Modele space

Hi there! I speedy deleted a pair of articles you created with the prefix "modele". I'm unfamiliar with this namespace, and on further consideration after deleting them, was hoping to discuss this with you. Could you tell me what they're for? If it's perhaps a legit tool for interwiki'ing or something, let me know and I can undelete them, and let me know where I can read more about it. Best regards, CHAIRBOY (☎) 06:05, 12 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it's a modele from Wikipedia in french, it's to say that the link is in french, or in english, or whatever. MaThQc 06:10, 12 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please provide some documentation or other examples showing this in use elsewhere? I don't mean to be a stick in the mud, but I'm concerned that this may be a well intentioned but misdirected series of edits. If I'm wrong, I will tender my apologies of course, but I'd really like to see an example of where this is used first. Thanks! - CHAIRBOY (☎) 06:45, 12 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Québec: Métropole?

Salut MaThQc...j'imagine que tu parle français puisque tu as écrit "ONU" plutôt que "UN" ;-)... À propos du mot "Métropole"...en général, on l'oppose à celui de "Capitale," la métropole étant un centre d'affaires, à vocation économique, tandis que la capitale représente une fonction gouvernementale (c'est le siège du pouvoir). Parfois, les deux villes sont la même (comme pour Paris en France, et Londres en Angleterre). Parfois, elles sont distinctes (ex. New York et Albany, Dallas et Houston, Los Angeles et Sacramento). C'est le cas pour la province de Québec: Montréal est la métropole, Québec la capitale, ce qui va dans le même sens que l'usage courant au Québec (on a qu'à se souvenir de Télé-Métropole et Télé-Capitale). Le sens du mot étant sensiblement le même en anglais, je crois que l'on devrait donc s'abstenir d'affubler Québec de cet attribut...de plus, l'usage de l'adjectif "métropolitain" (metropolitan) ne signifie pas nécessairement qu'il s'agisse d'une Métropole. Archiesteel 22:32, 14 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"It's the metropolis of the east" isn't right. Metropolis doesn't mean the same thing as metropolitan area, or as métropole in French. Are you saying that Quebec City is the largest city in eastern Quebec, because that's an entirely different matter. Skeezix1000 01:33, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Hoteldevilledequebec.jpg

Hi. Great image. But I note that you appear to have added copyright information to the image itself. Wikipedia:Image use policy states: "user-created images may not be watermarked, distorted, have any credits in the image itself or anything else that would hamper their free use, unless, of course, the image is intended to demonstrate watermarking, distortion etc. and is used in the related article. All photo credit should be in a summary on the image description page." It would be great if you could upload the image again, without the credit in the image itself. Skeezix1000 00:42, 5 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hum, I taked this picture myself, and it's my name on this picture, and I'll not erase my name. MaThQc 06:31, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

I understand that you took the picture. But adding your name to it is contrary to the Wikipedia policy mentioned above. Skeezix1000 11:18, 5 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Another user edited the image to remove the copyright cite. Skeezix1000 01:18, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In Canada, where you live, you can be put in jail for doing it. There is a law about copyrighted things and the syndic of journalist of Quebec and Canada can do a complaint about the Wikipedia. Just a little word it, I Will check it what I do later with my syndic. MaThQc 12:38, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

I'm not really sure what you are talking about. First, I was not the one who cropped the image -- please check the image history before you go make accusations. Second, you licensed the image as GFDL when you uploaded it -- which grants permission to others to modify it. Third, as mentioned above, it is Wikipedia's image use policy that images NOT have credits in the image itself. If you disagree with the policy, and prefer to have credits within the image, then do not upload it to Wikipedia. --Skeezix1000 13:47, 29 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Unspecified source for Image:Rtc-2.jpg

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

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

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BigDT 04:51, 12 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Logo vdq g.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Logo vdq g.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. 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 Wikipedia (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 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 04:34, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
