Update

Alot has happend in the last few months we have have serveral riots, and the goverment has cracked down. We had all telecomunicatins with the outside world cut for a couple of weeks. I lost my computer to a power issue, people keep cutting the powerlines in protest and I just got a new one so I'm back.

How do I help

I live in the jungle of Belize, Central America. I am well educated but not knowledgeable about correct names of various plants and animals I take picutres of. I take pictures of what intrest me and have a large collection but no ideal of prper names. I know the pictures would enhance wikipedia but don't know how to post em properly. For example I have on of a multicolore lizard have no Ideal of it's scientific name so can't post it. General stuff I can do like pictures of goverment buildings, villages, and such and I have started doing so. I also will take pics by request if you explain what you want.

Flora & Fauna

Requests

If you could manage to get a nice photo of a tapir, that would be nice. Our current photo shows one lying down. One walking around could be useful. --Dante Alighieri | Talk 21:09, 8 Feb 2004 (UTC)

No problem if nothing else I'll run to the Zoo and take one Tuesday as I have to go to the city anyway and it's on the way. I haven't seen any on my property yet but have seen signs of em in the local jungle. Tommorow I have some workers comeing to help cut some brush so I can run a road to my building site so I can't do it tommrow hope this is fast enough response.

Hehe, tomorrow is VERY fast. I would have expected you to get around to it when you get a chance. None of the requests here are going to be very urgent. I mean, if it takes you a few months, it takes you a few months. No one's in a hurry. Thanks again. :) --Dante Alighieri | Talk 21:51, 8 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for all the photos you've uploaded. They're great! I've added some to articles. See Howler monkey, Basiliscus lizard genus, Heliconia, Harpy Eagle and Leafcutter ant for example. Angela . 02:16, Feb 9, 2004 (UTC)

Mayan Ruins

starting a new section off the main belize page on Mayan runis in Belize the first of which I have pics for is XUNANTUNICH.

Added new pics

added several new pics

Pictures

Good job on the pictures. I noticed that some of the pictures you have are identified. You might want to edit articles and add the pictures of plants and animals that you can identify to their respective article pages. Also, someone has registered concern over the pages in this series Plants_and_animals_of_Belize. If you would write an article on that page giving an overview, it would sure help. :) CryptoDerk 15:58, Aug 28, 2004 (UTC)

Please write on users talk pages, not their main pages. The concern regarding the pictures was minor -- a casual mention on the IRC channel. I was just suggesting that you might want to write something up on them. If you are taking pictures solely for the purpose of other users posting them on pages, then it may not be the best idea to put those as part of the main encyclopedia. The best thing to do would be to put them on your user page (or create a subpage of your user page, such as User:Belizian/photos and then post a message in Wikipedia:Village pump saying that you have pictures for other people to use.

Nobody is mad at you, and we all most definitely appreciate the great work and good pictures, but if you put them on your user page and then posted in Wikipedia:Village pump then a lot more people would find them and be able to use them. CryptoDerk 16:54, Aug 28, 2004 (UTC)

Iv'e been hanging them off of Belize page beacuse they are all taken in Belize and concering things in Belize. I'm hopeing to make kind of a virtual zoo of Belize, therefore It will only have pics of things that are in Belize though they may also be elsewhere. Main thing is I find it tedious to post to wiki though I love the concept and I'm trying my best to contribute when and as I can. Belizian 17:48, 28 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Response

Where can I review this reqistered concern? Basicaly I take pictures I'm not a writer. I use this page to post my pics for others to identify and use in their articals. Putting them in one place like this makes it easier on me and since I'm giveing this pics to the world free I'd appreciate a little tolarence on this issue but if it's a big deal I'm willling to discuss it.

Copyright tags

You're doing a fine job. But, for a matter of record, you have to put a copyright tag on your images. This can be done on the discussion page of each image. Since you are giving away your images, the best copyright tag would be {{GFDL}}, or 'GNU FDL Free Doc License'. This is necessary, otherwise in the future your images could be refused because of lack of a copyright tag. By the way, I have used already one of your images, the one identified as Alpinia purpurata. I have included it in the article about Alpinia. One request : a picture of the habit of the plant (= the whole plant) would be welcome, as well as a close-up of one of the leaves. When done, you can put a message on my discussion page. JoJan 20:30, 30 Aug 2004 (UTC)

The Alpinia picture (Red Ginger) is on Flora page 1. By the way, messages belong on the Talk pages, not on the User pages. And messages should be signed by 4 tildes, like this ~~~~. And never mind all these remarks, everybody, including me, had to go through the learning stage. And when taking pictures of plants, make a habit of taking several pictures : a) the whole plant b) the inflorescence c) a flower (if possible in macro) d) a branch or stem with the foliage (especially if there are a pinnate leaves) e) a closeup of a leaf, showing the margin (if possible in macro). When uploading the pictures, you link them with the same caption but with a different number such as red.flower.1.jpg, red.flower.2.jpg etc... With the different images of the same plant, you can help us describing the plant in detail. And keep up the good works ! JoJan 08:09, 31 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Another request

Could you be so kind to make some pictures of an Anthurium plant. There are very few photos of them in the public domain. These plants grow in tropical America, from Mexico down. So, I suppose, they must also occur in Belize. And, if possible, make several photos of each plant (full habit, leaf, flower, details..). Give me a sign on my talk page when you succeed. Good Luck JoJan 20:43, 2 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Bird requests

It's very kind of you to offer to take photgraphs! Two pictures that I would like are a Turkey Vulture showing the silver-gray undersides of the flight feathers, and a Short-tailed Hawk. Any chance you could get those? Let me know if I can help you figure out which birds these are. —JerryFriedman 21:07, 12 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I'd also be interested in any photos of birds, jimfbleak 07:03, 13 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Hi. Sorry to take so long—I didn't notice your reply on my user page (instead of my talk page). Yes, photographing wild birds is usually very hard! And you need that long lens. But if you get any bird at the zoo or a feeder or wherever, especially if it doesn't already have a photograph in Wikipedia, please let me or jimfbleak know. —JerryFriedman 00:35, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Your image

Hey there, is it possible for you to supply a larger resolution version of Image:Belize30.jpg? It is currently up for featured picture nomination. A larger version would make it more likely to pass as it shows more detail. Thanks, [[User:Solitude|Solitude\^talk]] 10:11, Nov 23, 2004 (UTC)

Black Puma

I did take the picture and it's free for use, I have larger versions of the pic if you want em, sorry about the camoflge but well I tried to talk him into standing up but then I wasn't about to argue with em as he could have riped me to shreds if I pissed him off.

:) That's quite funny. I guess that User:Fir0002 felt the same way with his Wolf Spider. Thanks for clarifying that you are the photographer. I've now modified the image page to state that explicitly - its really just a pedantic thing, that without source information or knowing who the copyright holder is, we don't exactly know that the GFDL tag is correct.

By the way, you are probably welcome to vote on WP:FPC if you want to. No one has really clarified whether these re-voting candidates could be considered self nominations or not. Either way you've clearly Wiki'd a good and useful collection of wildlife photographs. -- Solipsist 20:32, 26 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Current Events Story

Hi, I removed the story you posted on Current Events for several reasons:

The story didn't seem to belong on the date where you placed it. If the story was reported in a newspaper dated January 13th, it shouldn't be listed under the January 20th events.
I know this may be an important story in Belize, but (as far as I can tell) only one newspaper is carrying it and there are no hits on Google News. It doesn't appear to be of global importance, which is usually what it takes to be included on Current Events.
The summary was way too long. Two or three sentences is usually the maximum for a summary. If it wasn't for the first two points, I would have attempted to edit the summary instead of deleting.

For now, I'm going to remove the story, but if you can find more sources, please feel free to include a short summary and link on the correct date. Carrp 18:44, 20 Jan 2005 (UTC)

After I saw your content-enhancing photography of the Belizian protests on the Commons, I thought you might want to take a look at the Wikipedia Press Corps. Ground 01:08, 22 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Allright?

Are you ok down there? Waerth 13:33, 21 Jan 2005 (UTC)

I've spoken with him on IRC a few hours ago, he's as "safe" as one can get given the circumstances. He doesn't consider himself in any immediate danger. --Dante Alighieri | Talk 08:27, Jan 22, 2005 (UTC)

Interested in Belize

I have been interested in visiting Belize for a decade or so. Haven't had the local contact to coach me tho. I have a small sailboat that lives on a trailer and I sail extensively in the Florida Keys. I'd consider sailing past Cuba to Belize if I had some confidence on being able to leave it for a while as I traveled around the country. I sail, hike and camp extensively.

Perhaps we can chat sometime via mIRC as #masp or #belizian

Alternate is to use User talk:Masp and User talk:Belizian

or you may have better idea.

I noticed you were active in the #wikipedia just now.

you don't seem to have a talk page.

Re: Belize8.jpg

Can you supply any additional pictures and information about the Hippeastrum in this picture?

If there is anything you can say as to its location and whether it is a wild specimen (endemic) or is in cultivation (possibly from wild stock), that would be much appreciated.

belize8.jpg

Apprently during my adscence a ton of pics where removed because I didn't properly tag em. I still have em all but not with the same file names and I'm not sure which one you are talking about, if you can discribe the color and shape of it I can find the pic and repost and or take more.

He doesn't want his info online though I gives permisson for the use of the pic, he has given me more information but want's to wait til his death to provide it. Not sure why this is though, I will respect his wishes though. Belizian 14:05, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

OK, are you talking about information about him or about where and when the photo was. I can imagine it was a horrific experience for him to see that, as well as every thing else he saw in the war (assuming he was a soilder). Have a very good day, it is good though you have the information, that is wonderful. My Uncle, who was in the war, would not talk about it at all. Epson291 12:38, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Book

Hi - I'm reading Last Flight of the Scarlet Macaw which is a new book out about Belize and the Zoo Lady and the dam so I was really happy to see your pictures of wild Belizian Macaws, thanks. The book even made the front cover of the New York Times book review, I learned a lot about Belize.

Now you're down to just Flower 2

I was fortunate enough to know five of the six flowers for which you were asking for identification (the sixth is apparently known as the Black Orchid in Belize, but the names Clamshell Orchid and Cockleshell Orchid are more globally known; I cannot give you the name of the hibiscus species as double hibiscus are often hybrids). Due to time limitations (I was doing this at work along with a few dozen other things) I was unable to relink everything per your request, but at least it's to the point that it can be done. As for Flower 2 - I've seen it frequently grown in southeastern United States (I live near Miami), and if someone doesn't beat me to it, I'll have that one updated as soon as my memory returns. I hope this helps! 147.70.242.40 (talk) 23:46, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The media file you uploaded as File:Belize43.JPG appears to be missing information as to its authorship (and or source), or if you did provide such information, it is confusing for others trying to make use of the image.

It would be appreciated if you would consider updating the file description page, to make the authorship of the media clearer.

Although some images may not need author information in obvious cases, (such where an applicable source is provided), authorship information aids users of the image, and helps ensure that appropriate credit is given (a requirement of some licenses).

If you created this media yourself, please consider explicitly including your user name, for which: {{subst:usernameexpand|Belizian}} will produce an appropriate expansion,
or use the {{own}} template.

If this is an old image, for which the authorship is unknown or impossible to determine, please indicate this on the file description page.

If you have any questions please see Help:File page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 11:23, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:Holocaust01.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Holocaust01.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included.
