Please tell me about your browser

Recently you transferred an image, and part of the text transferred as gobbledygook.[1] This wasn't your fault, but rather some sort of bug with the interface; I've seen it happen to many other users too. So that I can file a bug report, can you please do me a favor and tell me:

• Which browser are you using? Also, do you know which language you have set as your browser default? (e.g., English, Spanish).
• Which operating system are you using? If different, what is your operating system language? (e.g., English, Spanish).
• Did you use a different language as the default at the bot transfer source?[2]

Thanks for your time. Magog the Ogre (talk) 13:04, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

Interesting and weird, never seen that before. I will try to answer your questions. Jack Bornholm (talk) 07:57, 16 May 2012 (UTC)

Plurality of Delegates Image

Regarding the map of the 2012 GOP primaries by plurality of delegates. I believe Ron Paul took Louisiana, Iowa and Nevada. Sources can be found on the talk page for that image. Fancyflyboy (talk) 16:50, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

Nevada is still bound to Romney, that means Paul supportes have to vote for him. Louisana and Iowa will not elect anyone for some time. Jack Bornholm (talk) 21:04, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

Sorry to have wronged you in any way. These pictures was acquired from the official website of the Bank of Ghana. As far as I understand you are not the Bank of Ghana? Maybe you should check their official homepage? Anyway you can simply erase them from the Wiki as far as I understand, then they will no more violated your copyright. They where taken from Public Domain in good faith, but feel free to make any changes you like since You are saying this is not the case. The best of luck with it all. 41.204.44.159 06:52, 12 February 2017 (UTC)

@Tomaud: The depicted works (banknotes) were created by the Bank of Ghana, and are in the public domain under Ghanaian law. The mere 'faithful reproduction' of a two-dimensional work of art, by scanning it, does not involve human originality and thus creates no new copyright claim. See en:Bridgeman Art Library v. Corel Corp. - Revent^talk 07:06, 12 February 2017 (UTC)

Photographing a building, a person, an old car, a painting, even a piece of currency or a coin creates a photographic piece of art, which becomes intellectual property of the photographer. The bank does not print, printing house prinbts paper money. Bank is only distributor of the money. Banks do not distribute, issue or release photographs of paper money. Photographs, artists do. You don't have to own the object to create a photograph which you become author of. Some of my photos were marked with copyright, yet the copyright notice was removed intentionally to hide the fact they were stolen intellectual property. Texts were stolen along with the images. I am well aware of the following page: https://www.bog.gov.gh/banking/currency/banknotes-of-ghana

Here are the texts taken from my website (along with my photos):

GH-1 10 Shillings 1.7.1963 (Bank of Ghana ) GH-2 1 Pound 1.7.1962 (Bank, cocoa pods) GH-3 5 Pounds 1.7.1962 (Bank, cargo ships, logs) GH-4 1000 Pounds 1.7.1958 (Bank of Ghana building) GH-5 1 Cedi ND(1965) (Kwame Nkrumah, Bank Ghana) GH-6 5 Cedis ND(1965) (Nkrumah, Parliament House) GH-7 10 Cedis ND(1965) (Independence Square) GH-8 50 Cedis ND(1965) (Nkrumah, seashore, palms) GH-9 100 Cedis ND(1965) (Kwame Nkrumah, Hospital) GH-11 5 Cedis 8.1.1969 (fauna carvings) GH-12 10 Cedis 8.1.1969 (art products, statuettes) GH-13 1 Cedi 2.1.1976 (sling shotter, cacao cutter) GH-14 2 Cedis 2.1.1977 (bell, man with hoe, workers) GH-15 5 Cedis 4.7.1977 (woman with large hat, huts) GH-16 10 Cedis 2.1.1978 (pipe smoker, dam) GH-18 2 Cedis 6.3.1982 (school girl, field workers) GH-19 5 Cedis 6.3.1982 (statuette, log cutting) GH-20 10 Cedis 2.7.1980 (young woman, fishermen) GH-21 20 Cedis 6.3.1982 (miner, weaving) GH-22 50 Cedis 7.2.1979 (carving, cacao workers) GH-25 50 Cedis 15.7.1986 (boy, drying grain) GH-26 100 Cedis 19.7.1990 (woman, truck loading) GH-27 200 Cedis 15.7.1986 (children in classroom) GH-28 500 Cedis 10.6.1994 (cacao trees, miner) GH-30 2000 Cedis 6.1.1995 (bridge, fishermen) GH-32 1000 Cedis 5.12.1996 (jewels, cacao harvesting) GH-33 2000 Cedis 2.5.1998 (suspension bridge, fishermen) GH-34 5000 Cedis 2.5.1998 (map, harbour, ships) GH-35 10000 Cedis 2.9.2002 (people; freedom arch) GH-36 20000 Cedis 2.9.2002 (Ephraim Amu; building) GH-37 1 Ghana Cedi 1.7.2007 (Big Six, hydroelectric dam) GH-38 2 Ghana Cedis 14.5.2010 (Kwame Nkrumah, Parliament House) GH-39 5 Ghana Cedis 1.7.2007 (Big Six, University of Ghana statue) GH-40 10 Ghana Cedis 1.7.2007 (Big Six, Bank of Ghana) GH-41 20 Ghana Cedis 1.7.2007 (Big Six, Supreme Court) GH-42 50 Ghana Cedis 1.7.2007 (Big Six, Osu Castle)

These are not current money. They are not in circulation, thus they are historical collectibles out of which I made photos of to display in my online museum as works of art. They are my intellectual property and have copyright notices on every page for a purpose. Texts are also my intellectual property.

These are not public domain since I personally photographed them. We are talking about photography and not about the physical paper money, which by the way I have paid for. It was my paper money, I purchased them and I owned them, and still own some of them as part of my collection. Plus I made photos out of them, which became intellectual property as part of my website along with texts and design. I would have donated if it wasn't plain theft and copyright notice coverup. Check out ARCHIVE.ORG who owned the images first and if anyone owns the physical notes with these exact serial numbers then submit as proof of ownership. Even if someone owns some of these the photos are still my property as I photographed them. I thought you live in a civilised society where theft is illegal. Read my entire post with attention. The banknotes were scanned in the way it creates a piece of photographic art even if you may think it is ugly. They are not just scans, they are photographs and are put together with more than just simple act of scanning. The solution is simple: provide credits, reference to author website or remove. I will not remove the images from Wikipedia/Wikimedia, since I do not want to be labeled as participating in online vandalism, even that these images are my intel. property. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tomaud (talk • contribs) 07:39, 12 February 2017 (UTC)

I am unable to list Banknotes.com as an Author since I am getting the following statement:

"The text you wanted to save was blocked by the spam filter. This is probably caused by a link to a blacklisted external site. The following text is what triggered our spam filter: banknotes.com."

I may have had one post in the past where I used my website's URL link to post educational material on Wikipedia to one of my pages for people to visit and that perhaps triggered spam block (yet I notice so many commercial spam on Wikipedia linkage and so many dead ships broken websites and when I try to edit them out, to not waste people's time visiting dead ships, I am not allowed to do that?), but this event was a decade ago I suppose and should have had my domain unblocked by now. Perhaps it was a mild mistake on my part? Who does not make mistakes once in their lifetime? This image theft was not a mistake? Apologised, forgiven, now let's fix the damage done. OK? I also have hundreds of links from my website linking to Wikipedia. My website has a lot of useful information about world currencies that may not be available elsewhere and keep on blocking it as a spammer is more than funny. I never spam anyone and I hate spam myself. Do unblock it so I can update those images with true Author information, the one who photographed and the one who will donate these images finally to be used by the public.

The true source of all these Ghana photographs is: http://www.banknoXXX.com/gh.htm (replace the "XXX" in the domain/URL with "tes"). Check it out on Archive.org and compare it to: https://www.bog.gov.gh/banking/currency/banknotes-of-ghana Then you will see who the Author and the real source is of these images and texts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tomaud (talk • contribs) 08:38, 12 February 2017 (UTC)

My reaction to all this was because I have noticed my works were stolen, without providing me with any credits, not even thanks, and then my website is blocked as a spam and my photographs are used and credited to those who never put a finger to make these photographs, plus those who covered up my copyright notices on my photographic works of art. How would you feel? Please unblock my website domain from "spam block". Tomaud (talk) 08:53, 12 February 2017 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tomaud (talk • contribs) 08:20, 12 February 2017 (UTC)

@Tomaud: Your website is not blacklisted on Commons, it is on the 'global' blacklist at meta.wikimedia.org, and a request to be removed would need to be made at meta:Talk:Spam_blacklist#Proposed_removals.

I am not contesting that you photographed the images, I'm just telling you that they are not, legally, copyrightable.... they are direct reproductions of material that is in the public domain, and do not embody copyrightable originality. This really isn't the right page to talk about it on (I only happened to notice your edits because they were in 'recent changes', and the owner of this talk page rarely edits). You can bring this up at COM:VPC, a community noticeboard, if you don't believe me, but I think you'll get the same response there. - Revent^talk 08:54, 12 February 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for explaining Tomaud (talk) 18:24, 12 February 2017 (UTC)

Someone at Wikimedia is silently and anonymously altering ("restoring") the record line for "Author" which I corrected to reflect the true author of these images. Please refrain from such nasty behaviour. Cease & desist. Tomaud (talk) 19:12, 14 February 2017 (UTC)

@Tomaud: I think you should writes these things somewhere else than my talkpage. No one comes here and no one will read it. Maybe you should go to that noticeboard Garamond speaks about Jack Bornholm (talk) 12:51, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
