Constructivist architecture

I noticed this article after you added it to the template Modernarch. I am very impressed, and hope you continue working on it to the point of featured article. Two things to take in mind though is it does not have footnotes or references the addition of which will greatly improve the article. Let me know if there is anything I can help with in finding your way around Wikipedia. Regards, DVD+ R/W 20:17, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like to second that - fantastic work - maybe you'd be interested in joining the Wikipedia:WikiProject Architecture, Kind regards --Mcginnly | Natter 23:15, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for Image:Ginzburg Gostrakh.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Ginzburg Gostrakh.jpg. 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.

Orphaned fair use image (Image:P golosov pravda.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:P golosov pravda.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia 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. JeremyA 17:28, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Chernikov image

Hi Owen, nice to see you've returned and are working on the refs. Take another look at Image:Chernikhov hammer&sickle.jpg, esp. the talkpage. Jmabel proposed that this might be {{PD-Russia}} which would be an improvement on the licensing. If it makes sense, please change the template to this. Regards, DVD+ R/W 19:39, 1 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I'm glad that is settled. At some point I'm going to move the public domain ones to the Commons (or you can do that if you want) so that they can be more easily used in articles in other languages. DVD+ R/W 19:56, 1 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry to bother you again but could you take another look at Image:Vesnin-pravda-s.jpg and other pics you've uploaded to see if they are PD-Russia and retemplate them? I'll bring them over to the Commons tonight, I'm eager to see Russian versions of these articles. DVD+ R/W 20:15, 1 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

And two more tips for now: try to minimize the lists - as they are unneccessary once the figures are already mentioned or linked in the text (but like a grocery list, if it is helpful in organizing use it - remembering though that it is not itself what you are after); and expand the lead section. Happy editing, DVD+ R/W 20:57, 1 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
