Hi WW2Censor. I've read your informative pages and other links but what I can't find is a reasonable reason to delete the image I recently uploaded File:Car 697 1913 Princess Rd Depot.jpg.
...also I made several personal changes to it so it could even be argued as my copyright... absolutely no-one is going to be bothered if it is used on Wiki...in fact anyone who notices will be happy that it is there....I really cannot see what the problem with it is?
I fully appreciate (and agree) that Wikipedia needs to be thorough about copyright infringement but there is no-one alive to infringe here! And I can fully understand your thorough scrutiny of images and the serious issue copyright violation but I do wonder if perhaps you are being a little overly strict here!
Any thoughts? Suggestions about what I can do to clear the image?? best wishes, Mark -- Mapmark ( talk) 01:10, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

You've tagged one of my images for a speedy deletion. In your message on my talk page you said that it had no copyright information. In fact it had a copyright tag, source and a fair use rationale. Your message on my talk page was wrong. And you did not follow the correct process, please see WP:CSD F7: "Invalid fair-use claims tagged with subst:dfu may be deleted seven days after they are tagged, if a full and valid fair-use use rationale is not added."-- Anon 00:00, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
Unfortunately, my original version (which was one-ninth the size of the tagged version) was since superceded by what Darius uploaded. That being said, I am going to replace it with a scaled-down version just the same, given its fair-use rationale. -- JB Adder | Talk 07:17, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

Hello,
I read the notices that were posted to me and I know that this is the wrong place to be saying this, but I was not sure where to pose this question, because I have not been actively using wikipedia for very long and my knowledge of it is still rudimentary.
I apologise in advance for any inconvenience or irritation.
Having made an effort to edit and improve the article entitled " Adel Osseiran" (a deceased Lebanese politician and statesman), I was asked by wikipedia to provide a picture of that person. Accordingly, I did so, after conducting a google search which brought up a number of images of him. The picture I uploaded was captioned: Courtesy of Al Nahar Newspaper (a Beirut daily Newspaper), and I stated that when I uploaded it on wikipedia.
Yet, despite this precaution, I have been informed that the picture was labelled as lacking copyright permission. But the fact is that Al Nahar had this photo in its archive and allowed it to be published online, something that could not have happened without the consent of the periodical concerned. To prove this, the picture can be found on the website on the website of the American University of Beirut, which has published it with an interview with him Circa 1970. The link is as follows: http://ddc.aub.edu.lb/.../adel_osseiran/index.html
If you or the administrator concerned will take the trouble to check the link, you will find that the picture was published online with the consent of Al Nahar Newspaper, which had it in its archives. Therefore, it deserves to remain on wikipedia.

Hello WW2censor,
In ref. to my addition to the Wicklow Mountains page, please let me know what link would satiate the requirements for what i added? An article from the RTE website concerning 'intermittent' finds of human remains, or something to that effect? please let me know as i feel the topic is worthy of mentioning on (as far as i'm concerned) the definitive web page on the subject of the Wicklow Mountains. For non-Irish English-speaking readers browsing the subject i feel it my duty to inform about what would potentially be a darker side to our culture that had been hitherto unknown.
Or failing that request, would you yourself be able to find the relevant link and post it on the Wicklow Mountains page yourself in the manner expected of an editor. Succeeding where i had failed perhaps. After all, is it not the spreading of truth that Wikipedia is all about? And is the subject of occasional human remains being found in that area not a sad yet blatant truth in the times we are living in?
Thank you in advance 86.46.63.78 ( talk) 08:18, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
Point taken, I read that you are Irish. As am I. Were you not intrigued as to why there was not so much as a sentence regarding the infrequent yet important findings of human remains in the [[Wicklow Mountains] on said page? As a member of WikiProject Ireland, are you not (as is your mission statement) "dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to Ireland." The improvement of Ireland related topics isn't a pick-and-mix affair; either you add relevant information to every Ireland related topic or you don't. My point is, why haven't you yourself (as a Wikipedian of some standing) added a concise paragraph and relevant link to the Wicklow Mountains page (succeeding where i failed)? A response would be appreciated. Thank you. 86.46.63.78 ( talk) 16:28, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
Alright thanks, still seems to be spaghetti logic to me. something we all know is true yet can't be written on Wikipedia. very odd. i'll keep trying though. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.46.63.78 ( talk) 17:06, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
Hello Ww2censor,
I am new to wikipedia and needed help correcting my page. The information is definitely accurate and I have sources.

I see you talk about an irritant being that the U.K. had a different name before 1922. My impression was that it was called the U.K. both before and after 1922 (since the 1800 Act of Union), but that the meaning of U.K. changed. So, before 1922, U.K. meant the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, whereas afterwards, the word Northern was inserted to yield the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. But the initials U.K. remained the same. No? -- O'Dea ( talk) 02:18, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

ww2Censor - I’ve just completed drafting my first WP essay in my user space: Creating A Better List. As of yet it is not linked anywhere except through the {{Essay}} template. My ultimate objective is to move this essay to the project space, but at this point, that is premature without some feedback from fellow editors. As such I would appreciate your opinion on the essay, especially on two points. 1) Have I made any statements contradictory to WP policy or guidelines? 2) Are there additional examples that could be included to demonstrate my points more effectively?
Thanks in advance for your review and feel free to make any editorial changes you think would enhance the essay. Please provide comments here, as I am asking several editors to comment and would like to keep them all in the same place-- Mike Cline ( talk) 00:19, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

Hi Ww2censor, Thanks very much. That is exactly the image that I was looking for. It will serve as an excellent illustration of a period when Canada was using a pounds, shillings, and pence system. Interestingly however, those Canadian pounds were not at parity with the pound sterling. It's already explained in the Canadian pound article.
OK Thanks very much. Postage stamps and banknotes can often speak more than a thousand words in a history section. David Tombe ( talk) 04:28, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

Ww2censor, I have these two links here.
I'd like to have actual images, because these banknotes tell alot of history, and I want images to use in an article about the East Caribbean dollar. These images are snorters because they show the direct conversion from the Spanish Dollar unit of account to the circulating sterling coinage, and they also show the presence of a Canadian bank in the British West Indies. Do you know how I can legally get images of these notes? I know absolutely nothing about the copyright. David Tombe ( talk) 12:26, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
Ww2censor, thanks for that information. The problem is more about the copyright on the photograph of the banknote rather than on the banknote itself. And yes, it would probably be perfectly acceptable under 'fair use'. But the problem is that the 'fair use' clause is not cut and dried. The 'fair use' clause merely provides a defence that does not have to be accepted by the judge. Eventually, I'd like to get some of these educational banknotes prepared for inclusion in wikipedia articles. David Tombe ( talk) 05:41, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

Ok thanks for your reply. My bad. Ameroffsky Ameroffsky ( talk) 16:53, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
Hi, you marked my images as those for deleting. I dodn't know how to show you in more efficient way that I just took the images from our own database. I took the images myself and store them in my database, I allow myself to use them in amy context I want to. So please explain me how to ipload them properly or how to edit the copywirte section while they are uploaded. It took me 3 hours to upload them so I hate seeing them deleted.

Hello AGAIN. What is wrong with my references? I added "Lithuanian artist's association database, also from artist's official website" as a reference. What else can I do, so then you'll leave it alone? I can also add "General Lithuanian Encyclopedia". Would that be fair enough?

This is my own original picture and it greatly contributes to the Ashurbanipal article. Sometimes I wonder why bother if other editors delete my work that was done in good faith and hard work for improving an article. John Hyams ( talk) 18:04, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
Hello WW2censor,
In ref. to my addition to the Wicklow Mountains page, please let me know what link would satiate the requirements for what i added? An article from the RTE website concerning 'intermittent' finds of human remains, or something to that effect? please let me know as i feel the topic is worthy of mentioning on (as far as i'm concerned) the definitive web page on the subject of the Wicklow Mountains. For non-Irish English-speaking readers browsing the subject i feel it my duty to inform about what would potentially be a darker side to our culture that had been hitherto unknown.
Or failing that request, would you yourself be able to find the relevant link and post it on the Wicklow Mountains page yourself in the manner expected of an editor. Succeeding where i had failed perhaps. After all, is it not the spreading of truth that Wikipedia is all about? And is the subject of occasional human remains being found in that area not a sad yet blatant truth in the times we are living in?
Thank you in advance 86.46.63.78 ( talk) 08:18, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
Point taken, I read that you are Irish. As am I. Were you not intrigued as to why there was not so much as a sentence regarding the infrequent yet important findings of human remains in the [[Wicklow Mountains] on said page? As a member of WikiProject Ireland, are you not (as is your mission statement) "dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to Ireland." The improvement of Ireland related topics isn't a pick-and-mix affair; either you add relevant information to every Ireland related topic or you don't. My point is, why haven't you yourself (as a Wikipedian of some standing) added a concise paragraph and relevant link to the Wicklow Mountains page (succeeding where i failed)? A response would be appreciated. Thank you. 86.46.63.78 ( talk) 16:28, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
Alright thanks, still seems to be spaghetti logic to me. something we all know is true yet can't be written on Wikipedia. very odd. i'll keep trying though. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.46.63.78 ( talk) 17:06, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
Hello Ww2censor,
I am new to wikipedia and needed help correcting my page. The information is definitely accurate and I have sources. I received a deletion marker on my page. how can I work this out so my page will remain?? Your help is appreciated. Thank you. There are also pictures that I posted on a couple of pages. These pictures are my own property so I have absolute permission to post them ( Innertainment ( talk) 02:07, 11 February 2010 (UTC))

I see you talk about an irritant being that the U.K. had a different name before 1922. My impression was that it was called the U.K. both before and after 1922 (since the 1800 Act of Union), but that the meaning of U.K. changed. So, before 1922, U.K. meant the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, whereas afterwards, the word Northern was inserted to yield the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. But the initials U.K. remained the same. No? -- O'Dea ( talk) 02:18, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
File:Richo 1.jpg -- you thinking what I'm thinking? You CSD a previous image with the name "Richo" late last year. Is it the same one? — Aaroncrick ( talk) 10:05, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
Ww2censor - Thanks for your participation and support in my recent successful RfA. Your confidence and trust in me is much appreciated. As a new admin I will try hard to keep from wading in too deep over the tops of my waders, nor shall I let the Buffalo intimidate me.
PS: I really need to get back into a few Philately articles.-- Mike Cline ( talk) 09:42, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
Dear colleague, unfortunately I'm not that strong in american copyright law. We (russian,ukrainian wiki) have completely different routine. So it's really complicated for me to sort it out. Would You mind to help me in this situation, and rewrite its copyright status in proper way? Thank You very much. SerdechnyG ( talk) 14:10, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
Plz refer to these images of mine, I've added their licensing tags.
Hopefully it'll resolve the issue. — fahadeng ( talk)
ww2Censor - I’ve just completed drafting my first WP essay in my user space: Creating A Better List. As of yet it is not linked anywhere except through the {{Essay}} template. My ultimate objective is to move this essay to the project space, but at this point, that is premature without some feedback from fellow editors. As such I would appreciate your opinion on the essay, especially on two points. 1) Have I made any statements contradictory to WP policy or guidelines? 2) Are there additional examples that could be included to demonstrate my points more effectively?
Thanks in advance for your review and feel free to make any editorial changes you think would enhance the essay. Please provide comments here, as I am asking several editors to comment and would like to keep them all in the same place-- Mike Cline ( talk) 00:19, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

Hi ww2censor. My apologies. I inadvertently omitted to include the copyright information tag. Now done.
By the way, are you able to give feedback on the page it was uploaded for?... Unknown Sailor BTP51 ( talk) 09:46, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
This page is a new unreviewed article. This template should be removed once the page has been reviewed by someone other than its creator; if necessary the page should be appropriately tagged for cleanup. If you are the article's creator, you can seek feedback on your new article. (February 2010)

Ah right....that would be more compact. I'll try it. Thanks. :)

Hi, I uploaded the image on this page: File:Napw.jpg
Where exactly do I need to insert a rationale for uploading the image to Wiki? Should it be right after the {{ di-no fair use rationale}}?

Hi Ww2censor, Thanks very much. That is exactly the image that I was looking for. It will serve as an excellent illustration of a period when Canada was using a pounds, shillings, and pence system. Interestingly however, those Canadian pounds were not at parity with the pound sterling. It's already explained in the Canadian pound article.
OK Thanks very much. Postage stamps and banknotes can often speak more than a thousand words in a history section. David Tombe ( talk) 04:28, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
Any advice on how to handle the repeated vandalism of Stanley Gibbons? This is clearly someone at the company deleting any information they do not like and including links to their product catalogue. Thanks. Maidonian ( talk) 11:29, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
Knowing that you have interest and a good collection of postal history, could you direct me to any material that can build up this article even more? AshLin ( talk) 16:55, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
Ww2censor, I have these two links here.
I'd like to have actual images, because these banknotes tell alot of history, and I want images to use in an article about the East Caribbean dollar. These images are snorters because they show the direct conversion from the Spanish Dollar unit of account to the circulating sterling coinage, and they also show the presence of a Canadian bank in the British West Indies. Do you know how I can legally get images of these notes? I know absolutely nothing about the copyright. David Tombe ( talk) 12:26, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
Ww2censor, thanks for that information. The problem is more about the copyright on the photograph of the banknote rather than on the banknote itself. And yes, it would probably be perfectly acceptable under 'fair use'. But the problem is that the 'fair use' clause is not cut and dried. The 'fair use' clause merely provides a defence that does not have to be accepted by the judge. Eventually, I'd like to get some of these educational banknotes prepared for inclusion in wikipedia articles. David Tombe ( talk) 05:41, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
These images were from my friend he said he got them from his website that he owns with other people i didn't know if it was copyrighted i'll ask him thanks... Wikipedian7878 ( talk) 05:45, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
Thank you for you're information i will try to do my best...
FYI... I was saving the user page for my user info. I'm not stupid or anything i just think it would probably be better on the talk page.
