Airports in Llión

You have deleted this category and I guess it must be kept, but I have less than an hour since it was deleted. I think that in a categorization, it starts by the countries and then regions and provinces. León is a territorial entity, so I understand if there are categories for municipalities, and so others, It must have one for Airports. Thank you --Auslli (talk) 18:34, 14 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Cherbonnier images

Hello! You tagged two images under Edmond La Beaume Cherbonnier for CSD: Image:Cherbonnier.jpg and Image:Cherb_msmdJ-M.jpg. However, the owner of the copyright, the source web page (linked here), that is linked from both of the file pages, grants permission for use of the images: The copyright holder grants any entity the right to use the photographs on this page for any purpose, without any conditions, unless such conditions are required by law.

What needs to be done to remove the CSD tag, or to clarify that permission has been granted? Thanks! Itstrh (talk) 18:19, 14 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The instructions on the site are contradictory; see the home page [1], which requires some attribution. To follow this, the WP:OTRS can be used to get specific permission for use. Skier Dude (talk) 18:28, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your feedback... The image permissions are quite confusing, the disclaimer seemed more than sufficient to Katie & me... I didn't notice the contradiction on the homepage. I would think the subpage, being rather specific, would override, but I understand Wikipedia wanting to be safe. With that in mind, I don't quite follow what to do with WP:OTRS. I'm a long time browser but still relatively new at editing here, sorry. (Also, I hope I'm using the talk pages right)... Alternatively, would tagging the image as {{Attribution}} be more appropriate and solve the issue? Itstrh (talk) 18:46, 14 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

{{Attribution}} would possibly work; I've more of the 'better safe than sorry' attitude in these situations, and given the site's contradictions, the OTRS would be the 'belt & suspenders' to assure permission received. Skier Dude (talk) 18:51, 14 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the feedback, like I said I'm still trying to figure all this out. Since the contradiction says that all copyrighted content will be noted as such, and that the editor only requests a link back for other content, I think that meets the requirements for {{Attribution}} (probably, technically, even for {{CopyrightedFreeUse-Link}}). I've adjusted the template. (By the way, we did ask if we could use the images, so, aside from the contradiction, I thought we had met all the criteria, sorry for the mix-up.. obviously I'm aware Wikipedia has no record of that permission, but the text on the web page seemed sufficient). I'm not able to remove the CSD tag, how does that occur? Itstrh (talk) 19:08, 14 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of my mis-titled archive page

Thanks. I forgot to add "User talk:Thomprod/" before the title when creating my new archive page. Sorry about that. --Thomprod (talk) 20:45, 14 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

hello

thanks for your queries on the pictures uploaded by me. I would like to clarify about the circumstances in which I obtained them. The following pictures were obtained by me from my colleagues (who handed over to me, the copyrights) during the course of my service at the Naval bases in Vishakapatnam,India and Kochi ,India. ( I am certain that some of my colleagues still have copies of these pictures with them and may have uploaded them to different websites.) .I have a vague idea of the dates on which the photographs were taken ( between 1990 and 2000 ) 1)Marcos.jpg 2)Marcos2.jpg

The file Marco1.jpg was obtained during a training exercise.

The file (Kolkata-class DDG.jpg ) is a jpeg version of the work done by Indian Naval architects using CATIA V5 R14,which was in my possession for some time before it was officially released to the press, by the Indian Navy.

later on I was deputed to the Press Information Bureau ,New Delhi,India by the government of India ,where I obtained the following photographs : 1)Hitsquadspg.jpg ( Independence Day celebration at Red Fort,New Delhi, India) 2)Paracommandos.jpg ( during the Indian Army day celebrations in 2009 ) 3)Indiancommandos.jpg ( during the Republic Day celebrations of India on 26th Jan,2009)

I hope this answers your queries. Regards. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ultrastealth (talk • contribs) 09:00, 19 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

hello

Thanks once again for your response. You have raised certain genuine doubts on the discussion page regarding the authenticity of my claim on the files Marco1.jpg,Marcos2.jpg and Marcos.jpg . I accept my fault in not explaining the circumstances under which the images were obtained. The persons in the above picture belong to the Marine Commando Force or MARCOS (new name).The organization gives priority on maintaining secrecy of its activities. Thus it is very difficult to find images of them anywhere on the internet. These images were taken with an SLR camera (CHINON -reel film type) in the early 90's during the formative years, by my mates (since we were attached to the unit) with the intention of distribution among a few unit members. I purchased the reel from the photographers and subsequently developed the film and later on provided copies to a few unit members. I was hesitant to publish these images on a open forum like wikipedia for the fear of it affecting our career prospects. It was only after the terror attacks on Mumbai on 26th Nov,2008, that I felt the need to publish them. This is because almost all the print and electronic media were flooded with images of the unit members ,who took part in the anti-terror operation . Thus , after consulting with my former superiors I went ahead and uploaded them onto your pages (I took care in selecting only those pictures in which the faces of the members were partially masked , for the sake of privacy). I hope you have got an idea of the situation. If you have further question ,please forward them to me. thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ultrastealth (talk • contribs) 17:59, 22 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Your message

I have commented regarding you message on my page here [2]. Giano (talk) 07:20, 24 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sixteen hours later you stuck the identical template on the file. The source is a watercolour by Edward Hau, painted in 1861. Yet you persist in saying that This image or media has no source information. The watercolour is the source.

If you mean the source of the reproduction, this would seem to be a non issue, as the page also tells us (in a template that you did not remove): under United States copyright law, originality of expression is necessary for copyright protection, and a mere photograph of an out-of-copyright two-dimensional work may not be protected under American copyright law. -- Hoary (talk) 00:51, 25 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Skier Dude, I just came to realize that you had deleted all my pictures on the Every Child Ministries page. I didn't participate in the discussion because I didn't even know it was on. This were pictures I had had taken myself in Ghana. Maybe I don't understand the "used by permission" phrase. I thought this meant I was giving permission to use my photos. What would I have to do to prove that I am the owner of these photos? They add a lot to the article, I think. Lorella Rouster Lorella@ecmafrica.org THANK YOU.

Thank you for the warning, and I mean that sincerely. Without it, this edit war might've lasted till summer! If you aren't already, please keep an eye on the Haplogroup N article as well -- the same edit war between myself and the same other editor is also taking place there. Cheers, Causteau (talk) 04:51, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. You warned us not to revert the pages, but that's just what the other editor just did. Can you please watch-list the pages in question to ensure that, at the very least, no edit war takes place? Best regards, Causteau (talk) 08:50, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again. Looks like we're in a full-on edit war again. Only this time, the other editor is reverting my talk page posts as well! He won't even let that go without attempting to censor or otherwise distort it; I think that's very telling. I mean, how are we supposed to settle this if the other editor won't even demonstrate basic good faith and talk? It's clearly against WP:TALK to tamper with another editor's talk page comments. Yet that's exactly what this other editor has done by deleting mine. And note that he only deleted mine because I challenged him to actually prove his edits, which goes to show that he is unable to do so without resorting to such tactics. Please intervene when you have the time. Cheers, Causteau (talk) 09:44, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Skier Dude,

Regarding this dispute, its only natural that an editor is most likely to blame the other party for everything that is wrong. Just for the record on the deletion of talk page content, I did accidentally delete Causteau's comments. But it was rectified within seconds. Wapondaponda (talk) 10:35, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
