Just a heads-up about theRfc you started atGiovanni Gentile. Normally, there needs to be discussion at an article's Talk page before initiating an Rfc, and just wanted you to know that I listed it atWP:AN/RFC to get some feedback about that point. Cheers,Mathglot (talk)05:52, 21 February 2018 (UTC)

The articleJack Kirby you nominated as agood article has been placed on hold. The article is close to meeting thegood article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail.

@Magnacartalibertatum: Your talk page is a public space. If you don't want warnings posted on there, don'tvandalize articles. It's really that simple.Etzedek24^{(Would it kill ya to leave an edit summary?)}16:12, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

PJI is a legal organization so it naturally contains summaries of court cases. You removed this well sourced content and replaced it with trivia from a biased source. That is not how Wikipedia works. Not in the slightest. –Lionel^(talk)09:21, 26 April 2018 (UTC)

@Lionelt: The page's sourcing was a joke. Not only did many of the sources not match up with the prose they were cited in context of (for example, only including PJI on a list with no other context), but many of the sources, especially with the indiscriminate listing of cases (which contained non-NPOV phrasing) only mentioned the PJI in a passing context as well. To efface the PJI's history of virulent anti-LGBT campaigning, to which it devotes much time and energy, especially when the bulk of the "biased sources" I cited came from newspapers and the PJI's website itself, is unacceptable. Perhaps there is some middle ground to be found, but the article in its previous state falls far short of Wikipedia standards concerning hate groups.Etzedek24^{(Would it kill ya to leave an edit summary?)}16:13, 26 April 2018 (UTC)

• "sources not match up with the prose they were cited": I checked half of the article and the sources state that PJI represented a litigant in the particular legal matter. Sourcing is verified perWP:VERIFY.
• "indiscriminate listing of cases...only mentioned the PJI in a passing context": in a legal article when an attorney represents a litigant the entire case, as well as its precedents if any, becomes relevant for the article of the attorney. Since PJI represented the litigant, that makes the case relevant to this article, thus not indiscriminate. For an example of how representing a litigant makes the case relevant seeSouthern_Poverty_Law_Center#Notable_cases.
• "To efface the PJI's history of virulent anti-LGBT campaigning": PJI was founded 20 years ago and most of their casework is based on First Amendment and religious freedom issue such as prayer in schools, In God We Trust, proselytizing, Christian Bible clubs at public schools, etc. You cited UNDUE. Ironically, for the article to be DUE, this work with regards to the First Amendment and religious freedom must be covered in the article. In other words, your blanking of the article created inbalance. Your statement "devotes much time and energy" is let's just say an exaggeration.
• " falls far short of Wikipedia standards concerning hate groups": Wikipedia has no "standards" concerning hate groups. In any event PJI is a well establishedChristian legal advocacy group. The closest example is ironically SPLC. The listing of cases in PJI is analogous to thisSouthern_Poverty_Law_Center#Notable_cases.
• Your comments and behavior betray your bias and POV. Such as removing the LA Times and replacing it with Youtube.

Hi Etzedek24. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers" user group (probationary 3 months), allowing you to review new pages and mark them aspatrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or nominate them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at theNew Pages Feed. New page reviewing is vital to maintaining the integrity of the encylopedia. If you have not already done so, youmust read the new tutorial atNew Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand thedeletion policy. If you need any help or want to discuss the process, you are welcome to use thenew page reviewer talk page. In addition, please remember:

• Be nice to new editors. They areusually not aware that they are doing anything wrong.
• You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted. Please be formal and polite in your approach to them – even if they are not.
• If you are not sure what to do with a page, don't review it – just leave it for another reviewer.
• Accuracy is more important than speed. Take your time to patrol each page. Use the message feature to communicate with article creators and offer advice as much as possible.

The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In cases of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, the right may be revoked by an administrator.Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk)01:47, 6 July 2018 (UTC)

Hi Etzedek24,

I see you were turned down by Kudpung for the NPR user right, I'd suggest heading over toWP:Articles for deletion and over toWP:Requested moves and participating in some discussions to gain experience and learn policies for a while before applying again. —Insertcleverphrasehere^{(or here)}22:06, 5 July 2018 (UTC)

@Insertcleverphrasehere: I'm not sure if this will impact your decision, but I'd like to mention that Kudpung reversed their decision and granted me NPP rights after conversing. I feel that I have a pretty good grasp of policies thus far. Thanks,Etzedek24^{(Would it kill ya to leave an edit summary?)}01:50, 6 July 2018 (UTC)

All good, I'd still recommend spending a bit of time at both places though. Good luck and thanks for joining the project. —Insertcleverphrasehere^{(or here)}01:56, 6 July 2018 (UTC)

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added toCategory:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found atWP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact thebot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them atWikipedia talk:Non-free content.RonBot (talk)17:12, 10 July 2018 (UTC)

Hey there! I noticed you put a citation-improvement banner on the pageMedusa (DC Comics) which I edit regularly... is there a reason for that?

Hi there. we are trying our best to write this in a way that is not promotional, we simply want a page. Can you please explain exactly what is wrong with the page? or what should we do to get this approved? - Pooktwo— Precedingunsigned comment added byPooktwo (talk •contribs)18:03, 16 July 2018 (UTC)

You want to talk toBbb23 as they were the admin who deleted the page. However, I will say that you cannot "simply have a page," your organization or product must meet notability guidelines as laid outhere,here, andhere. If the page does not meet those guidelines, as it's done twice, (for copyright, unambiguous promotion, and no indication of significance), then the page will be deleted again. Cheers,Etzedek24^{(I'll talk at ya) (Check my track record)}18:16, 16 July 2018 (UTC)

Dear Edzedek24 — I am aware of the added responsibility associated with COI editing, and it is true that 10 out of my 15 inline references are self-published - however, the rest are reliable third-party references, and they do meet WP:RS. (I listed some of them when I responded to the last declination, butBradv did not answer my response, and has since then deleted it.) The following supporting remarks are meant to go with the three "best known for" items in my introduction:

• In reference to the “Poisson surprise” test: Cotterill and Eglen (Cambridge University), in a recent paper inJournal of Neurophysiology (my ref. 13) write, in part:

“ . . . the Poisson surprise method [of Legéndy and Salcman, 1985] is one of the most widely used burst detection methods since its development over thirty years ago (398 citations as of June 2018) and is still commonly used for analysing bursting activity . . .”

• In reference to the brain capacity estimation:Donald Hebb, a well-known contributor to psychology and neuroscience (with two Wikipedia articles devoted to him), cites the Legéndy (1967) brain capacity estimate in a 1976 paper (my ref. 6), right up-front in the Introduction.
• In regard to helicons: my contributions are incorporated in the Wikipedia article onhelicons.

OAKS222 (talk)17:04, 15 July 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for reaching out to me. However, I still stand by my declination. I reviewed the page a second time, and agree withBradv. This article is at the intersection of several highly scrutinized areas, includingWP:COI andWP:BLP. The sources on the page itself, as before, do not credibly indicate notability due to the overwhelming level of non-independence of the sources. Hence the much higher level of scrutiny. The article needs more verifiable third-party references. Sorry, butnot now.Etzedek24^{(I'll talk at ya) (Check my track record)}21:58, 15 July 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for your prompt answer, and also for reviewing the page a second time. However - I still don’t understand: Why you say that (for instance) my Cotterill and Eglen (2018) reference is a non-independent source? I never even heard of these two guys until I saw their article - and the journal (Journal of Neurophysiology) is highly respectable, as is the affiliation of the authors (University of Cambridge). I am confident that if you examine the article you will agree that it meets the WP:RS criteria.OAKS222 (talk)19:33, 16 July 2018 (UTC)

I am going to be going on a research trip shortly so I will likely not respond as quickly, so I will say this. The larger issue, and the reason why the page has not been approved has little to do with whether or not one source is or is not reliable. The problem is the self-published nature of the majority of the sources. FromWP:YOURSELF: "Self-published sources and other published sources of dubious reliability may be used as sources in articles about themselves ... so long as the material is neither unduly self-serving nor an exceptional claim[,] does not involve claims about third parties[,] does not involve claims about events not directly related to the source[,] there is no reasonable doubt as to its authenticity[, and]the article is not based primarily on such sources." 10 out of 15 (at last count, I may be mistaken) qualifies, in my opinion as the primary basis of the article. Another editor may feel differently, but after reviewing the article again, and brushing up on the autobiography/COI policy, I'm still a firm no on the article at this point.Etzedek24^{(I'll talk at ya) (Check my track record)}22:17, 16 July 2018 (UTC)

Thank you again - I guess my main problem is not that the Legéndy citations are automatically unreliable but that there are too many of them. Well - that is an easy one to remedy: I can remove them altogether from the "is best known for" section (and replace them with third-party references), and remove about half of them, in a similar way, from the rest of the text - would that make the page more acceptable?OAKS222 (talk)00:42, 17 July 2018 (UTC)

Is this eligible for deletion?User:Strawberrian/sandboxStrawberrian (talk)15:56, 9 July 2018 (UTC)

HiStrawberrian, you have posted your sandbox link. That cannot be deleted. However, yourSusumu Matsuura page did not credibly indicate the subject's notability and read more like a resume than an encyclopedic entry, thus, it was deleted. --Etzedek24^{(I'll talk at ya) (Check my track record)}16:31, 9 July 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for resorting the redirect. I saw your warning on their page and a heads up that they are two reverts away fromWP:3RR. Regardless hopefully they take your advice. Best,Barkeep49 (talk)00:04, 26 July 2018 (UTC)

@Barkeep49: Are they only two away? That was the second time by WikiClock today that they had removed the redirect, but I could be wrong. I have a sneaking suspicion that they're also the IP that removed the redirect earlier so I suppose we'll see what happens.Etzedek24^{(I'll talk at ya) (Check my track record)}00:06, 26 July 2018 (UTC)

It wouldn't surprise me but since we can't know that, we can say for sure that they reverted me once and you once. So the next one will be three and the one after a violation of the WP:3RR bright line. Of course my hope as it seems to be yours is that they take heed and improve their editing.

This graph was using thelegacy Graph extension, which is no longer supported. It needs to be converted to thenew Chart extension. Chart of the New Pages Patrol backlog for the past 6 months. (Purge)

Hello Etzedek24, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!

June backlog drive

Overall the June backlog drive was a success, reducing the last 3,000 or so to below 500. However, as expected, 90% of the patrolling was done by less than 10% of reviewers.
Since the drive closed, the backlog has begun to rise sharply again and is back up to nearly1,400 already. Please help reduce this total and keep it from raising further by reviewing some articles each day.

New technology, new rules

• New features are shortly going to be added to theSpecial:NewPagesFeed which include a list of drafts for review, OTRS flags for COPYVIO, and more granular filter preferences. More details can be found atthis page.
• Probationary permissions: Now that PERM has been configured to allow expiry dates to all minor user rights, new NPR flag holders may sometimes be limited in the first instance to 6 months during which their work will be assessed for both quality and quantity of their reviews. This will allow admins to accord the right in borderline cases rather than make a flat out rejection.
• Current reviewers who have had the flag for longer than 6 months but have not used the permissions since they were granted will have the flag removed, but may still request to have it granted again in the future, subject to the same probationary period, if they wish to become an active reviewer.

Editathons

• Editathons will continue through August. Please be gentle with new pages that obviously come from good faith participants, especially articles from developing economies and ones about female subjects. Consider using the 'move to draft' tool rather than bluntly tagging articles that may have potential but which cannot yet reside in mainspace.

The Signpost

• The next issue ofthe monthly magazine will be out soon. The newspaper is an excellent way to stay up to date with news and new developments between our newsletters. If you have special messages to be published, or if you would like to submit an article (one about NPR perhaps?), don't hesitate to contact the editorial team here.

A discussion is taking place as to whether the articleSchofield/Rothschild shootings is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according toWikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should bedeleted.

The article will be discussed atWikipedia:Articles for deletion/Schofield/Rothschild shootings until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article.John from Idegon (talk)05:07, 24 July 2018 (UTC)

Hello, Etzedek24. It has been over six months since you last edited theArticles for Creation submission orDraft page you started, "List of 100 oldest colleges and universities in the United States".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopediamainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simplyedit the submission and remove the{{db-afc}},{{db-draft}}, or{{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions atthis link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing.Hhkohh (talk)14:54, 6 August 2018 (UTC)

Please stop. Wikipedia isnot censored. Any further changes which have the effect of censoring an article, such as you did toPacific Justice Institute, will be regarded asvandalism. If you continue in this manner, you may beblocked from editing Wikipedia. Content is not removed on the sole grounds of perceived offensiveness. Removing high-quality, verified sources such as Los Angeles Times, San Francisco Chronicle, The Washington Post is disruptive.–Lionel^(talk)10:40, 28 April 2018 (UTC)

Please readWP:NC. It isn't necessary to (further) disambiguate pages likeWikirank orInhuman (comics) for "more specific link" when no other page with the same title exists. For comics, the specific naming conventions can be found here:Wikipedia:Naming conventions (comics). And if you do move a page because disambiguation is needed (i.e. there are other articles with the same name), as you did when movingThe American Way toThe American Way (comics), then the original title that wasn't specific enough should be turned into adisambiguation page or redirected to a similar disambiguation page. If the original title still redirects to the new one, then the disambiguation was for nothing in the first place.

Also, regardingthis edit, please readMOS:DAB, particularlyMOS:DABENTRY andMOS:DABPIPING. There should only be one blue link per entry etc.Bennv3771 (talk)04:22, 15 August 2018 (UTC)

Do you think that moving these articles that I have made to drafts actually help them get better? Moving them to drafts does nothing but make less people aware of them and less accessible. Unless you intend to fix them all by yourself.★Trekker (talk)00:28, 16 July 2018 (UTC)

@*Treker: Trek, I appreciate the good work and dedication you have to your work on here, but you have a pattern of leaving incomplete articles up that isn't acceptable. Since I think you're referring tothis article, it was off mainspace for about a day, maybe not even that, and it's much improved for it. It's nothing personal, I think moving these articles that have incomplete or empty sections to drafts helps ensure a better end product.Etzedek24^{(I'll talk at ya) (Check my track record)}00:33, 16 July 2018 (UTC)

Since when do you need to make a perfect article each time? You can make stubs if you feel like it as long as the subject isnotable. This is how I like to work, I work in periods of spurts, it's part of my ADHD, if you don't like it you can add to thearticle, how does it conceivably ever help to remove a subject from the mainspace? I don't buy that the way you like to do thing helpp in the mildest, in the case of theJessica Jones article you even removed a bunch of stuff I had on each individual issue for no good reason. It's the same thing as the Punsiehr article, how does it ever help to remove a bunch of sources. Makes. No. Sense. You say it isn't personal but you still clearly go around and follow my articles and say they're bad and remove them from mainspace for weird and poor reasons that as far as I know are just based on your own feelings on them. Again, are you going to fix every single one of them and make sure to put them back? And by what personal standard do you judge them to be "complete" Would it be better if I just ignored to put in the sections at all? Do you remove all stubs you see?★Trekker (talk)00:44, 16 July 2018 (UTC)

I respect where you come from, but you can't proffer your disability as an excuse for poor conduct. It's one thing to leave stubs up--that's not what the issue is here. I'm talking about articles that are legitimately incomplete--like with headings with no text underneath. If that's how you prefer to work, fine, I can't stop you. But if you're going to put articles together and leave them unfinished, you should really do that in draftspace. As a side note, I'm not a fan of the way you talk about articles thatyou have contributed greatly to. You're a fairly experienced editor, so I feel that I shouldn't have to say that you don't own your articles. I also resent the accusation that this is personal--that's ludicrous. I improve articles as I find them. In this case, I was doing article assessments forWP:COMICS and came across the articles. None of this is malicious. If I put an article in draftspace, it shoots up the priority list for improving.Etzedek24^{(I'll talk at ya) (Check my track record)}00:57, 16 July 2018 (UTC)

Furthermore, with the JJ article, you hadn't edited it since October of last year, and it was in dire need of updating in any case. If you want to put the table of issue reception in, again I can't stop you. I just think that long tables creep into indiscriminate list territory.Etzedek24^{(I'll talk at ya) (Check my track record)}01:03, 16 July 2018 (UTC)

I'm not using my ADHD as an excuse, it's just an explanation. And it's not much of a disability by the way, my mind just works differently and I wouldn't be able to do a lot of stuff I enjoy if I didn't have that.

And I don't have own issues, I have an issue with people straight up just removing stuff from the site and putting them in limbo for no good reason completly based on their own feelings. Can you cite some guidelines that says that it's wrong to work on articles the way I like to? If not the I'd advice you to quit doing that because it just makes the encyclopedia lesser and makes fewer people aware of the content. And again, how is putting the articles into draft space better than just working on them in mainspace? You still havn't explained that to me in any good way. How do more people get the chance to work on an article that's tucked away in the sites hidden depts that almost no one ever visits?

I also never accused you of being malicious (I think most of the time you've been nice to me, if a bit dismissive of my ways) just that you clearly don't respect the way I like to do things based on your own POV and that you self-admited that you think that I "have a pattern" that you've kept track off. It's clear that you have a bias against how I edit and I'd like to see some motivation for that beyond the fact that you think it looks ugly and incomplete, all articles are works in progress and beyond the fact that there are some empty headings sometimes where is the big harm? Where is the guideline that says that it's ok move a bunch of obviously notable subjects away from the mainspace and just leave them there (again, unless you intend to fix all of them yourself you're essentially leaving them in thehopes that someone will one day take an interest in them). All it does it make me potentially forget about them because I keep track of articles by checking navboxes and categories and searching for them in the searchbar, something which can't be done with drafts, I'm sure tons of other people find articles that way too, as a matter of fact I think most people do, so again how does putting them into limbo like that make people more likely to find them and improve them? Tons of drafts stay drafts for years and years.

I just don't see the logic in how the articles are different from stubs. That makes less than zero sense to me, why don't you just remove the heading if they bother you and you think a full stub would be better? I'm sorry, I don't mean to come off as obtuse but I just don't grasp why it would be better to draftify them since I rarely see any of the drafts that I've come across get worked on.

As far as the JJ article goes, there is no timelimit on Wikipedia, and the stuff that you added could have just been added while it was an article so why not just do that? And the fact that you keep saying "keep doing that if you want to, I can't stop you" just makes a good case for the fact that you don't really think very highly of any of the work that I do, even if you claim you "appreciate it". In the end this comes of (to me at least) as an example of one editor thinking they know the only right way and trying to force that without anyone asking them to. You're pretty much the only person I've come across that's taken such an issue to the content I've added and felt they needed to be hidden away until you or someone likeminded could fix it in the style that you like. Much like you said to me, I'm not going to try to hinder you form turning more articles into drafts but I don't like it and I don't see the benefits from it. Again, sorry if my work looks that bad to you and I hope my future work won't be as bothersome, but I can't change how I function and I'm not about to give up the joy I get from editing Wikipedia my way, and I really don't see the harm in it so unless more people feel I'm being disruptive or am having a negative impact I think I'll go on to do things the way I work. I don't agree that what I'm going is poor conduct.★Trekker (talk)01:47, 16 July 2018 (UTC)

I think that I can succinctly say the following: Personally (from new page reviewing), if an article is incomplete (by which I mean large swathes of blank content, not a stub), I move it to draft first. That's a good way of getting half-finished stuff outside of the mainspace as well as seeing if someone really cares about the article that they will work on it and improve it. It's not saying "this is bad and has to go to AfC," it's just an easy way to keep track of stuff that needs to be touched up. I also move stuff to draft because I may not have the energy or time at the present moment to improve it, but I will when I do have the time as I did at JJ. I also am sure to tag stuff I move with the comics WP draft class so that I can keep track of it that way as well. I wouldn't say that I "keep track" of your edits, but like I said you do have a habit of leaving poorly-formatted tables and blank sections in articles. That's different than a stub that is just lacking information in general.Etzedek24^{(I'll talk at ya) (Check my track record)}02:05, 16 July 2018 (UTC)

None of my tables are ever poorly formated, at the worst they're not all filled out. And again, I don't feel like you've done a good job at adressing my points very well. You've yet to explain to me how putting somehting in a draft really helps it at all, you keep saying it does but none of your claims combat my concerns.★Trekker (talk)02:09, 16 July 2018 (UTC)

I've said it a bunch of times: Moving incomplete articles to draft is common procedure. It gets incomplete articles out of mainspace, provides an easy way of tracking articles to improve, and shows which articles have editors that care about them and want to improve them. As per the table comment, seethe table I removed from the JJ article. The columns are far too wide for the amount of text that is put in them and it disrupts the structure of the article. That's what I mean by poorly formatted. Not filled out is different--that's easier to manage.Etzedek24^{(I'll talk at ya) (Check my track record)}02:14, 16 July 2018 (UTC)

You say that but back it up with nothing.★Trekker (talk)11:00, 17 July 2018 (UTC)

Also, I hope you take the time to upload the images again that you're going to get deleted since they can't stay in the draft. Since I live in Europe and risk having my rights to upload copyrighted images soon I might not be able to do it myself.★Trekker (talk)11:02, 17 July 2018 (UTC)

Like this. Also, have you made sure to remove all the redlinks from navboxes and such since redlinks aren't meant to be on those?★Trekker (talk)19:21, 23 July 2018 (UTC)

@Etzedek24:@Treker: I've movedLove Is Love (comics) back to the mainspace. I strongly disagree that articles should be moved to draftspace solely because they are incomplete, especially one year after they were created. We have a ton of stubs that are incomplete in the mainspace and that is fine. The article as it is is not violating any of Wikipedia's policies. Yes, new articles are sometimes moved back to draftspace during by new page reviewers if they are sorely lacking, but this article is not sorely lacking, nor is it a new page.Bennv3771 (talk)03:57, 15 August 2018 (UTC)

The articleMidnighter (2015 comic book) you nominated as agood article has been placed on hold. The article is close to meeting thegood article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. SeeTalk:Midnighter (2015 comic book) for things which need to be addressed.Message delivered byLegobot, on behalf ofFearstreetsaga --Fearstreetsaga (talk)02:03, 17 August 2018 (UTC)

However, I have concerns about some of your claims of Public Domain status, e.g.File:LafargueParishHouse.png,File:WerthamLafargueConference.png, andFile:LafarguePlayroom.png with claims of "MCNY does not hold copyright on digital images. No other assertion of copyright." or "No assertion of copyright in publication." Failure to assert copyright by a museum or repository does not make an image "free": copyright is general held by the original creator and in the U.S. it is the date and copyright notice in theoriginal publication that determines when an image falls into public domain. Subsequent republication or posting of the image does not change initial copyright unless copyright is explicitly renewed or the rights are transferred or explicitly released into the public domain or under a free license. SeeCopyright rules in the United States and theHirtle Chart on Wikimedia Commons for more information. TheCopyright Village Pump is a good place to ask any questions about particular images or sources. Cheers,--Animalparty! (talk)02:36, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

@Animalparty: I appreciate your vigilance with regard to these images, and I will be updating the ones from the MCNY. Per their website,

"Researchers may use, free of charge, copies of low-resolution images from the Collections Portal for non-commercial use, such asillustrating a school paper or website, or for study. Each image must be accompanied by the following credit line: [Name of creator] / Museum of the City of New York. [Accession number]. If the image will be posted online, please provide a link back to the catalog record in the collections portal."

If this means I need to update the templates from PD to CC BY 3.0 or fair use, let me know. With regard to the image from the book, I have gone back and checked the sourcing and am confident that image remains in the public domain as it was published without a copyright notice.Etzedek24^{(I'll talk at ya) (Check my track record)}02:53, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

The problem is that Wikipedia hardly qualifies as "personal use": it's not just a website, or school project, and posting material here violates non-commercial use: when material is posted it can immediately be viewed, downloaded, and reused by anyone in the world, for any purpose, including commercial (Reusing Wikipedia content), with the exception of non-free material, which is tightly restricted, as explained inWikipedia:Non-free content. The MCNYrights page also makes several other statements that cast doubt on the free use of images:

• "In some cases, the Museum owns only the physical object and does not assume copyright ownership... clearing copyright and any other rights that may be vested in an image is entirely the responsibility of the researcher."
• "Reproductions of objects in the Museum's collections may be licensed for personal, scholarly or commercial uses"
• "Permission to use an image is based on the rights stated on the invoice or permission form. No image may be distorted in any way, whether by rotation, inversion, change of proportion, color alteration, superimposition, animation or any other method without prior approval from the Museum"

What this boils down to is that the Museum restricts use beyond personal, and simply does not claim copyright of material it does not have rights to. And similarly, the inclusion of images in Mendes (2015),Under The Strain of Color does not bear upon the images' underlying copyright: the publisher may well have acquired permission from the rights holder or museum, as is the case in most commercial publications. And note you can't change licenses to CC-BY because only the copyright holder can choose the license. The easiest way to prove Public Domain for post-1923 works (and it is not always easy) is to find a book or periodical where the images wereoriginally published, check for valid copyright notice, and then, subsequent renewal after the required legal period. Demonstrable failure on either of those would make a good case for PD. The default assumption should be that something is in copyright unless there is credible evidence to the contrary. It is possible that some of the images may qualify for fair-use, provided they satisfyall of thenon-free content criteria. We cannot add images just because they make an article look nicer: there must beno free equivalent, they must beessential to explaining the article subject, etc. I hate to see good images deleted, so I suggest you ask the community at the Commons Copyright Village Pump for possible more legal loopholes, but I fear that with existing documentation the images just won't stand up to a challenge. All the best,--Animalparty! (talk)03:58, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

Hi, I just promoted your hook and one of the images toPrep 4. I'd just like to note that the hook fact must be sourced in the article perWP:DYK#Eligibility criteria 3. Cited hook. You only provided the cite on the nomination template. I added the cite to the lead, which is the only place this hook fact appears. That surprised me; I think you should say that it was the first further down in the article, and move the cite there.

Also, you may want to check outWP:SRF to learn how to do Harvard referencing for your book sources. That way, you can print a short list of book sources in a bibliography, and the notes would each consist of a few words and automatically direct to the bibliography.

Hi Etzedek24! Thanks for your copy edit ofDate Masamune (Sengoku Basara) for theSeptember copy-editing drive. It's a huge improvement to the article. I just want to give you a little feedback:

• I think you're probably right to go with the character's surname, Date. With works of fiction we use whatever is the character's common name in those works (as opposed to non-fiction biographies which almost always use the surname).
• Wikipedia uses the logical quotation system (MOS:LQ) which essentially places punctuation on the outside of the quotation unless it is actually part of the quotation. This also applies to titles.
• Foreign words generally get italics. The guideline is that foreign loanwords not common in everyday non-specialized English should be italicized (MOS:FOREIGNITALIC). So anime and katana are common and fine without italics butjinbaori should get italics.

I did some minor ce for these points and a little for conciseness. But I'm being picky, for a C-class article your copy edit was plenty thorough. Please let me know if you have any questions. – Reidgreg (talk)20:46, 15 September 2018 (UTC)

@Reidgreg: No, I very much appreciate the feedback. I'm kind of just going off of my general copy-editing background, and am still working at mixing in the MOS stuff, as you noted.
