Dear uploader: The media file you uploaded as Image:Armeni_Throughout_History.gif 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 content on Wikipedia needs to be compatible with the GNU Free Documentation License, which allows anyone to use it for any purpose, commercial or non-commercial. See our non-free content guidelines for more 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 {{GFDL-self}} to license it under the GFDL, or {{cc-by-sa-3.0}} to license it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license, or use {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain.

If you did not create this media file but want to use it on Wikipedia, there are two ways to proceed. First, you may choose one of the fair use tags from this list if you believe one of those fair use rationales applies to this file. Second, 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. Angus McLellan (Talk) 22:59, 28 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:Armenia Throughout History.gif. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 05:15, 29 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

History of Armenian nationality

edit

First. let me congratulate you on your thorough and extensive work creating and expanding this article. I made a few edits to it, primarily having to do with section headings. Generally, its a bad idea to use code like =Heading= because it generates a section heading the same size as the article title. I just hope I didn't make any mistakes. I also want to warn you about some possible pitfalls.

First, be aware of WP:OWN. Now that the article is up, anyone who wants to can come along and make whatever changes he sees fit. You might not like some of them. You might hate a lot of them. You'll have to work for consensus when you disagree. Not much of this has been happening yet, because no other articles in the main namespace link to it. Yet. I'm about to create some links to it so that it can become a more integrated part of Wikipedia. This will be to the article's advantage, because, as I'm sure you or anyone familiar with Armenia's history is aware, this is a subject about which there is some controversy. This will inevitably attract tendentious editors, and the more eyes on the article, the better.

Generally, if you're trying to create a new article and get it just how you want it before you turn it loose on the whole community, the best thing to do is make it a sub-page of your user page. Then you can edit in peace, take your time, create your best version, and move it to the mainspace when you're ready. You can still do something like that if you want. Just copy and paste the entire article into a user subpage and go from there.

Once again, congratulations on your work and happy editing. --Steven J. Anderson (talk) 04:10, 14 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

File permission problem with File:Eastern Ottoman Turkey.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:Eastern Ottoman Turkey.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 Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kelly hi! 09:14, 14 October 2015 (UTC)Reply
