To me, Left Coast is a term used by Republicans to attack any person who is a liberal and who lives on the West Coast. Its not an Encyclopedic term (But maybe a Dictionary Term) its a hate word. please contact me on this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Magnum Serpentine ( talk • contribs)

19:41, 22 September 2006 (UTC)I have a question, what tag can i put in a photo of the National Geographic Magazine, of August, 1976.
Caracas 2000 17:30, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
Bkell, the image is rightly taken by me, and it is my university's picture. It was taken in connection with the development of the university's website, and this image is listed there, so I gave the source.
The Licensing area is a little bit confusing. Guide me on if I err.

Howdy again, I have another question about IfD tagging. CSD I9 specifies that images which have been superseded by a well-licensed commons image, are orphaned, and have been tagged with {{ NC}}/{{ NCT}} for at least a week are elegible for speedy deletion. My question is: is there a template of some sort that will let an admin know that all the I9 qualifications are met, and the image can be speedied, kinda like {{ isd}}? Would I just use {{ db-reason}}? And as a follow-up question, do other people do that, or would that even be a good idea? As it stands now, old NC/NCT images don't seem to get cleaned up very often; I'm sure it's just a question of the admins not having time and/or desire (heh) to grind through all those image pages. Thanks. — Wwagner 23:34, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

- Bkell,
This is Burnwelk....you have tagged three of my images under "possibly unfree images". I admit that they are screen shots taken from TV but I don't want them deleted. My question is how I go about providing explanatory info for the images in question...I cannot find where to go to fix such a problem.
- Burnwelk
I had no ideal about my images they had said free use so I thought they were ok.

Brian. It was me that created the Betelgeuse incident article and secured its promotion to Good Article status. I will be most grateful if you refrain from removing material from the article without some prior engagement on the article's discussion page. best wishes Bob BScar23625 07:28, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
Brian. Thanks for your latest posting on the article's Discussion page. I have transposed our full exchange onto the Image Discussion page and will add the relevant Fair Use rationale to the Image in the next few hours. Perhaps this all serves to illustrate that it is not wise to involve oneself casually in an article one has no interest in?. regards. Bob BScar23625 07:04, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi Bkell,
I notice that you've disputed the copyright of the images I uploaded to Wikipedia. While I agree that I am not the creator of the works, they are (likely) out of copyright postcard images that I scanned from the original postcards I have in my posession. Could you advise me on what you believe would be the best course of action regarding releasing these images on Wikipedia?
Cheers, nathan
Hi Bkell,
Ive noticed that you removed some images from my sandbox, as you say tey are copyrighted. But a majority of the images i scanned from my own books and put them on wikipedia. Also i thought that you are allowed book covers, but please correct me if im wrong.
Cheerz, Lee
I would agree with you that the two logos are purely decorative and do not add significantly to the article. The Wikilinks in the article will take the reader to the proper "Gulf" or "Total", so there is no confusion. Copyrighted images Image:Whiddy.JPG and Image:Betelguese.jpg fail WP:FUC #1 as the map and the image of the memorial could both be created as GFDL (I am assuming the memorial still exists). Those images are also poorly sourced (what does "tourist board leaflet" mean and who is the copyright holder?) and do not have a fair use rationale for use in the article. The only legitimate fair use image is Image:Betelgeuse1.JPG, but it has no fair use rationale for use in the article either, so there is a problem with that image also. -Regards Nv8200p talk 18:36, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
I read now your contribution on Template talk:Promotional, about what is not covered by that license. As I witness a lot of images uploaded with this template that do not fall under the license terms, I think it is urgent to add a text clearly excluding those images. Can you do something?-- BaldClarke 01:06, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Jeremy Browne.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 there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{ GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{ Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. 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 any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — Bkell ( talk) 22:36, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
I was going to use the SalvadorDali and Gala image in uncyclopedia. Is this only for wikipedia? Sorry.

Hello Bkell,
I believe it was July that you edited my page on the Steel Square. Thanks for the compliments. The imges in question were deleted by the censor police. It is a little bit frustrating drawing all the images and having them deleted. I did one with a Steel Square on a lacewood background that illustrated the Octagon Scale on the Steel Square. I did notate that the square was made by Empire Tools. Why would they object to free advertisement on Wikipedia? I am a little confused on the ground rules and how to contest a random conclusion. I agree that the images are important to the discussion. I did take a photo on my computer table. Is that a problem? I read over the changes that you did and it enhansed the article. I need a little help on the image alignment.
Johnalden, Steel Square
Hello again Bkell,
I just uploaded a Jpeg to insert in The Steel Square article. I have been unable to insert Image:Hip Rafter Side and Level Cut.jpg after numerous tries. Do you have any advise? also I read all your edits and they are fine. If there is anything that is unclear tell me so I can edit it. The image alighnment is difficult for me being a novice at this.
thanks Johnalden
[[Image:Hip Rafter Side and Level Cut.jpg|thumb|This is the caption.]]
Bkell,
Thanks for the info. I tried to insert the image
in different places and was unsuccessfull.
There is a redundent image in a pdf file. I cannot delete it. Is this causing a conflict?
Johnalden , Steel Square thanks
Bkell,
If you look in the Steel Square you will notice that I inserted and saved
The problem that I am having is that once I insert the edit ,
I can not preview it. It does not show the thumbnail. I inserted all the other images with no problems plus on your page. I can not figure out what I am doing wrong. Jack 02:06, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the information. Is this code specific to Wikipedia. Where can I find more info on the code so I that can study it.

Does she notate anything in the upload section?
Hello Bkell, I just went to your user page and checked out your Help:Table. That is an awesome job you did there. It demystifies a lot of Wiki code and has answered a lot of my questions. I only regret that I did not find it sooner. -- Jack 11:19, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi. I'm posting this on your talk page because I have noticed that you are often active in one or more aspects of our image use and/or image deletion processes.
I would like to propose Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline as a guideline to detail the necessary components of a "non-free image use", or "fair use", rationale. At present, it's kindof a moving target. Some image description pages have a detailed, bulleted rationale, while others have a one sentence "this picture identifies the subject". Patroling Category:All images with no fair use rationale, I've seen image pages that explicitly have something of a rationale that have been nominated for a speedy.
This is not an attempt to change or influence the image use policy in any way - and I would like to steer it away from becoming a rehash of the arguments over recent changes to the fair use policy. The only purpose of this guideline is to assist users who upload fair use images in correctly and adequately documenting what they feel to be the rationale for using the images.
So I would like for us to formalize what is required. I have also created Template:Fair use rationale and I would like to propose that we use it or something similar as a template to assist users in creating an acceptable rationale. I have no particular attachment to the proposal as it stands now - I have created it only as a starting point. Please see Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline and the associated talk page to give your thoughts and ideas. Thank you. BigDT 19:56, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
About the picture http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_talk:Central_logo.jpg. I tried to revert it to the original logo posted by Danmiles, but all it did was resize the logo that is there now - the one that looks like the arizona cardinals. So I uploaded the proper Queensland Rugby League Central Division logo: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Central_Qld_Capras.jpg. Hence why the central_logo.jpg image nolonger links anywhere.
