Re: Image sleuthing
Thanks! This image sleuthing is a lot of fun. Foobaz·✐ 05:23, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Hi. I can't tag the above image because I can't remember where I got it from on the net! I think it might have been from sxc.hu, with its licence at first glance resembling public domain (but on closer inspection actually imposing usage limitations in the wording of the terms of use). Maybe it's best to just delete it. What do you think? - Mark 06:55, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Image Copyright Status
Hi there, All images by the US government are released into the public domain and can be used in the Wikipedia. But are images lower government structures, such as individual states, counties, and cities/towns released into the public domain as well? It would seem to make sense, but I don't want to tag any images wrongly, and make a copyright problem here.
Actually, the image is question is Image:Allapattah Library.jpg. I marked as a imagevio, since I saw the website is was taken from was copyrighted by Miami-Dade County in Florida. Is that correct, or not? Thanks. Bratsche(talk) 22:58, Mar 5, 2005 (UTC)
Screenshots
I noticed you edited the CE pages pictures to reflect fair use only. For the sake of putting this long running issues to rest, would the fairuse clause also extend to ships in the different universes, or is this because all pictures originate from the same sorce? I ask because user 132.whatever-the-rest-of-it-was made mention that he hadn't gotten to the UC ships yet, and I definatly do not want a repeat of the CE ship fiasco.

- The CE picture that you corrected are on their respective pages off the templete {Cosmic Era ship classes}. The UC pictures can be founded in thier related articles off the templete {Universal Century ship classes}. Note that some articles- like the salamis and musai pages- have more than one picture on them because of the different ship types due to refits and such. Thanks in Advance. TomStar81
Request for apology
Please consider finding a way, any way to restore http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image%3AColeo1(s).jpg
.jpg){kind=link}
And seriously consider making public apologies for deleting images without asking their author first, even though you know perfectly their author since you come on their own personal pages to remove the links to the iamges as well.

And yet, when I deleted two images that you had uploaded, I was chastised.
- I do not deny your work. I just regret that you deny other people work.
Even though the images were not used on any articles in Wikipedia. Even though the only reason they existed on Wikipedia, apparently, was that you like them.
- I work on several projects at the same time. But mostly on the french wikipedia. I did not do all my articles in double. Some of these images were initially in articles, some have been removed. Some are only in articles on the french wikipedia, but I apparently very stupidely thought I could upload them at the same time on the english wikipedia because that could be of use here as well. I am pleased that they are here, I would be even more pleased that they are used, believe me. The reason I uploaded them is not only that I like them, but because I have the weakness to think they can be useful one day. A couple of these insect images, I hesitated selling them. Ie, making money with them. I did not. I stupidely gave them to Wikipedia. Because I liked them and believed in the project.
Even though you had been asked multiple times by several different users to tag your images, but have so far declined, expecting someone else to "run a bot" and do your work for you.
- yes, stupidely expecting. Actually, have you any idea of the time I spend daily doing work, sometimes very boring work, for *you*, so that to try that this project work ? Most of the time, I have pleasure to do it, but this does not hide the fact often the work I do is for you all, so, yes, somehow, I feel not ashamed to please ask that someone run a bot on them for me. This is something frequently done on the french wikipedia for users who uploaded a lot of images.
Even though the images themselves clearly indicated that you did not take the photos and presumably did not own the copyright, and there was no indication that the copyright holder approved of their use on Wikipedia.
- The last picture you deleted was absolutely mine. Only the little bunch of images where I had the weakness to thank the original author were not mine. All the other images are mine, and you have no reason to doubt this. A couple are my husband, but I do think I already labelled them. When I upload an image, I at the same time agree to put it under gfdl. If I engage myself to do so, and claim to be the author of the picture, the least you can do is to accept willingly that indeed i am the author of this image and that indeed, if I agreed to put them under gfdl, they might by default be under gfdl. I think this is a minimum. Where I a totally unknown editor, I might understand your unwillingness to trust an editor by default, by in my case, I think it is ludicrous to consider that by default I cheated.
If you want your images kept, please tag them. If you're unwilling to tag them, then don't expect others to care for your images more than you do. I am available for mediation if you think it appropriate.
- No. I will not tag my images. At this point, it is a matter of principle. As you say, many are not used so they are basically not useful. I will save them on my computer, and you are free to delete them as much as you wish from now on. Give me 2 weeks to save them all.
But it is this focus on the negative – this tendency to chastise rather than thank – that gets good, hard-working people to leave Wikipedia.
- Absolutely. There are people who are so busy paining editors by destroying their work and not apologizing, that it gets good, hard-working people to leave Wikimedia. You are correct.
