File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Wais4 example question.jpg

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Wais4 example question.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status and its source. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously.

If you did not create this work entirely yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. You will also need to state under what licensing terms it was released. Please refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file.

Please add this information by editing the image description page. If the necessary information is not added within the next seven days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 07:43, 11 November 2015 (UTC)

You cannot copyright license that which has no copyright. Did you not see the comment to file? It explicitly states: "This is a single questionnaire item which is considered a functional device and thus has no copyright (see 37 C.F.R. 202.1(b) and (c))." I find it a little hard to believe that this issue has never come up before, especially since, as you say, "Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously." Anyhow, maybe you can get Wikipedia's administrators to add this option to the license menu, but no need to rush on my account, it's not a big deal to me either way.--TDJankins (talk) 08:35, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

History Section on SAT Page

Hi, TDJankins. That's a reasonable suggestion, thank you, perhaps the tie-in is clearer to me than the reader. My thinking is: This is one part of the article where a discussion of somewhat peripheral information is hard to avoid; after all, it concerns the history of the SAT and (as in particular, the few sentences in question) how it came to be, before the SAT itself existed.

Universities are colleges, correct?

Hi. I started a discussion on talk:SAT about the understanding that universities are in the category of colleges, so I propose a rewording that got reverted. Will you please give us your input on this, and perhaps revert the reversion? Thanks! Thayve Sintar (talk) 04:16, 5 November 2017 (UTC)

Cal Poly name

Hi TDJankins and thank you for your edits to both Cal Poly articles. There have been various discussions in the past about the use of the name "Cal Poly" in the Cal Poly Pomona article talk page, in the Cal Poly San Luis Obispo article, and in the in the Cal Poly (disambiguation) talk page. These discussion go back well over a decade now and the general consensus is that for academic pages, "Cal Poly" is an ambiguous term that may refer to either college. For example, Cal Poly Universities Rose Float is the name of the rose float both universities put together and it's not referred to the "Cal Poly and Cal Poly Pomona Rose Float". For sports contexts CPSLO trademarked the term "Cal Poly" and CPP trademarked "Cal Poly Pomona" and "CPP", hence the pages Cal Poly Mustangs and Cal Poly Pomona Broncos. The ultimate, third party (and legal owner of the term "Cal Poly") is the CSU Chancellor's office which, in its Branding Standards Guide uses "Cal Poly San Luis Obispo" for California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo and "Cal Poly Pomona" and "CPP" for California State Polytechnic University, Pomona. I hope this clarifies why I will revert some of your edits. Regards, Chlorineer (talk) 16:07, 9 February 2018 (UTC)

Nope, the term Cal Poly is owned by Cal Poly and not just for sports purposes, but for general education purposes as well. See:

http://tmsearch.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=doc&state=4801:onrzzr.2.5

and

http://tmsearch.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=doc&state=4801:onrzzr.2.3

The second one clarifies who "The Trustees of the California State University" is, if the address didn't already make it abundantly clear ("The Trustees of the California State University AKA California Polytechnic State University").

Cal Poly has never referred to Cal Poly Pomona since Cal Poly Pomona's inception in 1966. The Pomona campus was only called Cal Poly when that real estate was part of Cal Poly between 1949-1966. Cal Poly Pomona explicitly says to never refer to it as just Cal Poly. https://www.cpp.edu/~graphicstandards/identity/nomenclature.shtml --TDJankins (talk) 02:40, 10 February 2018 (UTC)
