You can leave me messages here and things like that. They are deleted periodically and I no longer archive, so if I didn't respond feel free to contact me again. :-)
IMAGE PERMISSIONS
Almost all of my images have been released into the public domain (the only ones that haven't are derived from other images which had different licensing requirements). If the image description page says it is in the public domain, you may feel free to use it for any purpose or reason. If you need to credit somebody, credit "Wikimedia Commons". Otherwise, leave it uncredited. Thanks. --Fastfission (talk) 15:10, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
Dark Object in white chimney of water, Baker Shot, Operation Crossroads 1946
I am trying to identify it. The following quote suggests it was the Arkansas:
- From http://www.atomicforum.org/usa/operations/crossroads/crossroads.html "Another aircraft observer reported seeing a major ship 'on [its] nose' before it sank and saw a water wave pass over one of the small islands between Bikini and Eneu islands about 2 minutes after the detonation. When the air over the fleet cleared, Arkansas, LSM-60, and four LCTs were not in sight. Saratoga was listing to starboard and her stern was low."
The 1946 watercolor by Grant Powers at http://www.history.navy.mil/ac/bikini/bikini4.htm (fourth picture down in the list) seems to identify the tossed ship as the Arkansas.
However, its rectangular shape suggests an aircraft carrier.
Here are videos from different angles: http://www.atomicforum.org/usa/operations/crossroads/baker_v.html
Do you have any solid evidence on the answer?
Please respond on my talk page. Thanks

- No clue, sorry! --Fastfission (talk) 14:43, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
- I looked at the video, what I'm most missing now is that somewhere I used to have a map of the ships anchorage points, but I can't find it right now.
- If that's in fact a ship upended like that, I have a hard time believing that it didn't sink immediately after. The Saratoga was afloat for a while after the test. Ships are strong in some ways, but the amount of energy required to lift one up on its bow like that, and the resultant impacts as it comes back down to "sea level" after the blast, are likely to blow most of the hull plates open and sink it pretty much immediately, and break her back on top of that.

Wrong atomic test name (I guess)
Hi there, this is Vomitron from the (RIP) Atomic Forum. About this photo: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Buster-Jangle_shot_with_personnel.jpg Actually I think it is Teapot MET, at least Nuclear Weapon Archive puts it this way (and watching the footage of Operation Teapot it seems that NWA.org this time is right ;-)
Hope it will help

Image of Charles Darwin as a monkey on La Petite Lune.
Hi,
I am working on a BBC documentary about Charles Darwin and I have come across the image of Charles Darwin as a monkey from the French magazine La Petite Lune. My producer is keen on using the image in his programme, but the image on the wiki is not good enough resolution. I was hoping that you would know where I could get a better quality image, since you uploaded the original image! Do you think you could help me with this?
Thanks

durable mistake
Hi -- congratulations -- you managed to sneak a mistake into Wikipedia that survived for four years! ;-) I've never seen any error last that long. In this edit, you replaced "refrain" by "restrain" where "refrain" was correct, and it's been there ever since. Joriki (talk) 17:11, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with File:Ahmadinejad at Natanz.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Ahmadinejad at Natanz.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. Even if you created the image yourself, you still need to release it so Wikipedia can use it. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like {{PD-self}} (to release all rights), {{self|CC-by-sa-3.0|GFDL}}
(to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

- FYI I have fixed the image in question - it's got the promotional non-free fair use copyright tag on it properly now. Georgewilliamherbert (talk) 05:47, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
it's too bad you do not archive any longer! you've made some good changes on here, and i've come across your nominated picture in the past!
But in any case thank you for your contributions! and have a happy new year!
