Garlicoin Logo - Continuation

Hi JBchrch! I was inquiring about the Garlicoin logo/svg I uploaded to wikimedia commons and you said to reach out to you here if you hadn't replied by the 5th.

" Hi again ItsOkayImHere, I moved the discussion to your talk page so as not to bother other people at the WikiProject.

Regarding the logo, it's a somewhat complicated process, so I'll have to get back to you with a small explainer about this stuff. Please write me a reminder on my talk if I haven't done so on 5 July (in one week). JBchrch talk 15:24, 28 June 2021 (UTC)"

Thanks for helping out! ItsOkayImHere (talk) 00:32, 8 July 2021 (UTC)

Hi ItsOkayImHere, thanks a lot for the reminder. So strap in. Basically with logos you have two options: you can either upload them as a public domain image to Wikimedia Commons or you can upload them as a faire use file on en.Wikipedia. In other words, you can only upload them to Wikimedia Commons if they are in the public domain, which means that they are not copyrighted. If they are copyrighted, you have to upload them to Wikipedia, and your file will be subject to the restrictions of WP:F and WP:FUC.

Now, how do you know if a logo is copyrighted or not? Well, that's where the lines get blurry: for American logos (I'm not going to address logos from other countries at this time), you have to apply the threshold of originality according to US copyright law.

Looking at the Garlicoin logo, I would say (but this is not legal advice btw, only an intuitive indication) that it does not meet the threshold of originality of US copyright law, and therefore it can be uploaded to Commons.

Now, shit's not over yet, because now we have to choose a copyright tag to add to the image, otherwise the Commons admins will delete our images. For logos, you will generally have to use the {{PD-textlogo}} and {{Trademark}} tags. I will not go into details about how you do that, however, if you run into problems, please let me know and I will be happy to help. JBchrch talk 09:55, 8 July 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for getting back @JBchrch: - I think I figured it out, commons deleted my first version because I didn't add a license tag right away. I found a better source here: Github Grlc Logo License which included a GNU license that has a prebuilt tag I could add while uploading {GPLv3}. Hopefully that should allow it to stay up this time!

DYK for Lohn Estate

On 10 July 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Lohn Estate, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that official guests of the Swiss Confederation stayed at the Lohn Estate, a manor in Kehrsatz, in the Canton of Bern, between 1942 and 1994? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Lohn Estate. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Lohn Estate), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

New page reviewer granted

Hi JBchrch. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers" user group. Please check back at WP:PERM in case your user right is time limited or probationary. This user group allows you to review new pages through the Curation system and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or nominate them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is vital to maintaining the integrity of the encyclopedia. If you have not already done so, you must read the tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the deletion policy. If you need any help or want to discuss the process, you are welcome to use the new page reviewer talk page. In addition, please remember:

• Be nice to new editors. They are usually not aware that they are doing anything wrong. Do make use of the message feature when tagging pages for maintenance so that they are aware.
• You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted. Please be formal and polite in your approach to them – even if they are not.
• If you are not sure what to do with a page, don't review it – just leave it for another reviewer.
• Accuracy is more important than speed. Take your time to patrol each page. Use the message feature to communicate with article creators and offer advice as much as possible.

The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you also may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In cases of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, or long-term inactivity, the right may be withdrawn at administrator discretion. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 20:43, 12 July 2021 (UTC)

WAX

I would like more comment about this revision. Do you want to provide information about WAX network being notable or those games? It's not like I care about this to be included, but it's not like FLOW and Tezos is so much more well-known (provided sources briefly mentions them). I originally wanted to update "Games" section, not just include WAX, but the whole article seems little bit outdated as NFT is fast growing sector lately, so there should be done a lot of work anyway. --GreenZeb (talk) 20:15, 25 July 2021 (UTC)
