Vandalism of Ingleby Barwick article edit

Please stop. If you continue to blank or remove content from Wikipedia, as you did to Ingleby Barwick, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Andrew Duffell 15:30, 8 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

RE:Pete Doherty Picture edit

Even though he has given permission to post on wikipedia, there is a conflict with the licensing terms (images on WP must be licensed for commercial use). I posted a topic at Wikipedia_talk:Image_copyright_tags#AndrewKendall.com. I also emailed him about licensing conflict, but I haven't gotten a response yet.--Fallout boy 20:52, 24 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

One place to look for free license images of musicians is flickr, where images can be filtered by CC license [1] [2]. As for the recent uploads of the Lib members, I probably need to nag that user about using copyrighted content since those appear to be magazine scans which are neither free licensed nor fair use.--Fallout boy 10:51, 25 March 2006 (UTC)Reply
The problem with using the magazine cover tag is that we are only supposed to use magazine covers to illustrate the issue in question. I would recommend emailing Andrew Kendall to get permission to license commercially.--Fallout boy 22:44, 25 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

Please let me know if at any stage you require assistance, or if you have comments on how I am doing as an administrator. Once again thank you and with kind regards Gryffindor 17:48, 2 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

Revert of Wikipedia: Reliable sources edit

I request that you restore the change made by Rjensen which added "To help users find additional reliable information on the topic" to the list of reasons that sources should be cited. Your rational that "External Links section is where users look for additional information on a topic" is incomplete. For one thing, it does not account for books and other printed matter. Also, I might not be interested in getting further information about the entire article, I might want further information about just one paragraph in an article. Perhaps someone quoted a sentence from a speech, and I want to read the whole speech. A citation to the source of the speech would be perfect for that. Gerry Ashton 19:41, 17 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

WRT54G's Third-party firmware projects edit

Please see Wikipedia:External links. External links belong in an external link section at the end of an article. Nearly all the links that I deleted already exist in an External links section on the appropriate article. The OpenWRT external link is on the OpenWRT page, the Sveasoft external link is on the Sveasoft page.

If you gather all the links together on one page, you also get into Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not territory. Specifically the "Wikipedia is not a mirror or a repository of links, images, or media files" section.

Does that answer your question? AlistairMcMillan 17:56, 31 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Untagged image edit

An image you uploaded, Image:Ingleby Barwick Crest.gif, was tagged with the {{coatofarms}} copyright tag. This tag was deleted because it does not actually specify the copyright status of the image. The image may need a more accurate copyright tag, or it may need to be deleted. If the image portrays a seal or emblem, it should be tagged as {{seal}}. If you have any questions, ask them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. -- 09:08, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:Libertines Group Picture.jpg edit

 
Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Libertines Group Picture.jpg. I noticed 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 that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image 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 image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image 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 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, 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 16:51, 7 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Cillit Bang logo.jpg) edit

  Thanks for uploading Image:Cillit Bang logo.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 04:58, 11 September 2007 (UTC)Reply


Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Cillit Bang logo.jpg edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Cillit Bang logo.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 (talk) 20:29, 13 February 2008 (UTC)Reply
