License tagging for Image:StarvinMarvin.jpg edit
Thanks for uploading Image:StarvinMarvin.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. 00:11, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Mycyprusweb edit
What SPAM ARE YOU REFERRING TO EXACTLY (re Mycyprusweb)? Please justify your statement and accusation. All users and all people have a right to contribute. As long as their information is correct, and does not harm anyone. Please detail specifically which information you are referring to and allow us to respond to your accusations.
- Hi, I don't know who you are but in any case... The spam I am referring to is edits made to the Cyprus article that are of no relevance and whose only purpose is to advertise someone's website, essentially edits which simply add a link to a website at the end of the article. I would of course provide you with a specific example of one of your edits linking to Mycyprusweb, which I assume you are affiliated with, but these edits are buried somewhere deep in the history, in any case I'm sure you know what I'm referring to.
- If your website or service is notable then by all means feel free to create an article about it and even refer to it in the Cyprus article if it is really that notable and relevant to Cyprus. If you look up the Wikipedia style guidelines, there is a page on external links, with the relevant guideline for you being point 4 of the "Links normally to be avoided" section. Please have a look at that before sending me your response, to make sure we are on the same page. The fact that you repeatedly added the link to the article after it was removed reminded me of spam, hence why I called your edits spam. You are of course free and welcome to make whatever edits you wish to make to any article, and people are free to revert or comment on your edits and express their views as to whether they should remain in an article or not.
- By the way, don't forget to sign your messages by adding four tildes (~) at the end, and please assume good faith when dealing with fellow Wikipedians.
