Image watermark questions

Phroziac,
I saw your edit summary on Image:Strength.jpg copyvio mentioned the watermark on the image. I've been looking for precendent with regard to watermark, can you feed me a link? I can't find this discussed. Thanks,

I wasn't very clear before, sorry about that. I'm not interested in this image (which I have now looked at and am... speechless) as I am interested in the watermark. I have an image with an embedded copyright watermark that has listed as its creator a Yahoo! e-mail address. It seemed to me that permission from an anonymous e-mail user is not sufficient to overcome the problem of the embedded copyright. Which is what I was actually asking, sorry. But thanks for the images burnt into my retinas! *_*

Sam Sodje/WP:Vain

If you feel that the Sam Sodje article was vanity, you should have listed it on wp:vfd rather than just redirecting it to Wikipedia:Vanity guidelines. KeithD (talk) 16:15, 17 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I redir'd that article through IAR, as I feel it is a better way to remove vanity then VFD. It was suggested on some Wikipedia: talk page about vfd a while back, and I liked the idea and decided to try it on an article or two. I just google'd that and meh, maybe he's borderline notable, so I won't touch it. I usually google first. --Phroziac (talk) 16:25, 17 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
(Have copied what you said on my talk page to here, so that the conversation flows better. If you answer here from now on, I'll make sure I watch the page so that I can keep up with what's being said).
I think it's probably better to deal with vanity in the traditional way. As far as I'm aware, extreme vanity (such as "KeithD is the coolest person in the whole world") can be speedy deleted by adding the template {{db|vanity}}. Cases where notability is in question, such as a footballer for a smallish team like Brentford, I'd say are probably better off dealt with by concensus rather than unilateral decision. KeithD (talk) 16:32, 17 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I doubt the betterness of the traditional way, but I will argue with myself on if I should use the traditional way or not for a while. I would definitely stop if even one other person told me to though (Partially because i've had other people tell me to keep doing it). By the way, the advantages are that it can be undone within policy if it is really not vanity (aka a screw-up), it gives admins more time to do more important things, and technically it reduces database size. Yes, that is speedyable, and infact, if it's one line of extreme vanity, it is speedyable under "No content". Unfortunately extreme vanity was only recently added to CSD, see Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Sam Toupin. Of course you might have already known that. --Phroziac (talk) 16:48, 17 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Some interesting points there, that I hadn't considered. However, I think the traditional way (although it could be improved in many ways) is probably the best option at the moment, if only for the simple reason that someone using the encyclopaedia who's looking up Brentford F.C. is going to be better served seeing that the link to Sam Sodje doesn't have an article, than by seeing a link to an article on Sam Sodje, but on clicking it finding themselves at WP:VAIN. There may be advantages in the running of Wikipedia for doing it your way, but it seems to me to be a disadvantage in the using of Wikipedia to do it that way. KeithD (talk) 16:58, 17 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
He's linked to? *blush* Ok, I'll stop it. --Phroziac (talk) 17:01, 17 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. You just sent me a message telling me to use "english" as this is the english wikipedia. What are you talking about exactly?

Leather carving

For creating the work and taking the photograph, you do have copyright on it yourself. The impact of using a pattern means that it may be a derivative work of the pattern, so that in theory Tandy may have some sort of claim to copyright as well. But the thing is, Tandy intended for you to create derivative works, because that's the whole point of providing a pattern. Under the circumstances, I don't think there's much they could prevent you from doing with it, and I'm fine with the situation as is. If push came to shove, we could raise a fair use defense, but I think the problem is more hypothetical than real. --Michael Snow 17:27, 19 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Sandbot script

Please send me an email regarding the script. I will need to know what wiki you plan to use it on. --AllyUnion (talk) 21:26, 19 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Maulana Ibne Hasan

Hi, I found a few probable refs in Google Cache under "Maulana Ibne Hasan". He may be notable in a field that just doesn't ovelap much with the Internet! Dlyons493 15:49, 21 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Article still seems to be there at "Maulana Ibne Hasan Nonaharvi". I'm guessing a bit - my Urdu is on the same level as my other Indian lanuages i.e. totally non-existent. But I think he probably is quite well known, just not in the West. Dlyons493 18:10, 21 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Your Wiki

We gotta find a way to get your wiki a bit more attention. It seems like only you and one other user are making any contributions. Acetic Acid 07:05, August 23, 2005 (UTC)

My sincerest apologies for the way I spoke to you on IRC

Dear Phroziac, I just wanted to say I'm sorry for the way I spoke to you on IRC just now; it is the early morning here in the UK (5:29 AM) and I tend to lose my temper entirely over tiny matters when I haven't slept due to my insomnia. I was really nasty to you, Phroziac, and I really regret having done so as I know you were merely trying to be helpful; I am truly sorry, and I shall endeavour to avoid it happening again. Best regards, NicholasTurnbull 04:28, 24 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

It's says in tutorial not to create vanity page, but??

But is a User page about your interests and pursuits relative to building areas in Wikipedia appropriate, like yours? Or does this come after contributing for a while? (off to read the links you sent me) Aasgaard Aasgaard 00:23, August 25, 2005 (UTC)

Star Wars

Since you had an opinion about the cast list, you might want to add your voice to another discussion about including the opening crawl in the article. User:Adamwankenobi insists on it, so it's come to a pseudo-vote discussion at Talk:Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. Coffee 03:40, 1 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Please make certain your bot is part of Category:Wikipedia bots. You may apply for your bot status now, if you have not done so. --AllyUnion (talk) 06:36, 2 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Toby.png

I really must object to your application of this tag:

This is a image with an unknown source. Any assumptions about the copyright status or license of this image is opinion or speculation. Use of this image in articles should be avoided if an alternative is available with more clear copyright status.

If you continue to maintain that you applied it in good faith, I shall -- with no little reluctance -- withdraw my complaint. But as matters stand, it merely appears to me to be a hostile act, totally out of keeping with the desired character of an admin.

I direct your attention -- and that of any other reader -- to Image talk:Toby.png. — Xiong熊talk* 04:56, 2005 September 3 (UTC)

Bureaucratship

Hi, Phroziac. Thank you so much for your support and kind words on my bureaucratship nomination. Unfortunately, it didn't pass, but I intend to run again soon. If you'd like to be informed next time around, please let me know on my talk page. Thanks again! Andre (talk) 05:21, September 4, 2005 (UTC)

Congratulations!

I'm pleased to inform you that you are now an administrator. Please consider reading all the material on the administrators' reading list before testing out your new privileges. Though everything you do, excluding image deletions and page history merges, is reversible, you should nevertheless be very careful with your sysop capabilities. For instructions, please see the administrators' how-to guide. Regards — Dan | Talk 18:28, 6 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations on being promoted to adminship! Cool beans! — JIP | Talk 19:35, 6 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Popups JS on wikicites

Hi, thanks for your email about this. I've made some changes to the dev version of my script, User:Lupin/popupsdev.js, which I believe makes it work with wikicities wikis (and maybe several other English language wikis). Please could you test it out and report any problems? You can install it by adding 

document.write('<script type="text/javascript" src="' 
             + 'http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Lupin/popupsdev.js' 
             + '&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript&dontcountme=s"></script>');

to your wikicities user JS files (one for each wiki, unfortunately). If it seems relatively bug-free then I'll migrate this to User:Lupin/popups.js. Lupin 19:42, 6 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Now that you're an admin, you may also be interested in the popupAdminLinks option for the script - see Wikipedia:Tools#Navigation_popups. Lupin 20:08, 6 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Templates

Don't forget to substitute templates with section headers (such as {{Welcome2}} and {{Idw}}) when you use them on talk pages: it reduces server load, and prevents accidental blanking of the template. --Phroziac (talk) 19:48, September 6, 2005 (UTC)

  • Thanks, I'll do that from now on. AdamRock 19:50, September 6, 2005 (UTC)
