[edit] Left-wing politics
I had to roll back your edit at Left-wing politics because you had inserted a copy of the article into itself. If you also made a substantive edit, I couldn't find it and have inadvertantly reverted it, so you might want to revisit that article. -- Jmabel | Talk 18:27, Jan 30, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Image:Millau Bridge over Tarn River France.jpg
Hi Distantbody,
That's a nice picture of the Millau Viaduct. Can you be sure to add an appropriate copyright tag and any source information that you have. Thanks. -- Solipsist 12:26, 6 May 2005 (UTC)
- i have added file info as your request. We all get a bit lazy now and then dont we ;)

- Adding the tag does not make it usable in WP. You need to cite the source's permission to use the image. Use of the fair use tag may be more limited than you think. Note that you did not properly reference the source, which was not the blogspot - that only referenced the original which is in a library deeply embeded within the site (http://www.athenaamerica.com/) and for which I have not been able to find a link path to from the home page. You need to contact AthenaAmerica to find out more. For now, I have noted the possible copyright violation (but not tagged it as such). Please follow up on this. Thanks, and best wishes.

[edit] Redundant links
I see you've removed some links to dates in Crew Exploration Vehicle. We link these dates not so much so the date article can be clicked on, but because this allows Wikipedia to display the date according to local preference. Some people find that a date of 'December 9' looks natural, others prefer '9 December'. If we link 9 December and December 9 (look at the wiki code for these to see the difference), you see what your preferences ask for.-gadfium 08:48, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Image Tagging Image:Oceanxx.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Oceanxx.jpg. I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag, so its copyright status is therefore unclear. Please add a tag to let us know its copyright status. (If you created/took the picture then you can use {{gfdl}} to release it under the GFDL. If you can claim fair use use {{fairuse}}.) If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know on the image description page where you got the images and I'll tag them for you. Otherwise, see Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use. Thanks so much. --Secretlondon 16:49, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Image tagging (yet again...)
Hi can you please add the image copyright tag for Image:Yellow OLED.jpg and Image:A good example of the flexability of OLEDs.gif. I've added no source tag to them but I need to know its copyright status because I would like to use one of them. Thanks alot --antilived 06:31, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Image:Hot Dry Rock Diagram.gif
Er, Hi! Just wondered if you had any licensing information for Image:Hot Dry Rock Diagram.gif? Was it a diagram you produced yourself, or did you get it from the web? CharlesC 00:03, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Quasar
Hi Distantbody,
I just wanted to let you know why I removed your theory of the formation of quasars. This theory has yet to see publication in a peer-reviewed document, and since original research is not allowed, I have removed your theory. Please see Talk:Quasar#Reverting supermassive black hole theory for more details. Thanks, Deathphoenix 15:41, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] ITER
i see your point, infomation repeated form other articles is somewhat redundant. however, i never intended to preach the complex workings of a fusion reactor. i feel what i added is a brief summary of that, aimed at users without an in-depth technical understanding of fusion power. please edit away; it is far from perfect, but please dont remove most of what i put.
the reason i added what i did is because before i began, almost all of the article concerned the political impact of the experiment, and very little of what it actually is supposed to do, and how it does it. it is an experiment in physics, not politics.
on another note, i am a bit rubbish with copyrights. could you please help me verify that i have not broken the law in uploading this picture from this site.
thanks, mastodon 20:32, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
- please stop removing the reaction workings from the article, no one is thanking you for it. just because you say it is, doesnt mean it is irrelivant. if two seperate users had not reverted you edits so quickly, i would have done it myself. it is not a full explaination of fusion power, it is a summary for those of us who have not yet memorised wikipedia, which would be oh, ALL of us. i wrote it to try to thin out the politics in the article. thankyou kindly. mastodon 20:13, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

- why not dig your teeth into the Joint European Torus article? its the same thing as ITER, just smaller so receives less press. mastodon 20:15, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Qtv2-SCAnim2.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:Qtv2-SCAnim2.gif. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

[edit] Image:REACTOR2E.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:REACTOR2E.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
- On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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. --– Quadell (talk) (random) 00:29, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
