Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Kingofcomedydvd.jpg

Re: copyrighted images

I am not sure if you do this often, but removing images first and asking two days later may not be very respectful of other editors' capacities and intentions. Use of a copyrighted image is fair only if the accompanying text strongly requires so. Of the three images you removed, use of at least one (Image:Drnopromo.jpg) was fairly fair, as the importance and impact of that iconic bikini wearing is referred to both in the History and Bikini in popular culture sections. The paranoia about non-free images sometime prevailing notwithstanding, the regular behavior for this type of cleanup goes through a few simple steps - (a) ask/warn the editor who put in the images about the appropriateness of use, may be also on the article talk page; (b) when an appropriate amount of time (ideally five days, like AfDs and IfDs) has passed without a satisfying answer forthcoming, the images in discussion may be removed from the article; (c) if the very existence of the image on Wikipedia seems questionable, then put a semi-speedy deletions tag on the image itself, with a note to the uploader; (d) if use of the image is justified, leave the image alone; if there's too much hassle, take it to IfD; and if the uploader or another editor fails to provide appropriate justification, delete. Thanks... and Happy New Year. Aditya^{(talk • contribs)} 05:17, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's not about being nice. It's about mutual respect, assuming good faith... and, most importantly, discussions. That it exactly why we have talk pages (to discuss). That is how differences in opinion are settled. While you unilaterally can declare that If there is no doubt wether or not to remove the image, remove it, and I can, again unilaterally, declare that use of at least one (Image:Drnopromo.jpg) was fairly fair - both of us are actually sticking to our opinions. While both opinions are in accordance with the policies and guidelines, there is ample reason to discuss the matter beyond being nice. There is also ample scope to develop the article and the image description page to solve the matter in a constructive (and additive) way. An encyclopedia with more than 2 million articles, many of them of very high standards, was not built merely by policing, but mostly by developing. By the way, what makes you think that you know the policies more than others? Implying that superiority repeatedly is not too "nice". Right? Aditya^{(talk • contribs)} 14:30, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
10 things is not policy, not even a guideline. It's an essay. The best essay on image copyright, I guess, is still the one created be Megapixie. While useful in understanding how Wikipedia works, essays are hardly quotable as policy. Aditya^{(talk • contribs)} 02:26, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply
]
Then talk policies, not experience or essays. And, there are elaborate guidelines about dealing with non-free images, way beyond the scope for the essay. It takes a little time to grasp all that. But a careful reading of the policies and guidelines, coupled with observation of how it's done, will explain the process quite easily. Regards.

Your You Tube Videos

As you may be aware, YouTube has recently come in for criticism over it's handling of copyrighted works.
I note that you have a number of potentially interesting videos on You Tube that you link to from your user page.
Instead of supporting troubled proprietary sites, Why not support projects that value creative talent and assist in ensuring that a viewing public can enjoy and expand upon it?
Wikimedia Commons is one project that needs creative content (under licensing that lets people enjoy and expand upon it).
It would be much appreciated if you could see if you would consider migrating videos for which you are the copyright owner to 'open' formats like Ogg Theora, and moving them from 'failed' propriatey sites like YouTube to community sites like Wikimedia Commons, under an appropriate license.

Nomination of Nýtt líf for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Nýtt líf is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nýtt líf until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. --Lambiam 16:32, 25 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Icelandic recordings

You haven't been active on Wikimedia for a while, but thought I would still ask: would you be able to record audio examples of Icelandic as audio illustrations for some Wikipedia articles? — Eru·tuon 02:37, 22 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yea, sure. Did you have any in mind? --Steinn inn 17:50, 3 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Yay! Glad to get a response. I'm thinking of the set of examples in Aspirated consonant § Preaspirated:
kapp [kʰɑʰp] or [kʰɑhp] "zeal"

gabb [kɑpp] "hoax"

gap [kɑːp] "opening"

But I just realized that this set of examples might be confusing for some readers because of the initial aspirated consonant in kapp, so another set would be better:
sakka [sɑhkɑ] "sinkstone"

sagga [sɑkkɑ] "dampness" (obl. sg.)

saka [sɑːkɑ] "to blame"

Since this is an audio illustration of contrasts, you would record all three words in a single soundfile, like the other examples in Aspirated consonant. There are other contrasts in Icelandic phonology that would be nice to have recordings of, but I'm most concerned with the aspiration examples at the moment.

other examples
tæp [tʰɑɪːpʰ] "uncertain" (fem.); tæpt [tʰɑɪft] "uncertain" (neut.)
grafa [krɑːvɑ] "to dig"; grafta [krɑftɑ] "to dig"; grafna [krɑpnɑ] "to dig"
segi [sɛːjɪ] "(I) say"; sagt [sɑxt] "(was) said"; sagði [sɑɣðɪ] "(I) said", saga [sɑːɣɑ] "something said, story"; sagna [sɑknɑ] "(of) stories" (gen. pl.)
koppar [kʰɔhpɑr] "small pot" (nom. pl.); kobbar [kʰɔppɑr] "young seal" (nom. pl.); kopar [kʰɔːpɑr] "copper"
kapp [kʰɑhp] "zeal"; gabb [kɑpp] "hoax"; gap [kɑːp] "opening"
gættir [cɑɪhtɪr] "doorway" (nom. pl.); gæddir [cɑɪttɪr] "endow" (2nd sg. past); gætir [cɑɪːtɪr] "can" (2nd sg. past subj.); gætnir [cɑɪhtnɪr] "careful" (masc. nom. pl.)
sakka [sɑhkɑ] "sinkstone"; sagga [sɑkkɑ] "dampness" (obl. sg.); saka [sɑːkɑ] "to blame"; sakna [sɑhknɑ] "to regret"
vítt [viht] "wide" (neut. sg.); vídd [vitt] "breadth"; bít [piːt] "bite" (1st. sg. pres.)
dökk [tøhk] "dark" (fem. nom. sg.); dögg [tøk] "dew" (nom. sg.); tök [tʰøːk] "grasps" (nom. pl.)

If you have time to record tons of examples, you could record all the ones listed directly above, but since there are so many, I'll just request the sakka, sagga, saka one for now. — Eru·tuon 19:00, 3 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hof (Iceland)

Why did you move it? A locality should be at Hof, Iceland as it was. Or do you mean this is not a locality? Ymblanter (talk) 06:59, 12 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@User:Ymblanter I was not aware that you could distinguish a locality by a comma. I thought they needed to be in brackets. Steinn inn 07:17, 12 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. For future reference, it is in Wikipedia:Naming conventions (geographic names)#Disambiguation. Many other things such as rivers need to be in brackets though. No problem, I will move it back then. Ymblanter (talk) 07:42, 12 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ljósufjöll to Ljósufjöll system

Why move ?. I have reverted as no justification given:
The term "Ljósufjöll system" appears to have been a unique creation by yourself and does not seem to be used in the English language.
The Icelandic name appears to have minimal ambiguity (jöll implies hill/mountain) and the geographical and geological literature use is consistent. Names by default should be the common name in use in majority of English speakers. Calling something a system is meaningless when its a volcano or volcanic system. Such may be in brackets.
I understand it is usual with an established name to usually suggest a move in the page talk page and wait a week for comments unless say disambiguation or spelling issue. ChaseKiwi (talk) 01:43, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@ChaseKiwi: Thank you for your message. I have added my thoughts to the talk page of Ljósufjöll. Steinn inn 09:53, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
