Though this image is subject to copyright, its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

# It's a low resolution copy of a CD/album cover.

----

# It doesn't limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the CD/album in any way, in fact, it may encourage sales.

# Because of the low resolution, copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the album artwork on another CD.

== Congratulations! ==

# The image is itself a subject of discussion in the article or used in the infobox thereof.

Congratulations! It's my pleasure to let you know that, consensus being reached, you are now an [[Wikipedia:Administrators|administrator]]. You should read the relevant policies and other pages linked to from the [[Wikipedia:administrators' reading list|administrators' reading list]] before carrying out tasks like deletion, protection, banning users, and editing protected pages such as the [[Main Page]]. Most of what you do is easily reversible by other sysops, apart from page history merges and image deletion, so please be especially careful with those. You might find the new [[Wikipedia:Administrators' how-to guide|administrators' how-to guide]] helpful. Cheers! -- [[User:Cecropia|Cecropia]] 04:53, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

#Derived from a digital capture (scan/photo) of the album/CD cover (creator of this digital version is irrelevant as the copyright in all equivalent images is still held by the same party). Copyright held by the record company or the artist. Claimed as fair use regardless.

==Jaffa cake==

Thanks for the jaffa cake, and yes; it looks much better than the previous picture. If I were to be pernickety I might suggest it were a little brighter and the oclours made more warm, although perhaps I'm just used to an advertisers view of how they want us to think of their food rather than the less glamorous looking truths.

== black company, Largo, florida ==

Hi,

I'm new to Wikipedia. Do you know of anyone who is an expert on Glen Cook's Black Company?

Would you mind looking at the Largo, Florida page. I've added some things and need direction on improving it.

Is there a way to block a user page against vandalism? Every administrator page I've visited makes mention of vandalism. It's almost like a badge of honor you carry on your sites. I'm much to vain to take that sort of thing good-naturedly.

Thanks

== [[Dan Andros]] ==

(Moved here from my user page)

Dude, why did you delete my article? Some of my fans posted it (Dan Andros). You deleted it because it was 'non notable'. Are you serious? 90% of the articles you started are VERY non notable. I'm willing to wager any amount that I am more well known (my show has 8 million listeners) than the people in most of the articles you started. And who the hell are you to decide what is 'non notable' anyway? What is 'non notable' about one of the personalities on the third biggest radio talk show in the United States of America??? <small>unsigned comment by {{user|71.224.190.212}}</small>

I got your response. So if the next post explains what show and all that sort of information it's good then?

== [[The RipOffs]] ==

Hi, I usually try to avoid relisting if at all possible. AFD is crowded enough as it is. But closing with no consensus to delete means anyone can renominate with impunity if it isn't improved (or if the band hasn't established more notability) in the next three months or so. --[[User:Angr|Angr]] ([[User talk:Angr|t]]·[[Special:Contributions/Angr|c]]) 21:04, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

== Alkhemi and Aladin ==

Hi, back in October05 you participated in the deletion-discussion about a company called Alkhemi ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Alkhemi]), which was subsequently deleted with your vote. Now the same deletion question is posed for another article about the man behind Alkhemi, a magician who calls himself [[Aladin]]. Despite being a truly bad article (extremely biased, outrages claims are made, and the sources used to back up those claims consist largely out of tiny newspaper snippets that are blown up out of proportion to make the subject sound like the second coming of the christ), the vote is so far flooded with "keep" votes, which might be because of dozens of sockpuppets, so I'd like to invite you to add your vote about this matter to tip the balance. The vote is [[Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Aladin|here]]. Thank you :-) [[User:Peter S.|Peter S.]] 21:07, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

==ABBA categories==

Hi there. We haven't 'spoken' before but I notice you have made a lot of edits to ABBA and its related articles, as have I... I think we see eye-to-eye on many aspects of this (i.e. the silliness of the constant Madonna refs, etc!). I don't know if you agree with me, but the current situation regarding the various ABBA categories seems to be in a complete mess. To my mind, the main ABBA category is almost all that is needed, with perhaps a sub category for the songs. I don't see the need to have subcats for members, albums, and silliest of all 'ABBA related' (which surely is what ABBA is for, by definition). The purpose of categories is to quickly and simply group a bunch of related articles together so that a reader may quickly find related topics. Tunnelling down from ABBA->Agnetha->Agnetha albums->the one you want seems pointless to me. I have reverted already a lot of the ABBA related stuff back to ABBA, but in doing so I noticed just what a mess the whole situation was. In contacting you I'm trying to see if I'm alone in thinking this, or if there is a consensus for improvement. If so, we need to get a few others involved to help make any changes and defend them. What do you think? [[User:GRAHAMUK|Graham]] 00:01, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

== About the dashes ==

== project punctuation ==

Hi! Thanks for coming by my user page!

[[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Punctuation]] is the unending attempt to properly punctuate Wikipedia articles. The goal is self-explanatory - to fix common typographic and punctuation errors in articles. I'm surprised an administrator doesn't know about it, but hey - it's a big Wikipedia. I don't think anyone knows everything about the site, except maybe Jimmy Wales. :-)

At any rate, software crawls through a dump (currently from September 2005) and finds articles with missing periods at the end of sentences. Because these errors are difficult for programs to fix, the errors are grouped into files of 50 for we humans to go through; usually if there are missing periods, there are other punctuation errors to fix as well. If you feel I've corrected something in error, feel free to change it back - my feelings won't be hurt.

I'm one of those people who nitpicks just about everything, so I spend much of my time here rotating between fixing [[WP:DPL|disambiguation links]], Project Punctuation, and other maintenance projects. I'm also working (as of last night) on the [[respirator]] article. Someone wrote the original article defining 'respirator' as a machine to assist breathing, when in fact a respirator is what a layperson would call a 'gas mask' - [[ventilator]]s are the machines that assist breathing. Just do a Google search for 'respirator' and you'll see what I mean. I'm an occupational health and critical-care RN who has fitted more than 1,500 respirators and worked with hundreds of ventilator patients, so I couldn't let it pass, especially since this is supposed to be an encyclopedia. So, now I've got another project on which to work - I guess this will be my first article.

Thanks for stopping by - come help us out if you have some time! see ya - [[User:Ddlamb|ddlamb]] 21:37, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

== image deletion ==

Hi CLW

I was just wondering why you deleted a large number of images from [[Badges of the Royal Australian Navy]], was it due to their copyright status or something else. regards [[User:Hossen27|hossens27]] 05:13, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

*thanks for clearing that up, i uploaded the images and i believe their use is allowed (with my limited knowledge of copyright law). Next time i guess i'll add their copyright status.

This is an extract from the copyright section of [http://www.navy.gov.au], the page where i got the pics from.

''This work is copyright. You may download, display, print and reproduce this material in unaltered form only (retaining this notice) for your personal, non-commercial use or use within your organisation. All other rights are reserved.''

This allows their use on wikipedia, i think, am i right in this assumption. Regards [[User:Hossen27|hossens27]] 12:18, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

*Thats cool, ill find out from someone else. But could you please not delete any more of the Royal Australian Navy badges untill i check. It would save me lots of time. Regards [[User:Hossen27|hossens27]] 12:46, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the info. Wouldn't it be easier to make {{tl|no licence}} do whatever {{tl|no source}} does rather than changing the way to add a timestamp?--[[User:Petaholmes|nixie]] 22:18, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

==Image sourcing question==

Hi. I noted your comment on Petaholmes' talk page regarding image sourcing. A couple of weeks ago, this user marked the main image at [[Sheena Easton]] for a non-sourced speedy, even though it clearly stated the copyright and it had a promophoto tag. I never received a response regarding my questioning of it being marked, so I added a few words to the image description and deleted the tag as I'm of the opinion that there's enough info. Could you check the image and see what might possibly be missing? I have dozens of similar images uploaded with the same amount of licence/source info and I don't seem to have had any problems with them. Thanks! [[User:23skidoo|23skidoo]] 22:52, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

* I just happened to have the image on my computer. I know it's a press image because I saw it in magazines and newspapers back in the early 1980s, and the image was also used as the cover of her first album. Otherwise you're asking the impossible. It's copyright EMI and that should be enough as if someone really wants to spend the time looking it up they can find the address of EMI. [[User:23skidoo|23skidoo]] 14:53, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

** Personally, at this point I would support a motion to eliminate images from Wikipedia altogether. Between the continuous tug-of-war over appropriate images for articles such as [[Paul Martin]], to what I consider to be wholly unnecessary paranoia over copyright, I think they're just more trouble than they're worth. And I'm being serious: Wikipedia is constantly suffering from mainframe problems and I bet the bandwidth use would be reduced by 75% if this became a text-only resource. [[User:23skidoo|23skidoo]] 19:18, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

== Bot bug ==

I've deleted [[:Image:Blue Submarine -6 Screenshot.PNG]] as this was tagged unsourced on 5 Jan 2006, but I notice that OrphanBot had changed the tag date incorrectly to '''15''' Jan 200'''5''' as part of its formating process - the date of the image's creation, not the date it was originally tagged as unsourced. I don't know if any other images are affected? (Unless of course I've completely misread the edit history, in which case sorry for disturbing you...) Regards, [[User:CLW|CLW]] 14:34, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

:OrphanBot's functioning as intended (which may or may not be the best way, but that's beside the point). What happened was that OrphanBot loaded the image description page and found a "nosource" tag without a date. Rather than trawling through the edit history to find when it was added (which can be slow, unreliable, and server-intensive), OrphanBot simply uses the most recent image upload date. If you've got a better idea for how to figure out when the tag was added, I'd like to hear it. --[[User:Carnildo|Carnildo]] 18:58, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

I got it from Yale's website, I don't remember the exact link.

hi im new to wikipedia and lots of my stuffs been deleated already anyone got any hints for me?

== Image:CarolynWood.jpg ==

I was confused to see that someone had removed [[Image:CarolynWood.jpg]]. There was an ugly controversy over this image. The contributor who added it added an image of an old movie "Ilsa she-wolf of the S.S.". That second image was soon deleted.

But the Carolyn-Wood image had been used in the CBC documentary [http://www.cbc.ca/fifth/badapples/index.html a few bad apples.] The image was tagged as a screenshot. Screenshots are considered fair use, aren't they? If, when you examined the image, you found it was not properly tagged, is it possible that some vandal removed the tag? This image was tagged a couple of months ago.

So, please clarify for me if you considered the screenshot tag an invalid one, or whether that tag had been removed. -- [[User:Geo Swan|Geo Swan]] 08:49, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
