Potterhill

Thanks for sorting out my Potterhill station mess. It was my first wiki edit as you may have guessed.

No problem, welcome to Misplaced Pages. It was a good first edit in that pictures of Scottish railway stations (both closed and open) are sorely needed so its always a pleasure to see one. Need to point out though that the scan of Potterhill from "Ayrshire & Renfrewshire's Lost Railways" is against Wiki copyright rules and will probably be removed eventually.

Nevertheless, happy editing. :) --Dreamer84 17:58, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:Potterhillwithtrack.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Potterhillwithtrack.jpg. Misplaced Pages gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Misplaced Pages, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

Replaceable fair use Image:Meikleriggstoglenfielddepotgoogle.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Meikleriggstoglenfielddepotgoogle.jpg. I noticed the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Misplaced Pages articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. VegitaU 21:50, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Google Maps

I sure would like to know where I can find all the Google Maps pictures you mentioned on Misplaced Pages. -- VegitaU 21:16, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

You might want to start with the google maps page on Misplaced Pages :-)) There are others too. What on (google) earth makes you believe it is a breach of copyright ?

http://en.wikipedia.org/Google_Maps

Try signing your posts to begin with. Second of all, of course the article on Google Maps is going to have Google Maps images on there. Google Maps images are kind of required to illustrate…Google Maps. I'm talking about these copyrighted images used for other purposes. There is no reason why you would need a satellite shot of a town or whatever that cannot be either freely found through TerraServer-USA or a ground photo or a free map shot. That's why these images have been tagged and deleted. Stop uploading copyrighted images without knowing the non-free content criteria. Happy editing! -- VegitaU 16:45, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

If the google maps Misplaced Pages page isn't breaking copyright, this isn't either. The page didn't have to use a google map. If you were paying attention you would know that image is from the UK (a country in Europe) so TerraServer-USA is useless. It is absolutely required that it is a satellite or similar image because it's illustrating surface features that can only be seen from the air and I don't have a plane or acess to aerial images of the area.

--Eric144 19:03, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Wow. I guess when you make a point, you ignore all contradictory aspects. I took a look at the article and the picture. There's absolutely nothing on the picture that ties to an article about rail lines. The image in the infobox above it makes the point clear, but your image adds absolutely nothing. Actually, it looks like it went on an article about a town. You really have no ground to stand on here. You already have a history of uploading images in violation of copyright rules. This is just another one that needs to be deleted. Owning image satellites has nothing to do with this argument. You can find a historical photo of the rail line or go to the site and snap a photo yourself. A lack of effort or laziness or inability on your part doesn't warrant the use of copyright images to replace a free alternative. Google Maps images are used on the Google Maps article because it's used to illustrate Google Maps…to show the reader what Google Maps is. There's no free equivalent to Google Maps to show what Google Maps is. Obviously, the writers have to include a Google Maps screenshot. For historical images, obviously you can't go back in time to recreate them freely. Writers have to use the copyrighted images in a proper manner. But you can't use a copyrighted image to show where a railroad used to travel. Trust me, that dog won't hunt.

If you think I am going to get drawn into a useless argument wih some colonial military savage you are very much mistaken. Now get lost.

--Eric144 23:34, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Heh. I guess I struck a nerve with my comment, huh? You know, not to brag, but sometimes…heh, sometimes I just amaze myself. -- VegitaU 00:25, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

I'm sure you do.

The next time you create an inappropriate page, such as ], you will be blocked from editing Misplaced Pages. Don't upload replaceable copyrighted or unsourced images. Happy editing! VegitaU 02:11, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Hey Yank moron dude, I took the picture myself. Looks like I'm the one with the brain here. You still think you're smart being turned over with a simple trick like that ? Did I remember to call you a moron ? Did you bother to check what the picture was ? Was the picture ever part of any wikipedia page ? No, it was nosy, twisted little bureaucratic moron entrapment.

]

Even the original picture was no less appropriate than your pathetic moronic insults. Don't forget that you are a moron and I have the transcript of your moronic nonsense here.

Get lost moran !!
