Hi there! To keep the flow of conversations, I like to keep threads on one page where possible. So, if you post a message here, I'll probably respond to it here. Conversely, if I post a message on your talk page, you can respond there if you wish; since I've edited your talk page I'll have it on my watchlist. Thanks!
Spring has arrived - time to play boats, don't expect to see me much at the week-end (unless it's raining...)

Note for other Admins - If you want to change any action I have done, then you may do so without having to wait for a reply from me. Your judgement at the time should be sufficient.

[edit] Photo flagged for deletion - burtwilson_2009.jpg

Hi Ron,

Similar to a previous poster, I too am very confused about copyrights. Even after reading all the policies, I'm very confused as to which license to use and how to prove ownership. Also...in your response...there is supposed to be a link to an example letter, but there is no link...which is further frustrating me.

This is regarding the following:

The Wikipedia page "User talk:Swilson317" has been changed on 10 February 2012 by Ronhjones, with the edit summary: Notification: tagging for deletion of File:Burtwilson 2009.jpg. (TW)

See http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Swilson317&diff=0&oldid=475829767 for all changes since your last visit. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Swilson317 for the current revision.

I'm not even sure if this is the correct way to communicate with you. Sorry...I'm new to Wikipedia and find the help files to be a little difficult to follow.

Bottom line. I can get a letter or email from the photographer. Please advise the best way to handle this and how to then update the photo file. Also...please confirm whether I am using the correct license. Basically, the photographer is not a professional and is a friend of the subject of the photo. The advise the best license to use. I'd also like to know the proper way of doing this in the first place. Also...there is no explanation of what "source" is. It would really be helpful if Wikipedia had clear definitions and examples for all fields and better explanation of the various copyright licenses.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Steve Swilson317 (talk) 03:01, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

A new copyright template wizard is in the making - but we have soo many... {WP:ICT/ALL) - it's a minefield. Source - where did you get it - for your own photos use {{own}}, for web photos, use the url, etc. In this case use the same as the author.
The only way to now use the image is to get the original author to send in send in the form at Wikipedia:Declaration of consent for all enquiries, changing the grey bits. For photos not on the web already, just the authors name and address at the end will do.
Here's one I created for you - User:Ronhjones/OTRS1 - just change the (address) and send from her e-mail address (the home address and e-mail address will NOT be shown on Wikipedia)  Ronhjones  (Talk) 20:23, 10 February 2012 (UTC)


Ron...I will use my own photo instead. The girl who shot the other photo isn't that PC-literate and seems to be having problems with sending the email. She claimed that I sent her two email addresses. I did not. I sent her the same template you sent me. So...I will upload a new photo. I would appreciate help with making sure I am using the correct license type for my own photo. I will reread the help text, but as previously mentioned, I find it very confusing.

Thanks, Steve Swilson317 (talk) 20:41, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

No problem, let us know if when/if you need an upload checking.  Ronhjones  (Talk) 20:45, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

Ron...Jennifer Rivera stated that she did try to send the email permissions again. Would you please check? Would be nice to have options.

Thanks, Steve Swilson317 (talk) 15:45, 25 February 2012 (UTC)

Found. OTRS ticket confirmed. Image restored.  Ronhjones  (Talk) 22:37, 25 February 2012 (UTC)

Ron...I can't find the image.

[edit] deletion of File:Truebinaryclock anthony liekens.png

Dear Ron,

I received a message about a week ago that an image (File:Truebinaryclock anthony liekens.png) I uploaded was going to be deleted because it said that there was no proof that the author agreed to the CC Attribution license. As instructed I forwarded the email thread between myself and the author to the permissions-en@wikimedia.org address where the author specified the CC Attribution license. Also as instructed I put {{OTRS pending}} on the file description page to prevent premature file deletion. I did not hear anything back but just noticed that the image was deleted. ???

A goethals (talk) 20:35, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

Good news and bad news...
  1. I afraid you failed to add the pending notice - I'll restore and add one (allows 30 days to complete now)
  2. I've found the e-mail, and I will answer it
  3. Needs a little more info - see e-mail

 Ronhjones  (Talk) 21:55, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

P.S. You did add a notice, but it didn't show while in the deletion pre-view - odd, maybe a bug... Not sure why deleted, but every admin has their own preference - I would suggest if ever it happens again, ask the person who tagged the image to remove the tag.  Ronhjones  (Talk) 22:15, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for restoring the image. I asked the author to verify acceptance of CC Attribution and he sent this to permissions@wikimedia.org.
A goethals (talk) 16:14, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
Just jumped into OTRS, and it's there. Will place permission on file page now  Ronhjones  (Talk) 16:31, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
Tidied up and moved to commons now it's a nice free image. Now all wikis can use it.  Ronhjones  (Talk) 16:39, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] MSU Interview

Dear Ronhjones,

My name is Jonathan Obar user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the community HERE, where it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.


So a few things about the interviews:

  • Interviews will last between 15 and 30 minutes.
  • Interviews can be conducted over skype (preferred), IRC or email. (You choose the form of communication based upon your comfort level, time, etc.)
  • All interviews will be completely anonymous, meaning that you (real name and/or pseudonym) will never be identified in any of our materials, unless you give the interviewer permission to do so.
  • All interviews will be completely voluntary. You are under no obligation to say yes to an interview, and can say no and stop or leave the interview at any time.
  • The entire interview process is being overseen by MSU's institutional review board (ethics review). This means that all questions have been approved by the university and all students have been trained how to conduct interviews ethically and properly.


Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your name HERE instead.

If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.

Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.


Sincerely,


Jonathan Obar --Jaobar (talk) 07:26, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Help Posting to Wikipedia

Hi,

I have tried, and tried to move the below post so it may be viewed and searched on Wikipedia and have not been successful in doing to.

I work for Seattle Sutton's Healthy Eating along with April (april@sshe.com) who provided the copy rite information so we may post the Seattle Sutton's info to Wikipedia.

I have gone through the help section to no avail. I have never posted to Wikipedia and am just not savvy with how to do so.

Your assistance is greatly appreciated. My direct email is anna.egofske@gmail.com and my SSHE email is anna@sshe.com.

Thank you kindly, Anna Egofske Username: egofskam

There's nothing that needs doing with respect to OTRS.
When you decide to move your page into the main space - just make sure that the box "Move associated talk page" is ticked. Then both pages move together and the OTRS ticket is kept with the article.
I've tidied up a couple of the references for you to give you a start - it will probably need some more better reliable sources adding to it.  Ronhjones  (Talk) 21:04, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Upcoming MediaWiki & Wikimedia developers' events

Hi! Thought you might want to know about some upcoming MediaWiki & Wikimedia developers' events, where you can learn more about extending functionality with JavaScript, the new Lua templating system, and various upcoming features and changes. We'd love to have power users and template makers at these events so we can all learn from each other and chat about what needs doing. Best wishes! Sumanah (talk) 13:14, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

No way. That's at least an 700 mile round trip, and at £1.39/litre of diesel...  Ronhjones  (Talk) 19:47, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
Travel subsidies will be available for the Berlin hackathon, in case you do want to attend and that helps you. Sumanah (talk) 21:39, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Raj Amit Kumar

Your delertion of the photograph after I forwarded the e-mails to the permissions e-mail seems inappropriate. Mr. Kumar is my employe, and I provided evidence that he requested that I post that photo on Wikipedia.--Scottandrewhutchins (talk) 00:26, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

I did not delete it, another admin did - I do not do tag and delete, it never hurts to have a second opinion. There was nothing on that photo that would suggest it should stay past the 7 days. You should have added an {{OTRS pending}} template to the image page - it keeps it for 30 days. We cannot guess if you will write to OTRS or not. I will add the template.  Ronhjones  (Talk) 20:11, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Karup J

Dear Ron Jones!

I have tried to create a page for the danish town Karup J in the english version by translating the danish page as you said, but it seams like I can only edit at the talk page.. Dont know what to do.. Can you help?

[edit] Chaim Koppelman photos deleted

Hi Ron. Just a heads-up that I'm again uploading the pictures of Chaim Koppelman taken by Robert Bianchi. Apparently the photographer's permission could not be found. He emailed that he did indeed send it. I think the easiest thing to do is to start over and this time I'll ask him to cc: me on the email so that I have a record of the permission in case it can't be found again. Thanks. LoreMariano (talk) 21:32, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

I've restored them as "OTRS pending" - you need to ask me to remove the tag when you add the OTRS pending - the OTRS will give you 30 days to fix it.  Ronhjones  (Talk) 21:42, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
Fantastic. I'm contacting Robert Bianchi today so that he can resend the permission.
I'll be uploading art work today that is held by the Chaim and Dorothy Koppelman Foundation. Dorothy Koppelman will be sending the permission email this week. Is there anything I should know or be aware of so that an inadvertent deletion doesn't happen? LoreMariano (talk) 21:57, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
Just top the file info page with {{OTRS pending}} (better near the top where we can see it, too far down and it has been known to be missed by the phantom taggers...) Ideally use the form at WP:CONSENT to send to OTRS, see also WP:DCM :-)  Ronhjones  (Talk) 22:01, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Lee Navigation

Hi Ron, I have been looking at the River Lee Flood Relief Channel, and then at the route diagram on the Lee Navigation, and this has led me to try to name the lakes. The lower ones, from King George's Res downwards, are fine, but I am struggling to work out which is which above that. I have stopped at Holyfield Lake, since the one opposite Aqueduct lock ought to be it, according to my OS maps, but then there is another one below New Nazing Road, which also ought to be it. Then there seems to be three below the Stort Junction, and the flood relief channel seems to be to the east, but I think it should be to the west. Also, if I have identified 70 Acres Lake correctly, the flood relief channel seems to go round it rather than through it. Any thoughts? After all this time, can you remember what they all were? Regards. Bob1960evens (talk) 12:07, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

I didn't know they had names! And I've passed them so many times in the boats. There are so many channels I might have added one too many or not enough - the whole area is sort of a flood plain anyway (not that there's much water down these thesedays! Far too much here, the Lanky will never run dry. Anyway, my way of doing a map was a combination of Nicolsons, http://canalplan.eu, the OS maps in http://www.streetmap.co.uk, and GoogleEarth (GoogleMaps is just as good now). I like steetmap - they are OS based - can't beat them. Are you confusing the flood relief channel with the River Lea - that runs to the west. Streetmap says the second lake (below stort/lee junction) is called "Nazing Mead" http://www.streetmap.co.uk/idld.srf?X=538644&Y=207615&A=Y&Z=115&lm=1  Ronhjones  (Talk) 20:30, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Re:MotoGP '12

By all means; I believe that all the CRT slots have been taken for the year by the teams that have announced riders! Moto3 is probably the same boat...think there's two on the bottom there. Don't quote me on the latter, though. Haha! Craig(talk) 23:11, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

You totally should...Usually get the closest racing [well it was when it was 125cc] in the class, and a title-contending Brit! Yeah, I didn't know such a thing existed...mind you, the site says I have around 100,500 when I have 105,000 on the edit counter. Bizarre. Seems like another user created that award, when you go through the contributions! Craig(talk) 23:20, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
Okay, I shall say no more about them then. But back to the MotoGP stuff...I personally can't wait to hear those 1000cc engines once again. Stoner annihilated everyone on the 800s. 33 wins and two dominant titles. Now he has a proper factory ride on the 1000s, rather than the LCR bike he had in 2006. Will be hard to stop, I feel. Craig(talk) 23:39, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
Odds-on...blimey. I thought it would've been Evens at best, but I'm surprised at that. Yeah, I'd like to see Rossi win a race again...last year just didn't feel right with him not winning a race...he's only 17 wins behind Ago at present...I don't think anyone would have thought his record would come under threat but a few Rossi seasons of old and he'll be right up there. Craig(talk) 23:52, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Talkback

Please let me know if you need anything further to finalize the permission. Thank you for your help! LoreMariano (talk) 23:24, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
Those two images are fine - they have the full OTRS permission ticket applied. Nothing else to do.  Ronhjones  (Talk) 01:35, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Heads up

Hi there, I thought I'd point you towards this discussion here Talk:1994 San Marino Grand Prix#Classifications table and ask what I should do, if anything. I had a discussion on this chap's talk page (now blanked) [1] and he put this unpleasant message on my talk page [2]. I've pretty much put up with it so far, through a lack of energy when it comes to filing ANI reports and a feeling that I'm being trolled, but I wanted to see what you thought. Bretonbanquet (talk) 01:54, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

Not a troll it's a WP:DIVA - oh, dear he has now retired - what have you done... Anyway, It's often hard to reinforce a MoS in an article, especially at ANI - where you might not find anyone with knowledge of that MoS. Personally, for such cases, I would try to find another editor who is fully up to speed on what goes in which column and why - it never hurts to have a second opinion, then one can argue from a better position - otherwise it ends up as one to one scrap. I usually ask cs-Wolves as he's usually around when I'm here - he edited more motor racing pages than I ever will. The editor may return - they often do, but don't take it to heart - I had one throw in the towel the other week - insisted that a photo of a book on an angle was a 3D image and therefore not a 2D cover artwork... C'ést la vie.  Ronhjones  (Talk) 19:59, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
It's funny - usually when I upset people in life, it's deliberate, but this guy seemed to take our rather minor disagreement incredibly badly. I can do without his cheek though. If he comes back then I'll take it from there. Asking CS-Wolves is a good idea, he always knows what he's doing. Thanks for your words of wisdom :) Bretonbanquet (talk) 22:55, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Mark/countryman68 needs help with Asuna page

Hello again Ron. How are you? I love your photo of your Standard Poodle. I had a medium-sized black poodle named Peppers growing up. Anyway, I am still struggling with your instructions about how to upload 2 art (logo) files for a car-page called "Asuna". Asuna was a short-lived brand created just for Canada by General Motors. I logged in, then went to "Toolbox", > "Upload File".... but, clicking on the line of type stating "Start", nothing happens. I am on a PC using Windows XP (which I hate), and Internet Explorer 7. Would you have any other tip or instruction for me??? ~ Thank you, Mark. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Countryman68 (talk • contribs) 19:31, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

Nothing will work until you are WP:AUTOCONFIRMED = 10 edits + 4 days. If you don't want to wait, you can send it to photosubmissionATwikimedia.org - but there is always a queue (looks like a month as we speak).  Ronhjones  (Talk) 19:39, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] File permission problem with File:HelenShiller.jpg

Hi. My childhood pet was a poodle. I'm not the creator of File:HelenShiller.jpg but I went thru the file permission process already a while back when I uploaded this image. The copyright info is accurate. The owner is anonymous to me. Via e-mail I requested permission and the owner told me they had forwarded permission to Wikimedia. I'm loathe to go back to the well for permission. I'm sad because the article is GA nominated and an image would help. Is the release associated with the image in a wikimedia database? Any way you can check? Thanks! Hugh (talk) 05:03, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

I will check the OTRS database now - but as no ticket has been added, I'm not hopeful, but we'll see.  Ronhjones  (Talk) 19:33, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
I've tried the following text searches in the OTRS database...
  • HelenShiller
  • Shiller
  • shiller
  • Uptown Update
  • www.uptownupdate.com
  • uptownupdate
  • HughD
Sadly, nothing to report. The main issue here is that free images are being moved off en-wiki (by IIRC End 2013 - there are a lot) to commmons, hence it is necessary to check what we have here, as (in my experience) commons will pick these off so quick. Also it's a quirk of the system that any deletion notice goes to the person that uploaded the image to commons - so the original uploader to en-wiki does not usually get notified - another reason to make sure we only transfer correct images.  Ronhjones  (Talk) 19:52, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for checking. You reminded me that I myself recently pushed the button to move this image from en-wiki to commons, confident at the time that the release was on file. Now Im confused, is the current issue with the en-wiki image or the commons version or both? And should I open a ticket on this? Thanks again for your help Hugh (talk) 20:36, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
I was referring to the image is on en-wiki - but I do now see one at http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:HelenShiller.jpg as well...  Ronhjones  (Talk) 20:39, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
If you can get the author to e-mail in, it would apply to both images - although once the commons one is "stable", then the en-wiki one would go.  Ronhjones  (Talk) 20:41, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Trouble with Permissions

I sent you a copy of the email from the copyright holder to permissions. I don't understand why these were removed and why the permission email could not be located.

Hello, Ronhjones. Please check your e-mail – you've got mail!
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{You've got mail}} or {{YGM}} template.
Queue at OTRS is normally greater than 7 days. If you get a speedy warning in future, ask the tagging editor to remove the speedy tag while OTRS process runs - can take 30 days - images with OTRS pending > 30 days automatically drop into a category for checking anyway. Done them for you anyway.  Ronhjones  (Talk) 22:06, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
Can't thank you enough! I was under the delusion that when a tagging editor tagged for speedy deletion, they worked with you to resolve any open issues....I did put an 'OTRS in process' macro in both files and told the tagging editor the permission had been sent but it had no effect whatsoever! Next time I think I'll send the permissions first; then upload the files so that hopefully the permission will be found right away. I am grateful to you for resolving it. LoreMariano (talk) 22:18, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi !

I try to add information in Burgas Airport and Varna Airport but one user with nickname - Kattapusur delete everything what I added in page. Please help ! I added sources to understand that the information is correct but he deletes all...

[edit] Question about permission problem

What's the issue with File:High Desert Museum Poster.JPG image? It's photo I took of the welcome sign at the museum entrance.--Orygun (talk) 04:15, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

Posters are 2D artwork (unless they are just text). The copyright always belongs to the creator of the poster. Posters can only remain as an image if they can satisfy the requirements of WP:NFCC, in which case a filled in template from WP:FURG needs to be added, and the {{self|cc-by-sa-3.0|GFDL}} needs to changed to {{non-free poster}}  Ronhjones  (Talk) 20:11, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
I called it a “poster” when I uploaded image, but I’m pretty sure it was painted directly on the wall. It’s too late to check now, but would it make a difference if image was painted or stenciled on the wall? In any case, it was the welcome sign at the entrance to the museum. Just for my education, are photos of entry signs like this ok to upload? How about ones like this with picture included in the sign? Hard to believe someone would have to get sign painter's permission before uploading sign image. Oh well, will let this one go, but would like to know rules about photos of signs so it doesn’t happen again.--Orygun (talk) 05:40, 3 March 2012 (UTC)

[edit] RE: Replaceable fair use File:Derek Ridgers - skinhead backdrop1.jpg

Dear Jon - regarding your note on 'Replaceable fair use File:Derek Ridgers - skinhead backdrop1.jpg' on the entry 'DEREK RIDGERS', the reason for the use of the image and the reason there is no alternative free version is as follows:

RE: DI-REPLACEABLE FAIR USE - There is NO comparable free image available of both singer AND backdrop.
IMPORTANT NOTE - the subject of this image is a combination of two things: the photographic backdrop utilising the Skinhead Girls photo by Derek Ridgers in relation to its use by the singer Morrissey at this particular concert; the subject is NOT just Morrissey and NOT just the backdrop, it is a combination of both - and there is no other free image available of this subject combination, which is why permission was sought and granted by the original author of the image.

It's normal for free use not to be allowed for living people, maybe there's a special case to keep - I'll change it to a FfD so that we can get a consensus on if it should stay.  Ronhjones  (Talk) 19:46, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

Jon, hi. Hi. As I say, the image in question is a very specific portrait of something discussed in depth in the entry 'Derek Ridgers', relating to the use of a Derek Ridgers photograph as the backdrop during the concert portrayed in the image; so the image is not of Morrissey per se, but of him in relation to a Derek Ridgers photograph - the backstory of which is a significant and well-known part of Derek Ridgers ouvre. There is no other comparable image that could be used here, and I think it makes a fair and valuable illustrative point regarding this part of the subject's history. Thanks.

[edit] RE:Image

I've been meaning to put it on the Club Penguin article. Just been struck by laziness. :P Quiet Andrew! The McCarvers are coming! (talk) 00:32, 3 March 2012 (UTC)

Once it's there, it can stay.  Ronhjones  (Talk) 00:38, 3 March 2012 (UTC)

[edit] New Page Triage engagement strategy released

Hey guys!

I'm dropping you a note because you filled out the New Page Patrol survey, and indicated you'd be interested in being contacted about follow-up work. This is to notify you that we've finally released both the initial documentation about the project and also the engagement strategy, which sets out how we plan to work with the community on this. Please give both a read, and leave any comments or suggestions you have on the talkpage, on my talkpage, or in my inbox - okeyes@wikimedia.org.

It's awesome to finally get to start work on this! :). Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 02:20, 3 March 2012 (UTC)

[edit] New mechanisms on Myrosinase Page

Hi Ronhjones,

Sorry for neglecting to upload the mechanisms I added to the myrosinase page into the Commons. I am a new user and am still in the process of learning how to properly make contributions to Wikipedia! I appreciate your help though!

Thank you for your time, Btheta (talk) 07:36, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
