Hi, welcome to Wikipedia (an official welcome will come soon, I hope), please be careful when uploading images with an uncertain copyright status - all images have to be free for any use, even commercial! See the recent Signpost article for more information. Before uploading more images, read what to consider about their copyright and how to tag them at the Wikipedia:Images page, section "Uploading images". Also, try to re-tag all the images that you've already uploaded. Thanks and good luck! Matt  10:51, 25 May 2005 (UTC)Reply

Hi, thanks for welcoming me here... Yes, I'll soon look at all pictures I uploaded (I contacted authors of webpages I downloaded them from) --Josef Sábl cz 11:37, 25 May 2005 (UTC)Reply

Cool! BTW, I personally know the Saudek's web master, so I will ask him too (on the other hand, he's not the copyright owner, so I can't guarrantee it'll help...). Anyway, thanks! Matt  11:48, 25 May 2005 (UTC)Reply
Hello again, Czech collegue;) Od webmastera webu www.saudek.com jsem dostal vysloveny souhlas k pouziti fotek a ujisteni o "zadnych problemech". Nikde jsem nenasel tvou emailovou adresu, jestli mas zajem, napis mi na josef.sabl@post.cz, preposlu ti kopii. --Josef Sábl cz 18:22, 26 May 2005 (UTC)Reply
I already sent an email to webmaster explaining what I did and why. Also these pictures are provided for free download and are not directly Saudek's photos but collages customed to be placed on desktop, so I don't thik it will be problem. (Jinak me teda napada, ty jsi taky asi Cech, co?:)
Jo, to jsem. :) Ad Saudek - aha. Matt  13:13, 25 May 2005 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for uploading Image:George Martin.jpg. At present, it does not have a tag, please could you update its copyright status? Thanks Craigy   (talk) 22:16, May 29, 2005 (UTC)

Chanov vs Rudolice

edit

Perhaps the main page with article content should be Chánov.

The reason is that categories use this (and only this) name. Right now when a reader sees Rudolice it doesn't give him as much clue as Chanov. But I do not have overly strong oppinion on this, its just better fit with most commonly used term. Pavel Vozenilek 16:32, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

OK, You might be right... I'll take a look on pages linking to it and than change it back, thanks for opinion...

Sorry, I'm not the user who made the edit that you messaged me about. :) —tregoweth 22:34, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)

No problem. Welcome to Wikipedia! :) tregoweth 23:32, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)

Panelaks

edit

Panelaky are by definition Czech or Slovak, according to the article. So I replaced the Russian panelak with a picture of Czech ones. Mwalcoff 08:27, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Chanov picture

edit

The picture should have some tag, people here would remove those w/o. (Btw, was there any change in this place since this picture was taken? I am just curious.) Pavel Vozenilek 18:48, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Don't be discouraged

I'm sorry you couldn't sway the other people behind "panelak," but thanks for your interest and for adding the information about equivalents in other languages. Mwalcoff 16:55, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

"Prefabricated tower block"

edit

Hi,

I suppose "prefabricated tower block" is the best short equivalent to panelak, and if you've seen the term online, great. I have to warn you, though, that I would find the term a bit confusing, mostly because we don't say "tower block" in American English (we say "high-rise apartment building"). And also, the building itself is not exactly prefabricated; the panels are. So somewhere in your edit, you should use a long form -- something like "tower blocks made of prefabricated concrete panels.

I'd be happy to help you with your English wherever you need assistance. I'm an English teacher in Prague (for now), so I'm well aware of the difficulties Czechs face when trying to speak or write in English. Mwalcoff 18:38, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Thank you for this image. I see that you uploaded for use in wikipedia. Does that mean we can use it under the GFDL license? The license we may use it under must be explicit or it will ahve to be deleted. This link is Broken 17:05, 5 September 2005 (UTC)Reply

The simple answer.... YES. The picture can be used for any purposes and can be edited. I don't know what exactly should have been written in the picture summary, so if you please edit the picture caption by yourself? Thank you. --Josef Sábl cz 06:27, 6 September 2005 (UTC)Reply
You should add a {{gfdl}} tag in the image summary. I have added it now. BTW, its a great illustration. pamri 08:07, September 10, 2005 (UTC)
Thanks, I'll do it--Josef Sábl cz 16:57, 11 September 2005 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for uploading Image:Ludwig-drums.jpg. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law. We need you to specify two things on the image description page:

  • The copyright holder, and
  • The copyright status

The copyright holder is usually the creator. If the creator was paid to make this image, then their employer may be the copyright holder. If several people collaborated, then there may be more than one copyright holder. If you created this image, then you are the copyright holder.

Because of the large number of images on Wikipedia, we've sorted them using image copyright tags. Just find the right tag corresponding to the copyright status of this image, and paste it onto the image description page like this: {{TAGHERE}}.

There are 3 basic ways to licence an image on Wikipedia:

  • The copyright holder gets the best protection of his work by licencing their work under an open content license like the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike licence. If you have the express permission of the copyright holder to licence their work under the above licence, use the image copyright tag: {{cc-by-sa-2.5}}. The GNU Free Documentation License is another choice for licencing one's work. Again, if you have the express permission of the copyright holder, use the tag: {{GFDL}}.
  • The copyright holder can also release his work into the public domain, see here for images released into the public domain.
    • Images from certain sources are automatically release into the Public Domain. This is true for most governments like the federal United States government. (See here for images from the government of the USA and here for other governments) However not all governments release their work into the public domain, such as the UK government (See herefor images from the UK government). Non-free licence governments are listed here.
  • Also, in some cases, an image is copyrighted but allowed on Wikipedia because of Fair Use. To see if this image qualifies and then how to tag it, see Wikipedia:Fair use.

For any other sources of for more information see Wikipedia:Image copyright tags. Please remember that if you don't tag your images, they will be deleted.

P.S. If you have uploaded other images without including copyright tags, please go back and tag them. Also, please tag all images that you upload in the future.

If you have any questions, just leave a message on my talk page. Thanks again. --Thryduulf 09:40, 1 November 2005 (UTC)Reply

I would love to get hold of a copy of the source for the OSI diagram ip possible. Would be most apreciated XadamX 10:52, 16 January 2006 (UTC) XadamXReply

Thanks for uploading Image:Most-hnevin.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Thank you. CLW 12:47, 23 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

OSI Layers Image

Josef,

Just wanted to tell you that the image comparing the OSI model to a letter delivery system is great. The analogy explains very clearly what each layer in the stack does. Neat!

File permission problem with File:Chanov2.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:Chanov2.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 12:49, 21 December 2013 (UTC)Reply
