Invitation to join Wikiproject Ontario Roads

[edit]

Hey, I've noticed your recent edits to Aberdeen and your contributions to a few tunnels in the region. I thought I'd give you an invitation to the Ontario Roads WikiProject. We're a (rather small) group of editors that edit road articles. Take a look if you're interested. Cheers, ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ τ ¢ 20:44, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Actually

[edit]

It appears that you work for Morrison Hershfield. You may wish to openly declare your conflict of interest so that people aren't suspicious. Secondly, I encourage you to bring information and your great sources to the talk page and have other editors introduce them; your last few edits read like a pamphlet for the McGuinty government. You have access to some great information that I do not. Dates of original bridge construction are indicative of when that section of highway was built, so I really do encourage bringing the information, but probably best not to do the writing yourself. - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ τ ¢ 13:42, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Floydian, I would like to thank you for your suggestions and feedback. I am still pretty new to Wikipedia and learning more about it everyday. I have now updated my user page following the suggestions you made. Please let me know what you think. Your help is much appreciated and I will use your sugguestions for making edits in the future as well as posting some of my sources in the talk page. If you have any other pointers or suggestions please feel free to share. Thanks again. --Joe Fielder (talk) 19:20, 15 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Looks perfect. The only thing I can think of at the moment, is to forget everything you know about press releases, and then start writing. Strip the filler to the facts. For example, you added this to Hogg's Hollow recently:
The rehabilitation of Hogg’s Hollow Bridge is estimated to be an $86-million construction project. Barricade Traffic Services Inc. were in charge of traffic control. The safety needs of the traveling public and workers within the construction zone were met, with minimal disruption to commuters and commercial carriers. Work on the Hogg’s Hollow Bridge saw most of the lane closures required done at night to minimize congestion on Canada’s busiest section of highway.[4] The impact of delays on traffic from construction activities on this section of the highway would have been significant if it was not for the detailed construction staging plans and the planned mitigation of traffic impacts that were in place prior to the beginning of the bridge rehabilitation.[4] The expected completion date of the rehabilitation of Hogg’s Hollow Bridge is tentatively scheduled for 2012.[5]
This has a lot of filler that really adds little to a laymans understanding. On the other hand:
Work on the Hogg’s Hollow Bridge saw most of the lane closures required done at night to minimize disruption on Highway 401 and to improve the safety of both workers and drivers.[4] The impact of delays on traffic from construction activities on this section of the highway would have been significant had it not been staged gradually.[4] The expected completion date of the rehabilitation of Hogg’s Hollow Bridge is tentatively scheduled for 2012, at a planned cost of C$86,000,000.[5]
It adds little to know who planned the traffic coordination, or that it was to the specs of the MTO (obviously, being an MTO highway). Basically narrow it down to how you'd explain the concept to a 14 year-old. - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ τ ¢ 22:58, 15 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the example Floydian, I will keep that in mind. I am also not the only person making the edits so I will pass this information on as well. --Joe Fielder (talk) 12:09, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Morrison Hershfield PR

[edit]

I am glad my comments were useful. Assume you have looked at things like this on Google news. Since you were able to get photos from the firm, do you know if they have some sort of press coverage library? That might be a source of refs on past projects and awards (and things can be print only and still be used a refs here). Ruhrfisch ><>°° 03:24, 5 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think that those pages can be useful, but the article should rely as much as possible on independent, third-party sources. Please see WP:SELFPUB for use of self-published material. I think this would be OK as a ref for things like "in YEAR the firm opened a branch office in PLACE", but note that WP:V cautions that use of self-published material is OK only if the article is not based primarily on such sources. For things like awards, I would look carefully at the list and see what sources it lists - for example the first award listed links to a story that cites a magazine R&D Magazine, 2009 Lab of the Year Competition. Find that magazine and quote it. In general, awards are worth pointing out here if they are motable or made by a notable organization (so if I give myself the award as Wikipedian of the Year it is meaningless, but if the Wikimedia Foundation named me Best Editor Ever, that would be notable (and is never going to happen ;-) ).

Dear uploader: The media file you uploaded as File:Grouse.Mtn.Turbine3.jpg has been listed for speedy deletion because you selected a copyright license type implying some type of restricted use, such as for non-commercial use only, or for educational use only or for use on Wikipedia by permission. While it might seem reasonable to assume that such files can be freely used on Wikipedia, this is in fact not the case[1][2]. Please do not upload any more files with these restrictions on them, because images on Wikipedia need to be compatible with the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike or another free license, which allow anyone to use it for any purpose, commercial or non-commercial. See our non-free content guidelines for more more information.

If you created this media file and want to use it on Wikipedia, you may re-upload it (or amend the image description if it has not yet been deleted) and use the license {{cc-by-sa-3.0}} to license it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 license, or use {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. Note, if you did create this file, you may want to upload it to Wikimedia Commons, which will allow the image to be accessed by all Wikimedia Foundation projects (which include the various localized versions of Wikipedia)

If you did not create this media file, please understand that the vast majority of images found on the internet are not appropriate for Wikipedia. Most content on the internet is copyrighted and the creator of the image has exclusive rights to use it. Wikipedia respects the copyrights of others - do not upload images that violate others' copyrights. In certain limited cases, we may be able to use an image under a claim of fair use - if you are certain that fair use would apply here, you may choose one of the fair use tags from this list. If no fair use rationale applies, you may want to contact the copyright holder and request that they make the media available under a free license.

If you have any questions please ask at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you. --Addihockey10 e-mail 14:23, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, please don't re-upload these images. They are licensed on Flickr for "non-commercial use only", which is not a license we can use on Wikipedia. Fut.Perf. 15:02, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, thanks for your reply. Unfortunately we will need some kind of proof for this licensing agreement. There are basically two ways you can achieve this: you could forward the owner's licensing message to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia.org", or you could ask the owner of the Flickr account to change their Flickr license tag from cc-by-nc to cc-by-sa (a fully free license). A mail to permissions-en would also be necessary for the images you have sourced to your company. We will need some kind of proof you are in fact acting on their behalf. Hope you'll understand, – Fut.Perf. 15:42, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Here's a form that you can email in from a company email address to verify the images from Morrisson Hershfield. - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ τ ¢ 16:41, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

File source problem with File:Simcoe Tunnel.jpg

[edit]

Thank you for uploading File:Simcoe Tunnel.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4. If the image is copyrighted and non-free, the image will be deleted 48 hours after 19:58, 10 March 2011 (UTC) per speedy deletion criterion F7. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Armbrust WrestleMania XXVII Undertaker 19–0 19:58, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:Aberdeen Bridge Replacement.JPG

[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Aberdeen Bridge Replacement.JPG. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included.

Notification of automated file description generation

[edit]

Your upload of File:Carson F Morrison.jpg or contribution to its description is noted, and thanks (even if belatedly) for your contribution. In order to help make better use of the media, an attempt has been made by an automated process to identify and add certain information to the media's description page.

This notification is placed on your talk page because a bot has identified you either as the uploader of the file, or as a contributor to its metadata. It would be appreciated if you could carefully review the information the bot added. To opt out of these notifications, please follow the instructions here. Thanks!

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.
