Hi, can you, please, see again your comment here Special:diff/1250228697...?
I suppose there is some verb missing right after "people might start to". Best regards, CiaPan (talk) 07:20, 9 October 2024 (UTC)

Yes, I left out the verb. Thanks for catching it. -- Marchjuly (talk) 11:06, 9 October 2024 (UTC)

Hello Marchjuly, I have a question about image copyright, hope you can help. This photo and this one are both in the Gardiner, Arthur Z. collection. The author says that the US government has copyrighted this material, I'm not sure if the General Lê Văn Kim.jpg file has the correct image tag; if so, then similar photos like this one and this one — also in the same collection — can be uploaded with the same PD-USGov tag, right? Thank you. CalCoWSpiBudSu (talk) 05:20, 16 October 2024 (UTC)

This might be a good thing to ask about at

presidential libraries automatically is in the public domain because I think such libraries are often run by private foundations or other organizations and not necessarily the US federal government; for example, the Wikipedia article about the Harry S. Truman Presidential Library and Museum states it was built using private funds even though it's being administered by the National Archives and Records Administration. So, it's possible (I guess) the library is hosting photos taken by persons who weren't working for the US federal government. If, however, the photos were taken by a US federal government employee as part of their official duties, they probably would be within the public domain regardless of where they're found online. Finally, even though the library seems to be selling prints/files of such photos, they also don't seem to be claiming copyright ownership over them because of the statement "The Library is unaware of any copyright claims to this item; use at your own risk." The library seems to be essentially just charging a fee for sending out of files/copies of the photos and perhaps some associated documentation, but not for a license to use the photos. -- Marchjuly (talk) 06:02, 16 October 2024 (UTC)

Thanks BhikhariInformer (talk) 10:42, 24 October 2024 (UTC)

Hi

Wikipedia's non-free content use policy; so, there's going to be no way for Wikipedia to keep this photo without obtaining its copyright holder's consent. -- Marchjuly (talk) 20:36, 24 October 2024 (UTC)

Okay. Now I understand it clearly. Thanks for your guidance. BhikhariInformer (talk) 02:12, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

hi, draft:Bigil Toks This page is not showing publish opts why? --Rawvandom (talk) 13:10, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

@Rawvandom: Draft:Bigil Toks was submitted for review to Wikipedia:Articles for creation several times and it was declined each time before finally being rejected by the Theroadislong on April 16, 2022. When a draft is "declined", it means that the AfC reviewer feels that the draft isn't ready to be upgraded to article status just yet but can possibly be improved enough to someday be approved as an article. However, when a draft is "rejected", it means that the AfC reviewer feels that the draft is not only not ready for article status now but will also unlikely be ever ready for article status since it's unlikely ever going be able to be improved enough to meet Wikipedia's standards. If you feel that this isn't the case and would like the draft to be reviewed again, I think there are two things you could try. The first one would be to post a message at User talk:Theroadislong to see whether their opinion of the draft has changed since April 2022. The other thing you could try would be to ask for a re-assessment of the draft by posting at Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Help desk. For what it's worth, it would probably be better to discuss things with Theroadislong first, even if only as a courtesy, and see what they have to say. -- Marchjuly (talk) 00:47, 29 October 2024 (UTC)

Can I create an article on Wikipedia? --Panford delicia (talk) 11:31, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

Hi Panford delicia. Anyone can, in principle, create a Wikipedia article but only if the subject of the article meets Wikipedia:Notability. For some more information on this, you might want to take a look at Wikipedia:The answer to life, the universe, and everything, Help:Your first article and Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not. -- Marchjuly (talk) 12:09, 30 October 2024 (UTC)
