[[George Vern Barnett]]

Hi. Nice job with GVB. Is this a portrait of him, or someone else named Vern Barnett?: http://nla.gov.au/nla.pic-an2383905-1 -- Ssilvers (talk) 03:08, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:GVBarnett.jpg

File:Copyright-problem.svg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to :File:GVBarnett.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ww2censor (talk) 04:46, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

:Hi. Where did you get the photo? If it was published before 1923, it is public domain and we can use the PD-US license. -- Ssilvers (talk) 06:05, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi Ssilver. Problem 1 is how do I answer your messages? Thanks for all the editing by the way. The picture is in possession of GVB's daughter and if it was taken in 1920 as she believes then it fits the public domain definition. That was my next question how do I fill in the form to use the picture! Hope you can help... Nswhistorian (talk) 23:19, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

:You can answer here, on my talk page, or on the talk page of any article that is being discussed. But here is fine. I'll try to add something to the photo file. What is the daughter's full name? Does she have an e-mail contact address where WikiMedia could contact her if they want to verify? -- Ssilvers (talk) 00:09, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

Hello Nswhistorian, thank you for your contributions. I noticed we were both working on the David Andrew Campbell page. If a mere anonymous IP (but an established editor) may be so bold, could you possibly use an edit summary, and/or mark small edits as m for minor? I believe you have 'check box' or similar for that setting. This template (below) will explain summaries better than I can:


File:Information_icon.svg Hi there. When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:
Edit summary text box

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field. If you are adding a section, please do not just keep the previous section's header in the Edit summary field – please fill in your new section's name instead. Thank you.

:There you go! I hope that helps. Happy Editing. {{=)}}--220.101.28.25 (talk) 06:33, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

Gee thanks anon.
