File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Falcon from Thomas the Tank Engine.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, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, we also need to know the terms of the license that the copyright holder has published the file under, usually done by adding a licensing tag. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged files may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the file will be deleted 48 hours after 18:49, 29 October 2010 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 18:49, 29 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

Douglas (locomotive)

edit
 

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Douglas (locomotive), and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.steamindex.com/locomag/locomag12.htm.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.)

Speedy deletion nomination of Douglas (locomotive)

edit
 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Douglas (locomotive) 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 {{hang on}} 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 hang-on 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.

License tagging for File:No. 6, Douglas in standard TR liverly. 1982..jpg

edit

Thanks for uploading File:No. 6, Douglas in standard TR liverly. 1982..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) 23:06, 18 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

I've deleted the image. Unfortunately, screen-shots of copyright material, even if just on You-tube, are not acceptable on Wikipedia (except for fair-use, which wouldn't apply here). Feel free to upload photos which you've taken yourself, or if there's any photos of the TR you want, let me know as it's quite likely I may already have one. Alternatively I'll probably be in Tywyn in a couple of weeks, so could try to get some more. —  Tivedshambo  (t/c) 21:27, 19 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

Edit summaries

edit

  Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Before saving your changes to an article, please provide an edit summary for your edits. Doing so helps everyone understand the intention of your edit (and prevents legitimate edits from being mistaken for vandalism). It is also helpful to users reading the edit history of the page. Thank you. To date, almost all of your edits have lacked a valid edit summary. Timothy Titus Talk To TT 22:59, 13 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway

edit

Thank you for using an edit summary on your recent edit to Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway. It helps the whole system to work properly when we all do that. However, the edit you're trying to make to the article isn't a valid one, for two reasons. I will explain them both.

  • Firstly, edits must be referenced. That means you need to provide a footnote which refers to direct evidence, preferably from a third-party website, though it can be from a book or periodical, to support the claim you are making in your edit.
  • Secondly, and most importantly in this case, the TV clip you are talking about doesn't rank as "popular culture". The Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway appears on television around a dozen times every year. The programme you mention is not a key element of popular culture, and nothing about it is having repercussions in popular culture. We DO record the TV broadcasts from the post-war re-opening of the railway, because those broadcasts starred Laurel & Hardie, who are internationally renowned comedians, and so made that broadcast notable. However, we don't just record every time a railway appears on TV. The Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway appeared on my TV last night in an advert, with three little dogs running up the Dungeness line. It has appeared in countless other TV adverts (Marathon, Milkey Way, etc), on news reports, on holiday shows, on quizzes, etc, etc. The full list would run into thousands of TV broadcasts. To be included in the encyclopedia as "Popular Culture" it really needs to be something that "everybody is talking about" or something that stars an A-list celebrity.

Timothy Titus Talk To TT 08:21, 15 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

Just to support Timothy's note above, there's another issue about "in popular culture" links. Most of them aren't commutative - a connection that matters a lot to the TV show often matters far less to the subject. Linking to the RHDR from the show can make sense, but linking to the show from the RHDR page doesn't. This is the main problem with most of the "IPC" links that get added to the encyclopedia.

edit

  Thank you for your contributions. Please remember to mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway, as "minor" only if they truly are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes, or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. Timothy Titus Talk To TT 17:15, 30 August 2011 (UTC)Reply
