Portland pictures

Hi there,

I am trying to get more pictures of Portland on Wikipedia. I think the view from the Boulevard of downtown would be a perfect view. Do you have the ability to take it? I have a feeling that my digtal camera isn't good enough with long range pictures. If you'd like to see some of the pictures I've already taken, see User:Thomas.macmillan/Pictures uploaded to Wikipedia by User:Thomas.macmillan. To see a list I compiled of places needing pictures in the Portland area, see User:Thomas.macmillan/Pictures to take. Happy editing!--Thomas.macmillan 15:41, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use Image:Strangefolk_press_photo_tritone72.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Strangefolk_press_photo_tritone72.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

Go to the media 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 this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Rettetast (talk) 17:15, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
