Adding Mile By Mile External Links

I'm in the process of adding external links to he highway guides I've created for many North American Highway. Will suggested that I should let the highway community know I'm doing that so they don't think I'm link spamming. I've got detailed photos and text of lots of stuff along the highways in Canada, Mexico and USA. I'd welcome your thoughts on my project and the links. If folks want to use photos (I've got thousands of lovely photos) from my highway guides for Wikipedia , feel free to use them but do give credit. Thanks, James Love James Love 13:45, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

From "my" web site? You are not allowed to add links to your own web site. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 22:52, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Correction: I suggested that you discuss it with involved editors and, if they agree that the links are valuable, let them add the links for you. -Will Beback 22:57, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue spamming you will be blocked from editing. --AbsolutDan ^(talk) 05:05, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Dude, I'm an expert on these highways and the links are to detailed information that no one in the world has. OK, I'll not add any more but I will ask fans to add them. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jameslove (talk • contribs) .

If you mean fans of your website, that wouldn't be very proper either. What you ought to do is list the link on the talk page of an article and allow other neutral editors to determine the value of the link. Wikipedia is in need of cited content from reliable sources, not links to personal websites. --AbsolutDan ^(talk) 01:30, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Leaving United

I'm sorry, but you cannot add links to your own website. It is not a matter of "bias" to remove such links but the application of a well-established policy. I see that you have been cautioned about this before, above. Please remove it. Masalai (talk) 02:07, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

File:Alaska tok cutoff.jpg is now available on Wikimedia Commons as Commons:File:Alaska tok cutoff.jpg. This is a repository of free media that can be used on all Wikimedia wikis.

File:MayesColin CPC.jpg

Hi, there is a query about the copyright status of File:MayesColin CPC.jpg at WP:EAR#Does this picture violate copyright?. –– Jezhotwells (talk) 21:51, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:MayesColin CPC.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:MayesColin CPC.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for 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}} 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. Kelly ^hi! 09:03, 9 October 2014 (UTC)
