Not sure what to do

Wikipedia:Today's featured article/July 23, 2009 has its main links wrong - it should be Alien vs. Predator (film) - Wikipedia:Main Page/Errors is not for reporting this and Talk:Main Page seems neither. Hekerui (talk) 11:18, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nevermind, some admin saw the mistake. Hekerui (talk) 21:14, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

EATPUT.jpg

File:EATPUT.jpg –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 19:19, 22 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You removed the file EATPUT.jpg from wikimedia commons. I have two problems, one I am not sure how to get the file back (I am not sure if I still have a copy of it), and two, I am not sure how to properly give the licensing information. I scanned a page from a textbook with permission from the author.Mwv2 (talk) 15:41, 21 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. File:EATPUT.jpg was uploaded to Wikipedia (not Wikimedia Commons), just to clarify that. Anyway, the content of the page was: "Scan from a book, fair use", along with {{Don't know}} and {{No license needing editor assistance}}. This image actually had a number of possible copyright problems, based on the page content, the image, and what you've just said. First, it didn't have an image copyright tag, which is required by all images. Assuming that it was a fair-use image, as a scan of a book, then it would also need a fair-use rationale explaining why it means all of the non-free content criteria. Finally, evidence of permission needs to be shown; unfortunately, due to the very large number of users who claim they have permission to upload something even when they don't, we have a process for officially requesting and confirming the permission (if the book is old enough to be in the public domain, you can instead verify this by simply supplying the book's title, which would be a good idea anyway). Wikipedia's copyright policies are probably one of the most complicated areas of the wiki, unfortunately, due to legal concerns.

Anyway, I'll be happy to restore the image if you think that you could fix these issues, although it will be deleted again at some point if they aren't resolved. If you want a copy on your local computer, I'll also restore it so that you can copy it back, but unless you fix these problems you shouldn't upload it again.

I hope that that clarifies things! –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 19:19, 22 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Extend left aligned [edit] section links

There has been a request if your [edit] section gadget could work with the editsection for section 0 gadget. It should be fairly easy I think. It's just that firstHeading is outside of bodyContent —TheDJ (talk • contribs) 20:14, 21 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have forwarded this to Cacycle... he completely rewrote the code of the script, and would know more how to fix this at this point. –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 19:08, 22 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Pool of Radiance

Hey there, busy anymore? :) Got any help to lend to good ol' Pool of Radiance? :) BOZ (talk) 00:01, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ayup, still busy... but I should have a bit more time. I'll work on Pool of Radiance while Ratchet & Clank is waiting in the GAN queue. –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 00:20, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Woohoo! I was hoping so, which is why I suggested it when I did. :) I'd ask Peregrine, but he'll probably be busy with the EttBP FAC. Eh, I'll ask him anyway. ;) BOZ (talk) 00:23, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Picture of Nevinny

File:V nevinn.jpg –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 17:16, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I took the picture of an actor from the corresponding article in Russian Wikipedia. What should I do next? JackofDiamonds1 (talk) 17:14, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You'll need to link to the page on the Russian Wikipedia where it came from and add an appropriate image copyright tag, which should match the license used on ru.wp. –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 17:16, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Gavin Rain

File:Gavin rain painting detail3.jpg –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 17:57, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi - added copyright status to gavin_rain_painting_detail3.jpg on the Gavin Rain page. Would you mind checking it out to see if all is in order now? Thanks Dave gurney (talk) 17:51, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That's certainly better, however, there is still one problem: We need evidence that you received permission to release this image under that license. Unless you obtain permission from the artist, the image is still copyrighted and so you wouldn't be able to release it under a free license. Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission has details on how to go about this. In the meantime, I've added a tag indicating this to the image page. –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 17:57, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Drilnoth, Read the page and sent the permissions that I obtained from the artist through to: permissions-en@wikimedia.org. Is this correct? Dave gurney (talk) 18:05, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think that that is how it works, yes. If you don't get a response in a few days feel free to let me know! –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 18:07, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

ok should I leave the tag up in the mean time while they get verified then?Dave gurney (talk) 18:23, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You could probably remove the tag and add {{OTRS pending}} to indicate that you sent the email. –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 18:25, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

ok added {{OTRS pending}} to each of the file pages. - Dave gurney (talk) 19:30, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Great! Thanks. –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 19:59, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop posting to my talk page, I get the picture. Dreadstar † 18:09, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Okay; sorry. When I notice your name in the future I'll try and remember to uncheck the "notify initial contributor" box. –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 18:10, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect tag?

Hello Drilnoth

Your tagging for the deletion of Birra Korca poster might be wrong

Could you link to the image in question? I'm not sure which one you are talking about. Thanks. –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 21:28, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Birra Korca

Hi Drilnoth.

i would have done the linkage if i was that savvy. Still working on it.

I am talking about these pages: The one that you did mark for deletion is:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Birra_Korca_poster.jpg from this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birra_Korca

This photo is taken from:

http://sq.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skeda:Birra_Kor%C3%A7a.JPG

which exist in this public domain:

http://sq.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kategoria:Domain_publike_-_Foto

I think that the confusion comes from the letter "ç" which do not exist in english language boards

Jupiter 2009 impact

Why did you delete the two images? I have not had time to deal with the equally stupid allegations of copyright vio issue yet you act as though you are the sole arbiter of such things. Get a life. Albatross2147 (talk) 22:53, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Why don't you discuss things with other editors before acting???? You just wast other people's time. There is NO copyright violation with those two images. Albatross2147 (talk) 22:56, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
