Welcome

Hello David, and welcome to Wikipedia! Nice work on People's Republic of China's trademark law. If you need help at any time, Wikipedia:Help and The Wikipedia:FAQs are there for you. And, you can always ask a question at the Wikipedia:Village pump. Cheers! -- Stephen Gilbert 13:19 Apr 17, 2003 (UTC)

Nice work on Rottnest Island, David. Seeing as I seem to be working on Australian mammals today, I'll see if I can't give you a species account for the Quokka to go with it shortly. Cheers -- Tannin 13:59 Apr 25, 2003 (UTC)

My pleasure, David. :)

Kansai images

Hey David, I got a couple more image from the Kansai area but need to pick the best ones first and do some color corrections to make up for the rather gray sky in the background :(. Give me some time and I eventually get them up on wikipedia.

entertainment law

David, I've done some editing on entertainment law please feel free to change anything, it is done in the spirit of cooperative evolutionary editing. Also if you think someone might be using a page as a substitute for legal advice you might want to link to (or even modify):

'''Please note: [[Wikipedia:Legal advice|Wikipedia does not give legal advice]].'''

And, while I am making suggestions if you know anything about fair dealing take a quick look at that page when you can, I put some stuff in about fd under Canadian and English law and a comment about the © of laws/cases which may not be accurate under Australian law — I am assuming it is similar to Canadian Crown copyright in this regard. Finally, it was suggested that we should add new legal topic pages to list of legal topics so that we don't have to keep all the legal articles on the watch list, but still see what changes are being made. Good show on personality rights. Alex756 22:22 May 12, 2003 (UTC)

David, I saw you removed that parenthetic comment under Australian law under fair dealing there was some discussion about these comments (that is really one of many) on the talk page there, BTW do you know that you can pop your user name in here just by typing three or four tilde characters like this: ~~~ with only three of them your just get your user name, with four there is also a timestamp. I haven't met your friend, but I have heard of his film Tai Tai there is a very active film community here in NYC and lots of activities (like the Independent Feature Project, quite a few filmmaker associations,, etc) and a few well known film festivals like the Tribeca Film Festival, it's a fairly large community. Alex756

I always take a look at the talk page (if it is not highlighted in red (default color scheme) that means someone has posted something on the talk page which may be useful before editing. Sometimes there is material that has been dumped on the talk page that can be merged into the main page, Ive done that myself from the 1911 Encyclopedia on Talk:real property, nice start on chain of title I added a link to a guide to title searching at the U.S.C.O..

Hello. You implicitly asked me to expand upon my misgivings about your grammar and style in your citizen's arrest article. You said a citizen's arrest can be done for

a public offence committed, etc., etc., ...
when a felony, etc., etc., ...

Such an arrest can be done "for when a felony has been committed"? Do you see nothing wrong with "for when"? And I think it is widely and for good reason held to be bad style to define things by saying "X is when blah blah happens." Michael Hardy 21:55 23 Jul 2003 (UTC)

Hello! I have some publications by Hong Kong Government before 1990. Could I copy its content onto Wikipedia? wshun 17:58 24 Jul 2003 (UTC)

Hi, I read that you need some help sizing up some images, I can do it with Photoshop if you like. - Hephaestos 05:14, 29 Jul 2003 (UTC)

Sure, email would be fine. The address is in my user page. - Hephaestos 06:29, 29 Jul 2003 (UTC)

--- David, I'm a bit confused, I found a page you started called collective trade marks and another called collective marks. Do we really need this as two pages, the content seems duplicative, perhaps it was just a mistake. Also it might be a good idea to do a redirect from one to the other, and from the singular form, and for the US version of the term collective trademarks and collective servicemarks, no? Also, congratulations on your daughter's birth. Alex756 03:42, 17 Aug 2003 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Brilliant pictures

Hi David, interresting image you posted on Wikipedia:Brilliant pictures. Just a question: Could you add more information on the copyright status on this page? Was it taken by you? Then it should be changed to the first section in Wikipedia:Brilliant pictures. And, if you have the time, could you also update Wikipedia:Brilliant pictures visible. Thanks a lot, Fantasy 08:32, 18 Aug 2003 (UTC) PS: Do you have also the larger version?

You damn dirty JLApe! ;-)

Hey Dave! Nice additions to the Justice League page -- Kaijan 09:20, 22 Aug 2003 (UTC)

List of jurists

David, nice start on list of jurists. There has been a discussion on several of the Wikipedia mailing lists about changing the edit page text. Mav (a developer) made a proposal and I've also put up a page with a proposal that he wants to implement here. I don't know how you feel about it, but perhaps you can take a look at it and make some suggestions on the talk page with all the necessary disclaimers (this is not legal advice, etc. etc.), or just email me, I've asked them to wait a few days before implementing any proposals. Alex756 08:59, 7 Sep 2003 (UTC)

(cross posted on User talk:Alex756/Annotated edit page announcement)

David thanks for your comment regarding the disclaimer. Do you really think it is necesary to put to your knowledge, information and belief that is standard boilerplate language here in the States, but I know keeping the text short and to the point is wanted, I've already gotten several complaints about legalese, formal language, etc. I put in to your knowledge on my modified version (1.1). I don't know if they can put anything above the edit box. At this point it is just pasting a text into the php script, it won't need any format codes. Actually I was thinking of a new checkbox for the affirmation to let it stand out, like on the image upload page (I think one of our predecessors got them to do that probably user:isis who has vapourized! Any more input you can give will be greatly appreciated. Alex756 08:53, 8 Sep 2003 (UTC)

(cross posted on User talk:Alex756/Annotated edit page announcement)

David, the upload file page has a checkbox. I think getting someone to do that extra step shows that they acknowledge it, makes it more like a click through license (which would be the best, but that is definitely too legalistic for Wikipedia). Maybe the problem with that will be the buffering, because if you don't check it then you get a warning (you can't actually upload without checking that box). It makes it a little less automatic. Alex756 09:23, 8 Sep 2003 (UTC)

David, I notice you put list of jurists into the main body of the index for list of legal topics; I guess you didn't notice that I've separated out the lists and put them all at the end. It was making the L section bloated, and since they are lists, better to refer to them as such separately. I had already added list of jurists when I first noticed you had started it. Alex756 15:44, 9 Sep 2003 (EDT)

Rather than deleting your entry I changed it as follows: [[#other law lists|lists, law related (see below)]] for intra-page linking (only discovered one could do that with the TOC put on the top of the list by Nanobug). You can also link to subsections across pages. I thought I would mention that to you as it seems a real lawyerly kind of citation, they click the link and not only does it take them to a different page, but also just the section you want them to read!

Also, I did put a mention of it at the top of the list (it is the last paragraph up there) I guess you didn't notice it. (Wikipedia has been very slow the last two days here, I don't know if you've experienced the same coming from HK so it has been hard to do many edits). Also, I will definitely be adding a few Canadians to the jurist list, thanks for reminding me, I've been in the states too long!.... Alex756 03:16, 10 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Hello David :) What a (relatively) interesting area of law to practice - intellectual property. I've just finished the Contract and Legal Process units at UWA, and it wasn't very thrilling, I tell you. I have to choose in the next few weeks what major to do in my Commerce degree, and I don't know what would best complement my law degree. Do you have any suggestions? I really would appreciate whatever advice you could give me. -- Mark Ryan 14:44, 23 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Greetings from across the Ditch (and across the Nullarbor too)!

I added a link to your publisher. (I work in Wellington for Brookers, a cousin organisation controlled by Law Book Co in Sydney.)

Can I interest you in my volunteer work for www.zeal.com, eg http://zeal.com/category/preview.jhtml?cid=10148965 ?

Hi, David. I noticed in the Vote article an upcoming (as of the writing) gubenatorial election in Argentina. Since the election is past, do you perchance know how it went? I'd make the update myself except I wouldn't know were to start looking for information. Also, you might be interested in the related page electronic voting. (I had been thinking about working with the Vote article a little to include more of an index to the topics about voting (voting systems, voting machines, electronic voting, and so on)). Cheers! -- Ke4roh 09:49, 28 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Picture request

David, I love your picture at Image:Vacation Photo 022503.jpg, but it's a bit small for my liking. Do you, by any chance, have a higher resolution version? →Raul654 20:06, May 13, 2004 (UTC)

More examples of parallel importation?

Hi David,

I liked your overview of parallel importation and grey markets. I am researching examples of this in technology and would be interested if you know of other examples than the ones you list in your entry. For example, I have heard Ferraris and DVDs are both products with litigious backgrounds around importation. Please email any ideas to brose@analysisgroup.com

Thanks!

Article Licensing

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
Multi-Licensing Guide
Free the Rambot Articles Project

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1

I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:

Option 2

I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=User_talk:Ram-Man&action=edit&section=new)| talk)
