Wikipedia talk:Historical archive/Imported pictures/Pictures from libdems.org.uk permission

message: I don't like this -- is this all right with GFDL, if it does not cover third-party use?  Certainly Wikipedians in the United Kingdom can get some photographs themselves and licence them under GFDL?  -- Kaihsu 20:00, 2004 Feb 24 (UTC)
The images are all fairly simple fair use - all publicity pictures used as intended. So, unlikely to be problematic in the event that the license is of no value. These are an example of images where the uploader and wikipedia are protected legally by having a license but others can use fair use if they don't want to ask for their own permission. It's not unusual to find this licensed plus fair use combination for images from non-US contributors, since fair use is not a concept which generally exists outside the US and fair dealing is significantly more restricted. While in this case it appears not to be problematic because fair use and here, fair dealing, most likely, applies, the request for permission has these flaws:
* Asked for "educational", "free" and "online" use, which limits some reusers, including use by a print wikipedia.
* Didn't ask for GFDL or GFDL-compatible license, so it's not 100% certain that GFDL permission has been given.
But, in this case, those don't actually matter because of the nature of the images and their likely uses. Just traps for others to watch out for when requesting permission.
If you want to protect yourself when uploading an image as fair use, one useful technique is to get Wikipedia-only permission. Not as good as GFDL but it's enough to make sure that you and the Wikipedia won't be sued, while the fair use nature means that the restrictive license doesn't harm others. That extra measure of legal protection is a good thing. Jamesday 10:18, 2 Jun 2004 (UTC)

message: Could someone involved with obtaining whatever permission was given please decide which  image copyright tag should be used on these?  There is a large project in progress to get as many images tagged as possible.  Those not tagged with a compatible license will be left out of the Mandrake Linux distribution, e.g.  See that project page for details.  (If you want, just tell me what the tag should be and I'll add it.)  Thanks.  Kbh3rd 04:02, 10 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Talk:IP address blocking

message: What about methods of evading an IP ban, and it's effectiveness? For example I believe some people's ISP assigns them a different IP address quite often, as mine seems to. I also heard that a proxy can be used to evade an IP ban, though I barely know what this means.
Yeah, banning a single IP isn't all that effective. Most people have dynamic IPs which change frequently, and can be changed in a few minutes with minimal know-how. Banning an IP range will keep out unwanted people for longer, since you're essentially blocking every possible IP in that user's pool of IPs, but you will also block any innocent people sharing that pool. Because of this, I would disagree that an IP ban is "effective" as stated in the article. I actually came to this article to see if any better alternatives were listed in a criticism section. --64.180.201.204 (talk) 04:02, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Cycle space

message: :The elements of the cycle space can be characterized by the cuts: A set of edges is an element of the cycle space if and only if it meets every cut in a finite number of edges.
This can't be quite right, since in a finite graph any set of edges would qualify. AxelBoldt 21:11, 24 Feb 2004 (UTC)

message: Article currently states:
:It is not necessary to use all cycles to generate the cycle space: if G is connected and any spanning tree T of G is given, then the fundamental cycles of T form a basis of the cycle space.
I don't really understand what this is saying. Clearly, adding just one edge to a spanning tree makes a cycle, and also its clear that one gets one unique cycle for every edge that is not in the spanning tree. Is this the definition of a "fundamental cycle"? linas (talk) 23:12, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

Template talk:Controversial

message: I see this template often and I often wonder what it's meant to impart. That Wikipedia acknowledges that the topic is controversial? That should be readily apparent by a number of other warnings and links to prior discussions by that point. That we want users to follow our standard dispute resolution process? I doubt the current language would be successful at that, especially as that language is already shoved into the standard talk header template. That we want users to abide by NPOV? Doubtful that this template sandwiched on the talk page will cut it. Is there one singular thing we're looking for users to get from this? Because there might be a better way to express it with existing templates. czar 22:37, 5 July 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Forbes 500

message: Pakaran. thought that the list of Forbes 500 companies (originally here, now at List of Forbes 500 might be copyrighted.
But since the list was created by taking certain facts (not copyrightable) ordering them by size (obvious ordering) and giving each company a rank for each factor (a simple fact from its placement in the list). Then, for each company, they summed the rank in each factor (again, a fact), ordered the result by size, took the top 500, and then putting them in alphabetical order (obvious ordering). The result is not copyrightable under Feist v. Rural Telephone Service.
There are some theories that Forbes might have something here that's copyrightable (because they chose what factors to weigh and how to define them), but this seems unlikely, and Forbes is also unlikely to mind much. 
I'd like to see this contain the merged alphabetic list of all 824 in the  individual top 500s, since that's really a better indication of the companies which we should cover first and this list already doesn't give the actual ranks. That happens to be more assuredly safe on the copyright side as well, so it would be good all around, IMO. Jamesday 04:21, 16 Feb 2004 (UTC)
