Afterthoughts

"The only way to have real success in science, the field I’m familiar with, is to describe the evidence very carefully without regard to the way you feel it should be. If you have a theory, you must try to explain what’s good and what’s bad about it equally. In science, you learn a kind of standard integrity and honesty."
—Richard Feynman, What Do You Care What Other People Think? (1988)

Candidate for Custodianship edit

Hi Mike,

Just dropping you a note re Open Educational Resources (OER):Candidates for Custodianship/MathXplore and wondering if you would be able to take a look some time and close if/when you see fit? I nominated MathXplore, so ideally you could close. Dave Braunschweig on a wiki break.

Hope you're well.

Sincerely, James -- Jtneill - Talk - c 09:45, 15 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Jtneill: Yes, I'll review this weekend. I'm doing well. Thanks for asking. --mikeu ^talk 22:19, 15 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Done @MathXplore and Jtneill: See [1] --mikeu ^talk 14:36, 24 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Can we save this depression-era photo? edit

See File:Untitled-91274a-1024.jpg, [2] [3]. The latter two claim (insinuate?) that it is a PD loc image. Is this good enough to get it on Wikiversity? If this does not satisfy "fair use", I don't know what "fair use" is. Come to think of it, I don't know what fair use is. Period.--Guy vandegrift (discuss • contribs) 01:16, 31 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

The most suitable license on commons is {{PD-USGov}}. See, for example: File:Spark_gap_transmitter_bandwidth_-_2.png. I recommend that we move the image to commons and delete the local copy. We should probably give it a more descriptive file name. I'll take a look at this in a short while. IMHO, there's no point in us hosting a PD. On commons it can be fairly used here and cross-wiki. --mikeu ^talk 20:20, 31 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Done - I've moved the file and deleted the local copy. The resource that uses the image looks fine. --mikeu ^talk 22:26, 2 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Done - To clarify - my previous post was the move of File:Depression-overview.jpg. I've just now moved File:Untitled-91274a-1024.jpg. Most of the archival images in the Federal Writers' Project are likely {{PD-USGov}}. By definition, these photos were commissioned and/or published by the US Gov't and are PD. I wouldn't trust a bot to automatically move them. They need to be checked by a person to verify the status. --mikeu ^talk 03:53, 4 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

If you want, I can delete these images, but need someone with more knowledge of copyright and WV policy than I to verify. All or most of the scientific images are essential to imported PLOS articles, so we might want to delete the PLOS articles if we delete the images. The photo of two men are on of user:Jtneill's resources and are likely not essential to the page. Let me know and I will be happy to delete.

I'll take a look at this. --mikeu ^talk 22:26, 2 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Bayesian.png was a duplicate already on commons. I've deleted it and update what links here resource pages. --mikeu ^talk 00:37, 4 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thanks Guy vandegrift (discuss • contribs) 01:41, 4 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Update: I'm still working my way through these files. I'm not sure what the copyright status is for many of them. --mikeu ^talk 01:47, 12 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

You might be interested in it, as a subpage of your userpage has a link to that module. Liuxinyu970226 (discuss • contribs) 11:43, 6 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Yes, that module is deprecated. It appears unused. A deletion is appropriate.[4] --mikeu ^talk 01:27, 12 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Deleted.[5] --mikeu ^talk 03:24, 12 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Should I delete these pages? edit

Latest comment: 14 days ago2 comments2 people in discussion

I am 90% confident that these pages should be deleted, and I can do them quickly with my touch screen. But there are so many files that I would appreciate verification. Could you take a look at Open Educational Resources (OER):Requests_for_Deletion#Unused_files_uploaded_by_Katluvdogs?--Guy vandegrift (discuss • contribs) 16:30, 11 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

I support deletion of all these unused files.[6] --mikeu ^talk 01:22, 12 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
