Just a note
You can remove the {{cot}} but, my rational still stands, turning request for rights into file uploads request is not for WP:PERM/C this is done at WP:FFU as you already know. Thank you. Mlpearc (powwow) 18:04, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
- I disagree with you, as they didn't request the upload of a file, but the confirmed permission. I just uploaded these files, because I didn't see any reason why not, and asked if they need the permission for anything other? There is nothing wrong with that. Or uploading the file and declining the request with pointing to my talk page if they want something other would be better? Armbrust, B.Ed. WrestleMania XXVIII The Undertaker 20–0 18:24, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
No worries :)
Have a great week! --j⚛e deckertalk 06:38, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
Credo Reference Update & Survey (your opinion requested)
Credo Reference, who generously donated 400 free Credo 250 research accounts to Wikipedia editors over the past two years, has offered to expand the program to include 100 additional reference resources. Credo wants Wikipedia editors to select which resources they want most. So, we put together a quick survey to do that:
- Link to Survey (should take between 5-10 minutes): http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/N8FQ6MM
It also asks some basic questions about what you like about the Credo program and what you might want to improve.
At this time only the initial 400 editors have accounts, but even if you do not have an account, you still might want to weigh in on which resources would be most valuable for the community (for example, through WikiProject Resource Exchange).
Also, if you have an account but no longer want to use it, please leave me a note so another editor can take your spot.
If you have any other questions or comments, drop by my talk page or email me at wikiocaasi@yahoo.com. Cheers! Ocaasi t | c 17:07, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
Heads up...
...anytime you see someone in RFPC who has an obvious COI or username infraction, do not engage ...it gets their hopes up when they actually have other problems to be concerned about. Xceedium is a perfect example of a discussion that should not have continued (✉→BWilkins←✎) 19:07, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
- Okay, will do so next time. Thanks for the advice. Armbrust, B.Ed. WrestleMania XXVIII The Undertaker 20–0 19:08, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
Some bubble tea for you!

Wes Hampton (copyright)
I'm sorry, but I don't quite understand why I cannot use that image I requested ability to use. I doesn't mention a copyright on the image, and I if it is non-free, then I am not sure how to find a free one, as he is a Christian singer, and I am not sure to find one that I can use. Sorry, I am new to this type of editing, and if you could find some way or someone to help, that would be great. Quadspyder (talk) 13:14, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
- Well the image you want to use is on this website. According to it: "©2010 Wes Hampton. All Rights Reserved." As the image is copyrighted it can not be used under a free license, and only the non-free option remains. However this isn't applicable there either, as according to the first non-free content criteria a non-free file can only be used if a free equivalent wouldn't be available. However I have fund four free images on FlickR (1, 2, 3 and 4. You can upload these image(s) to our free image repository, the Commons. You do not need any special permissions to upload there and you can use the same username and password you use here. Regards, Armbrust, B.Ed. WrestleMania XXVIII The Undertaker 20–0 13:34, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
- Okay, thank you, that is very helpful. However I still do not have permission to upload these pictures for the article, how would I go about doing that? Quadspyder (talk) 15:18, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
- As I said: "You can upload these image(s) to our free image repository, the Commons. You do not need any special permissions to upload there and you can use the same username and password you use here." The images upload there can used on the English Wikipedia too. Armbrust, B.Ed. WrestleMania XXVIII The Undertaker 20–0 15:23, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
- Okay thanks, sorry I missed when you said it the first time. Quadspyder (talk) 15:31, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

It's closed as not created. I wonder if there is no prejudice to creating a task force of NBC's Thursday lineup. --George Ho (talk) 16:03, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
- Of course not. The closure makes just clear, that the project wasn't created yet. In other word not created isn't the same as not creatable. Armbrust, B.Ed. WrestleMania XXVIII The Undertaker 20–0 16:06, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
- I guess, I can create it myself, right? --George Ho (talk) 16:08, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
FFU script for AFCH
Hi, I started to develop the FFU script part for the AFCH. An old copy of the gadget (same days, maybe weeks old) with the new improvements can be found at User:Mabdul/afchelper4.1.js. At the moment I'm still working on the design and the options. See also my test sandbox at Wikipedia:Files for upload/sandbox. Any ideas, did I miss something? Feel free to post it here, at my talk page, or at WP:AFCH/DEV if you find anything.
Known issues:
- no checkbox for /recent (will be added in a few minutes)
- one of the headlines doesn't show up (I have no clue why at the moment)
mabdul 19:14, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
- It looks good,
but it doesn't work for me. It doesn't do anything at all (with the exception of the comment function, where it gives "Got token Got Wikipedia:Files for upload/sandbox Saved Wikipedia:Files for upload/sandbox Done (Reload page)", but no edit happens.)Armbrust, B.Ed. WrestleMania XXVIII The Undertaker 20–0 20:02, 13 July 2012 (UTC)- Yeah, as I said: I forked today the AFC/R part and modified it. At the moment I only created so that the design works. The 'underlying code'/backend code will be added in the next few days, although this shouldn't be so hard. I will inform you if it works completely, and after a short beta phase it will be merged to the AFCH gadget! mabdul 20:13, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
Pictures
Hello, Armbrust. You were helpful before, so I am contacting you again about making changes. My account is now confirmed, and I have begun uploading pictures that I have found at many different places in the public domain. Unfortunately, I do not seem to be able to upload past two photos at the moment. Is there a time limit I must wait between each time I put on a picture? Thank you for your time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Today2 (talk • contribs) 02:34, 16 July 2012
- I don't know from such a limit and it looks like from your upload log, that it has been solved. Also note, that publicly available isn't the same as public domain. The copyright holder has to explicitly release their work in to the public domain (or under a free license), otherwise it's copyrighted. Armbrust, B.Ed. WrestleMania XXVIII The Undertaker 20–0 07:23, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
- Yes, I was able to solve the issue. Ok, thank you for clarifying the difference. Would it be better if I categorized the pictures as copyrighted, but with with fair use, as the school knows I am making the changes to this page? While the pictures I am using seem to be widely used, I have informed the school that I would be making these changes. The pictures I am try to reference are those mainly coming from the school itself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Today2 (talk • contribs) 12:05, 16 July 2012
- The school have to release the images, as per the image use policy. For further information see: Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials and Wikipedia:Declaration of consent for all enquiries. If they do this, than the images should be uploaded to our free image repository, the Commons with the {{OTRS pending}} template. You do not need any special permissions to upload there and you can use the same username and password you use here. Armbrust, B.Ed. WrestleMania XXVIII The Undertaker 20–0 12:09, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

Heya Armbrust, Can you please review a small draft for me? Here it is, Ideal Ice Cream, Mangalore. --Vaman Shenoy (talk) 03:55, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

Quick question
Would you happen to know which toolserver will provide the list of articles that I created?-CTS talk 07:19, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
- At the bottom of Special:Contributions/Cntras, there is a link called "Articles created". Click on it and it will list the articles you have created and are currently not a redirects. Armbrust, B.Ed. WrestleMania XXVIII The Undertaker 20–0 08:47, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

Still not confirmed
Hello Armburst, You sent me a welcome message, but my account is still not confirmed, so I still cannot upload my audio. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tarif7 (talk • contribs) 23:39, 18 July 2012
- Welcoming someone doesn't mean they become confirmed. Also WP:Spoken articles should be uploaded to the Commons. That is our free file repository, you do not need any special privileges to upload there and can use the same username and password you use here. Armbrust, B.Ed. WrestleMania XXVIII The Undertaker 20–0 00:15, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for welcoming me. I tried to upload audio but still cannot do it because it says my account has not been confirmed. Is there any way for me to upload my audio for "Phylloquinone"? Thanks (Tarif7 (talk) 00:17, 21 July 2012 (UTC))
- You just need four more edits to become autoconfirmed. Also is there any reason, why you don't want to upload the audio file to Commons? Armbrust, B.Ed. WrestleMania XXVIII The Undertaker 20–0 06:01, 21 July 2012 (UTC)
- Ok thank you, I did not notice your previous answer, I will upload it to Commons. (Tarif7 (talk) 15:09, 21 July 2012 (UTC))
- Added spoken article in external links. Its the Phylloquinone article. Did I link to the article properly? And did I add the spoken article properly? (Tarif7 (talk) 17:12, 21 July 2012 (UTC))

Logo UK EPTC
Hey Armbrust, auf der deutschen Seite gibt es ein Logo zur gerade laufenden UK EPTC. Sollte doch auch in Commons gültig sein, oder? Kommt ja schließlich von WorldSnooker. Kannst du das mal prüfen? Gruß. --LezFraniak (talk) 01:08, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
- Ich denke nicht. Die rechte Seite des Logos ist Komplex genug im Vereinigten Königreich um urheberrechtlich schützen zu können. Nach commons:Threshold of originality#United Kingdom ist sogar dieses Logo viel zu komplex um es in Commons aufladen zu können. Armbrust, B.Ed. WrestleMania XXVIII The Undertaker 20–0 01:16, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
