File copyright problem with File:Anima SL.jpg

Hi, the entry associated with this image was deleted. Yet, they did not bother to delete the image and left it behind as an orphan. So I was trying to delete it, but only managed to remove the copyright information. I left a note for the image to be removed, so please do so. Thanks. Kazkura (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 23:33, 29 July 2009 (UTC).

Done. MBisanz 00:24, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:FLVDownloaderMainWindowScreenshot.jpg

Hello MBisanz! This is a screenshot of a software program by BinaryMark that I created, so in effect I am the copyright holder for the screenshot. If there is something I must do, like change the license, please let me know, as I am realtively new to uploading content to Misplaced Pages. George585 (talk) 12:56, 15 July 2009 (GMT+3)

Copyright for the picture at http://en.wikipedia.org/File:Anil_aggrawal%27s_internet_journal_of_forensic_medicine_and_toxicology.jpg

Dear Matt, Many thanks for your kind message. This picture was created by me, and I have sent an Email as suggested by you. Please let me know, if I have to do anything else. Warm Regards Anil Aggrawal

What happened on this AFD?

I've been going through cleaning up "orphaned" AFDs- usually ones that were closed but the action wasn't taken, and I came across International Teaching Seminars and Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/International Teaching seminars. Did you not delete it because it was moved, making it seem like the work was already done? If so, I'll delete it. If there was a bigger reason, I figured it was worth me coming and asking rather than simply deleting and being wrong. tedder (talk) 14:04, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

My fault, I didn't notice the move. I've fixed it. Thanks for the note. MBisanz 03:32, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

No problem. I've been going through and cleaning up old AFDs. tedder (talk) 03:53, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

Re: deleted "File:Ev26221 KlyuchevskayaSopka.A2004012.0035.500m.jpg" ‎ (Deleted because "WP:CSD#F4". using TW)

The image File:Ev26221 KlyuchevskayaSopka.A2004012.0035.500m.jpg was recently deleted because of the uncertain licensing information. I doubt that this is appropriate, as the image, most probably, is the result of transformation of the data available from NASA, which, IIUC, should be in the public domain. Please consider, e. g.:

• https://lpdaac.usgs.gov/lpdaac/products/modis_policies — LP DAAC MODIS policy;
• https://lpdaac.usgs.gov/lpdaac/products/modis_products_table/surface_reflectance/daily_l2g_global_1km_and_500m/v5/terra — the MODIS product the image might be derived from;
• https://wist.echo.nasa.gov/ — the inventory tool.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure about the image origins, and I'm having trouble finding the logs for the file in question prior to its deletion. Is there a chance of identifying the original uploader and contacting him (her)?

— Ivan Shmakov (talk) 05:48, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

I went and found the source and am restoring the image. MBisanz 06:54, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. I've brought the image back to the “Moderate-Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer” and “Imaging spectroscopy” pages. Ivan Shmakov (talk) 11:34, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

File:Marine-raiders.jpg

In regards to this file, you deleted it based on WP:CSD#F11, which states "the item may be deleted seven days after notification of the uploader." I was never notified. Could you please undelete it and give me some time to track down the correct information. Thanks, Kingturtle (talk) 01:43, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Done and I added the correct information. MBisanz 02:02, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

This is a perfect candidate for commons:Commons:PD_files, so I will move to commons. — Rlevse • Talk • 02:06, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. I'll get on it tomorrow. Sincerely, Kingturtle (talk) 02:35, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/List of franchises established on Nintendo consoles

Hi. It looks like you weren't notified that your close of WP:Articles for deletion/List of franchises established on Nintendo consoles is being reviewed at WP:Deletion review/Log/2009 July 23#List of franchises established on Nintendo consoles. I am interested in any comments you may have. Thanks. Flatscan (talk) 03:08, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your quick (immediate!) response. Flatscan (talk) 03:43, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Autoreviewer

Thanks for the upgrade per-say. I don't remember requesting this status, so exactly why have I been upgraded from a rollbacker to a rollbacker and autoreviewer? Just wondering, I was surprised by the change.--WillC 04:03, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Any new page that autoreviewer creates is automatically marked as patrolled. iMatthew  at 10:56, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Yep, I saw you doing good work and decided we could flag your edits are automatically reviewed so people could focus on retiewing less experienced editors' work. MBisanz 11:39, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Alright, thanks.--WillC 22:22, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Also thanks for the confidence and trust, Matt. I think it's good to establish editor trust levels below that of admin, as not all of us need the admin behavioral tools but I think it does increase article quality and reduce the amount of resources needed and multiple checking that's done to allow non-admin editors to have lesser levels such as Rollbacker, Autoreviewer, and maybe Surveyor and Reviewer rights when flagged revs (in whatever version) become common. Thanks. — Becksguy (talk) 02:56, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the upgrade to autoreviewer! --Skizzik 20:41, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Ask and ye shall receive, kind of. That's the closest thing to an action shot I have.--ragesoss (talk) 03:37, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Clive Fiske Harrison

Could I ask you to take a look at the AfD on this as your actions on a previous AfD, now rehashed as part of this, on Alexander Fiske-Harrison have been questioned? When evaluating the Clive Fiske Harrison article it may be worth looking at the link to a series of sources in the comment I have added to the AfD discussion - they can also be found . I also think your business background may give a better evalution there (the lead financial journalist for The Times does not say, "one person whose views I respect" for no reason, nor does the City editor of the London Evening Standard quote them, nor does Debrett's Distinguished People of Today give them an entry for their work in business. In this area, notability is very definitely not synonymous with celebrity.) --Fiskeharrison (talk) 10:25, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

I may stop by yet, but it looks well trafficked already. MBisanz 00:24, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

FYI

Someone asked me about Beta's IRC bots at User talk:Hersfold#RE: Betacommand. Beta, Rjd, and I have already responded that they're not an issue, as are his bots & tools on other projects, but I figured I should let you know just in case you had something to add. Hersfold non-admin 18:49, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

I'm confused

Re your message to me about File:Golden kiwi ticket.jpg. You said : """I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.". So I, as the photographer who created the the image, as clearly explained in the upload file, am not the creator of the file? Moriori (talk) 09:03, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

I understand you may have created the file. What I am not certain of is if you own the copyright to the piece of paper you took the photo of. It appears the copyright would be owned by the New Zealand Lotteries Commission and unless you can show that both the underlying subject is in the public domain and that you release your photograph of it to the public domain, it would not have permission from all copyright holders. Hope that helps. MBisanz 09:08, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Not really. I could go through all of the steps needed to get an OK. But, much easier to simply junk it. Moriori (talk) 21:55, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Licence for the image

I do not see what is the problem with this image licence: http://en.wikipedia.org/File:Dnevnik.jpg - I am author of that picture and I clearly stated that it is "self made" and used "PD-self" tag for it, so what else you want me to do? PANONIAN 11:17, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Ok, I saw your previous discussion with other user here, so, if I understand correctly, you are concern whether I had a permission to take a photo of that newspaper frontpage, right? Well, I did not had any permission from anybody - I just bought that newspaper in the shop and took its picture, so, if you consider that a problem, then delete the image (it is bad image anyway since it is too blur and it is not a photo that I could be proud of for creating it). PANONIAN 15:02, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Ahh, that clarifies it. Well I see the relevant article has no image whatsoever, and if I changed the license from PD to Fairuse, it could be used. Would you like me to do that? MBisanz 15:06, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Well, the image is already deleted, but whatever - as I said, it was image with bad quality, so if I create any other image of this newspaper in the future then we can discuss its proper licence. PANONIAN 20:35, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Your FLC nomination

Misplaced Pages:Featured list candidates/List of City University of New York institutions/archive1 has seen some recent comments, along with an !oppose. Closures are scheduled for Saturday, so if you have time to address them, please do so. Regards, Matthewedwards :  Chat  05:13, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Oooh! Didn't see that. I'll get to it tonight. MBisanz 08:57, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your help with the withdraw. Thanks. AHRtbA== 18:07, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

G'day MB

The temperature seems to be rising on the 'case request' page about risker and geogre - could you have a look at archiving / collapsing / resolving it? - the arb votes seem pretty established? - there may be a 'more harm than good' case to think about for the text remaining. I've mentioned to Durova that I find her posts there rude, and I think for that, and probably other reasons, it's sort of bubbling up as a problem... cheers, Privatemusings (talk) 21:52, 31 July 2009 (UTC)oh, and thanks in advance for any time and attention :-)

I did stuff. MBisanz 23:36, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

coolio :-) - ps. I just noticed that there's a request in to clarify something about my case (I wonder if anyone was going to drop me a note? ;-) - anywhoo... I saw you recused - if it's a 'geez, I really can't be bothered to deal with anything PM related right now' then that's cool - but I thought it might be worth noting that from my perspective, I don't think it's a big deal who 'clerks', and I certainly wouldn't be calling for your recusal, though I'd be sure to pipe up if I thought you were bungling at all - worringly enough, I've been finding your posts and contributions rather sensible for a little while :-) Privatemusings (talk) 00:08, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Quick question

Hey just wondering, what does "changed rights for User:Salavat from (none) to Autoreviewers (+trusted)" mean exactly. Salavat (talk) 14:14, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

It means that when you create new pages, the system will automatically flag them as "patrolled" so that users reviewing new pages won't need to spend time looking at them. Basically a way of saying you are competent enough that I trust you to create new pages. MBisanz 20:41, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Ok, thanks for that. Salavat (talk) 03:04, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

Obama article amended remedy

Hey there - I notice you've archived the Obama probation Arbcom case remedy amendment proposal (not sure how to order those seven nouns), recorded the amendment to the decision, and notified the affected parties. However, to clear up a potential ambiguity, you may want to note (if true) that the time periods of the amended sanctions run from the date of the original decision rather than the date of the amendment, i.e. six months or one year from 21 June 2009, not from 2 August 2009. Thanks, Wikidemon (talk) 17:57, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
