License tagging for Image:Prezziecondizioni.jpg
editThanks for uploading Image:Prezziecondizioni.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:
This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 16:03, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Dutch and Flemish painting
editHi Vlad, you've been doing a lot of work on Flemish and Belgian painters which is great. You also made a template, something I planned on doing as well, but you've beasten me to it. A few remarks:
- I hate to see Belgian painting taken together with Flemish painting. Flanders before 1648 has little or nothing to do with the country Belgium. In painting, there's a gap of two centuries between the last (significant) "Flemish" painter and the first "Belgian" painter. So I would drop the Belgian painter list from the "History of Dutch and Flemish painting" template.
- I don't think you can classify Early Netherlandish painting as "Early Renaissance". You definitely need a source for it. The two sources we have use "Early Netherlandish painting" and "Late Gothic" as designations, so you can't put this in the template under "Early Renaissance". It bugs me that in so many Renaissance-related articles here, Van Eyck is given as an example of Renaissance painting. This is very contested, I intend to replace him everywhere by maybe Breughel, who is undisputedly a Renaissance figure.
- Dutch Baroque ("Golden Age", 1584 – 1702). We have to use the actual article names in the template. If you think this style should be called "Dutch Baroque", you have to discuss this on the article's talk page and the article has to be renamed. If you think, or have a source, that "Dutch Baroque 1584-1702" makes sense, you should create an article under Dutch Baroque. However, the difference between Rubens and the Dutch Golden Age painters is so big that I don't think it makes sense to put them under the same topic in the template.
Most of this is my own opinion, feel free to react. But in general, you cannot go and write this history on your own, sources are needed - the more the better. Piet | Talk 07:23, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah, I intend to help out a bit if I find time. You're doing good work but I thought I'd better make these points now. I was thinking of creating a Wikiproject for Flanders to get some people together and to construct some guidelines, because until now it's been mostly efforts by lonely people.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:LouiseBrooks3.jpg)
editThanks for uploading Image:LouiseBrooks3.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 04:59, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi Vlad b, that's an interesting article you wrote. I was wondering, do you think it would be worth putting the bit about Hikonyan's impact on tourism in the opening sentence? I think something "Hikonyan (ひこにゃん?) is a mascot created by the city government of Hikone, Japan and has been attributed with boosting tourism by 17.4 billion yen" really grabs the reader. It's a shame to leave the most interesting part – and arguably what makes the mascot notable – until the very end. Nev1 (talk) 18:44, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
Hi Nev1 - I actually based the article on a similar one on Kumamon, who is an even more popular mascot. I think since the article is a only a stub for now, it's OK to leave the revenue invormation information where it is, but when it's expanded, the opening sentence can be changed. Vlad b
- That's fair enough. And wow, that's an incredibly successful mascot. Nev1 (talk) 18:59, 12 December 2013 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Sargent House Museum.jpg
editThanks for uploading File:Sargent House Museum.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the file description page and add the text
{{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}}
below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing<your reason>
with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable. - On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy.

Main Page appearance: Early Netherlandish painting
editThis is a note to let the main editors of Early Netherlandish painting know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on March 11, 2014. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask Bencherlite (talk · contribs). You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/March 11, 2014. If it needs tweaking, or if it needs rewording to match improvements to the article between now and its main page appearance, please edit it, following the instructions at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. The blurb as it stands now is below:
Early Netherlandish painting refers to the work of artists active in the Burgundian Netherlands during the 15th- and 16th-century Northern Renaissance. Their output follows the International Gothic style and begins approximately with Robert Campin and Jan van Eyck in the early 1420s, and lasts at least until the death of Gerard David in 1523. It represents the culmination of the northern European medieval artistic heritage. Early Netherlandish painting occurred during the height of Burgundian influence in Europe, when the Low Countries were renowned for high end crafts and luxury goods. The major figures include Campin, van Eyck, Rogier van der Weyden, Dieric Bouts, Petrus Christus, Hans Memling, Hugo van der Goes and Hieronymus Bosch. They made significant advances in natural representation and illusionism, and typically incorporate complex iconography. Their subjects were usually religious scenes or small portraits (Portrait of a Lady by van der Weyden pictured). The painted works are generally oil on panel, either as single works or more often complex altarpieces. The era is further noted for its sculpture, tapestries, illuminated manuscripts, stained glass and carved retables. (Full article...)
