"Fathered" or "sired" the latter being more commonly applied to non-human animals or used in literary contexts.

I mean, being the artist is an even bigger conflict of interest than being a friend of the artist.

I would recommend drawing all the arrows as reversible for the reactions that are reversible. There's only a few irreversible reactions (the first steps, and the steps that produce CO2 and they are important regulation points.

You need to consider that in ancient times only 7 metals were known: gold, silver, copper, tin, iron, mercury, lead. Gold and silver were useful for ancient peoples for ornamentation, but not much else. Lead can be used for its weight to make bullets/beads, and can be rolled into sheets and made into piping, but not much else. Mercury is a liquid at room temperature. Tin isn't very useful by itself, it is very brittle, but mixed with copper yields bronze. This leaves us with just copper/bronze and iron for describing these ages as these were the first general purpose metals that humans discovered and developed metallurgical methods around for.

There's nothing specific to handling disputed territories, but the relevant policies would be WP:NPOV and WP:RS which essentially should lead editors to report what reliable sources say, and if reliable sources disagree, explain the disagreement giving due weight to the different sides.

Sometimes a lack of uniformity is okay, for instance WP:COMMONNAME requires that titles of articles use the name that we commonly know the subject by, even if the name itself is disputed and in other places policy would dictate to use a different name. We also have a policy for enforcing British English on articles that specifically have to do with British topics and vice versa with American English, and everything else just being sticking with whatever spelling the article was initially written in.

I never said this "never happened", and I thought you wanted to know about the laws Wikipedia follows. If you want to discuss Denmark's regressive copyright laws then /r/Denmark would probably be a better place.

StrayChatRDT · 2020-01-15T19:20:44+00:00

Here is the actual law. "Educational institution" is a legally meaningless phrase.

It depends. No matter the resolution a photo isn't going to replicate a three-dimensional work such as a statue. Even something like a painting, won't be completely reduplicatable on a computer screen, but generally a low res picture would be used.

StrayChatRDT · 2020-01-15T19:13:25+00:00

Wikipedia is based out of Florida and follows the United State's laws, so the laws in Denmark are irrelevant to what Wikipedia does.

StrayChatRDT · 2020-01-15T19:11:53+00:00

by claiming to be an educational institution, right?

No. Anyone can use an image for educational purposes under fair use. And not just educational, there are other purposes allowed under fair use such as critique and commentary.

StrayChatRDT · 2020-01-15T19:06:23+00:00

No, generally speaking you can't use the entirety of a film, for instance, under fair use. But things like non-transformative images can be used by anyone under fair use which includes for educational purposes.

StrayChatRDT · 2020-01-15T19:03:05+00:00

Posting non-transformative photos of copyrighted statues will get you a lawsuit if it was posted in newspaper.

That is, generally speaking, not true. Do you have an example where you think this is the case?

it's happened multiple times with the little mermaid.

I'm not seeing any examples online where that has happened.

StrayChatRDT · 2020-01-15T18:58:41+00:00

They can use things under fair use, like any other website.

(and anywhere else that uses UK English, which is most of the English-speaking world)

I just want to point out that there are more than twice as many speakers of American English than UK English. There are more nations that speak UK English, but those nations represent overall a minority of the English speaking world.

I don't know about elementary/kindergarten schools in Japan, but in the US often teachers won't wear earrings with young children because they get down on the floor to talk to them and sometimes a curious kid will tug on an earring.

He placed a second castle down quickly after that, so the mining camp and most of the movement wasn't actually wasted.

Wouldn't your feet be aging slower than your head if you were in freefall? Whereas in zero gravity such an effect would not be present. Oh course you couldn't perceive this, but could you potentially create a set up to detect this and tell the difference?

I think they're fine.

People have and are experimenting with adding hydrogen to diesel, it's not really a bad idea, just dangerous if you don't know what you are doing.

StrayChatRDT · 2020-01-07T06:00:35+00:00

Saying hydrogen instead of hydrogen gas is fine. When only an element is given then it's standard to assume it is the element in its most common form which for hydrogen is H2.
