Wikibooks:Requests for permissions/Geofferybard

+Importer/Uploader
I would like to get a collaborative project on the Evaluation of Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant in the Aftermath of Fukushima. This would require bringing up numerous pages and then editing them down and reformatting them. My role would be to provide a structure and encourage mass participation. This topic is before the Board in three counties in California and I am hoping that I will be able to attract contributors. I have other UID's disclosed to Arbcom and would be happy to disclose them to you preferably via email and created others. I found certain other users to be troublesome and obnoxious and prefered to quasi vanish into this UID in my own name and nobody gives me more hassle than I can take in stride. I am willing to associate my name with my writing and if you google around it will be clear who I am and that I take responsibility for my writings. I am willing to provide snail mail via email, references, whatever else may be appropriate. Obviously, importer privileges are subject to revocation and it goes without saying it would be easier for me not to have to do all of that work myself but simply to request the uploads. I am willing to take this project on now because the issue is hot at this time but a month from now I know I won't feel that I will have the time and motivation to create such a challenging wikibook. Thus, I urge you to expedite the evaluation so I can get the book off the press while the iron is hot and I am keen for the job. Thank you in advance, whatever your decision might be.

 * Upload is for fair use image and the topic of your book doesn't sound like it will be necessary to use fair use images (i.e., copyrighted material) or that it would be possible to justify fair use. Is there a reason why you think you will need to use copyright material? For import, where are you planning on importing from? The import tool doesn't work for all projects, so the source of your material will determine whether you can make use of it or not. QU TalkQu 08:14, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Ooo[s/ Sorry, thought I had indicated The source primarily would be the wikipedia articels on related topics. As for uploader, I have no intention of using copyrighted material without permissions but I do have photographs of my own and ones which are public domain, wikicommons or for which permission may be available. My primary interest is in diagrams and text so that I can provide a venue for collaborative study of the Diablo Canyon Power Plant relicensing issue which is pending an NRC presentation June 2. I would like to have a servicable book roughed out by then. Thanks for your attention to this request and for expediting insofar as is consistent with procedures. Note that I have requests for import here: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Wikibooks:Requests_for_import#Diablo_Canyon_.28Power_Plant.29_at_Wikipedia
 * Note from this link that I am probably one of the most active editor on the wikipedia site at this time, anyway. Please consider the urgency of the Diablo project. Thanks. Geofferybard (discuss • contribs) 03:18, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
 * By default, our upload link will take you to the Commons. Any images hosted there are directly usable here as if they were hosted here.  The upload priv here at en.wb is for those images that the Commons will not host but which we do allow, and fair use is pretty much the only category of images that fits that bill.  --Jomegat (discuss • contribs) 05:53, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Thank you. My urgent priority is not upload rather import, for the Diablo Book, linked from my user page. Unfortunately, "library is closed" so I am now offline for 24 hours. Please check my import requests, and you will see why it would probably just be easier to do the job myself. It is time sensitive, also, because of local and national conditions post-Fukushima.

 * ✅ for Importer. Thanks. QU TalkQu 08:07, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
 * And I thank you, with thoughts of the old adage, be careful what you pray for, as you may indeed obtain it, rueing the day you wook on such larger bite than thou canst indeed chew...Only Joking, of course.Geofferybard (discuss • contribs) 20:18, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
