Thanks for uploading the nifty image Image:World war one web alliance.jpg. Do you have any additional information on it you could add-- eg, source, artist, date? Thanks! Cheers, -- Infrogmation 11:06, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
I had my google web history turned off when I found it):... I've tried to found the site again, but no luck... I'm going to put in articles between the Franco-Prussian war and WWI, perhaps someone that sees it will know about it & source it; any suggestions about appropriate articles?--victor falk 15:04, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
Air Algérie
Hey - I've been reverting the changes on Air Algérie and Royal Air Maroc that assert Royal Air Maroc is smaller than Air Algerie. (I have no personal interest in the matter, I started watching RAM and noticed this trend) I saw your comment ("Repeatedly reverted assertions with no references despite request distracting from lead of the article; moving it a bit for down for now.") and I wanted to show that I'm trying to not edit war, but instead I'm trying to solve the issue. ([1] [2] [3]) I believe there are actually good sources that RAM is larger than Air Algérie (Talk:Royal Air Maroc#Royal air maroc is larger than Air algerie). I wondered if you had any suggestions about how to deal with an anonymous editor who won't discuss (it looks like the 3 IPs I warned are all the same editor). Thanks --Matt 23:05, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
Questions
Hello Infrogmation:
I found my way here by looking for messages about fair use of images. I haven't tried to bring any images to Wikipedia, but in editing text I have seen enough to realize it is tricky.
I would much appreciate if you would answer a couple or three basic questions, OR point me to the right place to find the answers.
I understand about copyright, in general terms. I don't understand the process of verification related to images.
1) If I take a photograph that may be useful in a Wikipedia article, HOW DO I TELL/CONVINCE/PROVE TO WIKIPEDIA that (a) I actually took the photo and (b) that I'm making it freely available? (I know that I am honest, but Wikipedia doesn't know that.)
2) Same question except suppose the photo was taken by my brother-in-law? (he is actually a photographer.)
3) Suppose the photo is from a website outside Wikipedia (say www.xyz.com) and they send me a e-mail message saying their photographer took the photo, and it is fine to use the photo in Wikipedia. I sent a request to www.xyz.com, and they replied, and I have their e-mail, but how can I prove to Wikipedia that it is a bona fide e-mail and not something I edited?
Any help you can give on this would be appreciated.
Thank you, Wanderer57 01:39, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
Your block of User:216.213.209.185
I'm puzzled by your reasons for this block - I found one test edit/piece of vandalism by this user, which I reverted, along with a couple of others I found when checking the user's contributions. I gave the user a {{uw-test2}} warning, as there had only been one previous warning (yours). As I understand it, a user should receive the full set of warnings before being blocked. I'd appreciate any insight you have on this. Many thanks. – Tivedshambo (talk) 06:43, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
- Don't expect Infrogmation to abide by Wikipedia:Please do not bite the newcomers or related policies. He shouts at newcomers and reverts valid edits simply because there is a problem with quite separate edits by the same contributor. When challenged he tries to pull rank and acts like he owns the place.217.42.13.130 12:48, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
