User talk:ChuckM

Hello there, welcome to the 'pedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. If you need pointers on how we title pages visit Wikipedia:Naming conventions or how to format them visit our manual of style. If you have any other questions about the project then check out Wikipedia:Help or add a question to the Village pump. Cheers! --maveric149

Hi Chuck, I have moved your comments on the Wikipedia:Votes for deletion page to Wikipedia talk:Image use policy/copyright, as they were rather lengthy, and we would like to keep this growing discussion on a separate page. I have also left you a reply at their new location. -- Wapcaplet 21:24 22 Jun 2003 (UTC)

Actually, we don't have to revert anything. Reversion of banned user's stuff comes into force after the ban begins. Evercat 01:18 27 Jun 2003 (UTC)


Dear Chuck: Hi, I had no idea about the ban that guy had and stuff. Live and learn..lol I actually thought whoever did the page was doing a good job, but, oh well. I guess his past crimes came back to haunt him..lol

Thanks for letting me know and God bless you

And get used to my wacky and wild nicknames..LOL

If you have a complaint, I suggest you find a more mature way of dealing with it than inserting junk on random users' talk pages. Evercat 01:53 27 Jun 2003 (UTC)

Hi. As a newcomer, I'm wondering why you're throwing up so much bile on so many users' pages. If you are so unhappy, why are you here? RickK 02:21 27 Jun 2003 (UTC)


Users are under no legal obligation, whatsoever, to declare the source of an image. Or so I understand the situation. Pizza Puzzle

When you see an image in this format foo(small).jpg or foo(thumnail).jpg etc. You can be sure that it is an image that has been derived from a larger image. People generally do not bother to put copywrite info on such images. You should look to the description page of the larger image [usually foo.jpg but sometimes foo(large).jpg] Theresa knott 08:38 27 Jun 2003 (UTC)

Re photo images. You said: People generally do not bother to put copywrite info on such images. We should not have to guess or run around searching if there is another image somewhere else.

It is no great effort. Anyone who was worried about copywrite status could easily do so. Are you aware that most people see you new concern with this as malicous?

And, the image may or may not be an exact duplicate.

So what?

Courtesy and cooperation and User:Jtdirl and User:Brion VIBBER say that all images must have the copyright detail.

Fair enough. Since you have taken it apon yourself to check out copywrite of all images, {Not a bad idea IMO) perhaps you could link all desc. pages of small images to their larger counterparts. That way a causual visitor does not need to go searching around for the info and you will be doing a real service for Wikipedia.

And, if you do not do as User:Jtdirl says, he is allowed to curse and swear at you. Thank you for your cooperation. ChuckM 11:44 27 Jun 2003 (UTC)

Quite frankly, I couldn't really care less if anyone curses or swears at me. I not that sensitive. Theresa knott 12:49 27 Jun 2003 (UTC)


The US government does not use illegal copies of photo's. If a photo is on a government website it's ok to use it under fair use. I hope this clears things up. Theresa knott 12:53 27 Jun 2003 (UTC)


If you want to continue your conversation, do it here on your own talk page. There's been quite enough of your mucking up everybody else's. - Hephaestos 13:12 27 Jun 2003 (UTC)

Sorry Theresa knott but we have a Wikipedia Administrator abusing his powers. You said: The US government does not use illegal copies of photo's. If a photo is on a government website it's ok to use it under fair use. I hope this clears things up. Theresa knott 12:53 27 Jun 2003 (UTC)

However, this is the words of Wikipedia Administrator User:Jtdirl from the Wikipedia:Votes for deletion page:

  • The following image he lists with the questionable justification that it belongs to the Government of Canada as is as a result public property.

· :Image:DavidAhenakew.jpg Theresa, you said the following: IMO we should delete the lot of them. Better to be safe than sorry plus it gives a clear message that coprighted material will not be tolerated.Theresa knott 09:02 19 Jun 2003 (UTC)


User talk: User:Hephaestos/ban


Please note: This user is repeatedly requesting confirmation of the copyright status of assorted images uploaded to Wikipedia. This is being done maliciously, in protest of the banning of User:Joe Canuck, who was banned after repeatedly uploading images of dubious copyright status, as well as assorted threats aimed at Wikipedians who objected to this.

For the most part, this user's questions can be ignored.

For information on ChuckM, see User talk:Joe Canuck. ChuckM has now been proposed for banning. See User:ChuckM/ban

the above was the previous contents of the user page. Banned now following Jimbo's mailing list post. Martin 20:13 27 Jun 2003 (UTC)
