Reposting

Hi. You should know that reposting material that has been deleted by consensus is a violation of Wikipedia rules. Please don't. Thanks. - Lucky 6.9 21:28, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

Hi, again. Perhaps we got our lines crossed. Please don't post deleted material. As far as the photo is concerned, it may very well be a violation of copyright. Again, please don't do these things and please read the Wikipedia:Manual of style to learn more. - Lucky 6.9 21:31, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

Deleted page

I moved P The D to User:P The D. That's where you can talk about yourself. --Merovingian (t) (c) 21:43, September 9, 2005 (UTC)

Deletion

Hi there. I've actually deleted that webpage instead, since Wikipedia isn't intended to be used as a place to advertise or promote websites. --HappyCamper 16:21, 10 September 2005 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Allysin Chaynes.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Allysin Chaynes.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, ie in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{gfdl}} to release it under the GFDL. If you can claim fair use use {{fairuse}}.) See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of image pages you have edited by going to "Your contributions" from your user page and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thanks so much. --Joe Beaudoin Jr. ^{Think out loud} 03:22, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

Copyrighted image

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as Image:Charlize_Theron.jpg, but we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from either web sites or printed material. Perhaps you would like to rewrite the article in your own words. For more information, take a look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Happy editing! --Yamla 14:59, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Javan Tiger.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Javan Tiger.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, then 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, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self-no-disclaimers}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, 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 uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 19:40, 2 March 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Jkelly 19:40, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Non-free use disputed for Image:Norema Logo (White).gif

This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Norema Logo (White).gif. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 00:36, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

2003 Maxim Hot 100

A {{prod}} template has been added to the article 2003 Maxim Hot 100, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you endorse deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please tag it with {{db-author}}. TonyBallioni 20:08, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
