There have been some discussions of whether senior administrators should have suppressed the verifiable, neutrally written coverage of the kidnapping of David Rohde. As part of that discussion I brought up the Jeffrey Norwitz article. I hope I was careful enough to represent your position fairly.

You will see another contributor found Norwitz addressed the UN in February.

From the Judges There were a few mistakes in last weeks' newsletter. Apologies about that. In regards to the competition, a few of you shot up in points this week. Very, very impressive. However, now that some have shot up to the top, others of you have to work even harder to catch up! There are about 3 weeks left in the round, so if you're behind, now is really the time to start nominating content, so that it can count for this round. If you wait too long, we won't be able to hold off the round while your content is being reviewed. Per this tiny poll, the remainder of the competition has been altered.. sorry!! The changes being made are as follows: "We will be combining the last three rounds. Round 4 will now last from August through September, with 8 contestants. On September 1st, however, we will eliminate the bottom four contestants. The top four contestants will continue the round with the same score. Then, one person will win out of the remaining four on September 30th." You can also see this change to the main WikiCup page. Lastly, we'd like to welcome back Shoemaker's Holiday into the competition!

I saw your comment for the Hungarian flag adjustment for the 1938 ICF Canoe Sprint World Championships though the edit itself was changing the image of the Nazi Germany flag from image to file.

That was my mistake. What happened was that I was looking to do two things. The main goal was to swap the Hungarian flag images because someone fooled around on the Commons. Secondary, I was changing Image: to File: ONLY if I made a change of flag images. With that article, I pressed save and, turns out, the flag image was not switched (it had to be changed by template). This was an oversight, so you are welcome to change it back if you want.

The article President of Belarus, for which you seem to be primarily responsible, is undergoing a review as part of the good article sweeps project.

I suggested the image be put in the "Digital Television" section, among other things, but all J Milburn wants is it deleted. Typical copyright paranoia. So, I did what he refused and put it there myself. The image is not in violation of NFCC, regardless of what Milburn says.

What I am personally telling how is how, in my view, the image could work for the article and will follow NFCC. The only thing I can suggest is to just a subsection about this channel and use the logo there. If the only mention of the subchannel is just a link in a box, I do not believe that will cut it.

NeutralHomer, it's interesting that you were so keen for the conversation to remain in one place before yet are happy to slope off to talk to someone else now. The non-free content criteria have consensus, and I wish you'd just accept that. I don't need to have some badge giving me explicit permission to remove certain images- I do not need a new "consensus" each time I see an image in violation of policy.

It has been brought to my attention that digital subchannels now have to have their own page and not have their logo in the parent station article. My understanding is if there is a logo for a subchannel, then it must have a separate page. However, unlike CW, FOX, and My TV subchannels, ones created for This TV and RTV may not have much info except a small template (as seen in CW, FOX, and My TV subchannels) that could be added and technical info.

Looks like your "put the secondary image in a subsection" idea isn't sitting well with J Milburn. He continues to edit war on both WTOV-TV and now WGBC to remove images that have been moved to subsections. Now he is wanting a picture discribed in words....I have no response to that cause it is just silly.

J Milburn has taken this upon himself and is edit warring to keep them off the page. I have issued a 3RR warning. A block for Milburn may be needed because he keeps getting right up to 3RR and then stops.

I am not saying you should and I am not saying he will....it just upsets me that he hides behind all the policies when it comes to images but when he wants one gone he will get to or go over 3RR to make it gone. It strikes me as hypocritical and just silly when one wants an image to be deleted even if it will be reuploaded later on and has no policy to back it up.

Thanks for uploading File:RTV9 Retro Television.png. 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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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).

I saw that you deleted the article WebChat Broadcasting System for copyvio from document. The document was posted, as you noted, in January of 2009, but you stated "the article didn't come until months later". This is not true. The WebChat Broadcasting System article was created several years ago, and the page you cite the copyvio coming from was created from the Wikipedia article. As an admin you should be able (from what I understand) to still look at the article's history. If you check the state of the WebChat Broadcasting System Wikipedia article on or just before January 8, 2009 you should be able to discern that the Wikipedia article preceded the alleged copyvio document. The alleged copyvio document even has the '[citation needed]' tag from the Wikipedia article in it.

I realize the WebChat Broadcasting System was being discussed for deletion and was relisted to allow more time to reach a consensus, but removing the article for a copyvio that didn't exist is not right. What shall be done about this?

So far, everything is sticking. The main reason why I felt having Tenet in those articles is odd is that he was personally born in New York, along with his twin brother. I don't know where in Albania his father is from and the books I found only give the basic region for his mother. The other main reason I used the old book is to give me an idea on not only what is known and because it could be viewed for free, since it is in the public domain. But thanks for the response and I do hope to work with you further.

I believe this is simple (from my side), for example if I was born in America and my mother was is from, Belarus, am I not considered half Belarusian?. I'm one of these guys, right? Considered to my philosophy, even if Tened's father was from there, he is still half Greek (and half Himariot).

I know that some patriarchical societies consider as origin only the father's side, however I see wiki takes into account both sides (at least persons lived in modern age).

Thanks. I can see that piece of text made it untouched until the end. The text is a quote from a staff member of the developer of the property (EPD). I think it would be OK to restore the article, attribute the quoted paragraph, and then copy-edit the article, except ....

.... the history section looks like it may have come from here; the website (Waymarking.com says nothing) dates back to at least 2005, but it appears to be user contributed, so who knows which came first.

People were adding all sort of Serb and UN flags to the article, so I wanted to separate the three areas apart. The article on the anthem is Europe (Anthem of the Republic of Kosovo), so it is not like something new is being done. Flag of Kosovo is a disambig page, so it either shows the RoK flag, UN flag or Serb flag.

As I mentioned, the Arkon image was not my deletion, so that you will need to see another admin for it. The ASU interlock, with the sun pattern in the middle, I feel it is not PD simple. The A and S interlocking, I am on the fence with that one. There are interlocking logos like that we have on here, like the New York Yankees, but that specific logo is very old, like the Coke logo, and achieved public domain status due to age.

Oops. Sorry about the Akron image. I'll talk to the deleter about that one. Ummmm, perhaps I'm missing something, but you appear to be the deleter of that image. ???

You seem to have a fundamental misconception here. The NYY and Coke logos didn't achieve PD status because of their age, but because of their construction they were never eligible for copyright protection in the first place. The same goes for the Texas Tech logo (see above). However, I agree that it is a moot point in that it would fall under PD in either case and the logo is clearly PD. — BQZip01 — ^talk 18:46, 21 September 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-09-21T18:46:00.000Z","author":"BQZip01","type":"comment","level":5,"id":"c-BQZip01-2009-09-21T18:46:00.000Z-Zscout370-2009-09-21T17:46:00.000Z","replies":["c-Zscout370-2009-09-21T18:54:00.000Z-BQZip01-2009-09-21T18:46:00.000Z"],"displayName":"\u2014\u00a0BQZip01\u00a0\u2014"}}-->

The way I work is I first check images against standards that are very hard to wiggle around, in this case time. So if the image qualifies for PD due to age, I mark it as PD-age then move on to the next one. That is how I feel about the Coke and NYY logos; they qualify for time rather than anything else. I know simple designs are public domain, but I think what you think is simple and what I think is simple is completely different, as Hammersoft pointed out. I'll still look at the ASU logos, but I think if anyone will be restored, it will be the one with just the interlocking A and S.

As long as we're talking about the same image, I think the one with the sun has valid reason to be deleted, but not the one with the interlocking letters. There are dozens of comparable PD logos (including the Texas Tech one) where letters overlap/interlock: in short, it's just text (letters whose fundamental function and purpose is to be letters) and therefore it is PD.

I agree that the image you mentioned is PD no matter what, but it makes it hard to show examples if they are not usable and we label them for the wrong reasons. — BQZip01 — ^talk 19:00, 21 September 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-09-21T19:00:00.000Z","author":"BQZip01","type":"comment","level":8,"id":"c-BQZip01-2009-09-21T19:00:00.000Z-Zscout370-2009-09-21T18:56:00.000Z","replies":["c-Zscout370-2009-09-21T20:11:00.000Z-BQZip01-2009-09-21T19:00:00.000Z"],"displayName":"\u2014\u00a0BQZip01\u00a0\u2014"}}-->

The main problem me and BQZ are having is exactly at what line can we draw for what a logo is considered simple or not. If you happen to know cases, other than the Skyy Vodka, that debated about what is simple and what is not, that would be of the most help. As for the userboxes, I would go ahead and add the logos back in that were mentioned to be free (but they could be removed again, but I promise you that no one is going to be punished/blocked/whatever for it).

ZScout, I've created a copyright/trademark primer here. I'm opening it up for public comments in the hope we can put this, or something similar, on wikipedia as a policy in the future.

ZScout:

I've looked into the area of copyrightability of interlocking-letter college logos. Here's as much as I've found out:

There appear to be no unreported copyright tribunal decisions on interlocking-letter logos, or any decisions denying copyright to colleges or universities generally. There are no comprehensive public research tools on this, but I've spoken with counsel for the Collegiate Licensing Corporation, who is unaware of any such decisions. Almost certainly, that means there is no such precedent.

I've uncovered a few other public decisions of interest:

• Eltra Corp. v. Ringer, 579 F.2d 294 (4th Cir. 1978). This denied copyright protection to an alphabet typeface font design (not a specific logo). The specific look of the font is not availabel in the public reporter, but whqtever the specific look of the font, the princople would be the same.
• Muller v. New York Arrows Soccer Team, Inc., 802 F.2d 989 (8th Cir. 1986). This denied copyright protection to the following soccer team logo. It stands for the proposition that a script verison of a team name is not copyrightable, although this logo was pretty simplisitc.
• Magic Marketing Inc. v. Mailing Services of Pittsburg, Inc., 634 F.Supp. 769 (W.D. Pa. 1986). This denied copyright to an envelope typeface design for a series of standard mailing-label phrases. the specific design in not contained in the public reprter version, though, and
• ETS-Hokin v. Skyy Spirits, Inc., 225 F.3d 1068 (9th Cir. 2000). This denied copyright to the Skyy Vodka logo, which has a particular stylistic design unique to the copyright application, but is substantially similar to this.

All these cases involve interpretation of 37 C.F.R. §202.10(b) (although this section does not say much other than trademark rights do not automatically confer a copyright):

A claim to copyright cannot be registered in a print or label consisting solely of trademark subject matter and lacking copyrightable matter. While the Copyright Office will not investigate whether the matter has been or can be registered at the Patent and Trademark Office, it will register a properly filed copyright claim in a print or label that contains the requisite qualifications for copyright even though there is a trademark on it. However, registration of a claim to copyright does not give the claimant rights available by trademark registrations at the Patent and Trademark Office.

I've got antoher treatise section for you to look at if you're interested, but it basically contains the above information.

There is one Trademark Trial and Appeal Board case – University of Southern California v. The University of South Carolina, Opposition No. 91125615 (August 1, 2008) [not precedential] – that confirms interlocking logos are subject to trademark protection, but this does not involve copyright issues. A summary of the decision is located here. For wikipedia purposes I do not think this matters much, except for any South Carolina logo we might use in the future.

None of this decisively settles the issue of interlocking letter logos, but all of it is consistent with the position explained my primer here. I'd like to incorporate this primer material into the WP:Image use policy section to eliminate future confusion on userboxes and related issues. Let me know if you think that needs further input or comment.

Anyway, that's as much as I can find. If I locate anything else interesdting I'll let you know, but I think I've pretty much exhausted the research options available.

Bill, you are amazing. This will help us a lot when it comes to making logo decisions. From the administrative side of things, we tag a lot of images when it comes to trademark; however we do let users use trademarked images without any problems.

But how is it G10? I don't see how it is either an attack or unsourced. This is an incident that is highly notable and very big in China.

Right, but it has a lot of information that attacked the girl and also many of the sources in the article is dead. Also, the AFD for the article said it was a BLP nightmare.

The article was not "shaming the girl"; it was a retell of the incident. Refer to http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2008-05/23/content_8237906.htm for notability. As for Zhang Ya, the main problem argued there was that WP:BLP1E ("cover the person, not the event"); as a result, I have rewritten it in an entirely different form to represent the incident only in 2008 Sichuan Earthquake online hate speech controversy. The AfD for Zhang Ya by no means crosses over with 2008 Sichuan Earthquake online hate speech controversy, as the arguments, prodominantly WP:BLP do not apply, as it is not a WP:BIO. The page was not "recreated", it was reworded (if you actually read the body text, it is different to that of the earlier Zhang Ya article), limited to information which was WP:V, and had its title changed to something which was more suitable, non-WP:BIO, and thus is non-inflammatory in any way. I think you have misinterpreted the earlier AfD for Zhang Ya so that it applied to this article, when it clearly doesn't. And also, rather than deleting the redirect, have you ever considered that it could always be redirected to Internet vigilantism, as done earlier? I mean; how am I supposed to rescavange the Wiki code for the former article now that the history is gone, so that I could improve what is faulty (as I have attempted before), by finding more sources, POV-fixing, etc? -- 李博杰  | —Talk contribs email 07:20, 27 October 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-10-27T07:20:00.000Z","author":"Benlisquare","type":"comment","level":5,"id":"c-Benlisquare-2009-10-27T07:20:00.000Z-Zscout370-2009-10-27T06:52:00.000Z","replies":[],"displayName":"\u674e\u535a\u6770"}}-->

Hi Zscout370. I have undone your G10 deletion of Craig Larner. While a fair number of the versions of this article were actual G10 material, the version you deleted seems to be fairly neutral. It may be deleted through the prod of course (no objection to that), but I don't beleiev that it qualified for G10. Could it be that you had looked at an older version accidentally when deciding to speedy it? Anyway, if I missed something and it really should be gone as a G10, feel free to redelete it, I won't object.

The version I saw and when I deleted, it had a lot of attacks on the guy (mostly about his sexuality and the quality of his band).

Yes, but that was a vandalised version, not the original or final one (and not actually the one you deleted, since the vandalism had been reverted by the time of your delete). Hmm, perhaps I should report this at WP:NEWT? (just kidding, I don't think any regular speedy deleter hasn't made this mistake).

Well, the main question I have is the offending vandalism still deleted or was it restored? As long as the vandalism is gone from the history, I will be glad. Anyways, about NEWT; if I can chide a user for speedying articles, I should be able to face the criticism that comes from it. Shoot, my sig says "Return Fire"; it is there for a reason.

It was a Wikimedia namespace change earlier this year. I also used a typo fixer and also other changes in autowikibrowser, so it was not like it was the only edit I did. There is no policy against using Image, and if you want to revert me, that is cool, but the namespace changed to File:.

There is no reason to do it as the software supports both. There are certainly much more productive things to do with your time since this is a basically pointless change.

That's all I could find, too, and it clearly has nothing to do with policy. I was just concerned that—in essence—you're wasting your time making this specific change when the software already supports both (and people will likely continue using both, at least for a while). My comments were not meant as an attack or to be taken as derisive in any manner. Rather, I was just concerned that you were using your time (valuable time, I'm assuming, as most people value their time) doing something unnecessary.

It may be worth it to see if a regular bot can do it. It's a pretty-straight-forward substitution, and a bot could even keep on top of it better, I think, with any new ones that come up.

Do you have laws, case law, or commonly observed off-wiki conventions on what constitutes a "simple" design vs. a copyrightable "not so simple" one? Also, it would be helpful although probably not necessary to provide one example of the Episcopal shield and flag being published prior to 1977 without a copyright notice. Are you aware of any specific examples? I think these would be helpful because unlike the term "simple," there isn't much room for interpretation if it was widely published without the necessary ©/(c)/copyright wording. I ask because at first glance a design with at least 4 unique elements, at least 12 total elements, and where 1 of those unique elements is itself consists of 3 unique and 10 total elements is approaching if not into the realm of "not simple." davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 07:06, 5 December 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-12-05T07:06:00.000Z","author":"Davidwr","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Davidwr-2009-12-05T07:06:00.000Z-Simplicity_of_design","replies":["c-Zscout370-2009-12-05T15:02:00.000Z-Davidwr-2009-12-05T07:06:00.000Z"]}}-->

In an attempt to move things to closure--which I do appreciate--you deleted two images identifying them with F8 as the reason. But as it happens, your own deletions were contrary to what F8 explicitly says. Note carefully:

• The Commons version is in the same file format and is of the same or higher quality/resolution.

One of the images you deleted was a gif, but the Commons image is an svg.

• The image's license and source status is beyond reasonable doubt, and the license is undoubtedly accepted at Commons.

As you know, the license is not beyond reasonable doubt. Now, while I would be delighted to see your image at the Commons remain as the only one, and be done with this mess, what happens if Commons deletes it? You yourself just deleted two images in violation of F8; other admins have likewise failed to apply the speedy deletion criteria correctly--even when they are as plain and explicit and easy to apply as F8.

What do you think "the same format" means in F8? In what way is a gif and an svg even remotely close to the same file format? How does the statement that you do it all the time make it better?

Criteria F1 and F8 are designed to work together, and it is improper to apply them as you did. The permission to delete in favor of a better image is granted by F1, and only for images both on Wikipedia. F8, which applies between the two, only allows speedy deletion of the image if it is the same format, free of any copyright discussion, etc. The difference is important. If you want F8 changed, then propose a change, but it is an irresponsible abuse of admin tools to take it upon yourself to override the community's clear consensus in the difference between F1 and F8. You should instead have allowed the community to decide whether to delete the image, rather than dictate the result by your own fiat. I ask you to revise your manner of proceeding in such cases and make a clear statement that you acknowledge your failure to abide by the CSD procedures, and that you will endeavor to do so in the future.

Hi, I have added some comments of my own on the GA talk page. I think this article is far from GA status and is giving what appears to me a Scottish Nationalist POV.

Hello User:Zscout370. On the basis of accusations/comments made by SatDen, (some valid, others not IMHO), I've made changes at Flag of Scotland. If you're happy to have another look at it I'd appreciate it very much, though I'd fully understand if you'd prefer to turn your attention elsewhere for the time being, in which case I'll take it back to WP:GAN.

Hi. I think I've done about as much tweaking of the article as I can do without just picking at it just for the sake of it. Would you mind having a last look before I throw it back in for WP:GAN?

I should say as well that I'm pleased with the copy of the shield and flag which you created, which are attractive and functional, and if they stay, will be excellent. Thank you for creating them.

You see, that's where Tb has an issue: I am not convinced these qualify for PD-simple, as they aren't "simple." While I am not going to make a big issue of it, Tb is concerned that in a month or a year or in 5 years someone will and the images will be deleted.

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Majulah Singapura Phoon Yew Tien 20 November 2000.ogg.

Please go to the file 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 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box.

The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needed to be addressed.

Flag of Singapore would be a great Main Page FA on 9 August! That was why we spent months making the article our 4th FA. Meanwhile, our independence (as detailed in Singapore in Malaysia) could be featured in OTD, while each of the four DYK updates would have a Singapore-related article (I could work on most of the DYKs). --J.L.W.S.

Hi there! It seems the reports you added to WP:RFCN aren't appropriate for that page... I recommend you take a second look at the instructions at the top of the page before you add any more. Particularly make sure the user has continued to edit since the issue has been raised on their talk page. This ensures they have a chance to respond one-on-one before the larger community is drawn into the discussion; also we consider any username issue not a problem if the user has stopped editing. Keep in mind that WP:UAA is a significantly different process from WP:RFCN and the reports at the former are rarely transferable to the latter.

Hi there,

it's been a while since I edited Wikipedia. You left a message on my user page to the effect that you could restore some images from the Castlemaine page that had been deleted because of their uncertain copyright status.

Ornamentation isn't copyrightable. It isn't PD due to being "simple", but to being "textual". Even if it is, it doesn't mean it doesn't have a fair use.

The only people who deleted and restored this image was me because I had a period of self doubt. However, from judging by the age of the logo (in the 2000's, so copyright is automatic) and while it does have the letters FAU, the letters were designed in a way that is not very simple.

I've been following the FAC for the Vimy Memorial, and I commented here about two of the images. Is that helpful or are you looking for stuff other than that. If that is helpful, I will try and dig up stuff for the other images as well (though some of those questions are best answered by the uploader, who is also the nominator of the article).

Thanks, I might have misunderstood what was going on in the FAC - when you wrote "Support images look good" I assumed you were doing an image review (checking licenses and the like), so that is why I asked you to review the new image. It now occurs to me that you might have just been saying that you liked the images, without doing a technical review of them specifically. If it was an image review, would you mind saying the new image is OK on the FAC page too? If it was not, sorry for the mixup (but glad you think the image looks fine in any case).

I don't doubt what you're saying is true, Zscout, but the image page needs evidence of it. The Japan PD tag that was there said it applied to text, not images. We need something showing that this image was created in 1954 (a page with an image of it, or the name of it), a translation so that people can understand what it says, and some evidence that images and text are PD after 50 years. I'm sorry to be a pain, but the FA image criteria are that the image policies must be strictly adhered to. It's possible that the delegates will take a less strict view than me -- this is one of my first image reviews and I'm still finding my feet. Here is something you might want to read about the requirements for images for FAC.

I know you are doing your job. Anyways, the Commons has a template called {{PD-Japan-organization}}. It states "This image is now in the public domain because the copyrights of the works in names of organizations in Japan expire in 50 years after the publication, or in 50 years after the creation if the works are not published within 50 years after the creation (article 53)." The organization in question is the Japan Defense Agency (now the Ministry of Defense). And, if my math is correct, 1954+50 is 2004.

Yes, I am the one that FARCed your article. Finally, I achieved my objective: I am glad to see that you have steadily increased the article and made it better. Feel free to use information and the timeline I made in the Spanish version. When it is a FA again in English I will translate it! I'll give a few advices:

• In Regulations it would be grat to cite the article of the Law it refers, since that paragraph is uncited in some points. (check the Spanish version)
• Improve the music section, by describing the score in musical terms. Like it is written in 4/4 (common time) and it follows the pattern AA', one section is played and repeated afterwards. It can be scored for brass bands, symphonic orchestra and chorus, piano and chorus, a capella, etc. It is in C major.

Thanks for your time, your are an expert in these topics! I'm just trying to help. See you!

Not your fault, but as I told Cirt, I was on vacation in Japan and wanted to avoid using Wikipedia during that vacation. The anthem regulations are at http://www.gov.ru/main/symbols/gsrf4_1.html and all of the information there is in this regulation. I felt that having a citation after every sentence was odd if this one law covers everything. I can mention about the sheet music. However, do you want me to have it something like Law_Regarding_the_National_Flag_and_National_Anthem_(Japan)#Provisions_about_the_anthem?

Hi Zscout, First I want to thank you for creating the ECUSA shield. It is, IMHO, a rendering superior to that which the Church uses officially. Nice work. Secondly, it would be great to clear up the copyright/license issue once and for all, et in saecula saeculorum. Amen. I have a suggestion to do just that.

The way I see it, the file currently has the wrong copyright tags. The work (a visual depiction of the blazon Argent, a cross gules, on a canton azure nine cross-crosslets argent in saltire) is entirely yours, you created an original rendering of that heraldic description, making you the exclusive copyright holder of that work.

You have, as the copyright holder, licensed it under CC-BY-SA and GFDL; so far, so good. The problem is with the copyright tags. The {{PD-shape}} tag is debatable (and unnecessary), and the {{PD-US-no notice}} is incorrect; the work was not published in the United States between 1923 and 1977, it was published in December of 2009 by you, the creator and sole copyright owner.

You could legitimately just tag it {{PD-self}}, but ignorant admins will continue the cycle of deletion, wrongly claiming that it is a copy of a copyrighted image. My suggestion is as follows:

1. Adjust the description to read: This work is a visual representation of the blazon Argent, a cross gules, on a canton azure nine cross-crosslets argent in saltire in a heraldic escutcheon (coat of arms).
2. Leave the CC-BY-SA and GFDL licenses as they are.
3. Remove the {{PD-US-no notice}} and {{PD-shape}} tags.
4. Add {{Coat of Arms}} tag.[6]

The {{Coat of Arms}} tag is the key, in that it explains that the blazon/definition/composition/description is public domain with respect to copyright laws, but that the representation of a coat of arms is an artistic creation, subject as such to copyright; in this case, your copyright.

I hope this all makes sense, it would be great to shut down the deletion merry-go-round once and for all. I remember the same crap going on 4-5 years ago when I was first active on WP. I noticed in the semi-current discussion that Tb had been quite active, I've left a note for him pointing here; I hope you don't mind. Thanks for your time, and thanks again for creating the shield.

I been around for many years; I have seen people ask for donations for their edits, for their work on bots, among other things. Different other language projects have reward schemes that came way before ours. I just find it odd that you disliked how I am trying to clear the backlog for GAN, then start prodding everything.

OK. two separate issues. I understand your points about soliciting money for your editing work. I don't particularly agree with it, but as you say, there is no specific prohibition of this. With regards to the GAN reviews, as I understand it, it is customary to to actually provide a review rather than just passing the article and I also have serious concerns about the referencing as there seems to be a distinct lack of reliable sources.

Please accept that I am acting in good faith. I have real concerns about the reviews cited above. I happened to look at your user page after I had posted about the reviews. I was, as I said above, surprised to see that your were soliciting donations for your work here. I note the WP:REWARD page, and would add that I don't particularly agree with the idea of it on tis collaborative project. However it exists, so I consider my query about the appropraiteness of such solicitations answered. I am not trying to stalk you or anything like that, just raising genuine concerns.

Hi Zscout370, thanks for undertaking the cleanup work for this flag. I have one request for your current AWB run: please change all instances of {{flagicon|West Indies}} and {{flagicon|West Indies}} to {{noflag}} (with the closing brace of that template call immediately adjacent to the following text). The instances of {{cr}} do not need to be changed, just flagicon. The reason is that flagicon will render the transparent placeholder space, but you could actually click on it to get to the West Indies Cricket Board article!

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:West Indies Cricket Board Flag.svg. I notice the file page specifies that the file 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 file 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 'file' 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 "File" 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.

Zach, there's one last image that SchoolcraftT had posted up at Commons:File:Mollohan Mill.jpg. I had previously added this version because of a spelling error in the original SchoolcraftT had uploaded to commons.

The file was transferred to Commons over my explicit objections in the first place; additionally, the Commons version does not meet the requirements of the CC-BY licence the image is under as it is not correctly attributed. ⇦REDVERS⇨ 15:30, 2 February 2010 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2010-02-02T15:30:00.000Z","author":"Redvers","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Redvers-2010-02-02T15:30:00.000Z-MGA73-2010-02-02T14:54:00.000Z","replies":["c-MGA73-2010-02-02T15:57:00.000Z-Redvers-2010-02-02T15:30:00.000Z"]}}-->

Once files are uploaded to a Wikimedia project under a valid license then the community has the right to place the images where they fit in best. On Commons the file is available to wikipedias in other languages so therefore the best place is Commons.

As for attribution it is a little "strange" because the information is a mix of the info from enwiki and the image from Flickr ({{cc-by-2.0}}). We only need the file in highest possible resolution so unless you as author wants to release the higher version in {{cc-by-3.0}} the license should be changes to 2.0 and links should be made to Flickr (the source).

Feel free to change license as you prefer. --MGA73 (talk) 15:57, 2 February 2010 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2010-02-02T15:57:00.000Z","author":"MGA73","type":"comment","level":4,"id":"c-MGA73-2010-02-02T15:57:00.000Z-Redvers-2010-02-02T15:30:00.000Z","replies":["c-Redvers-2010-02-02T16:50:00.000Z-MGA73-2010-02-02T15:57:00.000Z"]}}-->

It's not my job to correct Commons errors. At the moment, the image does not provide the attribution required, although the local copy did. Therefore, Commons is breaking the terms of the licence under which the image was released. What they do is up to them, but on Wikipedia the image was correct and was tagged to not be deleted. I note that starting this conversation with you led you to point your bot at my image uploads. Please butt out of this conversation, which is between me and Zscout, especially when you don't appear to know what you're talking about when it comes to attribution. ⇦REDVERS⇨ 16:50, 2 February 2010 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2010-02-02T16:50:00.000Z","author":"Redvers","type":"comment","level":5,"id":"c-Redvers-2010-02-02T16:50:00.000Z-MGA73-2010-02-02T15:57:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->

He's involved Redvers. Anyways, I checked the English page and it indeeds have more information than the Commona page. I transfered everything to the Commons.

He is now, via WP:POINT. Moving on, state your concern about that diff. It's simply the diff I gave earlier as being the point where I placed the {{nocommons}} tag (which you, I still believe accidentally, didn't see). Because you accidentally missed the nocommons tag, you will of course restore the local copy - in whichever version - to rectify the mistake. And the Commons version is still not correct in the attribution (although thanks for trying). My flickr uploads are very clear that there's a requirement for how to attribute and Commons simply won't do this, meaning that all images uploaded to Commons (without first going through Wikipedia) are in breach of the Creative Commons licence they're under. Commons doesn't care, because that's how Commons is - a nest of such violations. Wikipedia does. Or, at least, this Wikipedia admin does. ⇦REDVERS⇨ 19:50, 2 February 2010 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2010-02-02T19:50:00.000Z","author":"Redvers","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Redvers-2010-02-02T19:50:00.000Z-Zscout370-2010-02-02T17:13:00.000Z","replies":["c-MGA73-2010-02-02T22:02:00.000Z-Redvers-2010-02-02T19:50:00.000Z"]}}-->

Wikipedia is not your personal photo album. If image is not needed it can be deleted. You can not prevent deletion by adding a template. Also you can not prevent an article from being edited by adding some "Do not edit my article". I hope you agree on that.

Mistakes happen and I asked you nice if you would prefer to be attributed as en-wiki user or Flickr user. Based on your comments I take it that you prefer that the image on Commons is attributed to your Flickr account. --MGA73 (talk) 22:02, 2 February 2010 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2010-02-02T22:02:00.000Z","author":"MGA73","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-MGA73-2010-02-02T22:02:00.000Z-Redvers-2010-02-02T19:50:00.000Z","replies":["c-Zscout370-2010-02-03T04:21:00.000Z-MGA73-2010-02-02T22:02:00.000Z"]}}-->

I am looking at the Flickr page right now, ok.

I claim fair use in images if they're on the Commons but aren't clearly PD. There are lots of images on the Commons that aren't clearly licensed or PD, and others where they're free in their country of origin, but not in the U.S. (or not clearly so). In those circumstances, esp if I'm nominating something for the FAC process, I have to make sure the image is right for Wikipedia, regardless of what the Commons is doing.

Well, I did nominate one of your fair use images for deletion at the Commons. I nomimnated Commons:Deletion requests/File:Refugees from Lydda.jpg.

As a matter of interest, how do you know that wasn't PD before 1996? I'm very confused about these old Israeli images; some people say they're PD in Israel and the U.S. Others say not in the U.S..

Hi, Zach. User:SchoolcraftT has been reuploading a number of the images that you had previously deleted on Wikimedia Commons for copyright concerns, plus some other similar ones as well.

I see you instantly archived my complaint about your out-of-process deletions and never restored the images. When are you going to do this? I checked your logs and didn't see any obvious deletion sprees like this in the past, but can you confirm this was a one-time-only thing?

That's not true... They were tagged {{PD}}, which is deprecated, but which is not the same as a lack of license. And even if they lacked a source and no license you would still be required to notify the uploaders to give them a chance to supply one.

I have been blocked with an expiry time of infinite (account creation disabled) on Wikipedia Commons by you. For uploading files without source/licensing after warnings. I did not get any warning from you that I was about to be blocked, did not get any change to responed to my block. So here it goes: File:3D animated flag Ukraine.gif was not a violation of copyright since I made it myself and realeased it under a free licence on wikipedia commons. I never deserved to get banned and I would apriaciate if you would lift my ban and restore my handmade File:3D animated flag Ukraine.gif, if not I'll try to get myself unblocked another way, not sure how cause unlike on this wikipedia I got no information on how to apeal to my ban... I assume you made your error in good faith. I only uploaded my file under the same name of an earlier deleted file because that way editors who had used the (flag)file on there pages would automaticly get the "flag" back on there pages. — Mariah-Yulia • Talk to me! 18:45, 25 February 2010 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2010-02-25T18:45:00.000Z","author":"Mariah-Yulia","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Mariah-Yulia-2010-02-25T18:45:00.000Z-My_ban_from_wikipedia_Commons","replies":["c-Zscout370-2010-02-25T19:22:00.000Z-Mariah-Yulia-2010-02-25T18:45:00.000Z"]}}-->

Alright, the first image said it came from http://3dflags.com/world/ukrainian/national_flag/classic_waving_clip_art.html.

The second image came from http://www.clipartdb.com/gif-ukraine-flags-3dclipart-862.htm but now I just noticed that it is also from the 3D flags site. It was deleted by a DR. The third image came from http://www.atlasgeo.net/flags/anglais/html/Eukraine.htm so it was a blatant copyvio.

Hello. Could you please explain the changes you made to the flag of Belgium on Commons? I don't understand what you've said (or done), but it seems to me that the version I put up is as close to official as possible.

Yes. While I did make email changes with the Belgium government, I found some very, very glaring issues. For example, you cannot give CMYK a half value, it can either be 8 or be 9. A lot of the programs that work with CMYK, such as Inkscape, cannot do that and also changes the CMYK values automatically. The second glaring issue is that, according to Pantone, there is no such thing as Pantone 02. However, I do remember that some flags like Luxembourg, Canada and Singapore uses a Pantone shade called Pantone 032, so I picked that. I used http://www.pantone.com/pages/pantone/colorfinder.aspx to get the Pantone shades.

Greetings, thanks for updating File:JAL logo.svg to a new resolution based on this PDF: http://www.jal.com/ja/ir/shareholder/tsushin/backnb/soukan0211.pdf. However, the new logo seems to have lost the silver gradient that is found on the 'arc' element of the logo. It now appears as a flat dark gray. The very PDF logo (on page 2) still has that gradient, as is the case on most JAL websites and aircraft. The JAL main site logo description also notes the official colors as red, silver, and black: http://www.jal.com/en/jals_brand/ Can the new logo be updated to reflect that? I realize this is a bit of a detail issue, but thanks for any help in this regard.
