Welcome to WikiProject Ships

Hello Vvmodel, and welcome to WikiProject Ships! Please see the navigation sidebar on our main project page for information about our project guidelines, resources, and pending tasks. You can post any questions at the project talk page. Thank you for joining - we look forward to working with you! Maralia (talk) 15:46, 3 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Vvmodel. I too would like to welcome you to WP:Ships. I noticed your question on Maralia's talk page, and thought I might be able to help answer your question. From my interpretation of the British copyright laws, as long as the images you took were not used for your work (i.e., actually published by your employer), you retain ownership of the photos, and are free to upload them here as you like, whether that be releasing them to the public domain, or licensing them under the GDFL, or the Creative Commons licenses. If you do want to license the images, you'll want to read the details of both licenses to make sure you choose what's right for you. If the images you've taken have been published by your employer, (at least this is my understanding of the copyright laws), they then own the images. In this case, since the ships you've photographed are still in existence, anyone could take pictures of them, so that would fail Fair use. I hope that was helpful, and not too confusing. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask me, or any other WP:Ships member. You can reply here if you want, and I'll see it. Again, welcome aboard :) Regards, Parsecboy (talk) 21:27, 3 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. No problem whatever about ownership - I was working totally freelance on this. Images include all interiors of gallery decks etc on the CV (Illustrious) and panoramics of the frigates and destroyers. Also, detail shots of equipment items. I did a photo tour of the well-deck interior of the LPD (Fearless). Photos of SSN (Trenchant) necessarily topsides only, but they do show the experimental camo scheme. The photos were mainly for my own use, to build accurate models. --Vvmodel (talk) 23:06, 3 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That sounds perfectly fine then; there should be no problems with you uploading as many as you want, under whatever license you so choose. The uploading process isn't too difficult, you just point the page to the location of the image on your computer, and use the drop down menu to pick the appropriate license. There's also a text box for you to provide any other information or description of the image. You can take a look at Image:Camp Victory Baghdad DCN.JPG, an image I uploaded, for an example. Regards, Parsecboy (talk) 00:42, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Just came to let you know that I've responded at my talk page - and I see Parsecboy is on the case, too :) Maralia (talk) 22:26, 3 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

HMS Sheffield

Thanks for your input, if you look at the material now available, there is no difference between the British and Argentine versions of the events. Consensus is currently to merge the two. I don't know where the differences arose but the two accounts have never been that far apart. It is on my list of things to do but I haven't got round to changing it yet.

Notability of Ned Doheny

A tag has been placed on Ned Doheny requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Daltxn (talk) 19:30, 3 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 35 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:
