Sailing Infobox

I think you've been adding the infoboxes to sailboat pages, correct? Your raw code is a little concerning; are you copying it from somewhere? Or subst'ing a template? - Davandron | Talk 17:34, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I am the originator of the infoboxes. They are a hack copy from something else. When I started the project, I was the only one making them and no one noticed. Any help you can give would be appreciated. Minnesota1 17:35, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

OK, good. I'm going to see about creating a sailboat infobox template. When I've got something, would you mind taking a look? - Davandron | Talk 13:53, 28 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there! Thanks for your sailboat spec infobox update to the Laser 4.7 page. Can you help me understand why the hull weight information doesn't display, even though it appears in the raw code? Is there a master infobox somewhere that needs to be updated? Thanks for your assistance. Wtroopwept 20:30, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

2007 America's Cup

The results of the Louis Vuitton Cup should be in the Louis Vuitton Cup article. Do you agree? Boatman 07:55, 29 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe less extensive results. I think a narrative would be better with final results. Minnesota1 19:25, 29 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Ship Stub Problems

Sorry for the delayed response, do you have some examples of the boat taggings? -- pb30<talk> 15:19, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

== Phantom (sailboat) ==

Hello. This is more or less a retread of what I posted to Wtroopwept's page, so please forgive the apparent spam.

I've spotted a new dinghy article, Phantom (sailboat), set up by a new user. I've lent a hand WRT adding a few things, but there's a limit to my expertise in this area. So, as I noticed you've been involved in related articles, I thought I'd pass on the news to you, so you can alert interested parties. Thanks. --Turnipface 13:01, 9 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. My main worry was the lack of info box (wouldn't really know what goes where), but if it's not needed, that's ok. --Turnipface 09:34, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:OKFlag.jpg

Thank you for uploading Image:OKFlag.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content.

Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy.

Image copyright problem with Image:470logo.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:470logo.gif. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

OIS

Thank you for the informative text on OIS-LIBOR spreads. As suggested at the two articles, I think that material would be much more useful if integrated into the article on OIS (or, vice versa), for the reasons articulated at Talk:Overnight indexed swap#Merge. Please comment there if you have any views. Regards, ^Bongo_matic 23:03, 6 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:A-Scow.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:A-Scow.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 Wikipedia's image use policy.
