Speedy deletion nomination of File:George Birimisa bodybuilder pose 1956.jpg

edit
 

A tag has been placed on File:George Birimisa bodybuilder pose 1956.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

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 - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), 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.

Thank you for uploading File:GeorgeBirimisa-5-20-06.jpg. 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 created in your upload log.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Magog the Ogre (talk) 22:04, 15 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

Choosing the appropriate license for an image

edit

Mr. Sagan - thanks for your contributions to Wikipedia. However, I note that you recently uploaded 4 images, and chose the option that you are the author of each of these images. This is in direct contradiction to the fact that you attributed the images to other authors, and to the fact that they're online. If I could ask that you would be careful in choosing the appropriate license when you upload an image - if you didn't create it in full, please don't tag it as such. If you have any questions about images, please feel free to contact me on my talk page, or for a more timely response, write on our help desk. Magog the Ogre (talk) 22:06, 15 August 2010 (UTC)Reply
