Hi, I noticed in Kalaallisut language you've added it to the [[Category:Languages of Denmark]] category. I'm not aware that the Greenlandic language would be spoken in Denmark - do you have any evidence for this? It may be true the other way round (Danish spoken by some people in Greenland). I'm happy to be proved wrong of course! Thanks -- munt fish 12:02, 2005 Mar 3 (UTC)
Hi... you made a comment on the M1911 Pistol image, that the current tag is in-appropriate. I disagree. No image is 'free' if it starts with copyright, and thus the CopyrightedFreeUseProvidedThat tag is not for free images as you state on the page, it is... well for copyrighted images. Copyright means that exclusive rights are by the author. The author can grant rights to whomever he want on any term that he wants – and that is exactly what this tag is made for. The image is copyrighted, but free for use provided that you blab blab blab bla... that is what this tag is for and exactly how it is used on that image. Btw I am the creator of the image. Twthmoses 04:08, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Copyleft is a form of copyright, in which most rights are specifically given away. Notice the first paragraph of that article specifically mentions modifications.
I've asked at Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags#CopyrightedFreeUseProvidedThat. That page gets a fair amount of attention. I've asked some related questions at Commons:Commons talk:Copyright tags#What is free content exactly?. dbenbenn | talk 05:33, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Hi,
I just noticed that you've added separate pages for many of the Danish municipalities, and I think that's great, but I wanted to let you know that the singular noun form of the word in English corresponding to the Danish kommune is 'municipality', not 'municipal', which is the adjective form. I've tried to make this correction for the page on Vejle municipality, but I wanted to let you know about the rest of them as well.
-- Dzhebi 00:51, 6 May 2005 (UTC)
According to my copy of Gyldendals Røde Ordbog -- Dansk/Engelsk, the noun kommune is translated as "municipality", while the adjective "municipal" is kommunal in Danish. Of course, then, kommunen would translate to "the municipality" and kommuner to "municipalities" (and kommunerne to "the municipalities"). Perhaps you are confused because kommune can be used in Danish compound words with the sense of "municipal", as in kommunebibliotek, "municipal library". But I assure you, as a native English speaker, that "municipal" in English is exclusively an adjective, and therefore "Vejle municipal" is grammatically incorrect. The correct translation of Vejle kommune is "Vejle Municipality" or "Municipality of Vejle".
-- Dzhebi 21:26, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
As far as I can see this category is redundant; the list at list of Prime Ministers of Denmark covers it, and is more informative. So before you add the category to more articles, I should tell you I am thinking of WP:TFD'ing it. Thue | talk 19:39, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Hallo Twthmoses, Since I take care of some flag related articles in the german speaking WP, I've read your very interesting arcticle Flag of Denmark. I've a question concerning the name Splitflag and Orlogsflag. Are these the danish names of this flags, or is it just the description in english? (I'm not sure because the word orlog is a obsolete term for war in german, which is very similar to danish in some points)
Grüße Achim
Hi, Do you have any references for this word in Slavic? I've had some weak Google confirmation but wonder if the actual langage can be pinpointed? Dlyons493 19:28, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
Hi, welcome to Wikipedia! The news report you removed from the Hans Island page also exists on Current events. Do you think it should be removed from there as well? Zoe 21:41, August 23, 2005 (UTC)

An article that you've edited before ( Vasco da Gama) is nominated for Article Improvement Drive. If you want go there and vote. Thanks. Gameiro 02:58, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for your attention to this article. I hope to find some math enthusiasts here that can 1] clean up the academic portion, both his student and professor efforts, and 2] make sense of the math/physics/geometry accomplishments so that they are a] credible to scientists and b] meaningful to a layman. If you can spread the word among them, great. Hope you enjoy the article -- he is a very interesting man (I used to work for him). paul klenk 21:12, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

Please advise your fax number so that I can send you material re the attempt to take hans island in August 1983 to my email address: jmo800@yahoo.com also- do you have any idea who I can contact in Copenhagen or what archive to go to to find out what frigate was in Thule harbour in August 1983? Many thanks, namsham
Good work. Could you add Swiss (Switzerland) Entomologists sometime please? Notafly
Many thanks. Have made some very necessary text changes at your suggestion. Best wishes from foggy Ireland. Notafly 09:06, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
Good work – thanks for tidying these up. Do you have any ideas for the Valley of the Kings article itself? I am going to see whether I can get it to FAC standard. Markh 19:56, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
Hi Twthmoses thanks for categorizing all the articles about Danish comedians, you're doing a great piece of work! --Snailwalker | talk 01:10, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

{Please stop deliberately introducing incorrect information into articles. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you.
Nice going Hi., you do realize that this is the wrong tag to apply on me, since I’m not adding any information, only removing your un-sourced and unverifiable insertions (going on 8 days now). If you think I’m a vandal there are other better tags to use. Of course we both know that you are only doing this cause I applied the tag to you and some of your cohorts of anonymous ip’s. You know what?, I’m gonna keep this tag here, as a reminder, in fact I’m goona make this little space a living record of you and your cohort of new accounts and anonymous ip’s, so I can keep a track on you. I’ll bet its gonna be long in the end. Twthmoses 12:27, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Danmark_flag_test_004.png. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).
The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are
open content,
public domain, and
fair use. Find the appropriate template in
Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}
.
Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator.

Thanks for uploading Image:Danmark flag test 001.png. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{ GFDL-self}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{ Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Shyam ( T/ C) 23:27, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Hello Twthmoses. I noticed that you are among the very few who has contributed to the article Red Bjørnene. So I believe that I should inform you that I have nominated that article for deletion. Please see Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Red_Bjørnene. Bertilvidet 19:09, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Hej Twthmoses! It's always good to see a Scandinavian editor around... I know one of your images has been put on IFD and you've made a comment about trademark law. The situation is rather complicated, unfortunately, and a bit confusing. Trademark has nothing to do with copyright: well, they are both part of intellectual property law, but TM does not affect (C). Similary, the commercial restrictions imposed by national or regional law do not the copyright status of an image. Therefore it is possible for there to be two images of a trademarked crest, where one is copyright (usually to the creator) and unfree, while the other is a "free" image (the creator has released the relevant rights). Like I said, it's a bit confusing! TheGrappler 23:13, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
Yes, but this is not about the difference between copyright and trademark, this is about whether its legal to keep these images on Commons. I have no problem with the upload getting deleted, just to get it out of the way; I have a problem with it getting replaced with an image that I believe is a direct copyright violation. This is why this image is gettting deleted, right? - replacing a "fair use /logo" image, with a "free" image.
According to acceptable licenses on Commons;
must not apply
This image has failed near all criteria for being on Commons, thus I cannot agree with that it replaces an image on Wiki, where it is allowed to be located. I’m aware that maybe some will argue that this is a derivative work, and the very artwork is made by a 3rd person thus it is free. But this is not a derivative work; it is the exact reproduction of the CoA that failed all the above criteria, thus that 3rd person that made it has zero right or authority to release it to free use. I’m also aware that there are a lot of other logos, symbols and CoA on commons that likewise completely fails above criteria’s, and that is why I personally refuse to upload to common, as I see it as a massive copyright infringement hole.

Thanks for your note. I plan to review all ISBN-13 articles tonight. Rich Farmbrough 10:53 31 August 2006 (GMT).
In future, please do not place content relating to the Principality of Tartupaluk in the Satire section of the Hans Island article without providing verification. Contrary to your characterizations, the only references you have posted thusfar indicate that Tartupalummiut independence is not satirical. We have had to alter your changes twice now. Tartupaluk
You are an evil little man. You vandalize my entries - I revert yours to original versions that you vandalized. I did not vandalize you entry - I saved other entries that you vandalized.
Hey, Tartupaluk is a legal state, even if an unrecognized one. Wikipedia talks about other unrecognized nations, why not Tartupaluk? What about the entries you made to the pages I recently reverted? I have a right to change them back, and anyway - where do you get your proof on these claims you make?
Okay - I will apolagize for deleting your articles, but I do not know what you mean by me being the same as those other people, because I am not. Please accept my apology. 142.59.159.55 13:59, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
Hello. Thank you for your recent edit to Geoffrey_Pernell. Your edit included one or more links to the page British, which is a disambiguation page. This type of page is intended to direct users to more specific topics. Ordinarily we try to avoid creating links to disambiguation pages, since it is preferable to link directly to the specific topic relevant to the context. You can help Wikipedia by revising the links you added to Geoffrey_Pernell to refer directly to the most relevant topic.

The image currently has the provision that it may not be modified, which makes it unfree content under our rules that require licenses to allow derivatives. Would you considering removing this provision? You'd still need to be credited as the author no matter how the image was used. Night Gyr ( talk/ Oy) 02:06, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Danske Forsvars logo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 03:36, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Erik VII seal 1398.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.
As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{ GFDL-self-no-disclaimers}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{ non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 16:38, 14 May 2007 (UTC).
