Hi, did you get permission to release this image under the GFDL, or is it mis-tagged? If it's simply copyrighted to them, we can use it under fair use. Please respond on my talk page. --Phroziac (talk) 16:42, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
- No, you didn't. GFDL is a license that he could release the image under, and it would be OK to use it for anything, including making images based on it and selling it, but requiring anyone who uses it to give him credit for it, and stuff. You may want to see Wikipedia:Copyrights. I'll contact the author and see what he says, it won't hurt to leave it mistagged for a few days. --Phroziac (talk) 17:31, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
Hi, I redirected Choisms to No Need for Bushido. Since there's no article about the character, having an article about things he said seems unneccessary. However I saved the content in your sandbox, at User:The_palantir/Sandbox so that it wouldn't be lost. When starting new topics, it's generally best to get plenty of information in the main article before splitting out into sub articles. They're less likely to be deleted this way, and they provide better context for readers unfamiliar with the subject.
Also important are the WP:V and WP:NOR policies. Information about other people using Choisms, for example, isn't really appropriate for an article if it's based on your own experiences. In Wikipedia terms, it's called original research and is not supposed to be included in articles. Hope this helps, and thanks for contributing. Friday (talk) 18:06, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
- PS. No offense is intended by the Afd, it's not a judgement on the subject, it's meant to help determine whether it belongs in an encyclopedia. Whether it gets deleted or not, there's no harm or shame in a good faith contribution to the project. Hope you stick around. Friday (talk) 18:11, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
Advice
editSince you asked for it.. :)
The links in the welcome message above are a great place to start. Don't get discouraged, new contributors make lots of mistakes and they're generally no big deal. If you edit your user page, the link won't show up in red anymore, and you'll look like less of a newbie. I think you were asking about my sig.. You can set it with the "preferences" link, but it's called "Nickname". I set mine to "Friday]] [[User_talk:Friday|(talk)" to make the signature I currently have. Hope this helps.

File permission problem with File:No Need for Bushido, Title.jpg
edit
Thanks for uploading File:No Need for Bushido, Title.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 in section F11 of the 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. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 15:08, 24 October 2018 (UTC)
