Oregon photos

I'm no photographer or anything, but your photos are absolutely brilliant. Thanks for uploading them.--Chopin-Ate-Liszt! 22:26, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Excellent photos. I wonder when someone is going to get rid of that huge tree that's partially blocking the view of Punch Bowl Falls? It was there in 1992 when I last visited the falls. Wahkeenah 00:44, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the comment, yes someone should move that tree branch.

Speaking of excellent shots, the photos you've taken of Chicago are really something; take it, if you will, from a native who wondered if it was possible to render something so commonsight in such a pretty light. russ. 08:53, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the comments on the Chicago pictures, I lived in Chicago for many years. I hope to go back to visit and take more photographs.

Oregon photo licensing

Kkmd, I love your photos of locations in Portland. I was wondering if you might consider releasing at least some of them under a Creative Commons license as well as the GFDL; this would make it easier for those of us who do not want to use the GFDL for our own work to make use of your excellent images. Let me know what you think. Thanks! --Makaristos 14:01, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Let me look into it, not really sure about the different licensing types. I just picked the GFDL for the photos that I upload.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Kkmd (talk • contribs)

Thanks. One of the major problems with the GFDL is its length; it's kind of hard to use because you have to reprint the entire license when you use a GFDL text or image. The CC licenses, especially the ShareAlike licenses, ensure that your rights are still protected in terms of forbidding the sale of the text or image, while allowing its reproduction under a much less restrictive license than the GFDL. --Makaristos 23:02, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

In any case, it is good practice to upload images to Commons so that they may be used in other Wikimedia projects. Thanks, Cacophony 23:57, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

How do I log onto Commons and what is it?

Sorry, I didn't give the best link. This one is the welcome page that provides an introduction. This serves as the central stocation for all Wikimedia projects, and enables media to be shared with different language Wikipedias as well as other projects. Cacophony 01:00, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Wahkeenah Falls

What became of the stone bridge? Or is it simply hidden by the shrubs in your photo? Wahkeenah 00:29, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

How do I reply to message without having to "Edit"? Not sure where the stone bridge is, took that photo a while back, I might go back to the falls and take more pictures of it.

You could click on the username link and add something to the user's talkpage, or you could enter it here, assuming I'm "watching" your talkpage, which is not necessarily a given. Wahkeenah 22:17, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

WPOR Collaboration of the Week

Greetings WPOR member, we are starting a weekly collaboration project where we will announce two articles that are currently stubs that we hope to work together to improve. No pressure to help, but if you would like to, just stop by one of the articles and see if you can find information to expand the article with, copy edit what is there, help with formatting, or add some images. This week’s articles are: Alis volat propriis and Fusitriton oregonensis. Aboutmovies 22:25, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

WPOR Collaboration of the Week

Greetings WikiProject Oregon employees. Well a big thanks to all those who helped improve Alis volat propriis and Fusitriton oregonensis last week. This week’s Stub improvement are: Government of Oregon which should be easy, and Miss Oregon. Again, no pressure to help with the collaboration, choose one, both, or neither. Also, feel free to opt out of the notifications at the new page dedicated to collaborative efforts at WPOR (newsletter is in R&D). Aboutmovies 18:48, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

WPOR Collaboration of the Week

Hello again WikiProject Oregon team members, its time for the next Collaboration of the Week. First a shout out to Sprkee for putting together some templates for this project. Now, in honor of Labor Day weekend and the outdoor nature of the activities that often accompany the three-day weekend, this week’s item is to de-redlink as many parks from the List of Oregon State Parks. Some may even by going to one of these places, a great opportunity to take a picture or two for an article. As always, participation is not required, though it is appreciated. And if you are caught, we will disavow any knowledge of your existence. Since we don’t want to waste any effort through duplication, please make a note on the talk page of which park article you are going to start. Good day! Aboutmovies 19:34, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

September WPOR Collaboration of the Week

First off, great job to all WikiProject Oregon folks for last week’s List of Oregon State Parks work. We pounded out six new state park articles: Sarah Helmick, Bald Peak, Bob Straub, Sumpter Valley Gold Dredge, Tumalo, and Peter Skene Ogden. Plus numerous other edits to improve the existing articles. As a reward, we are introducing the COTW award {{WPOR COTW award}}, and this time it goes to User:Woodstein52 for starting three of the articles.

On to this week. We are back to the usual two Top importance Stubs: Sunstone and Oregon, My Oregon. Both are stub pluses, so it shouldn’t take much to upgrade them both. Again to opt out or suggest future collaborative efforts click here. Good day! Aboutmovies 22:33, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

WPOR Collaboration: 09172007

All righty WPOR ladies and gentleman, great job last week with our state song and gemstone. I have bumped them up to Start class. I haven’t looked at the contributions, so the COTW award will be later. This week’s articles are Darlene Hooley, by special request, and another Top stub, our very own state rock, the Thunderegg. Yes, apparently we have a state rock and state gemstone. No word on whether there is a state stone too. Hooley basically needs some sources to make it to the next level. Again to opt out or suggest future collaborative efforts click here. In the words of Beaver Joe, whoop! Aboutmovies 18:05, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Image source problem with Image:Seattledowntown.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:Seattledowntown.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 14:13, 26 December 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rockfang (talk) 14:13, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

Image tagging for File:Seattledowntown.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Seattledowntown.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.

License for File:Willametteriverboat.jpg

Your Image:Willametteriverboat.jpg

Move to commons representation

The image Willametteriverboat.jpg is a candidate to be copied to the Wikimedia Commons. When you uploaded this image, you licensed it for use under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL). On behalf of the Wikipedia and Commons communities, thank you.

You also chose a license tag which adds disclaimers to the GFDL. As explained at Wikipedia:GFDL standardization, these disclaimers cause certain re-use problems that make the GFDL less free than it could be.

Before I copy this image to the Commons, I wanted to ask whether you would be willing to remove the disclaimers from your GFDL tag. No one other than you may legally alter the license. If you do choose to modify the license on this image, I respectfully recommend any of the following best-practices license tags:

• {{GFDL}}
• {{GFDL-self}}
• {{GFDL-user}} using the syntax {{GFDL-user|YOURUSERNAME}}
• {{self}} multilicense using the syntax {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-3.0}}

You are under no obligation whatsoever to alter the license. Doing so merely cooperates with those members of the community who believe that disclaimers in individual media are undesirable. Wikipedia consensus still allows GFDL licenses with disclaimers, as does the Commons.

Whether or not you choose to remove the disclaimers, thank you for your consideration.

Please also see Wikipedia:Copyrights and Wikipedia:Moving images to the Commons for more information. This message was placed using Template:License disclaimer notice.

Thanks! —Ipoellet (talk) 04:39, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for your consideration. I have gone ahead and copied the image over to the Commons. If you later choose to change the license tag, please remember to do so at the Commons, where the file name is File:Steam tug PORTLAND - Portland Oregon.jpg. Thanks! Ipoellet (talk) 22:53, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
