Dtaw, could you please provide source information for the image you uploaded Image:Seton blockade.jpg? Otherwise people are likely to doubt that it really is in the public domain. It would help too if you could put a date when the blockade occured and the photo was taken. Cheers, Fawcett5 18:10, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Photos
Nearly every photo that I post on Wiki was taken by me. Some exceptions may be PD logos. But photos are mine. And now they are everyones. Enjoy!


 * Dtaw, sounds good. Just make sure to put a note on the image files themselves that you were the photographer, or they are likely to get marked as not having a source, and possibly deleted. Thanks, Fawcett5 19:25, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Seton Portage
Saw your note on the discussion page for Seton Portage; I think we know each other - I lived in the valley in 1996, working for the band (computer guy, worked with the karate club) and remember your place.

I wasn't in the valley at the time of the "Seton Portage Incident" but followed it closely from down here on the Lower Mainland. What I remember is that the dogs, truncheons etc weren't used in the actual arrests, but at the baseball diamond/community hall where non-blockading natives confronted the group of squad cars carrying the arrested elders and children to Lillooet (as they claimed). What I saw in that, knowing the valley, was there was NO WAY the RCMP were going to march on foot as escort to the squad cars over Mission Pass and down the dusty road to Lillooet. There was no reason the arrested protestors couldn't have been taken out by lake, rail or chopper, so the march towards Shalalth from Seton Portage was a deliberate provocation; I seem to remember something about orders all being given in French that day, too, which puts a light on the case of that francophone Mountie who just got busted in Lillooet for being overenthusiastic with his taser.

Other things I remember - Bill Van der Zalm visiting a day or two before and gladhanding everybody - and his silence when the shit hit the fan. Also the efforts of the BC media to collaborate, even hush up the affair. Forced to write articles on it because of BCTV's airing of the videotape from the baseball diamond, the Province claimed there were only 31 officers, the Sun claimed there were 40 - it took the Seattle papers to publish the correct number of 63.

Not sure how to compile all that into the article; but since you live there it's your bailiwick. I hope you like the historical material I added on the Portage and also on Shalalth and the Douglas Road and such; check 'em out.

And re the band population being 160; I'm pretty sure the band population is more like 700, with about 500 of that in the valley. Maybe the 160 you mean is the native population in the Portage?

PS say hi to Edith Lovey for me, and also Ian Boyd who's taken up residence there since I left; he's an old good-bud of mine from Whistler (Mike Cleven's my name).

 * Sorry about the population error. I didn't recall the actual number so I used the number from the reference article. If you know the actual number, please update. I changed the number to 500+, which is probably closer as you suggest.Dtaw2001 20:34, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

Wagner and Bayreuth
Lately I have been adding content and photos to articles related to Richard Wagner and the Bayreuth Festival. I hope you like them.Dtaw2001 12:22, 8 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Wanted to say that I saw your additions to the Bayreuth Festival Article and they looks very good. I wonder if it might be worth adding something about the movie that was made about the festival (see my mention in the Wolfgang Wagner article).   At any event, solid work.  Dottore So 19:41, 10 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Added the documentary reference to the bibliography. Also added new content on modern directors related to Bayreuth under the heading The Wagner Werkstatt. New articles added include Harry Kupfer, Jean-Pierre Ponnelle, Georges Wakhevitch, and Wieland Wagner. The Ponnelle article is fairly complete, but the others are just stubs. Dtaw2001 23:43, 11 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Hello. Would it be possible that you give the source of the image of Winifred and Siegfried Wagner please? It seems to be a scan, did you scan it in a magazine, a book? Can you also add the name of thez author? Thank you! I'd like to move it to commons to use it in the French Wikipedia. Best. notafish }&lt;&#39;;&gt; 01:49, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Quebecois flag.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Quebecois flag.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, 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 unsourced and untagged images 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. - SCEhard T 13:35, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

Don't call my edits vandalism. My edits are well-intentioned, and unlike yours, they use proper English. I provided good reasons for my edits. You must *ASSUME GOOD FAITH* instead of marking something vandalism. Your reverts are actually much closer to vandalism, as you also reverted a number of style and spelling corrections. Bueller 007 16:32, 19 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Removing an entire well-cited section is vandalism. If you don't like the English, correct it, but don't delete important research from articles.Dtaw2001 16:36, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Non-free rationale for File:Meistersingershot.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Meistersingershot.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. Thank you. J Milburn (talk) 18:18, 10 July 2011 (UTC)
