About Philippine Governemnt Seals

Hello Future Perfect at Sunrise,

I was wondering if I could get your advice. See I was browsing city and town articles when I spotted some of their official seal's summary in the source description said's Own Work and also the author claimed by a user. I want to seek your advice. Is this really possible? ---- ^{talk now!} 14:53, 3 July 2011 (UTC+8)

Image licensing

Dear Future Perfect, Anthony Nguyen is my name and that is my photo, however Moo-Hyun Kim is the director of the hospital in question and I am an employee of his. The image for the first file is his property, and he has asked me to upload it. Unfortunately he is not very computer literate, and I'm pretty sure he would be unable to do it. I'm unsure of how to license it appropriately. The other two flagged images are also hospital property, but we are unsure of how to get permission to use them. Please advise if possible.

- Anthony

Are you still watching this? Do you think the poll should close? (Myself, I preferred to give an opinion than make any decision.) All the best, – Quadell ^(talk) 13:10, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, I said I'd be watching this but totally forgot about it. And now I won't be available for another week or so. If anybody wants to close it, they are of course welcome to do so. Fut.Perf. ☼ 08:40, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I don't think I should because I participated in the debate. I suspect no one else wants to close it because they don't want to step on your toes... – Quadell ^(talk) 11:49, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Action required against vandalism

The article Mahindra Racing is being vandalized repeatedly by a certain user by pasting contents from the team's website, not even bothering to reformat it.

I have reverted back the article quite a few times and also specified the reason in detail of rv on the article talk page.

I have observed you doing one rv on the article once, hence I am writing to you to take some action to stop this. Or just suggest me what to do in such scenario.

This is the second time I am writing with the same request, it remained unanswered and went into archive.

Edit: Sorry for being restless, but i have also written to Materialscientist. I noticed he is recent changes patroller, thought vandalism is something of his domain.

Why did you delete my wiki page?

Kmacdoan (talk) 07:17, 2 August 2011 (UTC)I am new to talking to users, I am sorry if this is wrong. Why did you delete my page? I just finished talking with wiki permissions, had the go and than you delete my wiki page. On top of that I didn't have the new informaiton saved on a word. I have to re due everything, which is why I am re posting the text onto my user page. I am REALLY not happy about this. I am going away on a business trip and this assinment is due thursday. I DO NOT HAVE TIME to go back and forth with wiki again. I just did for ONE WHOLE WEEK. So please, tell me what to fix so you wont delete my wiki page. I have followed ALL your guidelines. I am sick of this bs with wiki. Lets fix this problem NOW.Kmacdoan (talk) 07:17, 2 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Upload

Sorry for uploading File:GreenLeavesfront.jpg... I won't do anything like that again.I checked it over, and I didn't see any copyright stuff. But I realized that it was too small, and wanted it deleted. But the main reason that I uploaded that file was to improve the article Green Leaves, that has incorrect dates, and a lot of untrue stuff.Atterion Talk•Contribs 08:02, 2 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. I guess the most important lesson to take away from this is that just because you "don't see any copyright stuff" on a page doesn't mean it's safe to take it. Every image is assumed to be copyrighted by default, even without a copyright notice, and it needs an explicit licensing statement to release it for free use, not the other way round.

Good luck with the fun!!

I have removed your latest personal attack against Fastily here [1]. At this point, you need to take two or three steps back from this whole situation, because you come across as being on a WP:IDIDNTHEARTHAT rampage, and you're not looking good. You may well think that it would have been inappropriate for Fastily to block you, but he had every right of warning you that a block would be likely if you continued, and I'm repeating this warning now (and I, in fact, will have no compunction carrying out such a block too if necessary). Fut.Perf. ☼ 08:43, 2 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

He's made several very serious lies against me. I have asked him to retract them, he has refused. If you want to, I'd welcome an arbcom review into which of the two of us has abused their position more. I called him a liar for saying he'd block me, that he was intimidated, and that i fabricated licensing information. These are all false, these are all one the record, and two out of the three are demonstrably false.

That said, I've had enough of dealing with your copyright crusade tonight. Perhaps you can draw up a petition of the admins and I'll leave permanently, if that's for the best. Everybody burns out, and when I spent four hours finding a picture to have it deleted without discussion, knowing a LOT about copyright law and how legal the use was, perhaps I went from "mature" to "burnt out".

You can't take hours of someone's life and delete it. Oh, if they were in bad faith, fine. If it doesn't belong in the article, fine. If it was a highly requested image??? and work was put into it?? and you delete it for unpredictable, obscure reasons?

That just convinces me to not invest any serious time in the projects. Four years ago, seven years ago, this didn't happen. I knew the rules, the rules were followed. Now, it's just a testosterone filled mess where law and common sense have given way to shouting and mindless bureaucracy.

And I guess we've all done our part and making this place a little less welcoming and open today. Fewer image uploads, less trust, and worse articles. Good work all round. --Alecmconroy (talk) 09:03, 2 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
