It seems like you've been gone for years, and I've just noticed you back again. I missed you! It just always brings me pleasure to see you editing, or to see you dealing with other editors in your fantastic gentle, respectful manner. I think you were the first administrator I "met" here, and you've set a benchmark for editing that I've yet to see surpassed.

That's all, I just wanted to say hi. All the best! Fuzzypeg★ 12:43, 14 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of User:ZoguShqiptar700, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

My edit to the Christianity page wasn't a test. I meant it as a serious edit.Moby-Dick3000 (talk) 00:42, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I am trying to get two files (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:NT_Bus_stop_Say_Goodbye_scene.jpg and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:NT_vlog_general.jpg) accepted by OTRS into commons. I have put the ticket numbers onto the respective pages but haven't heard from any OTRS volunteers since I did that. I admit I am fairly new and I may be missing a step, but I believe that copyright permission from the author has been proved (sent to permissions-commons@wiki) and I have done what I am supposed to. I would greatly appreciate your attention/guidance. Thanks, ----aaftabj-- (talk) 16:57, 22 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Jkelly,

I'm asking your advice on the issue of NF pictures where the copyright holder is unknown. I see from the archive that you removed the "where possible" from this requirement in the NFC criteria. I'd like to know if specifying the copyright holder is a legal requirement for claiming fair use of non-free content. I appreciate that if it is, then "we canot make an exception to identifying copyright holder because research is hard" (your edit summary) but there are some consequences, I think:

1. Almost none of WP's non-free images mention the copyright holder.
2. Many such images have attribution/sourcing that is limited to a URL to where the image was found.
3. Since, on the web, the source of an image (the web page) is very often not the original publisher of the image, and even the original publisher is not often the copyright holder, it seems likely that criterion 10a is not being met by nearly all non-free images on WP.
4. Some editors point out that the copyright holder can be assumed to be the author, or the publisher (e.g. the record label). I suspect both of these conflicting opinions are too simplistic. Therefore one cannot just guess who the copyright holder is.
5. I think (but not sure) that licensing info is not the same as copyright info. For example, the photo could be licensed from Corbis but the copyright lies with the photographer.
6. Unless the source of the image mentions who the copyright holder is, it would often require a professional search to find out.
7. If the copyright-holder aspect of 10a was enforced (and properly, not just taking someone's word (guess) for it), most non-free images on WP would be deleted.
8. There is tension at AfD where images are being criticised for failing the second-part of 10a, despite this being true for nearly all other non-free images. I know WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS but this is WP:ITISALLCRAP.

Would it be possible for you to comment on this matter. Any talk-page lurkers with legal knowledge on this matter are also welcome (those whose opinion is uninformed are not :-). Thanks very much. Colin°^Talk 12:34, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Identifying the copyright holder is really important! Ignoring all of the practical benefits of doing so for the moment, the author of any article containing the potentially infringing content should be very motivated to demonstrate that they were engaged in best practices, or, as we might put it, acting in good faith.

I think that you're overstating the difficulty here a little. Most of our non-free content is album/book/movie/video game covers. This stuff is just copyright the producer. It's really easy to identify. Maybe we'll get that wrong from time to time when there's an unusual arrangement we don't know about, but I wouldn't worry much about that. Stuff that's just listed with a link isn't properly sourced, so it has a problem beyond just identifying the copyright holder. Who's the author? Where did it come from? If it's just random stuff from some webpage, we should make a replacement ourselves. Stuff from image databases like Corbis is radioactive, and we shouldn't go anywhere near it, so it doesn't matter whether Corbis is the copyright holder. I'm inclined to think that stuff that a) is really hard to source, b) is really necessary for the encyclopedia project, c) fits our criteria for including non-free content (including cannot be replaced in any way) is going to be such a small category that we can take the time to do a search for it. Jkelly (talk) 20:25, 14 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for replying. There's a proposal over at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content you might like to comment on. I have a book which credits the cover design to one person and the cover photo to Corbis but doesn't say the copyright belongs to the designer (it might not, I gather, if their work isn't sufficiently original). Could we use such a book cover on WP even though the only copyright on the book cover might be the Corbis photo, which you say are radioactive. Most of the books I've looked at don't claim copyright for the publisher but for photographer/agency licensing the photos used or occasionally the artist. This makes me think the default "copyright belongs to the publisher" is wrong too often.Colin°^Talk 21:45, 14 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. This little form letter is just a courtesy notice to let you know that a proposal to merge the projects Wikipedia:WikiProject Free images, Wikipedia:WikiProject Fair use, Wikipedia:WikiProject Moving free images to Wikimedia Commons and Wikipedia:WikiProject Illustration into the newly formed Wikipedia:WikiProject Images and Media has met with general support at Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals/Files. Since you're on the rosters of membership in at least one of those projects, I thought you might be interested. Conversation about redirecting those projects is located here. Please participate in that discussion if you have any interest, and if you still have interest in achieving the goals of the original project, we'd love to have you join in. If you aren't interested in either the conversation or the project, please pardon the interruption. :) Thanks. Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 13:25, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Jkelly,

I'm reaching out to researchers and writers interested in the emerging, or re-emerging, movements inspired by ancient culture in the areas of religion/theology/mythology/culture...I spare-headed an artistic collaboration between a music professor, rock-vocalist and poet to create a modern multi-media experience of the cathardic journey inspired by ancient pagan poetic traditions; A romance to nature seen as a beautiful, divine and omnipotent woman.

It has singularly been my goal to respect tradition while allowing a free and spontaneous interpretation...I believe the utility of a quasi-rebirth of some aspects of the ancient religious tendancies would be achieved in an increase of tolerance, sympathy, and freedom of expression in our modern discoures on religion...so much needed. Until we have a cultural revolution tantamount to the politcal revolutions of the 18th and 19th centuries [aiding the rebirth of a government of, by and for the people] in the area of religion, I will not rest. Until the rebirth of religions which are of, by and for the people, as fluid as art, as deep as mythology and theology and as powerful as culture, I do not believe we will be truly free no matter what economic or political conditions surround us. Democracy without a democratic cultural is as frustrating as it is ineffectual.

If you have a moment could you peruse the poetry project site. http://www.misbeliever.net As you are a worker in these areas, having ebhanced the Wikipedia, the world's greatest encyclopedia, I would be very honored with any remarks or critisms you could offer either me or my collaborators.

thanks much,

Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative privileges of users who have been inactive for one year, meaning administrators who have made neither any edits nor any logged actions in over one year. As a result of this discussion, your administrative privileges have been removed pending your return. If you wish to have these privileges reinstated, please post to the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e., as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised and that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions). This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.

Hello. You are receiving this message because of a recent change to the administrator policy that alters what you were told at the time of your desysopping. The effect of the change is that you will not longer be able to request restoration of the tools because of your prior inactivity. You have until December 30, 2012 to request restoration or else the policy will prevent you from doing so in the future; you would need to seek a new WP:RFA. Until December 30, you can file a request at WP:BN for review by the crats. Thank you. MBisanz ^talk 04:22, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for uploading File:Room To Roam Waterboys Album Cover.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.
