Violations galore; none outstandingly serious

Hi, Suzanne! It was pleasant chatting with you this afternoon, on my way to meeting User:Invertzoo (Susan the supersonic snail lady) and a dozen other of my Wikimedian buddies at AMNH. I see you were notified months ago of potential COMMONS:Copyright violations. The fact that you got no further notice here suggests that you were able to settle the concerns of our industrious internal copyright police. The survival of the poster probably means it was settled without updating the file description but anyway it looks like I need not poke my beak into it. Copyright is the biggest problem we get from pictures, and failing to get all the sticky details right causes many unhappy deletions even with the best of intentions.

Also here at Commons, most of the pix had no Commons:Category. Those cats that did exist, were poor in some way. No big deal; as an old cat wrangler I intend to fix that myself without you worrying about how that arcane part of the operation works. I am pleasantly surprized that you got so many thing right, while following the obsessions of your own gang instead of ours.

Over at the article en:Hudson Warehouse several little details are wrong. I started by trimming out most the en:WP:CREDITS as we discussed. If I screwed up and some credit information only existed in a caption, it should be added to the information section of the picture description and not to the article. None of the credits actually belong in the article including its captions; I just got tired of hunting and killing them for this evening. The main exception to this caption rule is en:WP:NOTABLE photographers; for example my own favorite Category:Berenice Abbott. You and I, splendid though we may be, are not "notable" by the definitions used by Wikipedia and Wikimedia.

I don't understand the policies in en:WP:GROUPNAME well enough to be sure whether your username is an allowed one. Most of your edits might be objectionable under en:WP:COI or en:WP:PROMOTION. Some en:WP:WIKILAWYERs could even try to raise a fuss over you as a en:WP:SPA but in such marginal matters your obvious good will is far more effective at allaying concerns than it would be in a copyviol question. For one thing, your gang are in a similar field to en:Free content, which cuts you a great deal of slack in cases where hard and fast principles are not a dire necessity.

I expect to see you at a performance, more likely this Saturday evening than any of your others, at the Soldiers and Sailors Monument at the end of West 90th Street. That sentence is a plug, in case we have en:Wikipedia:Talk page stalkers. Plugs on talk pages are far less controversial than in en:WP:MAINSPACE. Best place to answer is here, below my words. Alternatives include my talk page. Jim.henderson (talk) 01:40, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
