Pictures

At this point I really don't care about the status of pictures I've uploaded before notation was standardized. Most are public domain; some are simply conversions of pictures others have uploaded. Given the cavalier picture deletion activities that have evidently occurred while I was on break, I don't feel too bad about this attitude either. - Hephaestos|§ 06:14, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Sumo.jpeg

Hi Hephaestos, I was wondering about the copyright status of Image:Sumo.jpeg. It is tagged as public domain and comes from [1] (http://runiicomputing.fnal.gov/strongdynamics/web/strongdynamicsposter.html). How do we know this is public domain? silsor 04:54, Mar 13, 2005 (UTC)

Because it is from a .gov website. - Hephaestos|§ 08:25, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)

We know that works of the US federal government are PD, but what about random photos from a 1994 Fermilab poster that just happens to be on a .gov web site? I'm not trying to be difficult, just labeling images more accurately. silsor 15:14, Mar 13, 2005 (UTC)

If it were a non-government photo there would be an author or a disclaimer on it; there's none. - Hephaestos|§ 01:49, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Okay, copied this talk to the image page. silsor 15:26, Mar 14, 2005 (UTC)

your fr:page

fr:Utilisateur:Hephaestos is a redirect to fr:Utilisateur:Mr. Fuck and seems often vandalised, must we restore the page at his original place and protect it ? please reply on fr:discussion utilisateur:phe phe 05:04, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Sorry, but it wasn't really me, sir! And I don't even have an account on French or Hungarian Wikipedia. That's the truth! -- Mike Garcia | talk 16:53, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Now somebody redirected it to fr:Utilisateur:Vagina this time. I didn't do that either. -- Mike Garcia | talk 04:34, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I revered a minor vandalism ("fuck", twice) yesterday on Confederation. There was a vandalism on my page on fr: afterwards, "Yeah, right, I said fuck you" (minor too, obvious lack of imagination) signed with your signature on fr: - from an ip of course. Ok, I didn't think for a second you did that. Looks like you have some enemy. Didup 07:54, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Another user page, Oliezecat was edited the same way as mine, that is same text and your signature. So maybe it is unrelated with Confederation, that one might have been an honest run-of-the-mill vandal and not your Enemy ;D Didup 09:38, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Nope, that wasn't me either. Please don't ban me again. -- Mike Garcia | talk 14:49, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Michael confirms

Since you're back, Hephaestos. I would just like to confirm that I was NOT at your french Wikipedia account at all. I did not even move your page and everything. Feel free to e-mail me. -- Mike Garcia | talk 23:08, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Methinks thou dost protest too much. How is it, Michael, that you always know when someone harrasses me here? - Hephaestos|§ 08:41, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Hephaestos, I'm just trying to wish that you'd understand that it wasn't me at your language accounts. Please, I don't want to be banned again! -- Mike Garcia | talk 17:11, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Farewell

Sorry to see you getting sick of the place. Le sigh - another good user bites the dust. Ambi 03:28, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Best wishes, Heph, drop a line if you want to get together for a beer sometime. I'll buy. The Uninvited Co., Inc. 02:34, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Hi Hephaestos, sorry to see you go :-( I protected your user page on german wikipedia since someone (Michael?) kept reverting it. Drop me a note on de:Benutzer Diskussion:Elian if you want to unprotect it again. Best wishes, --Elian 01:55, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I didn't know that you had gone. Please come back (even though you are ahead of me in the statistics). Deb 21:57, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Sorry, Elian, but it wasn't me who vandalized his page on German Wikipedia and I never ever did that. It's just too bad he had to leave probably because of me thinking I did it but, it really wasn't me and I didn't do this one (http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=10380613) either. Please, I don't want to be banned again! -- Mike Garcia | talk 15:41, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)

missed you

I came to your page because I wanted your opinion of a paragraph that I'd added to Nobel Peace Prize. But you're not here. That's good - there are 314,159,265 better things to do than sit around and edit Wikipedia. You're probably doing at least 27 of them. Cheers, -Willmcw 05:40, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)
