Possibly unfree Image:CurrentVermontPlate2006.gif
Added comments and extra info, copyright of images of license plates is a bit of a hard topic, but added what I see to be true. I will likely replace with a picture which includes a plate but is not just a plate in the end Mickmaguire 01:24, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Regarding Jim Douglas picture
I don't see why YOU just don't correct the problem, you seem interested in this picutre, so take it. Hucz 19:39, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
- I would love to see it replaced with a free version, However, I do not have a free one to replace it with. My only interest is in helping the PUI mission keep the copyright straight. Mickmaguire 19:42, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
"To do" for wiki Vermont
Mick! I am so impressed at your figuring out how to alter the "to do" list for the project - separating the "to do" from the rest - I have been looking at Wikipedia:WikiProject Hawaii for ideas because they have been so successful, and getting the "to do" under control was my first mission, but I just couldn't figure it out - kudos! I guess my next project is to get the "mission" a little more clearly stated, again looking at the model of Hawaii. I suppose I should also add my name to the members list. H0n0r 15:56, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
- Oops, now I see you've done that too. Well, perhaps I should just do something from "to do"! H0n0r 16:04, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
formatting for VT project page
I saw the new formatting you did for the WikiProject_Vermont page. The new look is good, however the fonts on my computer [Mac iBook, fairly normal resolution] are so small as to be practically unreadable. Do you think there is a way we can compromise and have the good looking layout but make the typeface a bit larger? Thanks for considering it. Jessamyn (talk) 21:02, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
Essex, Vermont as a City
A CITY is defined as:
A center of population, commerce, and culture; a town of significant size and importance.
Essex is as much a city as Rutland or any other "city" listed on that site.
I didn't change it to a city, since the Essex website lists it as a Town.
However, for my own education, can you tell me what the real difference is, since based on population, economy, etc, Essex is as much of a city as any.

Thanks for the help, unfortunately I need more!
Thanks so much for the help, but unfortunately I need it again. As we're on the river in Springfield, we have three NH neighbors (even though 2 are really Charlestown, which is pretty big) and I have no clue how to adjust your code to accommodate this - sorry for another headache in the making. I am also curious as to where you are from in England? I grew up in Worcestershire and my family moved here about 10 years ago. If you ever have a hankering for blackcurrants, you should come down and see us! H0n0r 23:26, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
Mark Richards
I saw you moved the Mark Richards surfer page. I renamed again just to Mark Richards (surfer) as I think there's no need to qualify with "Australian". Please remember to dab all the links to the now disambig Mark Richards. -- Kevin Ryde 01:08, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
Infobox for VT Gov?
- In your edit of the article Jim Douglas, I saw the descriptive edit summary (and thanks for doing that, most end up just being blank :) I wondered myself as I was wikignoming through various articles if it made sense to have both the infobox and the succ box for the same position. In the end, I left them, as there are probably people in favor of one, or the other, or both, for various reasons. It would probably make sense to have the various infobox templates have the hide button ability, like {{NATO}}, to help reduce article length. There's definitely a ton of articles with both, but I"m not sure where the best place to discuss this would be. If you find a place, please let me know. Thx — MrDolomite | Talk 19:50, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
Vermont project and the colored state seal
Hi Milke,
I am newbie and appreciate your nice letter. You've noticed many of my contributions/edits have been to Vermont related subjects. Here is something that seems wrong to me: many of the Vermont related pages display a color version of the state's seal. In reality this doesn't exist or correleate with any of Vermont's armorial history. I suspect a very earnest and well meaning person made it quite recently. The seal is designed in a single color. I've seen it printed in green, gray and black. never multiple colors. In fact, the Vermont Secretary of State's office reserves use of the seal for embossing documents. What I think should be used here instead is the much more widely used (and very colorful) Vermont coat of arms, which does appear on the current state flag, letterheads, buildings, signs, etc. It is a colorful represnetation of most of the elements in the state seal. Changing this would also have the nice effect of bringing Wikipedia's Vermont entries into the same use as Vermont's state government.
Links to two good versions of the vermont coat of arms:
http://www.historyimages.com/Vermont/Vermont-coat-of-arms.gif ,- free clip art!
http://images.statemaster.com/images/fotw/u/us-vt).gif
I'm learning. And liking what I see. As an educator I have been inclined to dissuade students from using wikipedia, but am coming around.
Jim GearedBull
Hi Micky,
Hey, not sure if my last message went out or not. My system sort of froze up for a bit and I could not log back on for a bit.
The gist of what I typed folows:
Not intending to be a smart aleck but the seal, as opposed to the coat of arms doesn't appear in color officially. I think Deb Markowitz, secreatary of stae for Vermont would back up that it is a single color device. I really do like the seal, it was deisgned by Ira Allen, and is refreshingly differnet from most others. Perhaps a trifle naïve in design but a nice device. It was designed to have dies cut for embossing so it is high contrast line art not showing shafiding or multiple colors.
If you take a look at the staes of Maine, California, Michigan, you note more of a full color with shading and dpeth sort of treatment. these though labled "seals" are all heraldically like a coat of arms. If we look at nations, like the Netherlands, UK, Canda, we see coats of arms. American civic heraldry is different. Vermont like many of our older east coast states has a coat of arms that is described by a statute, what can be called a blazon. Because vermont's coat of arms is so great I would love to see it used somewhere. Maybe as an illustration on the Vermont page, and as its own entry. If the word "Seal" in the sidebar is boiler plate and can not be changed to coat of arms, could we use a solis dark green or medium gray without the color? And, possibly use the more colorful coat of arms, for the state links at botom of page.
It's a thought. I grew up in Vermont. I see you are from Enlgand. What part? I am doing a signage and branding project in Sevenoaks, Kent at present.
Best,
Jim
Seal update
Hi. the seal looks great on the Vermont page, could it be migrated to the Seal of Vermont page too?
Thanks.

Vermont State Seal
hi Mick, I too k the initiative and replaced the grayscale version on the Seal of Vermont page.

I think its beautiful!!
Hi! I just wanted to let you know that I think that the photos are beautiful. I use to live on that road myself, about 3/4 of a mile up. You actaully probably know my parents and grandparents. I was born and raised in Tunbridge and left after 25 years. I miss it very much. I now live in Maine, which is also a very beautiful state, but not home. Thank you for giving me a piece of home away from home!

Image:Thomas P Salmon.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Thomas P Salmon.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
- On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Chowbok ☠ 03:14, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Official State House portraits
Hi Mick Maguire. Thanks. I take your suggestion. I am trying to take a few portraits each time I head up to Montpelier. Lighting is difficult. I will eventually also rewrite the Stae House article with an emphasis on architecture and Dave Schutz great work. have collect a lot sources and images and will get it up in the next few weeks. I also look out for CDVs (carte de visistes) for the nineteenth century governors. most had them, and they scan well. So, where I can't get the oficial portrait I will try for that. Best, Jim CApitol3 19:50, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
Howard Dean official state house portrait
Hi MickMazguire, I think I've got a proper license here, I am curious about your take? Thanks. CApitol3 01:38, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the response. I've seen many post 1923 pieces of art here. I think the problem with my last licensing attempt was that I was presenting it as my having the copyright, which was not correct, or my intent. I see the Deane C. Davis (post 1923) has, so far, survived. Maybe we can just watch here. It seems that use of an official state portrait, created to mark the service of a publicly elected official, and the portrait being publicly available, to illustrate an article on a recent governor of Vermont is reasonable.

Island Pond vs Montpelier
Me? Hypocritical? Inconsistent?
Quite possibly!
My thought in Island Pond is that it waw a long term decision by the general public (not a zoning board, or whatever). The town is actually listed as a "speed trap" in some listing available nationwide. I've tried to tone down detractors from tossing in snide remarks about the constable, unsupported by actual references, though I have the uncomfortable feeling that they are correct and deliberately avoid driving there myself.
An incident that is definitely be too small for Montpelier may be a defining issue for Island Pond IMO, but I could be wrong. There are kind of escalating standards as the size of the town goes up. Some admins might agree with you, I admit. It's about the only thing going on in town! Might be a marathoners meet or hikers meet, but that's about it. Montpelier is a pretty big deal without having to scrape the bottom of the barrel like this.
Still, a web warning about the town - the only one in the NEK. Student7 21:48, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:WxWidgetsBlocks2.gif)
Thanks for uploading Image:WxWidgetsBlocks2.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:45, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
License tagging for Image:Lawrence_Brainerd.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Lawrence_Brainerd.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.
For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 02:12, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

2019 US Banknote Contest
US Banknote Contest | ||
---|---|---|
November-December 2019 | ||
There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of United States banknotes, yet only a fraction of these are represented on Wikimedia Commons in the form of 2D scans. Additionally, Colonial America, the Confederate States, the Republic of Texas, multiple states and territories, communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons. In the months of November and December, WikiProject Numismatics will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the 2019 US Banknote Contest. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on all Wikimedia projects. Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive awards. Whether you want to claim the Gold Wiki or you just want to have fun, all are invited to participate. If you do not want to receive invitations to future US Banknote Contests, follow the instructions here |
