Years in science

Your additions to the years in science pages are quite appreciated, but you might want to reconsider where you're putting detailed information. The years in science pages are intended to provide a brief overview of scientific discoveries. Detailed explanations and source citations should go on a linked-to page. -- Cyrius|&#9998 18:47, Apr 21, 2004 (UTC)

John Michell

Hi Jheise. I noticed that the text you added [1] to John Mitchell appears to be copied verbatim from [2]. As you know Wikipedia is very careful about copyright problems. Unless there is a notice on the page which allows copying under the GFDL, or permission is obtained in some other way from the copyright holder, the text can't be included in Wikipedia. For what it's worth, Wile E. Heresiarch 13:55, 14 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

reply: you are right. I reduced the text to the part that motivated me to include him in Wikipedia.

Image copywrites

Hi! Thanks for uploading Image:Oscillating line.jpg. I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag. Could you add one to let us know its copyright status? (You can use {{gfdl}} if you release it under the GFDL, or {{fairuse}} if you claim fair use, etc.) If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know where you got the images and I'll tag them for you. Thanks so much, Edwinstearns 17:11, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Article Licensing

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
Multi-Licensing Guide
Free the Rambot Articles Project

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1

I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:

OR

Option 2

I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

Image copyrights

Thanks for uploading Image:Parallel transport on globe.png. I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag. Could you add one to let us know its copyright status? (You can use {{gfdl}} if you release it under the GFDL, or {{fairuse}} if you claim fair use, etc.) If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know where you got the images and I'll tag them for you. Thanks so much, — Edwin Stearns | Talk 21:23, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Similarly Image:Path in polarcoordinates.png also needs a copyright tag. Can you give some pointers to the source of that image too? Also see the above message regarding the copyright of Image:Oscillating line.jpg. Thanks! -- Paddu 19:26, 19 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Also, Image:Rindler space1.png needs a copyright tag. Looking at the other images you have uploaded, and your other contributions, I suspect these images are of your own creation. But I have tagged this particular one as {{unverified}}. Let me know (on my talk page) where this image, or any of these came from and I will tag them all for you! --MaxPower 20:02, 2005 Jan 11 (UTC)

Unverified images

Hi! Thanks for uploading the following image:

Image:Einstein-ring-B1938_666.jpg

I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag. Could you add one to let us know its copyright status? (You can use {{gfdl}} if you release it under the GNU Free Documentation License, {{PD-self}} if you wish to release your own work to the public domain, {{fairuse}} if you claim fair use, etc.) If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know at my talk page where you got the images and I'll tag them for you. Thanks so much. Peter O. (Talk, automation script) 05:07, Dec 25, 2004 (UTC)

P.S. You can help tag other images at User:Yann/Untagged_Images. Thanks again.

Unspecified source for Image:Siriusb xrays.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Siriusb xrays.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify 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 file 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 meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, 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 files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may 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. Angr 18:11, 4 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

World Line Velocity Reference

Hello Jheise,

I am writing this message in regards to the "Trivial examples of spacetime curves" chart located in the World Line section which shows three different world lines traveling at different constant speeds.

I'm doing some research on world lines and was curious on where you found this chart? Do you know of any other good information regarding the velocity or speed of world lines?

Thanks, --Ecb0038 23:20, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
