/me waves...

Well, I hate to see you go, but Wikipedia should never be a priority over real life stuff. Hope you can find something in-between at some point. :) EVula // talk // ☯ // 19:44, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Amen to that; it may already be too little too late. Thanks for the sendoff. Patstuart^talk·edits 19:48, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Bye Pat. You are right, real life is so much more important than some website. I hope you enjoy it (but do come back if you ever get a chance, we'll miss you) :( Majorly (hot!) 18:52, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

Bye Pat! It's been a pleasure to work with you on Wikipedia, and I wish you the best of luck with whatever life brings you. Nishkid64 18:53, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

Er..

I was logged out and you left me a message that I had "experimented" with the page Jabba the Hut, but I have done no such thing. Is there something wrong? CombatRock 20:18, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Witches'_Brew.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Witches'_Brew.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. 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 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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Videmus Omnia ^Talk 03:43, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Abortion map

Hi, Patstuart. I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to create Image:Abortion-pre1973.png. Your contribution is thoroughly appreciated! :-) -Severa (!!!) 20:31, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Andrea Yates Image

Hi Pat. Your Wikimedia page said it was better to contact you at this page.

I've added the following comment to the image deletions discussion page. It should eliminate any confusion that GeorgHH create through his misunderstanding of the CNN citation. If you review the image page PD rationale, you will have access to two citations that should clarify why the image is "public domain" in the legal sense. It is commonly understood by the media that accessible gov't documents of states with freedom of infomation acts are public domain.

Please notice that all objections made by GeorgHH have been rectified on the image page. The license status is now clear with the removal of the GFDL tag and retaining of the PD because tag. The rationale and description sections have been revamped with clarifications to eliminate confusion over ownership of the video source and include a link to the Texas Public Information Act that documents why the reporter in the cited CNN interview would professionally used the prase "public domain" when refering to materials released by the Attorney General of Texas.

HEY THERE

All I want for Thanksgiving is a stupid little screenshot of the uncat I section being empty.

This is a cease and desist order -- take a break from applying the uncat template and go do something useful like vote for my version of that stupid airplane at commons FP.

Stop harrassing the help! -- Carol 01:43, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

Images whose names start with "I"

I understand that it takes a lot of motivation and search aptitude and commitment to find images that are uncategorized and paste a 9 character template name at the top of the image page; I also do not want to interfere with a trusted, known and respected 'pedian -- however, my goal today is to empty the I section out of the uncat images that template name pasting has made there.

I am asking for a mere couple of days (at most) to have the opportunity to empty it before it gets filled up again. To meet my goal, I have "undone" some of your recent work. I ask your understanding and patience and just a little tolerance and for a couple of days (max) so that I can achieve my weird yet somewhat daunting (to me) goal.

Also, I think that the hindu goddess question at the Help desk is a little creepy. Also, I am trying to leave a message at your talk space at the commons, but that isn't working either. My signature actually works there -- probably because I made the most important template there. -- Carol 02:07, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

Karen Ralls

The article on Karen Ralls you wrote has been proposed for deletion, and undoubtedly will be if you dont add something to it, such as a list of her book sand a little more bio about her degrees and career. If you do, remove the PROD tag. When you write an article, it helps to say enough to show the notability. DGG (talk) 04:59, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Olomouc Synagogue‎

Re:Commons:Deletion requests/Image:Olomouc synagogue 1909.jpg. I have just noticed that the image has been deleted. In future would it be possible to notify me on my talkpage when nominating for deletion, as I was unaware of it. It was a scanned postcard. Thanks. Chesdovi (talk) 23:38, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Apologies! User:Slav transfered my images onto commons leaving out the copyright info. Chesdovi (talk) 23:54, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Database down?

Still? I'm getting a 500 error, & have been about a week. Any idea why? Or when it'll be up again? Trekphiler (talk) 00:03, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Uploading Images

Salut ! Thank you for your message. (I will write in English.) I have uploaded perhaps 100 images and posted them to pages on fr.Wikipédia & en.Wikipedia during the last six weeks. (I am adding public domain images of French composers. Approximately 66% of the images are from the Bibliothèque nationale de France website entitled Gallica.) I understand the categories for article pages (to which I always add if i see something missing), however I did not know or understand that there were Categories for images. I assumed a image search at Wikimédia Communs was searching label and image identification entered by users who download the images. - - Where does this Image Category belong? I do not see a field for entering Categories in the field entry boxes for Public Domain images and Art images which I use. - - Must I go back to the image and edit the information to add it after it is downloaded? - - Perhaps this Category field should be designed into the Wikimédia Commun templates so users like me will know that this is necessary! - - Thank you for your reply. You may reply in English. Bien amicalement ! Charvex (talk) 06:55, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Image:Greta Garbo.jpg

As you asked I clarified the source of the File:Greta Garbo02. BUT I've noticed a mistake: the Image:Greta Garbo.jpg is NOT as I first thought made by Alexander Binder but by Curt Oertel (who died in 1960). So this image is NOT pd. I don't know if I can address you (if you're an administrator). But could you delete the picture? I didn't mean to provide wrong information regarding the copyright status.
