Image:Yellow.png
I noticed that you tagged Image:Yellow.png as public domain. However, I did not believe your argument that it was an "uncreative work". Thus I removed the tag.

But I am now aware that Image:Yellow.png is a duplicate of Image:50%.png, which is copyrighted but licensed through the GNU Free Documentation License. Thus I tagged it GFDL and redundant. --Kernigh 16:42, 31 January 2006 (UTC)


 * I zoomed in with an image viewer, and apparently these images are simple 9-pixel-by-9-pixel drawings of squares. You might be correct about PD; there appears to be nothing significantly creative except possibly the choice of color. --Kernigh 00:29, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Non-commercial use
While I appreciate your efforts to try and get copyright clearance for several images, I want to let you know that non-commercial use only limitations are not permitted on Wikibooks. There are several reasons for that, not the least of which is that it violates the terms of use for the GNU Free Document License.

You can get some more information about why non-commercial use is harmful elsewhere, but this is an issue that has been discussed openly and widely on many forums throughout Wikimedia projects. There are commercial ventures that do use this content, including ordinary Wikimedia users who simply want to charge for copying a bunch of CD's or DVDs full of Wikibook or Wikipedia content. Not an arm or a leg for doing that, just to take care of the costs of running the burner and taking their time to make the physical media. Or people who are trying to publish these books at even a nominal markup price.

If somebody is offering permission to copy images or other content, but is only willing to give a non-commercial license, we have to politely decline and apoligize for even taking their time. If you have any other questions about this, feel free to drop a line on my talk page. --Rob Horning 07:24, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

I emailed him back, but he hasn't responded yet. I think my email may have never arrived, so I'll email him again tonight. --Shanel 23:15, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Konstable. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Konstable~enwikibooks that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:20, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
