Peer review

Hello, would you be able to peer review the giant anteater article? LittleJerry (talk) 20:56, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, can you first take a quick look at the Tammar FAC for MOS and comprehensiveness? LittleJerry (talk) 18:30, 4 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

CSD of I Am America EP file

Simply saying "no reason that this cover is significant" is not helpful when I actually gave a reason. Why do you think the rationale I provided is not sufficient? It is the artist's first EP and contains the two songs she is most known for and the source for the caption in the article is a review of the EP so I do not see how its use would fail to satisfy the NFCC. The argument that there is no consensus that an album's cover art should be used on an article not about the album itself seems more like a dispute over the guideline's allowance for cover art under these very circumstances. As such the use of speedy deletion would be inappropriate.--The Devil's Advocate (talk) 18:23, 4 July 2012 (UTC) You have new message/s Hello.

edit war

Please clear up or the edit war that is going on in File:The_Amazing_Spider-Man_theatrical_poster.jpeg or protect the page so they can discuss. They have gone past the limit of edit warring. Jhenderson 777 18:28, 6 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Need some help

Hi! I want to upload some images from Flickr to Commons, such as http://www.flickr.com/photos/popculturegeek/6804835608/ (I plan on using it in At Long Last Leave). As you can see, the images uploaded by that user have been released under the CC BY 2.0 license, but the description says "© 2012 PopCultureGeek.com" and their website says "All rights reserved". So basically it's a bit unclear if the photographer (Doug Kline) was the one who uploaded the images to Flickr (or someone else working for the website), and if he wanted to release them under the CC BY 2.0 license. I therefore emailed the website with this message:

Hi! You have uploaded a bunch of images on Flickr under the Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 Generic (CC BY 2.0) license, which means they can be used by others (I for example want to use some of your Simpsons images on Wikipedia). Was this choice of license intentional or do you actually not want people to use your images?

And Kline (the photographer) responded:

Yes, you can use the images as long as you give credit by saying “photo by Doug Kline” and linking to the original image on Flickr. Thanks.

So now I have evidence that these images can be used on Wikipedia. Is there a way to like "save" this evidence, by forwarding the email conversation to OTRS or something? Theleftorium (talk) 19:46, 6 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have now uploaded one image, File:Simpsons 500th Episode Marathon - the ultimate fans.jpg, but it would be nice to have some OTRS template or something on the file's description page that confirms the license. Theleftorium (talk) 19:59, 6 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I see! I guess the Flickr license is sufficient. By the way, what happens if a Flickr user changes a usable license to All rights reserved? Is it possible to do that? Theleftorium (talk) 13:12, 7 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Makes sense, thanks! Theleftorium (talk) 13:16, 7 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Image query

Hi, I have an image question. These two images, File:Hemingway monument.jpg and File:Floridita.JPG, have been added the Ernest Hemingway pages since it went through an image review at FAC. The first one I've commented out, but basically I'm not certain about either of them because they're statues so need your advice. Thanks. Truthkeeper (talk) 01:02, 7 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

File:The Amazing Spider-Man theatrical poster.jpeg

Hi, J Milburn. I am a little puzzled as to why you decided to full-protect this file and place a warning on the talk page the participants, when I had about five hours earlier decided not to protect the page and had spoken to two of the participants. Was I in error in some way in the way I handled this case? If so, I would have appreciated receiving a note from you as to why you decided to over-ride my decision and handle the matter differently. Regards, -- Dianna (talk) 03:27, 7 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Edit warring on Amazing Spider-Man poster

Hi J. Just wondering why you have sent me a message warning me about edit warring on this poster when the last time I did anything on it was over three weeks ago. Quentin X (talk) 07:59, 7 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the reply, although I would have appreciated it if you had erred on the side of the ummm rather than the ahhh...... Quentin X (talk) 08:22, 7 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah I was wondering if you were sending me a warning too at first. But I am pretty sure you were just trying to be neutral. ;) Jhenderson 777 14:38, 7 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Audio samples

Hi. I reverted your edits to the audio samples I recently uploaded for Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik. Those two are of reduced quality and 30 sec. of the originals (Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Music samples) I've been adding similarly reduced samples to other GAN articles and havent had the issue of reducing them further brought up. Is there a problem with them? Dan56 (talk) 20:32, 10 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, but it's "usually". The point is for them to be reduced, so does 30 more kilo-whatevers a potential copyright issue? Dan56 (talk) 20:40, 10 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Tortuga Bay hotel villas.jpg

Regarding the photo "Tortuga Bay hotel villas.jpg" which I recently uploaded to Wikipedia. Link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Tortuga_Bay_hotel_villas.jpg

Hi there- I'm afraid I was unable to find a statement releasing content into the public domain on the website; could you point me to it? Please reply on my talk page. Thanks, J Milburn (talk) 20:24, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for the message. This is the first time I have uploaded this type of photo to Wiki (all others have been solely my own photos) so I am thinking I did it wrong! I linked to the official website, assuming that would be enough (it shows the photo of Tortuga Bay here: http://www.puntacana.com/picture-gallery/tortuga-bay) however there are no explicit words giving permission to use it. Because the photo is on the official website, free for all eyes to see, would that make it okay to use on Wiki as long as I cite it? Please advise.

Worst case scenario, I just go there (5 minutes from my current location) and take the exact same picture myself, and upload it as my own. Luculence (talk)
