On IRC you said you wanted something to do with the banzai tree. Does it have to be the banzai, can it be a different tree? You see, I'm having a bit of trouble finding a free banzai-related image. Thanks, Rock drum Ba-dumCrash (Review me) 10:12, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Your fresh new logo is ready! Yum! Rock drum Ba-dumCrash (Review me) 14:11, 18 July 2010 (UTC) [[File:Ragesoss logo 1.jpg]]

Reuse of images from Wikipedia in copyrighted articles
Hi Sage, are such cases collected somewhere? I think I have never seen actual cases covered anywhere yet but just noticed this one. Could the matter be something for the Signpost? -- Daniel Mietchen 10:46, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't know of any central place where such cases are collected.  Template:Published is the standard way to mark such cases, I think; it has a paramater, "legal=no", that can be used to mark license violations.  If we added a category that got included when that parameter is there, we could see what ones have already been documented.--ragesoss (talk) 16:05, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Ah, it's already been done. Category:Images used by media organizations but violating license terms. --ragesoss (talk) 16:07, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
 * If the images are under CC-BY-SA and Springer didn't name source and license, it would appear to be a license violation. However, whether the use of the images would require them to put the whole article under CC-BY-SA is (to my knowledge) an open question - last year, the WMF's Erik Möller said that such a "strong copyleft" effect would be desirable, but that CC-BY-SA hadn't yet developed "clear and unambiguous language to this effect".
 * The Signpost recently had this story which mentioned such unauthorized reuse cases in a larger context. A single example normally wouldn't appear to be material for a full story, but a reaction from Springer would make it more newsworthy.
 * Regards, HaeB (talk) 16:38, 5 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the info everyone. I added the template to the images. Three of them were actually in the public domain, the Wikipedia license terms were violated in two cases. -- Daniel Mietchen 19:39, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

Global message delivery
Global message delivery should sort of work now. It needs some rigorous testing, though. So... have fun! :-) --MZMcBride (talk) 23:20, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

ambassadors handbk

 * I added a couple comments to the talk page of the ambassador's hndbk on Wikimedia. Dunno where exactly it should go (on Wikipedia, Wikimedia, etc.), and am a bit busy so don't have time to look into it at the moment. Hope to work more in the near future. later! &bull; Ling.Nut 13:56, 17 September 2010 (UTC)

Pending changes/Straw poll on interim usage
Hi. As you recently commented in the straw poll regarding the ongoing usage and trial of Pending changes, this is to notify you that there is an interim straw poll with regard to keeping the tool switched on or switching it off while improvements are worked on and due for release on November 9, 2010. This new poll is only in regard to this issue and sets no precedent for any future usage. Your input on this issue is greatly appreciated. Off2riorob (talk) 23:45, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
