[edit] Red link?
I was surprised that you indicated that the link at Portal:Music/Connections came up red for you. For me, it goes right to the Wikiversity page. I changed it back for now. Λυδαcιτγ 03:29, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Little context in Tourism in Europe
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Tourism in Europe, by Vegaswikian, another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Tourism in Europe is very short providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles.
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Tourism in Europe, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Please note, this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Tourism in Europe itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. --Android Mouse Bot 2 00:14, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] news
Too bad you deleted the news about the Queen Elisabeth Competition. You describe the item as not newsworthy because the agencies haven't covered it. The fact that the major international agencies haven't covered it is strangely true... Astonishing.
But who decides what's newsworthy on WP? Commercial news agencies? I think you're terribly wrong on this news item. The queen elisabeth competition is probably the most important classical music competition in the world, so winning it deserves a news item, at least in the music portal. A red link can simply be removed by removing the brackets.

[edit] Re: Image:Beatles cropped.jpg deleted without a log entry
Hi, this image was apparently hosted at the Wikimedia Commons. It was deleted earlier today by commons:User:EPO because of some copyright violation. I don't know what the problem was, I recall that this image was properly sourced and so forth. The easiest way to find out is to ask EPO about it. ˉˉanetode╦╩ 14:10, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
- It turns out that this was cropped from Image:Beatles.jpg, a photo deleted by commons:User:Tom because it was "Not a PD image; rights to pre-1991 UPI images are now owned by CORBIS: http://www.loc.gov/rr/print/res/151_upi.html; confirmed in CORBIS database." This is technically true, many images from the New York World-Telegram & Sun Collection at the Library of Congress were copyrighted by United Press International, which folded in '91 (correction: bankrupt, sold of all assets, etc.). While Corbis bought out the whole lot of UPI images, the LoC does note that "In an attempt to determine if UPI registered any copyrights and if those copyrights were renewed, Specialists in the Prints and Photographs Division of the Library of Congress searched the Copyright Office files. It was found that only a few images were registered for copyright and those copyrights were not renewed." If there is any proof that the copyright on that photograph was not renewed, we could prove that it is in the public domain. Don't expect Corbis to be cooperative though - they don't care whether they are claiming copyright on an expired image. ˉˉanetode╦╩ 14:17, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
- US Copyright Office. There's still a vital problem, was the image taken prior to 1963? If it was taken later, the copyright would not have lapsed. ˉˉanetode╦╩ 14:24, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
- According to the mirror, the photo was taken in 1964. I'm afraid that it is gone for good. :( ˉˉanetode╦╩ 14:27, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
- You might be able to persuade Corbis to allow for a limited Wikipedia-exclusive license, but they would never agree to license it under the GFDL. The bigger concern becomes consideration for replaceability. Since procuring a free-license photo of the Beatles is next to impossible, I think this is a good case for a fair use claim under Wikipedia policy. If a fair use claim were made, almost any portrait of the Beatles would qualify. (There is a possibility that this photo is in the public domain, but it is difficult to verify.) ˉˉanetode╦╩ 14:43, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
