[edit] Bikini: Trikini

I have started a section on the trikini. But, I couldn't find and image to go with it. The original meaning says it should be something like this flickr image, i.e. consisting three separate parts. Can you help me find a fitting image? Aditya^{(talk • contribs)} 02:48, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Portishead Rilway page - template

Hi Matt,

Something is wrong with Portishead Railway template, take a look at Portishead Railway, the last reference in Template:Portishead Railway is displaying at top of the railwayarticle. I can't work out what the problem is. Jezhotwells (talk) 23:28, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

Ah fixed it it was missing hyphens in ISBN, you learn something everyday. Jezhotwells (talk) 23:32, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

Still screwed up for me, but that's probably cache issues, and I don't think it was a missing hyphen. I think that when I added the last ref I forgot to remove the previous noinclude tag. -mattbuck (Talk) 23:43, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

[edit] commons section?

Hi Mattbuck,

You posted over on the Signpost talk page about carrying updates about Commons.. I think that's a great idea and I'd be happy to put them in News & Notes (or maybe a dedicated Commons story every so often)? The only problem is ... it would need an author :) I don't follow Commons myself... would you be interested in doing such a thing? -- phoebe / (talk to me) 04:23, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi Phoebe. Yeah, I meant to do it myself, then got sidetracked with various things - not had a good year so far. I'll see if I can put something together over the next week or so. -mattbuck (Talk) 20:11, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi mattbuck,

Please check the Brislington East boundary map HERE and you'll see that the image I added to the page WAS Brislington East, not West, whereas the image you've added belongs most deffinately in the west, not east!

I'm sorry, you're right. I appear to have got east and west brislington reversed on my google earth labelling. Sorry. I'll fix it here and on commons. -mattbuck (Talk) 17:38, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Thanks Matt. I could have changed the pages back myself but didn't want you to think I was some sort of noob starting some kind of editing war, so thought best to ask for your help and take it from there. :) Weirdoldhattie (talk) 16:08, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Falling Hare

Why is it that ONLY ONE image is being challenged, while IIRC three others from "Falling Hare"--at least two of which ALSO include Bugs Bunny--were all marked as public domain? You're targeting the image at the head of the Bugs Bunny article for attacks while ignoring the others; IMO that's non-NPOV.

I think you're also confusing copyrights and trademarks. It is *NOT* illegal to accurately reproduce a public-domain image (i.e., a screenshot from a Bugs Bunny cartoon that is now PD), even if it includes a trademark (i.e., the Bugs Bunny character itself). Wonder how the companies that sell DVDs of PD cartoons get the images for the cover? Simple--they copy them from the cartoons themselves. As long as there's no misrepresentation or likelihood of confusion with respect to a legitimate Warner Bros. product (a concept of trademark law--NOT copyright law), that kind of copying is perfectly legal.

Using a PD image of Bugs Bunny in an encyclopedia article about Bugs Bunny does *NOT* require permission from Warner Bros. under either copyright or trademark law. Case closed! --RBBrittain (talk) 00:40, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Hi. I only challenged the one image because I didn't know of any others. It's not POV, nor would it be even if I had known of the existence of the others. If I had known of the existence of the others it would be sloppy, but that's it.

As for your comment about public domain issues and trademarks, I am fully aware of the difference between a trademark and a copyright. However, I followed the Commons guidelines on this - the cartoon is without doubt PD. The frame is without doubt PD. But the character is not PD, and thus since this particular frame is mostly of a copyrighted character it fails the de minimis test, and so is unfree. If you drew a picture of Bugs Bunny, that would be non-free because the character is not PD. Same principle. I'd welcome bringing this up in a wider forum, but I took a straw poll of commons admins before I originally nominated it for PUI, and consensus was non-free. -mattbuck (Talk) 01:11, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Hi Matt. Thanks for putting a map on this: I've never got the hang of doing maps myself. I wondered whether you could tweak it a little to make it clearer that Coaley was the junction station, rather than Cam and Dursley: unlike the arrangement at Stonehouse (Bristol Road), where there were, in effect, two separate but linked stations, one on the main line and the other on the Nailsworth line, Coaley was very definitely a single station, with an unusual station building at right angles to the main line and serving passengers on both the branch and the Bristol-bound trains. Thanks. Johnlp (talk) 22:28, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Done. Is that better? I found the wording of the article unclear when I did the map, so just made a guess. -mattbuck (Talk) 23:19, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Yes, thanks, I think that's right. Please change the wording of the article if unclear: clarity is everything! Johnlp (talk) 08:24, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] A quick look, please?

Can you, please, spare a moment to take a look at the debate around File:Monokini.jpg? As far as I can see this is the most encyclopedic image the article on Monokini has right now. I'd prefer to have just this image over the rest anytime (well, one more of image may be). Please, take a look. I don't know who else I can turn to. Aditya^{(talk • contribs)} 13:38, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

I reckon the licence should be {{attribution}}, but OTRS permission would be nice. -mattbuck (Talk) 17:12, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] I see you point...

This is about File:Monokini.jpg again. I was under the impression that Wikipedia does allow a few NFCCs, under very strict conditions, of course. Those conditions, probably do not necessarily involve an OTRS ticket. I may be wrong on this though. Please advise. Aditya^{(talk • contribs)} 03:50, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

The OTRS ticket is nothing to do with it being non-free. If it's non-free, then you can't use it, as non-free images used on wikipedia must not be replaceable - there cannot be any chance of getting a free replacement - and that is clearly not the case for this image. The written permission provided sounded like {{attribution}} to me, but I'm suspicious - we have no proof that the uploader has the rights to release this, so we want an OTRS ticket so that we have a paper trail in case somneone wants to sue us. -mattbuck (Talk) 09:53, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

What do you mean by that? Do you mean merge the maps or articles. If it's the articles I don't know how to merge them (You would probably have to show me how) and if it's the maps I could take some time because I've never made a map before.
