Image Tagging Image:Timanous water and sunset.jpg edit

 
This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Timanous water and sunset.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. 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 any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -SCEhardT 16:33, 23 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

Possibly unfree Image:Timanous_water_and_sunset.jpg edit

An image that you uploaded or altered, Image:Timanous_water_and_sunset.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree images because its copyright status is disputed. If the image's copyright status cannot be verified, it may be deleted. You may find more information on the image description page. You are welcome to add comments to its entry at the discussion if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. Jusjih 00:37, 10 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Every photograph (or other creative work) is automatically copyrighted whether the photographer claims his rights or not. Has your friend explicitly stated "I release this image into the public domain" or "I release my rights to this image" or other words to that effect? If so, can you update the image page to say that or have him email permissions-en@wikimedia.org? --B (talk) 04:19, 14 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

File source problem with File:Governor John H. Lynch.jpg edit

 
File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Governor John H. Lynch.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, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 23:31, 26 March 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Hekerui (talk) 23:31, 26 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

File:VermontLawSchoolSeal.gif edit

I hit the wrong button. You had given absolutely no evidence of permission being present, except to make the insufficient claim of "Permission of Vermont Law School". When uploaded like this, the file is automatically tagged for speedy deletion under F3, which makes no requirement of notification or a waiting period. With a proper fair-use rationale, such as you have provided, this image is fine, but it's totally unacceptable in the previous format. Nyttend (talk) 21:06, 26 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

Disambiguation link notification for March 31 edit

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Timanous, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages White Mountains, Mount Washington and Luther Gulick (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
