Have a nice day. BGM^{Talk | Work} 20:53, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Images are to be used in articles,

if they are not in an article, then they will be deleted. Melesse (talk) 03:29, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

I'm used to deleting categories that way after everything's cleared, but you're right, I should have thought of that. Silly mistake of mine. Melesse (talk) 17:07, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Why was no notice of this given at the pages where it's linked? How was anybody supposed to know that it was proposed for deletion? Please restore the image and notify affected parties so people can dispute it, or correct whatever's wrong with it. It's completely unfair that images suddenly disappear before anyone has a clue there's an issue. (If the issue here was the lack of a fair use rationale, then you should have taken into account that when it was uploaded there was no such requirement. When was anyone supposed to have added one?) -- Zsero (talk) 13:24, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for restoring it. -- Zsero (talk) 14:36, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Melesse, I have had another bad day, and need cheering up very badly.:'-(

Thank you!

[1][2]. Seriously, are you the only person who ever does this?

Can we just comment on ur page if thats alrite? On the website http://www.makedonija.info/language.html there is an image of the Macedonian speakers. Could you help me in uploading it? And also http://www.ethnologue.org/show_map.asp?name=GR&seq=10 on that page the map? i have uploaded them before but they were both removed thanx.

I don't know which picture you're talking about on the first page, the top one with letters? The map was removed because it is a image, meaning it's copyrighted by someone (probably that site or someone who works there). And since it's a map that means someone could make a freely licensed image. That's the most important rule of fair use images: If someone could make an image and license it freely, then you have to ask them to do that, you can't use a fair-use image instead (there might even already be a free one around, try looking on Wikimedia Commons). Melesse (talk) 05:53, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

No, with the first one if you scroll down a bit you will see the heading Macedonian and Neighbouring Languages and it is there. and it writes i think use of the macedonian language. I remember reading on the terms of use for the ethnologue.com it may be used? could you please get back to me thanx. btw wat is free use?

talk) 05:58, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, still don't know which picture you're talking about, I see a picture with letters (not that one), then an old-style map, and then a picture of a monastery. Free use means it has to be free to use anywhere and I believe it also has to be allowed to modify it. Since Wikipedia is a reference site, then other sites may come here to get pictures. That site has a restriction saying that their pictures can't be used on adult sites or other questionable sites, so they can't be used here, in case someone comes to Wikipedia and takes the pictures to put on their adult site (which is totally possible). Melesse (talk) 06:05, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Yep thats alrite, i was talking bout the old-style map, above the monastery. Oh ok i understand now :). Sorry to be a pain but what about the map at the EXTREME bottom of this page http://maps.blog.com.mk/ (east central and southeastern europe map) is that also 'free use' or can it be used on wikipedia under another category. thanx

talk) 06:10, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

I really don't know. I'm tempted to say yes, but just to be safe I think it would be a good idea to ask someone at the

Graphic Lab to redraw the map (also just because it's pretty hard to read). Melesse (talk) 06:21, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

ok thankyou melesse i was wondering should i see the people at graphic lab about the old-style map on http://www.makedonija.info/language.html or the map on http://maps.blog.com.mk/ (east central and southeastern europe map) ???

talk) 06:24, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Actually now that I think about it, I really don't know the rules for maps. I can't think of anyone specific who is good with them either, so try the

copyright help desk, hopefully someone who really knows their stuff will answer your question quickly. Just say you want to use these maps in whatever article you're going to put them in, but you don't know what license they are. Haha, sorry I ended up being not that helpful. Melesse (talk) 06:33, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Thats alrite! i will try both copyright help desk and graphic lab. is there a specialist section (on wikipedia, like a talk page) for uploading images?

talk) 06:39, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, the copyright help desk. Melesse (talk) 06:40, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the help :)!

Hey Melesse, I have a question for you. Is there a way you can undelete this image? I'm not sure if Wikipedia saves files that are deleted or not. I didn't catch it being deleted - if I did, I would have fixed the licensing on it. Thanks --Dan Leveille^TALK 23:13, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your help with getting the page right. This was one of my early attempts and in need of fixing (not that my recent one are much better...) --

All the images i have used so far is being diplayed in a separate page (User:Shivaji Mitra/LesTout.com) as requested by Admin עוד מישהו. Should I add the {{not orphan}} in all the images?

Thanks for uploading

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. Note that the image description page must include the exact name or a link to each article the image is used in and a separate rationale for each one. (If a link is used, automated processes may improperly add the related tag to the image. Please change the fair use template to refer to the exact name, if you see this warning.)

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted after seven days according to our

Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rockfang (talk) 03:14, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Nope, I do them by hand. I wish I knew how to make a bot do this stuff. Melesse (talk) 07:23, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Well, well done then. You're pretty efficient ;-) — Werdna talk 07:24, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
