Hi there! Woody suggested to come to you, and so I do, on bended knee and hat in hand. I'm taking Tetrarch (tank) through FAC at the moment, and apparently there are prose issues preventing it from being passed. Woody says he isn't that good at prose, but suggested you are. Is there any way you could give Tetrarch (tank) a copy-edit in the next few days? I'd be extremely greatful. Thanks for any help, Skinny87 ( talk) 14:22, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

Hi! Someone has messed up with the lead section of Chola dynasty article which you had protected.Please do have a look. Thanks- Ravichandar My coffee shop 05:02, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
Hi YellowMonkey, I was having a browze through through the above article you nominated for GA, and was woundering if the Australian War Memorial online collections database had any photos of Miller during the Second World War. Sure enough, I found a few after a bit of a search and thought that you might be interested. The ID numbers are:
Well, I hope you find this interesting and/or perhaps helpful. Cheers, Abraham, B.S. ( talk) 11:11, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
I am not entirely certain on this, but here's my two cents all the same:
Under international treaty, Australia acknowledges and protects copyrighted materials produced by other countries, so if a work created in the U.K. is under copyright there, then it is under copyright here too.
It is hard to think of a way in which these might have fallen into the public domain. Merely acquiring the physical photograph does not imply that one has acquired the copyright, else I could claim copyright over every book on my bookshelf, by virtue of having purchased a physical copy. Even if the AWM has acquired the copyright (which we have no right to presume without solid evidence), that doesn't reset the clock on expiration, or we could transfer our copyrights to our children and keep copyright intact forever. I figure the only way these could be in the public domain is if the copyright holder has expicitly released them into the public domain.
Finally, remember that what we are really interested in is whether or not these photos are in the public domain in the U.S., where the Wikimedia servers are located. From the U.S. perspective, the country of origin would the U.K., irrespective of who now owns the original.
Hesperian 06:00, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
Of course, if the AWM didn't hold copyright on the photographs, I have reason to believe the British Government would, in which case the photos would come under critera A of PD UK Government which states: "It is a photograph created by the United Kingdom Government and taken prior to 1 June 1957". Cheers, Abraham, B.S. ( talk) 10:45, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
Hi Bainer. I think you're legal expertise may help here. Do you know if pictures stored at the Australian War Memorial or its website are automatically owned by the AWM and PD under criterion E of PD-Australia. I didn't think that this was the case, but User:Abraham, B.S. thinks that I should be able to use them on Military career of Keith Miller - discussion here User_talk:YellowMonkey#Military_career_of_Keith_Miller_photographs. These photos include photos taken in the UK, in the 1940s, where a 70 years after death rule applies, but he is suggesting that an AWM stored photo falls under PD-Aus even though all of these photos were taken in the UK. YellowMonkey ( bananabucket) 05:15, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
A great result for a number of Australian articles, and not just military history. I think Nick-D is right about not using {{ PD-Australia}} given that it starts "This image was created in Australia ...". Perhaps a PD-AWM template is needed? -- Mattinbgn\ talk 07:45, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
If I can just add one more issue into the mix: remember that what is really important here is whether these are in the public domain in the US, where the Wikimedia servers are. So how the US treats foreign works comes into play: works that were in the public domain in their home country prior to 1 January 1996 are in the public domain in the US, but works that were still under copyright in their home country on 1 January 1996 are treated as if they were US works, and receive the same duration of copyright as US works. So a photo taken in Australia in 1947 is in the public domain in Australia but remains under copyright in the US. Go figure. Hesperian 22:55, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
Hi BL, I'm not an expert on copyright law, but my understanding is that "photos created in Australia" can include pics taken overseas by an Australian photographer for use primarily in Australia. Cheers, Grant | Talk 22:43, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
I read your blog post on the subject; very well argued. As I said earlier, surely his publishers have editors; don't they give the manuscript to anyone with some knowledge of the subject? I don't think cricket books need formal referees per academic publishers but some basic fact-checking must be in order. The factual errors are one thing, the creating of whole lines of speculation on little or no evidence is worse.
Re: Hassett, as you can probably tell my attention has been elsewhere at present. I brought myself a new camera a few months ago and it has occupied much of my wiki time at the moment. I am feeling keen to get going again and will shortly. All the best for the new year! Cheers, Mattinbgn\ talk 09:02, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
Re: this edit. I added the note because being a BLP, I thought it only fair to make the same disclosure than Haigh made himself in the essay I pulled the quote from. Without a doubt, any reasonably knowledgeable cricket scholar would come to the same conclusion but given that reviews this one ("Perry's work, much like Bradman himself, is head and shoulders above the competition") exist I thought it prudent to be fair. However, happy to be guided by your opinion on this topic. Cheers, Mattinbgn\ talk 06:55, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
