License tagging for Image:IMG 0444 (2).JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:IMG 0444 (2).JPG. Wikipedia gets hundreds of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
 * Image use policy
 * Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Media copyright questions. 17:06, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

P3/4 0846
Judging from your comments in the Ferrari P article, I presume that you are Jim Glickenhaus. I originally wrote that article (and many other Ferrari articles on Wikipedia) and certainly welcome your input here. Further, I'd like to congratulate you on the amazing P4/5! I have made some edits to tone down the article in an attempt to keep it factual and fair. Perhaps I can be of assistance in future editing, just as I hope you can help with many of these other articles that I have been working on, such as those for the Ferrari Monza cars or perhaps the Ferrari Dino engine, Scuderia Ferrari, etc... --SFoskett 18:55, 31 July 2006 (UTC)


 * I have reverted the Ferrari P article to my earlier state. If you would like to re-insert that long, unencyclopedic letter, I invite you to discuss its place in the article on its talk page first.  I have no problem with a link to it on another site as a reference, but it does not belong in the body of this article.  Also, your edit removed much text about the P4 in general which should probably be in the article.  I offer to assist you in learning the ropes here on Wikipedia and welcome your input on this and other articles!  --SFoskett 00:41, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

First of all there's nothing "presumed" about the car in the photo you posted. Ferrari, NYS motor vehicle authorities US and Italian Customs authorities all agree that that car has the legal identity 1967 Ferrari P 3/4 chassis # 0846. Ferrari S.p.A. has a photo of that car on their copyrighted web site identifying it as such. (The web site is only accessible by those owing a Ferrari and accepted by Ferrari to be allowed to access that website.)

There is no question that Ferrari scrapped 0846 and did not sell but threw out the chassis remains of 0846 in 1967.

There is also no question that the car in the photo you posted in addition to having the legal identity 1967 Ferrari P 3/4 0846 has been rebuilt (Ferrari's words) on the chassis remains of 0846 that Ferrari abandoned in 1967 with help from Ferrari who recast the suspension uprights in 2002.

There is no question that the car in the photo you posted also has many other original parts of 0846.

None of the above has been ever been refuted by Ferrari who have been aware of the controversy surrounding 0846 for many years.


 * I know this whole thing has been contentious with some, but let me assure you that I'm not one of the people trying to attack you about this car. I just write an online encyclopedia.  Part of this task is trying to be fair and not take a side in ongoing controversies.  Since some people have questioned the chassis, and since Ferrari hasn't directly confirmed it (tacit approval by listing and posting a photo on their web site or on a parts order seems less than forthcoming on their part) I felt it was best to still say things like "presumed" instead of baiting those that would attack you and your car.


 * Personally, I think the evidence is extremely strong, probably as strong as its likely to get, that this frame did come from 0846. But we can't say that in the encyclopedia article, sadly.  I think your documentation pdf is very convincing!


 * As for other issues, since you clearly know more about these 330 P cars than anyone else on Wikipedia, I would invite you to expand and correct the rest of the article. This is all really fascinating stuff!


 * One more key item we need is photos. I'd love to illustrate the rest of the Ferrari racing articles I've been writing with photos, but don't have them.  You, though, appear to have lots of great ones and a great deal of information about the cars themselves.  Would you care to share them like you did the P3/4 photo?  I'd be happy to upload them and add them to articles if that helps you...  --SFoskett 13:19, 1 August 2006 (UTC)


 * One more thing: I thought you might be able to add some information to this article!  :-)  --SFoskett 13:54, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi

email me and describe which photo's you'd like and I'll send them on to you.

The ACO stamps on the heads/gearbox/steering rack prove that these parts are definetly from 0846 as described in the pdf. so they are more than "Le Mans correct" they were on the 0846 at Le Mans and are in the car today.

As an aside Ferrari is fine with 0846, have agreed the legal identity of the car I own is 0846 and only wish me to acknowledge that the original car was scrapped and that they didn't sell the chassis remains of 0846 and that I rebuilt the car into what it is today.

Best

Ferrari P4/5
Hi, I noticed you had an account so I was just hoping that if you had time you could read the Ferrari P4/5 article and correct any errors, or bring them up on the talk page. It would be even better if you could extend the article. I doubt anyone would know this car better than you. Thanks for your time. James086Talk 04:33, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Image:IMG 0444 (2).JPG
Hi. When you uploaded Image:IMG 0444 (2).JPG, you did not specify complete source and copyright information. Another user subsequently tagged it with GFDL-presumed and, for some time, it has existed on Wikipedia under the assumption that you created the image and you agreed to license it under the GFDL. This assumption, however well-meaning, is not legally sufficient and the tag is being phased out. Images using it are being deleted.

This image has been tagged for deletion and will be deleted in one week if adequate copyright information is not provided.

If you, personally, are the author of this content, meaning that you took the photograph yourself or you created the chart yourself (and it does not use any clipart that you did not create), please retag the image with a free image copyright tag that correctly describes your licensing intentions, usually GFDL-self or PD-self. Please also make sure if you have not already done so that you write a good description of what the image depicts, when you took the photo, and other important details. This will allow Wikipedia to continue using the image.

If you did not create the image or if it is derived from the copyrighted works of others, please keep in mind that most images on the internet are copyrighted and are not suitable for use on Wikipedia. Wikipedia respects the copyrights of others and does not use images unless we know that they have been freely licensed. Any creative work is automatically copyrighted, even if it lacks a copyright notice. Unless the copyright holder has specifically disclaimed their rights to the image and released it under the GFDL or another compatible license, we cannot use it. If you did not create the image, and cannot make the image compliant with Non-free content, simply do nothing and it will be deleted in a week. All other non-free images must follow these rules.

Please feel free to contact me on my talk page or leave a message at Media copyright questions with any questions you may have. Thank you. Aksibot 22:14, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
