Fair use
All material under fair use is copyrighted to begin with. Each material under fair use claim must include a reason for fair use. Please review our rationale for fair use.

 * Fairold - For use with images from old sources where copyright may have expired but not quite old enough for this to be certain, but where use would be contended to be fair use if still subject to copyright (eg, advertising from companies that have been out of business for 50 + years).
 * Fairuse - for a copyrighted image which is contended to be fair use.
 * Albumcover - for album covers
 * AustraliaGov - for works under Crown Copyright by the Government of Australia.

 * Logo - for logos
 * hqfl_logos - for High Quality Football Logos.
 * Magazinecover - for magazine covers
 * TIME - for TIME covers
 * money - for images of the official currency of a country. These may be in the public domain, or they may not.
 * money-EU - for images of the official currency of the EU. These are copyrighted.
 * money-US - for images of the official currency of the US. These are ineligible for copyright, and therefore in the public domain.
 * Newspapercover - for newspaper covers
 * Philippines-fairuse - for images used under the fair use provision of Philippine copyright law.
 * Pokeimage - for Pokémon images
 * Poster - for poster images of reduced quality.
 * Promophoto - for promotional photos of people, e.g. headshots or posed shots
 * Screenshot - for screenshots of websites, software applications, films, television broadcasts and video games. Currently, no distinction is made between screenshots of proprietary programs and screenshots of free software. If the screenshot is of software showing a web page, then tag it with both  and.
 * film-screenshot - Screenshots from movies and television programs
 * game-screenshot - Screenshots of computer games and video games
 * software-screenshot - Screenshots of software
 * mac-software-screenshot - Screenshots of Macintosh software
 * web-screenshot - Screenshots of web pages

 * USPSstamp - for U.S. postage stamps after 1978
 * Video tape cover - for video tape cover images
 * YuGiOhimage - for Yu-Gi-Oh! images
 * Fairuseunsure - for when use of a unique image that would be public domain unless contended to be fair use depending upon if it is subject to copyright, but the copyright status cannot or is difficult to be determined. A rationale should be provided to support this conclusion of why it cannot be determined and fair use. ie. Public domain unless fair use. [ talk ]
 * fairuseunknownsource, shortened to fuus - for images where the source is not known but image is claimed to be fair use regardless.
 * PAphoto - For images from PA Photos.

 * unimage - for an image released by an agency of the United Nations.
 * Verifieduse - An approval process for fair use images has been proposed at Fair use. Images which have gone through that process carry this tag.

Yay Fair use!!!!!!!!! Redwolf24 03:18, 11 July 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the introduction
I have used Wikipedia and am starting to make a few contributions. I think I can add value in:

- Business - Rock Climbing - Flying - Michigan and related

I am still learning Wiki and plan to tread lightly until I am comfortable with proper Wikiquette.

Is this comment set up to go directly to your e-mail?

Best Regards, Ron Reed

 * K, we've been lacking on rock climbing. No it doesn't go to my email thhough while at my user page you can click E-mail this user. But that won't be neccisary. Also, please sign with ~ rather than Ron Reed. It'll leave your name so users can reply easier. Redwolf24 03:17, 11 July 2005 (UTC)

User Page
Redwolf24, your enthusiasm for this project is contagious, and I thank you for nudging me to create a user page. That's one of the little details I would have let sit undone for years. It's begun now (thanks to you) and hope to meet you again as we build this amazing resource together. Drop by anytime! -- ROYGBIV 04:55, July 11, 2005 (UTC)

Unanswered Questions
RE: Your Questions

I think I've answered them. See my talk page. Redwolf24 3 July 2005 06:41 (UTC)

Hi Redwolf,

My questions are repeated below. There weren't any answers on my Discussion page. If you feel the answers are on your pages somewhere then plase provide links to them -- there's no way to search your numerous answers quickly just as there's no way I can see to search Wikipedia for words or phrases that aren't actual entry titles.

Thanks in advance,

RE: Searching and Anchors

Hi Redwolf24, Thanks for the welcome. I actually joined Wikipedia a while back but hadn't logged in when I posted material. I wasn't sure why one even needed to log in, but now see that it allows users to follow the history somewhat more precisely. My current question is how one can search ALL of Wikipedia for a specific name, term, phrase to find out what's available. For example, if I wanted to search for Warren Burger, fomer Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, I'd probably find an individual listing for him. However, there might be no main entry for a person even though that person might be mentioned numerous times in articles about other things. And even if there is an entry for what you're looking for, there's no way to find all those other mentions unless links have already been established. Is there a way to do what I'm asking that I don't see? I'm also wondering how to get the same effect as the HTML anchor code which allows a user to jump directly to a specific spot on a page? Your command an id attribute inserts a hard return   when one inserts it in the middle of text, forcing one to use it at the beginning or end of a paragraph. --Snsnews 3 July 2005 06:28 (UTC)

Back at it
Hey Red, I finally made it back. Have you checked edit counts with Kate's tool lately? It still has me at 1515, which is where I was yesterday afternoon; that's way off from where I should be. Have we broken it with all our edit checking, or is it just me? -- Essjay ·  Talk 01:26, July 12, 2005 (UTC)

 * I've been at about 1020 for a while. Lemme check. Redwolf24 01:27, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

 * It says 1029. I'll check now if it says 1030. Redwolf24 01:29, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Nope its the same. Looks like its broken. Redwolf24 01:33, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

 * I emailed "Kate" about it; we'll see what she says. Hopefully, it's just a temporary thing...Without my edit-count fix, I may have to enter rehab! -- Essjay ·  Talk 01:57, July 12, 2005 (UTC)

 * You can always go to Special:Contributions/Essjay, the old fashioned way. Redwolf24 02:00, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Yeah, but then I'd have to actually count them myself...I'm too lazy for that! -- Essjay ·  Talk 02:04, July 12, 2005 (UTC)

 * Nooo just do 500's until you get to the last page, then click 100 til you get to the last page. It gives you a good estimate. Like I found Im at around 1200 now Redwolf24 02:05, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

Hey, I haven't welcomed anyone you have in over 24 hours! I just caught her "personal sandbox" coming through RC! (Although I did list one of the users you welcomed at RfC for a questionable username, and I just retracted my welcome from the talk page of a GNAA troll who's after Zscout and Evil Monkey) -- Essjay ·  Talk 09:19, July 12, 2005 (UTC)

Thanks so much for the welcome note. I appreciate it. --Jfulkerson 02:50, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

Thanks from Isaac
Hi, thanks for leaving me a message.

BTW, could you look at the pages Gormenghast and Gormenghast (novel)? I've been working on it. However, the trouble is, it's about a series of books known as the Gormenghast Series. But the second book is also called Gormenghast. Uberisaac

 * K, I'll take a quick look. Redwolf24 08:25, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

 * I don't see the problem. Just write the plot for the second book at the novel page and for the series at the main Gormenghast page. Redwolf24 08:42, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Thanks! Simple to you, but helpful advice to a newbie! Uberisaac

 * You're very welcome. You seem to be on the right track, I hope you become a valuable Wikipedian. Redwolf24 09:33, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

 * No problem. by the way, if interested, join WP:WC Redwolf24 09:47, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

Images
Another question (you've been helpful): Am I allowed to upload any images I find on Google to articles? I have been doing so, but I'm not sure about copyright. Uberisaac

Haha the whole image copyright thing drives me INSANE! Anywho look at this very talk page under Fair Use and use those tags on your images. If you're not sure about any of those just type fairuse. Redwolf24 09:44, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

WHOA! Hold on now. (I tried Red, I swear I did, but I just can't help myself!) If you aren't sure of the copyright status of an image, the best thing to do is to not upload it. Wikipedia can get into serious trouble if we violate copyrights. Fair use is an option, but only for certain types of copyrights, and if you're unsure, go to Fair use and ask first. For the full image policy, see Image use policy. -- Essjay ·  Talk 09:50, July 12, 2005 (UTC)

Pfffft. I'm not sure how Wikipedia could be sued for it considering its open content. All they'd do is get rid of the image. One thing I don't get is... it takes time and money to copyright stuff and the fact is, if National Geographic prints a picture of a Lemming, it doesnt mean they copyrighted it... Viva La Fair Use. Redwolf24 09:57, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

But it doesn't take time or money to copyright; it takes time and money to register a copyright. Under US law, every original creation is automatically copyrighted to the creator, and there is no requirement that the creator do anything to register or otherwise protect the copyright. If you choose to register your copyrights, then you get additional protection (including stautory damages) but you still are able to protect your copyright and sue for actual damages without registration.

I know because I'm a co-owner in a publishing company (I put up the cash, my partner does the work) and we just met with our attorney about this not a month ago. -- Essjay ·  Talk 10:02, July 12, 2005 (UTC)

 * Awright. But see, your company isn't free content. See what if I were National Geographic and I put loads of pictures on Wikipedia and then sued them for it? It wouldnt really work out. Just tell them to take the picture off or at worst, sue the user. Redwolf24 10:09, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

I hunted you down a primer on it: Copyright Basics from the U.S. Copyright Office -- Essjay ·  Talk 10:06, July 12, 2005 (UTC)

It would be different if National Geographic actually put the pictures on Wikipedia. They would have to click the disclaimer box, and that would release their copyright. However, if you take someoneelse's pictures and upload them, they haven't released thier copyright. Sure, it's not likely they will sue (or even find out, for that matter) but there is still the chance, so it's always best to be very sure of the status of any copyrighted images.

Whatever photographer took the image for NG automatically received a copyright; he either released the copyright to NG or licensed the image. When you took it and uploaded it, you infringed on the copyright (unless they released thier images, which is highly unlikely.) In the unlikely event that they decide to sue (and who knows, maybe thier owned by Britannica, and are just looking for a reason to sue) they could do us some damage. That would anger Almighty Jimbo, and we'd all end up in WikiHell. All I'm saying is, be careful, and caveat uploader. -- Essjay ·  Talk 10:17, July 12, 2005 (UTC)

 * Man, I love that lemming more than life itself. I hope it doesn't get deleted. Redwolf24 11:07, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

 * By the way, Now I understand some more on copyrighting at Wikipeda. :) Redwolf24 11:07, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

 * OH GOD! I spend my offline life educating people, and now I'm educating them here! Why? Why do I do it? (Ok, enough of the melodrama.) Looks like they blocked my troll, but one admin is offering to unblock him in exchange for a promise not to misbehave anymore. Sheesh... -- Essjay ·  Talk 11:11, July 12, 2005 (UTC)

 * Maybe theyll unblock User:Redwolf24isgay if he makes a featured article.... Redwolf24 11:13, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

Who knows! -- Essjay ·  Talk 11:15, July 12, 2005 (UTC)

Troll
Okay, so forget the copyright thing...Looks like I've finally scored a troll of my very own: Special:Contributions/JacksonBrown. If any of the admins ever get over to Administrator intervention against vandalism maybe he'll get blocked. -- Essjay ·  Talk 10:33, July 12, 2005 (UTC)

 * I want my own troll :( wait I have one. And it seems he died. I fear he'll be back though :-/ Redwolf24 11:43, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

P.S. Talrias seemed confused by my Black Sabbath award, haha. Redwolf24 11:43, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

 * I noticed that. Don't worry, your troll (at least, under that username) is permablocked. He won't be back. Mine, on the other hand, is only blocked for 24 hours, so I'm sure I'll see him again soon. I've got to get to 2000 edits so I can get the block power! -- Essjay ·  Talk 11:46, July 12, 2005 (UTC)

 * >xD Redwolf24 11:57, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

Oh, by the way, I "got" my troll by welcoming him; he turned out to be a GNAA member. The way you welcome people, you ought to have ten or twelve by now! -- Essjay ·  Talk 11:58, July 12, 2005 (UTC)

 * Ah, it looked like the face he made at the end of the Southpark movie when he was fighting Saddam. Now, what am I supposed to be looking for on your userpage? The lemming lifted via legal loophole? -- Essjay ·  Talk 12:24, July 12, 2005 (UTC)

Go here to get the whacking stick added! Redwolf24 12:22, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

No, Look at the link I put up. Redwolf24 12:28, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

 * The link to my "cult" page? (BTW, I went and added to your Barnstar proposal). -- Essjay ·  Talk 12:37, July 12, 2005 (UTC)

OH, I GET IT NOW. I thought "let me fetch the link" --> Redwolf24 meant "look at Redwolf24". You actually meant, look at the barnstar proposal. Now I feel dumb... -- Essjay ·  Talk 12:39, July 12, 2005 (UTC)

Haha. By the way, MathKnight CREATED the image from scratch. I told him about the whole award. Redwolf24 12:40, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Yeah, I figured that out after I hit save. I knew he wasn't one of the ones chasing the horde. (And I have to tell you, every time I think about it, I get visions of you & NickBush being chased by a horde of viking pillagers, with me, Zscout, & Evil Monkey chasing them...) ; - ) -- Essjay ·  Talk 12:49, July 12, 2005 (UTC)

 * Damn them Norsemen hating on me and Nicko. Redwolf24 12:51, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

Alright, while the Norsemen are asleep, I'm going to go get some offline work done. I'm somewhere over 1800 now, in case you care, so we'll be doing an RFA soon...

I'll see you later, and by the way, if your lemming dies, I promise I'll get you a new one. -- Essjay ·  Talk 13:08, July 12, 2005 (UTC)

 * Hooray! I'm so glad your lemming was spared! Although, at some point, it has to commit suicide, doesn't it? -- Essjay ·  Talk 14:35, July 12, 2005 (UTC)

OK
Sorry I accused you of cropping ... looking at Image:Lemming.jpg vs. the URL cited in the copyvio tag, it seemed that the source information had been removed. Probably it was simply absent in whichever version of the image you uploaded. Anyway, didn't mean to cast any aspersions on you. Happy editing! -- Visviva 13:00, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

 * No problem :) ah well I hope that lemming doesnt die but if its copyright its copyright. Redwolf24 13:01, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Actually the copyvio tag was added by User:Head... I just happened by because I had watchlisted the image at some point (I can't for the life of me imagine why). Anyway, no harm intended.  Carry on! -- Visviva 13:19, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

 * I went by your lemming and did a photo analysis on the talk page; I determined them to be similar but different images and removed the copyvio tag. As far as I can tell, they weren't listed on the copyvio page, so no harm, no foul. -- Essjay ·  Talk 17:52, July 12, 2005 (UTC)

YAYYYYYYY! Exir, I'll leave you a note and you can be the second to vote for me, but I already promised Red that he could be the nominator. (Hence why I want to nominate him...) I'd better go start answering those questions!

As for articlespace edits, I have quite a few (the still broken Kate's toll says 299, and that was a couple days ago) and of those, many are full blown rewrites, because I do most of my editing in my sandboxes and with the preview button. I'd guess that if you added in my sandbox edits and preview use, I probably have somewhere around 750 articlespace edits. (Yeah, I use preview that much.) -- Essjay ·  Talk 11:12, July 13, 2005 (UTC)

I saw some of the links (I have several of those people on my watchlist); thank you for that too. And I'm honored to hear you say I'm you WBF. I agree that all we can do is pray, so: Almighty and Ever-Editing Jimbo, we do well always and everywhere to give you thanks and praise...From age to age, you call your editors together, so that from East to West, a perfect Wikipedia may be created to your glory...Lord Jimbo, you said to your editors: I leave you peace, my peace I give you. Look not on my WikiSins, but on the good faith of my edits, and grant my RfA the peace and unity of your Wikipedia where you live for ever and ever...Deliver us, Jimbo, from every edit conflict, and grant us peace in our day. In your mercy, keep us free from POV, and protect us from needless anxiety...All this we ask in the name of the one Wiki, which is with you and with us, NPOV, forever and ever. Amen"

(Wiki)Stress
Thanks for asking - it was (is) a combination of Wiki- and non-Wikistress. I was (am) stressed at Requests for adminship/William M. Connolley - it really bothers me that someone who I see as working really hard for the integrity of Wikipedia is being voted down because of the actions which were very much for the benefit of the project...in some cases by the disruptive users who are trying to insert POV material into Wikipedia, and in other cases because of an ArbComm decisions which I think was a totally inappropriate decision (since William was given revert parole in the absence of findings of fact against him by the ArbComm). Couple that with dealing with troublesome users and I was pretty much on edge when a bomb when off in my home country...terrorism is nothing but news until it hits a spot you know - my father walked past the place the bomb went off in what appears to be the interval between when it was placed there and when it went off. On the grand scheme of things it was small, but it was finally real. So after that I found myself losing it at a person who was an annoying editor, and I decided that I was too stressed to edit Wikipedia. So I took a day or two off...of course "time off" is probably more effective if yoiu stop watching your watchlist, but promising myself not to edit really put things into perspective. Things are far less stressful if you can't hit the [edit this page] tab :) Anyway, thanks very much for asking.  Guettarda 13:39, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

Thanks and a question
Thank you for the welcome message. I do have a question. What is the difference between the page "User Talk: Neutron" where your message appeared, and the page "User: Neutron" for which there is no actual page? In other words when I log in, and click on my user name at the top of the screen, I get a page that says there is no page named "User: Neutron," but if I click on my talk, I get the page with your message. What is the diffrence?

Thanks for your help.

 * Since you're away at the moment, I got this one. -- Essjay ·  Talk 18:46, July 13, 2005 (UTC)

 * Hummm. I do have many of the traits of a stalker...I'm going with WikiFriend, though, since I don't troll you, and I've now found hundreds of my own new users to welcome! Actually, my welcome template was messed up for about 75 welcomes today, and another user actually went through 50 of them and fixed it! I couldn't believe it!

 * Really, you're on my watchlist, so I see whenever your page gets edited; how else am I supposed to chase the horde of Norsemen after you? Oh, and by the way, don't think that putting that comment in small type over at the RfA made it any harder for me to see it! I know you were picking on the neutrals! Bad Red, bad! ; - ) -- Essjay ·  Talk 00:19, July 14, 2005 (UTC)

 * I know...When I put my "please don't bite the opposers" note, I was thinking of TenOfAllTrades' RfA, where Everyking & Boothy443 were bashed into the ground for voting oppose;I was just having a little fun Red-bashing (not redbaiting, mind you). ; - ) -- Essjay ·  Talk 00:39, July 14, 2005 (UTC)

1st Council of the North-West Territories

The 1st Council of the North-West Territories, also known as the North-West Council in Canada, lasted from October 7, 1876, to 1888. It was created as a permanent replacement to the Temporary North-West Council which existed prior to 1876.

A 2nd Council of the North-West Territories was elected in 1888. It was replaced in 1891 by the 1st North-West Assembly when the quota of elected members was reached.

(A different 2nd Council of the Northwest Territories (1905-1951) was created in 1905, when the NWT lost most of its population, to differentiate the new one from the two legislative councils of the NWT that had existed 1876 to 1891.)

Early history and development
The first members of the new council were appointed under the Northwest Territories Act and consisted of the Lieutenant Governor, appointed men and Stipendiary Magistrates. Elected representatives were added later and could join the council if an area of 1000 sqmi had 1000 people an electoral district could be set up. This created a patchwork of represented and unrepresented areas, and there was no official or independent boundaries commission; all electoral law at the beginning was under the purview of the Lieutenant Governor.

Three electoral districts were created in 1881 and for an unknown reason writs were only issued in the district of Lorne which returned the first elected member Lawrence Clarke.

Electors participating in the Northwest Territories elections did not vote by secret ballot until the 1893 Whitewood by-election.

Early sessions
When the first council formed under the new appointed government in 1876, the council consisted of the lieutenant governor who acted as the chairman (speaker), and two appointed members. Because a quorum could not be maintained, the council had to be adjourned if one member went to the washroom.

Elections
Numerous elections took place during the period of 1876–1891 - 11 separate by-elections electing one or two members, 9 by-elections held on one day in September 1885 (1885 Northwest Territories election), and the 1888 North-West Territories general election.

The election of 1885 took place on September 15, 1885. The election saw 11 members in 9 new districts returned to the council, due to high rate of population growth in the North-west Territories at the time.

After the 1885 election, elected members became the majority in the council vis a vis the appointed members, although they had to fight to wrest control from the "colonial" officials. It became a full assembly.

The other elections, other than the 1888 general election, are not considered general elections, as there was no dissolution of the assembly - not all the members were up for election. However, after three years from an election, a district had to have another election - the seat was declared empty to be filled in an election.

Chris Townson

Chris Townson (24 July 1947 – 10 February 2008) was an English musician, illustrator and social worker. He was a founding member of the 1960s rock group John's Children, and a member of several other bands, including Jook, Jet and Radio Stars. He replaced The Who's Keith Moon on drums on a 1967 UK tour after Moon had injured himself, and he jammed with Jimi Hendrix at the Speakeasy rock club in London. Later in his life Townson quit the music business and became an illustrator and a highly respected social worker.

Early life
Chris Townson was born in Battersea, London on 24 July 1947. He was abandoned by his parents at the age of four, and spent his early childhood in foster care. In 1958, after passing the entrance exam, the London County Council sent Townson to the Stoatley Rough School in Haslemere, Surrey, where he was resident for two years. In the early 1960s, Townson attended Box Hill School, also in Surrey, and there he met Andy Ellison.

John's Children
In 1965 Townson and Ellison formed a band called the Clockwork Onions, which later became The Few, and then The Silence. The band was Townson (drums), Ellison (vocals), Geoff McClelland (guitar) and John Hewlett (bass guitar). Townson invited The Yardbirds' manager Simon Napier-Bell to see The Silence perform, and while Napier-Bell thought they were "dreadful", he was impressed by their antics and agreed to manage them. He changed the group's name to John's Children and said they should make their act "as outrageous as possible" to attract the attention of the press. The band was named after their bass player because he played so badly and Napier-Bell wanted to be sure the band would not fire him. In March 1967 Marc Bolan joined John's Children and Napier-Bell signed them with Track Records, which included artists like The Who and The Jimi Hendrix Experience. John's Children released several singles, including "Desdemona", which was banned by the BBC because of its lyrics. Their live act, according to Townson, was "theatre", "anarchy" and "deconstruction". They fought each other on stage, used chains, fake blood and feathers, and they trashed their instruments. In general the band "whip[ped] the audience into a frenzy".

In April 1967 John's Children went on a tour of Germany with The Who, also notorious for their own wild stage performances. But John's Children were sent home early because they "upstaged" The Who, and their act in Ludwigshafen caused a riot in the audience, which nearly prevented The Who from playing. A few months later, however, The Who called on Townson's services when their drummer Keith Moon had injured himself demolishing his own drum kit on stage. Townson drummed with The Who, his "all time favourite band", in four of their concerts in June 1967. But The Who got their revenge on Townson for John's Children's "reckless behaviour" on the German tour: at the end of his last gig with them, they "blew [him] off the stage" with flash powder.

John's Children split up in late 1967 after only 18 months, but in that short period of time they had achieved a "cult status".

Later life
Townson played in several groups after John's Children, including Jook, Jet and Radio Stars. In the late 1970s Townson quit the music business and built a successful career illustrating album covers and books. Later, and for health reasons, he studied to be a social worker, and worked with the National Children's Home, becoming director of its Phoenix Project. It was Townson's own difficult childhood and the help he had received from social workers at the time that gave him an "innate understanding" of the children's circumstances.

Townson rejoined John's Children when they reformed in the late 1990s for the occasional tour, and recorded a single with them in 2006. He also played on all of (former Jet member) Martin Gordon's solo albums, and also illustrated a book which accompanied one of them, entitled The Illustrated and Annotated 'God's on His Lunchbreak, Please Call Back' Companion Volume.

Death
Townson died of cancer in London on 10 February 2008. He was married twice and fathered four daughters and a son.

Influences
Notwithstanding the Beatlemania that was sweeping the country at the time, Townson and Ellison were more interested in the rhythm and blues sound of The Rolling Stones, The Yardbirds and The Who. When Townson saw The Who perform, he said in a magazine interview some years later, "that was it, it was this that I wanted to do!"

Jeonse

Jeonse, also known as chŏnse, key money deposit or key money, is a type of lease or deposit common in the South Korean real estate market. Instead of paying monthly rent, a renter will make a lump-sum deposit on a rental space, at anywhere from 50% to 80% of the market value, which is then returned at the end of the lease term. The owners make profit from reinvesting the jeonse deposit, instead of receiving the monthly rent. It is also possible to combine a lower jeonse with a small monthly rent.

Operation
Jeonse involves the tenant giving the landlord a large sum of "key money" when a lease is signed. The amount of money required depends on the economy and the location of the property. Usually, the amount required is 50% of the property's value but can be as high as 60-80%. In 2014, it was reported that the average cost of a jeonse in Seoul equals almost $300,000 USD. The tenant is then allowed to stay in the property "rent-free", not requiring any additional monthly payments, until the end of the lease, which is usually 2 years. Utilities and other costs (water, gas, electricity, cable, phone, internet, security) are applied for and paid by the tenant.

This system is popular with both consumers and landlords. First, there are very few mortgages in South Korea, so it is difficult for consumers to own a home. Also, real estate prices continue to increase so fast that some see the situation as a housing bubble. The landlord makes a return by taking the deposit money and investing it and keeping all interest earned on the deposit. The tenant's deposit is protected by having a lien issued against the property for the amount given. The entire deposit is then returned to the tenant at the end of the lease. The landlord can treat the deposit as a 0% interest rate loan to invest into other capital, which made jeonse especially desirable in the 20th century when interest rates were very high.

During times of lower interest rates, (월세), or monthly rent, is more often used. With a lease, a renter signs a lease for 1 or 2 years and makes a deposit on the apartment equal to perhaps 10% of the market value. The renter then pays monthly rent. In rare cases where damage has been done to the property, the damage has to be fixed to the landlord's standard before a landlord will return the deposit.

Origin
The jeonse system has origins tracing back over a century in Korea, some claim the arrangement began in the 19th century, spurred on by a treaty with Japan, but it became more popular and what it's known as today in the late 20th century, particularly in the 1960s and 1970s. The system was seen as a solution to a shortage of mortgages, spurred on by high-interest rates, which dampens economic activity. This situation was compounded by the rapid urbanization and rural flight occurring, increasing the demand for urban housing. Jeonse facilitated economic development without traditional lending means, enabling urban growth.

Contemporary
The 20th-century era of high-interest rates and a shortage of mortgages is receding. South Korean interest rates for over a decade have remained low, at or under 3 percent. This has made the system less integral and beneficial to property developers than it once was, and has encouraged the increase in popularity of renting, wolse, rather than deposits. The newfound low interest rates have somewhat reversed the dynamic of jeonse, with now many tenants taking out loans for the deposit rather than savings, the interest on the loans each month can often be less than market-rate rent. However, this also means that rate hikes hurt jeonse, rather than help it as it originally did, since now it's the tenants who are borrowing money and therefore benefit from low rates.

Policy changes
The government has made active efforts to attempt to shift the housing market away from jeonse and towards wolse, increasing tax benefits to renters, such as tax credits, and removing some financial support from those who still opt for jeonse. In April 2022, monthly wolse contracts surpassed jeonse contracts for the first time, with renting at 50.4% and jeonse at 49.6%. Recent decreases in jeonse market share are due to increasing interest rates during COVID-19 recovery, and government policy.

Risks
As jeonse tenants are not obligated to pay any monthly rent, it may lead them to believe that jeonse is a great deal in all aspects. However, there is a certain level of risks of which the tenants shall be aware for leasing an apartment by jeonse.

Rising housing market
Jeonse tenants are taking a financial short position in the housing market. When the apartment price goes down the amount of jeonse deposit goes down proportionally, although this may not always be the case. In such circumstances, the tenants will get the difference back when they renew the lease, at least in theory. However, if their landlords fail to provide the difference either with their own money or by taking a loan, the tenants are left with a few difficult options such as a lawsuit. On the other hand, when the apartment price goes up the deposit may go up as well, and the tenants shall fill the gap when they renew the lease.

During times of expansion in the housing market, or in cases of excess demand, there can be large hikes in the percentage of the property's value that the tenant must pay. This has been characterized as a crisis in the past, namely in the 1990s, where over a dozen people were driven to suicide in the face of these increases in deposit prices. Such extreme cases have been fixed in the past by large increases in the supply of housing.

Variable interest rates
It is a common practice that jeonse tenants have the deposit ready by taking a loan from a bank due to the sheer amount of the deposit. If they take a loan with a variable annual percentage rate (APR), which is fairly common, they are exposed to the risk of rising interest rates. However, banks can provide a very low APR (2-4%) as the deposit may be taken as collateral.

According to the latest report by the Bank of Korea, the bank's household loan balance as of the end of December last year was 98.8 trillion won. Compared to the end of December 2019, there is an increase of 10 trillion won, the largest since 2004.

Dishonest landlords
Some landlords may have a large amount of overdue taxes. In such cases, the government may put the apartment up for auction in an attempt to collect the overdue taxes. When the apartment is sold, the government collects the overdue profits from the auction. Since national tax (국세) and local tax (지방세) take a higher priority than the tenants, they may lose some or all of their deposit, depending on how much their landlords owe the government.

Clemens Klotz

Clemens Klotz (31 May 1886 – 18 August 1969) was one of Adolf Hitler's architects.

Despite being a former member of the banned Deutsche Werkbund, Klotz joined the NSDAP and was appointed a professor by Hitler. After beginning his career focusing on residential designs in the Cologne area, Klotz received a series of prestigious commissions from the National Socialist (Nazi) Party's German Labor Front (DAF). Some of the most memorable of these commissions included the elite Nazi Party educational complexes at Ordensburg Krössinsee, Ordensburg Vogelsang and Chiemsee; Prora, the massive Nazi Kraft durch Freude seaside spa on the island of Rügen; a new domed train station for Munich; and plans for the complete design of Cologne.

Feel free to remove my <!-- --> comment on this page if you have evidence. A bit of history may help: Category:MR layout cars was originally a list, List of MR Cars, but the list was AfD'd and consensus was to make it into a category. I did the conversion by hand, and placed a comment whenever the article didn't mention that the car had an MR layout (hopefully eventually encouraging better sourcing eventually). To prevent future doubts, it may be a good idea to make sure that the article's also in Category:Rear wheel drive vehicles and Category:Mid-engined vehicles. --ais523 10:00, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

"Mr. Deity"
The article "Mr. Deity" has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article seemed to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. NawlinWiki 18:31, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

3D rendering
Hello,

remembering your excellent rendering of the RQ-170 Sentinel, do you think that you could find the time to reiterate your achievements with the Sukhoi PAK FA?

Cheers! Rama (talk) 10:16, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Rama; Firstly thank you for your esteem. Secondly this is a gracious request from someone who originally illustrated the RQ-170 article. I am not finished with the RQ-170 model/illustration yet; I am desperately trying to get a copy of the February issue of Combat Aircraft Monthly which has a new series of exclusive photos of the vehicle, and I know my representation falls a bit short of what I believe to be Wikipedia standards at this point. The Sukhoi_PAK_FA looks exponentially more difficult to model. Your faith in my skills flatters me. The article of course ideally would have an illustration soon. The image in the article at this time seems clearly copyright infringement. (I am quite sure a model derived from various copyrighted images and rendered from a different angle is not copyright infringement or original research, as almost anyone can look at the model and the images and see that they clearly resemble each other.) I am wondering if the PAK FA is significant, it looks highly derivative of the F-22 Raptor which itself has been in development for two decades and has all but been canceled. truthdowser (talk) 21:54, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I notice that the photo used for the Russian language Wiki on the Sukhoi PAK FA is from the manufacturer's own publicity for the aircraft. http://www.sukhoi.org/news/company/?%20id=3142 Would that not be considered fair use? truthdowser (talk) 22:25, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes it would, but the core of the matter is precisely to replace Fair Use images with Free ones. The non-Free policy states "Non-free media may be used in articles only if: (...) It's used for a purpose that can't be fulfilled by free material (text or images, existing or to be created)" (my emphasis). A replacement is thus not only desirable, but required by the policy.
 * It seems that there is enough documentation available for an isometric view to be created, I'll give it a try as I did with the Sentinel, maybe with more accuracy this time. This all reinforces my long-frustrated desire to achieve some proficiency with Blender. Thank you and cheers! Rama (talk) 12:11, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of David Brody (correspondent)

The article David Brody (correspondent) has been proposed for deletion  because of the following concern:
 * No evidence of notability

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. ~ Charmlet -talk- 23:19, 11 September 2013 (UTC)

RQ-170
Hi Truthdowser, just noticed your models of the RQ-170. Great stuff and very useful to wikipedia. In case you have time to do some further models for wikipedia, it could be very useful to some pages. I specifically have some UFO pages in mind, where there are good indications of the sighted craft, but no free pictures. If you ever have time, energy or interest in these, please let me know.

Lincoln Saltdogs

The Lincoln Saltdogs are a professional baseball team based in Lincoln, Nebraska, in the United States. The Saltdogs are in the American Association of Professional Baseball, an official Partner League of Major League Baseball. Since the 2001 season, the Saltdogs have played their home games at Haymarket Park, which they share with the Nebraska Cornhuskers college baseball team.

History
The Saltdogs were formed when the Madison Black Wolf were sold and moved to Lincoln after the 2000 season. The team was a member of the Northern League from 2001 to 2005. After the 2005 season, the Saltdogs (along with the St. Paul Saints, Sioux City Explorers, and Sioux Falls Canaries) left the Northern League to form the American Association.

The Saltdogs claimed their first league title in 2009, winning the American Association championship. Their overall regular-season record was 49–47, but Lincoln went 27–21 to claim the second-half North Division title and advanced to the championship by defeating the first-half North Division champion Wichita Wingnuts in the division series, three games to two. The Saltdogs then claimed the title by defeating the South Division champion Pensacola Pelicans three games to two, with game five decided by a 2–1 score at Pelican Park in Pensacola.

Lincoln celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2010, and the team secured its fourth berth in the playoffs over the prior five seasons. The Saltdogs finished with a 51–45 overall record, the seventh time in ten years Lincoln reached the 50-win plateau, and the ninth time in ten seasons that the team finished above the .500 mark. Although the Saltdogs did not win a division title in 2010, their overall record was still good enough for them to qualify for the postseason via a wild card berth. Lincoln has earned four wild-card playoff berths in its history, with the first three (2001, 2002, and 2005) coming during the team's Northern League days.

The Saltdogs made the playoffs in each of their first two years in the American Association. In both 2006 and 2007, they finished with the league's best overall regular-season record, winning three of the four North Division titles (both the first-half and second-half titles in 2006, and the first-half title in 2007). Their 14-game winning streak in 2007 is the longest in team history. The Saltdogs had the best overall record (272–204) of any team in the first five years of the American Association.

Kash Beauchamp was the first manager in Saltdogs history, although his tenure lasted just 42 games into the 2001 season, during which the team went 21–21 (.500). Pitcher Les Lancaster replaced Beauchamp, guiding Lincoln to playoff berths in both 2001 and 2002. Lancaster served as a player-manager for the first ten days of his managing tenure before moving exclusively to the bench. He led the team to a regular-season record of 86–53 (.619) and a postseason record of 6–7. After the 2002 season, Lancaster departed and was replaced by former Toronto Blue Jays manager Tim Johnson. Johnson spent six seasons with the Saltdogs, compiling a 314–252 (.555) regular-season record and a 2–9 postseason record. Lincoln made the playoffs three times under Johnson (2005, 2006, and 2007) and won three division championships (American Association 2006 first-half and second-half North Division titles, 2007 first-half North Division title). Johnson resigned as manager at the end of the 2008 season, and was replaced by Marty Scott, who had managed the Triple-A New Orleans Zephyrs during the 2008 season. Scott won two championships between 1995 and 2000 as the manager of the St. Paul Saints and guided Lincoln to the 2009 championship, his fourth overall as a manager. Over two seasons in Lincoln, Scott compiled a 100–92 (.521) regular-season record and a 6–7 postseason record. Brett Jodie became the ninth Saltdogs manager in franchise history after the club announced his hiring in April 2021. Jodie filled the vacancy left by James Frisbie after he was hired to join the Detroit Tigers.

In 2020, the league announced that the Saltdogs were not selected as one of six teams to participate in a condensed season as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. They went on hiatus for the season, then returned to play in 2021 when they celebrated their 20th Season.

Hi, Musiclover. I've noticed that you've edited the Mariah Carey articles, and I was wondering if you would consider voting. The remixography is an important article (along with the discography and videography pages) that should not be removed. Thanks for your time. OmegaWikipedia 05:48, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:Angiebaby.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Angiebaby.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
 * Image use policy
 * Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Media copyright questions. 09:05, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Image tagging for Image:Kevinandrewcollins.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Kevinandrewcollins.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images.

Unspecified source for Image:Kevinandrewcollins.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Kevinandrewcollins.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 19:40, 6 March 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MECU ≈ talk 19:40, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for Image:HoneyBBR.jpg
Thank you for uploading Image:HoneyBBR.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stifle (talk) 16:54, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:WYC.jpg)
Thanks for uploading File:WYC.jpg. 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) 05:04, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Shirelles.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Shirelles.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box.

Orphaned non-free media (File:Boyineedyou.jpg)
Thanks for uploading File:Boyineedyou.jpg. 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) 05:15, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to  in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 19:04, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for September 24
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Bachata en Fukuoka, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Merengue, Mambo and Bachata (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Proposed deletion of Carol (Dilbert)

The article Carol (Dilbert) has been proposed for deletion  because of the following concern:
 * This is an unsourced mess, and isn't really notable. There is little to nothing here of value that is not already at List of Dilbert characters.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Better source request for File:Mariah reflections.jpg
Thanks for your upload to Wikipedia: You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact Web page where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain or the URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.
 * File:Mariah reflections.jpg

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page or me at my talk page. Thank you. Message delivered by Theo's Little Bot (opt-out) 21:31, 22 April 2013 (UTC)
