Image Tagging Image:Mslogo.gif[edit]

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Mslogo.gif. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. 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 unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. RN 05:54, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I also noticed I had abbreviated Microsoft in the filename, so I re-uploaded at Image:Microsoft_logo.gif, just in case. Now includes source information. Article updated. Acdx (talk | contribs) 13:26, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright problems with Image:Microsoft_logotype.svg[edit]

An image that you uploaded, Image:Microsoft_logotype.svg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Copyright problems because it is a suspected copyright violation. Please look there if you know that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), and then provide the necessary information there and on its page, if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

The image just needs to be resampled into a low-resolution PNG image, see discussion located here Thanks! GChriss 17:38, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image tagging for Image:Adamair.png[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Adamair.png. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days.

Orphaned fair use image (Image:GE_Logo.svg)[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:GE_Logo.svg. 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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not.

Image:Ejiofor_4Brothers.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Ejiofor_4Brothers.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria.

Non-free use disputed for Image:StoraEnso logotype.png[edit]

This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:StoraEnso logotype.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 11:23, 6 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007 2.png[edit]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007 2.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

License tagging for File:User Acdx SVG Test.svg[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:User Acdx SVG Test.svg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 08:06, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Help Please![edit]

Hello man, I understand that what I'm doing now is out of the ordinary, but I really need some help. I've started learning ActionScript (3.0) in order to implement a specific project. I would do it in Java (Everybody in my class are doing theirs in Java, using EJS), but I need some Event Listeners which Java can't handle properly. Plus, I need to use some String-comparison algorithm which is implemented in the basic library of Perl, but not in Java nor ActionScript. I'm quite new to programming, knowing only Java (With advanced IDE and without), and started to learn AS a few days ago. If you are able to help, please leave a message on my talkpage.

It didn't require a subscription. It was blatantly free on my Google News page, and it continues to appear on a random basis (Interspersed, as I have noticed now, with "Crash Not Actually Found")

You can remove the dispute tag as I have removed the sourced statements I added, unless you have something more accurate to state.

Shallow water blackout[edit]

I see you have vectorised the SWB images, which is fine and looks nice and clean but in the clean-up I believe part of the story has been lost. Originally, the time spent in air and the time spent underwater were coloured, now the interpretation of the images is dependeant on reading the text, which for many people undermines the power of the graphic to explain. You may wish to consider some colour fill. My view is that if a graphic is used it should be capable of telling the whole story graphically and not rely on text, this isn't always possible but once the labels have been read once it should be possible. A it stands the concpet is less intuitive than it could be. I did the original images, the ones before the ones you replaced by the way. Nice work though, I looked at your other images. E x nihil (talk) 12:45, 30 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Digital signature diagram[edit]

Hello Acdx, is the diagram correct? From my point of view you need certificate to validate public key at verify time, e.g. that someone didn't use his/her private key and forged the document signature and supplied you with his/her public key. So you use this certificate to verify that the public key is authentic. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wazdc (talk • contribs) 15:39, 11 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, my diagram assumes the public key is known in advance by the verifying party, either through a certificate like you said, or some other prior communication. Applications of public-key cryptography often work entirely without certificates, take ssh for example. – Acdx (talk) 16:44, 11 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I don't say that you have to have certificate, only that certificate makes sense (or at least how I understand it) in verification process (for verifying that you have correct public key. I found it a bit misleading that you attach, even if optionally, certificate to digital signature, since digital signature is the hash itself, regardless or certificate - e.g. you only need private key to generate it and I believe certificate should be on the right side of the picture, i.e. when you compute hash with public key (but not in the algorithm itself but in verification of public key only). Wazdc (talk) 23:03, 11 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not actually attaching the certificate to the signature, I'm attaching it optionally to the document; what is labeled as the 'Signature' in the diagrams is always just the encrypted hash.

What is implied in the verification diagram is that the verifier knows who the signer is and has their public key. This is an essential requirement for any digital signature to work, and can be satisfied in different ways: by the verifier obtaining the public key of the signer beforehand, or by validating a particular key used for the signature by looking at certificates that tie the key to the trusted party. Neither method is documented in the diagram, and if I wanted to be really consistent I'd remove any mention of certificates from the first diagram too. – Acdx (talk) 00:34, 12 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I would remove the certificate from the first diagram, so the two are consistent. If the first shows the certificate optionally being attached to the document, the second should show it as an optional source for the public key, but that I think would unduly complicate an otherwise very clear diagram. Having it only in the first wrongly implies it is only relevant when signing. AP61 (talk) 02:11, 14 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I agree on the slight inconsistency. Basically, my diagram doesn't concern itself with where the keys used for signing and verification come from. I included a certificate in the signing diagram because in many cases one gets attached at this point, and it makes for a more complete definition of what "digitally signed data" might consist. It's not meant to signify anything more than "a piece of paper called a certificate is often included." These were my thoughts when I created the diagram. – Acdx (talk) 19:43, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I find the terms "encrypt" and "decrypt" in the bold arrows with the key symbol if not wrong, so at least misleading: "application of the private key to hash value" (my proposed replacement) would be more similar to decrypt and "application of public key to signature" is more similar to encrypt, but since encryption and signature are different things I would suggest to avoid en-/de-crypt.

skittles picture[edit]

sorry for replacing your picture, since it's not a bad picture of candy as most of them are. i basically have gone through the candy world and taken images of wrappers and candies separately for articles, and eventually reached the skittles page. i would have left it there since it's not a bad picture, but then the image becomes redundant. but the copyright for pictures about products is a bit murky, since product packaging still retains things like copyrighted logos and artwork, etc. i would love nothing more than to put original-size pictures of the product package shots i've done, but have to make them all small and declare them fair use non-free blah blah. you can get a better sense if you look at the "product" photo template on the upload file section, or look at the candy product shots on the articles. sometimes that isn't enough, you can see the mire the stupid picture i took of the cheez-it box is on its page, which someone thinks still doesn't qualify.

anyway, sorry about replacing your picture. also, you have some great pictures in your user gallery.

Strange trapezium ?[edit]

Hi, I am using your file "quadrilaterals"

on sw wiki. I am not an expert but why should the first shape be a trapezium? All definitions I know say it should have 2 parallel sides. Do I overlook something? Kindly reply on my user page at sw sw:Majadiliano_ya_mtumiaji:Kipala as I do not often pass by here. Kipala (talk) 18:12, 17 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Your talk page on the Swahili Wikipedia seems to be protected, so I'll answer here. My diagram is a copy of File:Quadrilateral.png, and I can't exactly say what the intentions of the author were, but it seems to me that "trapezium" is an American English-only term for a quadrilateral with no parallel sides. A quadrilateral with two parallel sides on the other hand is called a "trapezoid" in American English and a "trapezium" in British English. So essentially, the first shape doesn't have any special name in British English, so only the American term is listed. – Acdx (talk) 20:02, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

July 2012 Study of authors of health-related Wikipedia pages[edit]

Dear Author/Acdx

My name is Nuša Farič and I am a Health Psychology MSc student at University College London (UCL). I am currently running a quantitative study entitled Who edits health-related Wikipedia pages and why? I am interested in the editorial experience of people who edit health-related Wikipedia pages. I am interested to learn more about the authors of health-related pages on Wikipedia and what motivations they have for doing so. I am currently contacting the authors of randomly selected articles and I noticed that someone at this address edited an article on Oral Candidiasis. I would like to ask you a few questions about you and your experience of editing the above mentioned article. If you would like more information about the project, please visit my user page http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Hydra_Rain and if interested, please visit my Talk page or e-mail me on nusa.faric.11@ucl.ac.uk. Also, others interested in the study may contact me! If I do not hear back from you I will not contact this account again. Thank you very much in advance.

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media 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 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Notification of automated file description generation[edit]

Your upload of File:3D Render.jpg or contribution to its description is noted, and thanks (even if belatedly) for your contribution. In order to help make better use of the media, an attempt has been made by an automated process to identify and add certain information to the media's description page.

This notification is placed on your talk page because a bot has identified you either as the uploader of the file, or as a contributor to its metadata. It would be appreciated if you could carefully review the information the bot added. To opt out of these notifications, please follow the instructions here. Thanks!
