You have not given a source for this image, not have you stated what its copyright status is. Under Wikipedia policy images without copyright information can be deleted after 7 days. To avoid this please add the information to the image description page, See Wikipedia:Image tagging or leave a message on my talk page if you need help. Thryduulf 00:18, 24 September 2005 (UTC)Reply

Same goes for Image:Mac jeep.jpg, if you have uploaded any more files without proper tagging I suggest you check on those too. --Sherool 20:50, 27 September 2005 (UTC)Reply


Image Tagging Image:VJM.jpg

edit

Thanks for uploading Image:VJM.jpg. I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag, so its copyright status is therefore unclear. Please add a tag to let us know its copyright status. (If you created/took the picture then you can use {{gfdl}} to release it under the GFDL. If you can claim fair use use {{fairuse}}.) See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use. If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have tagged them, too. Note that any unsourced and untagged imaged will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thanks so much. --Michael 08:58, 1 October 2005 (UTC)Reply

NOTICE TO ALL IN REGARDS TO IMAGES: LACK OF COPYRIGHTING INFO OR SOURCING

edit

Everyone, Please note that I am in the process of posting the proper copyright info and the sources of where I got said photos on each image in question. Upon my discovery of the Wikipedia, I-- in my overzealousness-- blindly began posting dozens of images and I completely ignored the verbiage asking for the images' info. Now, thanks to your requests, I am going back and posting the correct copyright information and listing my sources. If I have missed any, please post them here, and it will be remedied. Thanks,

edit

I did the same in the past... It takes time to learn and understand, but now I know and I understand. Do continue to contribute! Thanks Scott 14:21, 3 October 2005 (UTC)Reply

Comments in Edit History pages

edit

<from User_talk:Lochaber>

Hi Lochaber,
Can you tell me how I can put comments by my edits on the "history" pages (as I've seen you do?)
Please post the answer on my talk page, if you would be so kind.
Thanks!


No problem,

At the bottom of the editing box you will see box called "Edit summary", above the buttons for Save page / Show Preview &c., you just fill in what you have done in there. If you click on Edit summary you'll find more info, Edit summary legend is also useful. Hope that helps! -- Lochaber 14:58, 5 October 2005 (UTC)Reply

Dukes of Hazzard Reverts

edit

(copied from tvaughn05's talk page) Just curious, why are you reverting my "Dukes of Hazzard" edits?

  • I am reverting your edits, because you are changing the picture source to a non-existant picture. If you are trying to do something, please explain it on the talk page, so it doesn't get reverted again. Thank you :-).

Thanks for uploading Image:Gbr.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator.

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you have questions about copyright tagging of images, post on Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags or User talk:Carnildo/images. 11:35, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Improper tagging of Image:Sharbat Gula After 17.jpg

edit

That image is certainly not a "publicity photo", and it does not fit the description in the copyright tag that you supplied. I've noted as much on the image's talk page. If a valid case for use of this copyrighted image cannot be made, it must be deleted. The image tag clearly states:

This tag should only be used for images of a person, product, or event that is known to have come from a press kit or similar source, for the purpose of reuse by the media.

It came from the National Geographic Magazine, if my memory serves, not a press kit, nor for the purpose of reuse. --Kbh3rdtalk 04:34, 16 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for uploading Image:Rip2.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:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria.

Jackson Hole, Wyoming

edit

I removed your edit to Jackson Hole, Wyoming - Harrison Ford is already mentioned in Jackson, Wyoming, and thats a better location for that sort of trivia. - CosmicPenguin (Talk) 00:55, 4 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

Well, his page is suffering from the usual Jackson/Jackson Hole confusion. But if you look at the Jackson Hole, Wyoming page - it is more geographical and geological in nature as befits a page about a valley, especially a generally unpopulated one. Jackson, Wyoming is more civic in nature, as befits a urban area. I think that living people should be listed as living within a city or urban area, not a natural feature - not even San Fernando Valley lists any notable residents, and surely they have some. :) - CosmicPenguin (Talk) 03:16, 5 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:General Lee jump.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use.

Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Thank you for uploading Image:Boss Hogg.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously.

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:DukesReunion.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image 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 image 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 '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 any non-free media lacking such an explanation 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. CCruise (talk) 23:05, 20 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Replaceable fair use Image:James Best.jpg

edit
 
Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:James Best.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media 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 media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. 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 media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, 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 description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use media which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. High on a tree (talk) 10:18, 7 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

Typo redirect Mr. Horse-Collar

edit
 

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Mr. Horse-Collar, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Mr. Horse-Collar is a redirect page resulting from an implausible typo (CSD R3).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Mr. Horse-Collar, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Hazzard Cast.JPG)

edit

  Thanks for uploading Image:Hazzard Cast.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.

Oxford Wikimania 2010 and Wikimedia UK v2.0 Notice

edit

Hi,

As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.

We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.

You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Wikipedia:Meetup, for updates on future meets.

We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!

Thanks for uploading Image:Pirate Movie.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

  • That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
  • That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

License tagging for File:Captain Chaos.jpg

edit

Thanks for uploading File:Captain Chaos.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.

Kristin Sutton moved to draftspace

edit

An article you recently created, Kristin Sutton, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Orphaned non-free image File:Bo Duke.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:Bo Duke.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:49, 21 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
