Xipno image

[edit]

Sure. It was licensed GFDL but for use only on Wikipedia, which is not a valid license here on Wikipedia, so it was deleted. As to how you can get an image on here that will be kept, that all sort of depends... Did you create the logo? Do you hold copyright to it? If you can answer these questions yes or no I can help you find the correct license or fair use rationale.--Isotope23 17:55, 8 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, and you might want to read WP:CORP too... I don't see how Xipno meets the criteria there and while I'm not planning on taking any action at this time, be aware that if it does not meet that criteria there is a chance someone else will come along and nominate the article for deletion.--Isotope23 17:58, 8 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I will take a look at the criteria for this article. I want to make sure it conforms and will also look for a category for this to fit into. As for the logo, I did create it and am authorized to provide useage permissions. I looked at the descriptions of useage rights and chose use for only on Wikipedia because it seemed to make the most sense. Is there another article where I can get a better understanding of each license's terms and which one is the most appropriate? Sixes 13:44, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Images has a lot of information, as does Wikipedia:Image use policy. I suspect what you are looking for is a "fair use" rationale if you want to retain copyright but still allow it to be used in the article on the company. Wikipedia:Logos might also be helpful reading, and Wikipedia:Copyrights too. I'm no expert on copyright law and images here on Wikipedia, but I am almost positive you cannot release an image here just for use on Wikipedia because Wikipedia is under the GFDL. It either has to be licensed public domain, creative commons, or copyrighted and used under a fair use rationale. If you have more questions, the folks over at Wikipedia:Village pump might know more than I do.--Isotope23 16:55, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Ohio Newsletter

[edit]


Issue II - May 2008
From the editor:

Here's Issue II of the project newsletter. We're trying to decide if this is sinking or floating. If you would like to contribute to next month's newsletter please jump right in at the News Desk! Have a great May.

The Ohio Portal

The maintainers of the Ohio Portal are looking to get it to featured status. They would like to ask all project members to help improve it any way they can. What needs to be done most is the supplying of selected articles and images.

Selected Article: Indian Head Rock

There is a eight ton rock in Ohio that was removed from the Ohio River. This rock is known as the Indian Head Rock Dating back to the early 1800’s, this rock was seen sticking out of the Ohio River and used as a navigational mark for barges along the river. The names of citizens from the town of Portsmouth, Ohio are carved into the rock from the late nineteenth a early twentieth centuries. Some of the names were of well known families from Ohio. They would swim out to the rock, have their picture taken with it or simply carve their names into it.
With the advent of the Locks and Dams along the Ohio River, the rock eventually was submerged, but the legend lived on. A gentleman from Ironton, Ohio located the rock after searching a very long time for it, and he and a crew of scuba divers recovered the rock and took it to the shore to be donated to Ohio for historical value.
After hearing the news about the rock being removed, Kentucky introduced legislation against the removal of the rock. They also want the diver who found it to be prosecuted for removing the rock. Kentucky owns the greatest part of the land the river runs on. Even the Army Corp. of Engineers got involved as to how to move the rock without damaging it. Kentucky wants to have it returned to the river.

The WikiProject Ohio Newsletter


Issue III - June 2008
From the editor:

This is the third edition of the WikiProject Ohio newsletter. If you have any project announcements feel free to drop them by the NewsDesk. It's request that you watchlist our talk page; so you can chime in on current discussions. Have a great June!

The Ohio Portal

The maintainers of the Ohio Portal are looking to get it to featured status. They would like to ask all project members to help improve it any way they can. What needs to be done most is the supplying of selected articles and images.

Getting the Project Moving
  • WikiProject Ohio as an entity doesn't have as much action as other state projects. For this reason it has been proposed that the inactive WikiProject Ohio Townships be added as our taskforce. There is a !poll going on at WT:OH and your opinion is essential in the matter!
  • Stepshep has also proposed sending an invite to everyone in Category:Wikipedians in Ohio with an invite to join the project. If you are already a member you would not receive the notice of course. Once again, please note your opinion on the project talkpage.

The Central Avenue Historic District is a nationally recognized historic district located at 201 to 338 Central Avenue in Dayton, Ohio. It consists of late 19th and 20th Century Revival-style houses as well as late Victorian-style houses, which were all originally single-family residences.

On December 16, 1982, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places.

Each month a new Ohio related stub is the selected article. If you have a new stub created feel free to nominate it at the NewsDesk.

Your account will be renamed

[edit]

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Sixes. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Sixes~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation

Renamed

[edit]

This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: Special:GlobalRenameRequest. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk)
