Colours (Ixion/Orcus)

Hi, I’ve noticed you added a couple of images to plutinos' infoboxes. Such header images (compare with a few Main belt asteroids boxes) usually state clearly what they are (e.g. an actual picture for a lucky few, an artist’s vision, a computer plot generated with the given data set etc). Could you please add a short comment like this to 28978 Ixion & 90482 Orcus (and Sedna)? (on the image page).

The colours are an important differentiator among these objects. There’s more than one way to express them (including the albedo). In addition, the colour/albedo data for some of them are limited and a stream of new observations is making the images obsolete. (This happened to some of my images in just a couple of months!) I’ve been contributing for a while now to the physical characteristics, including colours (see the related articles or my page for a few examples). I’m concerned that unless we align among all contributors the data we’re using and the way we use them we are risking creating confusion by presenting the same objects with very different hues, much too dim or bright compared to others etc. I believe the images you’ve added are fine; such images add some identity to otherwise difficult to distinguish objects and add some 'life' to otherwise austere articles. I’d be interested to know what data do did you use (colour indices? Slope? Albedo?) and how did you render them. Thank you. Eurocommuter 08:15, 30 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

TNO satellite articles

Hello. I see you've been creating individual articles for some TNO satellites. Although it is true that every natural satellite should have an article, I wouldn't create articles for TNO satellites yet because we still know next to nothing about them. For example, the satellite of 2003 UB₃₁₃ needs to be confirmed first.

PS. Please don't clear your talk page, see talk page guidelines.

--Jyril 07:59, 7 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Discuss...

Hi. Recently you created a separated article for 2003 UB₃₁₃ when some while ago we'd decided that until much more was known about it there wasn't much point. All you'd done was removed one section from the main article and pasted it, so I put it back and restored the redirect. Now I see you reverted that, without using an edit summary, or mentioning it on the talk page. This is not very helpful, and I hope you'll discuss this on the talk page if you want to argue that there should be a moon article separate from the main article. If you don't discuss things when you disagree you'll find you generate far more friction than necessary. Also, as Jyril said, blanking your talk page is considered bad form.

Proposed Deletion

I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article [[{{PlutonianSystem Footer}}]], suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Importance). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree, discuss the issues raised at [[Talk:{{PlutonianSystem Footer}}]]. If you remove the {{dated prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Asteroid Renderings

Many of them are very nice convex hull renderings. Those that are good provide a nice sense of the object. Those that were of poor quality I removed, as they did not provide a sense of the object. Thank you for the additions. It's a great start to what appears to be an ambitious project. Abyssoft 07:58, 17 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I just came from Image:11A.jpg and figured I should suggest that you add a bit more information about what this image is and where it's from. If I hadn't noticed its addition and removal from 11 Parthenope I'd have had no idea what to make of it. I notice that the rest of your recent uploads are also missing information on their respective description pages. And once they've been sourced and described, perhaps you might be interested uploading them to Wikimedia Commons as well so other languages can use them? Bryan Derksen 20:11, 17 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia Commons cannot accept copyrighted images.--JyriL ^talk 20:27, 17 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Asteroid shape models

I notice you've added those nice asteroid shape models from the publications of Mikko Kaasalainen's group into the asteroid articles. They are a significant enhancement! However, I also notice that they have the GFDL-self made copyright tag on them, as in "I, the creator of this work, hereby blah blah blah ....". So, just in a friendly way, I'm wondering are you the creator of those images − as in, e.g. a member of M. Kaasalainen's research group? If not, the copyright tags should be changed. (At the least because those astronomers might be a bit upset to see their research described as someone else's work.) For example you can probably get their permission to upload them, etc.

Don't worry, I'm not going to go and tag them as copyright suspect, because I find the copyright "correctness" on Wikipedia a major annoyance more than anything else, but I also suspect that without a change, some stickler for correctness is going to find them soon and they'll get tagged for deletion. Deuar 14:22, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't care about correctness itself, but copyright issues can be damaging to Wikipedia, so the annoyance is justified. Using GNU template for images is not acceptable since you haven't created the images and the authors own the copyright. Maybe we could use these images under fair use. There was a database which included all these models, but I have been unable to locate it anymore. If we had the data, we could recreate new, better images and replace the current ones.--JyriL ^talk 20:25, 17 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dalampasigan Beach Resort

A tag has been placed on Dalampasigan Beach Resort, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Your Pictures

It has come to the attention of some Wikipedians that many of your images are being flagged for cleanup/deletion. This is for several reasons, which I will outline now:

Firstly many of your images consist of a small image in the center surrounded by a border with some wordart text. This is not accepted image policy. They should have only the center image.

Secondly, all of your photographs are of terrible resolution. These images are not of much use in this state, as not much can be seen of them.

Thirdly, the copyright of many of your images is questionable. Did you take the photos yourself? If you got them from a search engine like Google the image is probably copyrighted, no matter how much you have edited them. It was not right to put the "I, the creator..." template on if you did not create the photograph. The only exception would be if you got the image from the NASA site, because this is a branch of the US government. Please contact me and tell me if you did take the photo using your own telescope and if you are a professional astronomer. If so your help could probably be used with many articles. Another user, User:SteveBaker is possibly willing to adopt you and help you learn about image uploading, as he is a graphics worker and has many helpful tips. Again, please contact me on my talk page User talk:Smiley200 so we can resolve this without losing images of so many star systems. Thanks, Smiley200 18:55, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Philippine Nebula

I have nominated Philippine Nebula for deletion. This appears to be a random cloud of gas that was named at an internet discussion board. The article contains no information that looks useful. You are welcome to comment.

Also note that I agree with one of the other commentators about your images, and I will proceed to nominate some of these images for deletion pending the outcomes of the discussion on Philippine Nebula and other articles. Dr. Submillimeter 14:28, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your Images

Could you please stop creating images with this word art? You may think it looks cool and new, but everyone else thinks it looks stupid, unrefined, and silly. In fact, don't even label pictures because that's what captions are for. I also warn you that if you are finding these images just willy nilly off the internet, it is illegal to upload them unless they are by the US Government, meaning NASA.

Oh, and I think you used Microsoft Paint to create some images on Polar-ring galaxy; don't do this either. SeanMD80^{talk | contribs} 11:47, 10 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Offer of Help.

It is clear that you (User:Acom) are an enthusiastic contributor to Wikipedia - but it's evident from the slew of your contributions that are about to be deleted that you really need some help and guidance to direct those energies in a useful way.

Wikipedia has an informal system called "Wikipedia:Adopt-a-User" in which experienced users help less experienced people to improve their Wiki skills. You could either go to the 'adoption' site and look for someone with similar interests to you - or if you like, I'd be happy to help you out. I'm a professional computer graphics person (I used to design flight simulator graphics - and now I'm a computer games graphics guy) - I can give you lots of advice about how to dramatically improve the kinds of images and diagrams that you've been contributing.

Please leave a note on my User_talk:SteveBaker page if you'd like me to help out...or alternatively, find someone else on the Adopt-A-User page who can help.

You are clearly an enthusiastic contributor and we don't want to lose that energy!

Image source problem with Image:10A.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:10A.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 20:53, 6 July 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Siebrand 20:53, 6 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for uploading File:Deep Braille.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

ArbCom elections are now open!

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 Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. 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. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Image copyright problem with File:Chocolate Hills Monument.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Chocolate Hills Monument.jpg.

This image is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such images would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a screenshot of a computer game or movie. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original image must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work.

While the image description page states the source and copyright status of the derivative work, it only names the creator of the original work without specifying the status of their copyright over the work.

Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the original image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other derivative works, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. Thanks again for your cooperation. --TheImaCow (talk) 15:38, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
