Warning
Please stop uploading images without source and copyright information. Also, please do not upload images taken from other websites - in most cases these are copyright violations. Thanks. --Hetar 07:10, 25 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Their "ok" is insufficient for use on Wikipedia. In order for them to be used here, they either need to have a detailed fair use rationale, or be released under a free license, so that anyone can modify them in any way and for any reason (including for commercial purposes). Images without this information will eventually be deleted. --Hetar 07:14, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Steeldogs-helmet.gif)
Thanks for uploading Image:Steeldogs-helmet.gif. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Fritz S. (Talk) 14:10, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

A Christmas Story
You wrote: Mavarin... let's calm down a little bit on the removing/reallignment of information on A Christmas Story. Just waltzing through and removing other's additions with no mention of why is considered extremely rude. This isn't your article... it's our article. Thanks. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bamassippi (talk • contribs) 14:37, 26 November 2006 (MST.
 * First of all, I'm sorry you're upset. It is certainly not my intention to ruin your work, or the article.  Quite the contrary: I'm trying to preserve as much of it as I can and still conform to Wikipedia guidelines. The fact is that many articles have had trivia sections added and then deleted several times, per WP:AVTRIV. Many Wikipdians, generally those with a "deletionist" orientation, don't want any trivia in articles at all. When they see a trivia section, they will often just delete the whole thing, or just save one or two items and merge them in elsewhere. See, for example, Talk:A_Christmas_Story, in which I responded the last time someone deleted the trivia section.  See also Talk:Back to the Future for more discussion of the same problem. Trust me, there are lots of editors out there who are much tougher on trivia sections than I am. I was trying to forestall their deletion of your material by putting it in appropriate sections, per Wikipedia guidelines.
 * Second, I put an edit summary on everything I did, explaining each move. I specifically said, "Trivia stuff needs to be merged into appropriate sections - e.g. settings.)" This is not something I'm doing to be mean to you; it's the generally accepted guideline, although I did not cite that at the time. Still, the problem had just been mentioned on the talk page, so I didn't exactly operate in an informational vacuum.
 * Third, some of your trivia repeated information already stated elsewhere. Please read through an article before adding the same info again. This was also mentioned in my edit summaries.
 * Fourth, many Wikipedians make a big deal of citing reliable sources for pretty much every fact in an article, particularly everything that can't be derived just from looking at a television screen. This, too, is a well-established and generally accepted Wikipedia guideline. Although there are lots of articles that do not do a good job of this, there are also lots and lots of Wikipedians who want anything and everything to have citations.  None of your material has citations, and it's not straight from watching the movie, either. The bar is also set fairly high for what a reliable source is: no blogs, no fan forums. I don't always agree with that standard, but that's what it is.
 * Fifth: my moves of images were to have them illustrate appropriate blocks of text. Perhaps the exact placement can be improved, but there's a reason for this beyond just keeping things organized. A screen shot is a "fair use" image, and requires something called a "fair use rationale" for using it.  Basically, as I understand it, you can't have lots of these in any one article, and each one needs to have a good reason for being there, and illustrate something specific.
 * I hope you will find this helpful, and not shoot the messenger. Like you, I'm just trying to make the article as good as it can be - but I'm trying to follow Wikipedia guidelines in doing so. Have a great day, and happy editing! Oh, and please sign your comments on talk pages with four tildes. Thanks! Karen | Talk | contribs 22:32, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Jalin-Wood.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:Jalin-Wood.gif. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. 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 Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See 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 you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. —Angr 15:40, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Walker High School (Jasper, Alabama)
I've added the "prod" template to the article Walker High School (Jasper, Alabama), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at Talk:Walker High School (Jasper, Alabama). You may remove the deletion notice, and the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria. --Slowking Man 04:38, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:WhslogoSHIELD.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:WhslogoSHIELD.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this:. If you have not already done so, please also include the source of the image. In many cases this will be the website where you found it.

Please specify the copyright information and source on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Slowking Man 04:38, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

The Collegian (Mississippi College)
I noticed that you reverted my merging of The Collegian (Mississippi College) into Mississippi College. Basically, I don't think the article has the potential to become anything more than a stub. The paper doesn't seem to be too notable outside the context of the school, so I think it'd be best as a section in the college's article. --Slowking Man 07:52, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Mc-provine.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Mc-provine.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 Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See 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 Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 14:06, 3 April 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Fritz S. (Talk) 14:06, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Non-free use disputed for Image:Smalljnd logo.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:Smalljnd logo.gif. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read carefully the instructions at Non-free content and then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure 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 05:35, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Commercial use of Image:MCprovine.jpg
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Image:MCprovine.jpg, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Image:MCprovine.jpg has a copyright license type implying some type of restricted use, such as for non-commercial use only, or for educational use only or for use on Wikipedia by permission, which was either uploaded on or after 2005-05-19 or is not used in any articles (CSD I3). While it might seem reasonable to assume that such files can be freely used on Wikipedia, this is in fact not the case. Please do not upload any more files with these restrictions on them, because content on Wikipedia needs to be compatible with the GNU Free Documentation License, which allows anyone to use it for any purpose, commercial or non-commercial. See our non-free content guidelines for more more information.

If you created this media file and want to use it on Wikipedia, you may re-upload it (or amend the image description if it has not yet been deleted) and use the license GFDL-self to license it under the GFDL, or cc-by-sa-2.5 to license it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license, or use PD-self to release it into the public domain.

If you did not create this media file but want to use it on Wikipedia, there are two ways to proceed. First, you may choose one of the fair use tags from this list if you believe one of those fair use rationales applies to this file. Second, you may want to contact the copyright holder and request that they make the media available under a free license.

If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. This bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Image:MCprovine.jpg itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. If you have any questions about what to do next or why your image was nominated for speedy deletion please ask at Media copyright questions. Thanks. --Android Mouse Bot 2 18:00, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Logosteeldogs-old.gif

Speedy deletion of ChemPoint
A tag has been placed on ChemPoint, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read our the guidelines on spam as well as the Business' FAQ for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, 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 would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Image copyright problem with Image:Jfbc.jpg
Hi Bamassippi!

We thank you for uploading Image:Jfbc.jpg, but there is a problem. Your image is currently missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. Unless you can help by adding a copyright tag, it may be deleted by an Administrator. If you know this information, then we urge you to add a copyright tag to the image description page. We apologize for this, but all images must confirm to policy on Wikipedia.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks so much for your cooperation. This message is from a robot. --John Bot III (talk) 19:15, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:13, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Walkerhighschooljasper.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check


 * That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
 * That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.
