admin

Hey. As you are aware, Wikipedia is someone short on image patrollers, especially when it comes to image admins. Seeing your edits, I think you were be a great candidate for adminship over at WP:RFA. I'd gladly nom you if you wanted to take the plunge, let me know of your decision. Wizardman 16:36, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, thanks! I would love to be an admin, but considering my views on non-free content, I'm not sure I would gain enough votes. Specifically, I've been trying for months to relax the ban on our use of the International Symbol of Access outside the confines of fair use, and upset some of editors in the process. A few editors screamed that this was in violation of Foundation:Resolution:Licensing policy, even though that document isn't very clear on the issue. So, I'd probably rather wait until the Wikimedia Board elections are over. With luck, a favorable candidate (Michael Snow, DragonFire1024, Kingboyk) will be elected who will clarify for us that the decision is up to us, rather than another candidate who endorses the Wikimedia Foundation's current position that copyright is a form of government suppression. So, a favorable clarification would help make my adminship more likely.
So, to summarize all that: I'd rather wait and see if the Board elections help prevent people from voting against me, saying that I'm against the Foundation. I really do appreciate the offer, and hope that you will keep it open to me. —Remember the dot (talk) 18:36, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Very well then. I got another nom I'm putting up today or tomorrow, so I'll wait until after the elections pass. Just let me know when/if you're ready. Wizardman 23:10, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
OK, thank you. —Remember the dot (talk) 00:25, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Clearly by-permission only images at WP:PUI

Hey Remember the dot, I've noticed lately that you've been listing images tagged with Template:Copyrighted at WP:PUI. PUI is for possibly unfree images; if an image is definitely unfree, it should be listed at WP:IFD, where it will be discussed if the image meets the non-free content criteria. Cheers, Iamunknown 23:38, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Until recently, we were allowed to use {{PUInonfree}} to allow more than 5 days to investigate whether or not the copyright holder was willing to relicense. Still, I'll keep your comments in mind in the future. —Remember the dot (talk) 00:47, 6 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, I was unaware of that. You may interested in the deletion discussion for the template. --Iamunknown 02:49, 6 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have nominated this page for deletion, as I believe it is no longer necessary. – Tivedshambo (talk) 22:39, 6 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Imaginary Barnstar!

Thanks for correcting Image:DDwrt.v23.sp2.png I was lazy and just shoved the closest license I could think of on it. So now, lazy again, I award you the imaginary barn star for doing what I did not feel like doing. The imaginary barn star is the filled with ideas not finished, and requires you to put mental effort into seeing it, I hope you see it clearly. Once again, Thank You!--63.88.124.135 02:08, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome :D (and the imaginary barnstar looks fabulous in my mind) —Remember the dot (talk) 03:05, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Non-free use disputed for Image:Ads positioning.png

My mistake, overlooked that. It's now been fixed.

BrownsFanForLife 23:05, 14 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, would you care to tell me what to do? I've never met the author of this picture, we just talk online. We met on the Myachi forum. I asked if he had a picture of Finger Chux, that I could put on the Myachi website. He said yeah, and sent it to me. He said I could use that image on the article. How am I supposed to quote an AIM conversation? There's no way to source that, you just have to take me word for it. That's the problem with this damn site, no one trusts anyone. He told me I could use it, he sent it to me. But no one gives two shits unless I have solid proof, which I most certainly do not.

There's no copyright. I had to BS that. He took a picture, saved it to his computer, and later sent it to me. There's no tag for that now, is there? -- BrownsFanForLife 23:22, 14 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Okay, thank you.

FINALLY, someone tells me what to write, where to write it... I'm tired of having to read articles that don't even address my problem. -- BrownsFanForLife 23:30, 14 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well... The Myachi article that's been debated oh-so-much contains pretty much un-source-able info... I don't know if I've spoken to you about it, because I've had to talk to like a million people... But anyway, most of the info is spread by word-of-mouth, and the few sources I would be able to find are mostly online stores. I just need to know what I can do to satisfy everyone's wants in regards to sourcing the info, while preventing the deletion of the article -- BrownsFanForLife 23:35, 14 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well I have sources, but someone said they're unreliable because it's the website of the product itself. The only other sources are online stores that describe the product being sold (in this case, Myachi). I guess there's just some problem with those sites, and no one sees them as reliable -- BrownsFanForLife 23:41, 14 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is it meant to be like that?

Is the page Template X1 supposed to be replaced with that stuff? Are you just experimenting? If so, then I sincerely apologize, and I'll leave it alone. Savie Kumara 19:03, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm just experimenting, don't worry about it. —Remember the dot (talk) 19:09, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image formatting

Hi, Remember the dot. I re-reverted Br'er Fox image formatting changes because they are in keeping with the Manual of Style. The MoS reads:

The current image mark up is, for landscape-format and square images:
[[Image:picture.jpg|thumb|right|Insert caption here]]
and for portrait-format images:
[[Image:picture.jpg|thumb|upright|right|Insert caption here]]

I can't find any good explanation for what the "upright" marker does, but it seems to adjust the size of the image so that it takes up roughly the same area as a horizontally-aligned image. — Brian (talk) 23:00, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I stand corrected. Even so, I would prefer removing the "upright" keyword to allow for a better side-by-side comparison. If the 1881 image is too small, it's hard to compare it to the Disney one. —Remember the dot (talk) 23:40, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Well, they seem to have the same visual weight when the "upright" marker is used, so I think it should be OK. If we remove the "upright" tag, it seems to make the 1800s image overwhelm the Disney one. (That said, visual aesthetics are hardly set in stone or something that can be done with computer code, so let me know if you disagree!) — Brian (talk) 23:49, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I completely agree with your assertion that the article is copied. Previous to my former edit, it was in first person. Although she is notable under Wikipedia's guidelines, there are not many external sources detailing her life beyond the biography given on the ZoeGirl website. If you find anything, I'd be happy to work it into the article. Thanks, lovelaughterlife♥talk? 18:03, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
