Picture

Hey man, thanks for the help. I was just trying to get the picture in as a stepping stone for the article. Although there isn't much information on the SEC Fanfare, I was just trying to put something pertinant to the article in there. I'll scan a high res copy on later, thanks.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Mastrchf91 (talk • contribs)

Orphaned Image

Sure no problem the image won't be useful to me anymore since it can't be used for my original purpouse, so it can be deleted no problem-Dark Dragon Flame 22:55, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

1927 Georgia Bulldogs football team

NMajdan: I was in the process of writing you about this when I saw your latest change. Yes, it is only a redirect to Georgia Bulldogs football under Kid Woodruff#1927 Season. I think it is a NA, but don't know if the banner needs to be there at all. Since there was already a banner there, I thought I'd leave it. Do you know if a custom has been developed for redirects?--Tlmclain | Talk 23:01, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

I've taken the banner off. With respect to those Auburn pages, they're on my list to merge, I just don't know when - I keep coming up with new projects without finishing ones I've started . . . . . --Tlmclain | Talk 23:13, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks - Midwinter1.jpg

Thanks for sorting out the licence on this picture - I did wonder how to do it at the time, but couldn't find any obvious info. I'll know now!

Ok Send me the link to put my reference

Send me the link so that i put the information of the image i cant find it now. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ibrahimkhel (talk • contribs) 22:49, 18 January 2007 (UTC).

BUT how do i add the source information??????

BUT how do i add the source information??????

The picture belongs to the author he sent me via email. Its he who has taken the picture and he sent it to me to publish it in wikipedia along with his biography.

i dont know how to add that information

i know nothing more. just do whatever you want to do or whatever the wikipedia wants to do. weather you will keep it or not.

if you want me to stop writing in wikipedia then i would do it. just dont bother me with many warning notes anymore. i dont have that much patient. well goodbye —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ibrahimkhel (talk • contribs) 22:55, 18 January 2007 (UTC).

OK

Now i have done what you said. dont send me any more messages. I will not do anything more for you. Just let me live with peace. I have written all the information now.

National Titles

NMajdan: Before taking this idea to the entire group at WP:CFB, I thought I'd run the idea by a couple of guys that seem to be level-headed, have experience in the Project and are telented designers. I have become convinced that we need a fully-integrated solution to infoboxes and football championship article. I think that if we can give some semblance of order to the football championship article, then the infobox problem will solve itself. My idea is to redo the main year-by-year table to fully report all claims to the National Title in each year, but designate the "Wire Champ" and the "Consensus Champ" each year. Then the infoboxes would reference "Wire Champs" and "Consensus Champs" and tie back to the year-by-year table. Take a look at National Champ project and you will see a few sample years that illustrate how this would work. The sources for the poll information will be the NCAA and College Football Data Warehouse. Let me know what you think about the idea and, if you like it, how it can be improved. Also, you are more than welcome to fool around with my test table. Thanks--Tlmclain | Talk 03:28, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

I also solicited the help of MECU and he found my initial message less than clear. I have posted a much more detailed description of my "vision" on his talk page.--Tlmclain | Talk 05:26, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your comments. Please let me know if there are any other hotly contested years to add to the sample table. At MECU's suggestion, I am going to add 1967, which is one of the years that Tennessee fans seem to fight about (it already has 1941 for the Alabama folks). The idea is to include a selection of the more controversial years to that participants in the discussion at WP:CFB can better evaluate the table and the approach when I post it there.--Tlmclain | Talk 16:03, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

NMajdan: I just went live with the presentation of this idea on WP:CFB at Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject College football#National Titles. Your input would be appreciated.--Tlmclain | Talk 22:30, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Re: Fritzbot

Yes, it's still operational, I just have been busy with other stuff lately. I'll let it run through the unused images somewhen next week. --Fritz Saalfeld (Talk) 14:38, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Rutgers and OU Peer Reviews

Thank you for taking the time to offer your comments and suggestions regarding Rutgers University. Though a couple days late, I was able to reciprocate for the University of Oklahoma peer review. I am quite impressed by the article, and it's given me several ideas I can take back to improve the Rutgers article. When this does go up for FA candidacy, please do let me know, because I will gladly support it. —ExplorerCDT 20:52, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

CFB Schedule templates

Hello, I am about to make some 2007 season pages and I'd like to use the templates, but it looks like attendance did not make it in. Would it be possible to add this? I think it is important. Thanks for your help with this and also thanks again for your review of BGM. Best, Johntex\ 04:33, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Did we decide to not add it or did we just not decide to add it? I don't recall any opposition to it being included, though I seem to remember no one but me was pushing for it. Since you have made so many of the fields optional, perhaps attendance could be included and made optional as well? Johntex\ 16:04, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Excellent!! Thank you!! I guess I must be one of the few who thinks a record of the attendance is important. Anyway, I will now convert the table I just made at 2007 Texas Longhorn football team into these templates. Best, Johntex\ 16:42, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

OU Peer Review

I've added some comments to the OU Peer Review. I've also made a whole bunch of minor corrections and edits to the article. --ElKevbo 16:55, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Do you need any more comments or feedback on the OU article? —ExplorerCDT 13:03, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

• I should be able to take another swipe at it this afternoon. —ExplorerCDT 13:47, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

OU Talk page

Is there a particular reason you deleted material from the OU Talk page? I assume it was an accident but if you could restore the comments it would be appreciated. Thanks! --ElKevbo 21:50, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Oklahoma.gif

I have been trying desperately to sort through the copyright procedures on wikipedia, and I am having trouble trying to add a tag to something I've already uploaded. This image and a few others featuring pro helmets are images I've uploaded in an attempt to assist with the Oklahoma football articles, specifically articles on various former OU players. This file, like a few others I've uploaded, was created by Charles Arey, author of the Helmet Project . This file has been released for free distribution by its author for all uses, excluding only commercial use (whenever the reuser may be gaining something monetarily for its use). The author spells this out at the bottom of the website:

You may feel free to copy the helmet pictures on these pages and use them (in moderation) on your own non-commercial conference, school, or personal web pages. Universities and colleges, in particular, are welcome to use the collection in any way they wish, including media guides, game programs, etc., but I regret to note that I am unable to provide versions of the helmet images that are of different sizes or higher resolutions than you see at this site (the software that I have does not allow me to save the images at higher resolutions than you see here). All I would ask in return is that you help by posting a link to the "Helmet Project" from your web page so that additional people will find the site and contribute towards its development, and please contribute information yourself whenever you can. Commercial use of the images is NOT permitted, because the various colleges and professional teams own all such rights to their respective logos; so do not attempt to print these images onto some product that you intend to sell. Re-distribution of the images en masse on CD or other media is absolutely prohibited. Also, please don't be a jerk and copy the entire gallery of helmet images at this site off to another similar web site. I consider a few dozen images up to a hundred or so to be an acceptable number to use; many more than that is not.

If my rationale is in error, please point this out to me, so that I may seek special permission from the author. The images on the site, according to my interpretation, are free use. I believe this requires a GFDL tag to comply with the wikipedia copyright policy. I do not fully understand how to do so. I don't even know if I am thinking about this free use license stuff the correct way. My experience in copyright law is minimal.

RE: Image Help

You are awesome. Next time I'm in Tulsa, I'll buy you a beer. z4ns4tsu\ 04:54, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

I think that would be fine. I think since it's just you or me (seemingly), that either of us putting an article into rotation that both of us (and others) that hasn't received any objection (like yours on the Florida page) should be "automatic" and acceptable and not need any discussion. Items like the Florida, since you've objected (which I'm fine with, it only meets the basic requirements) shouldn't be automatic and in order to be put in, either you would need to put it in yourself (thus saying that your objection is noted but we don't have anything else "ready"?) or you or you state that you're fine with the changes to the article that allow it to be used now (and I could put it in eventually). My only thoughts is that we're likely to get more attention before the season and during the season, so we may want to save our "better" articles until then? --MECU≈talk 18:33, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

It doesn't matter if he changed the license back. It was valid at that once time and we used it under that license at that time which he can't remove from us. Since it's been validated by an admin, it'll stay no matter what now. I've found quite a lot of pictures that aren't free on flickr. I've asked folks to change them and more are completely willing to do so, some are even pleased and honored that you want to use their work! I think we should write a page on how to do this, similar to the how to request permission page, but be flickr centric. --MECU≈talk 18:44, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

• Great work on the OU article. Thanks for keeping up your hard work. I will give it a thorough re-read and I anticipate being able to support the nom. If I spot any problems I will let you know. Johntex\ 19:39, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm fine with the CFB Portal picks for Feb. I still am not clear on how to do it, so I'll watch how you do it this month and then I could help out in the future. Good work jump starting the portal in the activity. --MECU≈talk 16:30, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

You came in and took away my thunder with your AWB and changing the category name. No biggie, was just wondering why near the end the pages were already transfered, and then I saw you were using AWB. I'll let you move Category:2007 NCAA Division I-BS football season to the new name using your speedy AWB edits to save my fingers then. --MECU≈talk 16:25, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Column

Thanks for trying to help me. Sorry for being so dense. I meant the {{col-begin}} {{col-2}} TEXT FOR FIRST COLUMN {{col-2}} TEXT FOR SECOND COLUMN sequense. I would like to set the width of the second column and let the first column float with the screen resolution. Is this possible? Frank van Mierlo 22:38, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Modifying my comments?

Care to explain this edit? —Dgies 23:32, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, didn't mean to sound so accusational. Notice I didn't accuse you of any nefarious intent, but it was more of a "What is going on here?" —Dgies 02:10, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Proper tagging of Images in the Chicago Bears article

I read your note about images being properly credited on the Chicago Bears page - I posted the picture of the 1924 team. I have a number of PR images from the early NFL, some of them of my father as a New York Giant. These obviously were taken by a professional photographer for the use of the Giants, but along the way the Giants lost their copies. They have used images from my collection a couple of time in their publications and also for a Time-Life book on the 75th Anniversary of the Giants - and in each case they have said "used with permission" of Michael Moran or the Moran family collection. So when the upload image page asks for the source, I've never been quite sure how to put it. I changed the Summary on the Image:Bears 1924.jpg page and would appreciate your comment on how I worded it - also on my user page I have all the images I've uploaded so I be curious on your opinion of how I've documented their status Revmoran 23:55, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:AdrianPeterson.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:AdrianPeterson.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. 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. 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 Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.
