Nomination

Hi Admrboltz! I've just nominated you for administrator position. You can see the nomination here. If you agree with this nomination, please, accept it, so the voting can start. Good luck! -- Obradović Goran (ta^lk 02:12, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

licenses

I see in your comment at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Harm that you suggest {{CommunityUseOnly}} for images on user pages. Actually images with that tag would be deleted because as the previous version said:

This image is copyrighted, and used with permission. The terms of the permission do not include third party use. It is not licensed under the GFDL. If this image was uploaded after 19 May 2005, it will soon be deleted without further warning.[1] Older images with this template will be considered for deletion.

Jimbo Wales ruled a few months ago that wikipedia cannot use images that are released for use "with permission" or "for noncommercial purposes" and all of them should be deleted. I comment this so you can rephrase your image notification messages. -- ( drini's page ☎ ) 02:06, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Boxes

Good to see someone else addicted to collecting the damn things... -- Francs2000 02:19, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Yes I have a secret stash here (at the bottom of the page). My personal favourite is this one. -- Francs2000 02:24, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

My sole contribution to the effort was creating the {{user bodhrán}}templates -- Francs2000 02:29, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

You're absolutely right, and I've fixed it. You might be interested to know that on the Commons they've recently made the PD tag deprecated.--Pharos 08:44, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Image:Wolverhampton_Princes_Square.JPG

Thanks for flagging this up. I'm not sure which copyright to add to it, so any help would be appreciated. I took the image myself, and I'm happy to have it used throughout Wikipedia and other non-commercial sites, but I'd quite like commercial sites to not be able to use it.

Thanks for your help! Steven J 18:18, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Thank you

Francs2000's Bureaucratship

Thanks for your support on my request for bureaucratship.

The final outcome was (70/5/0), so I am now a bureaucrat. I seriously didn't expect so many good comments from everybody and I appreciated the constructive criticism from those that gave it. If you have any queries, suggestions or problems with any of my actions as a bureaucrat then please leave me a note. -- Francs2000 22:13, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

{{PD-USGov-NARA}}

Well, though Image:BattleofNewOrleans2.jpg was maybe scanned by NARA or the physical copy is in their collection, they didn't produce the image in any legally meaningful way, and the reason it's PD is just because it's old. I think this tag might have to be deleted; we should be attriubting images to their original sources, not the place where they're collected.--Pharos 07:52, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Wordwhiz Image

I have now put up the upload info for Image:WordWhiz.jpg. You may now take off the removal template thing. WordWhiz 01:28, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

P.S: Please reply if you see this, Admrboltz.

All fixed

I added a rationale to the Image tag for the image I uploaded Image:Wowsignal.gif thinkpad 08:37, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

ASCII art

Heh, did you happen to see this? --King of All the Franks 04:14, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I ought to do that more often. I took the time to warn some of the recent genitalia sockpuppets on Jimmy Wales. --King of All the Franks 04:18, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Image:Woollynightshade.jpg

I uploaded a newer version of this that I took myself and gave it an appropriate license. Cheers, Peter1968 05:10, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Possible copyright problem

You seem to know your way around with copyrights and "stuff". What do you think about Jennifer Hawkins and the picture on there that is listed as "copyrighted but the owner allows anyone to use it for any purpose". The picture source is listed (a commercial website) but there is no word about where the owner allows anyone to use it for any purpose. I am not sure how to go about this, I am just a regular dude :). BigBen212 19:06, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Proposed for deletion: Image:Yabaniy es-sahara western sahara anthem.mid

===>Why? It's sourced, and it's a national anthem, which is general considered public domain-y, or somesuch. Justin (koavf) 00:35, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

===>I'm with you, but The .mid file is linked here. Do I need to link to the image? Justin (koavf) 00:39, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Yes

Hence my vote. Good luck to you. Chick Bowen 05:39, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Congratulations!

Congratulations! It's my pleasure to let you know that, consensus being reached, you are now an administrator. You should read the relevant policies and other pages linked to from the administrators' reading list before carrying out tasks like deletion, protection, banning users, and editing protected pages such as the Main Page. Most of what you do is easily reversible by other sysops, apart from page history merges and image deletion, so please be especially careful with those. You might find the new administrators' how-to guide helpful. Cheers! -- Cecropia 04:27, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Congratulations, and you're very welcome! --King of All the Franks 08:37, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Congratulations, good luck and take care. --Mihai -^talk 16:03, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Congratulations! Please let me know if there is ever anything I can do to help. - Johntex\^talk 17:44, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Picture: Image:WTGDMan1986.jpg

That's my senior portrait taken in 2003, though I have a lot more somewhere at home. Does this count as me being the copyright holder, since I had the picture taken? — Preceding unsigned comment added by WTGDMan1986 (talk • contribs)

Puzzling deletion threat

Please explain your recent edit on my talk page concerning Image:InfrogmationSketch.JPG. I can see nothing requiring either relicencing nor deletion of the image. I look forward to hearing from you on my talk page or the talk page of the image in question. Wondering, -- Infrogmation 18:26, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

current DYK image

First of all, congrats on joining the admin club!! The difference between the images is the extension, .jpg and .JPG. The latter is on commons and hence cannot be protected from vandalism, (as I am not an admin yet ;-) on commons), it is temporarily uploaded - dunno why, but the default extension seems to be .jpg rather than .JPG and hence it got uploaded as such. btw, the file was huge and took a lot of time to manually download it first from commons and then upload it to en. See you around, --Gurubrahma 19:01, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
