Image without license[edit]

Unspecified source/license for Image:Terran empire ENT-symbol.gif[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Terran empire ENT-symbol.gif. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. Even if you created the image yourself, you still need to release it so Wikipedia can use it. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like {{PD-self}} (to release all rights), {{self|CC-by-sa-3.0|GFDL}} (to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by MifterBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. --MifterBot ^{(Talk • Contribs • Owner)} 19:55, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OpenOffice logos[edit]

Is there a reason why you are uploading new PNG versions of OpenOffice logos when there are acceptable SVG icons already available? I cannot see any reason to change the existing ones and you gave no explanation when you made the changes to the article. --TimTay (talk) 16:49, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The same goes for the Merseyside Police article. Please, stop. — neuro^{(talk)(review)} 18:14, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (File:Met_Office.jpg)[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Met_Office.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. Melesse (talk) 10:15, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Rainford[edit]

I have corrected the spelling mistake on the main Merseyside image. This means I've deleted the version you added as a redundant copy. The correction may take circa 24-48 hours to filter through. :) --Jza84 | Talk 19:44, 19 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

NowCommons: File:Kingdom of England.PNG[edit]

File:Kingdom of England.PNG is now available on Wikimedia Commons as Commons:File:Kingdom of England.png. This is a repository of free media that can be used on all Wikimedia wikis. The image will be deleted from Wikipedia, but this doesn't mean it can't be used anymore. You can embed an image uploaded to Commons like you would an image uploaded to Wikipedia, in this case: [[File:Kingdom of England.png]]. Note that this is an automated message to inform you about the move. This bot did not copy the image itself. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 20:24, 26 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite[edit]

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 08:53, 6 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Location UK EU Europe 002.svg[edit]
