Image copyrights

[edit]

I see you've uploaded Image:Sdkfz 002.jpg and indicated that the copyright holder has released the image for any use. I can't find anything on the website you gave as the source indicating this is the case -- the closest is a clear statement of "all rights reserved". Could you tell me why you think the copyright holder has released all rights? --Carnildo 04:41, 10 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Carnildo, thanks for the heads up. I thought i saw something in that page that would have all rights were released. Im sorry. I'll be more careful next time. Do you have the link to the information page for the image rulings and copyrights? paat 13:07, 10 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
What do you mean? --Carnildo 18:15, 10 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Would there be an article in Wikipedia to help me chose which rights or rules would work best for images i upload for article? paat 20:05, 10 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
There's no central location for this. Probably the best place is Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for a list of copyright tags, and Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags for asking any questions you might have. --Carnildo 19:58, 11 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, well i have a quick question, you might be able to answer. I am a student from école Garneau, and I am one of the students that work on the website; www.escgarneau.com (i think its down now, but is probably up when u will read this). For any pictures that i take to work on articles, ex.: GuG, what kind of copyright tag do i put, since for some pictures, I am half the author, since we someitmes work many on it, and i know that any picture on the site is really free for anyone to use? paat 22:01, 11 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
That's a tricky one. If you created the picture for something other than your official work on the website, then most likely you own the copyright on it, and you can pick whatever free license you want (I recommend the Creative Commons Share-Alike Attribution license). If you created the picture as part of your official work on the school website, then the school probably owns the copyright, and you'd need to ask permission to use it on Wikipedia. --Carnildo 07:22, 12 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Same with Image:Sdkfz 001.JPG. The image comes from a model shop site ( http://www.d-9models.co.uk/cgi-local/getpage.pl?searchstring=16#HASEGAWA ). I didn't find any indication that it's free and and since it's an image of a model box cover it seems likely that the copyright is owned by the company that produced the model ( http://www.hasegawa-model.co.jp/e-w/ITEMLIST/MT.htm ). I believe we stil can use the image as fair use with an appropriate tag, though... Or did I miss something ? Bukvoed 14:58, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Paat!

Check out Talk:Garneau User Group. I think we're going to have to merge our article. But At least in the future you won't have to face stupid (and often anoying) deletionist actions.

Thanks for uploading Image:Pogge13.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

Image Tagging Image:Poutine 2.jpg

[edit]
Warning sign
This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Poutine 2.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images 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 Image legality questions page. Thank you. Nv8200p talk 00:47, 3 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I just now noticed that you asked way back in March which goal they played in the background at the "first nation of hockey" line in the old "I am Canadian" ads in response to my comment that it was the greatest ever.

Dlink has been proposed for deletion. An editor felt the subject might not be notable enough for an article. Please review Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability for the relevant concerns. An example of notability guidelines can be found at Wikipedia:Notability (websites). If you can improve the article to address these concerns, please do so.

If no one objects to the deletion within five days by removing the "prod" notice, the article may be deleted without further discussion. If you remove the prod notice, the deletion process will stop, but if an editor is still not satisfied that the article meets Wikipedia guidelines, it may be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion for consensus.

WikiProject Ice Hockey Newsletter

Dear Paat! You are receiving this newsletter because you have signed up as a member of WikiProject Ice Hockey. The purpose of this newsletter is to update on the goings on of the project, as there have been major changes, and a lot of new recognized content in the past few weeks. If you are an inactive user, you probably won't recognize the new and improved state of the WikiProject!

From the project, Maxim.

New recognized content

By Maxim
There have been a lot more Good and Featured articles written in the past few weeks. Here is a list:[1][2][3][4]

Featured articles
Good articles
Featured lists[5]
Notes
  1. ^ All articles are in order of promotion, as written on the main WikiProject page; FA's have official dates of promotions.
  2. ^ A star represents a featured article or list
  3. ^ A green circle represents a good article
  4. ^ Stanley Cup is an A-Class article
  5. ^ The lists system differs from articles, and doesn't give an official date of promotion
edit 
Article Improvement

By Maxim

Upon some discussion on the WikiProject talk page, the Article Improvement Drive page was revamped by Krm500 and Maxim. It was renamed Wikipedia:WikiProject Ice Hockey/Article Improvement, and it includes two section. The first section is called articles in dire need of improvement. It list articles, usually important, that are in very poor shape. The second section is called requested help. Users list an article they request help improving a certain article, which will facilitate collaboration, which is the aim of any WikiProject. There is one article currently listed there, Henrik Lundqvist, here. The goal is to at least get it to Good article status.

edit 
Diacritics

By Maxim

In the past few weeks, there has been quite heated discussion about the use of diacritics in article name. The current guideline is using diacritics in the pages of articles of all player names which require them, but redirects are exempt.

edit 
Task forces

By Maxim
There have been two new task forces started within the WikiProject to coordinate major topics.

Sweden Ice Hockey task force

This task force was initiated by Krm500. Its current goal is to improve Henrik Lundqvist to Good or Featured article status. It covers all Swedish clubs, leagues and competitions and associated articles, players and coaches that are Swedish, or have played/coached for a Swedish club, and arenas in Sweden. They plan to eventually operate as a sort of a sub-project, which will have its own articles for creation, ranking importance and quality of articles, and co-ordinate article improvement. Its current members are Krm500, Bamsefar75, and CLAES.

New Jersey Devils task force

This task force was initiated by Bsroiaadn. Its goal is to improve New Jersey Devils to Featured Topic status. Although it currently meets the required article count, the task force wishes to improve it further. Its area of coverage is very similar to the Sweden Ice Hockey task force. Its members are Bsroiaadn, JHMM13, FutureNJGov, Sportskido8, Michael Greiner, JRWalko, and Soxrock.

edit 
Requested Images

By Maxim
After discussion on the WikiProject talk page, Serte created a page for Requested Images. The page encourages users to license images for use on articles. The page also has section to request images for players, arenas, game situations, miscellaneous, and team and league logos. The page has been quite popular; since it was created on July 21, there have been six completed requests. There are four currently outstanding requests:

edit 
Article assessement completed

By Maxim
On July 12, Kaiser matias announced that he had completed assessing all the articles with a {{ice hockey}} tag, sorting them into Category:Unassessed Ice Hockey articles. Kaiser matias has ranked about 9000 articles in that category, and most were stubs, and "have no information at all", according to him. Everybody is encouraged to expand the stubs into real articles. This effort took around 5 months. A big thanks goes to Kaiser matias from me and all the project.

I am Canadian

[edit]

Actually, no I'm not. I'm American. I don't mind it instilling proud in Canada-I think everyone should be proud of their country-but with that being said, I'm American, and it portrays us in a negative light. First off, most Americans DON'T own guns. America is one of the most ethnically diverse country on earth (if you can't find someone mixed with European and American Indian Blood, or Black and Asian blood, you're not looking hard enough), and we don't believe in assimilation-just that some people should learn English, but keep their culture. As a matter of fact, that's what American culture is. The character in that commercial says he speaks English and French. Even been to Maine or Lousiana? Most people there are Bi-lingual. Hawaii's official language is Hawaiian, and in New Mexico, all government documents are in Spanish and English. The United States doesn't need federally reconized languages, because there are so many that could be spoken in different regions, but not reconized by the government (French, German, Mandarin, Spanish, and Swedish are all widely spoken), as a matter of fact, my father's side of the family still speaks some Swedish (in spite of mixing with Indian blood), and I grew up a in a somewhat Spanish speaking neighborhood (the Ghetto and the Barrio were in the same place) in a city which, by for the most spoken Non-Spoken English language was German. We're trying to revive and save Indian languages (which, by the way, is funded by the government, not the tribes). America is a melting pot, if it wasn't we'd be, oh, I don't know, English. That's another thing that angered me, we had to fight for our freedom. That's why our head of State isn't the Queen of England. I don't mind that the commercial was Pro-Canadian, I just don't like the fact it was anti-American. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.173.195.17 (talk) 16:53, 21 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

New recognized content

By Maxim

Especially due to the featured topic drive, there have been many new featured lists promoted concerning NHL awards. Here's the full list of all the 13 FL's promoted since the last newsletter.[1][2]

  1. Hart Memorial Trophy
  2. James Norris Memorial Trophy
  3. Vezina Trophy
  4. Conn Smythe Trophy
  5. Frank J. Selke Trophy
  6. Lady Byng Memorial Trophy
  7. Lester B. Pearson Award
  8. Calder Memorial Trophy
  9. Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy
  10. King Clancy Memorial Trophy
  11. Jack Adams Award
  12. Presidents' Trophy
  13. List of Calgary Flames players

There have been no new good articles or featured articles. Maurice 'Rocket' Richard Trophy has been given A-Class status due to multiple issues raised at FLC.

  1. ^ The last one, List of Calgary Flames players, is the only one not associated with the featured topic drive.
  2. ^ At the time of publishing, there were 5 lists at WP:FLC and 2 lists in the "Holding cell", as there's been an accepted guideline to not put more that 5 trophy lists at the same time to, "compensate for the sanity of the reviewers".

Did You Know?

There have been 4 new articles featured in the Did You Know section? on the Main Page since August.

Featured Topic Drive

By Maxim

Started by User:Scorpion0422, the aim of this drive is to make NHL awards a featured topic. A featured topic is basically a set of very high quality articles (good articles and featured articles/lists). In this case, the topic is NHL awards. Many users have helped, including Scorpion0422, Resolute, Serte, Hasek is the best, Maxim, Croat Canuck, Spike Wilbury, FutureNJGov, and T Rex/Dinosaur puppy. The progress has been very good; there are 12 featured lists promoted, and 2 good articles:

  1. Hart Memorial Trophy (Scorpion)
  2. James Norris Memorial Trophy (Scorpion)
  3. Vezina Trophy (Scorpion)
  4. Conn Smythe Trophy (Serte)
  5. Frank J. Selke Trophy (FutureNJGov)
  6. Lady Byng Memorial Trophy (Scorpion)
  7. Lester B. Pearson Award (Scorpion)
  8. Calder Memorial Trophy (Croat Canuck)
  9. Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy (Maxim)
  10. King Clancy Memorial Trophy (Maxim)
  11. Jack Adams Award (Maxim)
  12. Presidents' Trophy (Scorpion)
  13. Stanley Cup (Earlier collaboration, very many involved)
  14. Traditions and anecdotes associated with the Stanley Cup (Maxim)

Check the project page if you are interested in helping out. Although it's closer to being done than not, there's still work to be done. The next topic that might be tackled is Stanley Cup, but this remains purely speculative and in discussion.

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:LesTroisAccords1.jpg

[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:LesTroisAccords1.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 23:16, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Replaceable fair use Image:Pogge13.jpg

[edit]
Replaceable fair use
Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Pogge13.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-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 this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Wafulz (talk) 17:06, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for File:I am plus flag.jpg

[edit]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:I am plus flag.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. J Milburn (talk) 22:54, 10 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open!
