Copyright Status in Question
I have noticed that you have uploaded many images directly from the website WWII in Color, however, many of the images which you loaded failed to cite the exact website. I saw that there was an old template used for licensing for the use of the images from the WWII in Color website but I can see that this was overturned by Wikipedia. It is fair to say that at least some of the images were indeed copyrighted from various websites and the copyright which you provided on several of the images were made-up license templates. FAQ for WWII in Color

Most of the images stored on ww2incolor.com were collected from government sources or submitted by their respective owners. '''This does not mean that all images on this site are in the public domain. The majority of the images, unfortunately, have an unknown copyright status and therefore it is recommended that you do not distribute or copy them for any commercial purposes unless they are specifically stated to be in the public domain''' (some images have a “public domain” notice in their captions). Most of the images in the gallery are products of government works and therefore are required to be in the public domain by copyright law. However, some of the images were photographed by private individuals, media or other government entities (such as the United Kingdom) that do not fall under public domain law.

Fair use rationale for Image:Vc37.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Vc37.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

P51 Mustang - NA73X photo
I noticed that you uploaded the photo Image:NA-73X.jpg under PD-USGov-Military-Army - stating that "Source does not credit or list United States Army for author, however, the image appears to be old, circa 1940 and is most likely taken by a United States government or United States Army employee"

I'm not sure that "Most likely" is good enough to justify this copyright tag- Other photos I have seen of the Mustang in its initial unmarked state have been credited to North American Aviation. If we cannot find a definative source for this photo, it may be better to replace it with a photo of the prototype with known provence - such as the ones |here, which are credited as US Army.Nigel Ish (talk) 18:32, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Nice work on USACE
I like the additions you've been making to the USACE page. If you're not careful (grin), Sheldonville might accuse you of using Wikipedia to promote USACE! LMAO He's really got an ax to grind; I'm assuming he was affected by Katrina. Anyway, I agree with you about Wikipedia being a kind of crack! I'd definitely consider myself to be a newbie Wikiholic!

Flag officer Images
Signaleer -

I was just editing flag officer and thought it was a rather a bland page. I'm not much up on images, but thought of you. My foray into adding images hasn't been to great to date. I'll try more as I get more experience; but until then, I figured you'd be a good resource based on what you've done for USACE's page. Thanks. Don&#39;tKnowItAtAll (talk) 12:39, 11 June 2008 (UTC)


 * There probably won't be too many images that display just the rank of Admirals or General Officers which are from government websites. This particular subject is hard to show without actually displaying individuals but since the topic encompasses a global outreach, not just about the United States, it would be difficult to track down just the rank from other nations.  That would be my recommendation, as a rule of thumb I try to use images which are public domain so it doesn't violate Wikipedia copyright policies. -Signaleer (talk) 12:49, 11 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Understood. I'm just not good at figuring out which images are public domain without doing a lot of research that I don't really have time for.  Is there a place where I can learn more about how to determine licensing on images?  I know a lot of people use google but that doesn't mean a thing.  Thanks.  Don&#39;tKnowItAtAll (talk) 14:57, 11 June 2008 (UTC)


 * You can find the policies for image copyright on Wikipedia here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Image_copyright_tags -Signaleer (talk) 17:33, 11 June 2008 (UTC)


 * I understand the policy but trying to find images outside of Wikipedia and figuring out if they are public domain or copyright is where I get slowed down. I guess I'm just impatient. LOL

June 30th
In a recent edit, you changed one or more words from one international variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.

For subjects exclusively related to Britain (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to other English-speaking countries, such as Canada, Australia, or New Zealand, use the appropriate variety of English used there. If it is an international topic, use the same form of English the original author used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to the other, even if you don't normally use the version the article is written in. Respect other people's versions of English. They in turn should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any queries about all this, you can ask me on my talk page or you can visit the help desk. 216.163.254.1 (talk) 13:41, 30 June 2008 (UTC)


 * The english used throughout the article is American-English, therefore I changed the word "Theatre" to "Theater". The logic, if the entire article was written in proper English or British English, then I would have not made any edits.  See the policy  Please do not revert your changes. -Signaleer (talk) 18:17, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Image:A-26B in Flight.jpg
A tag has been placed on Image:A-26B in Flight.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I8 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is available as a bit-for-bit identical copy on the Wikimedia Commons under the same name, or all references to the image on Wikipedia have been updated to point to the title used at Commons.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  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  explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Sdrtirs (talk) 07:46, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Publicity_Photograph_of_Dorothy_wearing_the_Rubby_Slippers.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Publicity_Photograph_of_Dorothy_wearing_the_Rubby_Slippers.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at 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 you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

thanks for the move, rather than a AfD, however now the sign says "Aerospace Data Facility East", maybe i should move it to Area 58. Dogue (talk) 15:37, 20 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Is the official name/title of the organization called "Aerospace Data Facility East"? Does this organization have an official website? The Ft. Belvoir website still lists the organization as DCEETA http://www.belvoir.army.mil/tenant.asp?id=all -Signaleer (talk) 21:10, 20 October 2008 (UTC)


 * lol, it is a cover name just like DCEETA, no website. there is no official recognition of this facility, but they use euphemisms when they have to deal with the outside world, all the old references use the DCEETA cover name (the signage is ahead of the justifications, or communication)(btw, DCEETA don't talk too well with Belvoir, they just play them in softball)(the air force black programs have an attitude) oh - btw, if you scroll south of area 58 you will find an army signal station - dishes with no radomes, right behind the elementary school, across from the px. --- I was looking at the style guides and copyright policy, there is no guidance for use of quotes, versus new text; i agree that flow of the article aesthetics  drive the use of new text as transitions.  i will use block quotes. would you support a move to area 58, since the cover name has now changed?Dogue (talk) 15:34, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

An exciting opportunity to get involved!
As a member of the Aviation WikiProject or one of its subprojects, you may be interested in testing your skills in the Aviation Contest!

Sign up here, read up on the rules here, and discuss the contest here. The first round of the contest may not start until September 1st-unless a large number of editors signup and are ready to compete immediately!

Fair use rationale for File:Vc50.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Vc50.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 20:45, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Monica Lin Brown
An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Monica Lin Brown. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Articles for deletion/Monica Lin Brown. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes ( ~ ).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:09, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

I used this pic for a garage collage that I did featuring world war II images like this. Someone asked me who the people were in the pic and I didn't have an answer but no I do thanks to you! I wanted to know if you know who the man is standing two people to the right of Doolittle? The man with his thumb in his pocket?

249th Engineer Battalion (United States)
Thanks for contributing new article 249th Engineer Battalion (United States). However, one of Wikipedia's core policies is that material must be verifiable, by being clearly attributed to reliable sources. Please help by adding more sources to the article you created, and/or by clarifying how the sources already given support the material (see here for how to do inline referencing). Many thanks! PS If you need any help, you can look at Help:Contents/Editing Wikipedia or ask at New contributors' help page, or just ask me. (GregJackP (talk) 06:27, 18 February 2010 (UTC))

File copyright problem with File:400-202xtra.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:400-202xtra.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].

You are now a Reviewer
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 18:09, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:EX25G2.jpg


A tag has been placed on File:EX25G2.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 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 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. ww2censor (talk) 15:16, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:McGinnis on Humvee, Featured in Stars & Stripes.jpg


A tag has been placed on File:McGinnis on Humvee, Featured in Stars & Stripes.jpg, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

G12 copyvio - Stars and Stripes is only partially funded by the DoD - their website says "Stories and photos by Stars and Stripes staffers are copyrighted, and may not be reprinted or used without permission."

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. XLerate (talk) 10:30, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

Better source request for File:Vc46.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Vc46.jpg. You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily.

Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link].

File permission problem with File:P38s 1945 large.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:P38s 1945 large.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 Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See 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 on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kelly hi! 12:02, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

March Madness 2017
G'day all, please be advised that throughout March 2017 the Military history Wikiproject is running its March Madness drive. This is a backlog drive that is focused on several key areas:


 * tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
 * updating the project's currently listed A-class articles to ensure their ongoing compliance with the listed criteria
 * creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various task force pages or other lists of missing articles.

As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.

The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the military history scope will be considered eligible. More information can be found here for those that are interested, and members can sign up as participants at that page also.

The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 March and runs until 23:59 UTC on 31 March 2017, so please sign up now.

For the Milhist co-ordinators. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) & MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 07:24, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

April 2018 Milhist Backlog Drive
G'day all, please be advised that throughout April 2018 the Military history Wikiproject is running its annual backlog elimination drive. This will focus on several key areas:


 * tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
 * adding or improving listed resources on Milhist's task force pages
 * updating the open tasks template on Milhist's task force pages
 * creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various lists of missing articles.

The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the scope of military history will be considered eligible.

This is not the sole focus of the edit-a-thon, though, and there are aspects that hopefully will appeal to pretty much everyone.

The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 April and runs until 23:59 UTC on 30 April 2018. Those interested in participating can sign up here.
