Image licenses that read "BlahBlahBlahBlah...."

Joe, a couple of the current image upload options end up with a license that reads "BlahBlahBlahBlahBlah....". Is it the intent that those options will someday be revised to some actual license? Or what? Milton Beychok 19:16, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Yes, probably. We should make a list of which options produce that result. I can probably do something about it after I get my thesis turned in this Friday. --Joe Quick 00:14, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Here are the file upload options that use "BlahBlahBlahBlahBlah...." as the license:

• Some other internet source that features re-usable media
• Some book, newspaper, or other print publication, as a scan or screen capture
• Somewhere else, but its copyright has expired, or I think it may have
• I am an author and need to make a fair use (fair dealing) claim
• I am an editor and need to make a fair use (fair dealing) claim

I think I found all of them but I may have missed some. Regards, Milton Beychok 06:30, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Joe, now that Stephen Ewen is back (thank goodness!), perhaps you could get together with him and get something done about those image file upload licensing options that read "BlahBlahBlahBlahBlah....". Those are sorely needed items. Regards, Milton Beychok 22:31, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

That's good news, I hadn't noticed him around yet. I actually just finished off my PhD applications and was planning to return to this in the next couple of days, so the timing is just about perfect. Now, I'm off to read your article on continuous distillation - I'll leave comments there. --Joe Quick 23:32, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

I agree with your suggestions for Continuous distillation and have implemented them. Thanks for taking the time to review the article. Milton Beychok 18:51, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

Joe, have you been able to make contact with Stephen Ewen about working on all those file upload license options that only read "BlahBlahBlahBlahBlah...."? If not, could you and Chris work together to solve that problem? Milton Beychok 22:13, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

brute force attack article approval

Joe, I have now scanned this article and am willing to support its approval if that is still needed. Let me know what I need to do, as I am not up on procedures re: approvals.Pat Palmer 23:15, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

Matt left a note for you on the article's talk page. All you need to do is add your name to the metadata template below Howard's and Milt's --Joe Quick 01:21, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Joe, way to go. I don't think we would have been able to get everyone together on that one without you pulling the strings. On the next one, I'm going to stay away until I hear from you... unless you need me for something... you can always email me, too. I think our only quark is that you come on after me... D. Matt Innis 00:12, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

Re

Joe, can you get some editors to take Clinical decision support system to the approval stage and start the approval process? Thanks. Supten Sarbadhikari 07:06, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

I'll see what I can do. This might be a good one for the three editor approach, since many people seem to have contributed in one way or another. --Joe Quick 01:42, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

Reply for editorial request

Hi Joe! Thank you for giving me the opportunity to edit the Waldo Peirce article. I am not competent to contribute to this article. My interest is in post World War II American art. Thank you again. (Marika Herskovic 16:03, 2 April 2009 (UTC))

Hi Joe! Thank you for your trust in me. I shall do my best. I have started an article just now. I will try to complete it in the coming days. Sincerely, (Marika Herskovic 19:02, 2 April 2009 (UTC))

Hi Joe! Could you direct me as to the reference formating. Thank you, (Marika Herskovic 19:35, 2 April 2009 (UTC))

copied to Marika's page Marika, perhaps we could benefit one another, and CZ, with an actual case study. I'd welcome some review of articles on pastel and charcoal (art), where I do have some inline citations that might be good examples. Your thoughts would be welcome on both using and citing specific commercial information; it's an interesting line to explain that different manufacturers' products have different properties, and when an example is useful without implying endorsement.

While the full citation mechanisms can be complex, the most basic way to do an inline citation (please look at this in page, not edit, mode, as I am using some escape sequences) is:

<ref> reference information</ref>

This will create an inline footnote. The contents of the citation will appear when you put:

<references /> separately, at the bottom of the page This will give single-column format

or

{{reflist|2}}, where 2 can be changed to the number of columns of endnotes you want displayed. Howard C. Berkowitz 22:30, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

Hi Joe! I started the article: New York School abstract expressionism. I will continue on another occasion. Sincerely (Marika Herskovic 23:56, 2 April 2009 (UTC))

new editor - thanks!

Hi Joe, thanks for your note to her! Yes, I had already noted her credentials but hadn't yet shifted my mind into gear on the subject -- thanks for doing so! Hayford Peirce 16:03, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

Matt Helm's birthday and signed articles

Yup, that's *much* better. It actually makes sense, hehe! Hayford Peirce 03:59, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

PS, I wonder, though, if the *other* 8 signed articles have similar problems? Hayford Peirce 04:01, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

Yes, I figured that it was probably something like that, just a mistake, I imagine, by whoever it was who created the link in the first place. I should probably have just straightened it out myself, but, on the other hand, this whole "signed articles" business has been contentious at various moments and I didn't want to stir up another hornet's nest. Thanks for the help! Hayford Peirce 15:03, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

Korematsu Reply

I think there may be a bit more to say in that last section about Korematsu in constitutional law, perhaps a paragraph or so about how it hasn't been invoked in recent extrajudicial detention cases. Also, the article could use some embellishment in the way of photos (perhaps one of Fred Korematsu), bibliography, etc. before it's approved. I'm a bit swamped with work this week, but I'll try to get on it soon. On your second question, I would consider being a politics editor. Shamira Gelbman 20:38, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Coherers

Joe, coherers do not belong to the area I typically work in. I can look into it to verify facts, compare it with other similar articles and to check that it is up to scratch, but this will take time and I can't guarantee that it will get approved any time soon though as this will entail quite a time investment. Cheers, Hendra I. Nurdin 23:38, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Approval of randomized controlled trial

Please remind me how I start the approval process. I reviewed the template, http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Template:Randomized_controlled_trial/Metadata, but I was not certain how to proceed. Thanks - Robert Badgett 13:17, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

Robert, you can take a look at the article about approving articles at http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/CZ:Approval_Process You will note that since you, an Editor in the field, have also been the primary Author of this particular article, you yourself will not be able to nominate it for the Approval process -- some other Editor in that Workgroup will have to do that. Best, Hayford Peirce 16:03, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

To be precise, you may nominate the article yourself but only if you find two other editors to also nominate. In practice, it has generally been easier to find one uninvolved editor.

On a tangent, now: The rules are somewhat vague when it comes to having one involved and one uninvolved editor but not a third. Technically, the uninvolved editor could do the whole thing without the involved one but the two of them together don't seem to be allowed to do so. We need to address that at some point. --Joe Quick 01:27, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

Image license: CC-BY 2.5

Hi Joe, didn't know how to handle this for Image:Scholarly-journal-map-journal.pone.0004803.g005-scale-0.75.png. Do you have any idea? Thanks! --Daniel Mietchen 13:12, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

How's that? --Joe Quick 13:37, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

Looks good, thanks! --Daniel Mietchen 16:20, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

Gasoline

Joe, I made a request for a small rewrite to the phase separation area of Gasoline. The article looks great to me, but it is primarily a Chemical Engineering and first nomination for approval should come from that group if we have another editor there. If not, I will nominate it after Milton addresses the small change I asked about. David E. Volk 15:40, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

There are 4 or 5 other chemical engineers in CZ, but so far they have been inactive. I have tried to reach out to each of them, but without much luck so far. Milton Beychok 17:09, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Maybe this would be a good article to draw their participation. If David nominates the article, then I'll contact each of them and ask if they want to join in on approval. That way, they don't need to do any great amount of work but they'll feel like they participated in an important task. Could you send me names via the email user feature, Milton? Thanks. --Joe Quick 22:29, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Just go to Category:Chemical Engineering Subgroup and click on members. Thanks for all your help. Milton Beychok 23:08, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Just had a look. None of them are editors in the Engineering or Chemistry Workgroups, so I can't invite them to add their names to the nomination after all. We can still invite them to help get the article ready or we can choose another article that is close to approval and invite them to help make the final adjustments. What do you think? --Joe Quick 15:08, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

I would say that asking them to work on other articles would be best as a starter for them. Might not be as "imposing" as working on an article nominated for approval. As for the Gasoline article, you might ask Anthony Argyrou to sign on as a nominator since he has already reviewed the article (see Talk:Gasoline). Milton Beychok 15:46, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

Done! --Joe Quick 04:50, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
