Wikibooks:Requests for permissions/Artix Kreiger

(Reviewer)
I would like Reviewer. I think I meet the requirements for it. Artix Kreiger (discuss • contribs) 20:10, 9 November 2017 (UTC)

 * wait, I don't get it. Why was I auto-promoted just now? I see the requirements and it says 8 edits at least 2 days apart form each other. I think my edits would have been achieved a few days ago. Artix Kreiger (discuss • contribs) 20:15, 9 November 2017 (UTC)
 * There are other requirements. Also, it doesn't happen the second that the eighth edit occurred but requires some kind of batch process to run later. QuiteUnusual (discuss • contribs) 13:16, 13 November 2017 (UTC)

(Uploader + Importer)
HI, This might be a little unvoncentional since I am requesting 2 userrights. I am requesting both for distinct reasons. Uploader is requested so that I can upload items for the Lord of the Rings. None of the books are in public domain, thus they are incompatible with Commons and are not allowed to be uploaded there. Specifically, I am requesting to upload the cover art for the books and the Hobbit, their corresponding films, and multiple screenshots from the films. This is so I can complement the books with photos so readers can identify them with the books and as primary identification. This applies to the Inheritance Cycle books I have been writing in my userspace. I plan on moving them to mainspace after I have completed more than 50% of the articles for a complete book.

As for importer, I plan on importing multiple bits of knowledge from multiple wikis, name English Wikipedia and Wikiversity. Namely, I will first start with v:Photosynthesis and proceed to biology pages in v:Category:Biochemistry/Lectures then, move v:Category:Completed Resources. I also will work on translating from fr:Histoire de France, a book in French Wikibooks that centers on the history of France. Those are lacking and I would like to complete those tasks. If those requests are ok, then I would be honoured. If 1, ok. If none, then I will understand. Thank you. Artix Kreiger (discuss • contribs) 03:50, 15 January 2018 (UTC)


 * Uploader:
 * The stated images are copyright Warner Brothers, and they have lots of lawyers. It could be very expensive for WB to prove fair use. My opposition to this request is based on Artix' not seeing the risk/reward balance. Chazz (talk) 04:33, 15 January 2018 (UTC)


 * Importer:
 * Weak . If the specified articles can be successfully melded into a book, more power to it, but there could be a lot of work involved. Chazz (talk) 04:33, 15 January 2018 (UTC)


 * , wait, are you saying Warner Brothers will sue WMF for that? I don't want to go too far with usage of copyrighted material beyond fair use, but I was hoping to user a bit of items. For the book, I was gonna use the same file currently used on Enwiki. Then use 1, or maybe 2, image per film. Maybe I should have clarified that.

 * I'm saying they could, and it's an avoidable concern. It's certainly Fair Use, but that has not stopped Big Media in the past... WMF has escaped so far, but that's not a guarantee. It's something we've been very careful about in the Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter. Chazz (talk) 05:31, 15 January 2018 (UTC)
 * I don't see the need to upload "multiple screenshots from the films". If you want to illustrate a book about the Lord of The Rings the book then there is plenty of other media available and you could certainly create your own. It wouldn't meet the fair use test as it isn't necessary to understand the book to have any illustrations (the original book didn't), certainly not pictures from a film and certainly not multiple pictures of that film.

 * oh ok. I looked online for information. It seems that the first edition didn't have one. You're right. Perhaps I should retract my request for uploader then. (still want importer). Artix Kreiger (discuss • contribs) 14:43, 15 January 2018 (UTC)
