Arpad Miklos
Hello, I see that you continue to go onto Arpad Miklos's Wikipedia page and add things to the article. Please be aware that wikipedia does not allow advertisements such as him being an escort or the services he provides. It also does not recommend that a subject's personal address or living situations to be included in biographies of living persons. I understand that you are new to wikipedia and it would be a great idea for you to go and look at the rules that were added to your talk page above. Just because you have a personal relationship with the subject, you cannot edit the page with things that are told to you. This is an encyclopedia and everything has to be verified. These things must be verified through other sources than the subject him/herself. I hope you understand and will read the rules. Thank you Junebug52 02:34, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
 * There's room for compromise; I added some verification. --AnonEMouse (squeak) 12:51, 13 September 2007 (UTC)


 * thanks for adding the verification, and for not simply deleting the information as all others had in the past - from now on, will just copy the procedure you used to verify with outside references. is there some way to freeze the verified information so that I don't have to keep checking back? - stendhalismo


 * There is no way of freezing the article unless it is being vandalized. In this case the article is not being vandalized, but rather sources are being required as they would be in any article on wikipedia. I removed the references because you were not giving sources other than the ok from the subject of the article which is not sufficient for verification. I asked AnonEMouse to look at the article and to give his opinion. He at that time found a reference that was able to be used so therefore the information could be added back. There are still issues with this article such as verifications of other information and citing sources. We will try to work to find these things and if we cannot please be advised that the information that is not verifiable will ultimatley be removed. I am sure that Mr. Miklos would be appreciative that information about him would be reflected as true and factual. Thank you Junebug52 16:39, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Image request
Hi. A long discussion of this on my user page led to us checking the permission on the photo used on the article. It looks like the editor who got the photo got permission to use the image from an online DVD store, but our Wikimedia permissions department thinks that site didn't really understand what giving permission involved. The basic issue is that Wikipedia believes in free content, anyone can use our stuff, so, with very rare exceptions, we can only use images that anyone in the world can then also reuse. In other words, we can only use images that have been released by the owner under a free license; and Wikimedia permissions thinks it likely that the DVD store was only using a promotional image, they didn't actually own all rights to the work, so couldn't release it. In other words, we are probably going to be deleting the photo from the article soon.

However, if you know Arpad Miklos personally, maybe you could ask him if he would be willing to release a photo under a free content license. Or maybe you could take a photo of him, and release it. (Hopefully a clothed photo! :-) ) The most common free content attribution licenses used here are: the GFDL; and Creative Commons licenses Attribution; and Attribution Share-alike; they are described in more detail in those articles, but basically they let anyone use the image as long as they give attribution to the original photographer - basically say who took it first. Or public domain is simpler, it lets anyone use the image even without attribution. For GFDL, we need the image owner, who is usually the photographer, to write the following statement "I own the copyright to the attached image. I grant permission to copy, distribute and/or modify this document under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation; with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover Texts." (For GFDL of course; for the others the owner needs to write "I own the copyright to the attached image and release the image under the Creative Commons 2.5 Attribution Share-Alike license.") If you can do that, we will upload the image to Wikimedia Commons, and will be able to use that image. And so will anyone else, of course, the owner needs to realize that.

User:Videmus Omnia/Requesting free content is a page from someone who is even better at this than I am. --AnonEMouse (squeak) 20:05, 14 September 2007 (UTC)


 * I have reviewed the information w/ miklos, and he states the information currently on the page is true and factual. please tell me which information you are unable to verify, and I will provide the verification as best I can


 * also, miklos doesn't LIKE that photo, and would be MORE THAN happy to provide another one for which he has the permissions (he has several professional grade photos which he is allowed to use for his purposes, will make sure he has the permissions as requested - will look for shirtless from naval up. hey, he is a pornstar !!!). HOWEVER I could not figure out how to post a new photo - please detail or direct to instructions — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stendhalismo (talk • contribs) 01:44, September 15, 2007


 * You can follow the links above for details or options, but the following should work:
 * Create an account on Wikimedia Commons
 * Click the upload file (own work) link, and fill out the resulting form to upload the image. Name it something like Arpad_Miklos.jpg and set the license from the dropdown to GFDL. Add a note "Permission from Arpad Miklos emailed to permissions at wikimedia.org."
 * Replace the Image:Arpad Miklos cropped.jpg text on the Arpad Miklos article with Image:Arpad_Miklos.jpg
 * Get Arpad Miklos to send an email from the official Arpad Miklos email from his web site to permissions at wikimedia.org that says "I am Arpad Miklos. I own the copyright to the image uploaded at http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Arpad_Miklos.jpg. I grant permission to copy, distribute and/or modify this image under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation; with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover Texts." Best if you do this as soon as possible after uploading the image, don't wait a week or someone might get antsy. The permissions folks will stick the email in an OTRS database, and attach a ticket number to the image to verify that they have gotten in.
 * By the way, if you put ~ at the end of your talk page posts, they will be signed and dated, which makes them easier to read. Like this: --AnonEMouse (squeak) 13:38, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
