Template:Out of Jimmy's Head (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Delete as redundant. Template only has three entries which also appear in the see also sections of the stated articles. As this is a TV show, the template will grow no larger than it is now. — MSJapan 17:36, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Atomic Betty (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

This template should be deleted. The user who created this template pointed it at a bunch of stubs he created that were so short as to only be a few lines and were mostly material he cut and pasted out of the main Atomic Betty article in the first place. I therefore incorporated all the material back into the main article, meaning the template only has two distinct links, and is therefore unneceesary. — MSJapan 17:18, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, per nom. which seems rational Guroadrunner 10:27, 4 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Template:PD-art-life-50-aus (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Not used, only one incoming link, does not appear to be useful. In particular, images uploaded under this rationale are quite likely to be copyright violations. Though someone may have died 50 years ago, and works created by them may be in the public domain in Australia, they are not automatically in the public domain in the United States, under whose jurisdiction Wikipedia operates. For more information about copyright terms and the public domain under United States copyright law, see Hirtle's chart. Also, we already have Template:PD-art-life-50, which is more accurate (under United States copyright law), though not widely used. Iamunknown 16:05, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. The US is life+70, and does not observe the rule of the shorter term. --Carnildo 20:10, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment, regardless of whether this template is useful my understanding is that artworks which were in the public domain in Australia when the Australia-United States Free Trade Agreement came into effect, ie works of Australian authors who died before 1 January 1955, are in the public domain in the United States in accordance with the agreement.--Grahamec 02:59, 4 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
      • I don't know the specifics of this trade agreement beyond what the article provides, but from the "Intellectual Property Rights" it only indicates that, "Australia agreed to extend its copyright expiration period from 50 to 70 years after the author’s death where copyright is calculated on the basis of the life of a natural person, and 70 years after the first performance or publication in other cases." - I don't understand how that makes works by authors who died before 1 January 1955 in the public domain. Is there something missing from the article, or I am just misunderstanding that passage? --Iamunknown 04:59, 4 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
        • It is not set out in the article and the article needs to be improved. Under legislation passed in accordance with the agreement, Australian copyright protection was extended from 50 to 70 years after author's death with effect 1 January 2005, but copyright protection that expired up to and including 1 January 2005 (ie authors died before 1 January 1955) was not revived by the extension. Under US law, copyright protection is not extended to foreign authors who are not protected under their national law.--Grahamec 08:32, 4 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
          • Comment: As far as my understanding of the FTA goes, I believe Grahamec is correct. Whether a template used for one person is useful is another point. JRG 00:56, 5 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep for now pending the outcome of debates like this. JRG 07:11, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • After thinking about it, I agree that this template should be kept at least pending the outcome of research and debate. --Iamunknown 06:36, 13 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Microsoft Flight Simulator series (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

The vast majority of these links go to the same article: History of Microsoft Flight Simulator. With such a limited scope, there's little point in having a navbox. — Chris Cunningham 09:56, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - useful one-stop look at the many versions of Flight Simulator. Also, from an eventualist standpoint, it will need to be built again if all those individual sections are built into separate standalone articles for each version. -- Guroadrunner 10:24, 4 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Infobox PMP (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

The Template:Information appliance covers all queries of this template, and is virtually used in every 'PMP' (iriver clix, ZEN Vision:M, ZEN Vision W, ZEN V, iPod classic, iPod nano, iPod touch, iPod, Zune, SanDisk Sansa, M6 Mini Player, M3 Music Card and more). In my opinion, there is absolutely no reason to keep this template. Delete. Jw21/PenaltyKillah(discussedits) 01:42, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This infobox is used on the Zune, IPod, M6 Mini Player, and M3 Music Card articles. --Michael Greiner 02:22, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Already converted to Template:Information appliance. Now there is really no article using this template. --Jw21/PenaltyKillah(discussedits) 02:47, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm... it's taking a very long time just to have an admin to attend to these, while the request come pouring in and pushing this one all the way down and into the logs. Should I use WP:CSD? --Jw21/PenaltyKillah(discussedits) 05:28, 6 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The TfD process takes seven days, so this will run to the 10th, so no, they aren't taking a long time. And WP:CSD is not a way to speed up a deletion discussion that you think is running slowly. — Timotab Timothy (not Tim dagnabbit!) 22:59, 7 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Template:PD-self (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)speedy close per WP:SNOWBALL FWIW Bzuk 06:57, 7 October 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Recommend deletion of this license tag in favor of {{PD-user}}. The reason is that this license tag does not specify exactly who created the content (it just says "I...release this into the public domain") and it's left to be assumed that the uploader is the copyright holder. This is normally unambiguous, but there are many cases in which images can be uploaded under a different name and the original upload deleted (for example, when an image is renamed) — in this case, the trail back to the original copyright holder could be lost. Recommend deprecation of this template for now - we can get a bot to convert most usages to {{PD-user}} and humans can handle the change in more complicated situations (for example, when there have been multiple versions uploaded). Videmus Omnia Talk 00:30, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, it says quite clearly, I, the copyright holder... There's usually no ambiguity about who owns the copyright. —Remember the dot (talk) 01:43, 4 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Per above. Djmckee1 - Talk-Sign 06:21, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, no reason to be ambiguous. ^demon[omg plz] 13:33, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Do we have the technical capabilities to move to Template:PD-user? First, we will have to change every single transclusion ... I imagine that is quite a lot. Of course, we can use bots, but bots aren't going to get it right all the time - e.g. if an image file were uploaded, later another revision (say, a crop of the first) were uploaded, then the first were deleted, a bot would indicate that the copyright holder is the cropper, not the original uploader. Second, at upload, we don't have an input box that allows the uploader to indicate who the copyright holder is. --Iamunknown 15:56, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • As of now, there are about 136,000 images marked with {{PD-self}}. The main thing I would like to accomplish is to deprecate this template for now (to stop any new usages) and change the MediaWiki upload interface to use {{PD-user}} instead - shouldn't be a big deal for the devs. Then we can have a bot run through and change transclusions for images with only one version in the history, which is the vast majority based on the survey I've been doing through the free image cats over the past few days. The ultimate goal is to get all the image page data into a standard machine-readable format so that author of each image can be easily read, this is just a proposed initial step. You hit the nail on the head with your statement above - when a new version of a {{PD-self}} is uploaded, you can't immediately tell who the copyright holder is. Videmus Omnia Talk 16:13, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Bot-fix images with one uploader per Videmus Omnia. But I would imagine that if someone uploads a new version without changing the license tag, then that person licenses his or her changes under PD-self as well. --Damian Yerrick (talk | stalk) 17:24, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep {{PD-user}} does a very poor job of saying who created the content. We would lose a lot of source information by switching to that template. —Remember the dot (talk) 18:44, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete and Bot-fix per VO. Agree 100%. This tag is much misused and abused. The -user tag would make it easier for others to verify the identity of the user that claims ownership. -- But|seriously|folks  18:46, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. Eliminating ambiguity is good. EVula // talk // // 19:16, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    After reading the below, I'm unsure about deleting this template. EVula // talk // // 04:39, 4 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep this is not ambiguous at all. Furthermore, they are not the same license tag. This template (PD-self) is for the copyright holder, which sometimes is the creator (photographer), however PD-user is only for the creator (photographer) who doesn't own the copyright. This is especially true in situations when freedom of panorama is involved; an example would be someone taking a picture of People's Square's sculptures. As with changing MediaWiki, the status quo is that license tags are applied by a template only; no other parameters or syntax. —O () 03:16, 04 October 2007 (GMT)
  • Comment -- if PD-self is deleted, will that mean that lots and lots of images will lose their licensing, meaning that something like Betacommandbot could tag them incorrectly for deletion? What is the safeguard if deleted that the images tagged don't end up without any licensing information? -- Guroadrunner 09:55, 4 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
