File:2015 Toyota Vios 1.5 G Automatic (NCP 150).jpg problem

How can I fix this problem I'm experiencing now with the image I uploaded? I just wanted to replace an image, specifically the File:ViosNCP150G13Brown.JPG, with the one from the Philippines, because the former was from Indonesia. If I violated something, as I have experienced in many previous contributions in this website that I don't know why, feel free to delete the disputed image. I already replaced back the original image in the article Toyota Vios I'm just a beginner and in need of help whenever I can. Thanks and I will be waiting for your reply. - Ekklesia12 (talk) 19:09, 2 June 2015 (Philippine Standard Time)

You can't fix it. The image simply isn't something we can use. Eeekster (talk) 00:19, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

Alright then, feel free to remove the said image. I should also read more of the guidelines to be more informed. Thanks again and have a good day. - Ekklesia12 (talk) 08:47, 3 June 2015 (Philippine Standard Time)

Bad Rock Canyon photo

I received express written email permission to use that photo. Where do I need to send the email to get this resolved? Your assertion of "blatant copyright infringement" is not correct.--EditorExtraordinaire (talk) 23:40, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

I didn't even see a claim of permission and even if there was one, you would have to have the permission sent to OTRS. Eeekster (talk) 23:47, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

This is the text of his email to me:

I personally took that photo on Nov. 16, 2014 and it belongs to me. I put it on Facebook for the newspaper. Here's the cutline:

Photo by Richard Hanners - Food coloring turns the ice along U.S. 2 in Bad Rock Canyon into a rainbow.

You have my permission to use it. As for a Wikipedia entry on the Hungry Horse News, you don't have my permission to do that.

I recommend that you call him if you don't believe me.--EditorExtraordinaire (talk) 00:15, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

It's your responsibility, not mine. Eeekster (talk) 00:16, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

I offered to write an article for his employer, the Hungry Horse News, to which he added in his reply: "You don't have my permission to do that". I didn't bother telling him that he is not in control of whether an article is written or not on his newspaper.--EditorExtraordinaire (talk) 00:21, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

What license should I attach to it then, based upon the permission I have from the author?--EditorExtraordinaire (talk) 01:09, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

You need to take it to WP:OTRS. Eeekster (talk) 01:11, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

I sent the permission email I received to use the photo to: permissions-en@wikimedia.org and have received this ticket number: [Ticket#2015060410005949]. I have done this before on other images. The permission department is very slow to respond, apparently because they are overwhelmed with such requests. They take weeks, even months, to help. If I don't hear from them I guess I lose, you win.--EditorExtraordinaire (talk) 06:52, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

Whats with the proposed deletion of Sultan Mir Article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by JamesTanner17 (talk • contribs) 00:48, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

William F. Frye photo

Hi,

The photo in question (along with the negative) was in my father's files from the time he held public office in 1962. I believe the photo was used as a stock publicity photo for the Lane County District Attorney's Office and would have been in the public domain even back then. There is no credit for whomever took it but since my father had both the photo and the negative I assume it was done 'in house' and his to keep.

Please advise on what and where to add copyright info.

Thanks.

Speedy deletion declined: Outline of MySQL

Hello Eeekster. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Outline of MySQL, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Outlines are common enough, and this one is just getting started. Should give it time to get developed. Thank you. kelapstick^(bainuu) 21:06, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

Really? Care to explain just how this article does not duplicate the extensive one we already have? Eeekster (talk) 21:08, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

It does share the same scope. But all outlines share the scope of the article on the base subject. The difference is that Wikipedia outlines are topic lists, which present the subject in list format (with annotations to assist in topic selection). The main difference is that outlines aim to be comprehensive and link to everything Wikipedia has on the subject. See Wikipedia:Outlines for the guideline, and to see the set of all outlines at Portal:Contents/Outlines. Outlines are a type of stand-alone list, and make up one of Wikipedia's navigation systems. The Transhumanist 21:18, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

"Outline" is short for "hierarchical outline". Wikipedia outlines are topic outlines, similar to those used by college professors to present the syllabi of their courses. Except on Wikipedia they are about subjects rather than courses on those subjects. Outlines are typically easier to navigate than paragraph-based articles due to their more strictly adhered to hierarchical structure. The Transhumanist 21:26, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

I'm still working on it. It'll start to resemble Wikipedia's best outlines more and more as it grows.

Some sample outlines

I'm currently studying MySQL, so I decided to make a navigational tree to organize every topic on the subject. I could use all the help I can get. The Transhumanist 21:32, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

Wikification of MySQL underway...

...upgrading MySQL article to Wikipedia:Summary style format, per WP:PROSE. The Transhumanist 11:47, 6 June 2015 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion#F8

Please note that one of the requirements is "The image is not marked as {{Do not move to Commons}} or as {{Keep local}}." File:Giuseppe Verdi, Un Ballo in maschera, Vocal score frontispiece - restoration.jpg is marked {{Keep local}}. Do watch for that! =) No worries, though! Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 22:03, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

But, as the tag says, it's already on Commons. Eeekster (talk) 22:28, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

Yes, but Commons sometimes deletes files that are acceptable here. Particularly when I'm having trouble with the documentation, I worry about Commons. Here, pre-1923 is good enough. =) It's probably not so big of an issue now that I've identified the last person, but it's worth the extra security. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 23:22, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
