Permission to use NRL photo

Dear Jonathunder, I am a retired NRL scientist and am writing a memoir about my professional life. I would like to use your photo of NRL that you posted on Wikipedia. Please advise what URL I should use for attribution. Thanks, James Repace. Repace1 (talk) 15:43, 6 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have redacted your email address so you are less likely to get spam, but I will reply to it directly. Jonathunder (talk) 17:23, 6 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Advent Wreath Picture Permission

Source	Own work
Date	2010-12-13
Author	Jonathunder
Permission (Reusing this file)	See below.

By all means, use it as you wish. I happen to think it's not the best photograph of the subject--it never turned out like I intended--but I'm glad you have a use for it. Jonathunder (talk) 15:24, 12 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Permission for use of image

Hi Jonathunder, I was wondering if I could edit your photo, File:4MeasuringSpoons.jpg, to outline the different spoons according to their respective articles. I saw the notice about posting on your talk page before changing the photo. Thanks! Newyorkadam (talk) 23:38, 2 January 2014 (UTC)Newyorkadam[reply]

The photo is hosted on Commons where the description is a wiki. Like editing here, if you see a way to improve it, please go ahead. You don't need my permission to do that. Jonathunder (talk) 23:58, 2 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Great, thanks, will upload soon :) Newyorkadam (talk) 02:39, 3 January 2014 (UTC)Newyorkadam[reply]

Lake Vermilion State Park

Hello Jonathunder-- After some habitual confusion on the proper spelling of Vermilion, I converted your redirect to a stand-alone article on the park, now that the DNR has a page. It is a stub only and I may not do much more on it, at least for a while, so if you, McGhiever, or anyone else want to work on it, feel free. Best regards, Kablammo (talk) 13:34, 15 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It's a good start. Thanks. Jonathunder (talk) 16:28, 15 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Question, did you seriously tell me to "drop the stick" regarding a conversation that stopped 36 hours ago? I'd drop it, but I can't remember where I left it when I dropped it Tuesday.--Cube lurker (talk) 00:42, 28 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No, I have never addressed any comment to you and I don't think we've ever interacted. You can go back to enjoying your semiretirement. Jonathunder (talk) 00:56, 28 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If that part of [1] wasn't addressed to me, (I guess both parts were for Kevin), then I misunderstood. If so, my apologies and carry on.--Cube lurker (talk) 01:06, 28 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for March 29

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Robert Eatinger, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Scott Muller (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Re: Your warning

I am guilty of using incorrect tags, being new to Wiki editing, for that I apologize. I used the appropriate tag for the most recent upload.

But get your facts straight before issuing your warnings. In MN, all government data is public, unless specifically protected. The photo I am uploading is public domain per the Minnesota Government Data Practices act. Robdoar (talk) 15:42, 9 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the photograph you uploaded is public but that is not at all the same thing as public domain. Wikipedia cannot borrow text or images simply because a state government agency puts them on a public website. Jonathunder (talk) 16:00, 9 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please cite the MN statute that states a public photo has any sort of protection that prevents Wikipedia from using it. Or is this an ambiguous Wiki policy? Robdoar (talk) 16:31, 9 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This 1995 advisory from the Minnesota Attorney General says in the first sentence: "State agency data constituting original works of authorship are protected by federal copyright law." The specific laws which lead to that conclusion are discussed there in great detail. Jonathunder (talk) 16:40, 9 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The legislature is not an agency, but I'm tired of going in circles. I won't post any further edits to any pages, and you can be content in ignorance. Robdoar (talk) 16:50, 9 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If you read the entire opinion and the statutes it cites, you'll find it covers all works produced "for hire" by employees of the State of Minnesota in the course of their official duties. I'm sorry you think I'm ignorant, but this is a subject I have studied in depth and I could help you understand if you are willing. Jonathunder (talk) 17:04, 9 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

RE Swiss Chard Image

Hi,

I would like permission to use the Swiss Chard image on my website which is all about healthy living.

I can place your name next to the image but the link maybe bit of a problem.

Hope that will be ok!

The use of one of your images

Hello Jonathunder,

My name is Holly Smithson and I am the editor of Bath Spa University's student magazine, milk.

We'd really like to use your photography of the sweetcorn in the box in our annual print edition alongside an article entitled ‘Can Organic Feed the World?’

This isn't for commercial use, but for a student magazine that is likely to be shown/given to potential employers in the publishing industry by contributing students.

We would credit the image to you, and include your web address, if you'd like?

I look forward to hearing from you.

Many thanks,

Holly.

Sigh

Your recent edit at James Earle Fraser (a good edit) replaced pictures that I took of my nickels and used while starting the article just 10 years ago. This is a pretty good run here for shots such as those. Keep up the good work, Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 17:53, 8 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Your photos were great, but the nickel was pretty worn. Keep taking photos, especially if you come across an old coin in good condition. Jonathunder (talk) 18:30, 8 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yellow Corn Image

We are considering using part of this image for a sell sheet. We would show about half of one ear of the corn in your photo. The print run would be small 100-300 copies. Could you contact me to discuss?

Yes, will contact. Jonathunder (talk) 15:03, 21 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

New question raised regarding Talk:Hillary Rodham Clinton/April 2015 move request

Some opposers of this move have now contended that there is a "Critical fault in proposal evidence", which brings the opinions expressed into question. Please indicate if this assertion in any way affects your position with respect to the proposed move. Cheers! bd2412 T 04:38, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
