Fair use rationale for Image:UAC-Mars Olduvai Research Facility(DOOM)-60lat-20long.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:UAC-Mars Olduvai Research Facility(DOOM)-60lat-20long.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes 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 non-free media 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. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:UAC-Mars Olduvai Research Facility(DOOM)-60lat-20long.png)
Thanks for uploading Image:UAC-Mars Olduvai Research Facility(DOOM)-60lat-20long.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media 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. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 12:36, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Stranded naufragos cast.jpg
Thank you for uploading Image:Stranded naufragos cast.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 19:03, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Itineraries of the Roman emperors
Thank you for your kind words! I am happy to hear that someone else finds the subject as interesting as I do. Unfortunately, I don't think I can extend the article. I see two barriers to such an extension. The first is that I have essentially retired from Wikipedia, and have no interest in returning. The second is that I am unfamiliar with the literature; I would not know where to direct you. I am not a classicist, and my reading in the period is fairly shallow. What follows is my best shot at bibliographic advice.

I am not familiar with any source that compare to Timothy Barnes' sequence in its comprehensiveness and attention to detail. His New Empire of Diocletian and Constantine has the itineraries of the emperors from 284 to 337, but as far as I know he hasn't extended the sequence from 361 to 395. The Prosopography of the Later Roman Empire would probably be your best bet – it is comprehensive and pays close attention to names, dates, and sources – but it would be difficult to find outside of a university library. You might encounter some hassle obtaining it by inter-library loan, depending on whether the series is shelved with reference material or in the regular stacks. I certainly don't have access to it. Williams and Friell's Theodosius isn't very good, I'm afraid. Easily-accessible online sources offer a rough-and-ready substitute for a complete itinerary. I think they'd give you a better chronology than Wikipedia would.

The sources should be much the same: the Codex Theodosianus, in Latin here, and Ammianus Marcellinus in Latin and with an English translation here. But it would require languages I do not have, and energies I cannot summon, to turn these materials into a itinerary. Sorry! G.W. (Talk) 20:03, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

Magnus Maximus
I don't know where the phrase about lack of imperial presence came from, but I profoundly disagree with its inclusion and the implications it raises. There is a difference between "where emperors live or operate" and "where imperial, or Roman, power is manifest". Honorius, described as a 'mollusc emperor', hardly ever left his shell in Ravenna - so that 90%+ of the Western Empire "had no imperial presence". However, Roman power, culture and indeed tax collecting was still to be found in most of the West. As far as Gaul goes, it was the main base of Aetius in the mid 4th century, long after Maximus, and Aetius was the de-facto ruler of the Western Empire - far more so than that other mollusc, Valentinian III. Also when all of Gaul, including Lyons, had fallen under Germanic warlords a large part of Northern Gaul was, uniquely, under a Roman warlord (Aegidius or Syagrius). The claim of the Loire provinces of Gaul to continuing Romanitas seems as great or greater than that of the Arelate. Urselius (talk) 15:04, 14 July 2013 (UTC)

Orion Service Module
Yes last week they did an Abort To (Lunar) Orbit Test where if the Interim Cryogenic Propulsion Stage (ICPS) (SLS upper stage) failed to function the Orion would perform a 12 minute burn with both main and auxiliary engines simultaneously to place it into a circular Lunar orbit where it would wait for calculations for a return to Earth flightpath to be completed and allow them to do some lunar science before returning to Earth, during that static test it was producing just over 1900 m/s of delta v, higher than its design of 1855 m/s. WatcherZero (talk) 05:35, 13 August 2019 (UTC)

OK, I have been trying to add sources to the article for all weight, size, volume etc. figures. To me, it seems safer to merely compare the propellant volume of the Apollo CSM and Orion SM for now as I cannot find a reliable source for the 1,800 m/s estimate. The 1,800 m/s figure would imply a payload of 6 metric tons only, instead of 10 MT. The official ESA EM-1 sources claim the SM weighs 13,500 kg although e.g. Gunter's Space Page quotes a different figure (15,461 kg). I will check if this perhaps is for Constellation. Mlindroo (talk) 17:06, 13 August 2019 (UTC)

I can indeed find multiple references to delta-V=6000 fps / 1800 meters per second in the literature if I go back ten years! According to my sources, the Constellation version of Orion needed a higher dV since (a) it was to be separately launched on an Ares I so it needed enough propellant to rendezvous and dock in Earth orbit with the unmanned Ares V-launched Altair lander+translunar injection stack, (b) lunar orbit margins & contingency orbital plane change to rendezvous with Altair again. Also, the command module capsule was assumed to weight 8t instead of 10t+ today. The end result of all this is a _de facto_ reduction from 1.8km/s to 1.3 km/s.

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Mlindroo, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your additions to Zvezda (ISS module) have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.


 * You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
 * Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
 * Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Copyrights. You may also want to review Copy-paste.
 * If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Donating copyrighted materials.
 * In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
 * Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps in Translation. See also Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Moneytrees🌴Talk🌲Help out at CCI! 15:39, 19 July 2020 (UTC)
