Watergate
Analogue, why are there two references to 2007 Columbus Ohio newspapers about Magurder but no other periodical or news references? No contemporary or historical references to, say, the Washington Post or CNN or the New York Times, about Magurder's role in Watergate? You have a local Ohio axe to grind? This wiki is about global history. This guy is here because of his role in Watergate, and gee, yes, it's important to know that he had a DUI and a car accident as a geriatric, but people dial him up because of the Watergate scandal. With the limited space we have to communicate, do you really think that anyone cares about central Ohio news? This is not the place for personal attacks.
 * Analogue, I see you responded on this "IP address" talk page. Seems like someone somewhere does have an axe to grind. Bummer. I'll just note that CNN did not exist at the time of Watergate; that local papers are the correct sources, in general, for local events (like a D.U.I.); and that without a link to the article I can't conveniently assess what he's complaining about anyway.

Lane Rd, Beach Rd Bridge
Hi. I saw that you removed my comments about the Beach Rd bridge being the same design as the Lane Rd bridge. Don't know if you've ever seen the Beach Rd bridge, but once you do, you'll see the striking similarity to the Lane Rd bridge. The Franklin County Engineering folks told us that the Beach Rd bridge was the prototype for the Lane Rd bridge. The towers are exactly the same design, as are the cables and their anchors. The primary difference is that the Beach Rd bridge has two tower sets to avoid placing piers in the Big Darby Creek. The primary reason the Lane Rd bridge was constructed so quickly was that they worked out all the bugs on the Beach Rd bridge (which consequently took a couple of years to build).

I've put my changes back substantially the same as they were. Be happy to talk more about this if you wish. If you live in central OH, why not take a drive to the Beach Rd bridge site and see for yourself.Boomer 18:48, 15 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Actually, I decided to leave it the way you last changed it. I'm not satisfied that I have enough evidence to make my case after all. Boomer 18:48, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

OSC Supercomputer
Analogue, thanks for fixing up the OSC article. I flagged their "Blue Collar" project article as template:Advert because I was reluctant to summarily revert the work of a neighbor (I know mathematicians and computer scientists at OSU). When I looked around for an example of an article about a supercomputer center that is not an advertisement (to send to the PR folks at OSC who made these changes) I noticed you had had to fix a similar thing at the OSC main article. Perhaps you'd like to help them out at the Blue Collar article. Pete St.John 15:27, 31 January 2007 (UTC) (my talk)

copyright?
The advertising additions to the OSC articles are from OSC (nslookup resolves the IP address to OSC.net, which is not an anonymous email server :-). I'm sure OSC would not complain about publishing their advertising, even if someone else had done it; but it plainly violates NPOV etc. You would be doing them a favor to edit out the subjectivity, otherwise someone will just delete it, right?

Good Article nominee
Hello, I just wanted to let you know that I think that the "B" class rating on the Columbus, Ohio article is incorrect. That "B" class rating was given approximately 1.5 years ago like you said and that was before alot of major improvements got underway. I've been looking over the Columbus article real good and the article to me looks like it is ready for Good Article nominee. The article to me looks very good and extensive with plenty of references. I would have to say thanks in part to your work. Cheers, --Ohioan 06:33, 24 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Good day, I just wanted to let you know that I got ahold of User:Alabamaboy, an expert in article nominees. I had noticed that User:Alabamaboy had passed Youngstown, Ohio as a Good Article on February 13, 2007, so I asked him to check out Columbus, Ohio's article since the class "B" grade was incorrect. User:Alabamaboy said that he quickly checked out the article and said it appears to be ready to become a good article. If we want, we can nominate the article on the good article nomination page. User:Alabamaboy then will review it more completely and will be happy to promote it (if everything checks out).--Ohioan 04:02, 25 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Good deal, I nominated Columbus, Ohio for Good Article status, thanks in part to your hard work. Cheers, --Ohioan 04:37, 25 March 2007 (UTC)


 * My recent nomination for Good Article status for Columbus, Ohio has passed! --Ohioan 01:58, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Peer Review
I was also wondering if the article should undergo a Peer Review to see how much farther it has to go to reach Featured Article status. Are goal is to see where we are so that we know what kind of improvements are still needed. Hopefully with some help from Wikipedians in Ohio like me that know the Columbus area real well, Columbus has a real good chance of becomeing a Featured Article in the near future. I might see what I can do to help out with this because I visit the area alot and know the area some. --Ohioan 06:33, 24 March 2007 (UTC)


 * I will leave all this up to you as far as the peer review goes on the Columbus, Ohio article. I don't want you to rush things too quickly, take your time till everythings done right. Keep up the good work. Cheers, --Ohioan 00:27, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Re. Requests for protection: Hydroelectricity
Hello. Vandalism to this article really doesn't justify semi-protection. Nine vandalism edits in a week is little to worry about. Nine vandalism edits a day would justify semi-protection. Take this article for instance. It was vandalized some twenty times by some ten different accounts in the 24 hours prior to my semi-protection. That was a clear case for protection. I hope this explains why I declined the request for protecting Hydroelectricity. Keep up the good work though. Regards, Hús  ö  nd  00:01, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Media request question

License tagging for Image:Hand Pump Hinckley.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:Hand Pump Hinckley.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.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
 * Image use policy
 * Image copyright tags

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 Media copyright questions. 18:08, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

MT company article
Can you please let me know who is responsible for defining what is "neutral"? i mean adding a company history for MT which you re-moved is very strange. Especialy when i look at the german version of Wikipedia where the same information for MT is allowed, e.g. http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mettler-Toledo. Thanks for your feedback. I realy want to contribute in a good way. But this seems very strange to me. From my point of view it is a pure description of our history. I cannot see anything which sounds like a advertisment.

I tried again please let me know if this is also neutral from your point of view. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.249.201.68 (talk • contribs)

Columbus, Ohio article
Please stop removing the link to the historic postcards from the Columbus, Ohio article. If you persist, I will report you for vandalism. george 18:34, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

helpmeThis user is adding external links which do not comply with Wikipedia's policy, and I've been persistent about removing them, but am now being accused of vandalism. Could somebody else back me up in trying to convince the user that I'm following a rule?--Analogue Kid 19:10, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I agree here; calling a good-faith editor a vandal is way out of line; see User talk:Georgeccampbell for my comment to him. Veinor (talk to me) 19:20, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
 * About the link, I think this website is OK per WP:EL the link adds some value you wouldn't find in the article, and does not promote anything if I'm correct. The website has been added to 25 articles, that is a bit much IMO, but that's not extreme. -- lucasbfr talk 19:40, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Skybus Citing
I frequently edit airline articles and tend to find the way you have the page cited is too space consuming. The way I do it makes it simple, with the link, the description which is described on the link, the source and the date issued. Please do not revert edits like such without discussing beforehand.--Golich17 17:43, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

 * 1) Please update your information at WikiProject U.S. Roads/Participants, our new centralized participant list. Those who have not done so by October 20th will be removed.
 * 2) There are important discussions taking place at WT:USRD relating to whether WP:USRD, WP:HWY, or the state projects should hold the "power" in the roads projects.

Columbus' streetcar proposal
I do not believe this is noteworthy enough to be included in the article at this time. Only if the proposal gets approved should it get added, since it would then be notable. The way it reads now is as a news item, which is why I removed it. ArcAngel (talk) 00:24, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Dayton, Ohio Roads Meet
Hi - This is Dan, a frequent contributor to the Ohio Roads Project, and also the webmaster of Ohio Highway Ends (http://www.state-ends.com/ohio/). I just wanted to give you a heads up that there is a gathering of roads enthusiasts, if you will, taking place in Dayton on Saturday, 5/10 at Logan's Road House, 2819 Centre Dr., Fairborn, OH 45324. The first part is a meet-and-greet over lunch, giving people a chance to shoot the breeze, with some attendees potentially bringing some interesting maps, atlases, pictures and more. There may even be a freebie or two floating out there at the gathering (such as a free map). After lunch, we'll divide up and take a tour of some highlights from Dayton area highways, including the almost-completed I-70/75 interchange (the "Freedom Veterans' Crossroads"), reconstruction of the I-75/OH 4 interchange, the newly-reconstructed US 35 through downtown Dayton, and a side tour to an historic crossroad: Dixie Highway & the National Road. We should be wrapped up with the tour by 4:30-5:00 PM. That's a brief synopsis of what the event will entail; I am sending a special invite to all of the Ohio Roads Project editors. These events are always fun, unique and very informative. If you have the opportunity on that day, I would like to invite you to join us. If you have any questions or would like to RSVP, please let me know in the coming days. Thanks, and have a great week! DanTheMan474 (talk) 13:59, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

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.

Volkswagen GTI Fahrenheit edition image from Columbus
Analogue Kid;

Thank you for this posting image: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:VWGTIFahrenheit.JPG

I own this car (#213/1200) currently. Purchased at Midwestern Auto Group with 217 miles. Someone had removed the Charleston wheels and replaced them with Hufeisen. The car has 15k on her now, an AWE downpipe, and GIAC flash. The car is still in Columbus.

It's neat to see my car used as the example in the article; I had no idea it was at the show.

Thanks, XCybe (talk) 21:11, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

Deletion
Hi, yes, blatant copyright violation might be too strong. Nevertheless, it was an, unintentional, copyright violation. You took an image of a Volkswagen sticker, the original copyright of that sticker (including text) belongs to Volkswagen. The image you took of that sticker is a Derivative work which doesn't entitle you to release it under the GFDL. Garion96 (talk) 19:39, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Creativity is very low to establish copyright, see Feist Publications v. Rural Telephone Service. I am pretty sure this sticker is more than enough. You are welcome of course to post a deletion review for more input. Garion96 (talk) 20:09, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

You are now a Reviewer
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 04:46, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with File:ButterCow.JPG
Thank you for uploading File:ButterCow.JPG.

This image is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such images would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a screenshot of a computer game or movie. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original image must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work.

While the image description page states the source and copyright status of the derivative work, it only names the creator of the original work without specifying the status of their copyright over the work.

Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the original image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other derivative works, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log].

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Kelly hi! 01:54, 25 November 2011 (UTC)


 * This "sculpture" quickly decays and doesn't last beyond the time it is exhibited. Thus, it falls under Freedom of Panorama. From description page "Even quickly decaying works can thus be "permanent" and therefore be subject to freedom of panorama. Street paintings, ice, sand, or snow sculptures rarely last more than a few days or weeks. If they're left in public space for their natural lifetime, they are considered "permanent" all the same. But if, for instance, an ice sculpture is exhibited only for a few hours and then moved to cold storage, it may not be permanently placed."--Analogue Kid (talk) 20:39, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately there is no freedom of panorama in the US, except for buildings - see Commons:COM:FOP. But I've sent the image to WP:FFD for community discussion. FYI, similar butter sculpture images were deleted from Commons a while back, unless the photos/depicted works were old enough to be in the public domain. Kelly  hi! 22:27, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
 * And this is why I hate Wikipedia and don't contribute much anymore. The artist who makes these has 0 chance of coming after Wikimedia, and yet people are paranoid about "following the rules". It's just absurd. Have fun deleting my picture.--Analogue Kid (talk)
 * Assuming it hasn't been reuploaded yet... Is there a way for the image to be uploaded as a fair use? If one can write commentary about the sculpture (information about who made it, etc) it can be reuploaded. WhisperToMe (talk) 16:25, 29 May 2015 (UTC)

You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log]. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.  Admr Boltz  20:22, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

Notification of automated file description generation
Your upload of File:CityCenterLazarus.JPG or contribution to its description is noted, and thanks (even if belatedly) for your contribution. In order to help make better use of the media, an attempt has been made by an automated process to identify and add certain information to the media's description page.

This notification is placed on your talk page because a bot has identified you either as the uploader of the file, or as a contributor to its metadata.

Disambiguation link notification for December 31
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Mazda Proving Grounds, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Proving Ground. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

File source problem with File:Original Wendy's.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Original Wendy's.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a [ list of your uploads]. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:CMH Destinations Aug 15.gif


A tag has been placed on File:CMH Destinations Aug 15.gif requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
