License tagging for Image:Fossa River and Waterfall 1.jpg

edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Fossa River and Waterfall 1.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:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 02:07, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

NowCommons: File:Fossa River and Waterfall 2.jpg

edit

File:Fossa River and Waterfall 2.jpg is now available on Wikimedia Commons as Commons:File:Fossa River and Waterfall 2.jpg. This is a repository of free media that can be used on all Wikimedia wikis. The image will be deleted from Wikipedia, but this doesn't mean it can't be used anymore. You can embed an image uploaded to Commons like you would an image uploaded to Wikipedia, in this case: [[File:Fossa River and Waterfall 2.jpg]]. Note that this is an automated message to inform you about the move. This bot did not copy the image itself. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 04:38, 15 June 2009 (UTC)Reply
