Friction over Glacier

Hi J3ff. Have you seen this yet? It appears that some people are rather miffed about our methods at SpTotW, and User:Stan Shebs essentially said that he's going to remove the Spanish text "in a couple of days." I'll admit that our methodology is a bit intrusive and I would certainly like to help brainstorm an alternative method, but it's certainly not fair for these fellows to just arbitrarily get in the way of our effort. Glacier is probably the most high-traffic article we've worked on yet, and I can certainly understand their concern, but it would probably be best is you used your authority to mediate something here. Thanks! Fernando Rizo T/C 15:52, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

• Way to step up, Jeff! Kudos. Fernando Rizo T/C 01:34, 26 July 2005 (UTC)

SPATRA Status

Hey, Jeff. Have we picked a new article for SPATRA for next week? --Fernando Rizo T/C 21:24, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

• I'll be your lieutenant, brother :). Let me know what I have to do to set up SPATRA in the future. Fernando Rizo T/C 01:38, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

Jeez. Are you starting to feel like we're the red-headed step children of Wikipedia, or what? Fernando Rizo T/C 19:22, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

Peruvian Cuisine

Hi Jeff,

I know you only made a minor edit to the Photo Credits in the above article insering :es: before the Wikipedia Re Prom Peru)but somehow it seems to have affected the Category Tag. Somes the category tag appears to 'float' over the section of the Photo credits so that I cannot see them. It does not appear constant. I don't know if this is something specific to my browser or if it is a bug. Would like your thoughts! Conce 06:35, 2005 August 11 (UTC)

Yes, thanks . I tried refreshing and it seems ok now. Conce 07:05, 2005 August 11 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up. I'l be working on it. Although a bit slowly. Also since it is my translation I may be writing what I feel is meant to say. For example GT is best on (personal) experience. The word personal was 'nt in the original Spanish but If I were to explain it I know this was what was meant.--Jondel 03:01, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

WP:SPATRA

Well, looking at the articles, Marcos Jiménez de la Espada looks to be a good translation, so I would delist it. The other two translations are probably sub-par (perhaps Babelfish), so we should try to re-translate them from the original articles.

4-Tel

Hi J3ff, I reverted and redid your merge of '4-Tel on View'; basically, 4-Tel on View isn't the same thing (although it uses the 4-Tel pages). I'd suggested the merge because I didn't feel it warranted a separate article, but it has been given its own section on the 4-Tel page. Fourohfour 13:27, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

Pe̍h-oē-jī

I notice that you tagged the article “notenglish”, which gives people only 2 weeks to finish the translation. A couple of comments:

• 2 weeks is not going to be enough time to translate the rest of the article
• The article is already useful even though half of it is still untranslated. It seems very unreasonable to delete the article after 2 weeks only because people cannot finish translating it.

Can you clarify your intentions on Talk:Pe̍h-oē-jī? Thanks.—Gniw (Wing) 00:22, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

Tv-logo

The Tv-logo template is cool, but it doesn't make use of the alphabetization info I had been supplying for the "Category:Television logos|how-to-alphabetize" tags I've been putting on the image pages. So logos get sorted according to how the image file happened to be named, which is often fairly random. Any way to change the template to accept an optional alphabetization parameter?

Re: ROC local elections, 2005

I don't have the solid evidence on hand, but as far as I know the ROC is still officially using its own calendrical era (see Republic of China for details). Year 2005 is ROC 94. — Instantnood 18:13, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

I don't know what the elections are called, but I have noticed that official gov't signs in TW are sometimes still using the old calender (which is pretty damn confusing if you ask me...) novacatz 02:40, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

Dilbert comic

Fair use images of this sort need to be explicitly discussed in the text if they are going to be used in this way. See WP:FU. I removed it because it seems largely irrelevant to the place it was put, and the discussion of whether or not Indians were a model minority was an almost insubstantial part of the article. If someone were to write up a section on Indians as model minorities, on how this is reflected sometimes in the U.S. with certain stereotypes, and mention that the character in Dilbert is an example of this, then I could imagine it being in the article without question. --Fastfission 19:51, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the help on the Community Portal. By the way, the sides of the boxes at the bottom of the page don't line up with the boxes above. Can you fix that? --Go for it! 20:38, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

No, not the column-lengths. The sides of the boxes don't line up. The bottom 3 boxes are different widths than the ones above. --Go for it! 21:02, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

SPATRA

When did Enrique Gaspar y Rimbau become the SPATRA? I see you and other users have already translated it all; kudos in that respect. But I never noticed it being posted on the SPATRAtopic template, or else I would have helped out (and probably some other clueless editors as well). How did the word spread? - Draeco 03:47, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I've been thinking for some time that the SPATRA mainpage needs an overhaul for several reasons, including the one you mentioned here. I'll try to do that in the next few days. Thanks for the work, and good luck concentrating on school - I should probably follow your lead. - Draeco 07:06, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Overhaul complete; we'll see how everybody likes it. - Draeco 16:00, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

SPATRA: merging completed article

You asked on my user talk page:

The article Wikipedia:Spanish Translation of the Week/Vasco Núñez de Balboa has been translated, and needs to be merged into Vasco Núñez de Balboa. Is it possible for you to merge the page histories, so the translator's contributions are preserved? — J3ff 22:07, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

So you want to merge the histories? That can be done pretty easily, and it looks like no non-trivial work has happened on Vasco Núñez de Balboa while the translation was in progress. To do this:

• Probably put an {{inuse}} note on Vasco Núñez de Balboa so no one edits there.
• Write a merged version at Wikipedia:Spanish Translation of the Week/Vasco Núñez de Balboa *Ask me or another admin to delete Vasco Núñez de Balboa, move Wikipedia:Spanish Translation of the Week/Vasco Núñez de Balboa, and restore the history of Vasco Núñez de Balboa

There is really nothing I can do until the article is ready to be moved. - Jmabel | Talk 22:55, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

I understand you're busy and may not have gotten a chance to read the message I left on your talk page a few days ago. The article at Wikipedia:Spanish Translation of the Week/Vasco Núñez de Balboa is ready to be moved to Vasco Núñez de Balboa. When you get a chance, it would be great if you could move the article and perform the history merge. Thanks — J3ff 04:16, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

Will do. The "we're still working on it" notes at the top had me presuming it wasn't ready to be moved. -- Jmabel | Talk 04:21, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

Should now be OK. - Jmabel | Talk 04:42, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

SPATRA article merge

SPATRA has finished translating a new article. Can please you perform the merge to preserve the histories, moving Mesoamerica/Translation to Mesoamerica? Thanks. — J3ff 20:50, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Done. Let me know if there are any problems. - Jmabel | Talk 22:19, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:A2M DVD cover.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:A2M DVD cover.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. 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 uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Image:Trish Thuy Trang 001.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Trish Thuy Trang 001.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Chowbok ☠ 21:53, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Tia Carrere0001.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Romeo must die dvd.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Romeo must die dvd.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. 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 Wikipedia (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 Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

Fair use rationale for Image:Better_luck_tomorrow_poster001.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Better_luck_tomorrow_poster001.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

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 Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MER-C 09:45, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Image source problem with Image:99-ranch-supermarket-logo0001.gif

Image Copyright problem

This is an automated message from a robot. You have recently uploaded Image:99-ranch-supermarket-logo0001.gif. 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, 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, 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:Non-free content, 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.

Speedy deletion of Aiko Tanaka

A tag has been placed on Aiko Tanaka requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
