User talk:Rnieders

Rnieders, you are invited to the Teahouse!
Fut.Perf. ☼ I am not sure if I am responding correctly. I have left a message on the File:GAP cross-border terminal and bridge 2001.jpg, am very new to this and have no clue where to start. As mentioned in the File:GAP cross-border terminal and bridge 2001.jpg, I started the Tijuana cross-border terminal project in 1990, was central in the Mexico-US negotiations, put the project together and created most of the promotional material, but am having problems deciphering the conditions listed to be able to upload the images central in showing how this project took 20 years to put together and how it also changed over time. Any help would be greatly appreciated and hopefully this will reach you. Thank youRnieders (talk) 04:02, 24 August 2014 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:GAP cross-border terminal and bridge 2001.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:GAP cross-border terminal and bridge 2001.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the file description page and add the text   below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing   with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
 * 2) On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria.

Pictures in Cross-border terminal article
First of all how wonderful that you've take the time to share the history with others. In Wikipedia it will be aceessed by far more people than anyone on Earth. As for the pictures there is really nothing you can do. Unless you own the rights to them yourself there are very few other pictures that are considered in the Public domain, with the major exception of US federal government work. And Open Street Map.

City, state and country works are not in the public domain and neither are those of Mexican government entities. There is an exception for "fair use" but I have only ever seen this applied for an album cover or tv show's logo, as part of an article for a tv program, film etc. Keizers (talk) 08:42, 25 August 2014 (UTC)


 * I still don't know where to reply so I do it the other person's talk page even though you don't have the whole thread is in different places. What you talk about is not fair use. You should add conversations to the bottom of talk pages. Read up on what fair use is in terms of copyright. WP:FU. I know it's frustrating - it really is as restrictive as you think. and it winds up making wikipedia often incomplete by lacking essential images. Keizers (talk) 15:45, 25 August 2014 (UTC)


 * I renamed the article. Good suggestion. As for the pictures if I try to explain another way, I think that pictures that are released in a press kit - the rights are still somehow retained by the owner (I think) - and probably someone else couldn't use them for certain commercial purposes - if they are in Wikipedia the rights have to be explicitly signed away, *entirely*. Btw any idea when the terminal will be finished and usable? We will use it regularly as we live in MEX and are originally from SAN. Keizers (talk) 20:00, 27 August 2014 (UTC)


 * It has been a while since I last contacted you, I have slowly added information to the Tijuana cross-border article. All the images I added I created and own but now I received a notice that there is a question if I own and created the pictures I uploaded, one file has already been deleted and now all the images have been tagged for deletion, who can I contact? I created this project, was directly involved in every facet of the negotiations, added references so that readers could understand the politics that affected the project supported by newspaper reports and now my images are being questioned? cannot understand this process.

Talk pages
That's great! Congratulations on all your contributions. This is such a great way to increase knowledge amongst by far the most number of readers, compared to any other way such as a blog. A small tip, when writing on a Talk page, click the New Section tab and make your comment that way. It will create a new section at the bottom of a user's talk page. Or you can add text to an existing section on their page e.g. I already have a section talking about Tijuana Cross-border Terminal. Cheers! Keizers (talk) 19:05, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

Still do not know how to reply to messages, is it above or below the edit line?? I still have quite a few files on the Tijuana cross-border terminal, spent 18 years working on it from the inside, will add information on the land acquisition and keep it as short as possible. Thank you for the grammar correction, have always had problem with it. all the best 108.202.3.119 (talk) 04:10, 5 November 2014 (UTC) Forgot to log in before writing Rnieders (talk) 04:12, 5 November 2014 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Tijuana Cross-border Terminal, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Jerry Sanders. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Images
Hello, Just an idea. You could create a website and upload the images to it. It's easy to create a site with Blogger or Wordpress.com. Then at least they will be online. Keizers (talk) 14:23, 21 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Hello, good to hear from you, I am not too computer savvy and never thought of creating a blog. I will submit to OTRS but they seem to be at least 20 days backlogged. Since there are enough references to establish who Ralph Nieders is, the claim now is that I must prove that rnieders and Ralph Nieders are the same person and not someone impersonating and uploading images in his name. This has been quite an exercise in patience, do all Wikipedia articles go through this process?? Hope you have a Merry Christmas and that next year is a better one, all the best Rnieders (talk) 17:00, 23 December 2014 (UTC)

Flight crew usage of Cross Border Xpress
I added this verbiage:

"Flight crew that want to use the facility must hold a boarding pass and pay the fee alike."

Can you please confirm? Thank you. --2601:646:4200:F86:153:FC6B:83EE:9B0D (talk) 15:34, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
 * What you previously wrote was good information. Though I started the project and carried for 20 years, after the land deal closed, I was no longer involved and have not used the crossing. Enrique Valle is in charge of the crossing, the business card he gave me, the telephone never seemed to work, but may be it works now (619) 299-9976, have no email for him. Sorry I could not help you, but I liked what you added. Rnieders (talk)
 * Great, thank you. I enjoyed reading your content. It is very rich in detail and it shows the perseverance that you and others had to see this project to fruition. --2601:646:4200:F86:153:FC6B:83EE:9B0D (talk) 16:25, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Thank you, do you know who changed the format of the article?? The section titles? Rnieders (talk)
 * I added a section header so that it could show each decade (late 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, 2010s), for readability. I left all of your subsection titles in tact. The only difference is they are indented. If you want me to take out the titles by decade, I am happy to do so. Let me know.

 * No, there are cross-references, was wondering if you would mind if I or you could change the section titles a little e.g. first section "Early development, competing proposals and setbacks- 1988-2000, second section "Planning and land acquisition- 2000-2008" and last section "Government negotiations, construction and opening- 2009-2016" Also would like to add your Airways Magazine article as a footnote, I have all the info for that. this message is basically a repletion, may have sent it to the wrong address. Thank you for your patience.Rnieders (talk) 17:05, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
 * I had Keizers look at the changes, he created the Cross Border Xpress page and I have been working with him since 2014 when he first created a section on the terminal under the Tijuana Airport wiki page and later this article. He suggested going back to the original format. The history and politics on this project were difficult to say the least and I worked directly with Ernest Velasco Leon the Director of ASA during and after the airport privatization process.Rnieders (talk) 06:33, 15 February 2017 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits.

Conflict of interest
Following our conversation at, please note the following advice:


 * You need to declare your conflict of interest in the articles which you have edited, specifically Cross Border Xpress, History of the Cross Border Xpress, and Ralph Nieders.
 * You are strongly discouraged from editing articles directly in which you have a conflict of interest, and instead should request edits to be made on your behalf. Note that opaquely asking off-wiki for edits to be made to articles in which you have a COI could also be construed as a breach of this - requests for edits should ideally be made through the WP:EDITREQUEST process, or exceptionally via WP:OTRS.
