I will respond on this page to comments, unless you ask that I respond on your talk page.

Image:Refugia.png
I noticed that you uploaded this image with a refugia, but did not supply a rationale for why you consider this to qualify as fair use. Please supply that rationale, or the image may be deleted. Thanks. Guettarda 21:11, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Supreme Court talk
I had posted to answer your question on the Supreme Court of the United States talkpage -- but before I was able to post the response, the question was gone, so I guess you figured it out for yourself. Just in case you need it, my response was: "A retired Justice is a Justice who has retired from active service on the Court, and has met certain requirements for minimum age and length of service. The box lists retired Justices who are still alive, of which, at the moment, Justice O'Connor is the only one.  If you have any further questions, please ask here or on my talk page." Regards, Newyorkbrad 21:00, 15 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Yeah, thanks I didn't read over the whole talk page before posting and I immediately understood the redundancy of my question. Thanks for the quick reply though. --Cody.Pope 21:05, 15 October 2006 (UTC)


 * FYI, there's further discussion on related topics on the talk page for List of Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States and at senior status. Newyorkbrad 21:13, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Awesome answer
On the science ref desk regarding whales. That was some good wiki-sleuthing, and exactly what was needed for the question. Anchoress 06:45, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Hey Cody
Saw your user page and was wondering....

If I wanted to be able to spend some time with apes or chimps, are there programs where I can go and do that? I love travel and I love animals and I love being able to do simple things that are nurturing (I am a teacher's aid for 1st and 2nd grade).... so reading about your work, I thought, WOW! I might dig that. I'll watch your page for replies. peace, Sethie 15:37, 21 December 2006 (UTC)


 * There's an online resource called Primate Info Net, under jobs there's a list of available positions. Often they are volunteer and only require a modest background with animals, however often they are unpaid.  This shouldn't discourage you too much though, since many volunteer positions involving conservation are both tax deductible and sometimes offer grants/scholarships to differ costs.  Also, if you live in a big city, zoos and museums with live animal shows sometimes have primate research etc. going on and are often seeking volunteers.  As a teacher's aid with young students, you might be able to link your work at the school with any work at a zoo/museum.  Hope that helps!  -Cody.Pope 15:45, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Range Maps?
Are there standards for the range maps in the taxa-boxes for animals? I've started making a few and have been using the various versions of the classic gray on white svg maps as a base. But there are lots of different types floating around out there. If there is already a discussion about this, please point me to it. Thanks. --Cody.Pope 21:15, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I tryed to set up one there Graphic Lab/Maps
 * If you are able to expand it, that's welcome. Yug (talk)  15:51, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Dirtmusiccover.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Dirtmusiccover.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free 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. This is an automated message from BJBot 09:55, 27 January 2007 (UTC)


 * The image was replaced by Image:Dirt_music_cover.jpg - same image different name. There was some sort of server error the first time I uploaded it and wikipedia couldn't find it or replace it.  The other copy should be deleted. --Cody.Pope 15:15, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Oscar
Mr Pope,

Just to let you know that the Featured Picture Image:Astronotus ocellatus.jpg is due to make an appearance as Picture of the Day on. If you get a chance, you can check and improve the caption at Template:POTD/2007-06-04.  howcheng  {chat} 23:10, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

vandalizm
Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Lilyfan87 10:39, 18 February 2007 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry, in what way have I vandalized? In reference to this edit: 14:29 15 February 2007 (hist) (diff) Gwenno Pipette (rv "doesn't wear glasses etc"), removing the comment "She has light blonde hair and does not wear glasses," is not vandalism but an improvement to the article, since this information is not encyclopedic. Please review the guidelines for vandalism before placing a comment on my talk page.  Additionally, if you do not agree with an edit to a page, please discuss it on the article's talk page.  Thanks. --Cody.Pope 22:39, 18 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi Cody.pope, this user has been reported and blocked for one week under various rules including WP:3RR, so hopefully this all should be resolved now. Regards, C2r 00:16, 19 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Yeah, this is her third block now. Hopefully, she'll understand our reasoning for deleting that text. - Akamad 05:16, 19 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Having said that, looking at the latest comments on her talk page, I'm feeling less hopeful... C2r


 * Hmm...seems you're probably right. - Akamad 20:09, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Super Greg
I asked a question on the Ref Desk about a weird 80's European video. You were correct...the character was one of Sacha Baron Cohen's. I finally found it..."Super Greg." Not on Wikipedia currently. Anyway, just wanted to let you know you were right! --Doctorcherokee 12:46, 6 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Eh, thanks sorry I wasn't more specific at the time. I just thought that he had a whole bunch of "pseudo-characters" he'd done from time to time, so when you said it looked like him, I figured maybe... --Cody.Pope 00:17, 7 March 2007 (UTC)


 * It was a good answer. And I was way off, too...turns out "Super Greg" is supposed to be a bad Latin-American DJ.  But, hey, perhaps I was subconsciously thinking of Borat or something.  --Doctorcherokee 00:30, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Tone mapped images
I read your post on the FPC page. I wanted to show you this picture: Image:Victoria_harbor_yin-yan.jpg which has a realistic look, and this picture: Image:Victoria Inner Harbour HDR.png which has a surreal look to it. Both are HDRs with the original source files posted.

Just thought I would pop by and get your opinion on how they work as examples of tone mapping. Feel free to try your own tone mapping of the original images. HighInBC(Need help? Ask me) 01:05, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi Cody.pope
I've just read your article (Adventures in Uganda) and I find it very interessant (The pictures are nice). Do you currently live in Africa or did you leave the continent? --Ba'Gamnan | Talk 14:26, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Hey, yeah I'm presently living in Uganda near the border of Rwanda and the DRC. I live in a research facility at the edge of the Bwindi National Park, and will be here till March '08. I'm glad you like the photos.  Thanks!  If you have any other questions feel free to ask here or on the blog. --Cody.Pope 12:59, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

Re: IP Vandalism
Hi. Instead of doing it myself, I will direct you to the right places where you can be fairly instructed in what to do after reverting an obvious vandal. WP:VANDAL and WP:WARN are a good place to start. In a nutshell, you must warn the vandal (probably using a template, unless it is for some reason in your wanting to use a personal, customised message) in a manor of due course, systematically. After you have appropriately warned them, and then given them a final warning, if the vandal continues vandalising, you should report the vandal to WP:AIV, a highly admin-trafficked page, where an administrator will come along and block the vandal. If you need any more help, please come and see me. Cordially -- Anonymous Dissident  Talk 21:23, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Featured picture candidates/Tree Lion
Hi Cody,

Just to let you know that the Featured Picture Image:Tree_lion_2.jpg is due to make an appearance as Picture of the Day on. If you get a chance, you can check and improve the caption at Template:POTD/2007-12-28.  howcheng  {chat} 00:32, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Re: Image:Tree lion.jpg
Sorry about that, it was automatically de-linked by twinkle. requested deletion via the db-i2 tag as a procedural matter after closing the nomination, since the image is hosted at the commons. ˉˉanetode╦╩ 13:00, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Dirt music cover.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Dirt music cover.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. 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 it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 19:56, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Image:Chimps.jpg licensing information
Hi Cody, just wondering if you took this photo. If so do you think you could add a little more to the licensing box as per Image use policy. It's currently being used on a WP:FAC and maybe have to be removed if we don't get a little more information. Cheers, Jack (talk) 12:54, 9 October 2008 (UTC)


 * I didn't take the picture, but the photographer asked not to be named. Not sure if that's a problem. I can vouch for its status as PD. --Cody Pope (talk) 15:06, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Pan distribution map
Hi Cody!

I'm currently writing my Diploma Thesis in Freiburg in Germany. It is about cytogenetic studies in the Genus Pan, that's why I would really like to include your map of the distribution of the genus pan. It would really improve my introduction to the general theme. Our study here is not invasive to the animals in any way, we only get blood samples from various zoos in europe, samples of Bonobos and Common Chimpanzees. We investigate the location of different genes on the Y chromosomes of these great apes and have so far made some really stunning discoveries. But what we need is some information on how you came to drawing this map and what resources you used, basically where you got the information about the distribution. We would then also like to cite your name in the Thesis, and also maybe in a follow-up publication, if you don't mind. Your map is simply the best that we found throughout the literature.

Please contact me about this!

Thanks in advance

Opossum 1.jpg used on History channel.
I saw you credited on the History channel's show American Pickers, episode 2.23 "The Possum Trot". They used File:Opossum 1.jpg - great photo. -- Jeandré, 2012-03-05t19:04z

Non-free rationale for File:Refugia.png
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Refugia.png. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 21:43, 27 June 2012 (UTC)

Photo usage
Hi, I'm working on an educational videogame with which I'm trying to build a bridge between animal awareness and Pokemon fans among others. It started out as something small and I contacted you before but it's getting bigger and more professional and I wanted to make sure you were ok with it. I saw your pictures: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Opossum_2.jpg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Sea_lion_australia.jpg

And I would like your permission to use them under those licenses with the following attribution: Cody Pope, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Cody.pope

Also, because I want to make sure there's no misunderstanding, you are the original photographer correct? It sometimes happens that another person simply takes a picture from somebody else and uploads it to wikipedia with a license to distribute. That is why I'm asking.

There is more information on the game here, including a short video that tells a little bit about the background: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/238178285/animalalbum

I also have a demo version of the game available so you can see for yourself in what way the pictures are presented: http://dromedarydreams.com/index/demo/0-8

Please let me know if I have your permission, if the pictures are yours and if you want a different attribution.

With kind regards, Sjors Jansen (all.animalalbum@gmail.com) Garfunkel Jansen (talk) 07:02, 28 May 2014 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Biliape.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Biliape.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the file description page and add the text   below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing   with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
 * 2) On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 15:47, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
