The date Remington put Sholes and Glidden Type-Writer on market

You wrote "on the market on July 1, 1874."http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Sholes_and_Glidden_typewriter&diff=prev&oldid=316952063 Please show me the root data--Raycy (talk) 20:35, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

That diff is an expansion of the lead. As the lead is merely a summary, the source is present where that date is discussed in body (the "Start of an industry" section). As of that revision, it was page 14 of Krystal, Arthur (2007). The Half-life of an American Essayist. David R. Godine Publisher. ISBN 1567923283. Searching Google for "Sholes and Glidden 1874" will also yield numerous additional sources, to say nothing of the additional sources indicated in the Bibliography section - all of the Richard Current works, for example.

Hey

Glad to see you again; hope you stick around! SandyGeorgia (Talk) 01:59, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

Hi Sandy! Long time no speak. I'm actually off to Russia this Saturday for three months, so I'll be on sporadically, if at all (depends on whether I'm in town or the village). Эlcobbola _talk 02:17, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

Have fun-- you'll be missed, as always. Drop an e-mail! SandyGeorgia (Talk) 02:20, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

Be careful what you wish for, lest you end up with pictures of onion domes, pot holes and trolley-buses in your inbox. ;) Эlcobbola _talk 02:30, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

With color adjustments, I presume! I might return something equally interesting! SandyGeorgia (Talk) 02:36, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

Ok, that one was new to me. Better than the Pequot bobber, but inferior to the Lindstrom kettle. I doubt I'll ever understand Minnesotans, or Americans for that matter. Эlcobbola _talk 02:53, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

Experienced image reviewer needed

Hello, I nominated St. Michael's Cathedral, Qingdao for FA, and have been told that it needs the eyes of an experienced image reviewer before it can pass. If you have some time to look at it and comment, that would be appreciated. Most of the images that appear were shot by me and released into the public domain. ɳorɑfʈ ^Talk! 13:01, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

Tosca

Hi, I notice you have taken a peek at Tosca. I wonder if it would be possible for you to pass a comment on the image licencing? Most of these images were not added by me, and I have a few doubts on some of the licencing. Any help you can give here would be much appreciated. Brianboulton (talk) 11:03, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for your input. The difficulty I see is that as Puccini did not visit the US until 1907, most images of him were taken in Italy, and might still be copyright in Italy, which is death plus seventy years. Can you look in on the discussion now ongoing on Brian's talk page and opine either there or on the Peer Review page? This is a headache and I've been spending hours looking for images taken on Puccini's 1907 and 1910 US visits, with little luck so far.--Wehwalt (talk) 14:22, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

May I add my thanks for your helpful comments, much appreciated. Now that the image discussion seems to have abated, I have summarised the outstanding issues on the talkpage, here. I have a problem following up Jappalang's recommendation that the theatrical scenes be removed from Commons until authorship is establishe; how does one remove files from Commons? Perhaps you'd advise me? Brianboulton (talk) 15:26, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

FAC for 2009 International Bowl

Hello. If you have a chance would you please review the image File:2009 International Bowl trophy.jpg that's mentioned as a potential issue in the FAC for 2009 International Bowl. I'm not sure if this image is correct as licensed and would appreciate the input. –Grondemar 15:25, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

Hi Grondemar, I've commented at the FAC. Эlcobbola _talk 15:48, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for replying so quickly! I got an email confirmation on File:Turner Gill Introduction.jpg; please see the FAC page and let me know what further action to take if any. –Grondemar 16:37, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

Thank you

		The Reviewers Award
		Elcobbola, thank you so much for your image reviews at FAR today - they were much needed. I hope to see you around there more in the future, as image reviews (as well as overall reviews) are constantly in demand. Thanks again! Dana boomer (talk) 02:41, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

Thank you kindly, Dana. Even if I'm not actively editing, I'm always watching, so feel free to ping if there is ever one that needs a review. Эlcobbola _talk 12:33, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

New message

Hello Elcobbola, my name is Rahul, and I came across your edits on Preity Zinta's article. When you have the time, could you please take a look at Kareena Kapoor's article and over your inputs here? I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks :) -- Bollywood Dreamz ^talk 17:10, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

Hi Rahul, I've commented on image issues there. I don't know whether you were interested in comments on the entirety of the article, but, unfortunately, I don't expect I'll have time to do a complete review for at least a month. Эlcobbola _talk 16:50, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

Edmund Evans

Hi, if you have time, would you mind doing an image review for the FAC for Edmund Evans? Thanks. Truthkeeper88 (talk) 00:27, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

Looks like Jappalang beat me to it. I can chime in there if you still need me to, but things look fine. Эlcobbola _talk 15:09, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

Goebel

There is also this image of Goebel, if you think it is preferable to any of the ones we've found so far. It was created in 1890 or 1891 according to the source. Acdixon ^{(talk • contribs • count)} 15:19, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

While I do think it is of superior technical quality, the source, unfortunately, does not provide information sufficient to support a PD claim. The 1890-91 date is creation, not publication. Except in certain, limited scenarios (not applicable here), the date a work was created is not relevant to the copyright term in the United States. Эlcobbola _talk 18:09, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

Can I have your opinion

Can I get your opinion as to whether File:Wotton station (Brill Tramway) 1906.jpg is free-use or not? It's definitely taken more than 100 years ago (it's one of a series taken by Sydney Newton between 1894-1906), and while it was almost certainly published at the time I can't actually verify a publication date before 1974. It's currently used on a FAC (Wotton (Metropolitan Railway) railway station) and a prospective FAC (Brill Tramway), so needs its status clarified sooner rather than later. (I can make a legitimate fair use claim for both usages if need be, since it illustrates a long-demolished building.)

Thanks! – iridescent 10:27, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

Unfortunately, without a verifiable publication date, I wouldn't be comfortable asserting it to be public domain. That said, there may be something of a loophole that could allow you a slightly alternative approach. As "publication" wasn't a defined term before 1976, subsequent case law has determined that installation of a work in a public place where no attempt at preventing duplication (e.g. photography) was made can be considered "publication". That being the case, would you be able to determine (verifiably) whether this image was so displayed before 1923? Эlcobbola _talk 14:48, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

Not really. I can verify that the collection was passed to the Leicestershire Museum and Archives before that date, but can't confirm which were selected for display. The collection wasn't formally indexed until 2003 (or if it was, the original entry was lost) so it's impossible to know what was done where. The Great Central Railway, for whom the series was taken, ceased to exist on 1 January 1923; I'm not even sure how one would determine the current copyright holder to ask consent. I think I may go down the fair-use route with an explanatory note (as I've already done with File:Bagnall at Quainton (cropped).jpg), even though I don't like using fair-use images if I can help it. – iridescent 15:30, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

His Band and the Street Choir FAC image review

Hi and thanks for the review. Would you mind checking the rational again on the images to see if they now pass criterion three? If not could you give me some pointers on what needs to be done or links to the image criteria, because I don't fully understand how it works? Thanks  Kitchen Roll  (Exchange words) 19:24, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

Hi Kitchen roll, I've responded there. I've tried to articulate some issues more fully and have wiki-linked the two relevant policies (WP:IUP and WP:NFCC). Эlcobbola _talk 19:35, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

Hi again. Can you reply to my replies please :) Cheers  Kitchen Roll  (Exchange words) 18:31, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

Don Valley Parkway FAC

Hi there, you commented at the featured article candidacy for the Don Valley Parkway a few days ago, and opposed based on the use of non-free imagery. I have removed / replaced every photo, and applied the correct licences as pointed out. I'm hoping you can come back and review your decision. Cheers, ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ ^τ _¢ 04:59, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

I have responding to your question on the FAC page, you can respond there if you like. My apologizes for the late reply.

Hi Эlcobbola! Thanks for pointing out the problems with the images for the Pe̍h-ōe-jī article. After rereading the guidelines on licensing, I believe I've fixed the issues you raised. I would appreciate it if you could take another look and let me know if there are any remaining problems. Thanks! Taiwantaffy (talk) 00:29, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

Last image fixed now too (hopefully!) Taiwantaffy (talk) 03:58, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

Loretta Jones

Can you help me find a free image of the actress instead please? Loads of images on google search, but I know pap shots always have copyright. How do you go about getting one released into the public domain. There is one image on flickr too. Most sites include email adresses by the pictures for inquiries.RAIN the ONE (Talk) 17:15, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

My suggestion would be to email the author of this image (his email address is in his profile) to ask whether he'd be willing to release the image under a free license. Example requests are here. If he agrees, he could either update the license on Flickr or you could forward his email to OTRS. Otherwise, however, I don't know that other currently available options (i.e. searching Google) have any reasonable likelihood of success. Unless we're fortunate enough for a still-liivng celebrity to be photographed by a Wikipedian, we're seldom able to obtain free images. Эlcobbola _talk 18:06, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

Query...

On Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Miss Meyers/archive1, I've had an oppose over fair use of a picture of the deceased horse. Given that every other horse FA currently uses a very similar fair use rationale, I'd like a second/third opinon, if you have time to give one. Ealdgyth - Talk 21:29, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
