it seems I misinterpreted the situation and reacted to hastily. I apoligize for the inconvenience and confusion this must have caused. Jon Harald Søby (talk) 20:59, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

Well, I for one am glad that your user rights were restored. Speaking as someone who was actively involved in the situation at the time it was happening, I had no impressions of a wheel war, and a favourable impression of a group of admins working to achieve the best solution in a short time. Risker (talk) 21:13, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

Note that my comment was sent to all those who deleted and undeleted the article, just for the sake of making sure it didn't get any worse. I must also congratulate you; you may be the only user to ever be temporarily desysopped and resysopped twice -- that must mean you're doing something right :) Ral315 (talk) 21:29, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

There have been others. NoSeptember 21:45, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

The problem in this desyop scenario was excessive haste by both Zscout370 and Jon Harald Søby. Be cool, guys. Relax a notch. Itchy trigger fingers create unnecessary wikipedia drama. WAS 4.250 (talk) 22:28, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

Assuming good faith and a bit of patience defuse that. Which everyone seems to have had. But it's better to not have to rely on it. Georgewilliamherbert (talk) 22:44, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

What was the rationale for protection? I do not think that it is needed. If an article is created with BLP issues, it can be dealt with in the normal manner. Unless you have an objection, I would like to unprotect. ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 01:33, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

I left it at Doran's talk page. However, I advise against unprotecting the article now, since the article is now making the rounds on Yahoo News UK and Ireland. User:Zscout370 01:35, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:39th Congress BRSM.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:39th Congress BRSM.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. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the media 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 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. BetacommandBot (talk) 20:17, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
