Unspecified source for Image:Indofunkpromo.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading Image:Indofunkpromo.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, then 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, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. 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 meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, 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 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 08:00, 1 November 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast 08:00, 1 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

You are working on an article, User:Indofunk/indofunktest, with the same name as your username. IrishGuy talk 23:35, 1 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

The Firebrand article isn't a COI although the link to your band on that article would be. WP:USER outlines userpage guidelines. As long as it isn't a blatant advertisement, you should be fine. IrishGuy talk 00:18, 2 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Firebird photo

edit

Hi! Thanks for uploading the photo of your Holton firebird - would you be able to take another against a plain white background? I'm trying to go through musical instrument articles and line up good neutral specimen photos to lead. Good examples so far: piccolo trumpet, superbone, soprillo, contrabass saxophone, A♭ clarinet. Sometimes there just aren't any freely licensed photos, so I've had to resort to taking my own not-all-that-fabulous photos, e.g. soprano trombone, piccolo trombone, contrabass trombone, cimbasso. You're right that it is much better to have a photo of an actual Holton instrument than a cheap knock-off! — Jon (talk) 20:11, 22 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
