Hey! Thanks for finding the free licensed replacement image. But I was wondering, is it possible for us (as in, WP) to crop it horizontally a bit so that there is more detail on her face? Would we have to contact the image's creator? I'm not too familiar with creative commons licenses. Cheers, Kasreyn 23:35, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi - Wrong user I am afraid - I only started the article with a short stub (it is clear from the History page). I have passed on the message to the actual user and deleted from my discussion page.

Hi, thanks for bringing that to my notice. I cleaned the article up, to remove any possible violation. If there still is a violation, let me know. Thanks. --Ageo020 00:01, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Adminship
Hi, I was surprised to find out that you apparently aren't an admin. Would you like me to nominate you, or at the least encourage you to self-nominate? You seem to have been working productively for a long time and you do at least one admin-type thing regularly (deal with copyvios), so I think you could make good use of the tools. Let me know if you're interested. --W.marsh 18:50, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Sure, just let me know when. --W.marsh 21:35, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Unless I'm wrong, you seem to have deleted the entire "Gable stone" article. Could you put it back please, or make another suggestion? TobyJ 10:03, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

Re: Copyvio
WP:FU is somewhat vague but really only seems to apply to using attributed quotations, which fits in with my understanding of fair use. Unattributed use of (not quotations from) a text are not really fair use of someones copyrighted work, I would say. I would say that the article is a copyvio and needs to be rewritten, the argument that it's fair use to chop up and not attribute text is incorrect. --W.marsh 00:56, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

Belated thanks
Thank you for participating in my RfA. Consensus to promote was reached, and I am now an administrator. I'll be using the tools cautiously at first, and everyone should feel welcome to peer over my shoulder and make sure I'm not doing anything foolish. --RobthTalk 04:13, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

Palin-drome
I certainly can - The Pythons Autobiography By The Pythons; Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, Michael Palin, John Chapman, David Sherlock, Bob McCabe; Thomas Dunne Books; 2003. I forget which page exactly.--Crestville 13:00, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I've still got it. If your library doesn't have it I'd suggest a trip to Waterstones and fork out a tenner or whatever for the paperback. Better yet, check ebay and amazon. It's a facinating book, full of arguments John Cleese had with everyone but Michael Palin and Palin and Idle sneaking off the set of Holy Grail to smoke weed whule Chapman suffers from DTs--Crestville 09:31, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Trivia in Monty Pythons
Hi Garion, I need your advice before (and if) I proceed, to avoid creating any needless conflicts. In my opinion, the trivia section of MP is getting to be somewhat of a mess for a "good" article. I thought I might put some order in terms of relevant content (if it applies to MP in general, or if it goes in particular topics), and/or in terms of chronology. The top entry has increasing links on military issues and no link for Life of Brian. I have a feeling I should be very careful with tampering. --Hoverfish 09:14, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Re: Can we link it
Hi Garion96 - For sure, you can add the "can we link it" tool to WikiProject Wikify. The reason for the temporariness is that I don't want to host the site indefinitely (e.g. could be good to move it the Wikimedia tool server, or another host, but it uses a lot of memory storing the index - around 600 Mb - which makes it more complicated to host than a standard PHP site). However, at least in the short term (say for the next week) it should stay up, even if in the medium-to-long term I'm not sure what'll happen to it. Even so, seems to me that a tool of this type can only really help a project like Wikify, and if the site goes down I'll make the data about which links are good and which are bad publicly available (in case other projects want to use this), and the source code is already available under the GPLv2 (so anyone is free to set up a site that does what the current site does). So, I've now added it the WikiProject Wikify page, under the tools section, and if the site goes down I'll remove it from the tools list. -- All the best, Nickj (t) 10:45, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

Reply
In fact, it says that, contrary to prior news reports of him dying of AIDS, it was later confirmed that he died of a kidney-malfunction, ajanslara düşen bir haberle kulaklara çalındı: “Majid Musisi 38 yaşında AIDS’den öldü.” (Sonraları ölüm sebebinin AIDS değil, böbrek yetmezliği olduğu belirtildi.) - "böbrek yetmezliği" means kidney malfunction.. The newspaper seems to be reliable, it is a weekly Turkish-Jewish newspaper, it is the first time I ran into it on the Net, even though I had seen it on sale in Turkey.. It is the newspaper of Turkish Jews, who are descendants of Spanish Jews who were expelled from Spain during Spanish reconquisista and settled in the Ottoman Empire that gave them refuge at the time. Take care, I am happy if I could be of some help :)) Baristarim 21:37, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Juan Downey
I spoke with someone who knew Juan and he told me that Juan did not really want to talk about his illness, but he probably died from cancer as the symptoms that Juan had were like cancer, not AIDS. He was not reported as dying from AIDS in his New York Times obituary. I have not found any other report except for that web site that you showed me. If you have any more information please let me know, I will try and confirm it, if at all possible. Alex756 19:54, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

The license requires attribution which is clear - many users will not realise that further information is availiable if you click on an image. Besides, it is extremely rude to people not to give them credit which is clearly stated when these people have donated their images for free. Arniep 22:06, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Legally you do as the license requires attribution which is clearly stated, not hidden away on a page that many people will not even know how to access or even whether it is there or not. Arniep 22:15, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Fair use images in lists
Hello, I see you have contributed your thoughts to Wikipedia talk:Fair use/Fair use images in lists. It's been dead for a while, but I have archived it and taken a new fresh start. I hope this time we will be able to achieve something as I have summarized the main points of both sides (feel free to improve them) and I call you to express your support or oppose on the concrete proposal that I have formulated. Thanks, Renata 02:26, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Unsourced HIV positive people
I'm thinking of adding a statement to the talk page of each article in your list of unsourced HIV positive people. It would say something like, "It has been suggested that the subject of this article is eligible for inclusion in the list of HIV-positive people. If you know of any reliable source that helps to clarify this person's HIV status then please mention it on the list's talk page." What do you think? Trezatium 19:47, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Regarding the sourcing of the image at List of HIV-positive people
I noticed that you nominated List of HIV-positive people as a featured list. You may then be interested in the status of Image:Pedro Zamora.jpg; it is currently a candidate for speedy deletion. I nominated it thus because the given source is http://images.google.com/; I do not consider that to be a valid source. I have detailed my rationale on the image description page. If you wish to, please comment at relevant talk page and not at my talk page. I am watching Image:Pedro Zamora.jpg and will reply promptly. Thank you &mdash; Iamunknown 02:16, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Esquerita's death
Hello,

The guys at Norton Records had done articles on Esquerita from interviews that they had with him and I think that maybe one of those articles may have mentioned him having died of AIDS. I can't remember for sure. You could contact somebody at www.nortonrecords.com and ask for sure. They are pretty cool about answering stuff about Esquerita.

It's a shame there isn't more info out there. It would be nice if someone did some interviews with Little Richard before he passes away. He was pretty close with Esquerita and it would be interesting to find out what he knew about his life during the 70's and 80's.

Sorry I'm not much help, but you could try someone at Norton.

Take care. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Eskew (talk • contribs). 23:39, 8 January 2007
