About "Uncle Bus" Article
Please do not change the name of the article any more, the article was created by me and I have already explained why it should be called "Uncle Bus" in Wikipedia in the article "Bus Uncle". --- CMB Transit, May 26, 2006, 16:01 (BST)

If you really feel that the title of the topic should change, you are always welcomed to have an arguement with me off the Wiki system. DO NOT modify it yourself before we have discussed about it and have come up with a final decision, I've reverted your changes just because you didn't ask my permission as the creator/starter of the topic. By the way, the topic has already established its fame so I think it is more imappropriate to change the title now. --- CMB Transit, May 26, 2006, 17:31 (BST)

The Anti-Vandalism Barnstar


Hereby, I award Jerry Crimson Mann with the Anti-Vandalism Barnstar for actively and untiredly dealing with Vandalism on many Hong Kong-related articles.

Xiangqi image
Hello! Thank you for adding very nice pictures to Xiangqi! They significantly improved the article. One image still is not yet Ok, this is which was intended to show checkmate situation. However it is not checkmate, black can capture red pawn with his advisor. After that the red cannon doesn't attack the black king anymore. You can fix this e.g. by replacing this red pawn with a black advisor. Andreas Kaufmann 13:31, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

This is checkmate. Nomatter whose turn it is, the black side loses. If it's the red side's turn, the player can do a cannon jumpover and capture the king. At the same time, if it's the black's turn, nomatter what the player does, the cannon is still in the checking place. Nothing can be avoided. Deryck C. 07:22, 14 July 2005 (UTC)

About the Locator Maps for the 18 Districts of Hong Kong
Hi, Jerry. Several weeks ago, we have been talking about a project for making the maps of the position of a particular district within the territory of the Hong Kong SAR (the so-called "highlight map"). Actually, I have been making a new version for the highlight maps that I uploaded before, as you said that the old version was not very good. :-P After replacing the old versions with the new versions, I started to make the map for some more districts. But as I was about to upload my map for Central and Western District, I saw that you have made another version too, and you have made a template. The template is super great! (I modified it for a little bit) Thank you for your contribution! But I think your highlight is not clear enough (because of the colour combinations). I tried to put the one that I made into the template, and see whether it looks good. You may go to the page and see whether it is good. (I have made the maps for Sha Tin, Tai Po, Sai Kung, Tuen Mun and Central already.) Alanmak 22:23, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

Map of Hong Kong
Great map! Immense effort appreciated! However, some minor errors. I'm sure that Ap Lei Chau, Green Island and some other islands around Hong Kong Island are administered by the district councils on the island, not "Outlying Islands". Dragons Bay
 * Right... in fact not many islands are part of the Islands District. Only Lamma, Hei Ling Chau, The Brothers, Kau Yi Chau, Soko Islands, Po Toi Islands, Peng Chau, etc., are part of it, but not Kau Sai Chau, High Islands, Ping Chau, Round Island (Ngan Chau), Middle Island (Tong Po Chau), Magazine Island (Fo Yeuk Chau). Ma Wan and the northeastern corner of Lantau, including Yam O and the majority of Penny's Bay, is part of Tsuen Wan District. And again, it would be great to have the maritime boundaries between the districts, and between Hong Kong and the mainland. &mdash; Instantnood 15:59, July 24, 2005 (UTC)
 * Umm... let me know when u're not sure, and I'll tell who's in who's out. And in fact you can read the district council constituency maps, which are available at the external links section of the district articles on Wikipedia. &mdash; Instantnood 16:10, July 24, 2005 (UTC)

r u sure that the chain store part should occupy another page? I dun think that deserves an independent entry. :-( --K.C. Tang 16:47, 24 July 2005 (UTC)


 * I think the principle should be that something deserves an independent entry when it is either informational (like the division of HK districts) or interesting or both (like the HK flag articel :-D). R there any official guideline for that? I am not sure ... By the way, r u sure that there r traditional Dai Pai Dong in Wan Chai? where r they located? i am thinking to go to take some photos for the article. --K.C. Tang 06:57, 25 July 2005 (UTC)


 * Yeah, Central and Sham Shi Po is a must; i just wonder where the dai pai dong are located in Wan Chai. --K.C. Tang 07:04, 25 July 2005 (UTC)


 * that doesn;t matter... talking about Wan Chai, I have just created the Lee Tung Street article, u could help if u've got more information. :-D --K.C. Tang 07:51, 25 July 2005 (UTC)


 * O, u have already mentioned that! I am too careless, I should've taken a look at the Wan Chai article first. u think it appropriate to merge my little entry into the big article? --K.C. Tang 08:02, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

About the district maps again
I think what you meaned was that it is a little bit girlish to put Khaki and pink together, eh? :-P Well, but at least it makes a clearer indication than the versions that use grey, white or green to indicate the landmass. But generally, I believe that we just have to, based on the khaki-and-pink version that I have just made, and modify the colours so that it looks nicer. (We can discuss about the use of colour with some Hong Kong Wikipedians.) Other than the combination of the colours, I think everything else works out pretty well. (Do you agree with that? :-) ) For instance, since the map is used to indicate the position of a district within the territory of the Hong Kong SAR, we don't have to include any part of Shenzhen or any zoom-out map showing the entire China. This was done in the khaki-and-pink version that I have just made. Also, it would be a good idea to add two square boxes at the left-hand upper corner showing which colour is for which. This was also done. Again, we may discuss with some Hong Kong Wikipedians to get some inspirations.

By the way, I have a silly question to ask. What is the difference between JPG and PNG formats? PNG is a pretty new format to me. I used to use JPG for any graphics that I made. Why is it better to use PNG? What is the principle behind? Would the size of the image file be larger if we use PNG?

Again, thank you for your effort on the template. It is really good and well-organized to use a template. But the reason why I prefer using "Hong Kong Special Administrative Region" to using "Hong Kong" is that many foreign readers - like those Americans :-P, who are not care about international affairs at all, may still think that Hong Kong is an country. As a result, they may think that those 18 districts are the provinces in a country, rather than the sub-divisions within a province-level city. (Especially if those maps don't have the scales, they don't know that everything in the map is just something within a city.) Well, Wikipedia should take care of those "silly" people. :-P It is no harm to write "Hong Kong Special Administrative Region." Furthermore, I heard that, in the flag-raising ceremony at Wanchai on 1/7/2005, the English M.C. also said "Hong Kong Special Administrative Region" EVERY TIME! So, it is pretty official to say in that way. :-P

Another thing... In your user page in Wikipedia, you said you know a little bit Japanese. And in your ICQ info, you said you are going to learn French. It is really good to be multi-lingual! I have started learning German too. Maybe we can contribute to some Hong Kong-related articles in those Wikipedias in foreign languages. For example, recently I have contributed these: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bild:Karte_von_Hongkong_mit_Ortsnamen.png http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bild:WusteGobi.jpg

As a Chinese, I really think it is pretty sad that Chinese Wikipedia has very few articles (a lot less that English, German, Japanese Wikipedias) even China is the mosyt populous country in the world. But frankly speaking, some articles in Chinese Wikipedia are pretty crappy. I don't have the motive to improve Chinese Wikimedia if I have to do it alone. As you are an active participant in Wikipedia, should we encourage other Hong Kong Wikipedians to contribute more in Chinese Wikipedia and the Wikipedias in foreign languages?

Recently, I see that there is a "Cantonese Wikipedia" under test. Those "words" used in Cantonese Wikipedia are not even words at all! It even promotes some bad culture of using Chinese language. Hm...I think most of the participants there are Hong Kongers. What do you think about that? :-/

Er, are you sure you want to be writing "evidence of evolution"? I mean, it's not as if (1) it is really needed, and (2) since nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution, you're going to be attempting to write the whole of natural history.

I saw that you tagged Image:Happycorner.jpg with Template:PD-China. However, I believe that template is inapproprate since the image is less than 50 years old. The image is also imprinted with a non GFDL compliant restriction. If the image is to remain on wikipedia, it must be released either under GFDL or into the public domain. --Jiang 17:37, 3 August 2005 (UTC)


 * I note that you've now tagged the image as being under the GFDL. The "Wikipedia only" restriction that's embedded in the image itself is incompatible with the GFDL, and the image compresses better as a PNG, so I'm making the derivative version Image:Happycorner.png with the restriction notice removed. Just keeping you informed of this. Bryan 17:41, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

One more thing, a section about the legality of flag desrecration can be started. I have found this: http://law.hku.hk/lawof/UploadFile/986.htm:

"ANOTHER CONVICTION FOR FLAG DESECRATION

April Fifth Action Group activist Leung Kwok-hung is no stranger to the law banning the desecration of the Chinese and Hong Kong flags and emblems. He was convicted for a second time in March 2002 and fined HK$3,000, along with another group member, Koo Sze-yiu. The pair were charged in connection with a demonstration in Central in May 2001. The court heard that two petals of Hong Kong’s bauhinia emblem had been blacked out.

Mr Leung argued that everyone should be entitled to exercise freedom of expression, and that the law under which he was prosecuted, the Regional Flag and Regional Emblem Ordinance, should be scrapped.

However, the magistrate did not see the case in this light. In addition to fining the pair, he ordered Mr Leung to pay the HK$3,000 good-behaviour bond imposed on him in February 2001 for his first offence. The pair’s supporters paid their fines, which meant they did not have to serve jail terms. Mr Leung said at the time of his first conviction that he would not appeal against the sentence because he did not believe he could win.

A previous desecration case—the first since the relevant laws were enacted in July 1997—went all the way to the Court of Final Appeal. The Court of Appeal found in favour of two activists accused of desecrating the Chinese flag, arguing that the laws were an unnecessary restriction on freedom of expression, and therefore in breach of both the Basic Law and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. But the Court of Final Appeal re-imposed the guilty verdicts imposed by a lower court, arguing that the laws imposed a permissible restriction on freedom of expression.

Four weeks after their conviction in the flag desecration case, Leung Kwok-hung and Koo Sze-yiu were jailed for 14 days for shouting slogans in the Legislative Council chamber during a question-and-answer session with the chief executive, Tung Chee-hwa. That incident took place in October 2001, shortly after Mr Tung delivered his annual policy address. It was the fifth time Mr Leung had disrupted a Legislative Council session, and the second time he had gone to jail. The activist said it was unfair to jail him as he had only been expressing his political opinions." Thoughts? Zscout370 (Sound Off) 19:26, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

Template & Collaboration
Hey Jerry. Lemme try to explain the title tool first. In Chinese wikipedia, u can use -{T| correct title }- to modify the title; and with the new title, you can even apply regional translations, so the whole title modifier can become e.g. -{T|zh-cn:布什;zh-tw:布希;zh-hk:布殊}-. I don't know who exactly invented this small but mighty tool, but since it looks like it's unique to Chinese wikipedia, I suspect it comes from zh:user:zhengzhu, who invented the entire Simp/Trad translation system in Chinese wikipedia.

There's also something called "A標籤" in Chinese wikipedia and I can't seem to work out what it is. I suspect it's a translation system that applies throughout the entire article, rather than for an individual case like -{zh-cn:布什;zh-tw:布希;zh-hk:布殊}-. I tried googling zh.wikipedia.org but to no avail.

As for collaboration between zh and en HK users... I'm afraid I won't be of much use in leading the project, since I'm currently back in London and will be quite busy with work. I'd be happy to do take part if time allows me to do so, though. Hello World from Chinese Wikipedia seems to be the most active Hong Konger over there, and he's an admin too -- so I suggest you contact him instead if you have any collaboration projects in mind? Good luck! -- Tonync 21:06, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

Title template
The template you referred to in page am730 is specifically implemented in the software for the Chinese wikipedia, mainly to support cutomized conversion between traditional and simplified Chinese in the title, but people quickly found out that it can be used for other purposes as well, like the case of am730. It is fairly easy to implement this function for other languages like English, and I will be happy to do so. However you should first check with the the specific language community to see if such feature is desirable. I suggest you ask around at village pump or post to wikipedia-l and wikitech-l, and contact me again. (I am kind of on break now, with new jobs and everything...)

The maps for UrbCo and RegCo will basically be Hong Kong Island + Kowloon + New Kowloon, and the rest, respectively. But since they're scrapped in 2000 we cannot show the current (2005) coastline.

I received your message, Jerry. Actually, I don't know much information about that. I nominated these two articles mainly because I want to know more about that. :-) But anyway, should we make an outline first - like what information should be included, and what should not be include? In that way, we can have the "headings" for each section of the article first. I think the picture (masterpiece? :-D) that you guys are talking about can be added later. The texts should be ready first. - Alanmak 20:55, 7 August 2005 (UTC)

cyanide
Hi Jerry, you wrote, of course cyanide is reversible...otherwise who has swallowed cyanide MUST die.... This is not true. Once cyanide binds complex IV it will not come off. Whether you die depends on how much cyanide is swallowed not whether it's binding can be reversed. If you swallow enough to          itochondria you are dead. That is not the only reason it is a bad example for non competitive inhibition since cyanide does bind the active site and competes with oxygen for that active site! This example is more like a suicide inhibitor. David D. (Talk) 16:16, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Hi jerry I did some more research and you are right with regard to the non competitive nature. With a google search i found web sites claoming competitive and non competitive. However, I trust the following source:


 * http://arjournals.annualreviews.org/doi/full/10.1146/annurev.pharmtox.40.1.353
 * Quoted from the text:
 * Inhibitors of Complex IV, Cytochrome c Oxidase


 * Complex IV, cytochrome c oxidase (COX) (EC 1.9.3.1) is a heme/copper terminal oxidase that uses cytochrome c as electron donor (Figure 1C). According to the classification by Nicholls & Chance (40), COX inhibitors fall into four categories: (a) heme-binding inhibitors that are noncompetitive with both O2 and cytochrome c (e.g. azide, cyanide, and sulfide), (b) inhibitors competitive with oxygen, such as carbon monoxide (CO) and nitric oxide (NO), (c) inhibitors competitive with cytochrome c (polycations); and (d) noncompetitive inhibitors not affecting the heme groups, such as phosphate ions and alkaline pH.


 * With regard to reversible or irreversible, again i found claims for both but nothing concrete. More research is needed but I still tend towards if not irreversible then 'effectively' irreversible. David D. (Talk) 18:57, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
 * I just noticed that the wiki page for cytochrome c oxidase claims irreversible for cyanide. I'm not sure of the basis for this claim. David D. (Talk) 22:28, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

Image Tagging
Thanks for uploading  and Image:Nuwatemple.jpg. I notice they currently don't have an image copyright tag, so their copyright status is therefore unclear. Please add a tag to let us know its copyright status. (If you created/took the pictures then you can use to release it under the GFDL. If you can claim fair use use  .)  If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know on the image description page where you got the images and I'll tag them for you. Otherwise, see Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use. Thanks so much. --Thryduulf 16:39, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

Image Copyright Problem RE:Image:MJ tiles.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:MJ tiles.jpg. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law. We need you to specify two things on the image description page:
 * The copyright holder, and
 * The copyright status

The copyright holder is usually the creator. If the creator was paid to make this image, then their employer may be the copyright holder. If several people collaborated, then there may be more than one copyright holder. If you created this image, then you are the copyright holder.

Because of the large number of images on Wikipedia, we've sorted them using image copyright tags. Just find the right tag corresponding to the copyright status of this image, and paste it onto the image description page like this:.

There are 3 basic ways to licence an image on Wikipedia:
 * An open content licence
 * Public Domain
 * Fair Use


 * The copyright holder gets the best protection of his work by licencing their work under an open content license like the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike licence. If you have the express permission of the copyright holder to licence their work under the above licence, use the image copyright tag: cc-by-sa-2.5.  The GNU Free Documentation License is another choice for licencing one's work.  Again, if you have the express permission of the copyright holder, use the tag: GFDL.


 * The copyright holder can also release his work into the public domain, see here for images released into the public domain.


 * Images from certain sources are automatically release into the Public Domain. This is true for most governments like the federal United States government. (See   here  for images from the government of the USA and here for other governments)  However not all governments release their work into the public domain, such as the UK government (See herefor images from the UK government).  Non-free licence governments are listed here.


 * Also, in some cases, an image is copyrighted but allowed on Wikipedia because of Fair Use. To see if this image qualifies and then how to tag it, see Fair use.

For any other sources of for more information see Image copyright tags. Please remember that if you don't tag your images, they will be deleted.


 * P.S. If you have uploaded other images without including copyright tags, please go back and tag them.  Also, please tag all images that you upload in the future.

If you have any questions, just leave a message on my talk page. Thanks again. --Thryduulf 16:41, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

Hong Kong-pronunciation
I saw that you made a pronunciation file to go with Hong Kong. Do you think you could make a another one with just "Hong Kong" (in Cantonese) since the short form is the one actually used outside of official or very formal situations.

Arbitration case Instantnood 2 closed
The Arbitration case on which you commented, Requests for arbitration/Instantnood 2, has closed. The Committee's decision is as follows:

Instantnood, Huaiwei, and SchmuckyTheCat are all placed on Probation for topics relating to China for a year. This means that any sysop, in the exercise of their judgement for reasonable cause, documented in a section of this decision, may ban them from any article which relates to China which they disrupt by inappropriate editing. In doing so, the sysop must notify the banned user on their talk page, and a note must also placed on WP:AN/I. They may post suggestions on the talk page of any article from which they are banned from editing. This remedy is crafted to permit them to continue to edit articles in these areas which are not sources of controversy. In addition to this, Instantnood is restricted to proposing only one page move, poll of editors, or policy change relating to Naming conventions (Chinese) per week, and reminded to make useful edit summaries.

 Agree. Don't think it's logical to have wikilinks such as Commonwealth of Australia, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, United States of America, or Swiss Confederation. Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China is no exception.

 * I know that Alan has created a name template, so why doesn't he use that in that case?--K.C. Tang 08:26, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
 * It seems that his rational for deleting the IPA is that it's not good to have too many transliterations incorporated in the first line of an article; on the other hand, i saw that he has created a name template to list the transliterations separately to deal with the issue, and the template can be seen on some articles. Therefore, i dun understand why this time he tried to delete the IPA instead of using the template. It puzzles me, maybe i dun know the whole story. --K.C. Tang 16:46, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

Re: Comments on Alanmak
<cite id=Re:_Comments_on_Alanmak_reply_1> What do you think we should do? &mdash; Instantnood 21:57, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

He seems to quite readily label disagreeing viewpoints as: (pick one) vandalism, selfishness, regional-centrism, sinophobia, bias, independence supporters, political POV pushers, oppurtunists, and so on. On his user page, User:Alanmak, he seems to have targetted you as an individual who needs reverting. But regardless of personal attacks or disagreements, a person who lacks concensus and is unwilling to build it won't be able to push their viewpoints for long. If you manage to build concensus with everyone else, there's only so many reverts he can do. After that is the choice between trying to build concensus with other users, or a ban for violation of the 3RR. --Yuje 09:18, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use GFDL to release it under the GFDL.

 * "I redrew the third diagram accarding to Biological Science by Oxford University Press. I don't really understand why you are confused? The active site doesn't cover up the entire substrate if the size of the substrate isn't appropriate. And you're the only here to complain. -- Jerry Crimson Mann 16:07, 16 February 2006 (UTC)"


 * The reason the 3rd figure is unclear is because it is not clear what the active site is, when I clicked on the figure I saw little circles, is that supposed to indicate the active site? If so it is both unclear and unrealistic.  Clarity is the main problem with all the figures currently in use, yes if I click on them and look at the full size figure they are clear for the most part, however as is, they really don't work.  Perhaps the reason I'm the only one complaining is that I'm the only Real Enzymologist working on the article. Hichris 18:22, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Chinese Wikipedia Conference!
Hey Jerry, haven't seen you around in Chinese Wikipedia. Hope everything's going well. As you probably know, Chinese Wikipedia is organising its first Wikipedians Conference (formerly known as Chinese Wikimania, but the name is abandoned due to copyright reasons). After a round of voting, Hong Kong has been nominated as host city. If you'd like to help out, please do join the local Working Committee. It seems like Chinese University is quite likely to be the venue for the event. One way I'm sure you can help though, is by using your magnificient graphics skills for the conference's official logo.

help wanted
I need your help. I am a new member of wikipeida. I find the article of "Tibet" or "history of tibet" in wikipeida is very biased towards pro-independent Tibetans. I have strong evidence to prove what I said. I made some edit and added some important facts. However, they are deleted. The problem is: I am not familiar with the rules of wikipeida and I probable won't have time to get familiar with it. So, I need your help so that truth can be known by people. You can find my deleted versions in the history of that topic. The main source of my information is in the following. This is probably the most complete and detailed information source on the Tibet issue. But it is not listed in the reference list of Tibet page yet. I remember the content of this website is from Chinese government’s white paper on Tibet issue. If you go to the official website of Tibetan in exiles, you will find that although they are very unhappy with these information. They could not point out any major problems about these facts. It would be better if you can have a quick look of this website and add whatever information you want.

"The historical status of tibet", by China internet information center. It cab be found at the website of:

Thanks for uploading Image:MJ gameplay.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read carefully the instructions at Fair use and then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies.

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. Random user123 19:43, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Caritaslogo.png
Thanks for uploading Image:Caritaslogo.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages 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 fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation 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.Betacommand (talk • contribs • Bot) 16:18, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Caritaslogo.png
Thanks for uploading Image:Caritaslogo.png. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self-no-disclaimers 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.

Image:Hkhistory.jpg
Hi Mcy jerry,

Im only 14 years old and I would like to wikify the Somaliland page. The article lacks images and pictures, so I wanted to create a "Hitory of Somaliland" infobox like the Hong Kong history infobox that you made.

Therefore, so the infobox looks professional and wikipedia-like, I would like you to create a History of Somaliland picture like the one you made:



I would like to be based on this one and instead you could you use this picture:



and something else.

I would really appreciate very much if help you fellow Wikipedian friends. Also, can you find information on Somaliland-Chinese relationships in the past. This would be really helpful.

Thank You!

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Caritaslogo.png)
Thanks for uploading Image:Caritaslogo.png. 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 for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

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.

Mahjong slang
A template has been added to the article Mahjong slang, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

AfD nomination of Mahjong slang
I've nominated Mahjong slang, an article you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but in this particular case I do not feel that Mahjong slang satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion; I have explained why in the nomination space (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and the Wikipedia deletion policy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Articles for deletion/Mahjong slang and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes ( ~ ). You are free to edit the content of Mahjong slang during the discussion but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion discussion. Thank you. --Gimme danger 21:17, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Use of image Evolution_pl.png in a Dutch Wikibook
Dear Mcy jerry, I am writing a wikibook about evolution in Dutch language. I have used the image Evolution_pl.png, because it is a very beautiful illustration, about homologue organs. To use your image I have done a upload to Wikimedia Commons. You can find the image on and on [].

Replaceable fair use Image:JimChim.png
Thanks for uploading Image:JimChim.png. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the image description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy.

Image source problem with Image:Mark_Young.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Mark_Young.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 20:10, 30 September 2008 (UTC).

The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources.

Speedy deletion nomination of Papua New Guinea stilt house


A tag has been placed on Papua New Guinea stilt house requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://michie.net/pnginfo/stilt.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

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 "Click here to 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 removed 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.

File permission problem with File:Hkecon.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Hkecon.jpg, which you've attributed to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Hk_money.jpg. 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 on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ï¿½ (talk) 20:13, 21 August 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for uploading File:Hk money.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged.

Orphaned non-free image File:Blcover.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:Blcover.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 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 for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 14:27, 9 November 2016 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Central a.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Central a.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. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 22:57, 9 December 2016 (UTC)

Image source problem with File:Hkpol.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Hkpol.jpg.

This image is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such images would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a screenshot of a computer game or movie. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original image must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work.

While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, so the overall copyright status is unclear. If you did not create the original work depicted in this image, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright.

If you have uploaded other derivative works, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created [ in your upload log]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F4 of the criteria for speedy deletion.
