All that can be easily done so reverted.

Ogg file tagging

Regarding your tagging of several OGG files on May 11: Of the three that I randomly checked, the uploader did actually type in a rationale. For example, on Image:Blancmange - Living On the Ceiling excerpt.ogg, the uploader entered, "This audio sample is used for illustrative purposes within the linked article(s) and is of a reduced length and quality from the originally-published recording. Where known, the source and copyright owner are credited."

That might not be a great rationale, but it is a rationale, and thus your tag that it has no rationale is improper. I'm assuming all of the OGG files in Category:Images with no fair use rationale as of 11 May 2007 are yours; as such, could you please revisit all of them and remove your tag from the ones that actually contain rationales?

Thanks! --Spike Wilbury 05:01, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

I really appreciate the effort, awesome work. --Spike Wilbury 15:32, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Penny for your thoughts

How would you like to have a shot at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship? I've seen your contributions around the place - especially when clearing image backlogs - and I've been impressed. It would be an honour to write up an RfA nomination for you. Thoughts? Moreschi ^Talk 10:35, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Oh, come on. You've got 14000 edits, that's way more than me, and this guy didn't have a clue what the hell a wheel war was months after he was sysopped. You need more experience like a hole in the head.

But if you won't be persuaded now, please let me know when you feel you're ready. It will be a privilege to nominate you. In the meantime, I'll go and clear those fair use no-rationale backlogs you have a habit of creating :) Cheers, Moreschi ^Talk 20:23, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject Proposal

WikiProject Domesday

Description

Me and ShakespeareFan00 have been looking at the BBC Domesday Project and have found that it could be quite useful of improving geographical stubs. ShakespeareFan has already been able to expand a one line stub, Maughold (parish) (which he knew nothing about), into a bigger article using just the Domesday project. This is potentially a very valuable source to geography articles on Wikipedia and the WikiProject would aim to get people dedicated to using the source and expanding Geo-Stubs using the data provided. — Taggard (Complain) 22:06, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Comments

thanks for pointing out

the copyright issue with Image:Noguchi-Detroit1.jpg. i took the picture and I posted it there in the summary, that much is mentioned on the picture and I also did the copyright release tht produces the water buffalo head. A user created GFDL image I think is what it is called that is in the licencing section. I have perhaps 500 (this is not a math question) other such images and and if they all get removed then it must be my destiny. Carptrash 14:08, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for getting back to me with such dispatch. I am not sure what the issue that you refer to is, nor am I interested in finding out. I've posted a bunch of images on wikipedia, mostly mine, but those that I didn't take were from pre-1923 publications and I always wrote up a rationale for them. For my pictures I picked the copyright tag that seemed the best at the time, though they have, I seem to remember, changed over time. I think that I have perhaps two dozen in the United States section of this article alone, [[1]]. But I am no longer interested in expending any effort in maintaining any of them. These were a gift to wikipedia, licensed as best I could, and, as with all gifts, they can be turned down. Carptrash 14:25, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for telling me about the lack of fair use rationale on Image:Stanstatue.JPG, I'd completely forgot about the image and didn't realise I hadn't added a fair use rationale. Dave101→talk  14:53, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Fair use question

I updated the fair use description at Image:DarkSunRevisedCampaignCover.jpg, but I'm honestly not sure if it's really an improvement, because it's not different than what was already there. Is there supposed to be something more? It might help if you provided examples of sufficient rationales with your boilerplate message, as I'm not really sure what's necessary there and the fair use guidelines aren't that helpful.

I6

As you can see at CAT:CSD, it's been requested that I6 deletions be suspended until 1 July while rationales are provided after Betacommand's big bot run. At the moment, there's not so much urgency with this problem. Cheers, Moreschi ^Talk 11:32, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Redcube-noguchi.jpg

Done and i've removed the no rationale tag. thanks Chaerani 12:01, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
