A while back, I started looking at the gum cards to try to grab some photos of 1950s-1960s singers and vocal groups. The main gum companies in the US back then were Topps, Fleer and Bowman. All of them produced sports cards and both Topps and Fleer did music ones too.
When I went to copyright.gov for renewal info on the ones that had a copyright mark, I found nothing for renewals on the pre-1964 cards from any of these companies. The only thing you have to watch is if you start dealing with the Topps non-sports cards for television shows. McHale's Navy comes to mind because they did some cards with photos from the show. There's two copyright notices on the McHale cards--one for Topps, which was not renewed, and one for the TV production company, which was. You can go up to and include 1963 cards re: years. Sounds like there's gonna be a lot of new hockey player pics around here! :) We hope ( talk) 04:20, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
The other two are copies (second generation photos) from a fan's scrapbook. We don't know who took them or whether they were ever published or seen outside of the scrapbook until they came onto eBay. Sorry, but because of that, we can't say they're PD. We hope ( talk) 20:44, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
Card type | USA PD date, text | USA PD date, image | Canadian PD date | Comment |
---|---|---|---|---|
File:Clyde McPhatter 1960.JPG | 1960 | 1989 | 2011 | Assumes anonymous authorship for Canadian PD year. USA is different for text and image due to different notice requirements for text and images. Assumes that USA copyright wasn't renewed. |
File:1939 Bowman Play Ball cards 1.JPG | 1939 | 1939 | 1990 | If any photos were taken before 1939, then the Canadian PD year for those photos is earlier. |
Canadian card from 1940, no notice and no renewal | 1940 | 1940 | 1991 | Assumes photo taken in 1940, otherwise the Canadian PD year for image is earlier. Also assumes that the text author is anonymous. |
Canadian card from 1940, with notice but without renewal | 1969 | 1969 | 1991 | Assumes photo taken in 1940, otherwise the Canadian PD year for image is earlier. Also assumes that the text author is anonymous. |
Canadian card from 1940, with notice and renewal | 2036 | 2036 | 1991 | Assumes photo taken in 1940, otherwise the Canadian PD year for image is earlier. Also assumes that the text author is anonymous. |
Canadian card from 1950, no notice and no renewal, distributed in both USA and Canada | 1950 | 1950 | 2001 | Assumes anonymous authorship & photograph taken after 1948 & not previously published. |
Canadian card from 1950, with notice but without renewal, distributed in both USA and Canada | 1979 | 1979 | 2001 | Assumes anonymous authorship & photograph taken after 1948 & not previously published. |
Canadian card from 1950, with notice and renewal, distributed in both USA and Canada | 2046 | 2046 | 2001 | Assumes anonymous authorship & photograph taken after 1948 & not previously published. |
Canadian card from 1950, with or without notice and renewal, distributed in Canada only | 2046 | 2046 | 2001 | Assumes anonymous authorship & photograph taken after 1948 & not previously published. |
A renewal for a Canadian card means that the Canadian copyright holder submitted a renewal to the United States Copyright Office, and the renewal only affects the copyright status within the United States. It can probably be assumed that no Canadian cards were renewed, but the URAA problem makes lots of Canadian post-1945 cards copyrighted in the United States. Wikipedia only cares about USA's PD rules, so a card which is in the public domain in the United States but copyrighted in Canada counts as "free", whereas a card which is in the public domain in Canada but copyrighted in the United States counts as "unfree". This makes it harder for Canadians to use articles which contain card images. -- Stefan2 ( talk) 12:14, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
I think you've found a winner here. :) Just did a little research and found out these cards were printed on Chex cereal boxes from 1963-1965. They don't have a mark on either side, so they should be fine as US-PD-no notice. Have seen cartoon character cutouts printed on various cereal boxes from the 1930s on and in their cases, the fronts were always marked--especially in the case of Disney characters. ;)
What I'd do is archive the message board link that talks about them being from Chex during those years (because they have no marking to show that's where they came from), and each of the eBay auction links that says this is one of the Chex cereal box cards. Would include info and links on the file description page when you upload. Wayback Machine now has an easy archive at Save Page Now, but you have to bookmark your links; this one doesn't send email notice as WebCite does/did.
While I was looking the other day, I did see some Coke "giveaway" cards. They're not marked or dated in any way. What I didn't find out is whether they were only Canadian or if they were also distributed in the US. They're from the 1960's-1970s and would be in the PD-US-no notice range if one could find out if they were ever given out in the US. I didn't take them because of that. Will go over Stefan2's info and table later, but wanted to let you know there's a good reason to like Chex. :-) We hope ( talk) 14:35, 1 February 2014 (UTC)
OK, let's start with Emile Francis photos:
Henri Richard:
I'd bookmark these but hold off on them until one of us is sure we understand the information Stefan2 provided. I don't believe York Peanut Butter is/was sold in the US, so these were probably Canada only. Would do the same with the two George Armstrong ones for the same reason.
Hope this helps somewhat! We hope ( talk) 02:40, 4 February 2014 (UTC)

Feel free to nominate the article at DYK. Looks like it qualifies for February 2 in that regard. Not sure of your history at DYK, but I'll definitely have to do a quid pro quo review. I'd still like to create a playing style section that will summarize his play and his legacy (HHOF, number honoured, etc) as well as check out a couple books from my local library for extra personal life and to fill in some time gaps on his career before considering a GA run.

Sorry for the slow reply. Have been trying to get more photos on Commons, deal with some RL things that wouldn't wait and am now having issues with Firefox since the version 27 update. Every time I try to save a photo, it crashes. :( My Win 7 is up to date with everything including A/V. No issues with it unless you want to do something with a photo. Managed to think a bit more about the George Armstrong photos and believe you're right about who issued them. With that in mind, it would make sense that either NHL or the team distributed the photos to all relevant media outlets in North America at the same time, so they should be OK as US-pre-1978, no notice. Didn't forget about Stefan2's table-have bookmarked it and will go over it ASAP. We hope ( talk) 15:29, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
Hello, I noticed that you moved the references for her death from the intro to the body of the article. I don't object to this ~ in fact I prefer it ~ but I am wondering if you can point me to anywhere where this is indicated as preferred. While I understand that information in the introduction is not normally referenced, some editors understandably seem to take the view that with recent deaths this fact should be referenced in the intro. Your thoughts on this will be appreciated. Cheers, Afterwriting ( talk) 16:29, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
I have serious doubts about the reliability of the source you've provided. (Any author who thinks "Dutch" refers to the people of Denmark isn't very credible.) I have been scouring all Danish sources and they all just say "his family informed that he died peacefully in his sleep", no location mentioned. The AP article that all the English sources are based on all say "A daughter, Karin Moerch, announced the death but did not say where he died or give the cause of death." Or else some reduced version of that sentence. So I don't think it is public knowledge where he died. I'm guessing the author of the article you reference thinks Denmark = Copenhagen (and is populated by Dutch people). RenniePet ( talk) 03:09, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

Lose the attitude. You've blocked one innocent GF newbie for this already. I do not appreciate your sarcastic tone one bit. "so look for refs?" might carry a bit more weight if you weren't adding that to an article where I'd already just added those missing sources to it. Of course there are sources – it's a slack news day. They still don't add up to a story that's more than a local footnote and is nowhere near world-encyclopedic, hence the prod.

It's probably a good thing you write about politics rather than participate in it. What a time sink... Anyway, my thoughts on Cleghorn:

So you blocked User:Moatassemakmal in the middle of my discussion with him. There was really no need to do that - I wasn't going to let him get away with anything, but sometimes when one has the time and inclination it's interesting and useful to see what information one can glean from such people. — SMALL JIM 16:10, 5 March 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I finally got around to looking at Jim Gregory (ice hockey) I gave it a little copy editing, but I really couldn't find more information, not a surprise I don't really have access to older print media or hockey related books. Feel free to revert any of my changes I'm not the best with prose. I think it might be beneficial to explain the line "and developing a relationship with his favourite player, Ted Kennedy." the entire sentence probably needs to be broken up so if you could explain that line more in depth as its own sentence it might work better.

I found your name on the Military History project page. Trying to clarify whether Chuck Yeager ever got promoted to Maj Gen (ret) in 2005 or at any other time. There are a number of news reports that describe him in passing as a retired Major General, but they could have gotten that info from old versions of Wikipedia. I've found where Congress authorized the president to promote him to Maj Gen (Ronald W. Reagan National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2005, 108th Congress [3]), but I don't know whether the president/military command ever actually made the promotion. I'm assuming that if he had, there would be a press release or statement from the president's office somewhere. Dezastru ( talk) 21:33, 11 March 2014 (UTC)

Please stop removing the incomplete birth name. I am well aware that "usually" the full name is included. In this case - and in many other cases - we do not know it. It is still more helpful to readers to include the almost full name in the infobox, rather than to exclude it, and I am not aware of any consensus at Template talk:Infobox person that that should not be done - though I am aware of your personal opinion, which differs from mine.

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:ConcordiaUTexas.svg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

Just so you know, my revert at the Kenan Thompson article was related to the edit summary given by the IP editor ("redundant"). The IPs reasoning was to remove the name because it was redundant to have the name in the body the infobox as it was at the title/top of the infobox - that indicated to me there is a lack of understanding regarding infoboxes. I reverted only because having the name in the infobox twice (title and body) is SOP, hence, my edit summary comment. So, yes, it is how infoboxes work. Ultimately, your revert was correct because the line is used for birth name, not stage or common name. Bottom line: your "schooling" comment to me was unnecessary as well as unnecessarily harsh; the rest of your edit summary is accurate, more appropriate, and to the point of why the name should be left out. -- Winkelvi ● ✉ ✓ 21:48, 15 July 2014 (UTC)

Not quite sure a UAA report can be "stale". Vandalism reports at AIV, sure. But usernames at UAA are either against policy or acceptable.

A while back, I started looking at the gum cards to try to grab some photos of 1950s-1960s singers and vocal groups. The main gum companies in the US back then were Topps, Fleer and Bowman. All of them produced sports cards and both Topps and Fleer did music ones too.
When I went to copyright.gov for renewal info on the ones that had a copyright mark, I found nothing for renewals on the pre-1964 cards from any of these companies. The only thing you have to watch is if you start dealing with the Topps non-sports cards for television shows. McHale's Navy comes to mind because they did some cards with photos from the show. There's two copyright notices on the McHale cards--one for Topps, which was not renewed, and one for the TV production company, which was. You can go up to and include 1963 cards re: years. Sounds like there's gonna be a lot of new hockey player pics around here! :) We hope ( talk) 04:20, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
The other two are copies (second generation photos) from a fan's scrapbook. We don't know who took them or whether they were ever published or seen outside of the scrapbook until they came onto eBay. Sorry, but because of that, we can't say they're PD. We hope ( talk) 20:44, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
Card type | USA PD date, text | USA PD date, image | Canadian PD date | Comment |
---|---|---|---|---|
File:Clyde McPhatter 1960.JPG | 1960 | 1989 | 2011 | Assumes anonymous authorship for Canadian PD year. USA is different for text and image due to different notice requirements for text and images. Assumes that USA copyright wasn't renewed. |
File:1939 Bowman Play Ball cards 1.JPG | 1939 | 1939 | 1990 | If any photos were taken before 1939, then the Canadian PD year for those photos is earlier. |
Canadian card from 1940, no notice and no renewal | 1940 | 1940 | 1991 | Assumes photo taken in 1940, otherwise the Canadian PD year for image is earlier. Also assumes that the text author is anonymous. |
Canadian card from 1940, with notice but without renewal | 1969 | 1969 | 1991 | Assumes photo taken in 1940, otherwise the Canadian PD year for image is earlier. Also assumes that the text author is anonymous. |
Canadian card from 1940, with notice and renewal | 2036 | 2036 | 1991 | Assumes photo taken in 1940, otherwise the Canadian PD year for image is earlier. Also assumes that the text author is anonymous. |
Canadian card from 1950, no notice and no renewal, distributed in both USA and Canada | 1950 | 1950 | 2001 | Assumes anonymous authorship & photograph taken after 1948 & not previously published. |
Canadian card from 1950, with notice but without renewal, distributed in both USA and Canada | 1979 | 1979 | 2001 | Assumes anonymous authorship & photograph taken after 1948 & not previously published. |
Canadian card from 1950, with notice and renewal, distributed in both USA and Canada | 2046 | 2046 | 2001 | Assumes anonymous authorship & photograph taken after 1948 & not previously published. |
Canadian card from 1950, with or without notice and renewal, distributed in Canada only | 2046 | 2046 | 2001 | Assumes anonymous authorship & photograph taken after 1948 & not previously published. |
A renewal for a Canadian card means that the Canadian copyright holder submitted a renewal to the United States Copyright Office, and the renewal only affects the copyright status within the United States. It can probably be assumed that no Canadian cards were renewed, but the URAA problem makes lots of Canadian post-1945 cards copyrighted in the United States. Wikipedia only cares about USA's PD rules, so a card which is in the public domain in the United States but copyrighted in Canada counts as "free", whereas a card which is in the public domain in Canada but copyrighted in the United States counts as "unfree". This makes it harder for Canadians to use articles which contain card images. -- Stefan2 ( talk) 12:14, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
I think you've found a winner here. :) Just did a little research and found out these cards were printed on Chex cereal boxes from 1963-1965. They don't have a mark on either side, so they should be fine as US-PD-no notice. Have seen cartoon character cutouts printed on various cereal boxes from the 1930s on and in their cases, the fronts were always marked--especially in the case of Disney characters. ;)
What I'd do is archive the message board link that talks about them being from Chex during those years (because they have no marking to show that's where they came from), and each of the eBay auction links that says this is one of the Chex cereal box cards. Would include info and links on the file description page when you upload. Wayback Machine now has an easy archive at Save Page Now, but you have to bookmark your links; this one doesn't send email notice as WebCite does/did.
While I was looking the other day, I did see some Coke "giveaway" cards. They're not marked or dated in any way. What I didn't find out is whether they were only Canadian or if they were also distributed in the US. They're from the 1960's-1970s and would be in the PD-US-no notice range if one could find out if they were ever given out in the US. I didn't take them because of that. Will go over Stefan2's info and table later, but wanted to let you know there's a good reason to like Chex. :-) We hope ( talk) 14:35, 1 February 2014 (UTC)
OK, let's start with Emile Francis photos:
Henri Richard:
I'd bookmark these but hold off on them until one of us is sure we understand the information Stefan2 provided. I don't believe York Peanut Butter is/was sold in the US, so these were probably Canada only. Would do the same with the two George Armstrong ones for the same reason.
Hope this helps somewhat! We hope ( talk) 02:40, 4 February 2014 (UTC)

Feel free to nominate the article at DYK. Looks like it qualifies for February 2 in that regard. Not sure of your history at DYK, but I'll definitely have to do a quid pro quo review. I'd still like to create a playing style section that will summarize his play and his legacy (HHOF, number honoured, etc) as well as check out a couple books from my local library for extra personal life and to fill in some time gaps on his career before considering a GA run.

Sorry for the slow reply. Have been trying to get more photos on Commons, deal with some RL things that wouldn't wait and am now having issues with Firefox since the version 27 update. Every time I try to save a photo, it crashes. :( My Win 7 is up to date with everything including A/V. No issues with it unless you want to do something with a photo. Managed to think a bit more about the George Armstrong photos and believe you're right about who issued them. With that in mind, it would make sense that either NHL or the team distributed the photos to all relevant media outlets in North America at the same time, so they should be OK as US-pre-1978, no notice. Didn't forget about Stefan2's table-have bookmarked it and will go over it ASAP. We hope ( talk) 15:29, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
Hello, I noticed that you moved the references for her death from the intro to the body of the article. I don't object to this ~ in fact I prefer it ~ but I am wondering if you can point me to anywhere where this is indicated as preferred. While I understand that information in the introduction is not normally referenced, some editors understandably seem to take the view that with recent deaths this fact should be referenced in the intro. Your thoughts on this will be appreciated. Cheers, Afterwriting ( talk) 16:29, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
I have serious doubts about the reliability of the source you've provided. (Any author who thinks "Dutch" refers to the people of Denmark isn't very credible.) I have been scouring all Danish sources and they all just say "his family informed that he died peacefully in his sleep", no location mentioned. The AP article that all the English sources are based on all say "A daughter, Karin Moerch, announced the death but did not say where he died or give the cause of death." Or else some reduced version of that sentence. So I don't think it is public knowledge where he died. I'm guessing the author of the article you reference thinks Denmark = Copenhagen (and is populated by Dutch people). RenniePet ( talk) 03:09, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

Lose the attitude. You've blocked one innocent GF newbie for this already. I do not appreciate your sarcastic tone one bit. "so look for refs?" might carry a bit more weight if you weren't adding that to an article where I'd already just added those missing sources to it. Of course there are sources – it's a slack news day. They still don't add up to a story that's more than a local footnote and is nowhere near world-encyclopedic, hence the prod. If you have a rational opposition to that PROD, I trust that you know the process for objecting to it. Hint: it's not whining in an edit summary. Andy Dingley ( talk) 02:57, 28 February 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I finally got around to looking at Jim Gregory (ice hockey) I gave it a little copy editing, but I really couldn't find more information, not a surprise I don't really have access to older print media or hockey related books. Feel free to revert any of my changes I'm not the best with prose. I think it might be beneficial to explain the line "and developing a relationship with his favourite player, Ted Kennedy." the entire sentence probably needs to be broken up so if you could explain that line more in depth as its own sentence it might work better.

I found your name on the Military History project page. Trying to clarify whether Chuck Yeager ever got promoted to Maj Gen (ret) in 2005 or at any other time. There are a number of news reports that describe him in passing as a retired Major General, but they could have gotten that info from old versions of Wikipedia. I've found where Congress authorized the president to promote him to Maj Gen (Ronald W. Reagan National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2005, 108th Congress [3]), but I don't know whether the president/military command ever actually made the promotion.

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:ConcordiaUTexas.svg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Nthep ( talk) 21:18, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Anatoly Kornukov, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Krasnogorsk. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Just so you know, my revert at the Kenan Thompson article was related to the edit summary given by the IP editor ("redundant"). The IPs reasoning was to remove the name because it was redundant to have the name in the body the infobox as it was at the title/top of the infobox - that indicated to me there is a lack of understanding regarding infoboxes. I reverted only because having the name in the infobox twice (title and body) is SOP, hence, my edit summary comment. So, yes, it is how infoboxes work. Ultimately, your revert was correct because the line is used for birth name, not stage or common name. Bottom line: your "schooling" comment to me was unnecessary as well as unnecessarily harsh; the rest of your edit summary is accurate, more appropriate, and to the point of why the name should be left out. -- Winkelvi ● ✉ ✓ 21:48, 15 July 2014 (UTC)

Could you trace Hay's signature found here (frontispiece) and add to the infobox? Many thanks.-- Wehwalt ( talk) 13:10, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

Not quite sure a UAA report can be "stale". Vandalism reports at AIV, sure. But usernames at UAA are either against policy or acceptable. I'm confused as to why you marked several requests as "stale". Rjd0060 ( talk) 04:52, 9 August 2014 (UTC) I see there's a template for this...that doesn't help explain the point of it though. What's your rationale, personally? Rjd0060 ( talk) 04:54, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
Hi. I noticed that you made an edit to William Sutherland (N.W.T. politician). In it, you set the infobox's death date as the 30th, but the first sentence as the 13th. Which is correct? -- Krenair ( talk • contribs) 13:14, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
