I would really like to add this image to the article, but don't know how to do this. It is covered by this copyright, so there should be a way to use it here. Please help!

Hmmm. Just read through Wikimedia Commons and found out that this license might not work after all as it disallows commercial use. Guess it will have to go without the picture, I will just add a map of Canada instead. --vonbergm 06:12, 14 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia has this image, is that easy to add. It is a lot better than the current one. --vonbergm 06:21, 14 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

weather vs climate[edit]

There does not seem to be a category "climate". As this is news about climate and not about weather it should be filed under climate. The closesed category seemd to be "climate change" which incidentally is filed inappropriately as a subcategory of weather. I guess eventually this should be cleaned up, but I decided to go with this for now. --vonbergm 05:54, 14 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes it is an issue. And a semantic one at that. But I agree."Climate" should certainly have a category to deliniate from "Weather": Climate versus weather: In the most succinct words, weather is the combination of events in the atmosphere and climate is the overall accumulated weather in a certain location. Climate change (an ever-increasing issue of global importance) makes a good subcat. There is now a Category for Climate. --elliot_k 07:42, 14 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, that's great. I will put it to use immediately. --vonbergm 16:04, 14 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Picture again[edit]

While this image is not "free" of copyright, and not suitable for the commons, can I still upload it in wikinews as it is a (Canadian) government agency picture with copyright explicitely allowing "con-commercial" use? --vonbergm 21:25, 15 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
