Being bold is important in Wikipedia

Article Evaluation
Berkeley, California --> article for my PE org area

There's not much in-depth information about the homelessness subsection here. But that's also because it's under demographics so they only have the estimated amount of homeless people in Berkeley. This will be the main article I'd like to add on and talk about the mental/physical/emotional health of homeless people in Berkeley. But should I create a new section called homelessness and under that section, I can put mental/physical/emotional health? And I can suggest for them to remove the subsection "homelessness" but just move their data of "In 2015, an estimated 834-1200 people were homeless in Berkeley" into the general demographics. So I'm not eliminating anything but just moving informations around since they only have one line under Homelessness. I am not quite confident in finding of good scholarly articles that's specifically for Berkeley Homelessness though since it might be too specific but I'm still on a hunt so hopefully it will be okay.

This article page has a pretty good overview of history of Berkeley and they did briefly mentioned about People's Park. Originally for the miniR assignment, I wanted to investigate the history of homelessness in Berkeley since the 1960's as I thought that it would be more revealing to begin with the failure of People's Park. I think I can add on to the history section by further elaborating more about People's Park that's a main contributor for homelessness in Berkeley. I think I might actually find good scholarly articles on this topic.

This article has been a part of 3 WikiProjects (San Francisco/Bay Area, Cities, & United States) and it's rated as C-class for all of them. There's not much ongoing conversations about how to represent this topic. Each facts are referenced approproately/reliably and infos are mostly up to date except for the demographics/climate (they have 2010 data but they also have a brief 2016 data). I have also checked a few citations and the links worked. The sources I checked supported the claims in article. In my opinion, the article is pretty much informative/neutral but there are some improvements that can definitely be made.

Homelessness in the United States --> article for my PE org sector

Everything in this article is relevant to the article topic and they organized it by states. Some of the states definitely have way more information than other states like California and Rhode Island. Since my main focus is Homelessness in Berkeley, California perhaps I can add Berkeley under California. They only have Los Angeles and San Francisco under California.

Homelessness is only organized by states but they can definitely add more evaluations such as if there's any common causes/similarities between the states' homelessness population. This is a good brief neutral overview & exhaustive list by states so I guess they didn't really go too much into depth with everything about homelessness in that specific states.

There's nothing on the Talk page, no conversations going on of any kind, it is not part of any WikiProjects and there's no ratings. I checked a few citations and they did work. The sources I checked supports the claims in the article and the facts are reference appropriately. Informations are pretty much up to date as 2016 is pretty recent.

UPDATE NOTE: Checked October 5th and they completely changed the format of this article. It's now rated B-class and has more in-depth info. They didn't erase the previous info on the article though, they just linked it to another wikipedia article and named it as "Homelessness in the United States by state"

This has a brief overview of history including one after World War II about homelessness in Berkeley that I can take. There's not a lot from this but there's still useful information I can use.

This has a good enough information that I can include under the Health section. Some I've already added during Week 6 and they still haven't taken it off yet so maybe I can just expand on those also.

They have brief sections about demographic and situational variables in relation to urban homelessness. I can also include this info as part of the history for homelessness.

They have substance abuse, mental illness and physical health problems in relation to homelessness that I can definitely add more under the health section

This is from the same book as the previous one but just a different chapter and have sections such as "general health" of homeless people and have sections such as health care, and lack of housing as a chronic stressor.

This is a study done by researchers who concluded that there's more homeless people who actually work than we thought. I can include this not under the health section but maybe on the introductory part of the wikipedia article.

What to put on articles (Week 6)
Homelessness in the United States --> Effects of Homelessness--> Health

There is a bidirectional relationship between homelessness and poor health. Health conditions, such as substance abuse and mental illness, can increase people's susceptibility to homelessness. Conversely, homelessness can further cause health issues as they come with constant exposure to environmental threat.(page 106 of poverty n health)

Berkeley, California --> Demographics --> Homelessness

About half of these numbers are deinstitutionalized mentally ill people (from Affordable housing, homelessness, and mental health: What heath care policy needs to address journal)

Summarizing and Synthesizing
For Berkeley, California:

In the decade following World War II and by the 1950s, America, and California in particular, had become a car-oriented society. This aspect of American culture is reflected in the architecture and resource types of the contemporary period. The abandonment of urban downtown environs like Berkeley’s Shattuck Avenue corridor led to an increasingly suburban population in both the Bay Area and the United States.

Events resulted in pay reductions, job layoffs, bankruptcies, and skyrocketing foreclosures, which have plunged many families and individuals into severe economic hardship, particularly those living in low-income communities. As such, deepening poverty is inextricably linked with rising levels of homelessness for many Americans. Still, the vast majority of homeless persons in the United States are those who suffer from mental health issues.

In Berkeley, California, on any given night there are 1,000 to 1,200 people sleeping on the streets, half of whom were deinstitutionalized mentally ill people. Moreover, while "dumping" patients out of hospitals saves mental health systems funding, it increases the overall cost to taxpayers by shifting care to more expensive jails and prisons. Poor health is not just a random phenomenon among the homeless, and the hierarchy among demographic and situational variables undermine the major contribution of unemployment to poor health.

For Homelessness in the United States:

The homeless suffer from disproportionately high rates of polysubstance abuse, mental illness, physical health problems and legal issues/barriers in attaining employment. Lack of health insurance and the multiple exigencies of the homeless condition inhibit many homeless persons from receiving care.

Homelessness is an independent risk factor for deaths from specific causes. The condition of homelessness is a highly stressful social situation that involves significant daily struggles and is usually preceded or accompanied by stressful life events. Indeed, homelessness exacts a heavy toll on individuals and the longer individuals experience homelessness, the more likely they are to experience poor health and be at higher risk for premature death. Certain health conditions, such as substance use and mental illness, may heighten a person's susceptibility to homelessness. Conversely, homelessness can cause or exacerbate poor health through exposure to the hazards of violence, poor nutrition, substandard living conditions, and communicable diseases. When asked, most homeless individuals will mention concerns about their feet, teeth, or eyesight as their top health priorities, speaking to the centrality of physical mobility, nutrition, and vision to daily survival on the streets. However, a large body of evidence has demonstrated that the health problems of homeless people extend far beyond these domains of immediate concern.

While a surprisingly large number of homeless people work, few homeless persons are able to generate significant earnings from employment alone. Physical health problems that limit work or daily activities, in particular, are barriers to employment. Drug and alcohol abuse and dependence are positively associated with lower work level but are negatively related to higher work level. Program participation is quite low relative to eligibility. Those with physical health problems are substantially more likely than those with mental health problems to be in the more generous disability programs. Substance use disorders are also a barrier to participation in disability programs. Rates of participation in government programs are low, and people with major mental disorders have especially low participation rate in disability programs. The low rates of participation, particularly in the disability programs, suggest the need for continued research in improving access to income support programs among eligible homeless populations.

Summarizing and Synthesizing - Expanded/Edited (week 9)
For Berkeley, California:

Although the 1920s were a period of tremendous material growth, the most dramatic event of the decade in Berkeley was a great natural disaster. In 1923, a fire began in Wildcat Canyon, in what is today Tilden Park. The fire continued burning and even though the conflagration resulted in no deaths or serious injuries, it destroyed 584 buildings and damaged more than 30 others. The total economic loss was about ten million dollars and approximately 4,000 people were left homeless.

This aspect of American culture is reflected in the architecture and resource types of the contemporary period.

As such, deepening poverty is inextricably linked with rising levels of homelessness for many Americans. Still, the vast majority of homeless persons in the United States are those who suffer from mental health issues.

In the 60s, Telegraph Avenue street people were often young adventurers testing the frontiers of the countercultural experience. By the 80s, street people were more likely to be impoverished and homeless, sometimes plagued by drug and acohol abuse. In the mid-80s, restless young African Americans hung out on the Avenue, and in the 90s, young, homeless whites established themselves in the area.

In Berkeley, California, on any given night there are 1,000 to 1,200 people sleeping on the streets, half of whom were deinstitutionalized mentally ill people. Moreover, while "dumping" patients out of hospitals saves mental health systems funding, it increases the overall cost to taxpayers by shifting care to more expensive jails and prisons.

Final Updated Scholarly Sources
Berkeley, California:

1. "Affordable housing, homelessness, and mental health: What heath care policy needs to address.." The Free Library. 2015 Southern Public Administration Education Foundation, Inc. 19 Oct. 2017

→ This source focuses more on discussing about the problems of inadequate healthcare for homeless people and the political-economic difficulty of providing adequate housing for low-income persons and how this is a policy problem that needs to be given focus and attention in the ACA. They also talked about the fact that mental health issues is still one of the leading causes of homelessness. They have statistics about Berkeley as an example and that about half of these numbers are mentally-ill people. I only included the latter fact as Kathy found a different source for the statistics that she included on the article.

2. Don Mitchell (1995) The End of Public Space?People's Park, Definitions of thePublic, and Democracy, Annals of the Association of American Geographers, 85:1, 108-133

→ This article talked about the importance of public spaces especially for those who don’t have a permanent home. They talked about People’s Park as one of their main examples and how theres been arguments whether or not they should build something at People’s Park or leave it as it is (a safe haven for homeless people). Either way, it doesn’t erases the fact that People’s Park has been recognized as a refuge for homeless people since it’s founding and this is what I included on my paragraph.

3. Quigley, John M., et al. Homelessness in California. Public Policy Institute of California, 2001.

→ This source included information about the rapidly rising homelessness in the 80’s and that in California, homelessness might be substantially reduced with modest policy changes attacking the problem in the most obvious way: by adding to the stock of adequate housing accessible to the poor. They included some conflicting arguments as to what exactly caused the rapid rise of homelessness (is it the personal attributes of the homeless? policy? rent?). All sides, however, did include the fact that large-scale deinstitutionalization of the mentally ill in the last quarter of the 20th century coincided with growth in the number of public shelters and increased visibility of the homeless (and this is what I included on my paragraph).

4. "Shattuck Avenue: Commercial Corridor Historic Context and Survey". City of Berkeley. Retrieved October 5, 2017.

→ This source is from the Department of Planning and Development in city of Berkeley which included facts about the homeless population in Telegraph Avenue that I also cited in my paragraph.

5. Wollenberg, Charles. Berkeley: a City in History. University of California Press, 2008.

→ This was a very helpful source as they dived into the evolution of what drove people to homelessness in Berkeley. They included historical backgrounds such as the fire in Wildcat Canyon. 1920’s is the earliest cutoff period where I can find information about Berkeley homelessness and this is where I found it.

6. BOSS organization website

→ This is just my organization’s website where I found some history as to how BOSS started and became an organization. Included this fact for my last sentence under history subsection.

Homelessness in the United States:

1. "Affordable housing, homelessness, and mental health: What heath care policy needs to address.." The Free Library. 2015 Southern Public Administration Education Foundation, Inc. 26 Oct. 2017

→ This is the same source I used earlier for Berkeley. They did have an example for Berkeley but they also talked about homelessness and mental illness in general. Other than the fact that people with disabilities such as mental disorder and how they’re more likely to become homeless than the general population, they included the fact that rates of participation in government programs are low, and people with major mental disorders have especially low participation rate in disability programs (this is what I included on my paragraph).

2. Avery, Jacob. “Chapter 8.” Poverty and Health: A Crisis among America's Most Vulnerable, Praeger, 2013.

→ This is Chapter 8 of the entire book and they talked about major findings/relation between homelessness and health. They listed out how there’s a bidirectional relationship between homelessness and health. Being exposed to environmental threat cause further health issues and being mentally ill/having other health issues (substance abuse, etc) also increases people’s chances of being homeless (this is what I included on my paragraph, I cited the bidirectional relationship using a different source)

3. Baggett, Travis P, and Darlene M Jenkins. “Chapter 6.” Poverty and Health: A Crisis among America's Most Vulnerable, vol. 1, ABC-CLIO, LLC

→ This source also talked about the relationship between homelessness and health. They have an exhaustive specific list such as information about chronic homeless veterans, violence, victimization and trauma, etc. But since I’m focusing on just the general effects of homelessness on health, I didn’t want to be too specific with my information so I just took the part where they stated that drug and alcohol abuse and dependence are positively associated with lower work level but are negatively related to higher work level.

4. Lippert, A. M. and Lee, B. A. (2015), Stress, Coping, and Mental Health Differences among Homeless People. Sociol Inq, 85: 343–374. doi:10.1111/soin.12080

→ This source mainly focuses on the mental health of homeless people. Their research/analysis found that psychiatric disorders are most common among people who are chronically or episodically homeless and least common among the new-entry homeless. I didn’t include this information though but instead, included their statement that there’s a bidirectional relationship between health and homelessness. I needed another source to get information from, so I found this article and found out that they talked about bidirectional relationship so this is what I used to cite that information.

5. Quigley, John M., et al. Homelessness in California. Public Policy Institute of California, 2001

→ This source is the same one I also used for Berkeley but I’m also utilizing it here as some of their information applies more towards health of homelessness in the US. Other than the description I wrote about this source earlier, they also talked about the fact that the longer individuals experience homelessness, the more likely they are to experience poor health and be at higher risk for premature death (and this is what I included on my paragraph).

6. Zuvekas, S. H. and Hill, S. C. (2000), Income and employment among homeless people: the role of mental health, health and substance abuse. J. Mental Health Policy Econ., 3: 153–163.

→ This source talked about incomes and employment and disability programs for homeless people. It turns out that they do work but it’s not enough to make enough income from their earnings alone.

So It Goes
Anyone know who the girl voice is? --JKaizer (talk) 17:52, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

He's been busy
So, Sparks Will Fly is getting released on the 29th. I didn't reference it because it's been on all of his social media outlets, and to my knowledge, we're not supposed to reference those.

I moved the Current Known Songs into a table, because it was getting to be a longer, clumsy list. I also re alphabetized them (I think it was me that didn't in the first place...!) and also added yet another song - Never Walk Away, which is from his OurStage profile. (How many places does this guy post music?!)

I cut the covers from the other songs, because he's done quite a few and it's becoming rather senseless to list them. We would have had to add the John Mayer melody he just did, the Boston cover... and whatever else he's posted to his YouTube since. It was becoming outdated and worthless. I don't know about the other ones listed there, if they're originals or not, so if anyone knows some more about them, please let us know.

Quinn-Tuplets was apparently not picked up by CBS, so should we take it out of the list? And, on a similar front - he's been talking a lot about Greek filming on Twitter. Anyone know what that's for?

And finally, I killed all the not-yet-there links in the Filmography. The Prankster was linking to a page completely not related, and the Wizzards of Krud one was deleted ages ago, and I doubt it will resurface.

One last thing - could we use the image from If Eyes Could Speak as his picture? His profile looks rather drab without one, and it does exist.

Sorry if I did anything I shouldn't have - but I wanted to try and clean up his page a bit. He's getting more and more active, so hopefully we'll have more and more visitors. :) --JKaizer (talk) 07:02, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

MySpace
The sentence, "Werkheiser originally signed with Universal Records for his debut album, however his label status on MySpace has since changed to unsigned, because MySpace is the most significant way to tell where someone is in life, possibly indicating that he is no longer with Universal." indicates an opinion and should be changed. I think the best way to edit is to erase the entire "because MySpace is the most significant way to tell where someone is in life" phrase altogether.

This article currently uses Infobox musical artist. This is incorrect: Werkheiser is primarily known as an actor, not as a musician – therefore Infobox person should be used. (Note that Infobox musical artist can be used as a module or sub-template of Infobox person if so desired...) In any case, unless someone can make a very compelling case for keeping Infobox musical artist, I will be converting the infobox to Infobox person soon. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 18:43, 22 April 2016 (UTC)

1959 Mahasu by-election

On 3 June 1959 a by-election was held for one of the Mahasu seats in the Lok Sabha (the lower house of the Parliament of India). In the 1957 Indian general election Yashwant Singh Parmar and Nek Ram of the Indian National Congress had been declared the winners of the two Mahasu constituency seats, but subsequently the Election Tribunal had declared the election of Parmer invalid due to 'corrupt practices'.

There were three candidates in the fray for the by-election; Shivanand Ramaul from the Indian National Congress, Hira Singh Pal from the Praja Socialist Party and Kameshwar Pandit from the Communist Party of India (standing as an independent). Ramaul won the seat with 39,405 votes (50.39%). Pal obtained 31,250 votes (40.39%) and Pandit got 6,712 votes (8.67%).

Wikibooks:NPOV dispute

NPOV (Neutral Point Of View) content, is one that has been written without advocating a particular viewpoint on a subjective issue. This is especially important when dealing with controversial issues. In a neutral representation, the content is constructed in such a way none of the pertinent differing points of view are prominently presented. Wikibooks content needs to be based in facts not falsehoods, opinions or judgments.

"Neutral point of view" should not be confused with "point of view espoused by an international body such as the United Nations;" writing in NPOV style requires recognizing that even widely held or widely respected points of view are not necessarily all-encompassing.

Tagging non-NPOV content
Modules under Wikibooks:Neutral point of view(NPOV)dispute are listed in: NPOV disputes. An NPOV label indicates that the content is perceived as biased (i.e., not conforming to a neutral point of view) by one or more Wikibookians, but that consensus on the expressed views is lacking. Should consensus be reached, the content is fixed or deleted.

If you find content that you think is biased, you can add {tlnpov} to the top of the page and leave a note with your rationale on the talk page. The label is meant to indicate that a discussion is ongoing, and hence that the module contents are disputed and volatile.

Resolving NPOV disputes
Wikibooks is best served by trying to present a fair, neutral description of the facts — among which are the facts that various interpretations and points of view exist (of course, there are limits to what POVs are considered worth mentioning, which can be an area of conflict). Those criticizing content as biased, often do so on grounds that viewpoints are expressed as facts. In this case, citing sources to back these facts should solve the dispute.

There may also be a disagreement over what the facts represent. It should be noted that factual statements do not equal neutral statements. Neutrality implies presenting competing versions fairly. Personal conviction has no relevance. If a significant number of other interested parties really does disagree with us, no matter how wrong we think they are, the discussion will be recast as a fair presentation of the dispute between the parties.

Wording (including page titles), selective use of viewpoints or undue weight given to one are also versions of bias. This may be a harmless case of a book being still in progress, or limited expertise on the behalf of current contributors. Adding the missing content or making a note of it (for example in the npov template) would constitute an acceptable interim solution.

If content that you think is objective has been tagged with the template message, don't panic. Views differ, and Wikibooks caters to everyone. As long as the content complies with What is Wikibooks and can be backed by sources, there should be a way to represent it in a way that is fair to all sides. It may be tricky and compromises are probably needed, but it should be manageable. Keep in mind that no edit is irreversible. All versions are in the page history. Be civil and assume good faith.

Rialto Municipal Airport

Rialto Municipal Airport, originally Miro Field, was a general aviation airport three miles (5 km) northwest of Rialto, in San Bernardino County, California, United States.

It was used by private aircraft; no airlines flew into this airport. It was about 12 miles northeast of Ontario International Airport and ten miles west of San Bernardino International Airport. The airport did not have a control tower and averaged 82 operations a day.

An FBO with a flight school and a separate helicopter flight school operated at the airport. There were several aviation related businesses. Warbirds West Air Museum is relocating its warbird collection to the big hangar at the center of the field. The airport cafe is attached to the WWAM hangar. There was an air ambulance business in the southeast part of the airport.

Despite its size compared to nearby airfields (Upland Cable Airport, Corona Municipal Airport, El Monte Municipal Airport, Redlands Municipal Airport and Hemet-Ryan Airport), Rialto was a relatively quiet airport. This led the city of Rialto to approve the closing of the airport by 2009/2010 for redevelopment, driven by real estate developers. The airport was expected to close by January or February 2015, once the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department Aviation Division relocated to the San Bernardino International Airport. Development of Renaissance Marketplace was planned to begin as soon as the airport closed and the runways were removed. On September 18, 2014, the airport officially closed to air traffic; half of the former airport property showed as developed as of March 21, 2024 satellite imagery; all pavement had been removed and very little evidence of runways and taxiways remain.

History
The land which became Rialto Airport, about 40 acre, was purchased by Sam Miro in 1944. In 1966 the City of Rialto obtained the property while bringing the area to 60 acre.

In 1978 Art Scholl Aviation, founded by Art Scholl, relocated to Rialto Airport from nearby Flabob Airport in Riverside.

Since 1984 the City of Rialto accepted more than US$15 million in federal aid for airport improvement and land purchases.

On September 18, 2014, the airport was officially closed.

Facilities
Rialto Municipal Airport covered 600 acre and had two asphalt runways: 6/24 is 4500 x and 17/35 is 2650 x.

For the other classes, differents typologies crystalised; the most frequent move the eliminable phoneme from the first to the last one: " What means with a verbal meanings?--Hillgentleman 12:26, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

 * It means that the principal (not the only one) meaning of the sundocarmë is an action, and not a affection sentiment, a thing or a state of beeings, etc. A sundocarmë with verbal meanings can be easily recognised in english because its glosse gloss can be used directly as a verb; eg:
 * SOTO- : "defend", has a verbal meaning because defending is an action, while
 * NETH- : "young/youngness" has a non-verbal meaning, because "be young" is not an action, but a state of being.
 * This distinction was probably born at the very early period of Primitive Quendian when sundocarmi were used as effective words, and those with verbal meaning, as real verbs.
 * Good question Hillgentleman, welcome to this course! I'll edit the text, in order to explain this concept.--Elistir 13:48, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

 * What is an affection? What is its glosse?--Hillgentleman 14:48, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

 * With affection I was intending a sentiment, although I have to use this word carefully because it has a precise meaning in linguistic (it's also a common feature of Sindarin). Glosse instead is a mistake of mine for the word gloss. I hope to have clarified your doubts. Have you understand the difference between verbal and non verbal sundocarmi? --Elistir 17:52, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Talk:cunning

I and my family have lived in New England for generations. Cunnin is definitely an "Old Yankee" word for adorable. So put it back.
 * If you look at the entry, you'll see that it's already back- as it has been since it passed verification 5 years ago. Chuck Entz (talk) 15:44, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

I'm removing the following adjective bullet as I've lived in New England my whole life and never heard this word used in this way: " Cute, appealing. (Rarely used., mostly in New England, pronounced by dropping the g: "cunnin")" Slang and extremely uncommon usage such as this does not belong here, but rather in the urbandictionary.

cunning
Adjective sense 3. # Cute, appealing. (Rarely used., mostly in New England, pronounced by dropping the g: "cunnin") - Algrif 13:57, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Wow! That is a lot of redundant senses!  Is there really more than one?  --Connel MacKenzie 05:00, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
 * It's definitely old-fashioned American slang to use "cunning" in the sense of "cute", as in "what a cunning dress/baby/puppy!". Finding this usage on the Internet is difficult (it helps if you eliminate the words "linguist" and "stunt" from the search field), but see for example, , . The bit about "mostly in New England, pronounced by dropping the g" is probably unverifiable original research and ought to be eliminated. Angr 17:24, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I searched g.b.c. for "cunnin" and found many cites. A few were of poems about babies. A couple were very explicitly about the "cunning" selfishness of babies. I didn't find any instance that was unambiguously about "cute" (but my search was not very thorough). I wonder whether any somewhat positive adjective applied to babies, puppies, or kittens comes to mean "cute". DCDuring 18:48, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

--- My mother and her sisters often voiced this exact usage (even the dropped 'g), much to the perplexity of my erudite Texas-born wife. Mom's family were east-coast NYC/NJ area mid-upper-class, men-folk university educated in the 1895-1930 era, 2nd generation americans of German-Irish heritage. They summered in Eastern Pennsylvania, not New England.

Very common as 'cunnin' meaning cute in SouthWest Nova Scotia, Canada - Barrington to Yarmouth area. The area grew from landings of the Loyalists from New England.

Hannah Grier Coome

Sarah Hannah Roberta Grier Coome (October 28, 1837 – February 9, 1921) was a Canadian Anglican religious sister who founded the Sisterhood of St. John the Divine and was its first mother superior.

Early and family life
Sarah Hannah Roberta Grier was born in the Carrying Place, Upper Canada, to the Rev. John Grier, a high church Anglican priest who had emigrated from Ireland in 1823 and been ordained in Quebec, and his wife Eliza Lilias Geddes. Hannah (as she preferred to be known by) was their third daughter and sixth child. Her parents took responsibility for her education at home, which also for a time was in Belleville. One sister, Rose Jane Elizabeth Grier, became a teacher, and ultimately principal of the Bishop Strachan School in Toronto. On July 23, 1859, Hannah married civil engineer Charles Horace Coome, who worked on the Grand Trunk Railway, and the couple initially lived in Kingston.

In 1862, Charles Coome accepted an engineering job in Britain, and the couple moved across the Atlantic. While in Britain, Hannah became acquainted with the Oxford Movement as well as the Community of St Mary the Virgin in Wantage and felt drawn to mission work. She also became pregnant but lost what would be her only child after a severe fall which also required a long convalescence.

The couple returned to North America in 1876, but a year later, Charles Coome died in Chicago. Hannah continued to live in the American city with a nephew and a brother for several years, and supported herself by teaching decorative art, as well as by embroidering hangings and other decorations for churches.

Nonetheless, by 1881, Coome considered entering a religious community, especially returning to Wantage, England, to join the Community of St. Mary the Virgin. Instead, at a party arranged by her sister Rose as she went to Toronto in 1881, Coome met the Reverend Ogden Pulteney Ford (high churchman and priest at three parishes in Toronto) and Georgina Broughall (wife of the rector of St. Stephen in the Fields Church), who told her about their plans to form a similar sisterhood there in Toronto. The Canadian group also held an organizational meeting and others in the winter.

Sisterhood of St. John the Divine
In June 1882, Coome and Amelia Elizabeth (Aimée) Hare travelled to Peekskill, New York, for two years' formation at the Sisters of St Mary, a relatively new Anglican educational and nursing order led by Harriet Starr Cannon, while the Canadian group did further fundraising and organization, including within the Family Compact for which Rose and Coome may have qualified. Hannah Coome and Aimee Hare trained with the American sisters in their hospital and social missions in New York City. Upon completing their novitiate, Coome professed religious vows on September 8, 1884, at the Peekskill motherhouse, and she and Hare returned to Toronto.

In Toronto, the new sisters continued to find support from Ford, who became Coome's spiritual director. At first, Coome (now known as "Sister Hannah") and Novice Aimee stayed with Rose Coome at the Bishop Strachan School, but their supporters soon managed to purchase a house near Ford's church of St. Matthias, Bellwoods. They called themselves the Sisterhood of St. John the Divine after the London parish of St. John the Divine, Kennington, where Coome had found spiritual support years earlier. Moreover, an English sister from an order with a similar name (Sr. Anna Lomas, of the Community of the Nursing Sisters of St. John the Divine) had gone to Canada circa 1878, but failed to form a community. In any event, Bishop Arthur Sweatman recognized the new order in a ceremony on St. John's Day, 1884.

Early in their ministry, Coome, Aimee and various postulants experienced taunts from Protestants who considered their uniform, similar to widow's garb at the time, excessively "papist" (Roman Catholic). Some Orangemen even threatened to burn down their house but were ultimately converted.

However, they had barely established themselves when Bishop Sweatman and later the Provincial Synod requested their support in Saskatchewan, as a result of the North-West Rebellion. Thus in May, 1885, Mother Hannah, Novice Aimee, two postulants and three nursing graduates embarked by train and boat for Moose Jaw, where they established a hospital to nurse wounded or otherwise ill soldiers. Their mission succeeded, so that on their return to Toronto in July, not only had Mother Hannah received a medal from the Government of Canada, opposition to their mission lessened. Mother Hannah adopted a Rule derived from that of the Peekskill community (itself modeled on the Rule of St. Benedict), which provided for prayer as well as good works.

In 1886 the new order accepted responsibility for a house on Larch Street from the parish of St. George the Martyr, designed to care for the elderly, although at the time no sisters other than Mother Hannah had taken full religious vows. On June 1, 1888, the new order laid the cornerstone for the city's first surgical hospital for women, St. John's, but Rev. Ford did not live to see the project completed, succumbing to cancer.

Nonetheless, the community continued. Rev. Alexander Bethune (headmaster of Trinity College School, Coome's longtime friend and son of former bishop Alexander Bethune) agreed to be their warden. The hospital was dedicated on May 2, 1889, and by year's end the newly incorporated community adopted its bylaws and other organizational documents, as well as moved to larger quarters on Major Street where the motherhouse would remain for sixty years. The needs of their elderly patients outgrew the house on Larch Street, so the order accepted another on John Street, which in turn eventually proved too small. In 1906, the sisterhood built the Church Home for the Aged at Bellevue and Oxford Streets in the Kensington neighborhood, and added another wing the following year.

In 1892 the sisterhood accepted its first long-term foundation outside Toronto, taking over Bishop Bethune College, a boarding school in Oshawa. Increasingly over time, the community not only trained nurses and ministered to the elderly, but also ran schools and orphanages, serving the handicapped and poor in both large cities and rural areas. It grew to over 500 associates by 1930.

Death and legacy
Coome experienced sciatica, overwork, and continued complications of her miscarriage for many years, but only retired at age 79. The sisters elected her niece, Dora Grier, to succeed her as mother superior. Coome was heartbroken by her sister Rose's death in October 1920, and died herself, surrounded by her sisterhood, on Ash Wednesday, February 9, 1921. After a funeral at St. Thomas' Church in Toronto where the community usually worshipped, she was buried at St. James Cemetery affiliated with the cathedral in Toronto. She rests beside fourteen sisters and novices of the order who knew her, and one infant who died the previous year.

The order she founded at various times had houses in Ontario, Quebec (mission work at the Church of St. John the Evangelist in Montreal), Nova Scotia, Saskatchewan (Qu'Appelle Diocesan School in Regina), and Alberta (St. John's House for unmarried mothers), as well as continued to maintain relations with similar orders in the United States and England. In 1933, it helped establish a rehabilitation hospital in north Toronto, now St. John's Rehab Hospital. Twenty years later they moved their motherhouse to Willowdale, Toronto near that hospital. Their ministry also offers religious retreats, with current active houses in Toronto, as well as Victoria, British Columbia.

AC Giacomense

Associazione Calcio Giacomense was an Italian association football club located in Masi San Giacomo, a frazione of Masi Torello, in the Province of Ferrara, Emilia-Romagna.

The club spent 5 seasons in professional football (Lega Pro) from 2008 to 2013. In 2013, the club sold its place in the league to S.P.A.L. 2013, a team based in the capital of the province which Giacomense was located.

History
The club was founded in 1967 and its first president was Tino Droghetti in the league of Terza Categoria Ferrara.

After several years in the regional championships, in 2006, the team was promoted to Serie D from Eccellenza Emilia–Romagna/B. In its first season in Serie D, the company won a match in the playoffs but was eliminated in the first round by Castellarano.

On 20 April 2008 achieved its first historic promotion to Serie C2 after winning Serie D Girone D.

On 17 May 2009 it concluded its first season in the professional leagues, finishing in seventh place in the Lega Pro Seconda Divisione.

In football seasons 2009–10 and 2010–11 it avoided relegation twice: in the first case against Colligiana in the playoff (after finishing the season in fourteenth place), and the following year by repeating the best result in its history, coming seventh in the league.

In the 2012–13 season in Lega Pro Seconda Divisione the team finished in 11th place and it was saved again. However the club sold its sports title at the end of the season to Real SPAL in a merger with the major team of the province of Ferrara, which had been refounded in 2012–13 Serie D due to the bankruptcy of the previous entity, "SPAL 1907". In fact, the new club did not use the name Giacomense but changed to "SPAL 2013". SPAL had finished seventh in Group D in the 2012–13 season, failing to enter the promotion playoffs. As the FIGC allowed a club to move within a province to continue their sporting title, Giacomense was the only available club to buy in order to aid the return of SPAL to professional football.

Colors and badge
The team's colours were red and grey.

Hello. Can these three files under the Category:Out of copyright in 1991 be transferred to Commons with their changed "licensing"? For some reason (perhaps the indicated licensing on those three files) I cannot transfer them thru FileExporter.

The author of the subject, John George Bartholomew, died in 1920, so according to this section of a WikiCommons page about copyright rules in India, the subject should be in PD since 1980 (60 years after his death, and +1 = 1981, but for some reason it was categorized under 1991). I'm thinking of changing the indicated licensing of these three files to PD-India and Commons:Template:PD-old-auto-1923 (maybe indicate |deathyear=1920), because I suspect the FileExporter doesn't work (giving warning message). But I might need second opinion to say that I will do the right thing. Thanks for the response. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 12:42, 24 July 2020 (UTC)

I transferred all 3 files to Commons thru FileExporter. I begin to think of adding a "3rd PD tag" which is Commons:Template:PD-UK-posthumous-non-photo-1996. Would this be fine or could cause complexity (and unwanted problems) because of the existence of 3 PD tags? JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 04:15, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I don't think it would cause any problems. You can write a note in the Permission field that you are unsure which is the country of origin and hence the two different tags. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 04:33, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

 * It would be nice to get some additional input on this because additional files keep getting updated by colorized versions. The faster is can be resolved the less of a chance that lots of cleanup will be needed. Many of the files being updated are non-free which means it won't be too long before the bots start flagging the now unused versions for speedy deletion per WP:F5. -- Marchjuly (talk) 06:05, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

File:Portion of mural Tragic Prelude, by John Steuart Curry, Kansas Capitol, Topeka.jpeg
I came across this photo via WP:THQ. It’s a photo of part of larger mural called Tragic Prelude. There are two other photos of different parts of the mural uploaded to Commons under PD licenses and one of them is claiming that the work is c:Template: PD-US-no notice. If that’s correct, then the entire mural should also be PD as well, right? If it is, then any non-free photos of it would likely fail WP:NFCC. This photo, however, isn’t really a case of c:COM:2D copying since it’s not really a straight on photo of a single wall, but more of a photo that has some depth showing multiple walls; so, I’m not sure whether it might qualify as a WP:Derivative work even if the mural itself is PD. That would mean a separate license would also be needed for the photo and that it can’t be used with the WP:CONSENT of the person who took the photo. Is the mural itself PD and can this photo be kept if it is? — Marchjuly (talk) 13:06, 2 August 2020 (UTC)
 * The issue seems only to be that the photo in question is "Posted by Kansas Historical Society on public information site about the Kansas Capitol." A freer photo can be made of it, someone just has to walk in and take it which outside of COVID issues should be possible at any point. There's no special "3d" aspects here, the mural spanning 3 standard rectangular walls is not adding special artistic stuff too it (contrast to, say File:Felice Varini - 'Nine dancing triangles', France (Chateau Chasse-Spleen, Moulis en Medoc 2012. Photos by André Morin. Photocollage by Gil Dekel.jpg types of optical illusions (and even those may be PD). Its definitely not an architecture problem, as the Kansas Capital was completed in 1903 so that's out of copyright. It's just the need for a free image to be taken, which is fully possible. --M asem  (t) 23:04, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for taking a look . Do you think tagging with rfu would be OK here or would it be better to discuss at FFD? Another possibility might be to see if the uploader can get the WP:CONSENT of the copyright holder. I can ask and point them to WP:PERMISSION, but I'm not sure how that will play out. -- Marchjuly (talk) 23:15, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Given that it is easily replaceable (just not at the immediate time) I doubt a CONSENT is needed, I'd just rfu it. I'd only use that if it was a case of a hard-to-reacquire possible free image. --M asem (t) 23:47, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

Use of court documents from California hosted by the Department of Justice
Hi! I am interested in determining if this document is in the public domain (PD), as well as whether individual photos in it are PD. In general I believe that documents released by the Department of Justice are PD. Though this particular document is labelled as from California, rather than the DoJ, I think this is usually not an issue either--California has very generous provisions.

The reason why I'm hoping to get a second opinion on this is that public records get tricky when they're court documents or related to criminal investigations (as I think this one is). Is this document in the PD? Are the included images?

If yes, then users have expressed interest in using at least one image.

Thanks for your help.

Help regarding [[:File:Mark Greaney at Rhodes College.jpg]]
Hi there,

I am writing to ask for advice regarding File:Mark Greaney at Rhodes College.jpg on behalf of a friend, CarverSindile. CarverSindile is fairly new to Wikipedia and unfamiliar with the norms and protocols here. We just needed some advice on how to ensure that the image complies with Wikipedia policies including whether it is replaceable and what sort of licensing we can use for the image. Personally, I don't know whether the image can be used legally on Wikipedia. Was wondering if someone could advise us on how to resolve this matter. Thanks. Andykatib 10:02, August 4, 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi . Non-free images of still living persons are pretty much never allowed per WP:NFCC because it’s almost always consider reasonable for a free equivalent image that can serve the same encyclopedic purpose as a non-free one to be cremated or found per WP:FREER. There are sometimes exceptions to this allowed like those specified in item 1 of WP:NFC, but I don’t any of them would apply to this photo. So, unless you can get the WP:PERMISSION of the copyright holder and have them email their WP:CONSENT to Wikimedia OTRS, this file is likely going to end up be deleted as replaceable non-free use per WP:F7. Please note that for Wikipedia’s licensing purposes CONSENT basically means that the copyright holder is agreeing to allow anyone anywhere in the world to download the file and use it for any purpose (including commercial reuse and derivative use). The copyright holder can require that they be properly attributed by anyone reusing the file and that it be used under the terms of the license it’s released under, but that’s about it. So, “for non-commercial use only” or “for Wikipedia use only”, etc. types of licenses are not going to be accepted. Non-copyright related restrictions will not be accepted as well. Please refer to c:Commons:Licensing for more specific information. — Marchjuly (talk) 11:09, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi . Thanks very much for your advise. Will pass this on to . The best idea would be to seek permission from the copyright holder. If not, it will probably have to be deleted per Wikipedia policy and process. Andykatib 11:16, 4 August 2020 (UTC)

Hi, CarverSindile here, I emailed/messaged them but not sure if they will see it or reply to it. CarverSindile (talk) 00:00, 5 August 2020 (UTC)
 * You're best bet here may be to contact a representative of the subject, which it looks like you can do via . It's a bit "in their own best interest" to have a Wikipedia article, and so they may be willing to release a photo under a Creative Commons license for use here. I...probably get a response 30% of the time I ask. But it's still better than nothing.  G M G  talk  11:19, 4 August 2020 (UTC)

Adding a magazine cover
Can someone help with how to format Comics Buyer's Guide Fan Awards so that it lets me keep the image that was auto-deleted? I thought I used similar code from the parent article Comics Buyer's Guide but the JJMC89_bot didn't like it. I'm trying to include the image as an example of the magazine's cover that announced that year's winners. This previous version of the fan awards page is what I'm going for. Thanks! Wizardimps (talk) 04:49, 6 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi . The bot removed the file because it was lacking the separate specific non-free use rationale that's required by WP:NFCC for the use in Comics Buyer's Guide Fan Awards. That's why the bot included a link to WP:NFC in the edit summary it left when removing the file. So, all you need to do is provide a non-free use rationale for that particular use and the bot will stop removing the file.Now, the question then is whether a valid non-free use rationale can be provided for such a use as explained in WP:JUSTONE. Generally, non-free magazine covers are allowed per item 1 of WP:NFCI when they're used for primary identification purposes in the main infobox or at the top of stand-alone articles about the magzaines they represent; however, "Comics Buyer's Guide Fan Awards" seems to be more about a type of award than a type of magazine; so, perhaps it would be better to use a logo for the awards (if one exists) than a image of a magazine issue about the awards. -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:23, 6 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I highly doubt File:Cbg1600.png can pass the all 10 WP:NFCC policy criteria for use on Comics Buyer's Guide Fan Awards as Marchjuly suggests. Unless they had a special issue just for the awards, you are out of luck. Besides which not all article need or have images and as an encyclopaedia, illustrations are there to supplement the text not as decoration. ww2censor (talk) 10:09, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

Screenshot from a webpage.
I think the answer is no, but, I want guidance here. Trying to add some information to Air India Express Flight 1344, which is a developing story right now.

Specifically, I was thinking of a screenshot from FlightRadar24, of the playback data before the crash. Link to map here. The Screenshot will be zoomed into the crash site and will offer approx last 30 minutes view on the map, as a static image.

My preliminary view is that this is not allowed, but, I wanted to seek your guidance.

Removal of a Fair Use Image
Can anyone explain me the removal of the Farrah Fawcett red swimsuit poster from the article about the Farrah Fawcett red swimsuit poster? Redrobsche (talk) 08:27, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
 * . If you look at the edit summary left by the bot and then look at the file’s page, you should see why it was removed. A non-free file needs a separate specific non-free use rationale for each use, and this file only has such a rationale for the Farrah Fawcett article. Perhaps whomever added the file to the poster’s article wasn’t aware that another rationale specific to that particular use needed to be added to the file’s page, but the bot has no way of knowing that. It only checks to see whether there’s a rationale for each use and removes the file’s from those articles lacking rationale per WP:NFCCE. So, if you think the non-free use in the poster article satisfies all ten WP:NFCCP, add the required rationale to the file’s page and then re-add the file to the article. That should stop the bot, but even then that doesn’t automatically make the file’s non-free use WP:NFCC compliant per WP:JUSTONE.My personal opinion is that the file’s non-free use should be OK in poster’s article, but this in turn might mean that the file’s non-free use in the Farrah Fawcett article is no longer OK per item 6 of WP:NFC; that is something, however, which might need to be further discussed at WP:FFD by anyone who feels the file isn’t needed in both articles. — Marchjuly (talk) 09:19, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your answer, Marchjuly. I'm the guy who added the image to the article since I'm the guy who has written the article. So far, I almost exclusively worked in the Germany Wikipedia, so I'm not familiar with the Fair Use policies here. I changed the file description page and added the image to the poster article again. It is surprising for me that a bot deleted the image because I added it last year to the Pro Arts article without doing anything to the file description page and it was not deleted (until this month where a user deleted it because of the newly created article about the poster). --Redrobsche (talk) 09:49, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
 * You’ll need to ask the bot’s operator any questions about how it finds files like this. Perhaps it checks files being used in newly or recently created artIckes first, or maybe the file was removed by a human editor from that other article before it showed up on the bot’s radar. Finally, for future reference, non-free content and fair use aren’t exactly the same thing when it comes to English Wikipedia’s non-free content use policy. — Marchjuly (talk) 10:02, 10 August 2020 (UTC)

Can someone with more knowledge than me check this out and confirm if the public domain tags on it are applicable to this image.

 * The logo is for an organization set up in 1971 so the pre-1925 usage will not be valid - what else does this tag allow?

 * The not original enough template - according to Logos, if an image created of simple text and simlple shapes is constructed to form a larger image then it is not free. The image CAMRA part of the logo forms a stylized tankard - is this sufficient to be original enough?

noq (talk) 16:53, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

File:Business Development Bank of Canada Logo.svg
This seems quite simple with the only possible copyrighted element being the red maple leaf. The maple leaf shape in general is probably simple and generic enough to not be eligible for copyright on it's own, but a bit of a 3D effect seems to have been added to it in this logo. Does that 3D aeffect push this over c:COM:TOO United States? Even if it's not PD per c:COM:TOO Canada, the file could still be licensed as PD-ineligible-USonly if it's considered PD in the US. -- Marchjuly (talk) 02:24, 29 July 2020 (UTC)

 * It seems to me that by comparison to the Best Western example, it is public domain in the United States. In Canada, I think there might be some legitimate question about whether the decision to stylize the maple leaf in that unconventional form was a creative act. (Is it a reference to a typographical asterisk? A simplification for artistic purposes? Does the bifurcation represent a conceptual duality, or is it intended to represent the physical form of a leaf?) I'd say that if it is unlikely that we will learn the designer's intent and whether it was indeed a product of skill and judgment, PD-ineligible-USonly is the better option. Either way, I think this is a low-risk decision. TheFeds 10:16, 31 July 2020 (UTC)

This screenshot is nothing but colored text on a light blue background which seems simple enough for PD-simple or PD-logo? Is there some reason it needs to be non-free? -- Marchjuly (talk) 09:36, 8 August 2020 (UTC)

 * I agree with that assessment: PD-simple ought to apply. (Rather, the version at is better, but that template isn't independently available on Wikipedia.) The text simply states title information, and doesn't appear to be a poem or other creative literary work. The slight variation in background colour is probably due to a mechanical process related to the transfer between media, and not a creative act. I don't think it is a logo. I'm changing it to PD-simple. TheFeds 10:58, 14 August 2020 (UTC)

Using cover art on 2 pages?
Are there any circumstances under which it would be allowed to use the same cover art on two pages? In this case, I'm thinking about Ross Poldark (novel) and Poldark. Poldark is the article about the twelve-volume series. Ross Poldark (novel) is about the first volume of that series. Currently, Poldark has an image on it of the cover art that was published on the 1st edition of the first volume (that is, Ross Poldark (novel).) I'd like to be able to put the image also on the Ross Poldark (novel). If I did, it would be on two pages. I did put it on Ross Poldark (novel) and it was removed by the User:JJMC89 bot because (I believe) of the two-articles problem. If it can't appear on both pages, I can still illustrate both pages with cover art, because there have been multiple editions, all with their own cover art. So, really, I just want to be able to use the cover art from the first edition on both pages, which is hardly really a big deal, but thought I would check. Thank you!! Novellasyes (talk) 18:41, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

 * It is reasonable to use the cover of the first book of a series as the infobox image for both the series and the book itself. But the reason it was removed is that per our non-free content requirements, you need a separate rational on the file: page for that image to use in on the book's page (it has one for the series page).  (See WP:NFCC) --M asem  (t) 19:15, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

Ruth Johnson picture copyright
I was looking at Ruth Johnson's page, and noticed her picture here: c:File:Ruth_Johnson_2019.jpg. It's listed under the "Creative Commons CC0 1.0 Universal Public Domain Dedication." The website does say that the picture is "intended for media and public use and may be freely reproduced", but I remember I've uploaded photos that had a similar disclaimer that were taken down. I may have simply put the wrong copyright information on them, but I wanted to check if this was valid for inclusion on Wikimedia, because if so, I'd like to upload more pictures that have this disclaimer.

Are these OK for Commons?
Good day. Are the following three files OK for Wikimedia Commons? I have some reservations over these three photos before I can transfer them to Commons.
 * File:NLEX Balintawak Toll Plaza - with billboards (Caloocan; 12-07-2019).jpg
 * File:Jones Bridge - new light posts, to Binondo (Manila; 11-24-2019).jpg
 * File:Jones Bridge - new light posts (Manila; 11-24-2019).jpg

The first includes billboards above the toll plaza. Could this photo pass de minimis? If not, can it be remedied? (Exempli gratia: upon using FileEx/Importer, renaming it to remove "with billboards," then after the transfer cropping out 50% of the billboards with CropTool, then afterwards requesting an admin to delete the uncropped one)

For the second and third, the substantial inclusion of the stylistic lamp posts. Nevertheless, our copyright law is obscure concerning objects carrying artistic properties like lamp posts. Are lamp posts like those at Jones Bridge not included in copyright protection? If included, could the second photo fulfill de minimis while the third should be marked as "no-FOP in the Philippines as applied art"? JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 05:52, 17 August 2020 (UTC)

Pardon me for paging you again,. seems my query is ignored again.. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 14:05, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

 * File:NLEX Balintawak Toll Plaza - with billboards (Caloocan; 12-07-2019).jpg
 * I'd say this is de minimis. It's impossible to give a general view of the place, which includes billboards, without them being in the picture. Since there are many billboards, it is entirely incidental which were there at the time of photography. I'd say the photo is therefor not specifically about any single ad.

 * File:Jones Bridge - new light posts, to Binondo (Manila; 11-24-2019).jpg
 * Philippine copyright law is quite similar to US, and I'd say the light posts are non-free under that interpretation (i.e. not c:COM:UA) and outside of the scope of FOP (which is for buildings only in this case). However, in this picture, it could be de minimis. The file name says it's about the light posts, but it's more of a general view.

 * File:Jones Bridge - new light posts (Manila; 11-24-2019).jpg
 * This image, on the other hand, is too much focused on the lamp posts to be de minimis. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 22:26, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

Adding a copyright tag
I upload images only very occasionally, and I'm having trouble figuring out how to supply a copyright tag after receiving a notice here that I need to do that. The notice says, "just go to the image, click edit, and [add an appropriate tag]". The appropriate tag, ADAICS, would be PD-Philippines (after a bit of searching, I found that tag in File copyright tags/Public domain). However, I don't see how to add the tag to the image while editing its description page. I'm probably missing something which ought to be obvious to me -- can anyone help? Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 16:19, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I doubt that is the correct copyright template but it is the only Philippine template here. If this is a freely licensed image it should be on the wikimedia commons and it is much more likely that their template c:PD-PhilippinesGov applies BUT you need to determine if the photographer is a government employee in order to use that one. For now the template you mention would do but if freely licensed should be moved there and I've added a completed template for you and when you have determined the employment status of the photographer you will have to add the appropriate template. ww2censor (talk) 17:50, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
 * After some research and some browsing on Facebook, the photographer Cesar Tomambo works at PRIB which stands for Public Relations and Information Bureau, headed by its director Raymundo R.

 * (Update) I've already moved this file to Commons, using provisional template PD-PhilippinesPubDoc (because FileExporter doesn't recognize the PD-Philippines). During the transfer process I changed the license to the most suitable Commons:Template:PD-PhilippineGov. Since this is a work by an employee of the Senate Public Relations and Information Bureau, it is a photo from the government without a doubt. It has been argued many times that such photos are PD, most recently 's inputs at Commons:Template talk:PD-PhilippinesGov. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.)  11:29, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

Intentionally derivative work?
If I create an image which is to show massive similarity between two copyright/trademarked individual images, will this still be considered a derivative work and be susceptible to deletion, even when the intention is to draw attention to the similarities?

For example - the logo for Electric Dreams Software and Captain EO? I'm not asking of the validity of doing such a thing, or whether it's notable, or indeed a valid use of my time - only whether the creation of such an image would fall foul of derivative - or any other copyright/Non-free usage.

 * If that image was being created to support third-party sources that discussed the closeness of the images in the first place and you were creating it to point out the similarities and/or differences outlined in those sources, that would probably be fair to keep, but other factors would come into play. But the sources to support that would be critical. If you did that comparison on your own, that would likely lead to deletion . --M asem (t) 13:16, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
 * In the above example that would be the case - a computer magazine of the day pointed out the similarities and ran side-by-side images of the two. Again - only for the above examples - both target articles make mention of this similarity, and both are sourced to the same magazine piece.  Chaheel Riens (talk) 14:46, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

Drawings with initials only from 1930s in UK journal
Early accounts of excavations at Whitehawk Camp have plans of the site which are signed by "R.G." and a date -- 1930, 1933, 1936. I've checked through the acknowledgements and the list of assistants at each excavation for each, and there are no names with those initials. The sources are: Per this Commons explanation, copyright expires 70 years after the death of the author for a known author, and 70 years after publication for an unknown author. The author of this was very likely still alive in 1950, so this is only out of copyright if I can treat the author as unknown. Can I do so? Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 14:07, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

Stained Glass Window Copyright
So, several years ago I was in Normandy in the town of Sainte-Mère-Église and I took a of a stained glass window in a Catholic church that commemorates US troops liberating the town in the D-Day Invasion. The town and church are popular tourist attractions because of the history of the place and because of these windows.

I have recently received notice from that because the image is a derivative work of the window design, I need to indicate the copyright status of the original window or that it may be deleted. The image is also. A brief check online shows no indication of copyright of the image, but I doubt that is sufficient. Otherwise I have no idea how to proceed with this. Can someone offer some advice on how to proceed?

 * If the window commemorates the 1944 event, it is likely still in copyright to the artist or their heirs. Do you know when the window was installed, who the artist was and their death date, unless still alive? Normal French copyright extends for 70 years after the artist's death, so they would have to be dead since 1949. ww2censor (talk) 09:09, 22 August 2020 (UTC)
 * France notably doesn't have a freedom of panorama clause which would allow unfettered publication of such photographs without permission from the authors. Magog the Ogre (t • c) 13:43, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

 * OK. Thanks for clarifying the issue. It's a longshot but I have fired off a query with the town government and will see if I can get any contacts with the church proper. Assuming I get traction with them, what kind of documentation is necessary to be granted permission and what would be the timeframe that would have to be met? -- KNHaw   (talk)  18:47, 22 August 2020 (UTC)
 * , the window is prominently dated "6 Juin 1969" which is strong evidence that it was installed for the 25th anniversary of D-Day. That makes it more likely that it is covered by copyright. Cullen328  Let's discuss it  18:54, 22 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I agree that it had not lapsed into the public domain. I was hoping to get permission to leave the image up. Again, a long shot, but I thought it was still worth a try. -- KNHaw  (talk)  19:19, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

Egypt copyright law (1954)
Hi there. I see User:Ashashyou has placed under public domain by the virtue of Egypt's 1954 law that was applicable on works published prior to 2002.

So, would the Qur'an (audio) recitations of the famous Egyptian reciters (El Minshawi, Al Hussary, Abdul Basit Abdus Samad, Mustafa Ismail) fall under public domain too, especially since most of them published their works well before 2002 regardless of whether anyone claims legal rights to the recitals (record companies or firms that acquired rights to the recordings post their deaths or secured rights in other countries)?

Thanks.

World History/Consequences of the Second World War

The Second World War saw the most far-reaching transformation of world politics to date. The destructive technologies introduced during the war – foremost, the atomic bomb – made it very unlikely that a land-based conflict of similar scale and duration among the major nations could ever happen again, because of the potential for total destruction of all combatants.

No advanced industrial nation has been invaded since 1945, and all wars since that time have been guerrilla conflicts in less-developed countries, conflicts involving less-developed countries with more advanced ones, or some combination of these two scenarios.

From an economic standpoint, the war and its aftermath consumed much of the real and potential industrial production of the world over the period 1940–1960 (with the exception that the United States, its homeland untouched, was able to expand both its defense industries and its civilian economy very rapidly after 1945). Europe and Japan lay in ruins and would spend 15–20 years rebuilding the basis for economic life, with much assistance from the U.S. The Soviet Union and China, though victorious in the war, were also ravaged.

Splitting of the world
Europe was split into two main camps by the "Iron Curtain", which divided Germany in half and separated Austria from Czechoslovakia and Hungary, and Italy from Yugoslavia. The Soviet Union absorbed eastern Poland, and "reassigned" large areas of German territory to Polish rule by way of compensation. Moscow intervened directly to install Communist parties in power in Poland, eastern Germany, Hungary and Czechoslovakia. Finland was able to keep its independence, but did not regain the lands it lost to the Soviets in the 1940 Winter War. Yugoslavia under Marshal Tito, already Communist, did not submit to direct influence from Moscow, choosing a more independent path and greatly angering Stalin. Elsewhere in the Balkans, Bulgaria, Romania and Albania also were brought into the Soviet bloc. To the west were the democracies allied to the USA: the UK, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, Norway, and West Germany. Washington became quite concerned, however, that local Communist parties might gain power in France, Italy and Greece in the late 1940s, given the battered state of the postwar European economy and the proximity of the Soviet Union. French leader Charles DeGaulle received strong backing from the U.S., and anti-Communist parties in Italy were heavily financed. In the end neither nation left the Western sphere of influence.

In Asia, China, Vietnam, Korea and Mongolia were communist countries. Japan, first under occupation by the USA after WWII, had to reform its system – moving away from from militarism and expansionism and into democratic reforms. Military alliances were formed on both sides: First NATO, on April 4, 1949 in the USA geopolitical sphere and as a direct response due to the Cold War the Soviet Union (USSR), on May 14, 1955 created the Organization of Warsaw treaty, better known as Warsaw Pact.

In an attempt to set up a body for possible dialog between Western, Eastern, and Developing countries and establish international law, the Organization of United Nations was established in 1945 by USA initiative. The failing of the League of Nations, also initiated by the USA was one of several precursor stages for WWII. Special consideration must be given to the geopolitical interests behind these organizations, especially who they favor. Even if ultimately, they are a stabilizing force. Other USA international initiatives include: the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank and more recently the World Trade Organization (WTO), that has its roots in the discussions to form the International Trade Organization (ITO) as an evolution from the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) of 1947.
