Re; Reverts edit

heh yeah. I was using Huggle and I didn't notice your edit summary until it was too late. And I gotta agree it's a good idea to pace yourself on teh wiki. I didn't once and I ended up not being on for like two weeks. I keep comin' back though... (NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!1!!) Thingg 22:49, 14 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Copyright concerns; tagging edit

Hello, MMZach. Thank you for pointing out your copyright concerns with Image:Stateline Shopping Center.jpg. :) I'm dropping you a line just to let you know that the copyright problems board is specifically used for text that violates copyright. For images that are clear copyright violations, you can follow the procedure for speedy deletion. For images that are suspected to be copyright violations, we have a review board for possibly unfree images. For images used under suspect non-free content criteria, we have non-free content review. I have gone ahead and deleted this unauthorized derivative work under CSD#I9, but I wanted to let you know for future use in case you should encounter another image that raises concerns. Thanks again for pointing out the problem. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 16:27, 29 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

License tagging for File:Adelaide Road near Chalk Farm.jpg edit

Thanks for uploading File:Adelaide Road near Chalk Farm.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 10:05, 18 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

File:Adelaide Road near Chalk Farm.jpg edit

Dear uploader: The media file you uploaded as File:Adelaide Road near Chalk Farm.jpg has been listed for speedy deletion because you selected a copyright license type implying some type of restricted use, such as for non-commercial use only, or for educational use only or for use on Wikipedia by permission. While it might seem reasonable to assume that such files can be freely used on Wikipedia, this is in fact not the case[1][2]. Please do not upload any more files with these restrictions on them, because images on Wikipedia need to be compatible with the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike or another free license, which allow anyone to use it for any purpose, commercial or non-commercial. See our non-free content guidelines for more information.

If you created this media file and want to use it on Wikipedia, you may re-upload it (or amend the image description if it has not yet been deleted) and use the license {{cc-by-sa-3.0}} to license it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 license, or use {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. Note, if you did create this file, you may want to upload it to Wikimedia Commons, which will allow the image to be accessed by all Wikimedia Foundation projects (which include the various localized versions of Wikipedia)

If you did not create this media file, please understand that the vast majority of images found on the internet are not appropriate for Wikipedia. Most content on the internet is copyrighted and the creator of the image has exclusive rights to use it. Wikipedia respects the copyrights of others - do not upload images that violate others' copyrights. In certain limited cases, we may be able to use an image under a claim of fair use - if you are certain that fair use would apply here, you may choose one of the fair use tags from this list. If no fair use rationale applies, you may want to contact the copyright holder and request that they make the media available under a free license.

If you have any questions please ask at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you. Geniac (talk) 01:31, 7 December 2013 (UTC)Reply
You need to change the license on the Flickr page before we can use the image.  Ronhjones  (Talk) 02:31, 8 December 2013 (UTC)Reply

File source problem with File:Longmeadow days.jpg edit

 

Thank you for uploading File:Longmeadow days.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, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged.

Proposed deletion of File:Northside Piers.jpg edit

 

The file File:Northside Piers.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

orphaned for a decade, no foreseeable encyclopedic use. WP:NOTFILESTORAGE.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
