thread_title:  Voting 

message: I am new to WIKI too.  I just wanted to show you this link.  It has some great formal photographs of ball players.  example:  Freddie Parent 1902  Colleen Foy  foysterling@comcastnet  http://www.baseball-fever.com/showthread.php?102911-19th-Century-Historic-Photographic-Archive/page3
I'm new to wikipedia (longtime user) and would like to contribute to the baseball project. Specifically: adding scans of baseball cards to player biographies.
I read over the wikipedia's policy and there seems to be a noted exception for "copyright" material:
"However, for some retired or disbanded groups, or retired individuals whose notability rests in large part on their earlier visual appearance, a new picture may not serve the same purpose as an image taken during their career, in which case the use would be acceptable."
This along with what appears to be the major card producers having no concern about thousands of websites and blogs using their images. It doesn't interfere with their sales, and the images of the cards are just that and not reproducing the physical cards themselves.
Decent "free" photographs of players before the digital camera era are few and far between. A picture of a seventy-two year old Juan Marichal does not give his playing days due justice...other players have no photos at all.
I have thousands of cards I could scan and upload, but if they are just going to get deleted, I won't bother. Just seeking input on the matter.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by ProfessorTombstone (talk • contribs) 21:31, 11 December 2011 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:POTD row/September 4, 2006

message: Could the image description still be reworded? Currently, the image caption reads:
    Cutaway view of a carnivorous Sarracenia (North American pitcher plant) flower with anatomical parts labeled. The flowers have an elaborate design which prevents self-pollination. They are generally located well above the pitcher traps to avoid the trapping of potential pollinators.
This wording makes it sound as though the actual flower is carnivorous, which it obviously is not. I would suggest rewording as follows:
    Cutaway view of the flower of a carnivorous Sarracenia (North American pitcher plant) with anatomical parts labeled. The flowers have an elaborate design which prevents self-pollination. They are generally located well above the pitcher traps to avoid the trapping of potential pollinators.

S.P.Q.N was most likely in imitation of the well-known S.P.Q.R., the initialism of the Latin noun phrase, Senatus Populusque Romanus ("The Senate and the People of Rome"), Thus, the Neapolitan phrase meant "The Senate and People of Naples."
