Help Project newsletter : Issue 5
 Issue V - January 2013 | |
|
Hello again from the Help Project! In the last newsletter (which was quite a while ago sorry!) I talked about my fellowship and the plans for improving the main portal page, Help:Contents. Well I'm sad to say that my fellowship is now over, but very happy to say that the proposed improvements to that page have been completed and implemented. Do check it out if you haven't already. Another important and frequently used help page, Misplaced Pages:Contact us, has also seen a significant revamp. You may recognise the design inspiration from the new tutorial pages. In project news, we now have a subscription to the "article alerts" service. Any deletion nominations, move discussions, or requests for comments on pages within the Help Project's scope will now show up at Misplaced Pages:Help Project/Article alerts. So that's definitely a page which project members might want to watch. Any comments or suggestions for future issues are welcome at Misplaced Pages:Help Project/Newsletter. If you don't wish to receive this newsletter on your talk page in future then just edit the participants page and add "no newsletter" next to your name. |
Sarah, I need help
I might have put this in the wrong place the first time, so I'm trying again.
Hi Sarah. You've been helpful to me in the past, so I figure I'd come to you. I need help with two things:
1) I'm trying to upload a picture (File:Lawrance A. Bohm from Bohm Law Group website.jpg). I sent an email to the permissions email showing that I had permission from the copyright holder to upload the picture, but nothing happened. See below.
2) Also, see message from Jim below. He stated "The third is that the WP:EN article-to-be (Misplaced Pages talk:Articles for creation/Lawrance A. Bohm) reads like a sales brochure for Mr. Bohm's services. I am uncomfortable with Commons supporting what looks like a publicist's work. Bradley J. Mancuso, who is our requester here and the sole author of the article at WP:EN, works for Mr. Bohm."
I have tried really hard to follow the instructions for creating a new page. I've provided a bunch of sources to demonstrate the notoriety of the subject and I've worked to keep the page neutral. I've followed formats of similar pages. This page is no different than these pages:
http://en.wikipedia.org/Mark_Lanier
http://en.wikipedia.org/Gloria_Allred
http://en.wikipedia.org/Juan_Dominguez_%28lawyer%29
I could list several more.
Can you please help me? What do I need to do?
Here are past messages regarding this page/image:
Regarding the below file/image, I was given this response: File:Lawrance A. Bohm from Bohm Law Group website.jpg
I have been given full permission to use this picture. The owner of this picture is Lawrance A. Bohm. He personally took the picture, posted it on another website, and owns the copyright. Mr. Bohm has given me full permission to use this picture. Bjm99c (talk) 01:23, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
Not done. OTRS permission from the copyright holder is needed before the file can be restored. INeverCry 03:07, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
Please see below message from the copyright holder of this image giving permission to use this file/image.

Yes to both questions.
Kind regards,

Symbol oppose vote.svg Oppose I have three problems with this.
The first is that this appears to be a professional, posed, portrait. It looks to me very unlikely that the subject took it himself as claimed above. It is far more likely that the copyright is owned by the photographer.
The second is that the permission above is very casual. There is absolutely no indication that Mr. Bohm understands that he is licensing the use of his image for use anywhere, including commercial use and derivative works. Although it doesn't say so, I think what appears above amounts to a Misplaced Pages only license.
The third is that the WP:EN article-to-be (Misplaced Pages talk:Articles for creation/Lawrance A. Bohm) reads like a sales brochure for Mr. Bohm's services. I am uncomfortable with Commons supporting what looks like a publicist's work. Bradley J. Mancuso, who is our requester here and the sole author of the article at WP:EN, works for Mr. Bohm.
Therefore, as INC says above, we need both a license from the actual photographer, using the procedure at Commons:OTRS and some consideration of whether this violates COM:ADVERT. . Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 22:31, 8 January 2013 (UTC) Bjm99c (talk) 20:39, 19 January 2013 (UTC)
- Hi Bjm. I'm really sorry to do this, but, it might be a good idea to stop by the Teahouse for quicker help. I'm pretty busy with some other things and I fear that I won't be able to give you the time and attention you deserve regarding your problems. I actually co-created the Teahouse to provide fast and super helpful..well..help for editors like yourself. I hope that's okay if I send you there. Sorry :( SarahStierch (talk) 20:41, 19 January 2013 (UTC)
That's ok, I'll try that. Thank you. Bjm99c (talk) 05:50, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
Thanks
Dear Sarah, thanks a lot for the encouragement on my talk page. Since then, I have got that article and another one accepted through AfC, and started a third one directly. Thanks! Amuk (talk) 06:38, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
Invites to the Teahouse
Hello Sarah, I am a fairly new user who has been reading about the development and implementation of the Teahouse. I read that your fellowship ends at the end of the month. I have some ideas and feedback concerning inviting and attracting new editors to the Teahouse. I am not sure who to approach with my thoughts. Other than the Hosts, is there a regular group that will continue with maintainence and new improving development , now that the pilot program is over? Could you please let the know the correct person to contact either here or at MediaWiki? Thank you very much. Probing Mind (talk) 11:32, 21 January 2013 (UTC) Hi there. The best place to find help or join in is either at the Teahouse talk page, or via meta, but the talk page will be checked more frequently. So I'd stop by there and post a message! Thank you :) SarahStierch (talk) 17:53, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

Re: "Li Sao" illustrations
Hi SarahStierch: First I'd like to thank you for your fine work. Just this morning, I was thinking how wonderful to find some illustrations for the "Li Sao" and related articles. How wonderful to see someone else had been working in this area and was ahead of me! I wouldn't bother you about this, but I guess as WDL Wikipedian in residence, you should know that the Illustrated Li Sao actually appears to be the Chu Ci anthology (despite the title printed on the book cover), of which "Li Sao" is one of many sections. I'll try to work on this, at least in English Misplaced Pages and Commons. It might take a while, since if it keeps on raining like this we'll probably loose PG&E here, plus Misplaced Pages is apparently headed into read-only mode for a few days, plus I still have to finish reading through the material, plus.... Anyway, thank you again. Dcattell (talk) 22:01, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
- Hi there. So you believe the documentation on the WDL website is incorrect? I'm currently wading through the content from their website that has been uploaded to Commons. This is a pretty big deal if this isn't what they're saying it, since it's part of the Library of Congress and we'll have to inform LOC staff. Thanks! SarahStierch (talk) 22:51, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
- Also, how can we prove that it's not the Li Sao? I just need to make sure I have all the necessary information before I present this to WDL/LOC. Thanks! SarahStierch (talk) 23:04, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
- For a student of the Classical Chinese language (not the most popular language, since it's a "dead language", like Latin), it's clear that there is some inaccuracy in the description at WDL (not sure about LOC yet). It's more like a bit of a confusion or mix up, than a really huge error, though it seems to be worth addressing. Basically, the 1645 book is a Qing dynasty edition of a poetry anthology of which the known editions have usually been published under the title of the Chuci (meaning collected materials in or of the style of the ancient Chinese state named Chu), which has had many editions. The most famous (and signature) poem is "Li Sao", by Qu Yuan. The edition at WDL happened to be re-titled with the main title "Illustrated Li Sao". It probably has a subtitle somewhere that says "And Other Poems by Qu Yuan", or something like that. So, it's true that the images are all from a book called "Illustrated Li Sao"; however, not all of the images involved are of the poem "Li Sao", just the ones in the "Li Sao" section. There are other sections where different poems are illustrated, for example the one you posted at Li Sao is from "Lord of the East", as the caption on the picture indicates (東君), although in older forms of the Chinese characters (the modern simplified version is even more different). Anyway, the poem "Lord of the East" is not the poem "Li Sao", even though it's in a book titled Illustrated Li Sao (and other poems). Thus, that one image is an illustration of the poem "Lord of the East", from the book Illustrated Li Sao but it wasn't an illustration of the poem "Li Sao"! Hence the confusion! That's it, basically, thought it gets a bit more complicated. Let me see what I can do in the next couple of days, and I'll look a bit more into it and do what I can to help come up with a detailed explanation/proof. I should be able to get some help from some academically-oriented editors that are into Classical Chinese, maybe user:Keahapana, if he's not too disgruntled about the CI stuff.

Music For All Seasons Help
Hi Sarah, I have been working on a wikipedia page for Music For All Seasons, a non-profit music therapy organization in New Jersey. I am new to Misplaced Pages and after trying multiple times to create a page, I have been denied. And I am looking for some help. After you reviewed my page in October, I spent some time really working on it and updating the sources and finding valid sources. Any help or suggestions you could give me to help me get this page published would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

iRobust deleted?
I spent some time starting a article on a serious scientific society. Did you happen to take a look at the website of the society before deleting the article? The article that I started was just a stub. But it is likely that members of the society would be happy to expand the article.
iRobust is a highly significant society as evidenced by the prestige of the members of its Board as listed in the article. It has already had tremendous impact with its first Symposium Inconsistency Robustness 2011. The Program Committee of its forthcoming symposium Inconsistency Robustness 2014 includes the international leading experts.Untalker (talk) 16:16, 26 January 2013 (UTC)
