Image:Blue-green eye closeup.jpg
The stock exchange is a provider of free images. At the bottom of the image it says: There are no usage restrictions for this photo., i.e. it is public domain. Occasionally, there will be a different message saying for e.g. that the user must be contacted before using this image for commercial work. Does this answer your question? Happy editing -- Chris 73 Talk 23:42, Nov 7, 2004 (UTC)
- Sorry to bust into your conversation, but as Chris has explained to me, we currently can use images on the commons only through a search preference: if the software doesn't find an image on the local wiki (en: in this case), it looks on the commons. If you now delete that image on en:, a future uploader on en: who just happens to use the name of this image will get no indication whatsoever that he is overriding an existing image. I don't like that at all, it opens the door to endless confusions (and to a new kind of vandalism, too). Lupo 23:27, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Culture of Greece
Culture of Greece is this week's Collaboration of the week. Please come and help it become a featured-standard article.
Template:Commons
Hi. I added the <br style="clear:both" /> again to the Template:Commons. Without that the template was occassionally indented by other pictures. I just think it looks nicer (e.g. on Joystick). Let me know if you have a specific reasons for its removal. Thanks -- Chris 73 Talk 00:38, Nov 9, 2004 (UTC)
Checking for dbl redirects
Hi, sorry! See my answer at my talk page (keeping the thread in one place). --Wernher 01:48, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Jumbuck interwiki corrections to zh:
Hi, I noticed that User:Jumbuck made several changes to links pointing to the Chinese WP. In doing so, it replaced the entity "·" with "·". This causes the links to the Chinese WP to break. For an example, see my recent corrections to Henri Cartier-Bresson. I'm not sure if this is a problem with the WP software; regardless, please leave "·" unchanged for now. --MarkSweep 16:53, 25 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Jumbuck interwiki minnan:
User:Jumbuck recently added a minnan: interwiki link to Journey to the West, which already had the same link as a zh-min-nan: link. I don't know which is correct, but it's something to watch out for (particularly as it resulted in a small bug in the interwiki link display). --Paul A 02:00, 26 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Please, I need more of your help
I have more words and short sentences to translate. I don’t want to be constantly bothering you with this, but I’m making corrections and working on several articles on the Spanish version of this encyclopedia and another in Spanish related to Icelandic bands and artists and thus I came across with this terms that are so difficult to figure out. So instead of putting the messages here, I have a sub page at User:Luis_María_Benítez/Notes where you can see all the words and expressions. Thanks for your continuing assistance.

thanks for the gmail!
Says it all really. You are a kind and generous person, a wikihero. Seasons greetings. --Mrfixter 23:12, 2 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Categorizing articles that define categories
I reverted your removal of Category:Intellectual property from Copyright. True, Category:Copyright law is in that category already, but an article that defines a category properly belongs to all the parents that its eponymous category belongs to. Copyright is one of a series of IP topics, as well as the defining article of its own series of copyright-specific topics. This properly classifies it and allows for navigation to the other articles of which it stands on equal footing as an IP-related topic. This is different from the general rule that an article should not be placed in all parents of the subcategory that it merely belongs to. As copyright misuse, for example, only relates to IP as a subtopic of copyright, it would not be properly placed in Category:Intellectual property in addition to Category:Copyright law. Let me know if you have any further questions on this. Postdlf 21:19, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)
