Please remember to mark your edits as minor when (and only when) they genuinely are minor edits (see Minor edit). Marking a major change as a minor one (and vice versa) is considered poor etiquette. The rule of thumb is that only an edit that consists solely of spelling corrections, formatting changes, or rearranging of text without modifying content should be flagged as a 'minor edit.'

Thanks for the Burningman airport information! I will back to tap your knowledge of the subject. Just to let you know, I did cleaned up a little of what you wrote. Jtmurphy (talk) 18:16, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Re: Do17z wikifilm.jpg
Hello Melesse,

You created a reduced version of an already reduced scan that was purposely cropped in such a way as not to have a complete image of a subject and frame. The reason the original was so large was for researchers could see the details of the audio track, the details on the aircraft and anything else someone may find interesting. I did not find any size limits on Fair Use images. Here is link on the discussion http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Media_copyright_questions#Complex_case.2C_or_maybe_easy_one.2C_with_huge_historical_value

I would like to have a larger resolution image, please advise on what is acceptable. --Flightsoffancy (talk) 03:33, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
 * The thing about fair use images is that people are not supposed to be able to make quality copies by printing them from Wikipedia, and your image was originally so big that they probably could. The fair use rules suggest that an image be the smallest possible portion that would allow someone to still recognize the subject of interest (like the cover on a book or album, or a short distinctive music clip). Since your image is being used in three fairly different articles, I would suggest you crop copies with the details relevant to the articles, and upload 3 different sections (For example, the engines for Dornier Do 17. I don't really think high detail is necessary for Die Deutsche Wochenschau or Nitrocellulose). Melesse (talk) 06:33, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Hello,

Personally I think the original prints on the Do 17 page are great! Could you find an appropriate citation for the alleged circumstances of the delivery to the Finnish Air Force of those 15 Dorniers? I think a book source would be appropriate. Bzuk has tagged it for now, but this will have to be removed otherwise. Dapi89 (talk) 20:48, 12 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Dapi89, I think you are asking me to find reference to the detail about the Finnish 17's? I have not read that story before, but I do know it was a gift from Goering to Finland (couple of references).


 * What original printes on the 17 page are you talking about?

Flightsoffancy (talk) 05:06, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Yes citations are needed for ths kind of material. Please cite it as soon as you can. I was refering to the Newsreel image, I take it they are scanned copies of original film? Dapi89 (talk) 14:26, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Everything I know about the film I put on the page for the image. This is basically what I got: http://i2.ebayimg.com/08/i/000/c8/5d/c137_1.JPG While I suspect it is a newsreel, I have yet to find which (found a source), basically it has a generic copyright. I am citing the Fair Use policy to even show it for its unique content. As to the 17z's in Finland, I did not add that piece, someone else did (I don't know if you think I did), and the 17z in my scan is Luftwaffe. I will be careful to add citation to anything I add. S! Flightsoffancy (talk) 22:33, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Yes thats a nice bit of film. The Do 17Z happens to be my personal favourite twin-engined aircraft. I added the information on the Do 215 page about the complete wreckage being found. Lets hope they bring it up! Dapi89 (talk) 19:22, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

He 111
Fair enough. I think I should contact the RAF Museum and tell them they got it wrong. You would think they would know the full story, given they have been responsible for it for the last 63 years! By the way, incase you were wondering how I managed to get a picture of the fuselage interior, I was down that way last year. I simply asked for permission to go over boundry to take a picture of the other side (as you cannot walk around the entire aircraft). I was expecting a instant "no", but the stewards there said yes, and then asked if I would like them to open the bottom barbette to get some interior shots! So I was actually standing on the floor of the museum standing through the hatch and looking inward. I was also able to take some photographs of the Ju 88R cockpit as well, although the angle made it difficult (as of course I could not go in) and I was only able to get some good ones of the port side of the cockpit. Dapi89 (talk) 18:05, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Yes. Very nice. I happen to like the earlier variants of the German bombers better, the Ju 88A, Do 17Z and the He 111P models, for some reason. I was in Norway for Christmas in 2004. I went to the museum but it was shut. Was this particular machine there then?Dapi89 (talk) 17:18, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Nice work. Perhaps it could be cited to the 111 article. Dapi89 (talk) 17:04, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

world war ii online
Hi--I think your recent edit to MMO-FPS seems awkward. Probably those details should be in the main World War II Online article? Anyway, I don't feel strongly enough to revert the change, just a suggestion. Cretog8 (talk) 16:22, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

C-17 development
Hey Flightsoffancy, what were you looking to add to the C-17 Globemaster III article? You mentioned reports and notes on the C-17 talk page. Anything in particular missing from the article? The weight savings effort in the 1980s seems interesting. -Fnlayson (talk) 18:34, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Material on the Dornier Do 17
Hello. I have a question about the above. I am struggling to find material (good stuff with decent research) on this type. Could you recommend any good books that you have come across that relate to the Do 17? Thanks in advance. Dapi89 (talk) 17:58, 18 June 2008 (UTC)


 * One of the best is the "From original to model" series, but its a German book, all German. What are researching it for?  Building a model?  --Flightsoffancy (talk) 14:47, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

No! I already have a R/C '17, although I don't get the chance to fly it/them much. Its one one of my favourites. I generally struggle to find information on this machine, I don't know why and it is most annoying. Dapi89 (talk) 23:25, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

 * It means a Good article. I don't know who put the information in regarding the crew and I hadn't seen it. I always thought it was four. But the info is cited, weird no? I can sort it. Dapi89 (talk) 22:02, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

image
A gaggle (not quite an orderly formation) of 111's from a game seems worthy for the topic (try to find any game image with more then one He-111). Something about image not to your liking? Cheers! Flightsoffancy (talk) 21:03, 24 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Sorry, I was going to replace it with a shot of a 111 from IL2. I was also thinking of using a screen shot from IL2 to demonstrate the layout of the cockpit. I'll have to check if ths is okay. Dapi89 (talk) 10:29, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
 * A CGI cockpit image is nice, but no better then a real He-111 cockpit image. That is why I think an image showing a formation of CGI 111's would better communicate the ability to recreate the experience of being in a formation of He-111's.  IN this example show the dark green camo patterns overs terrain (although not a good terrain).  S! Flightsoffancy (talk) 15:45, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

Jack seaward
Hi. I patrolled your new article on Jack seaward. Firstly, I think his surname should be in capital letters. Secondly, both references list him as Jack Seward rather than Seaward. At present the page Jack Seward exists as a redirect page, and so could be used if this is the correct spelling of his name; however I am not able to use the move function to change the article name. Best wishes and Happy New Year. GILO ACCIDENT & EMERGENCY  02:30, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

Non-free rationale for File:Memorial gathering-WW2 Online.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Memorial gathering-WW2 Online.jpg. 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.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Do17z 20mm.jpg


A tag has been placed on File:Do17z 20mm.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a file licensed as "for non-commercial use only", "no derivative use", "for Wikipedia use only", or "used with permission"; and it has not been shown to comply with the limited standards for the use of non-free content. If you agree with the deletion, there is no need to do anything. If, however, you believe that this image may be retained on Wikipedia under one of the permitted conditions then:
 * state clearly the source of the image. If it has been copied from elsewhere on the web you should provide links to: the image itself, the page which uses it and the page which contains the license conditions.
 * add the relevant copyright tag and if necessary, a complete fair use rationale.

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 deleted 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

File permission problem with File:Do17z 20mm.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Do17z 20mm.jpg, which you've attributed to still from a Nazi-era film. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. 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 in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 00:09, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Good questions, to whit: The still comes from a film established to be out of copyright, that is older than 70 years and now PD. The still is a scan that is a derivative (has been manipulated and not in original form).  Location and year is verifiable, with evidence it was publicly shown.  As to your other question, the remaining images I have posted are all modern (many have been transferred to Commons) Flightsoffancy (talk) 00:30, 4 September 2018 (UTC)

Fair use of File:Do17z 20mm.jpg
Hey, I've been following your thread at WP:MILHIST, just wanted to say I hope you get your image allowed. I'd like to see it, but I'd also like to see you come out ahead of the non-free content police. Some of the legal policies here are ridiculous and some of the users who work in that area a little too over-zealous. This project is missing out on a lot of great, informative, historical or just interesting content because of these rules. Anyway, hope you come on top. Cheers - wolf  16:36, 25 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much for your support! While I totally understand the need to limit Non-Free items, there are times where there is no option and most importantly there is legal allowance for such use. I already have support from others the image is valid, I just have to work though the bureaucracy for final approval.  Thanks again!  Flightsoffancy (talk) 17:48, 25 September 2018 (UTC)
