Edits to absinthe spoon
Hi, perhaps you should take a look at the absinthe page which describes both methods of preparation, you will see the proper way to use an absinthe spoon. The absinthe spoon was never made to hold a burning sugar cube, that was created in the 1990s, although perhaps a mention of it is in order on the page.

If you don't own the rights of the image or it is not in the public domain, it can't be hosted on wikipedia. -- Ari 01:19, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Just putting some info from how I remember having absinthe prepared for me in Europe. I checked some information, and I re-posted as an alternate method, and I added an image from a web-site that I posted for educational, non-comercial uses. I emailed the author of the web site, and if he complains I'll take it off. --Purpletres 02:07, 11 September 2006 (UTC)


 * If the website owner owns the picture (as not all sites own the pictures they use) and allows it to be used under wikipedia guidelines I think it could be used for the main absinthe page as well. -- Ari 02:48, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Czechabsinthe.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Czechabsinthe.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 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. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Aksibot 10:11, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Image:Czechabsinthe.jpg
Hi. When you uploaded Image:Czechabsinthe.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 08:06, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
