Whoops

Thanks for fixing the link on Yotsuba&! -- needless to say, I was doing four things at once, which I really ought to have learned better by now. —Quasirandom (talk) 14:24, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

No problem. I thought it might be something like that. --Imroy (talk) 00:52, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

File:HDR example - exposure.jpeg

Hi there, I'd like to move this file to Commons, but I'm an admin there and I want everything ok with the legal info first. Is this file (and the HDR rendering, or other uploads from you in the same series) your own work? If not, what's the source? I'm asking only because we need explicit declaration. Thanks in advance, --Eusebius (talk) 13:03, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

It is my own work, but the render uses a light probe (environment map) created by Paul Debevec. On his light probe gallery it says

Images Copyright © 1998, 1999 Paul Debevec.

But doesn't say just what license they're released under. If it's worth anything, his light probes are seen being used all over the place and yet they remain available with no warning over their ownership. Is this going to be a problem? --Imroy (talk) 14:41, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

For Commons, yes, it would be a derivative work of a copyrighted image. Could be solved if Paul Debevec allowed you (through OTRS) to release your work, based on his, with a Commons-compatible license. Do you want me to ask for this authorization? If so, for which picture list and which licenses? --Eusebius (talk) 14:59, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Please dont abuse the term "vandalism"

Regarding the edit summary of this edit: please read wikipedia:Vandalism and use the term with care. - Altenmann >t 16:58, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

I was reverting the edits of Big Dan 1985, a user who came to my attention a while ago having edited several articles on my watchlist. He has been disruptive and several other people have reverted his edits as vandalism (e.g rvv). He has also been blocked temporarily for "vandalism" and "disruptive editing", and has now been blocked indefinitely for being a "Vandalism-only account: as far as I can tell". In light of this, I considered it safe to assume that he was being treated as a vandal and I reverted the last mangled contribution of his. I don't like being singled out for simply being the last person to label his contributions as vandalism. --Imroy (talk) 20:47, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
