:That refers to permission for a free license; the page just doesn't clarify it. Fair use? To only be used under the direst of circumstances. The SkyTran image looks easily replaceable – that is, a Wikipedian in the Seattle area could take his/her own picture of it and put it under a free license. If it's at some special event, sure, fair use can be used, but otherwise it will generally be deleted. [[User:Hbdragon88|hbdragon88]] 09:33, 10 November 2007 (UTC) |

I just added a fair use rationale to the picture. A much smaller version of the picture should be uplaoded, but I think we're all set for now. it would be very nice as well if you oculd convince Malewciki to release it under a free license, but, like I said, I think we're good for now.

bird
What exactly are you doing to bird? I realise the page has a lot of refs but I don't see how puting breaks in helps. Could you discuss changes with the formatting of the page on the talk page with the editors who work on this article a lot? And what does an edit summary of rrr mean exactly?

I finally tracked down the origin of this concept (term), it is from German mathematician Carl Neumann (1875). If you know how to make a "d" (with a cross-bar hat going through the handle of the d), please add it to the article. Thanks: --Sadi Carnot 05:32, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

'Don't Destroy' essay
Hi there. I just saw your essay at User talk:Fresheneesz/Don't Destroy, and posted a lengthy comment at User talk:Fresheneesz/Don't Destroy#Highly dubious argument. Please don't take my criticism personally - it's not directed at you, but at the essay, and the inclusionist/deletionist dichotomy I feel it promotes. Feel free to let me know if you have any comments in return. Terraxos 18:29, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free media (Image:CTscan.PNG)
Thanks for uploading Image:CTscan.PNG. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 17:46, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
Fair use rationale for Image:CTscan.PNG
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:CTscan.PNG. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Maxim(talk) (contributions) 20:38, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
Happy Halloween!

License tagging for Image:Wage-labour.png
Thanks for uploading Image:Wage-labour.png. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:
This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. --OrphanBot 23:11, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
Image copyright problem with Image:SkyTran_Seattle2.jpg

Thank you for uploading Image:SkyTran_Seattle2.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Jusjih 02:32, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
MLA Format
I agree, it is retarded as hell. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.146.54.139 (talk) 06:34, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
Speedy deletion of Impactful

A tag has been placed on Impactful, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent. If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox for any other experiments you would like to do. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions about this.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}}
to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Wikipedia-only permission not good enough
Regarindg Image:SkyTran_Seattle2.jpg, permission to use it on Wikipedia is not good enough. Those kinds of images were banned over two years ago. You must get Douglas J. Malewicki to license it under a free license – such as Creative Commons BY or Attributon 1.0, 2.0, 2.5, or 3.0, the GFDL, in the public domain/{{copyrightedfreeuse}}. If he agrees to this, please have him send an email to permission AT wikipedia DOT org with a statement like this: "I, Douglas J. Malewicki, certify that I am the copyright owner of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:SkyTran_Seattle2.jpg and license it under [so-and-so] license. I understand that the image can be used for commerical purposes and have deravatives without my permission or without payment." hbdragon88 08:29, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
