== Happy holidays! ==
==Stolen images==
Jkelly, you were recommended as someone who has zero tolerance for stolen images. I must ask you to look into the activities of ], his sock GeneralPatton and another possibe sock Brandmeister. I have tried the correct channels but there are so many images and I am so inexperienced that I need some help of any expert.

Images uploaded by smith2006 that I have positively identified as copyright infringements (all are copyright under ]) belong to two German photographers &mdash; Walther Frentz & Hugo Jaeger. They are <b>all</b> copyright Ullstein Bild and Getty images respectively. Ullstein Bild have made a legal threat with regard to their images appearing on wikipedia before, (including all tagged Fair Use), this prompted all Frentz images to be removed . <!-- https://secure.wikimedia.org/otrs/index.pl?Action=AgentTicketZoom&TicketID=14253&ArticleID=17948&QueueID=7 --> Unfortunately Ullstein and Getty do not allow hotlinking beyond a set period of minutes but if you search at their website according to photographer you will see the images.

===Images at issue===
Successes: :
: (blondi photo also remains on wikicommons)

smith2006 or one of his socks <b>always</b> labels the image ] probably in a deliberate attempt to make discovery of the real copyright holder difficult. smith2006 doesnt know that Frentz and Hugo Jaeger took the majority of <b>color</b> photos in this period, certainly the ones around the regime inner circle. Hoffmann worked mostly in black & white.

===Remaining images===

Please bear something in mind; the profiles are of top nazi officials, all of whom were either dead or alive and captured at end of WW2. Either way they were photographed by the Allies- free images. smith2006 has not bothered to source these, nor has he noticed that in the majority of cases the articles <b>already</b> contain free images which describe the object. How can he then claim Fair Use? smith2006 has just gone to a fansite like ww2incolor.com and downloaded the ones he likes best!!

One last thing, I am not trying to short circuit the system by appealing to you, I just do not have the time to list each and every infringement and fend off defenders of smith2006's behavior. I hope you look into this and checkuser suspect accounts to discover what else has been uploaded. This user should be permabanned for deliberately abusing his upload privileges but from looking at his talk page he has yet to figure out the rules. I have crossposted this to

Hello JKelly. I notice that you deleted the page for the "Oklahoma Girl Scout Murders" on Jan. 26th 2007.

:He's promoting new songs, so an obvious tack would have been to slag off WP - that liberal/fascist/atheist/god-bothering bag of falsehoods. But he spoke the truth about a good experience with a reasoning editor, and was quick to pick up on the verifiability criterion. Good job all around.--] 01:22, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
::Looks quite impressive. Certainly, phrases like "clear and unaccusatory note" and "my courteous correspondent" don't surprise me at all: they match my experience! :) ] ] 01:42, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Quite amusing, Jkelly. Glad Mr. Scott's experience was the same as mine generally: You're courteous and polite, constructive and helpful. I'm also glad he was able to understand the problems inherent in editing his own article; so many do not. It's great when someone "gets it". And I think that is in no small part due to your communication with him. Mr. Scott has never struck me as unintelligent or insensitive (well, as much as I can tell through the artist's work.) --]<sub>]</sub> 02:33, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

== Opinion ==

Could you look at the images in ]? They claim to be public domain, but have a website on the image and a copyright notice on the image page. ] 16:32, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
: The uploaded images are not identical to the fivaz versions, they are cropped and the website added in a different location. That seems like unusual behaviour for simply grabbing an image off the web. The same uploader added a link to another fivaz page to ]. ] 18:00, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

I am the owner of the website www.fivaz.com. but I also have added two pictures in the Darwin Island. All these pictures have been taken by my own during a diving trip in June 2005. Do I have to get any kind if licensing (by example GNU) to upoad a picture on wikipedia ? let me know. Pascal

== No rationale dates ==

You tagged ] with {{tl|subst:nrd}} or {{tl|no rationale}}, which is specifically for images uploaded after ], ]. However, that image was uploaded on ], ]. I've removed the {{tl|no rationale}} tag for that reason, however I expect that your {{tl|no source}} tag on the same image will hold up since the uploader hasn't edited in 3 months. ~ ]] 20:10, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

==Thanks for the reward!==
Hey JKelly - thanks for rewarding my barnstar phishing! :-) I went back up to Billy Name's today. He was being interviewed for an article about his Warhol years and photographed for a new book by photographer Keith Green on the people who have shaped pop culture. Green is best known for some of his work with the Ramones and his haunting of the Chelsea Hotel. Anyway, I got a really good new one of Billy, at right. You're the best with dah barnstahs!
::Kelly - I need to have the Billy name photograph I put up yesterday deleted ASAP. I hadn't thought about it, but the photographer whose session this was called me in a bit of a state. It turns out I essentially replicated his photograph at such a high quality that it has made his shot worthless. So, it needs to be deleted for copyright violation: I hadn't even thought about that. Can you please do this as soon as possible: http://commons.wikimedia.org/Image:Billy_Name_%28Flag%29_1_by_David_Shankbone.jpg. --] 20:20, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

== Responding inefficiently to your appeal ==

Hi, I'd like to help with the appeal you made at ] regarding images. I looked to see how far you were, and then opened up ]. I then went to to see if there was anything about their images being in the public domain. There wasn't, as far as I could see. I looked at your contributions to see how you were tagging them, and saw that you did different things for different images. After looking at your contributions for a while (sorry, that sounds a bit stalker-ish!), I decided to put {{tl|PUI-disputed}} on it. (I would also have listed it at the relevant page, and notified the uploader.) I opened the edit box, and found that ''you'' had just tagged it with <nowiki>{{no copyright holder|month=March|day=25}}</nowiki> and <nowiki>{{no license|month=March|day=25|year=2007}}</nowiki>.

I don't know if I'd make things worse by trying to help. If you tell me very nicely to run away, I won't be offended! But if I ''can'' help in any way, it would be best if you assigned me ten or fifteen images, going by date of the user's contributions, so that I don't end up in edit conflict with you. Let me know if there's anything I can do. ] ] 21:02, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
:Sorry I'm being so slow. I think I have the hang of it now! Just one more question. You used two different verbs in your message to me &mdash; ''use'' and ''subst''. I got confused and "substed" some {{tl|imagevio}} ones. Then I was just rereading your message to check that I was doing everything properly, and I noticed that you hadn't said "subst" for that one. I then checked your contributions again, and saw that you had used that template without substing it. For the moment, I'll continue by ''using'' {{tl|imagevio}} and {{tl|PUI-disputed}}, and ''substing'' {{tl|nsd}}, but I just wondered did you really mean to differentiate? I can go back and unsubst them later if you think I should. (I hadn't done many; you're much faster!) ] ] 21:46, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
::Yes, I noticed we had just met &mdash; though I couldn't say it was in the middle. You did most of the work, and the time I saved you was probably less than the time you spent explaining it to me. I'll be quicker next time! Anyway, I think I now have some understanding of those templates. He seems to have taken ] himself. Let me know if I can help again. I will be faster when I have more experience. Cheers. ] ] 22:01, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

==Daniel Gluskoter Images==

JK,

Considering you took the time to contact me and confirm my images were legitimately supplied, I take the liberty of assuming it was you that added them to commons.
If correct, I have a couple issues I need to direct to you with the hope of a mutually
satisfying resolution.
The "Other Versions" wording in the image description page is uncomfortable for me.
I'd greatly appreciate it if you'd kindly modify the wording to the following:

Original Photo ~All Rights Reserved~ © Daniel Gluskoter~www.dgpics.com

Also, not sure whether it was you or someone else that altered the location, but the Eddie Van Halen concert image I provided, like all of my images, was meant to be featured in the infobox on top of the page. It's much more representative of the subject than a fuzzy candid taken at an Emmy Awards show 14 years ago.

I'm only providing these superior quality photos for feature use, and if possible I'd appreciate your efforts in permanently restoring it to the infobox location unless a better image exists, in which case I'd gladly remove it from the feature in it's entirety.

Thanks for your efforts ! ] 21:54, 25 March 2007 (UTC)


Your lightning quick response is both impressive and appreciated.
THANK YOU !
I hope you won't mind my contacting you periodically in the future if questions or conflicts arise.......ATB ! ] 22:01, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Should I, ( or You ) revert the Van Halen pics ? I don't want to waste any uneccessary
time or get into a edit war with anyone. ] 22:20, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

JK,

Plaudits for your "Cow" comment. BRILLIANT and I couldn't agree more. But I need to disagree with you on my lack of ability to remove my authorization for any image's usage.

Prior to agreeing to the initial wording releasing my images in their uploaded size, I was assured by my intellectual properties copyright attorney that I can indeed
remove authorization for future usage at anytime. No desire to bring an attorney into this, but if someone so blindly unobjective is going to continuously replace my image with an inferior one while quoting non-existent policy along the way, I will take those steps to insure an image can not be used in anyway.

Please understand that while I've only had the pleasure of enjoying your expertise for a brief period, I have clearly stated in previous discussion with other editors that I only desire to improve the image quality on these pages. As a professional photographer and professional photo editor I have encountered many pages I intended to upload to already presenting quality images,
and out of respect (and showing the ability to be objective) I haven't altered those pages in anyway......] 23:50, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

==Need admin assistance==
I initiated a discussion regarding the placement of images on the Eddie Van Halen article. But rather than constructive discussion and concensus the only replies were ] and concluded with a ] on my talk page. I tried to quote policies where best suited but to no avail. The user appears to have no patience for IP editors even though Misplaced Pages is built on the contributions of honest/valid anons. Can the user rm a commons image....while it still resides on commons? Or does this shade ]?. I normally call on Wiki alf(or other admins familiar with range 156.34) but since you have actually been able to have civil communcation with the editor in question I thought I would ask you first. ] 23:16, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

== Re:Images ==

It's more of a sorting thing for me in the user's contribution history, as he has multiple edits to many of the images. Burden of proof on the uploader, all that good stuff I know so I'm more than willing to go back and delete those when I have finished the others. Kill 'em dead behind me if you wish, or I will get to them in a bit. ] 01:22, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
:I'm focusing on the images that are obviously mistagged, which is most. Pilotguy has blocked the user, and there are few images that are legitimate. I tell you what, I'll leave the unsourced but possibly free images (I'll go back and restore the tags). The rest I'm going to delete for the legal reasons which you spoke of. ] 01:27, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
::I think you did the right thing by just tagging the images since you notified the user and then asked for uninvolved assistance. I'll get to the remaining images in a bit. Happy to help, happy editing to you. ] 01:40, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I just listed four more images for this person. The entire series of Frentz images he uploaded are still on wikipedia. One person has claimed his NARA tag is correct! =) Another person has edited the images to say they were uploaded past a date so theyre fairuse.

== Deletion of ] and ] ==

I believe your closing of the IfDs for ] and ] as a speedy delete as G12 copyvio were unwarranted. I don't think you should permit your own personal judgment to trump a comprehensive IfD discussion focused on Fair Use issues; the cases are clearly judgment calls requiring a consensus of informed editors rather than unilateral action by an administrator. Please make your arguments in the IfD rather than by using your delete button. My reading of ], with which I am very familiar, leads to a different conclusion, but I did not substitute my personal judgment by closing the IfD as speedy keep (even though I am both an admin and an IP attorney); I'm willing to let a consensus of editors make the call. I have restored the Il-76 image; the other does not seem to actually have been deleted, unless I'm looking at a cached version. Unfortunately I have an engagement and will be away from Misplaced Pages until late evening, but I hope you will undelete the S7 crash image if it was deleted, and reopen the IfDs, adding your own arguments. Thanks, --] 02:06, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
:Thanks for your message on my talk page, but I am concerned that you did not appear to have investigated the situation. First, I did not upload either image. I did restore them after they were deleted by you out of process. Your message closing the IfD, and your message on my talk page both made generic statements about Fair Use. However, as I'm sure you know, Fair Use is not a trivial analysis, and must be performed individually for each work. Blanket statements about particular sources are not particularly useful or dispositive.
:There was an ongoing IfD debate regarding the images. In that debate, a number of editors, myself included, made highly specific arguments about the Fair Use issues. However, you chose to ignore the IfD, did not participate in the Fair Use analysis, and substituted your personal judgment for that of a consensus of editors. While I believe you are an excellent and experienced editor and admin, that was not the appropriate action. Unless you are acting directly on behalf of Wikimedia Foundation (i.e., a ] action) or your personal expertise regarding Fair Use issues exceeds the sum total of all the other participants (which, having significant credentialed experience in the field, I am skeptical of), the right thing to do is to make your case in the IfD and build consesnsus, not act unilaterally.
:I don't propose getting into a wheel war over this, but it leads me to wonder what the proper forum for these issues is; normally it would be ], but if you did not respect the IfD process, would you participate in a DRV? What your actions seem to say is that if any one of Misplaced Pages's 1000+ admins thinks an image use does not meet Fair Use, it will be deleted, and I don't think that reflects policy. I urge you to undelete the images, participate in the IfD, and abide by the result. Thanks, --] 00:04, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
::Thanks for your message. I guess Jimbo Has Spoken, which as a practical matter puts an end to the specific issue of these photos, but it leads me to wonder about how Misplaced Pages determines Fair use issues.

::First, who makes Fair use determinations? In the absence of an OFFICE action, or direct response to an OTRS ticket, it seems that neither a consensus of editors (i.e., the xfD process) nor individual expertise (this is a field in which I have considerable professional experience, including both teaching copyright law and acting as a consulting expert in IP cases) is sufficient, but instead unilateral action based on an personal interpretation of policy is encouraged. At this point it seems pointless to discuss any Fair Use issues or rationales on IfD. As you know, a large number of images are speedily deleted as CSD:G12 or are nominated for deletion based on lack of, or insufficient, Fair Use rationale. I agree with the vast majority of those, and routinely delete images and materials based on that. But there are exceptions, and assertions of exceptions should be fully and fairly discussed.

::Second, I worry that a total ban on Fair Use of news service photos (except as "iconic", or for criticism or discussion of the image) means that as a practical matter, Misplaced Pages will never be able to feature images of certain spontaneous or unrepeatable events, at least until we are rich enough to endow a Misplaced Pages News Bureau that is able to send photographers to (e.g.,) plane crash sites and produce free images for us. Our mission is to create free content, but foreclosing an entire avenue of entirely lawful Fair Use where free content would be impossible to find results in a poorer encyclopedia. Well, I suppose there are better places to debate this, so I'll sign off. Best, --] 23:20, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

==Aradia==
About adding a link to the sacred-texts.com online edition of Aradia, Gospel of the Witches. I was the first person to create an etext of this book in its entirety and place it on the Internet (about 2000). There are many copies of this file circulating at various websites, but mine was the editio princeps. This is why I was adding a link to this file. My website (sacred-texts.com) is devoted to creating public domain electronic texts. You are welcome to email me at postmaster (at) sacred-texts.com if you have any comments about this issue.

== Re Advice ==

Hello I am a relatively new user on Misplaced Pages, and got some information from you in relation to an illustration I I did not really understand the message. The image was taken from the 1947 edition of the Wolf Tone Annual, edited and produced by Brian O’Higgins. I was under the impression that the copyright expired after 50 years. I may be wrong, and I will endeavour to obtain the information from the local library. Could you let me know what your thoughts are on this, and if at all possible give me some advice on this? It would be appreciatively received. Regards --] 18:12, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

I agree that we should aim for a free picture of Ian Paisley. However he is the leader of his party so the fair use case for using that logo is strong (we have no free picture of the man but we can use his party's logo to illustrate his strong connections to the party). When a free image of Paisley becomes available it can be put into the article. --] 22:40, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

==Refactoring talk page comments==
Hi Jkelly,

Please do not remove others' talk page comments, as you did . ] makes it clear that "Editing others' comments is generally not allowed," unless it is a personal attack or incivil. As that comment was neither, there was no reason for its removal, especially with an edit summary of "um, we're not voting on whether or not to delete him". Edit summaries that begin with "Um" and are followed with a message about how the other user is wrong just aren't necessary. I realize the content of ] isn't entirely appropriate for ], but there is no reason to remove another long-standing contributor's comments with a dismissive edit summary: doing so will likely only cause disruption. I have restored the comment for now. Best wishes and happy editing, <font color="#0000FF">]</font> 21:23, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
:I don't get it. Are you saying that it's perfectly acceptable to remove other users' comments as long as you disagree with them, or because they are in WP: space instead of article talk space? Jkelly, you must know by now that removing other users comments just isn't acceptable in ''any'' portion of Misplaced Pages which is used for communication, as long as the other user abides by normal editing guidelines. ''Removing'' the comment with a dismissive edit summary beginning with "Um..." will only escalate an already tense situation. Please just don't do it. Best wishes, <font color="#0000FF">]</font> 21:50, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
::''Let me put it this way... if I paste "B'crats, please ignore any votes that do not adhere to ]" on top of someone's requests for adminship, would you really argue that this suddenly becomes immune to the normal wiki process because I signed it?''
:::No, I would not: doing so ''could'' be seen as as disturbance. But ] didn't post his comment to the top of the RFA page. He used the normal editing guidelines, the procedures we usually follow at RFA. He wasn't causing a distubance, he was just commenting, something all non-banned editors should allowed to do, even if they're wrong.
::What if I put it into a pastel box and transcluded it into the RfA template? Would that be irreversible if I signed it?
:::Nope. Adding a pastel box and transcluding it onto the RFA page isn't following the usual RFA commenting process. But Just H wasn't adding a pastel box or transcluding anything. He was just commenting. Just commenting.
::You seem to , but writing and following rules is much less important than using good judgement, and common sense.
:::So it's OK to remove comments if you believe they don't make much sense?
::In short, yes I absolutely am saying that there are times when people's signed comments should be removed,
:::When their comments make no sense to you? How often do you do this, Jkelly? I would ask that if you do this often, that you reconsider this practice. Just H wasn't adding a pastel box or transcluding anything; he wasn't being incivil or making personal attacks. He was making a comment, one that you didn't agree with. So you removed it, and with a dismissive edit summary. I would ask again that you not do that. It doesn't ease tensions; it only escalates the disagreement.
::and we will never compile an exhaustive list of those times, and, further, it is not worth bothering to try to do such a thing. It is important for users to respect consensus, and of the three people who apparantly have any interest in this, I'm in the minority. ] 22:03, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
:::I appreciate that you respect consensus, Jkelly.

You have requested a response to your statement that my article on John Barton is "plagiarism". There are some facts: date and place of birth, attendance at Cambridge, which are also covered in the article you cite, as well details of Peter Hall asking Barton to join the newly-formed RSC etc. Whether based on this information, you come to the conclusion that this constitutes "plagiarism" or not, is a decision surely best left to you. If you think it so, so be it. Feel free to delete as much of it as you see fit or to let another administrator do it. My original premise was that here was an important man of the British, subsidised theatre who was missing an article in Misplaced Pages. I started one as a stub, based on half-a-dozen easily verifiable facts from a reliable source (though, curiously, not the one you quote in your notice.)

==Would you block me for disruption if . . . ?==
Hi, I took quite a lot of photos in the zoo, and I'm pleased with some of them, but it was very difficult to keep track of what everything was. I was scribbling notes on a bit of paper, and sometimes I couldn't get near the sign to see what I was photographing, because there were too many people. When I got back to the hotel, I transferred them to the laptop, and then tried to figure out is that an elephant shrew or a striped grass mouse? Is this an emperor flat lizard or a giant girdled lizard? Which one is the dwarf mongoose and which is the southern tamandua? I'll probably figure it out in the end, because the photos are numbered, and I sribbled things down in order. I'm particularly pleased with something that I ''think'' is called a rhino lizard, but I'm not sure. And I got a quite a good shot of some octopus-y thing. There was a German word "Kraken" on a sign near by. No idea what it means, or if it even referred to the creature. In any case, I'll probably find in many cases that what Commons already has is much better than what I can offer, and I won't clog it up with images that already exist in a superior quality, but it's going to be a bit tricky uploading what I have if I haven't figured out what they're called! I'm sure if somebody inserted images of cows into an article about elephants, he or she would be blocked for disruption. So I hope I don't end up blocked if I mix up the emperor tamarin with the rock hyrax. ;-) ] ] 00:49, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
:Thanks very much for telling me about ]. I have added it to my watchlist, as it looks interesting. However, I have managed to identify all the photos that were good enough to upload.

== China Fair Use Tag Deletion ==

Canildo said "A license template for images that would be permitted under Chinese fair-use law but not US fair-use law. Unfortunately, since Misplaced Pages is based in the US, we need to follow US law".

I disagree with him on this point. Fair Use in this case, is a common treatment in both systems. Is Misplaced Pages based on US and English only? How about Canada and Great Britain and other English speaking nations? They all have different law systems. How about other language version of Misplaced Pages?

Please explain in practical, how an image created in China which qualifies fair use of Chinese fair-use law would violate US copyright law here, thanks.

Lupo said “The U.S. does not apply Chinese law, and China doesn't apply U.S. law. Thus, "Chinese fair use" is irrelevant for us; we cannot rely on it. "Fair use" at the English Misplaced Pages is always and exclusively U.S. fair use.... This template should be deleted. Lupo 06:47, 30 March 2007 (UTC)”

I also disagree with his point. The law of China and US are not totally irrelevant. The purpose of both laws are both for justice, fair, protection of the public and punishment the breachers.

I agree there are lots of discrenpencies between two laws. But they not always on the opposite. For example, stealing and rubery are illigal in both systems, and the right for girls to go to school are guarantted in both. Should we say that the illegality of stealing and rubbery are exclusively US illegality, and right of girls go to the school is exclusively US right????] 02:52, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

== Marie Laveau ==

You received a complaint from a "copyright holder" about the alleged portrait of ]? I find this more than slightly far fetched, given that all acounts have her dying sometime in the nineteenth century, and the portrait is in the collection of the Louisiana state library. I unfortunately no longer have a backup copy of that image, which I uploaded several years ago, so its restoration is likely not possible in any case, but I find the claim that anyone could claim a copyright in that image extremely dubious. - ] 06:29, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

:FWIW, I found another version of the image, and put it in Commons. The portrait was originally by ] (d. 1872), and apparently the extant portrait is a copy of Catlin's original by Frank Schneider ca. 1920. So says the , at any case. I have every confidence that the portrait of Marie Laveau is in fact in the public domain. - ] 18:08, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
::Since our nameless "copyright holder" isn't apparently available to participate in any public discussion here, your user page will have to do, I suppose. The extant portrait is, according to the Louisiana State Museum, a derivative work originally by a painter who died in 1872, of a subject who (allegedly) died in 1888. So says the Louisiana State Museum, likely a reliable source as to these facts. The image is surely in the public domain, and surely in the public domain even if the nameless complainer is the Louisiana State Museum, and controls access to the original. So saith ], which appears on many of the public domain picture tags. I apologize for re-uploading the image to Commons, but there really does not seem to be a convenient place to discuss this publicly or to involve the supposed claimant. Whoever it is that's trying to arrogate this picture out of the public domain is a shady operator. - ] 19:38, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
:::OK, tell you what. Rather than argue about this with anybody, present or invisible, I have some small artistic skills. When I find time, I can make a third derivative image based on the evidence of the portrait, and we can use it instead. - ] 21:39, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
::::My suspicion is that the Catlin original has been lost or destroyed, and that's why the Louisiana museum has a reproduction of it instead. My only access to it is through the several copies of the existing image on the web. - ] 22:35, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi. While going through and deleting images that have been tagged as moved to Commons, I noticed images from {{user|Dannyg3332}}. I saw where you had deleted these images on Commons subsequent to uploading them there and then read the conversation you had with him. Since those images are incompatible for Commons use, should all of his uploads here be deleted as well? His statement above about retracting permission is obviously (1) incorrect and (2) if his actual intention was to authorize the image only for prime positioning on Misplaced Pages (in other words, only if his site gets free advertising), that's incompatible with our image use policy. So should all of his images here be deleted or should the moved to commons tags merely be removed? --] 07:34, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi, as you were the administrator who raised the alarm about Orbicle and the copyright violations, I thought I should let you know that I have ]. I hope you don't mind. While I had no problem with the original blocking, to bring home to him how serious it is, I felt rather unhappy at the thought of him remaining permanently blocked, as I'm sure his intention was to improve the encyclopaedia rather than to involve Misplaced Pages in a messy lawsuit, and as I saw a lot of evidence that he had done good work. I thought that his inclusion of a link to the meta page about copyright paranoia didn't exactly help his case when he was requesting an unblock, but he did remove it, at my suggestion.

On an unrelated matter, I had one of my most satisfying Misplaced Pages experiences ever, today. You probably won't be impressed, as I'm sure you've done this kind of thing hundreds of times, but I changed an article from to , using a photo I took at Frankfurt Zoo. Sometimes I wonder am I trying too hard to push my own photos into articles that may have enough images. It's difficult to judge in a completely detached way. So it was very nice to find an article that was actually ''asking'' for a freely licensed image that I happened to have. I think the big ugly "Image manquante" box is quite a good idea, as it may motivate people to donate their own images more than just having ''no'' image would have done.

I'll be cutting down on my contributions in the next week, as I have some pressing commitments in real life. But after that, do please feel free to let me know if there's anything I can help with. Cheers. ] ] 00:24, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

== Striped mice image ==

Hi, I asked you a question ] about uploading someone's ice cream maker to Commons from fr.wiki, and did exactly ] and everything ]. I'm now doing a little bit of work on articles about striped grass mice. In looking for interwiki links, I found that the ] had an image which is not available on commons, but which I'd like to use here at en, and perhaps also at fr. I'd like also to take a few centimetres off the margins, so that when the image is a particular size, the mice will be more visible. I've looked at {{tl|NowCommons}} for interwiki links, and there doesn't seem to be a Hungarian one. So I'm not sure what would be the correct thing to do after I've uploaded it. I don't want to force you to type out a long reply for me, so ''I'll'' tell ''you'' what I intend to do, based on what you told me before, and perhaps you can let me know if anything is wrong.

#Save ] to my hard disk.
#Upload it to Commons, under GDFL and Cc-by-sa-2.5, as in the original. Use the same name &mdash; "Lemniscomys barbarus01.JPG" Mention also that it was uploaded to Hungarian Misplaced Pages by ], with date.
#Go back to the saved image on my disk, and crop the edges. Make no other modifications.
#Upload the modified version over the original, adding a note that ElinorD cropped it but that the image is not modified in any other way. Leave the licence tags alone.
#Look at user language categories on hu.wiki, trying to find someone currently active who speaks English. Leave them a message asking them to tag the image for speedy deletion. (I tried putting <nowiki>{{db}}</nowiki> on the image just using preview, as an experiment, and it didn't work. Obviously they don't use the exact same template codings.)

I ''think'', based on what I've seen others do, that this is the correct procedure, but if you see anything in it that's wrong, please warn me. Many thanks. ] ] 19:30, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

:I've taken an occasional look at your contributions, and get the impression that you're busier these days than you were when you answered so many of my questions in January, and that the copyright cleanups you've been spending your Misplaced Pages time on lately are far more important than getting a pretty little photo of some mice from one wiki to another.

== Wikisource question ==

Hi, around the time that you were recommending a link to Wikisource from the ] article, I registered an account there, under the same name &mdash; ElinorD. So far, I haven't used the account, and am not really familiar with how wikisource works, or how to find my way around, or what I'm supposed to do there. I may look into it more in the summer, when I'll be less busy.

For the moment, though, one issue has arisen. I was looking at the ] article here, and found that there was a mistake in it. One of the priests hanged with him was called "Robert Sympson" in the article. The correct name was "Richard Simpson". I wouldn't worry about seeing the "Sympson" spelling. Although most books that mention him use "Simpson", a lot of names of people from the 16th century have alternative spellings. However, I do have a problem with "Robert". That was definitely not his name. I won't bore you with a long list of books that give "Richard", but I really am absolutely certain.

I changed the Misplaced Pages article to show the correct name. The article was based on the (public domain version from 1913), which also give the wrong name.

Now, this is my question. Just by chance, I stumbled across the ] article. It has the same mistake. I'm not quite sure what the purpose of that article is &mdash; whether it's meant to provide information about Nicholas Garlick, or whether it's meant to provide a completely faithful copy of what the old Catholic Enyclopaedia said, regardless of whether it was right or wrong. Can you advise? Thanks. ] ] 22:35, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

== -ize vs. -ise in Canadian spelling ==

Regarding your edit to ], I don't believe that ''organize'' '''is''' Canadian spelling. The ITC Nelson Canadian Dictionary gives ''organize'' and does not even give the ''s'' spelling as an option. The Canadian Oxford Dictionary gives ''organize'' but notes "(also esp. Brit. ''organise'')". I checked a few Canadian media websites with these results:

* torontostar.com: organize 325, organise 2 (both examples of organise are Reuters stories)
* theglobeandmail.com: (either search finds both)
* cbc.ca: organize 1660, organise 34 (a small fraction of organise is actually in French text)
* Vancouver Province: 72 organize, 0 organise.

Microsoft Word accepts either spelling for U.K. and Canadian English, but only the ''z'' spelling for U.S. English. I'm inclined to also accept both, but for consistency, I'm hoping you'll agree that the ''-ize'' form is general in Canada and change it back yourself. (I don't want to start an edit war over such a trivial issue.)

While I've got your attention, I think the article should be moved back to ]. The festival has had this name since it began 55 years ago, as far as I know. It appears that the article ended up where it is today during a small redirect war among articles about several tulip festivals, each vying to be THE Tulip Festival. Although local people may refer to the Canadian Tulip Festival generically as "the tulip festival" I can see no good reason why the article should be called Tulip Festival (Ottawa) which requires a piped link almost always. ] 16:32, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

:Although it's hard for me to imagine the move being controversial, I've added the request to ] just in case. I can't move it myself, because the proposed destination has 10 history entries. ] 03:19, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
==Self-promotion==
Hi JKelly - a curious thing. All across Misplaced Pages on the BDSM, gay rights and crossing dressing articles ] has plastered photographs of himself in, uh, interesting dress and poses. I wrestled with whether the encyclopedic value of graphic representations of some of these articles outweighed the self-promotional aspects. In the end, I opted against the self-promotion since he propagated the photos so widely, and appears to be part of some desire to be humiliated publicly, which is just a bad use of Misplaced Pages. I surmised this by ''where'' he was putting his photos (e.g. "Online humiliation" on one page). All of are found on the Commons. Thoughts, comments, about what should be done about this, if anything? --] 17:54, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
*I'm not personally troubled by them, although I have absolutely no ability to understand the motivation (or, frankly, the turn-on). But that's not for me to judge. What I was more troubled by was their wide proliferation--he didn't just stick up a few photos on a page or two, but *widely* deciminated them. I am, however, bothered with how he has categorized them on the Commons, such as "homosexuality" et. al. I'm not particularly looking to make it a personal crusade; although I removed them from the articles (they are also poor quality) I wouldn't revert a revert. I just wasn't sure what to think about it on a Misplaced Pages/Commons guideline/policy level. They are definitely self-promotion in some...uh, "different"...way, but I also don't know if I care or if it's egregious. At the very least, perhaps my removal will put Mr./Ms. Holden on notice to not misuse Misplaced Pages for personal, uh, gratification. At least to be careful when he does... --] 01:51, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

==Elvis Presley==
Hi, as an administrator I would like to invite you over to the Elvis Presley page and see the work that has been done by mostly Rikstar and StevePastor along with myself. I've had a purpose from the beginning including in June of 2006 when I first attempted to shorten the article to wikipedia standards to be a featured article someday; to make this article a 'good article' and then a 'featured article' - It is to that point I am editing the page. This however seems to be oblivious to a rather constant disrupting editor named Onefortyone; who I tried to work with back in June 2006 (much to my failure then) and who has since I've been gone been in a spat with others (as is the case over and over again) going so far as being banned from the article for a short while and being on probation in relation to this article and others like Nick Adams. If Onefortyone didn't have the history he has I would gladly welcome his contributions and insight; if he would help out with 'new' edits it would be worthy to forgive and forget past transgressions by this editor and welcome him in the project at hand. But, rather, this user inserts the same edits over and over - usually blocks and blocks of quotes out of context including changing edits others have made to shorten the article and make it 'good' material. He responds to all who disagree with him by accusing them of being sock-puppets or part of the 'elvis cult' as he calls fans; or part of the 'memphis mafia'. Clearly he is obstructing good editing. I ask you judge our efforts and the past of onefortyone and help us out with this matter if you can. If you do not wish to be involved - I understand. At least keep an eye on me - helping me out when I get a little out of hand with this contentious user. Thanks --] 05:32, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

== Fair use images in userboxes at French Misplaced Pages ==

Hi, Jkelly, I don't use fr: enough to have met any friendly admins, and I know you're very knowledgeable about image copyright issues. I recently discovered that fr: has large numbers of fair use images in userspace, through the use of "this user reads Harry Potter", and "this user likes Burger King" type user boxes. I had a look at ] and the very first sentence said that fair use is forbidden since October 2006. The page mentions that some exceptions are listed at ].

French Misplaced Pages is absolutely full of fair use images in userboxes. See for example:
*]
*]
*]
*]
*]

I removed ] from ], explaining why in my edit summary. The template was transcluded on about seventy userpages. However, I was able to find ] at Commons. (Many Harry Potter images at Commons are up for deletion as derivative, but in my non-expert view, this one looks okay.) If I remove the Burger King and similar images, I don't think I'll be able to find a free replacement, and may draw a lot of fury on myself!

I'm not asking you to get involved, but I'd just like to know, before I proceed any further, am I doing the right thing? From the amount of fair use that I found in templates, it would seem that fr: has a more liberal policy, but the page I read seemed to indicate otherwise. ] ] 20:19, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

:Merci pour la réponse. You're probably right that I should worry more about en: cleanups. I was just startled to see so much unfree content that wasn't in mainspace. I did ] before you replied, and since ] was on templates that were transcluded, I seem, in just five edits, to have removed it from about two hundred pages, and seem not to have infuriated anyone! Thanks for telling me about ]; I have added it to my ''liste de suivi'', and may bring up the issue there later. Actually, while I've been familiar with interwiki links for some time, I have just discovered that pages which have them (including your userpage and mine) have direct links at the left hand side to all the foreign pages. I thought I had to be using a different skin to have those links (and I don't like the other skins). I don't know if they were there all the time and I never saw them, or if the developers have made some change so that they're now visible in the MonoBook skin.

==My contributions==
Kelly, I'm running into an issue with a couple of IP trolls, one in Washington, one in Germany. Since they edit the same pages and say the same things, they are perhaps friends...I don't know. But the Germany IP, ], is starting to take all of my portraits and rename them. They have done so with ], ], ], ], et. al. In their Commons descriptions, they mention that they are "removing the self-promotion of the editor." They also aren't giving the required attribution that is stipulated in the licensing. I spent 60-80 hours at Tribeca photographing, uploading and editing these photographs, that to have my work undone by someone with some kind of anti-me agenda is very frustrating and I could use some help. I have also been frustrated with Misplaced Pages in general lately, and some of the things I have witnessed happening on here, and have contemplated leaving. This kind of effort when I have spent so much time, money and patience to make improvements and provide some of the most difficult images to obtain will seal the deal.

== A how-to guide for people who want to help clean up imagevios? ==

Hi, when I joined Misplaced Pages, KillerChihuahua, in her welcome message, gave me some very helpful links. In particular, ] and ] answered many of the questions I might otherwise have been asking, though actually, I still asked a lot of questions!

You were the person who helped me most with image copyright issues, but on many occasions I felt that it would have been easier for you if you had been able to direct me to a "How-to" page, instead of typing long instructions for me.

I added pages such as ] to my userpage, so that I could find them easily, if needed. However, while they give good information for a newcomer (or even experienced user) who wants to know what licence to use, they don't give any help to a user who finds an image and suspects that it's in violation of our copyright policy.

Recently, I found an image ] where the uploader said he had taken it from Microsoft UK. He tagged it as {{tl|PD-self}}. I looked at the where the image was prominently displayed, but saw nothing to indicated that it was public domain. I wasn't sure how to tag the image. I felt sure you had given me some kind of help on that issue before, but since I don't do it regularly, I couldn't remember. I looked through my talk page and the archives for messages from you, and found one ], which led me to the {{tl|PUI-disputed}} template. From there, I got to ], and worked out that I should put <nowiki>{{subst:db-copyvio|url=http://www.microsoft.com/en/gb/default.aspx}}</nowiki> on the page. I did, and left a note for the user. The image has now been deleted, but I spent a lot of time tracking down the information on how to proceed.

More recently, I was voting in a deletion review, and found the article through Google cache. It had a "fair use" image ]. The article has been deleted, but the image is still there, and is not being used in any other article. I would have tagged it, but I wasn't sure what tag to use. I suppose (hint!) that some administrator should delete it.

This is my question: is there a page that gives information not for people who are uploading images and want to know which licence to use, but for people who would like to help out more often in cleaning up copyright violations, and need to be told of the existence of '''<nowiki>{{subst:db-copyvio|url=</nowiki>''source URL''<nowiki>}}</nowiki>''' and '''{{tls|nsd}}''' and '''{{tls|nld}}'''? If there isn't such a page, I'll create a subpage in my userspace, so that I can look up these things easily, but I don't want to waste time if such a page already exists.

People like you and Durin and others seem to know exactly what you're doing, without having to stop and look up which tag to use. But I really think you'd get more helpers if you had a page that listed all the different things that should be done when you think an image doesn't have the right tag or should be deleted. You'd certainly get more help from ''me''. Thanks. (No hurry for a response.) ] ] 00:03, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

:Since posting to you last night, I've found {{tl|Orphaned fairuse not replaced}}. I just made a wild guess and searched for ], which redirected to the template I was looking for. So I've tagged ], and it will probably be deleted soon, unless an admin thinks that the article it was in is going to be undeleted &mdash; the deletion review hasn't closed yet.

:I've uploaded a scan of ]''. It's not of great quality, as opening the book completely flat in the scanner damages the spine, but I've used it to replace the fair use ] in '']''. I've found the template {{tl|orfur}} and have added it to the ], though I suppose one could make the case that an 1847 title page is an altogether different image from a modern bookcover. I've also found the correct (I think!) tags with which to notify users.

:My question remains concerning the possible existence of that highly-desirable page for users who have some understanding of image policy and know how to tag their own images, but don't know how to help with general copyright cleanup. I promise I'll help you more in that area if you point me to such a page! ] ] 14:01, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
==My Trolls and Vandals==
Hi Jkelly - I'm not sure if this issue is going to "die on the vine" or if there is just a lull in it. As you may know, I have two trolls who are friends with each other, one in Washington State, the other in Germany (study abroad?). The German IP has been the one messing with my Commons images, but doesn't seem nearly as dedicated (better things to do in Germany?) as the Washington State IP. We had a . I have Dschwhen on the Commons also sympathetic, and I made this point to him:
<blockquote>The question also remains as to the Wikistalking of a User (with no original Commons images of their own) against an accomplished editor. It's problematic to adopt the stalker's mentality of, "Thanks for the free images, Sucker!" because if people feel that a personal vendetta against them and their work will be fruitful, they simply won't contribute. Why go through all the hard work? There's a natural progressing of editing and cropping to media I expect. To have one user decide they are going to nix my file names with that intention in mind, as this User has done, brings it to another level. If I am putting 20-40 hours a week into the Commons and Misplaced Pages to improve the website in ways that, frankly, few people can, then a stalker shouldn't be successful in their stalking. Otherwise, there is little reason for me to be here. --] 20:07, 28 May 2007 (UTC)</blockquote>
I haven't had to take Dschwen up on his offer to resort to further measures - "Frauleinwunder", the German IP's registered name on the Commons and the Deutsch Misplaced Pages, has been inactive. Like I said, possibly better things to do in Germany than in Washington State. I'm building a case, slowly (I'm only up to February!) of my WA Troll's behavior . --] 18:06, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

== Burt Reynolds' Birthplace ==

Hello,

I am a new user, but I'm curious what steps can be taken to prevent somebody from erasing one's additions to a Wiki page? About a week or 2 ago I came across the page on Burt Reynolds and noticed that his birthplace was listed as 'disputed'. I went to the discussion tab and noticed a great deal of discussion there. Being an avid genealogist, I decided to jump in and see what I could lend to the topic as well. What I've found certainly seems to back that the version that he was born in Lansing, Michigan (see the "More genealogical evidence, Burt's place of birth" section). In adding my comments, I've been accused by "Rogue Gremlin" of being Lugnut215 hiding under another name, etc. (clearly because I also had the nerve to disagree with him).

At any rate, I don't have any problem with keeping the debate on the subject to the discussion page, and Burt's birthplace IS listed as 'disputed' on the main page, however, on the article page, he starts the Biography section with "Burt has stated on various talk shows over the years that he was born in Waycross, Georgia to Fern and Burton Leon Reynolds." and leaves it at that. I did not delete or modify anything he typed, but added that other sources (including a phone interview with Burt refererred to in the Lansing State Journal) suggest he was born in Lansing, Michigan. He has deleted my additions which are no less legitimate than his, which are clearly designed to leave the reader with the impression that "No matter what anybody else might tell you, THIS is what Burt says."

I haven't deleted anything of his, but my additions get deleted. It seems reasonable to me that either both versions should be allowed in the biography section, or the biography section should be left at something along the lines of "There is a good amount of debate as to whether Burt was born in Waycross, GA or Lansing, MI (see discussion page)" or something similar.

Hope to hear back from you on this issue. Thank you.

Jkelly,
Thanks for uploading ''']'''. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the ] status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.


I'm asking your advice on the issue of NF pictures where the copyright holder is unknown. I see from the archive that you the "where possible" from this requirement in the NFC criteria. I'd like to know if specifying the copyright holder is a legal requirement for claiming fair use of non-free content. I appreciate that if it is, then "we canot make an exception to identifying copyright holder because research is hard" (your edit summary) but there are some consequences, I think:
As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{Tl|GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the ]. If you believe the media meets the criteria at ], use a tag such as {{tlp|non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at ]. See ] for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
#Almost none of WP's non-free images mention the copyright holder.
#Many such images have attribution/sourcing that is limited to a URL to where the image was found.
#Since, on the web, the source of an image (the web page) is very often not the original publisher of the image, and even the original publisher is not often the copyright holder, it seems likely that criterion 10a is not being met by nearly all non-free images on WP.
#Some editors point out that the copyright holder can be assumed to be the author, or the publisher (e.g. the record label). I suspect both of these conflicting opinions are too simplistic. Therefore one cannot just guess who the copyright holder is.
#I think (but not sure) that licensing info is not the same as copyright info. For example, the photo could be licensed from Corbis but the copyright lies with the photographer.
#Unless the source of the image mentions who the copyright holder is, it would often require a professional search to find out.
#If the copyright-holder aspect of 10a was enforced (and properly, not just taking someone's word (guess) for it), most non-free images on WP would be deleted.
#There is tension at AfD where images are being criticised for failing the second-part of 10a, despite this being true for nearly all other non-free images. I know ] but this is ].
Would it be possible for you to comment on this matter. Any talk-page lurkers with legal knowledge on this matter are also welcome (those whose opinion is uninformed are not :-). Thanks very much. ]°] 12:34, 10 April 2009 (UTC)


:Identifying the copyright holder is really important! Ignoring all of the practical benefits of doing so for the moment, the author of any article containing the potentially infringing content should be very motivated to demonstrate that they were engaged in best practices, or, as we might put it, acting in good faith.

:I think that you're overstating the difficulty here a little. Most of our non-free content is album/book/movie/video game covers. This stuff is just copyright the producer. It's really easy to identify. Maybe we'll get that wrong from time to time when there's an unusual arrangement we don't know about, but I wouldn't worry much about that. Stuff that's just listed with a link isn't properly sourced, so it has a problem beyond just identifying the copyright holder. Who's the author? Where did it come from? If it's just random stuff from some webpage, we should make a replacement ourselves. Stuff from image databases like Corbis is radioactive, and we shouldn't go anywhere near it, so it doesn't matter whether Corbis is the copyright holder. I'm inclined to think that stuff that a) is really hard to source, b) is really necessary for the encyclopedia project, c) fits our criteria for including non-free content (including cannot be replaced in any way) is going to be such a small category that we can take the time to do a search for it. ] (]) 20:25, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

::Thanks for replying. There's a proposal over at ] you might like to comment on. I have a book which credits the cover design to one person and the cover photo to Corbis but doesn't say the copyright belongs to the designer (it might not, I gather, if their work isn't sufficiently original). Could we use such a book cover on WP even though the only copyright on the book cover might be the Corbis photo, which you say are radioactive. Most of the books I've looked at don't claim copyright for the publisher but for photographer/agency licensing the photos used or occasionally the artist. This makes me think the default "copyright belongs to the publisher" is wrong too often.]°] 21:45, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

It has singularly been my goal to respect tradition while allowing a free and spontaneous interpretation...I believe the utility of a quasi-rebirth of some aspects of the ancient religious tendancies would be achieved in an increase of tolerance, sympathy, and freedom of expression in our modern discoures on religion...so much needed. Until we have a cultural revolution tantamount to the politcal revolutions of the 18th and 19th centuries in the area of religion, I will not rest. Until the rebirth of religions which are of, by and for the people, as fluid as art, as deep as mythology and theology and as powerful as culture, I do not believe we will be truly free no matter what economic or political conditions surround us. Democracy without a democratic cultural is as frustrating as it is ineffectual.

Hi, I am trying to get two files (http://en.wikipedia.org/File:NT_Bus_stop_Say_Goodbye_scene.jpg and http://en.wikipedia.org/File:NT_vlog_general.jpg) accepted by OTRS into commons. I have put the ticket numbers onto the respective pages but haven't heard from any OTRS volunteers since I did that. I admit I am fairly new and I may be missing a step, but I believe that copyright permission from the author has been proved (sent to permissions-commons@wiki) and I have done what I am supposed to. I would greatly appreciate your attention/guidance. Thanks, ----aaftabj-- (talk) 16:57, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages talk:Non-free content/Archive 41#Unknown copyright holder?

Jkelly,

I'm asking your advice on the issue of NF pictures where the copyright holder is unknown. I see from the archive that you removed the "where possible" from this requirement in the NFC criteria. I'd like to know if specifying the copyright holder is a legal requirement for claiming fair use of non-free content. I appreciate that if it is, then "we canot make an exception to identifying copyright holder because research is hard" (your edit summary) but there are some consequences, I think:

  1. Almost none of WP's non-free images mention the copyright holder.
  2. Many such images have attribution/sourcing that is limited to a URL to where the image was found.
  3. Since, on the web, the source of an image (the web page) is very often not the original publisher of the image, and even the original publisher is not often the copyright holder, it seems likely that criterion 10a is not being met by nearly all non-free images on WP.
  4. Some editors point out that the copyright holder can be assumed to be the author, or the publisher (e.g. the record label). I suspect both of these conflicting opinions are too simplistic. Therefore one cannot just guess who the copyright holder is.
  5. I think (but not sure) that licensing info is not the same as copyright info. For example, the photo could be licensed from Corbis but the copyright lies with the photographer.
  6. Unless the source of the image mentions who the copyright holder is, it would often require a professional search to find out.
  7. If the copyright-holder aspect of 10a was enforced (and properly, not just taking someone's word (guess) for it), most non-free images on WP would be deleted.
  8. There is tension at AfD where images are being criticised for failing the second-part of 10a, despite this being true for nearly all other non-free images. I know WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS but this is WP:ITISALLCRAP.

Would it be possible for you to comment on this matter. Any talk-page lurkers with legal knowledge on this matter are also welcome (those whose opinion is uninformed are not :-). Thanks very much. Colin° 12:34, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Identifying the copyright holder is really important! Ignoring all of the practical benefits of doing so for the moment, the author of any article containing the potentially infringing content should be very motivated to demonstrate that they were engaged in best practices, or, as we might put it, acting in good faith.
I think that you're overstating the difficulty here a little. Most of our non-free content is album/book/movie/video game covers. This stuff is just copyright the producer. It's really easy to identify. Maybe we'll get that wrong from time to time when there's an unusual arrangement we don't know about, but I wouldn't worry much about that. Stuff that's just listed with a link isn't properly sourced, so it has a problem beyond just identifying the copyright holder. Who's the author? Where did it come from? If it's just random stuff from some webpage, we should make a replacement ourselves. Stuff from image databases like Corbis is radioactive, and we shouldn't go anywhere near it, so it doesn't matter whether Corbis is the copyright holder. I'm inclined to think that stuff that a) is really hard to source, b) is really necessary for the encyclopedia project, c) fits our criteria for including non-free content (including cannot be replaced in any way) is going to be such a small category that we can take the time to do a search for it. Jkelly (talk) 20:25, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for replying. There's a proposal over at Misplaced Pages talk:Non-free content you might like to comment on. I have a book which credits the cover design to one person and the cover photo to Corbis but doesn't say the copyright belongs to the designer (it might not, I gather, if their work isn't sufficiently original). Could we use such a book cover on WP even though the only copyright on the book cover might be the Corbis photo, which you say are radioactive. Most of the books I've looked at don't claim copyright for the publisher but for photographer/agency licensing the photos used or occasionally the artist. This makes me think the default "copyright belongs to the publisher" is wrong too often.Colin° 21:45, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

Hello Jkelly

Dear Jkelly,

I'm reaching out to researchers and writers interested in the emerging, or re-emerging, movements inspired by ancient culture in the areas of religion/theology/mythology/culture...I spare-headed an artistic collaboration between a music professor, rock-vocalist and poet to create a modern multi-media experience of the cathardic journey inspired by ancient pagan poetic traditions; A romance to nature seen as a beautiful, divine and omnipotent woman.

It has singularly been my goal to respect tradition while allowing a free and spontaneous interpretation...I believe the utility of a quasi-rebirth of some aspects of the ancient religious tendancies would be achieved in an increase of tolerance, sympathy, and freedom of expression in our modern discoures on religion...so much needed. Until we have a cultural revolution tantamount to the politcal revolutions of the 18th and 19th centuries in the area of religion, I will not rest. Until the rebirth of religions which are of, by and for the people, as fluid as art, as deep as mythology and theology and as powerful as culture, I do not believe we will be truly free no matter what economic or political conditions surround us. Democracy without a democratic cultural is as frustrating as it is ineffectual.

If you have a moment could you peruse the poetry project site. http://www.misbeliever.net As you are a worker in these areas, having ebhanced the Misplaced Pages, the world's greatest encyclopedia, I would be very honored with any remarks or critisms you could offer either me or my collaborators.

thanks much,

Suspension of admin privileges due to inactivity

Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative privileges of users who have been inactive for one year, meaning administrators who have made neither any edits nor any logged actions in over one year. As a result of this discussion, your administrative privileges have been removed pending your return. If you wish to have these privileges reinstated, please post to the Misplaced Pages:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e., as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised and that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions). This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Room To Roam Waterboys Album Cover.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Room To Roam Waterboys Album Cover.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Misplaced Pages may not meet the criteria required by Misplaced Pages:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Misplaced Pages:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Misplaced Pages policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.

ATTENTION: This is an automated, bot-generated message. This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 01:06, 3 September 2018 (UTC)
