== Tea Party amount ==

Welcome to Misplaced Pages! I'm a giant Paul fan myself, but you'll notice there are a lot of folks who will hold you to strict neutrality here, so be careful. It is my understanding the campaign announced $6.0 million actually raised even though the widget went up $6.4 million in the 24 hours. The $.4 million in offline receipts was not necessarily received on 11/16, and (being a Sunday) probably wasn't, given the campaign's statement; we have no source that it was in fact received 11/16 (HNN does not address this, relying only on the widget number). While we have sources for both $6.0 and $6.4, we should either state it as a conflict, or resolve the conflict unarguably. IMHO the evidence favors sticking with the $6.0, but if you want to use some neutral wording like "between $6 million and $6.4 million", that'd work with the sources cited. But we may not favor one number in the light of a conflicting number without resolving the conflict. Anyway, as a new editor, you would do ''very well'' for yourself to demonstrate your neutrality by picking some compromise version (or going right back to the $6.0) before someone else does. Trust me, that's a lot better than trying to defend a pro-Paul edit in the face of conflicting sources. I'll wait to see how you handle it, but I might step in tomorrow if nothing happens. Thanks! ] (]) 22:09, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
:I'm serious, they will come after you if you keep it up, it will not help the "improvement of Misplaced Pages" to fight this battle on the article page itself. Your Ambinder source says $6.6 million, not $6.4 or $6.0. When you have conflicting numbers, don't insist on one of them without ''talking'' it out or demonstrating unarguable proof. Obviously only one of them is correct, and we cannot presume on which one without consensus. But "over $6 million" is correct regardless. I would strongly encourage you not to fight this particular battle and instead learn useful stuff like ] instead. It would greatly help your reputation to think of a neutral way of accomplishing your goal and revert yourself accordingly. Thanks. ] (]) 22:57, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

One way to keep people from accusing you of canvassing to stack discussions is to make sure you notify people you know disagree with you. In the case of the ], which seems to be headed to "delete", you informed only editors you knew to be Ron Paul advocates.

Making Changes to Photographs
The 1976 Copyright Act grants the "fair use" of copyrighted materials for a variety of purposes, for the creation of new works, for educational use, and for personal use.


==Question==
QUESTION: What if the student or teacher were to change the attributes of a picture.
Is the Korean armed resistance during 1992 L.A. riot necessary? It's covered in the riot's article. ] (]) 15:01, 20 September 2010 (UTC)


== Nomination of ] for deletion ==
ANSWER: Yes. This would be considered fair use for education, comment, criticism, or parody. One must inform the audience that changes were made to the photographer's copyrighted work.


<div class="floatleft" style="margin-bottom:0">]</div>The article ''']''' is being discussed concerning whether it is suitable for inclusion as an article according to ] or whether it should be ].
Fair use normally entails copying and is of three kinds:


The article will be discussed at ] until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.
1. Creative fair use by authors who copy from other works to create their own work.
2. Personal fair use by individuals who copy from works for their own learning or entertainment.


Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. ] ] 01:07, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
3. Educational fair use by teachers, scholars, and students who copy for teaching, scholarship, or learning.


==Deletion of ]==
The fair use statute is section 107 of the copyright statute, which is printed in full in Part IV. It provides that "the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies," is not an infringement of copyright. As exemplars of fair use, it lists "criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research" and provides four non-exclusive factors to be used in determining whether a use is fair. They are:
*The article was renominated ] and I closed it. However, I don't see that you were notified of the second nomination, so I've undone the deletion, for now. ] 16:18, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
(1) the purpose of the use, including whether the use is a commercial use or for non-profit educational purposes;
::: I've brought the discussion to ]. ] 16:48, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
(2) the nature of the work;
:::: Based on that outcome, it's back on the table at ]. ] 20:48, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
(3) the amount used; and
(4) the effect on the marketing of the work. These factors are discussed below.


== ] ==
Fair Use and New Communications Technology
The application of new communications technology created by computers developed after Congress enacted the 1976 Copyright Act. Consequently, application of fair use to the transmission of material by computer, e.g. on the Internet, merits special mention.
Originally, fair use was a judicial doctrine that one author could make fair use of another author's work in creating his or her own new work. If the amount used was fair, the method or scope of distribution made no difference. If, for example, Author X made a fair use of the work of Author Y, the fact that Author X's book sold a million copies did not divest the material of its fair use status.

Due to repeated near-identical unban requests, showing a lack of understanding of the problem, you are limited to one unban appeal per year.

Today, fair use is a statutory right that applies to all copyrighted works and all rights of the copyright holder, and whether a use is fair is to be determined by applying the four factors listed in the statute. Since the method of distribution is not one of the statutory factors, it follows that the distribution of material by electronic rather than print media is not the decisive issue. The important point is that if the amount used does not unlawfully interfere with the copyright holder's marketing monopoly, it is a fair use.
The Fair Use Doctrine, which was codified in §107 of the 1976 Act, excuses certain infringing uses of a copyrighted workThe exception is for materials put to work under the "fair use rule." This rule recognizes that society can often benefit from the unauthorized use of copyrighted materials when the purpose of the use serves the ends of scholarship, education or an informed public For example, nonprofit educational purposes.

You already know how to link to a diff, because you have done it in your report, and you can see in my above message how to link to a version.

Also, if you want your report to succeed, you should clearly show what is being reverted, for example, say the user wants to include the words "foo" or "bar" each time, and others are removing it.

Thank you for your contributions. Please remember to mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Bilderberg Group, as "minor" only if they truly are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes, or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. ×××BrightBlackHeaven××× 21:28, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Your recent edits to the article were reverted with the comment "We're not sourcing to birther websites". Please look through the WP:RS policy to understand why this is correct.

Orphaned non-free image File:Climategate.jpg

⚠
⚠
 Thanks for uploading File:Climategate.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Misplaced Pages (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. NW (Talk) 18:45, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

The article only states "(dubbed "Climategate" in the media)". Their is not a section as to the Etymology, yet there is over 2 million hits on Google. NFCC #1&8 states, "significantly increase readers' understanding of the topic, and its omission would be detrimental to that understanding." The screenshot clearly illustrates the media (FOX News) using of the phrase. So if there is no written section about the media "dubbing" the Incident it can only be represented by a photo, how are we to get one that is for free/fair use (Note: that almost half of the ref used in the article use the word climategate). As far as Contextual significance Climategate became very controversial and garnered lots of media coverage, a screenshot of that term in news coverage would likely be appropriate.--Duchamps_comb MFA 22:33, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

Repeated copyright violations

You have just re-uploaded File:Climategate.jpg, which was speedily deleted on 30 November 2009 as a blatant copyright violation. Please do not do this again, as repeated copyright violations are likely to lead to an automatic indefinite block. -- ChrisO (talk) 18:47, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

Climategate image

Hi can you tell me why the file Climategate.jpg had a copyright violation? I took the screen shot myself. Also can you tell me why you speedy deletion the file? File added on 18:37, 23 July 2010 deleted on 18:50, 23 July 2010 looks like the file lasted a whole 13 minutes? --Duchamps_comb MFA 19:29, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

OK, I'll explain this for you. There is a long policy page at Misplaced Pages:Non-free content and a set of criteria at Misplaced Pages:Non-free content criteria which you should read but I'll give you the gist of them.
Fair use images are permitted on Misplaced Pages but only in certain very limited circumstances. In the case of television screen shots, they are acceptable for critical commentary about television. An example might be a screenshot from a particular TV show, which is used in an article about that show. However, the usual presumption is against using any fair use images where a free alternative might be available. In the case of your Climategate.jpg image, it failed Misplaced Pages:Non-free content criteria, specifically criterion 1 - that the information it contained (which in this case was just the text of the chyron) could be represented in the article text. When it was deleted on 30 November 2009 by User:Black Kite, he wrote: "F7: Violates non-free use policy: Screenshot which will never pass WP:NFCC#1, any information can be given in text." NuclearWarfare deleted it under the same rationale, but he could just as easily have deleted it as a re-created version of a previously deleted file. Restoring deleted copyright violations is strictly not allowed. -- ChrisO (talk) 19:52, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
ChrisO I was not seeking your answer. Please do not post again on my talk page regarding this issue as you seem to be on a point making mission that is hounding and stalking me. You comments will thus only fall on deaf ears. I will await NW's answer as well as other admins who would like to answer.--Duchamps_comb MFA 21:04, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
I'm sorry you feel that way and I apologise if I've given you that impression. I'm simply trying to give you some advice and pointers to Misplaced Pages policy, since I've been involved for many years in dealing with copyright issues on Misplaced Pages. I don't think NW or any other admin would be likely to tell you any differently. -- ChrisO (talk) 21:39, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
I agree with ChrisO's original statement of 19:52, 23 July 2010 (UTC). You may wish to ask User:Stifle or User:Fastily for a third opinion, both those admins have been uninvolved entirely with climate change as far as I know and also work in NFCC enforcement. NW (Talk) 22:38, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

Korean armed resistance in the Los Angeles riots

Hello. I'm writing to let you know that I found copyright issues on this new article. There are whole sentences copied from a New York Times article. This really isn't OK. We must use our own words. I want to give you a chance to fix the problem before anything else is done. We must not have major portions of articles that duplicate the contents of their sources. Dawnseeker2000 17:10, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

I see something other than direct quotes as the problem. These two sentences are a direct copy of the New York Times article:

One of the most gripping and, increasingly, controversial television images of the violence was a scene of two Korean merchants firing pistols repeatedly from a military stance. The image seemed to speak of race war, and of vigilantes taking the law into their own hands.

We must use our own words. I see that there's a history of copyright problems with your additions. Thanks for your invitation to work on the article but I must say that I'm not interested in helping out there. I'm only interested in keeping the articles tidy and to build this encyclopedia by the book. Can you please re-write the problem areas using your own words? Dawnseeker2000 17:28, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

Nomination of Second Revolution flag for deletion

The article Second Revolution flag is being discussed concerning whether it is suitable for inclusion as an article according to Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Second Revolution flag until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Yaksar (let's chat) 01:07, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
