Maps of Korea

I got them from Korean web sites. Various places. I doubt they are copyrighted. They are all from government sources. So, I do not think there is anybody behind to claim the copyrights.

Salut,

D'après ce que j'ai vu sur la page de MRW : tu est étudiant en histoire, première année. J'ai pour toi une bonne, et une moins bonne, mais bonne nouvelle quand même.

• La bonne : c'est qu'on essait de construire ceci : Histoire pour étudiants en Licence ; pour organiser en commun le travail des étudiant en histoire sur wikipedia.fr.
• l'autre, c'est que tu trouvera plus d'info sur Villèle ici : Jean-Baptiste Guillaume Joseph, comte de Villèle.

Le wikipédia USA est beaucoup plus riche en ce qui concerne les biographies historique, même pour les biographies d'hommes français. Pour les autres fait historique, les 2 wikis se valent, et se complètent. Yug

Gay rights map

Bonjour, I do not know if I have the time to edit it, as someone change the colouring scheme after I made an edit to the image on my hard drive, but never bothered to upload it. - Earl Andrew 06:29, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Adrian Rogers

Dozenist is planning to add some less controversial views held by Rogers (such as his support for close-knit families and strong parental involvement).Jersyko 06:21, Mar 23, 2005 (UTC)

Hardly a stranger

Actually, I feel I do know of you, as I often see your name popping up on my watchlist. Good work! Thanks for your contributions to Wikipedia. Cheers, -Willmcw 10:49, Mar 23, 2005 (UTC)

mmmm

Response: Something the casual observer would find insignificant enough to deserve laughter. The bitterness and entitlement is fading away. BTW...RE: TK-P, how are some of those articles going to be managed? Lotsofissues 09:12, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I would prefer to rewrite but I know nothing about the subject - didn't stop me from rewriting Cosmo. :-)

Church of Christ edits and a question

Zan, thanks. I hope someone goes through my changes with a jaundiced eye.

Also, is there a list of articles that need to be translated? I can translate from Spanish to English. Danlovejoy 15:23, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Orange Mound

I've enjoyed reading some of the articles you've written/contributed too... Your Orange Mound project caught my eye. What prompted you to develop an article on the Orange Mound neighborhood (rather than say, Midtown or Cooper-Young)? I lived in Memphis while in college and I've often thought about developing more Memphis articles but I lack motivation. Good luck! --Chiacomo 07:29, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Daylily

Daylily version 2

Zan I uploaded this cropped version of the daylily pic cause I do agree with the guy who said it looks good except for the wall in the background...do you think we should nominate this version or just stick with the original? -- user:JennaMarie83

Image Copyrights

Hello! Take your time with that Sweet Tea pic, not a big deal at all, seriously. As to your inquiry, my first thought would be if the photograph had artistic merit on its own you would probably be ok. If however you just took a dead on photograph of the logo and cropped it you might be treading the line. But that said, the man to ask is Quadell. He spearheads the Image Tagging Project and the Image Sleuthing Project, and as such knows a bunch about image copyrights. I think he just moved so he may be MIA for a couple days. Drop him a line! --MaxPower 13:07, 2005 Apr 11 (UTC)

Hungary stubs

I've been adding {{politician-stub}} to most of them. john k 14:19, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Image copyright

Hello Zantastic. This is a tricky area of the law. When you take a photo that includes a logo or other copyrighted work, you own the copyright to the image - but you might be violating the other copyright-holder's copyright. This is where fair use comes in. It is certainly a fair use of the Nike logo to take (and even publish) a photo of a guy wearing a Nike shirt. Some really copyright-paranoid companies won't publish a photo that includes a logo "just in case", but there's no way a suit like that would succeed. On the other hand, if you were to publish a photo of a Nike logo, where it was clear you were simply trying to reproduce the logo, a fair use claim wouldn't hold up. In the case you mentioned, with tea brands showcase, it would be best if you used a pic of the whole box, and not just the front of the box. You want it to be evident that the majority of the artistic content in your work is your own, and that the photo is not intended to be a reproduction. Then, if I were you, I'd tag the photo as {{GFDL}}, but leave a note on the image description page that the inclusion of any copyrighted logos is contended to be "incidental" and a fair use of the material. Hope this helps, – Quadell ^{(talk) (sleuth)} 17:22, Apr 11, 2005 (UTC)

I replied at Commons:Commons talk:Copyright tags#Photos of branded products. dbenbenn | talk 21:47, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I got a response from my copyright professor. He analogized such photos to photos of buildings, which are specifically allowed so long as the buildings are visible from a public place. However, he was not *certain* that photos of branded products would not be fair use, adding that it might require a case-by-case analysis. I sent him another e-mail with specific examples, so hopefully I can post a more definitive answer soon. In any event, it seems the law is by no means clear cut in this area (so now I don't feel so bad about not knowing the answer :) ). - Jersyko 22:09, Apr 12, 2005 (UTC)

Even "public" buildings aren't always safe... I read a copyright case where the courts held that a single "copyrighted" building constituted too much of the infringing use for fair-use rules to apply. As an aside, the same 'relative proportions' fair-use test seems to be a more common way copyvios occur on wiki. Feco

<editorial comment>You know, it's really a shame that we have to take time to deal with a question like this. If only the United States had sensible copyright laws . . . </editorial comment> - Jersyko 22:24, Apr 12, 2005 (UTC)

Posting Copyvios

I came across the EdmundKean page that you copyvio'd. I couldn't find it cross listed on WP:CP, which is where all copyvio pages are supposed to be referenced. The current copyvio notice is unclear, so users don't always know that they must manually add pages to WP:CP. The squiggle-bracket {{copyvio}} isn't cool enough to do that automatically. I had been making the same mistake until another user told me about it. Apologies if you're aware of all this already. Feco 00:37, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Per our conversation, please take a look at User:Feco/Templates/copyvioDRAFT. It's a re-worked copyvio template that addresses the problem we discussed (it also attempts to address some other things). Review Template talk:Copyvio for more. Feco 01:37, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Tooth Enamel

Hey, i saw you nominated tooth enamel for featured article statuts. While i completely agree with you that it deserves to be featured, do you think we should submit it for peer review first (Wikipedia:Peer_review)? I guess it could obtain featured status without it, but its chances might be better if it went through peer review first, especially since i think a lot of people might be turned off by the number of dead wikilinks in the article (even if Dozenist does go back and write stubs for all of them eventually ;) ). - Jersyko 15:31, Apr 30, 2005 (UTC)

NAS

Aloha. I believe the book you added to New anti-Semitism, La nouvelle judéophobie is the original version of the English translation that is already listed as Rising From the Muck : The New Anti-Semitism in Europe. Both of these listings should be merged, somehow. --Viriditas | Talk 23:59, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

audentis/audaces fortuna iuvat

Don't know about that "other user", but the sources, as I stated in my revert before, quite clearly have audentis, not audaces. I really think we should stick with the original and mention alternative versions in the body of the text, as I did (which addition does not make a lot of sense the way it is now ;-)) Regards T.a.k. 11:28, 14 May 2005 (UTC)

Bible Adventures

Awesome edits to the Bible Adventures page :). However, the picture seems to have disappeared with the addition of the (very cool) infobox. I don't know how to fix it, but i'm hoping you do. - Jersyko 22:17, May 19, 2005 (UTC)

How odd. No matter how many times i refresh, i can't see it in mozilla, but it shows up in IE. Oh well. Yes, please feel free to add the infobox to the other articles. We need to finish writing those articles too . . . - Jersyko 01:52, May 20, 2005 (UTC)

Schoolwatch.

Howdy,

Thanks for taking interest in User:GRider/Schoolwatch. May I suggest that in the future you place kept schools in User:GRider/Schoolwatch/Archive, using the existing format. This greatly simplifies maintaining schoolwatch, and gives it a more polished appearance. Also that archive will eventually be used to make a statistical argument that most school's survive VfD, so it's important that the archive be maintained. Again, thanks for editing.

Cheers, --Klonimus, 04:43, 21 May 2005 (UTC)

My talk page

If you don't like me deleting comments I dislike from my talk page, please discuss it with me. Reverting my talk page to a version I dislike is rude and confrontational IMO. Frankly, I'm not interested in anything FM has to say, nor in anyone else taking up his crusade of hysterical theatrics against me. I find it very telling that Mel Etitis, a user I have had near constant conflict with, chose to bring these groundless claims to my attention, rather than a neutral party. I wasn't interested in hearing it, and I deleted it. I will do so again if necessary. If you disapprove, discuss, rather than revert my user name space. Thanks, Sam Spade 08:54, 21 May 2005 (UTC)

What Sam characterizes as "hysterical theatrics against him," I call an attempt at rehabilitating him and educating others while seeking justice for his personal attack and subsequent attempts to cover it up. FeloniousMonk 15:12, 21 May 2005 (UTC)

Photos to be transferred to commons

Are you interested in any specific photo or it is just a general suggestion? I will transfer all of them, no problem. Cheers! --Viosan,

SS

Thanks for your comment, and for trying to keep Wikipedia open and above-board. Although it's generally considered bad manners to delete comments from your own Talk page (except for archiving), and often suggests that you have something to hide, it's not actually forbidden. SS is well known for deleting comments that show him in a bad light (a look through the History of his Talk page is illuminating), and it provokes comment occasionally, but although there's another User who's the subject of an RfC for similar behaviour (see Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Neutrality (2)), I don't think that that's really justified. I'd let him try to hide the criticism — it isn't really hidden, and the attempt does nothing but show him up. Thanks anyway. Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 22:44, 21 May 2005 (UTC)

Out of interest, this is from Wikipedia:Talk etiquette FAQ:

Can I blank my talk page whenever I want?

There's no hard-and-fast rule that says you can't, however many people will suspect that you are trying to hide something or ignore other contributors if you do it too often. Most users do archive their talk pages periodically to a personal subpage -- either when the page gets too large, on a regular schedule, or when they take a wikivacation.

In the past, attempts at reasoning with certain problematic users resulted in their use of this tactic. In that case, the removal of material on a talk page is viewed as a kind of vandalism and incivility, which combined with other issues may be grounds for a case before Arbitration.

So there you have it... Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 11:14, 22 May 2005 (UTC)

Removing info from talk pages

I noticed your enquiry. People remove content they don't like from their talk pages all the time. It never goes, as it's in the history. It is not something one should do on article talk pages, but your own is a different matter. Cheers, --Silversmith 01:00, 22 May 2005 (UTC)
