User talk:Gh

Hi Gh, welcome to Wikipedia. I like the article you've written at Alfréd Hajós, it's nice to see a stub turn into a good article. -- Ams80 15:47 May 12, 2003 (UTC)

Hi. It's good to see another wikipedian with an interest in contributing to the early jazz articles. Those are some nice photos you've added. Can you please give sources on where they're from? Thanks. Cheers, -- Infrogmation 15:41, 18 Mar 2004 (UTC)

It looks to me like you've been yoinking the photos from http://www.redhotjazz.com/ . Do you have permission from Scott Alexander, the site's webmaster, or are the images free for the taking? If we can use them, that would be great. Please clarify the status of the photos, or wikipedia may need to remove them. -- Infrogmation 17:27, 18 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Hi. There are no copyright information of the pictures in Scott Alexander's site, so I assume they are public domain. There are a little copyright info in http://www.redhotjazz.com/info.html, but it mainly covers the .ram files. For further info you must reach Scott Alexander.

Checking into the status of photos you upload to wikipedia is YOUR responsibility, and should be done before adding them to articles. See Wikipedia:Copyrights for more info and discussion. Sorry to be hardnosed about such matters with you (there are lots of fine photos I'd like to grab copies of for here myself) but unauthorized use of copyrighted material can open wikipedia up to problems such as potential legal action. Please take such matters seriously. Cheers, -- Infrogmation 18:21, 23 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Michael Johnson (athlete)

Hi Gh, good work on expanding the above article, but I'm interested to know why you've removed the minutes/seconds references in his world record times. I don't want to just revert, as I've done this once before -- I thought I'd check with you first to see if you had a good reason for doing this. --Lancevortex 13:24, 14 Jul 2004 (UTC)

I'll have a look at some other athletics articles and add the mins/secs if that seems to be the way to do it. --Lancevortex 17:47, 14 Jul 2004 (UTC)

It seems that Wikipedia practice (at least within the Athletics article) is to put "s" where the time is less than 1 minute, but not put any units when the record is more than 1 minute, so that's what I've done on the Michael Johnson page. --Lancevortex 10:41, 15 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Image:Clark.jpg

I noticed you uploaded a picture of Wesley Clark, and that you tagged it as being in the public domain. I was hoping you could supply a source. Don't mean to be overly suspicious, but it could really help clear things up. Thanks. [[User:Meelar|Meelar (talk)]] 19:15, Sep 30, 2004 (UTC)

Sorry about the mistake. Yours, [[User:Meelar|Meelar (talk)]] 21:23, Sep 30, 2004 (UTC)

Lewis Stone pic

Thanks for uploading Image:Lewis Stone.jpg. I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag. Could you add one to let us know its copyright status? (You can use {{gfdl}} if you release it under the GFDL, or {{fairuse}} if you claim fair use, etc.) Thanks so much, – Quadell ^{(talk) (help)}[[]] 03:18, Oct 11, 2004 (UTC)

Image copyright

Hi! Thanks for uploading Image:Otto Stern.jpg. I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag. Could you add one to let us know its copyright status? (You can use {{gfdl}} if you release it under the GFDL, or {{fairuse}} if you claim fair use, etc.) If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know where you got the images and I'll tag them for you. Thanks so much, Edwinstearns 20:53, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)

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 1000 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:

{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

OR

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:

{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

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)

Image:Hajos.jpg

Thank you for uploading Image:Hajos.jpg. Please leave a note on that page about where you got the image or whether you made it yourself because of copyright law. If you have any questions, just leave a message on my talk page. --Ellmist 13:24, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Olympic athletes

Thanks for the help in expanding those stubs. Where are you getting the information (so I can put in a little more than just what I get off the official reports)? Thanks. -- Jonel | Speak 17:04, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

My Google searches tend not to garner much useful information for people that far back. I tend to get either WP mirrors or completely unrelated people on genealogy sites. Is there a specific site that you use for the birth/death dates?

As a side note, sorry about the Hanns Braun mess. Olympic.org lists his name as "Hans" and I didn't perform anywhere near a thorough enough check before making the changes. Think I have everything back to Hanns now.

What's your source for Wiesner being part of the medley relay team? The 1908 official report lists Racz and while I'm certainly prepared to believe that could be in error, I would like to have a source for any contradicting information. Thanks! -- Jonel | Speak 15:33, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Excellent. Thanks for all the links (Herman's site is quite impressive!). -- Jonel | Speak 16:07, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
