• Placing your "not for commercial use" language in the upload section nearly guarantees it will be deleted. If you release it into the public domain (as the tag says you wish to do), it can be used for any purposes, commercial included. S. Dean Jameson 04:45, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

It's a really nice picture! Releasing it in the public domain means anyone can use it for anything they want, which is incompatible with the notice you put up there it is for non-commercial use only. Could you consider giving up the non-commercial use clause? You could licence it under CC-BY-SA, which leaves you still with some rights, like attribution. This licence is compatible with our mission, but still allows commercial use, as long as they release it under the same conditions. 62.194.104.217 (talk) 16:56, 24 November 2012 (UTC)

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.

File source problem with File:HMS Royal Ulsterman Ca 1943.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:HMS Royal Ulsterman Ca 1943.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 did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
