Images

Is it possible to get an image here? Whispyhistory (talk) 15:11, 28 November 2020 (UTC)

Thank you. I have also captured several images from the 1947 film but what licence do I add? Whispyhistory (talk) 18:32, 28 November 2020 (UTC)
Which film? Philafrenzy (talk) 19:02, 28 November 2020 (UTC)
this one 1947. Also, I think the grail's name has something to do with the holy grail...but I'll let you investigate. Whispyhistory (talk) 19:32, 28 November 2020 (UTC)
What licence do you think would be appropriate and why? I guessed. Will have a look. Philafrenzy (talk) 21:00, 28 November 2020 (UTC)
Please check the image uploaded. if it is correct, shall I add more? Are you able to add image here? Whispyhistory (talk) 08:11, 29 November 2020 (UTC)
I see you have copied the rationale and licence from the existing trailer images. As long as you use the same source, it seems fine. Philafrenzy (talk) 20:57, 30 November 2020 (UTC)
Sabu would be good but difficult from the trailer. Are you able to help here? Also...I could do with some advice here...what are the rules of linking? eg in the lead....and there are increasing number of red links. Whispyhistory (talk) 19:58, 4 December 2020 (UTC)

I started to tidy (what I thought was tidy) this....Don't have heart to leave it half finished. Please advise. Whispyhistory (talk) 15:15, 12 December 2020 (UTC)

It's not too bad but needs a longer lead, and each section needs fleshing out, perhaps with reviews of his work saying what he brought to each role. Also there is too much uncited material. Philafrenzy (talk) 22:46, 12 December 2020 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Shanghai Jews

Svetlana Lloyd

Long enough for DYK, with a hook about how she went into a Paris boutique hoping for a receptionist job, and started work the next day as a model for Christian Dior.

Another composer

Any addition to help with this would be appreciated. Whispyhistory (talk) 17:56, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

Can screenshots of the film be taken as was done in Surprise Attack? The film is 1964 but I think copyright rules have a 1957 date, but I'm not sure. Whispyhistory (talk) 19:31, 5 January 2021 (UTC)
What are the rules in India? Philafrenzy (talk) 21:32, 5 January 2021 (UTC)
The Copyright Act, 1957 - 60 yrs from taking picture, so need to wait another few years. Do plot summaries need a citation? If so, can the original film be used? Whispyhistory (talk) 05:55, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
Correct. For plot, see MOS:PLOT but you already had two refs there so I assume you thought them necessary. You can remove the CN if they are not necessary. Philafrenzy (talk) 08:13, 6 January 2021 (UTC)

Bobath

Thank you for removing the PROD on the Bobath Centre article. I got caught up in an article that linked to the charity side of the buildings, and read the Bobath article from the POV that it was about the charity not the buildings (with a "notability is not inherited from the buildings" stance). Entirely my fault, so thank you for sorting it! MIDI (talk) 15:56, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for identifying award recipients

Just saw that you had a couple notices for award categories above and I wanted to thank you for grouping the award recipients together. Since the WP:OCAWARD editing guideline was tightened, I've been working to move this information into the article space. Before nominating award categories, I always copy the contents into a list within the main article so no work is lost for readers.

If my CFL notices ever are cluttering your talk page, just let me know and I'll start omitting them. - RevelationDirect (talk) 10:36, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

Images

Hi...I found an image (photo) of Henry Goodeve in the first reference in the article. In the same reference is an image (sketch) of the four students including Chuckerbutty. Can I use them? If so then how and can you see them? Whispyhistory (talk) 20:09, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

It's not on anything I subscribe to. Email it and I will look. Philafrenzy (talk) 20:36, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
I tried myself for Sister Agnes....can you kindly check please. Whispyhistory (talk) 16:46, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
If the author is unknown, how do you know they have been dead 70 years? Also, you have a great deal of glare at the bottom. Try a flat bed scanner in future or position the camera so that there is no reflection from lights. Philafrenzy (talk) 17:30, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
What do I do? The image is from latest 1941. Whispyhistory (talk) 17:36, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
I have fixed it - it just qualifies for PD-UK-unknown. Read that licence and make a note of the licence code so that you can use it in future if necessary. Try taking the photograph again too and uploading it using the "Upload a new version of this file" facility. Philafrenzy (talk) 17:55, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
Thanks I tried again... several other images in the book show life in the early days. Whispyhistory (talk) 18:28, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
It's an improvement. You can try others. A flat bed scanner might be a good investment. You might already have one if you own a multi-function printer? Philafrenzy (talk) 18:38, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
OK...thanks. I've done more uploads. Will look at a scanner.Whispyhistory (talk) 18:51, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
Such images should be referenced to the book (not where they say they got it from). Philafrenzy (talk) 18:53, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
Glare and uneven lighting on a couple of them. It's difficult to do well at night or under artificial lighting. Also you may distort the proportions of the image. Philafrenzy (talk) 18:58, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
I'll practice. Whispyhistory (talk) 19:10, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
Not sure what I'm doing wrong with last image (vaccine). Whispyhistory (talk) 09:22, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
Before uploading an image ask yourself 1) is it still in copyright? 2) did I take it myself and am donating under CCBYSA rules? If the first it can only be on Wikipedia under fair use provisions which are very limited. If it is your own work or is out of copyright it can go on Commons. Note it is not necessarily your own work just because you took the picture, for instance if you took a photograph of a copyrighted image such as a book cover or poster. Philafrenzy (talk) 09:38, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
For instance - you decide to take yet another portrait of Stanley Gelbier who poses for you. That is your work and can go on Commons under CCBYSA. But if you take a picture of someone else's photograph of Stanley, it can't go on Commons unless it is so old it is out of copyright. Philafrenzy (talk) 09:40, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
Ok...sorry. What is wrong with ref 1?Whispyhistory (talk) 09:48, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
It doesn't include everything a book reference should contain. Philafrenzy (talk) 10:21, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
Lockhart-Mummery...I think time caught up with me and the dyk deadline has gone for this. It should be a topic of a PhD thesis. The whole family looks notable too. Whispyhistory (talk) 06:45, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
Keep going. (only one of those was an obituary) Philafrenzy (talk) 08:22, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
Don't link to Google as a matter of course. A full preview is one thing but if all they have is basic details then WorldCat or something else might be more useful. Also check archive.org to see if they have the full book.
Similarly, don't assume that the edition that Google shows is the first or the UK edition. For a U.K. author use the first British edition generally. The After-treatment of Operations was published first by Baillière & Co. in London, not William Wood & Company.
Finally @Whispyhistory: you have multiple references to Hough's book. See here and the O'Donoghue books for how you can handle this if not using the note/reference system. Philafrenzy (talk) 10:23, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
I don't understand the tag. Whispyhistory (talk) 18:47, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
It's OK now. There is more you can add. He says St Marks only dealt with diseases of the rectum and he talks about how much surgery he did. One of the sources talks about a rivalry with another surgeon. The section on his views is sketchy and even if wrong would make the article more interesting if you could elaborate, perhaps particulary if he was wrong. Also, in the preface to one of his first books he talks about how modern diet is worse for the body as it is too refined, unlike in "uncivilised" countries where there is more roughage. Before his time with that? Philafrenzy (talk) 10:46, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
Looking now. Whispyhistory (talk) 16:23, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
Also, I suspect that his last book is a goldmine of opinions that could form interesting hooks, as that is the nature of last books. Philafrenzy (talk) 18:42, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
