Linking to copyright works

It's okay to link to copyright works, but not if the link is to a copyvio version of the material. The YourTube material about Heydrich is the property of The History Channel, but it was not uploaded there by them but by someone else, and hence is a copyright violation. Please see WP:COPYLINK for more information on this topic. Thanks, -- Diannaa (talk) 21:37, 18 June 2015 (UTC)

Diannaa, to be honest, I was well aware the link to the YouTube video was a copyright violation, but decided to add it anyway because I felt the specific attribution would make the article better, and also because the video was uploaded in 2013 and yet no takedown notice has been given to YouTube, meaning The History Channel properly didn't deem this small clip to be of any relevance or real importance. Jonas Vinther • (speak to me!) 16:37, 19 June 2015 (UTC)
I understand your thinking, but we have to take it down anyway. Sorry, -- Diannaa (talk) 16:49, 19 June 2015 (UTC)
I know. Admire your diligence. Best, Jonas Vinther • (speak to me!) 16:56, 19 June 2015 (UTC)

List of people killed or wounded in the 20 July plot

I left a few comments MisterBee1966 (talk) 07:07, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

MisterBee1966, thank you very much! All very useful comments, will implement them sofort :) Jonas Vinther • (Click here to collect your price!) 14:13, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
Moved to support, you may wish to address the missing alt text issue. I also still think that the article should start with a few sentences addressing the main topic of the article first. But this is your call MisterBee1966 (talk) 14:46, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
Thanks for that, although what does "alt text issue" refer to in plain English? Jonas Vinther • (Click here to collect your price!) 14:48, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
I will add an example and you need to do the same for every image in the article. MisterBee1966 (talk) 14:52, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
Have a look at Hermann Fegelein's image. It now includes the mandated alt text MisterBee1966 (talk) 14:56, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
I understand now. That being said, why in the world is alt text wanted on any articles? What good are they doing? Jonas Vinther • (Click here to collect your price!) 14:59, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
Alt text is a brief narrative which should help the visually impaired understand the article better. It is written for automated screen readers. Wikipedia requires this for featured articles and lists because higher rated articles must follow the requirements for barrier free content. MisterBee1966 (talk) 15:02, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

What was that all about, "This candidate has been withdrawn" ??? The list was making good progress until just now! Why did you withdraw prematurely? MisterBee1966 (talk) 13:31, 29 June 2015 (UTC)

I'm done trying to promote list to featured status, my time is better spent elsewhere. Jonas Vinther • (Click here to collect your price!) 15:08, 29 June 2015 (UTC)
I am sorry to see this happen; it did not need much more, really. Anyway, Jonas, try to relax and reflect. Kierzek (talk) 19:21, 29 June 2015 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Leni Riefenstahl

GA Cup

WikiProject Good Articles's 2015 GA Cup - June 2015

Welcome to the GA Cup! In less than 72 hours, the competition will begin! Before you all start reviewing nominations and reassessments we want to make sure you understand the following:

  • This is a friendly competition so we don't want any cheating/breaking of the rules. However, if you do believe someone is going against the rules, notify the judges. All the rules are listed here.
  • If you are a new editor or new to reviewing Good article nominations, it is imperative that you read the 4 essays/guides listed under FAQ #4. If you do not understand something, ask a judge for clarification ASAP!
  • The competition is not entirely about who can review the most nominations. Per the "Scoring" page, there is different criteria in which you can earn more points. Theoretically, you could review 10 nominations and have 80 points but another user could have reviewed 5 nominations and have 100 points. Yes, we want you to review as many nominations as you can as this will greatly increase the number of points you earn, but you must also keep in mind that every single review will be looked over by a judge. If we find that you are "rubber-stamping" (in other words, the review is not complete but you still passed/failed the article) you may be disqualified without warning. The same applies with reassessments. If you just say that the article should be delisted or kept with no explanation, points will not be awarded.
  • Remember, to submit Good article reviews and reassessments on your submissions page (Some of you have not created your submissions page yet. Only reviews/reassessments submitted on your submissions page can earn points. If you participated in the 2014-2015 GA Cup, you still need to re-create your submissions page.). Detailed instructions on how to submit reviews and reassessments can be found under the "Submissions" page. Ask a judge if you need clarification.

Also, rather than creating a long list on what to remember, make sure you have read the "Scoring", "Submissions", and "FAQ" pages.

Now some of you are probably wondering how on earth the rounds will work.

The rounds will work in a similar fashion as the previous competition, with the exception of the first round. Round 1 will have everyone compete in one big pool. Depending on the final number of participants after sign-ups close, a to-be-determined number of participants will move on (highest scorers will move on) to Round 2. We guarantee that the top 15 will move on (this number may change), so make sure you aim for those top positions! Moving on to Round 2, participants will be split into pools. The pools will be determined by a computer program that places participants by random. More details regarding Round 2 will be sent out at the end of Round 1.

It is important to note that the GA Cup will run on UTC time, so make sure you know what time that is for where you live! On that note, the GA Cup will start on July 1 at 0:00:01 UTC; Round 1 will end on July 29 at 23:59:59 UTC; Round 2 will commence on August 1 at 0:00:01 UTC. All reviews must be started after or on the start time of the round. If you qualify for Round 2 but do not complete a review before the end of Round 1, the review can be carried over to Round 2; however that review will not count for Round 1. Prior to the start of the the second round, participants who qualify to move on will be notified.

Finally, if you know anyone else that might be interesting in participating, let them know! Sign-ups close on July 15 so there is still plenty of time to join in on the action!

If you have any further questions, contact one of the judges or leave a message here.

After sign-ups close, check the Pools page as we will post the exact number of participants that will move on to the next round. Because this number will be determined past the halfway mark of Round 1, we encourage you to aim to be in the top 15 as the top 15 at the end of the round are guaranteed to move on.

Cheers from 3family6, Dom497, Figureskatingfan, Jaguar and MrWooHoo.

Proposed deletion of Wigger

The article Wigger has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Article appears to be coat rack and synthesis. Renominating since no noticeable improvement since last AfD in 2010

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Ideology of the SS

Hi Jonas - please look at my addition to the article - paying particular attention to the citations number 24-25 taken from Racial Science in Hitler's New Europe, 1938-1945. Since I am not sure how to cite an author's chapter within a book, it might need to be reworked for 'harv' citation continuity. Thanks. --Obenritter (talk) 23:29, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

Obenritter, cheers for that addition. As you guess correctly, I was on vacation, but I'm back now (a little early). While on vacation, I thought of a few last things I would like to add myself before the GA-nom. Jonas Vinther • (Click here to collect your price!) 09:21, 11 July 2015 (UTC)
No prob. Diannaa cleaned up my citation concerns. Übrigens...nice work overall. --Obenritter (talk) 16:32, 11 July 2015 (UTC)
Jonas - you may want to consider an additional segment for this Wiki page: (1) The ideological importance of Gleichschaltung across the spectrum of Nazi society and the major role the SS played; ie. the use of propaganda by or about the SS to indoctrinate the Nazi people so they'd be properly gleichgeschaltet. Falls nicht, es ist doch angemessen und zureichend wie es schon erscheint. Quick question - as a native speaker of Danish, is German easier to read for you or English?
Obenritter, I just got home from a long Familientreffen and only intend to do some minor edits before calling it a night, but I'll be sure to run this by my friend GeneralizationsAreBad, who is also actively editing the article in preparation for the GA-review. Regarding what language is easiest for me to read - English, definitely. As my user page reads, English is my best language.

Political userbox

I totally understand and appreciate your concern. There is a big note here about it being polemical and I thought about it before. I was originally (as)ce(p)tic about userboxes ([1]); I've pondered and I thought it would be of no harm having some anime-related ([2]); then I've added a bit more ([3]); then I've thought I should keep it simpler ([4]). People can identify as capitalist, fascist, neo-fascist, Stalinist, Maoist, anarchist, anti-communist, anti-feminist... So communist is just another political view... For personal attacks, I don't think it'll gonna happen because I usually don't edit on political subjects. Anyway, I can receive personal attacks for anything... for being Brazilian, for being atheist, for being feminist. So no worry.... After all, if someone attacks me, it's them that are disrespecting the rules. Cheers, Gabriel Yuji (talk) 22:57, 13 July 2015 (UTC)

I did all that discourse above, but in the end I decided to agree with you... Well, I guess political opinions are nice since people can see that anyone (really, anyone!) can edit on Wikipedia... but you are right... it's unnecessary. I think objectivity is the best thing on Wikipedia, so I've kept only the ones that are objectively useful here... Anyway, it's in my history; so I don't know if it will make any difference at all... People saw it will continue to know my political position even after the exclusion of it from my userpage. Gabriel Yuji (talk) 01:26, 14 July 2015 (UTC)
Gabriel Yuji, I thought the same thing, but I still think it's best this way; new editors won't look at your user page history unless they are looking for something specific. At the end of the day, it's unnecessary (like you said). I can see the purpose of adding userboxes like "this user has made this many edits", "this user can help you translate", "this user joined Wikipedia one year ago" etc. Political userboxes might be a step in the wrong direction. Best, Jonas Vinther • (Click here to collect your price!) 08:29, 14 July 2015 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Johnny Depp dressed up as the Mad Hatter in the 2010 film "Alice in Wonderland".jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Johnny Depp dressed up as the Mad Hatter in the 2010 film "Alice in Wonderland".jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
  2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 10:16, 16 July 2015 (UTC)

Changes query

Jonas: is that you making changes under the ip address on Erhard Heiden and Julius Schreck? Kierzek (talk) 23:14, 16 July 2015 (UTC)

Definitely not, Kierzek. In fact, I think we should revert those edits made to Erhard Heiden and Julius Schreck, seems most irrelevant if not counterproductive. Jonas Vinther • (Click here to collect your price!) 23:25, 16 July 2015 (UTC)
Jonas, sorry, no offense intended; I did not think it was you, but since it involved basically a minor series of changes (which are not that bad but better for the general reader as they were, so to speak), I thought I would ask before reverting. I know there have been at least two times I recall, over the years, where I edited when signed out and did not realize it before saving the edit made. I will take care of them. Kierzek (talk) 00:11, 17 July 2015 (UTC)
No offense taken, Kierzek. :) I agree, always best to ask first to avoid potential conflicts. I also recall a few incidents where I forgot to log in before editing and only noticed when someone reminded me. Cheers, Jonas Vinther • (Click here to collect your price!) 00:21, 17 July 2015 (UTC)
