User talk:Andromeda321

Welcome!

 * Hi,, Welcome to Wikipedia!

I hope you like this place--I sure do--and want to stay. If you need help on how to title new articles check out Naming conventions, and for help on formatting the pages visit the manual of style. If you need help look at Help and The FAQ, plus if you can't find your answer there, check The Village pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or The Reference Desk (for general questions)! There's still more help at the Tutorial and Policy Library. Plus, don't forget to visit the Community Portal. And if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on My User talk Page. Additional Tips:

Here's some extra tips to help you get around in the 'pedia! Matani2005| Talk 19:36, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * If you made any edits before you got an account, you might be interested in assigning those to your username.
 * If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you.
 * You can sign your name using three tildes, like &#126&#126&#126;. If you use four, you can add a datestamp too.
 * You may want to add yourself to the New User Log
 * If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.

Et tu?
Yes, I'd noticed your edit on Kitt Peak before, probably for much the same reasons I'd jumped in on the Kitt Peak discussion on BABB. And yes, I tend to plug Wikipedia a lot wherever I go, since I found it. And by the way, while I'm at it, if you'd be so kind (and have sufficient knowledge, which I suspect you do), feel free to contribute to my hopeful overhaul of the astrophotography page at User:JohnOwens/Pet Projects/astrophotography. I'm kind of bumping around in the dark there, figuring things out as I learn them the hard way with my own camera & telescope (which, by the way, was a major contributor to my absence for a while from BABB), and trying to figure things out from basic principles for the other techniques of astrophotography. So any help or experience with methods other than those with which I have first-hand experience, would be greatly appreciated. See you around the BABB! --John Owens (talk) 11:24, 2005 Apr 17 (UTC)

Image
Thanks for your contributions, and in particular for the useful picture Image:Drugsniffingdog.jpg. There's no license tag on this image, I'm wondering if you'd be willing to release it as GFDL (this maintains your copyright but releases all usage rights under the GNU Free Documentation License)? If so, could you place GFDL-self on the article? If you'd rather not do that, please look over Image copyright tags for another option. This applies to all the images you've uploaded; I see that most of them have a copyright free use tag, which is fine. Thanks. Chick Bowen 23:47, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Hmm I must've missed that one, thanks for noticing it! I've added a GFDL tag to the image. Andromeda321 01:50, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

Photograph copyrights
Hey Yvette, a small matter has arisen with some of the photos you uploaded on the Wikitravel site that may also apply here. Over there the issue is that the language of the uploads doesn't make it clear that you release the photos for use under the usual ("Copyleft") terms, with the result that they're in danger of getting deleted. (You might drop by and do something about that, btw; wouldn't want those photos to go away.) Is the same thing a problem for anything you've added here? Not clear from the language accompanying the images. The terms of use are different here than on Wikitravel but the principles are similar. -- Bill-on-the-Hill 13:42, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Chien-ShiungWu.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Chien-ShiungWu.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this:.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Hetar 05:21, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Help with a translation?
You note that you're a native speaker of Hungarian. Could you check out Possibly unfree images and help with a translation? The uploader of an image says that a specific passage of Hungarian law releases all works of the Hungarian government into the public domain, and while I found the Hungarian law, we could use a few opinions from Hungarian speakers on what the law says. Thanks. —Simetrical (talk • contribs) 21:11, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

Image:Plutoandcharon.jpg


Hello, Andromeda321! Because many users believe that one of the stars in the background is actually Pluto or Charon, I decided to remove them digitally. However, I did not notice that the picture was copyrighted. I'm sorry if you do not think this is a good improvement: feel free to revert the image if desired. --Brazucs ( TALK | CONTRIBS ) 06:02, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Image:MMTObservatory.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:MMTObservatory.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a free image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
 * 1) Go to the image description page and edit it to add
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. – Quadell (talk) (random) 20:07, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:Kanyadi.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Kanyadi.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the image description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Norgay.gif)
Thanks for uploading Image:Norgay.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 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. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:43, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
