Fair use rationale for Image:PYLsydneyraceriots.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:PYLsydneyraceriots.jpg. 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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. B (talk) 01:04, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:PYLsydneyraceriots.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:PYLsydneyraceriots.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media 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 media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
2. 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 media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media 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. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use media which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. B (talk) 01:05, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

categorically saying that the laws contravene an international convention, where not everyone agrees that is the case, is POV. In my opinion and in many other people's view it does not contravene it. Please explain to me why you believe that there is no question about it. Xtra 08:33, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

If everyone is on an AWA, doesn't that imply that they have chosen not to be union? Aditionally laws and rules are open to interpretation, you and unions have interpretation of this convention and I and others have another. Xtra 10:42, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

As I said. It is a matter of interperetation. You are extraordinarily arrogant if you think that your interpretation is the only correct one. I know far more than you give me credit for and I take great offence at your assertion that because I dissagree with you, I must not know verry much. You may believe in a right to join a union, but I also believe in a right not to join a union. I believe that in a deregulated workplace, employement will increase and productivity will got up. Wages will increase and everyone will be on a level playing field. This can only be achieved if employers have as many rights as employees. Something that they do not have at the moment. I know an employer who was sued for unfair dissmissal for sacking a thief. Is that fair? The current laws are like shackles. They tie the people down. At least in my opinion. Xtra 06:33, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

You will never agree with me and I will never agree with you, but that is not the point. The point was that you ware claiming some kind of omnipotence in your opinion over mine. That is just plain wrong. I am entitled to my opinion, just as you are to yours, and to suggest otherwise is arrogant. And about PSYCH. PSYCH was a crazy and racist person and the Arbitration Committee dealt with him/her. I have time for everyone of all political persuasions, except those who refuse to recognise the legitimacy of other's opinions. Xtra 06:54, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

Deletion of 'green wikipedians' category

Hi. I saw you're (like me) listed in this category which is up for deletion. Hoped you'd like to vote in favor of keeping it... Even if I'm Dutch, whom you don't seem to like ;) Thanks! Larix 02:25, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

My pleasure entirely. Thanks for the voting!

One other thing, btw. I've been looking at your userboxes, and thought you might be interested in adding this one: {{user humanist}}, being atheist and freethinking and all :) Larix 13:13, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Your comment on the Kerry Packer talk page

Hi. Are you sure it's a good idea to mention how you feel about Packer's death on the talk page? Thanks, Andjam 02:14, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

I guess I'm just a stickler for civility. Sure, criticise his actions, but I just felt that it was unhelpful to say that you're glad / not unhappy he died. On a side note, I don't anticipate the same rose-tinted glasses for Packer that were used for Joh. Andjam 03:01, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

Your philosophies

Hi Dankru, and Happy New Year. I couldn't help feeling that your "philosophies" on your user page are mostly criticisms of other people's philosophies. I'd be much more interested in knowing what you advocate. Cheers JackofOz 04:33, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Hey, I like the new version. Cheers JackofOz 10:59, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Height of Alisa Camplin

Hi Dankru,

Your comment She is Australian. We use the metric system. There is a Wikipedia policy on this was a bit harsh. It wasn't attempt to establish American hegemony. Many Australians prefer using pounds, shillings and pence for height.

Incidentally, what's the policy? Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_(dates_and_numbers)#Measurements doesn't seem to indicate anything. Other policies would be that Australian English should be used, but imperial units is sometimes part of said English. Thanks, Andjam 22:52, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the comment on the Alisa Camplin page! Really appreciate it Banana.girl 05:30, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:56846922.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:56846922.jpg. 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 Image legality questions page. Thank you. — Rebelguys2 ^talk 00:08, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Gabba

Hi, I noticed you changed Gabba from a redirect to a disambiguation. It has caused loads of links to a disambiguation paged instead of going to Gabber music. Is there a fast way of changing them all over or should it be changed back? Not really sure but I thought you might know/be able to help. Cheers Rex the first 19:02, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

I have fixed many if the redirects but just so you know in future see Disambiguation next time. Sorry if this seems a bit pedantic but I thought it might help in future. Rex the first 08:51, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

North Sydney Boys' High School

Hey,

I noticed in your november '05 talk page comment that you called your experience at NSBHS 'horrible', and I'm sorry to hear that. I graduated in 2004 and during that final year most of the grade pulled together, and there was a real camaraderie between students and a good relationship between teachers and students. While personally I am not the most easiest person to get along with or the most sociable of people I left on good terms with most of the people in the grade, and I'd like to think others like me had the same experience. Having gone to uni and discussed high school experiences with a number of people, I feel lucky that my school didn't have as widespread bullying problems or social cliques that would go out of their way to exclude people socially as seems to be the case in many high schools, especially in single-sex schools it seems. Overall I'd say my high school experience was better at NSB than it would have been at another public school.

Now that I've explained my experience I should point out that I'm not trying to have a go at you, and I can understand how you could have had a negative experience. By good fortune of having classmates who shared a good sense of humour and an egalitarian nature I enjoyed my high school experience when my character and personality (and complete lack of interest in sports) might have led me to have a miserable experience had I attended another school. I am curious though, what was it about NSB that made you characterise it as 'horrible', and what year did you finish?

Cheers

Unnamed 08:43, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Hello, anon. Might I suggest you get an account as I don't like talking to anonymous people, if for no other reason than there's no way of them knowing I have responded unless they check this page. And I do not take what you said as criticism of what I said at all.

As to when I finished, lets' say it was a few years before you. But not that long ago. I don't like coincedences and to answer the actual year may well give away my identity as I have come across more than one former student online. And often "Falconians" have older brothers or friends who went to NSBHS.

You sound a tad like me actually, in how you describe yourself. The difference is that my year was full of cliques and I had a falling out with the one I was in. By that stage it was too late to establish new social networks and ex-friends went out of their way to make my life miserable. Egalitarianism was not a culture I experienced much there.

In all honesty, I never quite fit in at any rate. I am a bit of a radical and found the notion of wearing blazers conformist and elitist. I also despised the way people would look down on other schools, particularly local non-selective high schools. This too was elitist. Teachers encouraged this elitism and a sense of forboding if you did not succeed, as if the HSC is the end of the world - it is not. It was pathetic.

I also think that selective high schools these days are not really for gifted students, but really are just dominated by students with rich parents who can afford to send their kids to an insane number of hours of extra tutoring. The whole process has been subverted. No doubt I will sound racist, but I thought it was not fair to kids born in Australia to not get into schools (since their parents had actually paid taxes in Aus) to lose places to students who often had lived most of their life overseas. Some students even had parents who had never been in Australia. But that is more a general criticism of the social contract and the effects of globalisation. For the record, my best friends are from NESB (non English speaking backgrounds).

So my background is quite different. My own shyness and personality probably did not help the situation. But I loved my university studies and the independence and real learning I did there. In all honesty, I don't remember most of the crap I learnt at high school - tests were largely regurgitation exercises. So, the place was horrible to me, but most students from NSBHS seemed to have liked it - each to their own as they say.Dankru 12:52, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

Personal Attack

Personal attacks are not acceptable on wikipedia under any circumstance. Can you please explain why you resorted to one here and here? Xtra 15:07, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

What you said is a personal attack. Telling another editor that I am mindlessly reverting some worthwhile edit encourages vandalism by those who think you will back up their POV pushing. If you cannot see that then that is your problem not mine. I am trying to create a reputable and neutral encyclopaedia here. Xtra 08:56, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

As the user who's talk page is the subject of this I would like to state categorically that my opinion of the user Xtra has been effected imeasurably more by Xtra's own actions and words than by the 3 lines of text written by Dankru. I in fact found the the note from Dankru to be valuable in terms of this opinion being shared by another and not an isolated one.—Dananimal 00:30, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Greens and Dems

Certainly the Democrat leadership has adopted this view (that the Greens are 'too radical' to play the Dems' historical role), largely IMHO because they are concerned by the perception that a large portion of their support has been transferred to the Greens. I suppose we all should look at the figures, but I might underline the view that Democrats voters abandoned their party for the Greens is certainly popular among the Democrats themselves. Slac speak up! 09:52, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

Template

I am happy to put the code of the deleted template on your user page. I would have been happier if you hadn't decided to throw civility out the window while contacting me. What I did was not arbitrary, indecent, or enforcing my viewpoint; it was enforcing policy. Wikipedia is not a democracy or a bureaucracy. Dmcdevit·t 17:34, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Australian Maritime Officers Union

Hi Dankru, I just replaced the AMOU logo on this page. I managed to find one that was a little larger, without the background colour. If you're OK with that, I'll list Image:Amou.gif for deletion. (BTW, there needs to be a source for each image. I would assume this gif came from the AMOU website, but the link needs to be included on the image page.) Cheers. --Bookandcoffee 20:44, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Re:Interesting mix

Hey Dankru, thanks for your message. When I was growing up, my parents always told me that I'm unique! :)
I think party politics is often hereditary. My parents are both Liberal Party members and they actually met at a Liberal Party function--Robert Timms's daughter set them up! Now that I'm all grown up, I guess I'm more of an independent, politically. I share some of the concerns you express on your user page, and I disagree with many Liberal policies but I'm also not keen on the ALP.
With all the current problems with workplace reforms, I think it is particularly important to be a member of a union. At least it seems that way in my field.
Thanks for saying hello; it's always nice to meet another Aussie. Cheers, Sarah Ewart (Talk) 08:13, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

P.S. Wow! That TV Week image of Rachel Friend and Craig McLachlan was a real "blast from the past!" Sarah Ewart (Talk) 08:13, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

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.

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 insure 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 fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and 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.BetacommandBot 16:58, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi You have put a "press kit" licence on this image. I strongly doubt that this photo would be a part of SMH's press kit. Can you point me to where you got it from so I can put the correct licence on it please? Otherwise it will be removed as a copyvio. Thanks Garrie 22:05, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Get a life

I don't have the time to write every single fair use rationale. Dont' you have anything better to do with yourself? Dankru 00:51, 21 June 2007 (UTC) Favorite statement about ORFU images:

It is your responsibility to provide the fair use rationale, or you shouldn't be uploading the content. If you don't have time, the problem will resolve itself when the pictures are deleted, but this is a good faith effort to retain as many pics as possible within the legal protections needed to keep from getting sued. - CHAIRBOY (☎) 13:57, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

A followup, if you continue to upload images as fair use without rationales, you will be blocked to protect the project. - CHAIRBOY (☎) 22:15, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Racq.jpg)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Ansett logo.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Ansett logo.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Image copyright problem with File:Thepanel.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Thepanel.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

• That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
• That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Proposed deletion of Elementary Time Unit

The article Elementary Time Unit has been proposed for deletion. The proposed-deletion notice added to the article should explain why.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Non-free rationale for File:Warwicktodd.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Warwicktodd.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. 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 any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.
