ok so i created Eagle Lake trailhead, but its actually Eagle Falls Trailhead people call it both, but its actually Eagle Falls Trailhead so how do I change it and add a redirect? to make Eagle Lake Trailhead point to Eagle Falls Trailhead?

ok so the real name was supposed to Eagle Falls Trailhead and I renamed or 'moved' the original article, but now the redirect you setup is doing this...click to see Eagle Lake Trailhead...I dont know how to fix it.

Thanks for your interest - boy were you quick off the mark! - Ballista 06:16, 5 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I am sorry about the gallary and i will not do it again Thank you for telling me.

you say "full permission to Wikipedia is not good enough, needs to be released under a free license." i can contact the The World Coin Gallery owner to get the free license, if you tell me how. Kingturtle 00:53, 8 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sure. All of the details, as well as several examples, are spelled out at Wikipedia:Example requests for permission. --Hetar 03:08, 8 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Don Norris has sent me an email and CCed permissions@wikimedia.org. it reads:

I hereby agree to grant Wikimedia full permission to use any coin images from my webpages at worldcoingallery.com under terms of the GNU Free Documentation License. Don Norris owner of http://worldcoingallery.com

what do i do with this? Kingturtle 21:17, 8 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, he needs to license those images under the GNU Free Documentation for use by anyone. Due to the fact that we license/sell/distribute our content to different entities, permission specific to Wikipedia is not good enough. Once you get him to grant the correct permissions, just have him send an email to yourself and to permissions AT wikimedia DOT org. --Hetar 03:48, 9 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

hmmm. maybe the letter samples at Wikipedia:Example requests for permission need some rewording. we were trying to follow closely what it told us to do. can you write out exactly word-for-word what he needs to say in his email? Kingturtle 23:25, 9 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

From what I can see all the letters are worded correctly. They all mention that the material needs to be licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) so that anyone can modify it. A simple statement like the following should work:

I BLANK hereby release all images on my website WEBSITEADDRESS under the GNU Free Documentation (GFDL) license. I understand that this means that although I will retain the copyright and authorship of my work, I am granting permission for all others (not just Wikipedia) to use, copy, and share these materials freely—and even potentially use them commercially—as long as they do not try to claim the copyright themselves, or try to prevent others from using or copying them freely.

It made it as the FP? I cant seem to find where it says that...it just says canidate? plus people have edited the image and uploaded it, but there is no reference to me as the photograher...how do i fix this?

Hey Hetar! I noticed that you placed a "criteria for speedy deletion" label on the Life of Riley page that I recently created. I explained in the talk page on why the band is considered to be significant. If need more info on the band, please feel free to leave a message on my talk page. =) Jumping cheese ^Contact 05:46, 12 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

pls do not change the mmec page. it results in voilation of the terms and conditions of wiki.. it will delete this page because it has copyrighted material that u r adding...

Actually, the copyrighted material was added by you. And now, the whole page must be deleted, because the copyrighted material will always exist in the page history. --Hetar 18:29, 12 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

--PEAR 19:59, 12 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Why did you remove the link? M & L —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Whitecrane (talk • contribs) .

Because Wikipedia is not an external link repository, and because you should not add links to a website that you own, maintain, or are associated with. This is because of neutrality and point-of-view concerns; neutrality is an important objective at Wikipedia, and a difficult one. If it is relevant and informative, mention it on the talk page and let other — neutral — Wikipedia editors decide whether to add the link. --Hetar 02:07, 13 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I own http://www.ipass.net/jhart/jh02bio.htm I based the band's history on the bio page. No copyright infringement. Thank you. Nello61 03:18, 13 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If such is the case, and you want your material to be used on Wikipedia, then you must do the following:

• Make a note permitting reuse under the GFDL at the site of the original publication.
• Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions at wikimedia dot org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation.

--Hetar 05:02, 13 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Though I do own the copyright to the material in question and your suggestions are more than helpful, and I'm still getting my bearings with Wikipedia. In the meantime I had written a temp page which I believe is much more readable and will completely avoid the copyright issue and is hopefully more interesting. You will also find it more in line with the narrower subject matter linked from the power pop entry that sent me to Wikipedia originally (and made me aware of this unwritten Jeff Hart and the Ruins entry). This is the page.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Jeff_Hart_and_the_Ruins/Temp I'll start over and hopefully this is a better start. Thanks for your assistance Nello61 05:41, 13 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

An administrator will eventually look at your temp page and replace the main article with it if it meets our copyright and other guidelines. Add some reliable sources and you'll even have a decent article. --Hetar 06:18, 13 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Thanks for the sourcing advice. I've put them on the temp page fr the time being. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Jeff_Hart_and_the_Ruins/Temp Nello61 14:12, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, Hetar!

I just added some of my hometown talent to the Power Pop list. One of those buddies took it upon himself to seize the opportunity and get the record straight.

Ever heard the funny story about how John Fogerty got suied for plagerizing himself?

Hetar,

I'm copyright holder for the Leh Palace picture. Sorry about not adding the source information.

I've sorted this and added to 'release to public domain' tag.

Ian (Beefy_SAFC)

Thanks! --Hetar 05:37, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there,

Can you clarify the issue with this image? [1] Thanks, --Palffy 05:14, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

1. Typically photos that you use the promophoto tag should come from an authorized promotion source, such as an official press kit. Such is obviously not the case with this foto, as it has a clear copyright watermark on it.
2. I can't understand the text at www.fcstal.lg.ua but I am assuming it is some sort of press agency. If this is the case , it qualifies for counterxample #5 at WP:FU.
3. It should be possible (and not that difficult) to obtain a non-fair use or "free" licensed image of the stadium, making any claim of fair use rather difficult.

--Hetar 05:36, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No, www.fcstal.lg.ua is actually the official site of FC Stal Alchevsk, the football club to which the stadium in question belongs to. Would you suggest that I use one without the tag for wikipedia? (such as any of the ones found here?) --Palffy 06:27, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I would suggest that you use one without the tag, and that you license it under a free license, such as the GFDL. --Hetar 06:48, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Done, I think.. --Palffy 10:09, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Hetar, I've made many pictures using NASA raw images. And I'm not sure what license should be applied to them. I changed colors, size and mosaic pictures sometime are not perfect. User talk:TxAlien --TxAlien 18:30, 16 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldnt usually delete writings from the help desk however what i deleted was my question i had just written and then realized the question was already asked and answered.

Que? 18:52, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's still important that you leave it there, other users often benefit from reading the questions and their answers. --Hetar 19:11, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Why did you dispute the fair use status of this image? I've asked a few admin on IRC and the seem to thing it's ok on James J Smith, except one person mentioned there might have been mention by someone else of AP images not being suitable (couldn't remember why or where though). Are you able to clarify the position? Petros471 16:27, 18 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This is a perfect example of images that do not qualify for fair use (#5) from WP:FU, "A photo from a press agency (e.g. Reuters, AP), not so famous as to be iconic, to illustrate an article on the subject of the photo." Also, the subject is still alive, so it should be possible to obtain a free license photo. --Hetar 18:48, 18 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, so I take it I should re-remove it from the article and delete it then? I don't know if you do now (as you tagged that one a while back) but could you please put in the reason when adding {{Fair use disputed}} to help people learn why the image can't be used under fair use.

What was the name and website of Wikipedian effort to create a global Biography for every person in the world? Stanton BG 12:36, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What exactly do you mean by a "global biography"? If you just mean a normal biography for everyone in the world, I'm not even sure if such a project ever existed around here. I know that currently many Wikipedians agree that there are a large majority of people who do not merit a biography/article on Wikipedia (see WP:BIO). Although, maybe what your looking for is Wikipedia:WikiProject Biography? --Hetar 17:36, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

ok so first see World temperature extremes

one person brought it to my attention and I didn't think it was even close to right so i researched it and I found

http://hypertextbook.com/facts/2000/MichaelLevin.shtml doesn't confirm

http://members.iinet.com.au/~jacob/worldtp.html doesn't confirm

http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/climate/globalextremes.html NOAA doesn't confirm

http://www.extremescience.com/hottest.htm doesn't confirm, but does confirm what i said...lol

there is also that doesn't confirm Temperature extreme if you read the article it says that temperatures recorded inside forest fires do not count...hmm

http://www.gsfc.nasa.gov/scienceques2001/20020524.htm Nasa says no too

http://www.answerbag.com/q_view.php/2389 another no

Extremes on Earth says different

what do I do? the guy who added it is ademant that its true...he has no listed source, but the numbers a crazy comparitively...not an issue of different means of collecting the numbers or standards type of thing...

Hi, does not a solution tell you 'howto' information? Solutions to secure wireless LAN tell people how to go about securing them, does it not? I propose we change the heading of the section to something like 'Security options'. —Raanoo 05:21, 4 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, thats fine. The section wasn't really a howto, at least in the negative sense. Normal how to problems arise when we are stepping out instructions for various tasks, and including too much detail. Explaining how certain tasks are done, still has value, as long as its not excessive in detail. A good example of this is the explanation of how embalming is done in the Embalming article. --Hetar 05:27, 4 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Two of those seven said "either with a preference for edit 1." while 10 had no preference or preferred the original. --Hetar 05:33, 20 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

To me no preference votes go to the one that has more support, which is by far edit 1 in this case. -Ravedave ^{(help name my baby)} 05:42, 20 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I understand that. However, there is no "rule" that states which way 'no preference' votes must fall. --Hetar 05:46, 20 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ok then lets put this on hold and have people clarify. I'll post a message on FPC talk. If that doesnt clear it up in a day or two I'll message the neutral votes. Sound good? -Ravedave ^{(help name my baby)} 05:52, 20 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Whiteballoon82.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too.

This is an automated message from a robot. You have recently uploaded Image:Avidlogo.png. The file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. 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:Non-free content, 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 files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Your definition of the "swirlie" is great, but there is also the famous "golden swirlie", where the swirling toilet water is yellow due to urine. Maybe you could add that to your definition.

I got a good laugh out of the "swirlie" coming up on wikipedia. Thanks . . .

And we should not forget the disgusting "dirty swirly". You can guess what that variant of the "swirly" entails.

Completing the full list of swirlies in Wikipedia is a noble cause ! !

I have tagged Image:BestTwo.jpg as {{no rationale}}, because it does not provide a fair use rationale. If you believe the image to be acceptable for fair use according to Wikipedia policy, please provide a rationale explaining as much, in accordance with the fair use rationale guideline, on the image description page. Some examples can be found at Wikipedia:Use rationale examples. Please also consider using {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Non-free. Thank you.

Thank you for uploading Image:MovieGallery.gif. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 15:01, 8 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Recently I found a user talk page that contained only a notice that said "This is my talk page", and then forbade everyone to post there without the user's consent. I went ahead with the comment I had intended to post, then explained that these user talk pages are here for a purpose and there is no reason for people to respect such an irrational request.

Wikipedian's are supposed to collaborate.

That's an extreme case.

User:Hetar is not so extreme. But he or she responded to a brief comment of mine requesting his or her opinion on a Wikipedia editing matter by telling me I was forbidden to post here.

My recent experience causes me to revisit the issue. These user talk pages are not purely private property of the users. Although the experience demonstrated that "Hetar" lacks the ability to contribute on the matter in question, an issue remains that is of some interest precisely because these pages are not private property of the users. When I asked for his or her opinion, I did not know that Hetar harbored a personal hatred for me that was not based on any reasons or causes. Participation in Wikipedia presupposes a certain willingness to communicate and discuss with others. We must respect the fact that Hetar lacks the ability to contribute on the particular topic in question, but what degree of respect do we owe to such irrational hatred?
