New pages

Thanks for your work on tagging new pages, please keep it up! Best regards, --Kanonkas(talk) 09:01, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed you voted to keep this image: [1] Unfortunately, however, the image is almost certainly a copy vio. It was copied from this web page: [2] The license is stated at the bottom: 'Copyright © 1996 Dr. Charles S. Finch, III, MD All rights reserved by the author.' If Commons uses it, we are Violating Dr Finch's rights. By the way, user Crucifixion is very infamous for his copy vios. See the messages at the bottom of his talk page: [3] Most of his Commons images are just copy vios sadly. I hope this helps to increase your assessment of the situation.

I think the issue is that the image in question is of a 3,000 year old mosaic. That means the original creator's copyright has long since expired and the artwork itself is in the public domain. Since this image is just a 2D reproduction of that artwork, it cannot gain copyright on its own. Granted, I agree it is highly problematic that he lied about his source, and his other uploads will need investigation and re-sourcing, but I do think we can keep this image, albeit with a proper source link.

Dear MBisanz, I have received a tag and message with the signature of you today that a figure of ours uploaded to Wikimedia were referred by somebody as a copyright violation. Here I am going to uinform you about the detailed backgrounds of the image uploaded: - The image is a part of my collaboration with Prof. Rosalba Bancetti. - A similar, however, not totally identical image is a part of our article: Kőhidai, L., Gál, G., Banchetti, R. Interspecific effect of Er-1 and Er-2 Euplotes pheromones in Tetrahymena. Acta Zool. Sin. 52, 1125-1132 /2007/ (modifications of the figure were done by us) - The image is a part of an article 'Analisi chemiotattica' edited by us (User of Wiki Italian: Kohidai_Banchetti). - The image was uploaded by me (User:Kohlasz21) and both in the origin and author lines our names are given. - I have to underfline that: the image is NOT a scan of a book! - I have to declare that the copyright logo shows only that Prof. Bancetti as an expert of the technique described has some copyrights (the detailed licencing is shown on the Summary table of Wikimedia (If you prefer we can change it to © Banchetti-Kohidai, 2008)

Please let me know what confirmation you need more to make clear that we are the copyright holders of the image.

Replied at [4]. MBisanz talk 08:42, 7 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dear MBisanz, Thanks for your rapid response. You will get an official mail from my office (kohlasz@dgci.sote.hu) tomorrow about the copyright. However, I think it is rather hard to you verify if it is an official one or not (dgci=Dept. Genetics Cell- and Immunobiology). Perhaps our professional working on the Wiki is supported more if you check PubMed for publications of Kohidai or Banchetti or the homepage of my group (www.chemotaxis.usn.hu). After that I hope you will believe that Wiki is not our scientific forum to "publish", but a forum to spread information concerning of biology/medicine - as teachers use to do it. This is why we keep copyright and copyright violations also very important. Thanks for your help again. Best regrads from, Kohlasz21

Flickr images

Hi. As a result of your request at Commons talk:Flickr images/reviewers, I have added you to the reviewers list. Please see the instructions at Commons:Flickr images/reviewers and add {{User trusted}} to your userpage. You can ask me if you need any help. Cheers, Giggy (talk) 07:25, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Neat; thanks Giggy, I won't fail you. MBisanz talk 08:42, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Congratulations! Ping me if you need to know anything, though I doubt you'll have any need for me :) --Kanonkas(talk) 16:23, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rick Astley

I cropped Image:Rick Astley.jpg and uploaded it under Image:Rick Astley-cropped.jpg, why did you re-upload Rick Astley.jpg under Rick Astley-cropped? now "cropped" is a duplicate. :s --Yamanbaiia (talk) 21:28, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I was under the impression that in order to preserve proper attribution, we need to upload an exact copy of the Flickr image and then upload a derivative cropped copy of it, since technically the flickr image is not the same as the cropped image (it isn't cropped). Although some admins have since told me it is close enough, so I'll revert to your version. Sorry for the confusion. MBisanz talk 21:52, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Ahh, now I see you did upload the exact flickr version. So the second image is a derivative image, not a flickr image. Fixing the tag, apologies for the confusion again, I didn't see the master copy. MBisanz talk 21:54, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I thought I was on the wrong somehow so no worries. Thanksssss.--Yamanbaiia (talk) 22:16, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
