| | ==Milt== |
| | Milt was a great contributor to our project who invested a lot of his own knowledge and time in it; Citizendium is much poorer without him. He was highly trusted and respected, previously serving as the project's Treasurer and on the elected Management and Editorial Councils. However, we were a small part of a long life: Milt completed his degree in 1944, but his graduation was delayed while he saw action in Europe during the Second World War. Decades of experience in both chemical and environmental engineering followed, and he would become a well-published authority on various aspects of these fields, as recognized by his Fellowship of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers. His daughter also tells me he liked to apply his engineering approach to everyday life by collecting recipes and carefully replicating dishes he'd enjoyed. Milt stood firm against pseudoscience and other nonsense, as we at Citizendium can attest, and was a strong proponent of the science and the facts. I am sure I speak for those who knew him here when I say that we will miss him. [[User:John Stephenson|John Stephenson]] ([[User talk:John Stephenson|talk]]) 12:27, 28 February 2015 (UTC) |

| :Mary, you used the * correctly on the Related Links subpage ... but I had to correct the format of the hyperlinks to online websites. One does '''not''' simply write [url]. Instead, the url is followed by single space and then a title for that website item. For example, '''<nowiki>[http://adage.com/century/icon04.html]</nowiki>''' was corrected to this '''<nowiki>[http://adage.com/century/icon04.html Betty Crocker]</nowiki>''' which then displays simply as [http://adage.com/century/icon04.html Betty Crocker].

| :Also, once again, you do not need to sign your name after the four tildes because the tildes sign your name for you and the result is that your name appears twice in your signature (just look at your above signature). Please remember, all you do is sign with four tildes.[[User:Milton Beychok|Milton Beychok]] 06:01, 26 July 2010 (UTC) | | See: [https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=kBHMSC4AAAAJ&hl=en&oi=sra MR Beychok] |

| |
| This what I posted on my talk page. Lighten up fellas. The name I submitted sure looked like a REAL name to me and let it go at that. It is a lovely photo that I used on my wikiHow account and decided to move over here. The photo came from Flickr and I liked it. Do YOU make time to share anything positive here, or are are you all sitting around waiting to "pounce" on the newbies? I did add the hyperlink showing where the image was found so anyone could search it out. Finally, I did some research and indeed this is a dying wiki. I wonder why...

| == Photo Attribution ==
| |
| This morning, after feeling so much better, I realized why I was doing this. Any work done for hire and any work paid for by the US Government, or by an employee of the US Government, is considered work for hire or public domain. See: http://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ1.pdf Attribution automatically goes to the agency that paid for the work and since we all paid for the federal government photo it's considered public domain. That means the Mack article and the Osprey article were correctly attributed by me. It would be best to change the current attributions to the Harvard Press Office and US Government for those photos as they are now incorrect. It is nice to credit the photographer, if known, but the correct and presumably legal attribution goes to the agencies involved. I fulfilled my ethical and professional responsibility by notifying Citizendium of their error. [[User:Mary Ash|Mary Ash]] 15:17, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| :If you will look at the photo of Mack that you uploaded, the photo itself has attribution to Harvard Press at the bottom (in very small print). As for the the V-22 Osprey photo you uploaded, the current credit line (which I added as required by CZ) has both the U.S. Navy (which is the government agency) and their photographer's name (who took the photo). So all is well. Thanks for your comment and concern. [[User:Milton Beychok|Milton Beychok]] 17:51, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
| |
| ::If you check the file history for the Osprey the attribution is incorrect. Credit goes to the U.S. Government not the author as it is public domain and work for hire photo. See: http://en.citizendium.org/wiki?title=Image%3AOsprey.png&diff=100693841&oldid=100693698 [[User:Mary Ash|Mary Ash]] 18:08, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
| |
| ::: Wrong. James Darcy is in fact the author of the work and legally entitled to attribution. If you check the copyright line ([[Template:Osprey.png/credit]]) you will see that both are credited. --[[User:Chris Key|Chris Key]] 18:11, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

| == [[:Image:Russian Blue kitten.jpg]] ==
| |
| | |
| Hi Milt. You requested that [[:Image:Russian Blue kitten.jpg]] be deleted. Flor de Azur is the name of the Company that produced the photos [http://www.flordeazur.com/RussianBlue_Main.html] and holds the copyright. We have plenty of other photos with an 'unknown' author, and as long as the copyright holder is given we always seem to be okay with this. Are you sure it should be deleted? --[[User:Chris Key|Chris Key]] 09:19, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| :Chris, before I requested speedy deletion, I spent about 30 minutes surfing that company's website (including their photo gallery) and could not find that specific photo of a kitten ... so it is hard for me to convince myself that the company is truly the copyright owner of that particular photo.
| |
| | |
| :Meanwhile, I emailed Franziska Gabriela Waldmann, presumably the copyright owner of the original photo (Russian_Blue_001.gif) to confirm that she is the copyright owner and that she agrees to our using the photo and crediting her as the copyright owner. If she agrees, then I was going to re-instate that photo for use with the [[Russian Blue]] article. (P.S.: I asked Mary to send the email on the article's talk page and she did not respond. Instead, she uploaded the photo of the kitten.)
| |
| | |
| :As for the photo of the kitten, I suggest that you email Flor de Azur and confirm that they are indeed the copyright owners. When I send such emails (and I have done so with many photos that I uploaded), I insert a copy of the photo in my email. If they confirm that the photo is theirs, then I would have no objections to letting it remain uploaded. If they do not confirm or state that they don't want us to use it, then I would like to see it deleted as I requested.
| |
| | |
| :Chris, I have uploaded about 270 images and the above procedure is that which I have imposed upon myself before I upload pictures from Wikimedia Commons. Whenever a company has not responded to my requests for permission or has responded negatively, I did not upload the image. If you like, I could send you a copy of my "form letter" that I use.
| |
| | |
| :See [[CZ:Introduction to CZ for Wikipedians#Images]] and also [[CZ:Media Assets Workgroup/Example permission request letters]]. These are what guided me when I first joined CZ. [[User:Milton Beychok|Milton Beychok]] 11:37, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| :: No problem, I am happy to go with your judgement on this. I have deleted the photo and left a note on Mary's talk page asking her to obtain permission before re-uploading it. --[[User:Chris Key|Chris Key]] 18:48, 12 August 2010 (UTC) | |
