Unspecified source for Image:Hermosa_logo.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:Hermosa_logo.gif. 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 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 16:21, 1 July 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ShakespeareFan00 16:21, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

I changed the copyright info for the logo. Camphermosa 16:48, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Camp Hermosa, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under 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 the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add  on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. P4k 16:58, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Ah yes, sorry. I meant to post a message here and forgot. I suppose you and I don't agree on what constitutes advertising but in any case the current practice on Wikipedia is to delete such articles. This is done mostly because Wikipedia is not the Yellow pages. As the note above explained, the subject of an article should satisfy certain threshold criteria to be kept on Wikipedia and any material should be attributable to a reliable published source whereas the article deleted looked like it was simply cut and paste from the camp's brochure. I am also very concerned about the apparent conflict of interest you have when editing this article. For these same reasons, I have also deleted your userpage which should be about your work as an editor on Wikipedia and not about your summer camp. Best, Pascal.Tesson 18:42, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Hello, Pascal. I wasn't intending to use Wikipedia as the Yellow Pages. I can find my local bus company on Wikipedia. You can find information about bands on Wikipedia. Many such articles are little more than brochures with conflict of interest. I was planning to include more information about the camp and its history, but if you only require completely unbiased third parties to do it, then I suppose I shouldn't bother. I created that username for the purpose of providing information about the camp. The userpage was a trial run before adding the information to Wikipedia. There are a lot of things to learn here, after all. It's a little disappointing that you chose to delete it without any warning, but at least you did let me know this time.

 * An essay to consider is inclusion is not an indicator of notability. It's just a guideline, but it basically suggests that just because X has an article, Y does not necessarily need one. And, of course, since you freely admit to having conflict of interest, then you'll be given little leeway when you use Wikipedia for self-promotion. MKoltnow 17:55, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
