New pic

Parev Aivazovsky, I uploaded a new pic of Tsitsenakapert Genocide memorial. If you want you can use it in your genocide userbox. This one won't cause trouble, it was taken by a friend of mine and he relases it so it could be used. It's a pic from the inside, with the flame. Check it out - Fedayee 19:53, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Template:Countries and regions in Caucasia

Hi Aivazovsky,

(This version is easier to follow.)

How about a version without the nonaligned flag icons as even easier to follow...?  The larger map images might assist too... What do you think...?  Yours, David Kernow (talk) 16:05, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

...Just spotted your reinstatement of the above. I've tweaked some of the formatting (spacing, font-size) to try to make the template's layout clearer. Hope you approve, David (talk) 20:05, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Just so you know

I created a new article on the Nakhichevan monuments [Khachkar destruction in Nakhichevan] and fixed the redirects from the Julfa article. --MarshallBagramyan 19:56, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

Redirects

Why? Khoikhoi 20:07, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

I think this is too complex for speedy deletion, can you please try WP:CFD instead? Khoikhoi 20:24, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

1915 never again...

Barev Aivazovsky, I uploaded two more pics of Tsitsernakapert (both taken by a friend of mine who let me use it). This and this, this should stop the purge of the pictures. May their souls rest in peace. - Fedayee 02:23, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

SovietFlag.jpg

I've removed the "film" copyright tag from the jpg of the soviet flag... from that copyright license:

This image is a screenshot from a copyrighted film, and the copyright for it is most likely owned by the studio which produced the film, and possibly also by any actors appearing in the screenshot. It is believed that the use of a limited number of web-resolution screenshots for identification and critical commentary on the film and its contents.

1. The film isn't identified
2. The image is not being used for identification and critical commentary on the film and its contents.

Thanks. /Blaxthos 16:29, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

fair use

You used a screenshot for Taner Ackman. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Taner_Ak%C3%A7am.jpg

You claimed fair use as no free images were available. I have done the same thing with someone else [2] [Rend al-Rahim Francke] and the wikipedia mafia are onto me. They claim that any picture of a living person is no good because sometime before they die someone might take and freely distribute an image. OF course I think that is complete trash. Do you know of some legal sources that can back me up? As far as I am aware as long as one can't find a pic just because theoreticaly someone thousands of miles away could take a pic, that is no reason to invalidate fair use. Any help on these would really be appreciated.

here is what they wrote on my talk page:

I uploaded [1] There is no public domain photo of Rend al-Rahim Francke. She is normally on TV programs which are of course copyright. She has been to press conferences which are also attended by the media and are again copyright. I cannot take a picture of her myself. There is no freely available picture of her. I spent considerable time looking for one. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Custodiet ipsos custodes (talk • contribs) 22:50, 9 May 2007 (UTC).

I'm sure this person has an existence outside of tv sets and press conferences. Anyway, even in press conferences someone could take a picture and release under a free licensing. We have free images for a lot of celebrities. It's hard, but not impossible. Building a free encyclopedia is not an easy task. --Abu badali (talk) 23:02, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Where should I go to get a free image of Rend al-Rahim Francke? I have looked all over th internet. I looked in the library. All photos were copyrighted. Dick Morris and Bill O'Reilly also use fair use copyrighted images. What is the difference? It is quite legal under fair use to use the photo I used. It conforms to the 1976 copyright act.Custodiet ipsos custodes 23:07, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

No all legally usable images are allowed by our policy on unfree content. As we're building a free encyclopedia, we simply reject unfree images when there's some chance someone would produce a free alternative (as is the case with images of living people).

Don't feel frustrated for being unable to produce/find such free alternative. There's no policy saying every article needs an image. While no usable image is uploaded, the article may go without one. --Abu badali (talk) 23:11, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

In all seriousness why is it ok to have a copyrighted image of Dick Morris and Bill O'Reilly but not Rend al-Rahim Francke? In both cases there are not public domain photos available.

It's not ok. --Abu badali (talk) 23:16, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Image:Taner_Akçam.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Taner_Akçam.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Abu badali ^(talk) 00:56, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Sorry

In the Demographics of Armenia article, I reverted your edits under the idea it was vandalism. I saw "-6,000" some odd characters in Recent Changes, and assumed you were a vandal without any consideration for the actual edit itself. I've reverted my mistake to your last revision, and hope that I did not cause any harm.
