July songs

my story today

On today's Main page, you can find a cantata that Bach first performed 300 years ago (thanks to you!), and an iconic saxophonist from East Germany. Also: a bit about the history of QAI on my talk. Thank you for being part of it! A new member designed a user box that I adopted. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:05, 18 July 2023 (UTC)

While today's DYK highlights Santiago on his day, I did my modest share with my story today, describing what I just experienced, pictured. I began the article of the woman in green. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:02, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

Good moring from Campora San Giovanni, Calabria, I am writing to say hello and know how you are. In addition to this, to ask you for a small courtesy. Would you like to fix the page and make it a bit more encyclopaedic? I tried to create it, it seemed right that the actress too should have her "place in the sun", using an Italian expression. In any case, if I can do something for you, please ask, waiting to hear from you, I thank you in advance. Luigi Salvatore Vadacchino (talk) 06:07, 25 August 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Logo of Allan Cup Hockey West.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:22, 10 September 2023 (UTC)

Re your edits to the MV Missourian (1921) article. Dominion of Canada's link has recently been changed, which I was unaware of. On creation, and until recently, it linked to Canada. I think this should be discussed at talk:Dominion of Canada. What do you think? Mjroots (talk) 06:17, 20 September 2023 (UTC)

It has been debated already. I think there is a link at Talk:Canada in the last few days to the discussion. I really don't feel we should differentiate from the practice of the other states listed in the article. It's United States, not United States of America. It's United Kingdom, not United Kingdom of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. I don't want to get into the debate. I think it is settled. Dominion of Canada was the common name. It was discontinued without legislation or anything. You don't see people using 'Commonwealth of Australia', so it seems incorrect to single out Canada differently. And it is the same country, legally. Alaney2k (talk) 06:23, 20 September 2023 (UTC)

Canada isn't singled out. There's many links to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, also the Union of South Africa, French Indo-China, United Kingdom of the Netherlands, Kingdom of Hanover etc. I believe in using the correct location for the period, thus Constantinople instead of Istanbul, Calcutta instead of Kolkata, Kurrachee insteadt of Karachi.

With the specific article in question is [[Canada|Dominion of Canada]] acceptable to you? Mjroots (talk) 06:40, 20 September 2023 (UTC)

It's wrong. Please don't, it just propagates the debate settled years ago. There is not a good reason to use it. Take the time to read the Name of Canada article. It's defined as a Dominion with the name of Canada. There is no separate legal state from the Canada of today, unlike the Dominion of Newfoundland. There is no way to separate any hypothetical Dominion of Canada period from the current period. Besides, people simply expect Canada. I really doubt people actually used Dominion of Canada in common use for geographic terms anyway. Ever. Maybe on a fancy map? It's arcane to use Dominion of Canada too. I don't think it is encyclopedic to use it and Wikipedia is based on common names anyway. Alaney2k (talk) 06:48, 20 September 2023 (UTC)

There seems to be a lot of history to the term and I see you changed on Lothringen (oil tanker) amongst many, for example, which seems problematic. For a lot of history, that term was used and when you refer to the source, that is what is source says, not Canada, which means that term is being lost, which means the history of its use is being lost. I'm not arguing against the term!=Canada. It obviously doesn't but when your looking at it from the viewpoint of history, then I think there is a problem. For example, everything that the German military wrote in relation to Canada uses that term during WW2 and I suspect most of Europe did, as it was a common term. Also the question of commonality doesn't apply. Your essentially saying that common naming applies, but your doing is shifting the window on what is considered a common term in one period in history to this period. In 40-100, 200 years it will be changed again. So the history is being lost, which is the core function of Wikipedia. scope_creep^Talk 07:42, 20 September 2023 (UTC)

Please stop changing links for now. This obviously needs discussion, which means that the status quo is maintained whilst the issue is being discussed. I've started a WP:RfD discussion about the target of the Dominion of Canada wikilink. Feel free to contribute. Mjroots (talk) 12:08, 20 September 2023 (UTC)

I fail to see what German WW2 records have to do with links to Canada. And there are all sorts of records outside of that timeframe. The current wikilink is wrong. The issue of the Dominion of Canada wikilink was settled 6 years ago. Alaney2k (talk)

Are passages from federal legislation copyright protected? I was unaware of that. I will rewrite. Alaney2k (talk) 18:37, 24 September 2023 (UTC)

Government works are copyright in most countries. Exceptions include the US and the Philippines. — Diannaa (talk) 18:55, 24 September 2023 (UTC)

@Diannaa:, this is what I found: "Federal statutes and regulations and the decisions of courts and tribunals can be copied without the usual restrictions on Crown copyrighted materials. There is no requirement to seek permission and there are no fees." at https://cb-cda.gc.ca/en/copyright-information/acts-and-regulations/copyright-regulations, and "Anyone may, without charge or request for permission, reproduce enactments and consolidations of enactments of the Government of Canada, and decisions and reasons for decisions of federally-constituted courts and administrative tribunals, provided due diligence is exercised in ensuring the accuracy of the materials reproduced and the reproduction is not represented as an official version." at https://laws.justice.gc.ca/eng/regulations/SI-97-5/FullText.html. This seems clear to me. I do not know of anything in WP policy on this topic. There is policy on US government materials, I know that. Alaney2k (talk) 22:46, 24 September 2023 (UTC)

The page where I found the matching content was this one. The page that you cited as your citation was this one. At the bottom of either page, clicking on Terms and condintions I find that the content is "available for personal or public non-commercial use" which is not a compatible license, because our license allows commercial use. Commons:Copyright rules by territory/Canada states that in Canada, government works are protected by copyright for 50 years. The actual copyright law is here, where it says the same thing: fifty years copyright protection on Government works. — Diannaa (talk) 12:58, 25 September 2023 (UTC)

@Diannaa:

Thank you for taking the time to explain it to me. Alaney2k (talk) 18:40, 25 September 2023 (UTC)

Hello. A featured topic nomination was made based on the History of the National Hockey League. In figuring out whether I would support the nomination or not, I noticed there was a split discussion at Talk:History_of_the_National_Hockey_League_(1992–present)#Move_to_1992–2017? and that you had created Draft:History of the National Hockey League (since 2017). It looks like there was support for a split, so I wanted to know if you intend to move the draft to main space.

Hello Alaney2k, I was led to you by your latest edit of the "ACP Rail International" edit on July 27, 2018. I would like to request that you write an article for another company called AccesRail. It is a company that provides consumers access to booking plane, train and bus tickets all in one website.

I attempted writing it myself, but I am not that experienced and also considered as paid editor since I work for a company that works for AccesRail, which most Wikipedia people seem to frown upon. There are plenty of articles in the Internet about AccesRail but most seem to lack notability, not sure if it is because I am the one presenting it.

We were hoping a experienced Editor like you would have a better chance at accomplishing this since it seems to be within your field of interest (Travel) as well. LFTSOS (talk) 07:40, 8 October 2024 (UTC)
