AfD nomination of List of Australian TV Newsreaders

I have nominated List of Australian TV Newsreaders, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Australian TV Newsreaders. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. Who then was a gentleman? (talk) 07:59, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

List of Australian TV Newsreaders

There's already a category. Who then was a gentleman? (talk) 20:29, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

I would wait until after the AfD has finished, it takes about 5 days, it looks like the article will probably be kept. Once the AfD has closed, go ahead and change the title by using the "Move" tab at the top of the page and move it to a new name. Who then was a gentleman? (talk) 18:50, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

You're welcome.  :) Who then was a gentleman? (talk) 05:28, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

Videos

I definitely don't know all about Wikipedia.  :) You can only upload videos that are not copyrighted. If the images are of newsreaders, I think those would be copyrighted, unless the broadcaster has waived rights. Who then was a gentleman? (talk) 23:20, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

I think so, from the the Upload page it looks like it, but I've never uploaded a video. Who then was a gentleman? (talk) 00:15, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

File copyright problem with File:Openeing Nine News.png

File Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading File:Openeing Nine News.png. 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 file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. — neuro^{(talk)(review)} 21:52, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of File:Vlcsnap-3249713.png

A tag has been placed on File:Vlcsnap-3249713.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
