License tagging for Image:Dithio2.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Dithio2.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:

• Wikipedia:Image use policy
• Wikipedia:Image copyright tags

Do you need some help?

Why did you create the template {{You created this yourself and release it to the public domain}}? There is no need to create new copyright tags; we already have one for every conceivable purpose. I think the one you want is {{PD-self}}, which appears like this: {{PD-self}} Also, you uploaded Image:Dithio2.jpg in JPEG format, which is totally inappropriate for this kind of image. In general, JPEG should only be used for photographs. Please upload it in SVG, PNG, or GIF format, and make sure it comes from a non-JPEG source so there are no JPEG compression artifacts. —Keenan Pepper 03:25, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did to J. K. Rowling, is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. This is especially important when dealing with biographies of living people, but applies to all Wikipedia articles. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are already familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources please take this opportunity to add your original reference to the article. Thank you. faithless (^speak) 23:23, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Gordon Brown

Before adding the title 'Dr' to Gordon Brown, as you did here, you should have taken note of the following instructions, which are printed at the beginning of the article:

"please do not add the title "Dr" to his name: see Wikipedia:Manual of Style (biographies)#Academic titles."

Thank you. Paul20070 (talk) 16:11, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the edit you made to Patrick Stewart has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you.

Template:You created this yourself and release it to the public domain listed at Redirects for discussion

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Template:You created this yourself and release it to the public domain. Since you had some involvement with the Template:You created this yourself and release it to the public domain redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion (if you have not already done so).

File permission problem with File:Photograph of Prof Dave Garner.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Photograph of Prof Dave Garner.jpg. 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. Stefan2 (talk) 13:08, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
