User:Russavia/Top

Can you help?!?

I am in constant need of photos for various articles I am working on, and I am in dire need of the following photos from around the globe. So I turn to the community in the hope that someone out there is able to take the photos that I require.

If you can help with photos of any of these subjects, please upload them to Commons, and then post a short message with a link to the photos on my English Misplaced Pages talk page.

In the event you don't have a Commons log-in, you can email them to me at russavia.wikipedia@gmail.com and advise which licence you would like to licence them under, and I can do the uploading, categorisation, etc.

I have provided as much detail on what I require, including addresses, links to online maps, and photos of the subject that I am unable to upload to Commons, in order for photographers to identify the subject I require.

More info at User:Russavia/Required photos

Notes

The Missing Flagicon at Template:Foreign relations of Russia

Hello Russavia I really like the fact that a change has been made to Template:Foreign relations of Russia but I am very dissapointed that the flagicon is removed from the template. Why did this happen twice. I always liked it very much and I feel very sad that I can't edit that template to put the flag of Russia there. I want the flag back. I want you to put the Flag back as soon as possible. Please put the flagicon back in Template:Foreign relations of Russia. Please do it. All of the other foreign relations templates at Misplaced Pages have flagicons on their templates as well as the Coat of arms. Please put the flagicon back on.

hi koov

added Lokomotiv section to plane crash article

I've added a 'background' paragraph of the team to the plane crash article. It's pared down from what was proposed, to be relevant. I put it first after the lead, but maybe it belongs in another location in the article. I am adding cites, and there are several already. ʘ alaney2k ʘ (talk) 20:54, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

  • lol Kolokol1 just suggested you're an interested person in the discussion on Berezovsky page working for Kremlin, because you contributed to some articles of Russian embassies. Checked your edits history, it has nothing to do with it lol) He's either ill or just a liar. He has by the way confessed he's associated with Berezovsky so I'm reporting conflict of interest finally http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest/Noticeboard

Re: Diplomats as "expats"

Hello, Russavia - Please be advised that this issue has been discussed previously at CFD. There is a clear concensus that diplomats (including ambassadors) are not -- I repeat NOT -- to be categorized as "Expatriates". (Have a look thru the other 200 categories if you would like confirmation of this point.) I hope I can count on you not to revert my forthcoming edits in this regard.

As for Russian/Soviet categories, there doesn't appear to be a clear pattern in that area, so I will leave those as-is. Regards, Cgingold (talk) 13:26, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

"Help needed to upload photos" huwiki

Hi,

I translated your request into Hungarian. I hope some people will start uploading those photos. Misibacsi (talk) 18:58, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

Great idea! R, I saw your note at WTAIRLINES, and I see there's a vintage Air Jamaica DC-8 pic listed. Are there anymore for AJ there? I rode on that airline as a child, so I'd love to help with some of those. I'd also be interested in any vintage Eastern Airlines photos, and BWIA also. - BilCat (talk) 19:25, 18 September 2011 (UTC)
I looked at SF's photos on airlines.net, and I found the DC-8, plus a 747 for AJ, and I'll try to add them later today. I'm especially interested in finding photos of AJ 727s, but I didn't find any by Steve Fitzgerald. Also, what's the procedure for getiing /downloadign the images, and do we need to cut out the copyright notices before uploading to commons? DO you have a cetral page for the procedures? Thanks. - BilCat (talk) 19:39, 18 September 2011 (UTC)
Bill, the best way to do it is to do searches on the various sites, not all are on airliners...some are on jetphotos.net for example. Just do the search, and see if any match what we have permission for. For example I know the following are available for uploading:

That's just a small selection of what is available. Eastern not too sure about as yet...

They can all be uploaded to Commons - just use the templates as described on my Commons user page. And of course, pass the word around to other editors.

If you see a photo on there, and need the photographer to be contacted, drop me a line, as it is possible I have already contacted them - I have an excel spreadsheet of 250+ photographers already contacted, and some I have already heard from, others i am waiting to hear from, etc.

any other questions, fire away. --Russavia 19:52, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

Air Jamaiaca 727s

--Russavia 19:55, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

Bilcat, commons:Category:Photos by Torsten Maiwald are now available for uploading - those are the AirJam pics above I said template was not yet done - his photos are here. Cheers --Russavia 11:40, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
Thanks much. I may have missed it, but what is the best procedure for acquiring the photos from the website, and preparing the image to be uploaded? (I know how to upload TO commons.) As it stands, I don't know what to do, so I'm not going to be able to help out. Thanks. - BilCat (talk) 15:03, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
Save the image that you need, remove the black bar at the bottom if possible, and upload it using the templates for the permission/licence. It's pretty straight forward. If you use this link (i.e. the old upload form) this will make it very easy. Don't use the new upload wizard as it makes the process more difficult and long-winded. --Russavia 06:49, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
