For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites (http://www.history.navy.mil/ar/alfa/austin_bl.htm in this case) or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) then you should do one of the following:

If you have permission from the author leave a message explaining the details on the article Talk page and send an email with the message to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia (dot) org". See Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted under the GFDL or released into the public domain leave a note at Talk:Bernard L. Austin with a link to where we can find that note;
If you own the copyright to the material: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the GFDL, and note that you have done so on the article Talk page. Alternatively, you may create a note on your web page releasing the work under the GFDL and then leave a note at Talk:Bernard L. Austin with a link to the details.

Otherwise, you are encouraged to rewrite this article in your own words to avoid any copyright infringement. After you do so, you should place a {{hangon}} tag on the article page and leave a note at Talk:Bernard L. Austin saying you have done so. An administrator will review the new content before taking action.

Gabriel Heyward Mahon, Jr[edit]

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have perfomed a web search with the contents of Gabriel Heyward Mahon, Jr, and it appears to be a substantial copy of http://www.infoplease.com/biography/us/congress/mahon-gabriel-heyward-jr.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot 19:45, 11 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Citadecadetflag.jpg)[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Citadecadetflag.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. BetacommandBot 17:44, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Duplicate images uploaded[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:PT Barracks.JPG. A machine-controlled robot account noticed that you also uploaded the same image under the name Image:PT Barracks.jpg.

This is an automated message- you have not upset or annoyed anyone, and you do not need to respond. In the future, you may save yourself some confusion if you supply a meaningful file name and refer to 'my contributions' to remind yourself exactly which name you chose (file names are case sensitive, including the extension) so that you won't lose track of your uploads.

Copyright violation in Lt Gen Cladius E. Watts, USAF[edit]

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Lt Gen Cladius E. Watts, USAF, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Lt Gen Cladius E. Watts, USAF is unquestionably copyright infringement, and no assertion of permission has been made.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Lt Gen Cladius E. Watts, USAF, 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.

Your photo uploads[edit]

Hi. Several photos that you have uploaded and tagged with {{PD-self}} do not appear to be user-authored photos, but look like they are web-resolution photos from institutional websites. Could you review the following images and see if they are really ones you took?

Image:Inside PT Barracks.jpg
Image:Cadet US Flag.jpg
Image:Big Red Flag.jpg - this one, even if you did take the photograph, as it is a derivative work of the flag itself, there are other issues
Image:Citadel Football.JPG - the same for this
Image:Knobs on the Quad.jpg
Image:Citadel Class Ring II.jpg - appears to have been copied from http://cadets.citadel.edu/bat4/Pictures/r20041021_114802_06ring.jpg
Image:FrazierOline.jpg
Image:Heisman.jpg

None of these images look like user-authored photos. If you did not create them, please tag them with {{db-author}} and leave an edit summary indicating that they are not images that you authored. That will enable an administrator to delete them. Thank you. --B (talk) 23:36, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Inside PT Barracks.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 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, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

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 Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 01:33, 2 October 2009 (UTC).

ArbCom elections are now open![edit]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Citadel Class Ring II.jpg[edit]

A tag has been placed on File:Citadel Class Ring II.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. — Preceding unsigned comment added by World's Lamest Critic (talk • contribs) 22:24, 30 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
