Courtesy, good faith, and other such things

I've commented on the issue. I'd say that I'm probably too involved to do anything more substantial than finger-wagging here, though; if you wish to escalate the issue, it would probably be best to find yet another admin.

(I'm not enough of a copyright expert to judge whether reproducing the Google logo in colored text is problematic. It's probably not a copyright violation per se, but there may be trademark issues involved. Perhaps one of the legal people around could be asked to comment on the issue.)

No problem

I can't stand would-be page owners. Always a pleasure to help stop them. Kasreyn 01:25, 14 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Nfitz,

Image:Johnamacdonald1870.jpg is about to be deleted, can you please add where you got the photo from? Thanks -- Jeff3000 14:04, 20 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I must confess I'm not clear, nor can I find information, on how one is supposed to source an image. Given that that the photograph is clearly well over 100 years old, and obviously outside of copyright, I marked it as such originally, and thought that would suffice. Can you point me towards information on how source data should be presented? Nfitz 14:33, 20 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think the PD tag is almost enough; I think all they now need is where it originally came from; did you get it from a particular website? did you scan it from a book? Just write that information over the current nosource tag, and I think it should be enough. Thanks, -- Jeff3000 14:58, 20 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, I'm noting that Wikipedia:Image use policy is far clearer and more explicit than when I originally uploaded that image. I'll see if I can follow the current guideline. Odd though that the original person who tagged it, didn't bother to contact me. Thanks, Nfitz 15:04, 20 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image 2

Hi Jeff, is there any reason why you want the picture of the Universal House of Justice on the top of the Bahai article? I think the teachings about God and His Manifestations which are reflected in the ring symbol are much more important to Bahais than the House of Justice. The article is about faith not administration. Greeting from Germany --Mipago 20:45, 20 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Libya

Hello,

Could you please update this image, Image:Featuredcountries.png, I don't know how. Libya's been added to the featured countries list. I'm really excited but I'd love to see it on the map to believe it.

Thanks a lot,

Hi Jeff, I noticed that you added the unreferenced tag to his article again. As I noted clearly in my edit summary, the article provides Banglapedia as a reference. Banglapedia is a print encyclopedia financed by the Government of Bangladesh and published by the Asiatic Society of Bangladesh, a well known scholarly society. I assume you confused it with a wikipedia mirror, which it isn't definitely, and certainly a valid, reputable source. Let me know if you have any further enquiries. Thank you. --Ragib 22:49, 3 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Question

Hey Jeff, I am going to be taking the Tahirih Justice Center for a featured nomination in a few days after it finishes its peer review. Would you support this article for FA do you think? Is it good enough, and if not, what would you suggest be done to improve it? Thanks for your help!UberCryxic 04:15, 4 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot man. I realize this is sort of spur of the moment, but I saw you make some edits and at this point I need feedback from pretty much anyone I can get it from.UberCryxic 04:21, 4 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Jeff, thanks for your help. I am going to start on those issues right away. I do think it is problematic that some/many of the sources come from the organization itself, but the problem is that it was often the only place where I could find certain information I needed (particularly for the Growth section). I will attempt to add more information about the work Tahirih does with those issues, but I'm not really sure how much more I can put in without getting bogged down from too much organizational material. That section was intended more to explain to people some of the things Tahirih deals with anyway. But I'll see what I can do.UberCryxic 13:47, 4 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oooo also forgot to mention one key point: most of the references are not from TJC. Only 17 out of the 43 references are from TJC. That's still a lot, and I'll try to mitigate it, but I just wanted to clarify.UberCryxic 13:49, 4 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

All-right, I'll try to find some third-party references for those goals (I believe all numbers have been cited). Citations can and often do go at the end of paragraphs (lots of history books are written this way, for example, to make it easier on the reader). Some other FAs I've written or worked on do this as well.UberCryxic 14:39, 4 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well actually, the Military history of France, which I wrote, nominated, and passed in March of this year, uses that style in a number of places, and I believe cite.php had already been introduced. I think almost no one brought it up as an issue in the review.UberCryxic 14:46, 4 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Man nice reorganization of the sources. This article wouldn't be going anywhere without you haha! Good job.UberCryxic 15:36, 4 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Jeff, everything has now been referenced. Do you mind giving it a final copyedit before I nominate it for FA?UberCryxic 00:53, 5 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Jeff, can you do that whole speedy delete thing? I'm not sure how to do it.UberCryxic 14:34, 5 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Also, and sorry to ask you to do this, but I've never uploaded anything on Wikipedia before (always on Commons), and I'm not sure how to license what and what code to put in and stuff. So could you do that also? Basically, do everything Jeff! Haha just kidding, but I don't want to screw up whatever it is that we have to do. One other thing: right now I can't log on in Commons so I can't yet delete that pic, but I'm trying. In the meantime, I'll work on improving the article.UberCryxic 14:45, 5 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks for documenting the Bahá'í view for the "Krishna" article. Much appreciated. --O Govinda 04:16, 4 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
