Bob Healey on WP:DYK

Hi. Bob Healey has been submitted to WP:DYK to appear on the main page's "Did you know?" section. His DYK nomination page is at Template:Did you know nominations/Robert J. Healey if you'd like to rewrite or alter any of the "hooks". It'd be great to have a public domain photo to go with the hook given Healey's distinctive appearance. 72.74.202.241 (talk) 18:30, 21 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading a photo. I added it to Bob Healey's article and provided a link on the DYK nomination page. 72.74.201.9 (talk) 00:46, 24 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Steampunk bird2 6 25 x 9 5 .fw.png

A tag has been placed on File:Steampunk bird2 6 25 x 9 5 .fw.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

File permission problem with File:Machinery Of Freedom Cover Dave Aiello.png

Thanks for uploading File:Machinery Of Freedom Cover Dave Aiello.png, which you've attributed to Dave Aiello. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 22:20, 26 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edit at Block chain (database)

Hi, you justified the edit 714772250 as follows: '"permissioned blockchain" is an oxymoron. Blockchains do not require permission to participate by design and by definition. Claiming otherwise is to describe something other than a blockchain.'

I want to discuss a couple of things:

block chain is not a "permissionless" database in the sense that everybody can authorize any transaction. Only the user knowing the corresponding private key can sign a transaction that can be accepted.
I know that when you use the word "permissionless", you mean that everybody can participate in transaction checking, mine new blocks, and submit new transactions, but without that explanation, the formulation is misleading for uninitiated people.
You state with certainty that "Blockchains do not require permission to participate by design and by definition. Claiming otherwise is to describe something other than a blockchain." I think that this is fine, but it needs a confirmation by a reliable source. Do you happen to have any acceptable reference at hand? Ladislav Mecir (talk) 10:21, 12 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
