Thank You to all established Wiki-Editors edit

Dear all

I'd just like to say thank you for the welcome message and also I invite any friendly (and sincere) person to offer me advice and help if they think any of my editing or original writing isn't being done correctly.. There is a huge amount to know and learn about Wikipedia and to be honest - it's more than a little daunting, especially when one is just getting started - anyway, If a genuine person wants to help me then I'm more than willing to learn from anyone. All I ask is that everyone understands that being involved in Wikipedia is hopefully, for me at least, going to be an important and new form of relaxation as I'm housebound with a very serious heart condition and struggling to bring up two kids on my own - I just can't cope with stress and aggro - so if I get things a little wrong or perhaps don't follow the rules exactly - please don't jump on me!! - I've read some of the comments and a few of you guys/gals sound as though you can be pretty tough!!

Anyway, thanks again for any help you might be able to offer and kind regards to you all - Max -- Freedomintheskies2204 (talk) 23:49, 14 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

File permission problem with File:Alan_Parsons_at_Carrera_Records.jpg edit

 

Thanks for uploading File:Alan_Parsons_at_Carrera_Records.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-en wikimedia.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-en wikimedia.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. Calliopejen1 (talk) 05:29, 22 November 2011 (UTC)Reply
