User talk:Broccoli and Coffee

Thanks again for your help on Marilynne Robinson back in January 2019 -- I have a question :)

Hi again Broccoli and Coffee,

You were so kind and helpful helping me with the Marilynne Robinson article. I implemented your advise and have since moved on to other articles.

I had a question and tried asking on Wikipedia:Teahouse, but it was "archived because there was no discussion for a few days." I hope you will point me in the right direction, again! Below is my Teahouse question:

How to upload low resolution Fair Use art with copyright?

RE: Upload art history images under copyright. Article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Empire_of_Light . Using: Visual Editor.

There is a Wikipedia article on a series of around a dozen artworks by an artist who died less than seventy years ago. The article already has low resolution images of three paintings in the series (example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:The_Empire_of_Light_Guggenheim.jpg ). I have low resolution images for the rest of the paintings to upload. I have tried to “Locally Upload” reduced size, low resolution images. I am using the plain form for local uploads: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Upload . Whatever I do it says its -- open to Speedy Deletion.

Info to include with images: "Fair use image of art: Image unsuitable for commercial purposes. Reduced size image for educational and informational purposes to enable visual identification of the object of the article."

Example of Picasso copyright painting on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Les_Demoiselles_d%27Avignon.jpg (Also, where is the form for “artist” rather than “author” ? ) It would be wonderful if someone would walk me through this step-step!

Hi Beth. Is it my understanding that you'd like to upload more images to the The Empire of Light article? If so, as you suggest, if they are copyrighted works, they would need to have a non-free use rationale. You can read Wikipedia's page on the subject at WP:FURG. This page should answer several of your questions. You're right to suggest that the images would need to be reduced in size and quality. You can find other examples of how to write a fair use rationale at WP:FURE.

Beyond that, I'm not sure how else to help. I rarely upload images here so I'm not the most qualified person to ask. You can, however, visit the Commons Help Desk, where others may be able to help you. Best of luck! – Broccoli & Coffee ^{(Oh hai)} 05:59, 11 May 2019 (UTC)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Tom_Barbalet

I am writing to ask for a review and reversal of the deletion of the wikipedia entry about me and my project, Noble Ape. The entries deleted were created by a series of listeners to my podcasts from 2007 through to about 2013. To be clear, I am only interested in the reversal for Noble Ape and Tom Barbalet on Wikipedia. The other two articles are less important to me.

While I appreciate the articles that were deleted were not ideal, the articles Tom Barbalet and Noble Ape did represent my work in a form which was comparable to others who have contributed a similar extent to the field of artificial life and still actively represented on Wikipedia - OpenWorm, Critterding, Avida, Boids, Polyworld.

They also show through Wikipedia and external academic references (http://www.nobleape.com/sim/#Academic) that my work is not a walled garden. It has contributed to a number of different areas and been used by Apple and Intel for their development.

As the article on Artificial life organizations also shows I have also fostered a community of developers and dialogue in the field of artificial life.

Probably unknown to you through this process is that a number of the external references to Noble Ape are currently being suppressed through payment to Google and other search sources by a comedian who aggressively promoted a comedy tour and album under the same name from 2016 to the present. This has lowered any chance of finding external references to Noble Ape.

I continue to work on Noble Ape to this day totaling more than ten hours per week on average. This is a voluntary effort to further ideas in social evolution, philosophy and open source software. I appreciate that working on Wikipedia is also a voluntary effort. I thank you for your time and considering my request to appeal this deletion.

Barbalet, I'm neither an administrator, nor am I the one who nominated these pages for deletion. You can read about your options on the page WP:AFTERDELETE. – Broccoli & Coffee ^{(Oh hai)} 03:28, 13 May 2019 (UTC)

Broccoli and Coffee, so only Jo-Jo Eumerus or another admin can undelete the pages? Many thanks. Barbalet (talk) 05:18, 13 May 2019 (UTC)

Lauren Slater

According to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Division of Professional Licensure, Psychologists are licensed by the Board of Psychologists.

A complaint has been opened by the Massachusetts Board of Licensure, Office of Investigations, regarding Lauren Slater's misuse of the term "Psychologist" in her online promotions and Twitter Account, on which she has recently changed her title to "practicing psychotherapist". See here: https://twitter.com/LaurenSlaterI

From a letter dated October 15, 2018, from the Office of Investigations, Massachusetts Board of Licensure, is this quote: "Use of that title (Psychologist) is prohibited in Massachusetts unless you hold a current license from our Board of Psychologists. There is no record of Lauren Slater ever holding any license from our Division. I am opening our own complaint against Ms. Slater for using the title "psychologist" in violation of Massachusetts General Law Chapter 112, Section 122."

Lauren Slater has never been a licensed Psychologist, according to the governing body in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, but she can be classified as an unlicensed "Psychotherapist". Please make the appropriate corrections to her Wikipedia page.

Request on 08:13:19, 20 May 2019 for assistance on AfC submission by Hongbuirydell

• Hongbuirydell (talk · contribs)
  • Draft:Christoph Stückelberger (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Dear reviewer, may i ask your advices on my article of Prof. Christoph Stückelberger?

He is one of the most experienced professors in Ethics subject in Switzerland. We have not found any information about him and his contribution to Ethics. That is why i did research and wrote an article about him. I read our policies and did not give any personal view. The article is purely information with the quotes from reliable websites, not from his blogs, personal website and so on. May I ask your advices on how to improve the article to meet wikipedia's requirements?

Thank you very much for your advice.

With best regards,

Hong

Hongbuirydell, Right now, the draft reads like a resume, rather than an encyclopedic article. It seems to only be a list of his education background and various jobs he's had. I'd recommend reading WP:YFA and WP:PROF. – Broccoli & Coffee ^{(Oh hai)} 16:51, 20 May 2019 (UTC)

Confusing edit

Trying to clean up WP:POD. – Broccoli & Coffee ^{(Oh hai)} 17:43, 23 May 2019 (UTC)

This doesn't "clean up" anything--it just inserts needless code. The banners already categorize correctly. What is wrong with Category talk:English-language podcasts as it is now? ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 01:07, 30 May 2019 (UTC)

A cookie for you!

Thanks for bringing my post in the Quentin Tarantino talk into the right section. Maxvorstadt (talk) 19:52, 4 June 2019 (UTC)
