Image Tagging Image:Saugeenstrip copy.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Saugeenstrip copy.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you can claim fair use use {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or {{fairuse}}. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. 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 unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thanks so much. --David Johnson [T|C] 18:43, 19 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

User_talk:David_Johnson#Response_to_your_comments

Hello, in response to your message on my talk page:
With regards to the article, it just seemed a little far-fetched to me, that's all. I added the tag so that other editors would check to see if they can find sources/references for the information. You've now provided links on the talk page which confirms the info, so I'll remove the tag. Thanks for contributing the article!
As for the image, what I'd suggest is that you forget about the current image and upload the original unmodified images, with a link to the sites you took them from in the description page for each image. If you do that then leave a note on my talk page with links to the images, I'll add the correct fair use copyright tags to them for you. David Johnson [T|C] 19:12, 19 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading new images. I've now tagged them with the appropriate fair use tag. However Image:Saugeenstripper.jpg has no URL and isn't used on the page - is it surplus to requirements? If so, let me know and I'll have it deleted. I've also added a delete tag to the original image you uploaded, since it's now been replaced. Finally, could you edit Image:Pasqualoni.jpg and add the URL for that to the description please? That will help someone determine to copyright status for you. Thanks! --David Johnson [T|C] 21:36, 19 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

re: your message on my Talk page.

I'm not an Admin, so I don't make the actual delete decision. The AfD process allows interested parties to give their reasons for deleting or keeping an article and the Admin makes the decision. I've given my opinion, as have others. That's all either of us can do. If it gets deleted, it's nothing personal. You can call me Al 04:54, 30 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Tokyojoe: don't forget to vote keep on the AfD page if you think it should be kept. David Johnson [T|C] 16:03, 30 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Personal attack

This edit of yours had the words "revert due to vandalism". It is not acceptable to refer to other editors as vandals is this manner. Wikipedia has a clear definition of vandalism, which you should read carefully. Also, read WP:NPA, as personal attacks are a blockable offenses. --Rob 01:41, 31 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism warning

This message is regarding the article you recently deleted. Your change was determined to be unhelpful and the article has been restored. Please use the User:Mac_Davis/Sandbox for any tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing. Thanks. -- Mac Davis ญƛ. 13:41, 31 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Mac, I am the original author, and I have been fighting a battle to keep this article on wiki for days now. I have essentially given up, and posted a go ahead and delete on the AfD page. As such, I merely blanked the page as a way to help the process along. No vandalism intended. Tokyojoe2002 13:47, 31 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Sago Mine

We can always change the title later, 'tis true. I'm not really familiar with mining terminology so I don't know what else to call it.

I just nominated it for the current events section of the main page, which if it gets added (I can't imagine it won't) will attract lots of other editors, more skilled than you and I. Daniel Case 04:04, 3 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The image

I would avoid any image or graphic from a media outlet's web site. It's usually copyrighted (check the page you took it from). Daniel Case 04:21, 3 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This article was deleted by Adam Bishop after I closed the AfD, with a summary of "undoing failure of AFD". Mind matrix 18:26, 6 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

User:DESiegel has left a brief response to your message on Adam Bishop's talk page. Note that in Wikipedia, there is no such thing as a "higher admin" - all admins are equal in terms of the options available to them. There are some Bureaucrats which have two extra privileges, which would have no effect in this instance. Mind matrix 18:41, 6 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, I found out by checking the deletion log. Mind matrix 18:42, 6 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with Image:Wvminers.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Wvminers.gif. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images on Wikipedia is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. You can get help on image copyright tagging from Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags. -- Carnildo 09:00, 3 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Saugeen Stripper

No problem. I could have dragged it out and eventually made it right (or at least formed an actual consensus), but I would have had to fight every step of the way and I just became disgusted with the whole thing. I get real tired of POV pushers and admins who use convenient interpretation to enforce their desires as "consensus". There was never any consensus at that article for a redirect, and the fact that the redirect has been protected for years now proves it. Consensus isn't achieved by protecting articles so people can't edit. But what can you do? I just don't have the energy for that stuff anymore. Cheers.
