John F. Whealon

I noticed that you placed a speedy tag on John F. Whealon. Since he was an archbishop of the Roman Catholic church, I think that he should automatically be regarded as notable. TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 23:25, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

It appeared to be a memorial instead of an actual article. That is why I tagged it. Ryūlóng 23:32, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Ukrainian logos

"Those logos do not fall under fair use doctrine or copyright violations, as they have been produced in the public domain. They can be used as if they were any other free use image on Misplaced Pages. If you continue these actions, you may be subject to longer blocks."

{{PD-UA-exempt}}

I'll repeat for you in case you do not understand: "this work is in the public domain within Ukraine and possibly in other jurisdictions". Since US law has that the copyright of every work published is owned by the publisher, and since the WP servers are in US, US law applies, and UA teams could ask to WP to remove the logos. So it is under fair use that the logos are used in WP, and fair use does not include "decoration" of articles. See Misplaced Pages talk:Logos.--Kwame Nkrumah 00:31, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Except copyright law in the Ukraine, where these images were made and everything, are the copyrights followed by Misplaced Pages. Ryūlóng 00:32, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Really? So Misplaced Pages servers, that are located in the US are extempted by abiding the US law on things that have been originated abroad? If it is so, why it is sayed that fair use is applicable only to files hosted in the US?--Kwame Nkrumah 00:36, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

The servers that these images are on have no meaning in this. They are released under Ukranian copyright laws. Ryūlóng 00:37, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
