Welcome to Hyarion's talk page.

General disclaimer

Hiya. I was working on uploading the FotR-pics when I suddenly thought, don't we need a general disclaimer to put underneath images? "The name(s) {{1}}, {{2}} and {{3}} and the description of their appearance are based on the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, and the copyright to these names and descriptions is owned by Tolkien Enterprises. TG does neither have nor claim ownership blah blah blah...", you know the works. Since our current fair-use policy could use some work (display on userpages, for example, is not fair use). -- Ederchil (Talk/Contribs/Edits) 17:31, 16 December 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Agreed, although I think underneath the images should state fair use, while our Disclaimer link at the bottom of all pages should mention the general copyright message. --Hyarion 04:57, 21 January 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]
That link in the bottom leads to a page that does not exist yet, Tolkien Gateway:General disclaimer. -- Ederchil (Talk/Contribs/Edits) 08:31, 21 January 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Me again - image galleries

Don't know when the next meeting will be, so I thought I'd post it here before I forget it. In the case of some categories - Category:Images of Gothmog most notoriously - there's still some problem over disambiguation. Maybe all image categories should be renamed with the full pagename of the subject? Thus, Category:Images of Boromir (Son of Denethor II) and such, rather than "Images of Boromir" - it is also handy when we would have a special box pointing to images - such as Wikipedia's interlinking with Wiktionary and Wikiquote, or Wookieepedia with quotes and images. I already did on of those for artist's galleries, Template:Viewgal. -- Ederchil (Talk/Contribs/Edits) 14:55, 31 December 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Sorry for the late response, I've been meaning to reply for some time; school/work has gotten the best of me lately, but not for long! I fully agree regarding the full page name for Image categories. The Images box is a great idea, I don't know why I hadn't done that already, it'll help the articles look a little nicer as well. --Hyarion 04:57, 21 January 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]

UsercrEation

I'm looking at the User Creation log at the moment. Do we have some sort of bot operating? All those twelve lettered users are just too many to be a coincidence. -- Ederchil (Talk/Contribs/Edits) 09:18, 8 January 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Yup. Gonna block them all infinitely. -- Ederchil (Talk/Contribs/Edits) 15:45, 8 January 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Ithilien + search

Now that I'm on your talk anyway, any chance of the glitch in the search system of Ithilien (top links don't work) being fixed soon? I very much feel like switching back to cavendish. -- Ederchil (Talk/Contribs/Edits) 08:31, 21 January 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Too late for soon; but I did manage to fix it. The search box has also moved temporarily to the top right. --Hyarion 23:52, 22 February 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The Hobbit

I really hope to see this on the big screen i have waited now for so many years. Your fathers works are beyond compare and and everyone should be able to enjoy his works through reading and through Television and films ... i`d like my children to grow up reading his works as i have . Thanks Unsigned comment by Tom (talk • contribs).

Uhm... Hyar, I didn't know you looked like CT? -- Ederchil (Talk/Contribs/Edits) 22:20, 1 February 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Multiple usernames

Now that we can see the user creation log, it's also visible to see people who make multiple accounts. What do we do with those?

And on another note, isn't it time to archive 2008? -- Ederchil (Talk/Contribs/Edits) 22:35, 22 February 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]
