Mig-29
It is from an Armenian magazine, and is an aerial shot. The use of this photo is fair use, do not delete it.--Moosh88 19:04, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Sources on Chinese Yu-series torpedoes
I got the info from various memoirs of those who participated in the Chinese torpedo developments. Also, in the science and achievement awards news in China, I got the some info for Yu-6. Old brochures of the establishments involved in developing torpedoes also provided some info. There is no a single book that provides all the info, but if you go to Dalian Library, you can find more info than other Chinese libraries. You have to be very patient in searching your info because for books published in China in the 1980's and some part of 1990's, there is not any ISBN and domestic Chinese book numbers are rather confusing. You might have better luck searching online. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.106.171.102 (talk) 01:39, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Regarding the Fair use review - I uploaded a new image and added fair use for both articles. I agree that the yoga link wasn't quite clear; would appreciate a look at Yoga series to see if you think this is adequate to link the book to the article. SkierRMH (talk) 08:34, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

Incorrect US-DP Tag
You left me a message about incorrect use of this tag, I agree, I have fixed up the image pages

As I could not prove they were US-PD I changes the tag to be non free and put in reasons and reference

Thanks --Rbaal (talk) 03:43, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

"Amazon price doesn't appear to be notable"
On the other hand, showing a high price for an out-of-print book could be notable -- I'm just not sure where the line should be drawn, so I'm leaving the info removed.--uɐɔlnʌɟoʞǝɹɐs 16:33, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Images & copyright
Thank for your reply to my question. I'm based in the UK. What I'm talking about is old picture postcards showing street scenes etc. I have seen a few suitable pictures on a well-known internet based auction site, and was wondering about the permissibility of using images sourced there to illustrate articles. I'm reluctant to purchase the actual cards as they are outside my area of collecting. Mjroots (talk) 17:07, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Armbrust
Hi there

Unfortunately, all images of this weapon are either from press releases or official (Ministry of Defence/manufacturer) websites. Like many other militaries, the use of cameras is severely restricted in the Singapore Armed Forces, so it is not reasonable to ask someone to snap a picture of this weapon. Furthermore, "live" weapons are only used at the range &mdash; the average soldier may only see this once in their active duty. The weapons they carry on training are "drill" or "inert".

I have attempted searching for PD-USGOV images on Defenselink, without success. So, can this image be considered fair-use or not? Thanks. --Rifleman 82 (talk) 15:32, 17 December 2007 (UTC)


 * I've replied at my talk. Let's carry on there. --Rifleman 82 (talk) 01:58, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on List of film formats/row template, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add  on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the page's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself.

If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox for any other experiments you would like to do. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions about this. PKT (talk) 18:55, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Image copyright etc.
Hi- saw that you referred somebody to User:Peteforsyth/leg (I really should rename that now that it's getting so much attention!) Not sure how you found it, as I'm guessing you're not an Oregonian, but I wanted to say thanks. I was checking out your user page, and your thoughts on IP seem as reasonable as anything I've seen. Anyway, I hope that our little project will grow past Oregon's borders some day; I'll try to get back to you if it looks like it's heading that way! Best, -Pete (talk) 07:54, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Megapixie, thanks very much for your efforts adding the PD-Australia template to the images in this article. Re. the small refs though, 'fraid I don't see the usefulness of this change, nor does it appear to be a requirement - some do it that way, some don't. My preference is to change it back but thought I'd discuss it with you first as I appreciate all your other work on the article. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 08:54, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Mate, I think you misunderstood me...! I agree fully with PD-Australia. Pls check my original comment, the only thing I disgreed with was the small references, nothing to do with the images... ;-) Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 09:47, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

London Midland map
As for the London Midland image, it is no longer in my hands. As far as I am concerned, it is ok, but the image is now in with the graphics lab. They are the ones who can improve it. I originally uploaded the copyrighted map, which I had no intention to be kept for long. The graphics lab told me they had dealt with all copyright problems.

Please put it through the lab again. They will sort it. Do not delete it until improvements have been made. Articles' quality will go down without it! Dewarw (talk) 17:33, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Flow chart
Your Copyright flow chart is a brilliant idea! Would you mind if I linked to it from my collection of "Useful things" on my user page? DuncanHill (talk) 14:52, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Could you have a look at this?
I'd really appreciate it if you could check this out and confirm my analysis. I'm reasonably confident with it, but I want to make sure I'm right before I delete the image. Sarcasticidealist (talk) 10:46, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Bollocks
The statement on the ARA General Belgrano is more than likely bollocks, thats why I hit it with a {fact} tag. Lets see if he comes up with a source? Justin talk 08:48, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Lasource-Durand PNG


Megapixie: Thanks fixing the PNG image. What are the size limits on PNG files? Also, I uploaded other drawings as JPEG's, which do not have the same quality. Is there a good way to replace the JPEG's with PNG files, assuming the PNG files is noticeably better? Andrew Balet (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 15:37, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Re Image:Pega1.jpg
Specifically from Capt Moyars S. Shore II, The Battle of Khe Sanh. Washington DC: U.S. Marine Corps Historical Branch, 1969. The attributions after each picture should have been a giveaway, yahoo! RM Gillespie (talk) 03:58, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

WikiProject Films coordinator elections

RE deleted image
I see that the image from Operation Pegasus has been deleted by yerself, even after I attributed it to Captain Shore's work. I know yer response even before it transverses the tiny synapses of yer pea-sized brain. "Then why didn't you attribute it? Then it would not have been deleted!" I love it! The logic of Wiki editors. They will point out your anothers mistakes but will not correct them. If they are found at fault (which they, of course will not admit) it is up to someone else to correct them too. I suggest that you go immediately to my user's page and comb the other 14 A-Class articles for similar lack of photo attribution. You can then delete all of the images that I am sure users of Wiki will not need. Maybe I should delete them myself? Save you the strenuous effort? I already have hard copy of all the articles, so what do I need Wiki for? My publisher is waiting. Best not keep her too long. Sayonara! RM Gillespie (talk) 18:36, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
 * User:RM Gillespie left a similar comment on my talk page. Would you support a RFC on them? My problem with them is their attitude. Certainly their work is great, but comments like the above and on my talk page and the failure to work with the community makes me believe we need to address the problem. You may wish to see another comment of theirs at the bottom of their userpage. Lastly, they seems to have a sense of entitlement or superiority because they have done all these great articles and they've made several comments about "going to see an editor" which leads me to believe they think that being a professional writer makes them have a higher benefit to Wikipedia. By an RFC, I hope to merely correct their attitude (or at least suppress the negativity) and make them a more positive part of the community. Certainly, then pushing to FA may seem then worthwhile. But, if you won't support an RFC, it doesn't stand a chance. Lemme know. MECU ≈ talk 12:36, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

First projection TV
Here's his patent. . I do see there were others before him, but his must have been unique somehow in order to qualify for a patent. Further searching shows that he originated the wide-screen pro-jo. How about we expand the projection television articles with histories of each? Nobody of Consequence (talk) 05:32, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Bhutto photo
Hello Megapixie. You asked me to update the rationale on the Bhutto Assassination photo and I have done so. Please have a look at it and let me know if the new rationale is adequate. Thanks --Za indy٨٧  17:02, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Soviet PG-9 and OG-9 grenades for recoilless guns

Yes, fragmentation grenade OG-9 isn't equipped with a rocket engine, only PG-9 has it. Here is the very detailed info about PG-9 and OG-9 (photos, scanned pages from army manuals, etc.) but on Russian only. http://talks.guns.ru/forum_light_message/42/000017-m1917056.html

BMP-1 with Kliver turret image
Hello.

You state that there's a free image of BMP-1 with Kliver turret. Can you please tell me more about it? Until a free replacement is found the image can be used under non-free use rationale to show the subject of the article (one of BMP-1 variants).

Regards. - SuperTank17 (talk) 10:04, 20 June 2008 (UTC)


 * I thought Wikipedia operates for educational purposes only. Also when will tell me about that free picture of BMP-1 with Kliver turret? I want to include it ASAP.

Regards. - SuperTank17 (talk) 09:02, 21 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Ok I get it but why aren't telling me anything about that free picture of BMP-1 with Kliver turret you mentioned? You yourself said Image could be replaced by a free image of the same vehicle.


 * Regards. - SuperTank17 (talk) 23:24, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

Please be more careful
Please be more attentive when tagging images - the T-Mobile time trial image was not a press image, but a promotional image from the team's website, which is, as they say, a different kettle of fish. Phil Sandifer (talk) 00:36, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
