Image Tagging Image:Close_up_of_71_Times_article_ref_to_TBR.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Close_up_of_71_Times_article_ref_to_TBR.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikimedia Commons (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page. If the content is a derivative of a copyrighted work, you need to supply the names and a licence of the original authors as well.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag, then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multilicense GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find all your uploads using the Gallery tool. Thank you. -Nard 02:47, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Deletions

I've posted a reply on my talkpage to the note you left. You weren't logged in when you posted your note and apparently didn't see the above notices, but I'm leaving this in case you see this before the note on my page! ... man, I hope that makes sense. o.o;; ~Kylu (u|t) 01:12, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks !

Hi Kylu,

I'm just getting my feet wet here on wikieverything and it's great fun. Everyone has been really very helpful. I'm trying to save as much of Ben Wechsler's archives as I can before he passes away and he really enjoys seeing an objective account on the internet of some of the "things" he's been involved with in his life (I got an 89 year old contributing to Wikipedia, yea!). I'll do my best to figure out how to handle the Sharon Letter with Ben this weekend when I visit with him. One of the most important projects he worked on in his life was a radio show called America Sings that he produced in 1960 for westinghouse and featured artists that were part of the Mcarthy Blacklist. The program was one of several that finally killed the black list once and for all. Ben thinks it would be a wonderful audio addition to Wikimedia and wants to deal with the copyright issues to upload it and tell the story. I am overwhelmed with the one of a kind recordings he has in all different mediums of image and audio... how the heck do I upload a kinescope and deal with the 1950's copyright issues?!? Ugh.

Again, it is all great fun and thank you again for your help.

On another topic: my sister www.kathrynbertine.com has done some great stuff. Is there anyway that I can be involved with putting her on wikipedia ?

Pete --Petebertine 07:02, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Glad you're getting the hang of things here! The best thing I think you could do, perhaps, would be to check out en:GFDL and en:Wikipedia:Text of the GNU Free Documentation License, see if you could explain that to him, then see if he'll agree to give you a blanket license to cover all the materials. Once you're got that, give me a yell and I can explain how to send the permission to the Foundation, where I'll file it and give you an "OTRS reference number" so that you can reference the permission when you upload things that are under his copyright.

As far as the kinescope issues go, I'm not totally sure how to convert that to digital format (got a RadioShack handy?) but, as long as you have permission from the copyright holder, you'd send it in the same way you would for Mr. Wechsler's contributions. Note, however, that just because a company went defunct perhaps, doesn't mean that the recordings aren't copyrighted. You'll still have to find who inherited the rights to them and get permission. Happily, if you explain you want to upload them using the GFDL to Wikipedia, they'll typically have no problems letting you.

If your sister wishes to contribute, please feel free to either encourage her to make an account and start contributing or alternatively (again) have her give you a license that we can receive so we can host her works.

If you run into any problems, let me know and I'll be happy to assist! ~Kylu (u|t) 01:57, 26 January 2008 (UTC) (copied from my talk page)

An often mentioned fault? (in myself?)

Hey,

There is no way that I am the first to bring this up because I am a moron.

When I clicked through to here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:ParadigmShiftsFrr15Events.jpg I wound up on wikimedia commons; however, there is text from wikipedia and all the internal links are dead. I tried to edit the page so that the first link Paradigm Shifts had a web link to the wikipedia page for paradigm shifts, but it's not sticking.

I'm now annoyed, which means that I have hit the upper level of my abilities and will soon get all pouty.

Why do the links go dead? Do you think this should be fixed? Can I help? Why do I now feel really stupid for doing what I though was really clever by editing in a web link only to have the whole damn thing ignore me like all the hot chicks in high school?

Thanks.

Thanks for asking, even if I'm not totally sure I follow completely. Hopefully this answers your question: If you want to link (on commons) to a page on English Wikipedia, use a link like this: [[:en:Paradigm Shifts]] ... the :en part makes it a regular link (instead of showing up in the "in other languages" box under the toolbox). If you'd like to make the text link there and say something else (I prefer "clean" inter-project links, myself) use [[:en:Wikipedia page|alternate text]]. I've done some cleaning on the page in question, should look better now, though I've left :en links plain, that way the commons-user can tell that it's a link to Wikipedia and not a Commons gallery page. Also, it's best to avoid editing image pages on projects where the image is on commons: it'll just confuse people. And yes, Wiki editing has its esoteric parts. :) I hope that helps! ~Kylu (u|t) 05:41, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
