Copyright ownership

 * - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:%28R-to-F%29_Walter_Fauntroy,_Thierry_Mayssan,_Lizzie_Phelan,_August_28th_2011_South_Mediterranean.jpg Hi - did you take this photo? Have you got the original? Are you the owner of the copyright? Off2riorob (talk) 01:43, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
 * - I answered to that already. The picture is copyright-free, as it was first published in a copyright-free publication which allows its republication under fair use. Hi to you too GrandPhilliesFan (talk) 07:39, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
 * There is no evidence of that, have you go any? Off2riorob (talk) 13:57, 27 October 2011 (UTC)


 * 'There is no evidence correction: you have no evidence. Fortunately, Universal knowledge does not overlap wth yours. Cheers GrandPhilliesFan (talk) 14:34, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
 * You as the uploader are the one that needs the evidence - or without it is shouldn't be here and I will request it deleted. Are the links you are providing working for you? Is the picure a composite or a real time single photograph? Also, if the picture is decided to be commons licensed could we/you attempt to upload it the wikipedia commons where it will be available to multiple projects and where I can make derivatives of it as it currently needs splitting in the article it is in, the picture is more correct of the subject alone and not of a group of people, thanks - Off2riorob (talk) 14:51, 27 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Please assume good faith and wait until say tomorrow that the Voltairenet site is re-established, you will find the copyleft information on it. GrandPhilliesFan (talk) 15:21, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I assume good faith, that does not restrict me, in fact it requests of me to investigate and determine ownership of uploads, thanks - Off2riorob (talk) 15:24, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

old account?
Have you had an account here before? the structure of your responses at AFD seem familar to me rather than you being a nobody to me. (bear in mind you don't have to answer this and if you don't want to, just delete it). --Cameron Scott (talk) 09:53, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

Namely you mean Am I ''' D r e a m Focus. Answer: No, I am not Have I edited WP before? The answer is yes, a long time ago, although some may challenge this point. Is it my very first account? The answer is yes. GrandPhilliesFan (talk) 10:42, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

October 2011
Your recent edits seem to have the appearance of edit warring&#32; after a review of the reverts you have made on Centre d'Etudes Diplomatiques et Stratégiques. Users are expected to collaborate and discuss with others and avoid editing disruptively. Please be particularly aware, the three-revert rule states that: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss the changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Crusio (talk) 11:52, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) Making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block.
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

File copyright problem with File:Dehaene & Changeux 2005 PLOS (ccreative commons).png
Thank you for uploading File:Dehaene & Changeux 2005 PLOS (ccreative commons).png. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright and licensing status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can verify that it has an acceptable license status and a verifiable source. Please add this information by editing the image description page. You may refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is [ a list of your uploads].

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Eeekster (talk) 21:44, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Solved: I have added the appropriate license tag. --Crusio (talk) 06:47, 28 October 2011 (UTC)

Userfied new, New World Order
GrandPhilliesFan - I userfied the article for you. It is now in your user space to work on as necessary here User:GrandPhilliesFan/Drafts/New New World Order (politics) Later today, I will try and provide you some advice on how to proceed. At the moment I am recovering from a week of travel and am getting prepared for a trip that starts tomorrow. --Mike Cline (talk) 14:34, 29 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Here's how I might proceed with this article if I were a relatively new editor. First, understand that because this topic has already been deleted once, it will get more scrutiny when it shows up again.  Knowing that, you'll have to be especially cognizant of both notability and OR issues as you work on this article.  I really see two tracks here. 1) Familiarize yourself as much as possible with notability, verifiability and Original Research policies.  Read the discussion pages on these policies to see how others are interpreting them.  Take a look at and monitor the different noticeboards on related to these policies--No original research/Noticeboard for example.  These boards will allow you to see how others deal with and interpret specific content issues.  Above all, review the structure and content of other political doctrine type articles to see how the community has written for this type of content in the past.  2)Like you'd do for any good research paper, begin to outline the new article.  If New, New World Order is indeed notable and there are sources to back it up, focus on explaining it in a clear, concise encyclopedic way. Avoid including periferal content that might lead others to believe you are engaging in Original Research.  Stick to what the sources say about New, New World Order.  Even if the resulting article is only 25% of what it is now, that's OK.  Don't get in a hurry.  Do the reasearch, both on policy and the articles content. 3)Ask others for help.  If you have a specfic question whether specific content you would like to include is OR, ask the question on the OR noticeboard and accept the advice of the community.  The same goes for notability and source reliability questions.  Enlist the support of WikiProjects such as WikiProject Cold War for their guidance. Additionally, you can always ask me on my talk page any question you want.  When and if you get the article ready for the mainspace, I'll give you a hand getting it there.  Good Luck--Mike Cline (talk) 17:22, 29 October 2011 (UTC)

Thank you very much Sir. In first review, I see that the section about the "Obama bowing controversy" has to be removed as no article that I know of associates it with the concept of an NNWO. yet we can make a whole article on it - with due care for neutrality - as it received immense coverage and I have found at least ten reliable third party sources. Having mentioned the event in the past, I remembered it had been very notable. So I suggest refitting the article, a removal of the Obama bowing section to a full article with additional pictures per the British coverage that actually provided them all in this order which would include the picture with Doug MacArthur and a complete rephrasing of the "scholarly overview". Maybe the original contributor had actually read this article... I'll also underline that NNWO is more of a journalist term that was appropriated by the community in geopolitics like the BRICS. Then I'll wait for your approval to air it. enjoy your trip --GrandPhilliesFan (talk) 14:12, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

Changes to your userfied draft article
Just a note to explain the message above. Images used in Wikipedia are of two kinds: most are "free" with no restriction on their use, which are normally stored in "Commons", a separate organization which stores images for use in any Wikimedia project. As the aim is that everything in Wikipedia shall as far as possible be free of any copyright issues, those are preferred wherever possible; however, there are also images for which it is possible to make a case under so-called "Fair use" rules and (though it is controversial) they are allowed in the English Wikipedia (though not in some others) subject to very stringent conditions - see WP:NFCC, where they must meet all ten of the conditions listed. Book or album covers often fall into this class. Condition number 7 is that the image must actually be in use in at least one article. Of the images in the New New World Order article, most were free images from Commons, but the one of the cover of Brzezinski's book was a non-free image and, as it was now in a userspace draft and not an article, no longer allowable under the NFCC rules. The message just above is from a "bot" (an automatic system) which detected this and removed the image. If the article is eventually returned to the main encyclopedia, the image can be restored.

I have also made two housekeeping changes to the userfied page, adding the Userspace draft template at the top to make clear its status and "commenting out" the "Categories" at the foot of the page by putting   around them so that they are deactivated - the Mediawiki software ignores them - and the draft article does not show up in the relevant categories while it is still in user space.

Let me know if you have any questions about this. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 18:08, 30 October 2011 (UTC)


 * GrandPhilliesFan, it has been three weeks since the New New World Order has been moved to your user space for editing, and you haven't as much as touched it since then. If you have no intention of editing it per your comments on the DRV, please let an admin know and we'll remove the article. Pages are moved to userspace as a temporary measure, not as a long term solution. Owen&times; &#9742;  02:33, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

I do not think that you should wait until the article is approved before working on it. That approval may depend precisely on whether you do work on it. For instance, I am often willing to work on English issues, but I am afraid to get too deeply into this one because I am not certain I understand it. Just saying.
