I see that you've been quite busy changing many properly formatted en-dashes into hyphens. Might I ask why? It's a violation of

I'm afraid that I overrode your edit in an edit conflict -- but when I checked, I found that you'd only added a comma in the middle of a date. There isn't any point doing that, as the Wikipedia date engine shows the date with or without a comma depending on the User's preferences; I never see a comma, because in England we don't use one, but U.S. users always see commas (if they have their preferences set properly). --Phronima 21:49, 10 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I realize that you are well-intentioned on this, but (for example) [[4 October]] is correct Commonwealth English markup; there is no particular reason to change Commonwealth English to U.S. English in an article on Latin America. See Wikipedia:Manual of Style#National varieties of English. -- Jmabel | Talk 02:25, 3 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

I'm new here, and I'm still learning. Most of my contributions to Wikipedia thus far have been birth & death dates. I'm unsure of the correct dash to use to separate the two. I read somewhere in the editing instructions to use the em dash not the en dash. I noticed on your Page you seem to prefer the en dash. Which is correct? Michael David 15:33, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed you changed my "(born Coretta Scott; {dates}." It seems to be common and logical to list birthname with birthdate: see, for example, Kathie Lee Gifford and Maya Angelou.

Hi. I am a

a bit more often when you contribute. The reason an edit summary is important is because it allows your fellow contributors to understand what you changed; you can think of it as the "Subject:" line in an email. For your information, your current edit summary usage is 6% for major edits and 0% for minor edits. (Based on the last 150 major and 150 minor edits in the article namespace.)

Hi there. On your user page you contrast and compare these two lines:

([[October 23]], [[1923]] - [[December 1]], [[2005]])
([[October 23]], [[1923]] – [[December 1]], [[2005]])

But they look identical to me. The upper one is supposedly one you hate and the lower one is the one you favor. Please clue me in on the difference. I noticed your (minor) edit of Kevin Payne which according to page history entailed exchanging the hyphen/dash separating the birth/death dates; could not see the difference in my browser, and followed you to your user page. Is this something that renders differently for you, and not for me? Oh, and could you please use edit summaries? -- Mareklug ^talk 05:06, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey mate, we're trying to write an article there and not build a gallery :-) The thing is, the pictures were laid out in a neat order - John then Paul then George then Ringo, which you've upset rather :-) Do you think you could choose the one or two best pictures from your batch, and move them after the JPG & R individual pictures, and remove the rest? The pictures you remove can maybe go onto the talk page so other people can see what spare photos we have available. I appreciate you're adding some colour, but the pictures of the 4 guys in order is really too great a concept to meddle with don't you think? :) --kingboyk 00:12, 4 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please tell me exactly why you prefer that ugly George Harrison image over the better one? Perhaps the better one is copyrighted (like is said in the image itself), but it is fair use and it is low-resolution for non-profit purposes. There are tons of copyrighted fair-use images on Wikipedia, just like the George Harrison image I propose that we use.

Not meaning to be rude, but if my proposed image is still just not acceptable, any chance we could dig up some better image of George Harrison, that we can actually use? --Weierstraß (talk) 20:36, 2 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I wasn't the one who added it (and I don't think it's a great picture either) but you might say something on talk for whoever did post it. Just wondered what the problem with it is - some of the photo rules are kind of obscure to me! Tvoz |talk 03:42, 2 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Bbsrock, I was curious where on Barack Obama's campaign website it indicates that Image:Obamaharvard.JPG is freely licensed. --Iamunknown 00:24, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Also (sorry for bombarding you, I have Barack Obama on my watchlist), the source for Image:ObamaSpeech.jpg indicates that it is an A.P., not a Senate, photograph. I don't that is free. --Iamunknown 00:27, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright status of Image:Obamaharvard.JPG

Please do not post copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder, as you did to Image:Obamaharvard.JPG. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites (http://www.barackobama.com/photos/ in this case) or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) then you should do one of the following:

• If you have permission from the author leave a message explaining the details on the article [[Talk:Image:Obamaharvard.JPG|Talk page]] and send an email with the message to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia (dot) org". See Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
• If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted under the
  GFDL
  or released into the public domain leave a note at [[Talk:Image:Obamaharvard.JPG]] with a link to where we can find that note;
• If you own the copyright to the material: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the
  GFDL
  and then leave a note at [[Talk:Image:Obamaharvard.JPG]] with a link to the details.

Otherwise, you are encouraged to rewrite this article in your own words to avoid any copyright infringement. After you do so, you should place a {{hangon}} tag on the article page and leave a note at [[Talk:Image:Obamaharvard.JPG]] saying you have done so. An administrator will review the new content before taking action.

It is also important that all Wikipedia articles have an encyclopedic tone and follow

Wikipedia article layout. For more information on Wikipedia's policies, see Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. --HailFire 19:53, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply

Free images

Regarding your email about freely licensed images ...

For anyone who is/was in the US congress, there is an official portrait that, as a work of the US federal government, is public domain. The official photo of John Edwards is already up there. You can also look at his old senate webpage using http://web.archive.org - most members of congress have photo galleries on their webpages and they are all public domain.

One cheesy trick is to use google image search with site:.gov. So, for example, if I wanted to try and find former Virginia governor Jim Gilmore, I could go to [2]. (Keep in mind that you will get some false positives this way - you need to make sure that a prospective image is really from the US federal government and not a state government website.)

As far as contacting the campaign directly, if they don't reply, there isn't but so much to do other than to try contacting a different person. (For example, you may have just used a generic "contact us" link, but you might want to look around for an email address/phone number for a media liason or something.) Also, it's important to make sure that your email clearly identifies who we are and what our licensing requirements are and that it is not just "can you send me a photo". Using language like "to help us improve coverage of your candidate" is a good idea because whoever you are contacting will share that goal. Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission has some decent sample letters of permission if you haven't already seen them.

Does that kinda answer your question? There's no magic potion or anything ... just be polite and ask nicely and often, they will help. --BigDT 18:45, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Yes, you can use it for your article, just kindly give me credit for taking the picture." is NOT equal to the "PD-self" tag you placed on the image. First, you are not the creator of the work. Second, the creator only give permission for use in this article. Third, the creator required photo credit - a requirement not expressed in the "PD-self" copyright tag.

There is a problem I have with the photo. For it to be used, the author must relicense that photo with a GNU or Creative Commons license (it must be noted that Flickr does the CC licensing).

Your image of Chris Benoit

Hi,

since you have a focus on images, I feel I should tell you to upload your images to Commons if they are under a free license... It'll save on the backlog, and provide smaller sister projects with images. Please remember to always upload free work to Commons.

--Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 21:11, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, GFDL images are welcome, as well as all Creative Commons images that are not non-commercial or no-derivates (so {{

cc-by-nc-nd-2.0}}) is not. If it's your own work, GFDL has the disadvantage that the license has been written for software and text and not for images. That is why more images are licensed through Creative Commons than via GFDL.--Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 22:39, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply

Image source problem with Image:Jackfigurelost.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Jackfigurelost.jpg. I noticed that 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.

However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

Replaceable fair use Image:Richardsonportrait.jpg

Thanks for uploading

first fair use criterion

in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to
   di-replaceable fair use disputed
   }}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our

Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Tom (talk - email) 23:16, 30 October 2007 (UTC)[reply

Editing survey

Hi Bbsrock. My name is Mike Lyons and I am a doctoral student at Indiana University. I am conducting research on the writing and editing of high traffic “current events” articles on Wikipedia. I have noticed in the talk page archives at Barack Obama that you have contributed to the editing or maintenance of the article. I was hoping you would agree to fill out a brief survey about your experience. This study aims to help expand our thinking about collaborative knowledge production. Believe me I share your likely disdain for surveys but your participation would be immensely helpful in making the study a success. A link to the survey is included below.

Link to the survey: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=P6r2MmP9rbFMuDigYielAQ_3d_3d

Notification of automated file description generation

Your upload of File:Bobweirratdog.jpg or contribution to its description is noted, and thanks (even if belatedly) for your contribution. In order to help make better use of the media, an attempt has been made by an automated process to identify and add certain information to the media's description page.

This notification is placed on your talk page because a bot has identified you either as the uploader of the file, or as a contributor to its metadata. It would be appreciated if you could carefully review the information the bot added. To opt out of these notifications, please follow the instructions here. Thanks!
