.==License tagging for Image:946.jpg== Thanks for uploading Image:946.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
 * Image use policy
 * Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Media copyright questions. 07:05, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

. I need help, I am working on the Corinna Fugate article, I have the info there, but it looks untidy and I am not certain of how to fix it. I need help.

I uploaded a photo I took of Corinna Fugate at home, my own work and it is nowhere on the web.

How do I add it to Corinna's article?

Thank you Amy


 * I've added the picture for you. You can go to the article, click history and then "Compare selected versions" to see what was changed. Please note you must tag the picture appropriately, so that we can keep track of which license it is under. Adding this: pd-self to Image:946.jpg should do it. I've also added some helpful links above, in a welcome message. Cheers! Henrik 08:29, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Corinna
I think there's a problem with your editing of the Corinna Fugate page. While I am certain you mean well, you are adding a lot of what we here on Wikipedia call fancruft. This is a lot if information that is appropriate on a fan site about an artist, but is not appropriate to an encyclopedia. You might want to read a number of other artists on musicians to get a feel for an acceptable tone for an article. There's a lot that I know about a number of artists that I'm a fan of, but it's not acceptable for an encyclopedia. Please keep that in mind when adding.

Second, you absolutely MUST NOT cut and paste sections of newspapers to the encyclopedia articles. This is a violation of copyright, and it can lead to you being blocked if you keep doing it. If you would like to keep contributing to articles about Corinna and artists you like, you need to rewrite the articles to make the important points, and then cite them well. Things that you cute and paste have to be removed, by law. --Thespian 08:12, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Notable instruments and Corinna Fugate
John Denver's 1910 guitar that he was given by his grandmother. Tori Amos' Bösendorfer piano. Mark Sandman of Morphine used to trick out his fretless bass guitar with a mix of bass and regular guitar strings to create his own sound. Those are Notable Instruments. Corinna plays piano, guitar and sings is covered in the info box under 'instruments', and you do not need to add anything else to it. --Thespian 03:30, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Question
The photo I submitted to the Corinna Fugate page is gone. I took the photo of her myself and released it to public domain. It was up on her page, then someone removed the image, I strongly feel it was vandalism. Can someone please assist me in restoring the photo on the page?

Thank you for helping! Still new at this!

Amy
 * Hi Amy. I'm sorry for the confusion. I have reviewed the history on the Corinna Fugate page and hopefully I can explain why the image was removed from the page. The image was removed from the page because the image was deleted by an administrator and therefore no longer exists, so the link on the page was a dead link that wasn't really an image. The removal was not vandalism, as it is necessary to remove images from articles after they are deleted.
 * Now, as for the reason that the image was deleted. Wikipedia policy states that you must put an image license tag on the image page indicating how the image is licensed on Wikipedia. Simply stating that you took the picture yourself is not enough, you must put one of the many image tags we have on the page. You can choose from tags that say you've released the image to the public domain, released the image under the GFDL, etc. Bots and users routinely go through newly uploaded images and if they don't have a licensing tag, they will be tagged for deletion after a five-day grace period. From now on, when you upload an image you've taken yourself and want to release it to the public domain, use the tag . If you'd like to release it under the GFDL, use . --Nick—Contact/Contribs 06:40, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

image copyright.
I have found a half dozen other shots from this photoshoot for the 'Snow White' album, and nothing that would indicate you have the legal right to upload it; if these pictures were taken for Corinna Fugate, she holds the copyright on them. Please have her contact Wikipedia with permissions, or provide more detail than you have.

Copyright problems with Image:Corinna picture.jpg
An image that you uploaded, Image:Corinna picture.jpg, has been listed at Copyright problems because it is a suspected copyright violation. Please look there if you know that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), and then provide the necessary information there and on its page, if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. Thespian 21:00, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Notification
A tag has been placed on Corinna Fugate, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page 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 confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Orange Mike 17:02, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
