Ben Daniels: Correction of some errors

Hi Jacklee, Ben Daniels' a friend and wanted to correct a couple of errors on this page, but has never edited a wiki-article, doesn't know how to do it, so he asked me... I just thought I'd clear it with you (as the main editor of this page) before doing anything... Tomandlu 19:16, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi Tomandlu, I'm not really the "main editor" of the page. I didn't create the article, but visited it a couple of times to do a cleanup. In any case, no one "owns" Wikipedia articles – they are freely editable by any user as long as the edits don't amount to vandalism. Do go ahead and improve the article by correcting any errors and adding additional information.

By the way, an administrator has tagged the photographs that are currently featured in the article as violating Wikipedia's "fair use policy". This means that the photographs are likely to be deleted in a week's time unless it can be shown that the use of the photographs complies with the fair use policy, which may be difficult to show. Does Ben have any photographs that we can use with his permission? We would need confirmation from him (or from someone who is authorized on his behalf) that the photographs can be used under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation Licence (GNU-FDL, or GFDL for short). This means that although he would retain the copyright and authorship of the photographs, he would be granting permission for others to use, copy, and share the images freely, and even potentially use them commercially, so long as they do not try to claim the copyright themselves, or try to prevent others from using or copying them freely (e.g., "share-alike"). The licence can be read in full at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_the_GNU_Free_Documentation_License. Wikipedia uses the GFDL because the organization considers it the best available tool for ensuring the encyclopedia can remain free for all to use, while providing credit to everyone who donates text and images.

(I'll put a copy of this conversation in "Talk:Ben Daniels".) Cheers, Jacklee 20:16, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

PS If possible, please cite the sources for facts that you put into the article. Thanks. Cheers, Jacklee 20:30, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi Tomandlu, Jacklee and I are pretty much the Wikipedians did much of the major editing here (I started the article with limited info). Go right ahead and edit it with sources, just like Jacklee said. If you can, please add a usable image. (Let me also add that it's an honor to have Mr. Ben Daniels take the time to look at the article even with all the 'errors' if it is true as you claim).ResurgamII 13:57, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Although I haven't heard from Tomandlu since April 2007, I've finally found the time to expand this article. Hope the results are satisfactory. (We could still do with a photograph of Daniels licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License or Creative Commons Attribution or Attribution-ShareAlike licences. :-) ) — Cheers, JackLee ^–talk– 21:16, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Jacklee, your contributions to the article is astounding. It seems I have forgotten about this page for sometime until your message regarding the DidYouKnow? on my talkpage (btw all three selections are very good, though I prefer the second one listed there). The 'Ben Daniels' Wikipedia article is no more a mere collection of quotes/actor credits from what I started with in the creation. Job well done (and any other editors who I have missed)!

Deletion of Ben Daniels' height

I've deleted the reference to Ben Daniels being 6 ft. in height. I had a look at the citation (http://www.celebheights.com/s/Ben-Daniels-3765.html), and all it says is that someone thinks he "looks about 6ft". In any case, this piece of information is rather inconsequential and adds little to the article. Cheers, Jacklee 23:28, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
