Beijing Museum of Natural History
77.128.240.84 removed the image you posted of the BMNH, with the explanation "(this seems to be an other museum (see Chinese text: Zhongguo gudongwu guan))". If this is wrong, and you're sure it's the correct photo (e.g., you took it yourself), can you revert the change and add a comment? Thanks. Ecphora (talk) 16:07, 6 July 2008 (UTC)


 * The large sauropod on top should have been a sign. Thanks. Ecphora (talk) 22:57, 6 July 2008 (UTC)


 * The German Wikipedia page for BMNH shows a different, older building. See close up. Do you recognize that?  Is it possible your photo is of a new wing on the same building?  Ecphora (talk) 12:33, 8 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I wondered at first if this was on the other side of the building I went to (new facade/new entrance and old facade/old entrance), but after doing some further digging, it appears as though I did not in fact go to the place I thought I did.


 * I asked my interpreter to take me to the "dinosaur museum", naturally thinking that there was only the one I had read about which was the Natural History Museum. After talking to a Chinese-speaking colleague at the office and doing some further digging online, it turns out that I in fact visited the other dinosaur museum in Beijing, which is called the Paleozoological Museum of China, which is apparently a branch of that country's academy of sciences. The clincher for me was seeing the image on this page: http://www.china.org.cn/english/travel/164852.htm.


 * If you have not already done so, please feel free to remove the image I have posted to the Beijing Natural History Museum page, and this evening after work I will try to set everything else straight (and create a decent page for the Paleozoological Museum).


 * Thanks for being persistent! Captmondo (talk) 14:48, 8 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks for making the correction. I doubt many appreciate how much work (and care) goes into Wikipedia.  Ecphora (talk) 00:50, 9 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Hello, Captmondo! You should delete the photo (because of its wrong description) and then insert it again. Greetings from Germany de:Benutzer:Reiner Stoppok --77.134.72.241 (talk) 03:06, 10 July 2008 (UTC) PS: I think, you have had a good interpreter! ;-)


 * I agree with you, and in fact am working on it. Since some of the other picture of dinos from that museum are used in other articles, am working on the replacement images first, and then once everything is in place, intend to delete the incorrectly-named ones systematically. I also intend to cobble together a page on Zoological Museum as well, (though the online source materials in English are scant). I definitely do not blame my interpreter (most people head to places like the Winter Palace instead of wanting to see dinosaurs ;-) and when I head back to Beijing I will definitely check out the other museum. Cheers! Captmondo (talk) 10:17, 10 July 2008 (UTC)


 * There are some more Dinosaur Museums in China. I had written a short notice of the IVPP-Museum. --77.134.72.241 (talk) 11:43, 10 July 2008 (UTC) No interpreter who does not wonder, where the foreigners want to go to ...


 * "The greatest traveller does not know where he is going". --Reiner Stoppok (talk) 12:03, 10 July 2008 (UTC)


 * You should mention the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology (IVPP), because the Museum is in its building. Reiner Stoppok --77.134.72.241 (talk) 20:39, 10 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks for that piece of info; I have incorporated it into the article, along with some references to help fill out the article a bit.


 * Have re-uploaded all of the images to Wikimedia Commons with the correct location in the filename, and have put in deletion requests for all of the old/incorrectly labeled image. Have just spent the past hour going through the English Wikipedia correcting links to the old images to the new ones so that image links won't be broken. *Whew!* ;-)


 * There's still more from that collection that I have yet to process/upload, so there will be more to come. And if you find any other English online references that would be useful, please append them to the article.


 * Cheers! Captmondo (talk) 02:24, 11 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Sorry for that! - I'm not sure, whether it "houses" the museum or the museum is a part of it! --77.134.63.38 (talk) 02:34, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:FriendlyGiant-KinescopeImage.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:FriendlyGiant-KinescopeImage.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 non-free media lacking such an explanation 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.  Royal broil  20:49, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:SimplySean(Cullen)_promo-CBC.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:SimplySean(Cullen)_promo-CBC.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 non-free media lacking such an explanation 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. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Rettetast (talk) 12:49, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Delrina-logo.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Delrina-logo.jpg. 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) 05:27, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
