Greetings. I see you've been adding {{Nosource}} tags to images without sources, and I appreciate your efforts. But I wanted to point you to this discussion on when the tag should not be used. Thanks, – Quadell ^{(talk) (bounties)} 13:10, 27 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No problem! Thanks for doing this. Yes, you're right about Image:Bocage.jpg and Image:GonçalvesDias.jpeg. They are probably out of copyright, but without a source it's hard to know for sure. Your English is terrific, by the way - I hadn't known you were Portuguese until I looked at your user page! – Quadell ^{(talk) (bounties)} 19:51, 27 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

re Image:Polyp.jpeg

I put a copyright tag on Image:Polyp.jpeg. Acceptable? Steve Kd4ttc 22:56, 27 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Right now we're doing a fairly major overhaul of the code, give it a week, I think it should be ready in a week or so. -- Tawker 05:45, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Olá, filhote de Salazar

Como vai, fascista? Ainda em extase com meu bloqueio? Por falar nisso, adorador da suástica e de Salazar, qdo ele expira? As regras lá (ok, as arbitrariedades e arrogancias de vcs não respeitam regras nenhuma, o site é de "voces", eu sei, vc é tão degenerado que colocou lá que me bloqueou por "ofensa". Que ofensa? Vc faz o que quer, nao? Quebra até as regras da Wikipedia que diz que administradores so podem bloquear alguem, como ultimo recurso, em casos de vandalismo) dizem que os bloqueios são temporarios e rapidos. Será o tempo que V. Sa. quiser? Indefinidamente? Avise.

Preciso retomar minha campanha pelo fair use (afinal, se vc é contra vem fazer o que aqui no Wikipedia americano? aqui é só de gente que gosta da liberdade de informação, textual e visual, como eu).

Dê noticias, mein fuehrer. Saudações (não-fascistas, claro, que eu não sou da tua turma).

PS:Já notou como é odiado por la? Já aprontou muito ali com usuários comuns, não?

Unspecified source for Image:Barbican-arts-centre-large.jpg

Hi, ex-user Nevilley here. I am slightly depressed that years after deciding not to edit the wiki much any more I still have to be bothered with photo licensing issues. I really thought that I had already done everything I could to make sure my stuff would remain accessible but it seems like the rules keep changing or something. I took a number of reasonably good photos which I hoped could just stay available as long as they were useful to anyone - I did not expect, and do not want, to do any maintenance...

I do honestly appreciate that you are trying to do the right thing and I applaud your intentions. I am just a little bothered that we can't just let sleeping dogs lie! Is there no better way than this??

Best wishes
