Petronas Towers

You reverted my change to the World's Tallest Building template. Currently, the article itself acknowledges this as once one of the world's tallest buildings: "The Petronas Towers (also known as the Petronas Twin Towers), in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (3°9′28.26″N, 101°42′41.94″E), were once the world's tallest buildings when measured from the level of the main entrance to the structural or architectural top. It has since been unseated by the Taipei 101 on October 17, 2003."

The rooftop, as I have understood from other declarations does not matter, as the spires are higher than the Sears Tower.

Please reply on my user page or open it up for conversation on Talk:Petronas Towers. -Sean Hayford O'Leary 05:48, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem RE: Image:05GovDanRT300.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:05GovDanRT300.jpg. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law. We need you to specify two things on the image description page:

The copyright holder, and
The copyright status

The copyright holder is usually the creator. If the creator was paid to make this image, then their employer may be the copyright holder. If several people collaborated, then there may be more than one copyright holder. If you created this image, then you are the copyright holder.

Because of the large number of images on Wikipedia, we've sorted them using image copyright tags. Just find the right tag corresponding to the copyright status of this image, and paste it onto the image description page like this: {{TAGHERE}}.

There are 3 basic ways to licence an image on Wikipedia:

The copyright holder gets the best protection of his work by licencing their work under an open content license like the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike licence. If you have the express permission of the copyright holder to licence their work under the above licence, use the image copyright tag: {{cc-by-sa-2.5}}. The GNU Free Documentation License is another choice for licencing one's work. Again, if you have the express permission of the copyright holder, use the tag: {{GFDL}}.

The copyright holder can also release his work into the public domain, see here for images released into the public domain.

- Images from certain sources are automatically release into the Public Domain. This is true for most governments like the federal United States government. (See here for images from the government of the USA and here for other governments) However not all governments release their work into the public domain, such as the UK government (See here for images from the UK government). Non-free licence governments are listed here.

Also, in some cases, an image is copyrighted but allowed on Wikipedia because of Fair Use. To see if this image qualifies and then how to tag it, see Wikipedia:Fair use.

For any other sources of for more information see Wikipedia:Image copyright tags. Please remember that if you don't tag your images, they will be deleted.

P.S. If you have uploaded other images without including copyright tags, please go back and tag them. Also, please tag all images that you upload in the future.

If you have any questions, just leave a message on my talk page. Thanks again.

(My apologies, as I should have added this notice earlier. Please see Image_talk:05GovDanRT300.jpg for an explanation.)--TCC (talk) (contribs) 05:52, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Luxury Car Manufacruers

Hi, I noticed that you added Daimler to the list of current luxury car manufacturers. Do have any links that lead to Daimler's site since as far as I know Daimler does not currently manufacture vehicles itself but only converts Jaguars into stretch limousines. Thanx Gerdbrendel 16:54, 2 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't leave {{DrugsNotice}} on article pages. This is a template intended for talkpages, and should not clutter article material. JFW | T@lk 22:43, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for this awesome image: Image:Sears Tower ss.jpg! Would you maybe have a version with a larger resolution? If so, I'd love to recommend it as a featured picture candidate. Thanks again. -Quasipalm 13:46, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Bankonetower.jpg

I recently took a photograph of the Chase Tower in Indianapolis and uploaded a copy of it to Wikipedia. The image that I took is of better quality quality than Image:Bankonetower.jpg which you uploaded. I hope you don't mind, but since the image I uploaded was better, I replaced yours with mine on the article. If you like, I can delete your image since it is unused now? --Durin 16:34, 10 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sure man, yours looks a lot better anyway. Thanks for the heads-up though. Soakologist 04:07, 11 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation to join Wikipedia:WikiProject Eastern Orthodoxy

Hi there! I've noticed that you've edited articles pertaining to the Eastern Orthodox Church. I wanted to extend an invitation to you to join the WikiProject dedicated to organizing and improving articles on the subject, which can be found at: WikiProject Eastern Orthodoxy. This WikiProject was begun because a need was perceived to raise the level of quality of articles on Wikipedia which deal with the Eastern Orthodox Church.

You can find information on the project page about the WikiProject, as well as how to join and how to indicate that you are a member of the project. Additionally, you may be interested in helping out with our collaboration of the month. I hope you'll consider joining and thank you for your contributions thus far! —A.S.

Image:05GovDanRT300.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:05GovDanRT300.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. --Chowbok ☠ 01:16, 25 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned fair use image (Image:IIT seal.JPG)

Thanks for uploading Image:IIT seal.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 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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).

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 any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Indianapolis-Anderson-Columbus CSA in ChiPitts article

I reverted your change, because I-A-C is the official U.S. Government name for that Combined Statistical Area, a name determined by an impartial nationwide process (and not because of any bias or partisanship). I've also removed the link to the Nine-County Region because the I-A-C CSA covers one heck of a lot more territory than that, and needs its own article (which you would be better qualified than I to write). For that matter, the feds' official definition of the Indianapolis-Carmel, IN Metropolitan Statistical Area now includes ten counties!

License tagging for Image:Illtech logo.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Illtech logo.gif. 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. 01:08, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Oxford arms hires.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Oxford arms hires.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

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 fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and 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. Riana (talk) 23:58, 28 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Revolver US Release

I did provide an edit summary with a reason the second time I reverted it: "rv, per before", referring to the first time I reverted it, where I used the edit summary "rv per WP:ALBUM and for logical article structure". Per WP:ALBUM (specifically WP:ALBUM#Infobox and WP:ALBUM#Article body) the infobox should be at the top of the article. Very many albums are released in significantly different versions, and they almost always use a single infobox at the top of the article, per WP:ALBUM. In this case the main infobox already covers the U.S. version, with a U.S. album length and U.S. chronology, so adding a second infobox that duplicates this information is redundant. The US cover should be included as an alternate cover in the standard infobox, per WP:ALBUM#Template: Extra album cover 2. With logical article structure I was meant that the existing article structure was more logical, with the section "American release" being a subsection of "Release history". Your change caused the article structure to be illogical in that the track listing for the U.S. release was not a subsection of the section with the U.S. infobox. The current track listing section is in line with WP:ALBUM#Track listing though, so changing that does not seem like a good idea. Hope that explains my reasoning. I will now merge the infoboxes, so that the standard infobox contains the information the separate infobox. I hope that is an acceptable compromise. --PEJL 00:45, 14 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
