License tagging for Image:J32 1 small.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:J32 1 small.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

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

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 16:10, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Enoceanlogo.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Enoceanlogo.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 07:16, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

AfD nomination of Trash The Dress[edit]

I have nominated Trash The Dress, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Trash The Dress. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Ziggy Saw dust 19:31, 21 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Femmina RfC[edit]

Hello. I have finally gotten around to starting the RFC on Femmina's conduct. Your name is listed as one of the people who tried to resolve the dispute with him, so you need to sign this section within 48 hours (named Users certifying the basis for this dispute) for the RfC to proceed in earnest. Thanks. Groink (talk) 01:58, 27 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

UK countries[edit]

Hi! I didn't quite understand what did you mean by recognised and non-recognised countries. Could you please explain this? And what's the difference between Bayern (officially a Land, which is German for country) or País Vasco (also an official name;país is Castilian for country as well) except for the fact that these regions are not English-speaking? Respectfully, Alæxis_¿question? 15:26, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed your contribution to the photography and the law section[edit]

YOu made an interesting point. It was, unfortunately, wrong, but I've done my best to correct it. Together we've managed to add to the article, so cheers! 01:16, 24 February 2009 (UTC)~ 01:16, 24 February 2009 (UTC)01:16, 24 February 2009 (UTC)01:16, 24 February 2009 (UTC)01:16, 24 February 2009 (UTC)01:16, 24 February 2009 (UTC)01:16, 24 February 2009 (UTC)01:16, 24 February 2009 (UTC)01:16, 24 February 2009 (UTC)01:16, 24 February 2009 (UTC) Arpitt (talk) 01:17, 24 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

File copyright problem with File:Napoleon III Sarcophagus.jpg[edit]

Thank you for uploading File:Napoleon III Sarcophagus.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. FASTILY_sock^(TALK) 21:33, 17 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:BlitzVic20.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:BlitzVic20.jpg, which you've sourced to (Cassette Cover). I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-enwikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-enwikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Ronhjones ^(Talk) 21:59, 18 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help.

Your draft article, Draft:Mary Agnes Krell[edit]

Hello, Phooto. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Mary Agnes Krell".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
