User_talk:Digory_Piper#File_permission_problem_with_File:Jean_Louise_Carré_Hadaway.jpg

Hello Ron

This concerns your email message to me. Please see my email reply, as follows:

This photo was taken in 1929. I am the great grandson of the subject, Jean Louise Carré Hadaway. The photo was taken by her husband, William Snelling Hadaway (and the subject of the Wiki article), my great grandfather. He died in 1941. It was left by him to his daughter Hilary Stella Mary Snelling Hadaway, who was also his executor (see attached .jpeg) and also my great aunt. I was her heir and executor upon her death in 1995. The photo is now my property.

I have attached a scan of the document showing that my late great aunt was granted probate.

I hope this addresses your concerns.

@Digory Piper: Part of the problem, is that you uploaded it locally. English wiki does not have the range of useful license templates that are available on commons (as we don't expect free images here any more). On commons I could use c:Template:PD-old-auto-unpublished with a death year of 1941, but it's not available here. I've tidied it up the best I can here. When I get time, I'll move it to commons and change the template. Ronhjones  (Talk) 00:26, 14 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I've imported it to Commons. The license for c:File:William Snelling Hadaway 1872-1941.jpg also needs to be corrected. — JJMC89 (T·C) 06:49, 14 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Digory Piper: - Do you know who took the photo of File:William Snelling Hadaway 1872-1941.jpg? and when they died? Ronhjones  (Talk) 17:57, 14 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Voth Image

Hi Ron,

The owner of the photograph gave me permission to use his photograph, through email.

And I have forwarded that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

Please let me know if you need any further action from my side.

Thank you.

@SDE1492: You will find that permissions will not accept forwarded e-mails - too easy to fake. They will need to get something direct from the copyright holder. Changed the banner to the correct otrs pending for you Ronhjones  (Talk) 18:39, 14 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Ronhjones: Thank you for changing the banner for me. I can have Prof. Voth email permissions. Would that suffice? Thank you. SDE1492
@SDE1492: You need the copyright holder to e-mail the permissions. Now that does not look like a selfie to me, so the copyright belongs to the photographer, unless there is a written formal transfer of copyright. It's never easy uploading someone else's images. Ronhjones  (Talk) 19:47, 14 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Ronhjones: You are aboslutely correct it's not a selfie. I will contact Prof. Voth and the photographer to send the license permission emailed to permissoins. Thank you. SDE1492

Voth Image

Thank you for changing the banner for me. I can have Prof. Voth email permissions.

Would that suffice?

Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SDE1492 (talk • contribs) 18:49, 14 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@SDE1492: Who took the picture? That's probably who needs to send in the permission. Ronhjones  (Talk) 23:06, 14 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Edwin D. Fuller Draft Page Deleted

Hi there Ron, I see that you deleted the draft of Edwin D. Fuller. I have been working closely with the admin Jimfbleak to restore a previous article for Edwin D. Fuller. It wasn't done yet and I had been working on it for weeks to get it where it needs to be. I didn't know that a draft could be deleted. It simply wasn't ready yet but I would like to get the content back so I can continue making changes and corrections. Could you help me get the draft back please? I would really appreciate it. And your notes/comments with errors/issues are welcome because I could use the help. Thank you! Imjustvisiting (talk) 22:54, 14 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Imjustvisiting: Not deleting admin - 19:07, 13 December 2018 RHaworth deleted page Draft:Edwin D. Fuller (G12: Unambiguous copyright infringement of http://edwinfuller.com/about/). Unlikely to be restored as too much data is a word for word copy. The web page would need a copyright release - currently the bottom of the page says "Designed by 4Front Branding | All rights reserved". We cannot use that data with that license, all Wikipedia pages, including Drafts must not have a copyright issue. Ronhjones  (Talk) 23:05, 14 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about that. I will ask RHaworth for assistance. I can get the copyright approved. Thank you! Imjustvisiting (talk) 04:36, 16 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Nutrient absorption to blood and lymph2.png

A tag has been placed on File:Nutrient absorption to blood and lymph2.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F10 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a file that is not an image, sound file or video clip (e.g. a Word document or PDF file) that has no encyclopedic use.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. ‑‑V.S.(C)(T) 06:58, 15 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Tech News: 2018-51

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Tech News

  • Because of the holidays the next issue of Tech News will be sent out on 7 January 2019.

Recent changes

  • Some templates that show notices about the content of the page will now be shown on the mobile website. In many cases they were hidden before. [1][2]
  • Admins can no longer unblock themselves, except for self-blocks. A blocked admin can block the user who blocked them but no one else. This is so no one can block all admins on a wiki without being stopped. [3]
  • Advanced item The ParserMigration extension has been removed. It compared the result of two versions of the MediaWiki wikitext parsing pipeline. It was used when we moved to the Remex parsing library instead of Tidy.

Problems

  • <ref> tags can use parameters such as "name" or "group". For example <ref name="adams" group="books">. If a <ref> tag has more than two parameters all parameters are ignored. You don't get a warning that they don't work. This will soon be fixed. [4]

Changes later this week

  • Recurrent item The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 18 December. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 19 December. It will be on all wikis from 20 December (calendar).

Meetings

Future changes

  • The Wikimedia Foundation Android app team are working on making it easier to edit on mobile phones. You can read more about these plans. If you have an Android phone and speak at least two languages you can help testing in English. Tell Dchen (WMF) you want to be part of the testing by writing on her talk page or email her.
  • Advanced item tiles.wmflabs.org and wma.wmflabs.org will stop working. They have no maintainers and run an old operating system. Tools which use it could stop working. This includes the mapnik gadget, hill shading, and hike and bike layers. New maintainers could help out and keep it going. [5]

Merry Merry

Happy Christmas!
Hello R,
Early in A Child's Christmas in Wales the young Dylan and his friend Jim Prothero witness smoke pouring from Jim's home. After the conflagration has been extinguished Dylan writes that

Nobody could have had a noisier Christmas Eve. And when the firemen turned off the hose and were standing in the wet, smoky room, Jim's Aunt, Miss. Prothero, came downstairs and peered in at them. Jim and I waited, very quietly, to hear what she would say to them. She said the right thing, always. She looked at the three tall firemen in their shining helmets, standing among the smoke and cinders and dissolving snowballs, and she said, "Would you like anything to read?"

My thanks to you for your efforts to keep the 'pedia readable in case the firemen chose one of our articles :-) Best wishes to you and yours and happy editing in 2019. MarnetteD|Talk 19:55, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I am the user Seetmusic, the image I uploaded as Seet logo is my own product, therefore, i am confused on the actions taken to delete the uploaded item? thanks let me know so I can better understand how to avoided this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Seetmusic (talk • contribs) 00:51, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Seetmusic:Logos can either be
  1. Non-free - see Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Non-free_logo and pick a few logo pages to see how they are set up. Note they can ONLY be used in full articles, no Drafts.
  2. Free - the permission will have to be verified by the OTRS team at WP:CONSENT

Hermitage Community Moorings

Hi, hadn't checked this for (way) too long. I would like to re-instantiate the page if that's possible? I am happy to rewrite it if needed, and have new content to update with too (2019 is its 10th anniversary).

The reason cited for deletion was re-using 'copyright material'. I wrote the copy for the Hermitage Community Moorings website and reused it for the wikipedia entry. I didn't flag this at the time (and wasn't sure how to).

Very happy to take any guidance you might have on what we should do.

many thanks in advance, Gavin Starks (talk) 07:14, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

(http://www.hermitagemoorings.com/hermitage-community-moorings/about/)

@Gavin Starks: Three choices.
  1. Get rid of the "Copyright 2015 HRM / HCP | All Rights Reserved" in the page footer and replace with "Copyright 2015 HRM / HCP | CC-BY-SA-4.0" - quick and easy - let let me know when done.
  2. Get the copyright holder to go to WP:CONSENT - from an identifying e-mail domian (like XXX@hermitagemoorings.com - hotmail, gmail, etc., are wasting your time), state which pages (or the whole site) are copyright released. The backlog is 98 days to process.
  3. Complete re-write, where it has all been written not to match the web site (full re-write only, a close paraphrase is no good)
Note that 1 and 2 have exactly the same effect. If the footer is changed, then the page can be re-used by anyone. If you send in permission, then the page will be listed on the article talk page for re-use by anyone. Ronhjones  (Talk) 18:15, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Association footballers not categorized by position

Your bot, RonBot, is repeatedly adding Category:Association footballers not categorized by position to Icelandic basketball players, mostly players who played for the Breiðablik men's basketball team and the Breiðablik women's basketball team. Can you take a look at it? Dammit_steve (talk) 15:07, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Dammit steve: Will do. It might take a while to track it down. I suspect someone has added a bad category somewhere - the bot starts by making a list of everything in...
  • Category:Footballers by city or town
  • Category:Association football players by club
  • Category:Association football players by competition
  • Category:Association football players by country
  • Category:Association football players by national team
  • Category:Association football players by nationality
  • Category:Women's association football players
  • Category:Expatriate association football players
There are categories in those, so there is a lot of drilling down and there are 14488 categories, with 164599 players. Somewhere there is a link to your players. Ronhjones  (Talk) 17:23, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Dammit steve: - Found it. Category:Footballers in Iceland by club has a subcategory of Category:Breiðablik UBK players - someone has added Category:Breiðablik men's basketball players‎ and Category:Breiðablik women's basketball players to this football category. I would suggest we remove those two basketball categories from Category:Breiðablik UBK players.
@Ronhjones: Great work. I agree with removing the basketball categories from Category:Breiðablik UBK players. Dammit_steve (talk) 10:01, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Dammit steve: Cats removed. All the players with Category:Association footballers not categorized by position have been fixed. Ronhjones  (Talk) 16:04, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Lower protection level of List of Holby City characters

Hi Ron, could you take a look at List of Holby City characters and consider lowering the protection level? The semi protection expired in August, but you never set an expiry date for the PC protection; was that intentional? If so, you can leave it, but it seems like the sock puppetry has resolved so it may be useful to update the PC log if that's the case. Wugapodes [thɑk] [ˈkan.ˌʧɹɪbz] 07:39, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, it was intentional. It does tend to keep the vandals away. We'll try it without. Do come back if problem starts again. Ronhjones  (Talk) 16:09, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Clifton Bush football cat

Hi. Can you please have your bot discontinue adding Category:Association footballers not categorized by position to Clifton Bush. Clifton Bush is a former basketball player, not a football player. Thanks. DaHuzyBru (talk) 11:36, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@DaHuzyBru: Now fixed - see post "Association footballers not categorized by position" above for reasons. Ronhjones  (Talk) 16:07, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There are a large number of pictures that I took myself to contribute to Wikipedia that got deleted due to copyright reasons, including some from my book, "Intelligent Image Processing", and some that I just took on my rooftop blue roof + green roof space. Can you help me understand why they were deleted?

William Snelling Hadaway 1872-1941

Hello Ron, Sorry I've only just picked up your replies concerning these photos.

No I'm afraid I don't know who took the photo of William Snelling Hadaway. It was taken in India around 1914-15 (and is out of copyright), it was almost certainly taken by a studio photographer in Madras/Chennai for WSH. It was his property, inherited by his daughter and then by me.

I hope everything is OK now. I'm new to this!
