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

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use GFDL to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then 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 media, 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 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 unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Longhair 15:22, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Devendra banhart.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Devendra banhart.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. 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. BetacommandBot 13:35, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

License tagging for File:Dundas loch snow.JPG
Thanks for uploading File:Dundas loch snow.JPG. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click the "Edit" tab at the top of the page and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 00:05, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

Unexplained deletion of images
Greetings Citizenthom,

please do not undo other user’s edits without a short explanation. It appears you are removing (rather useful) images, that you authored and uploaded yourself to Commons, from Wikipedia articles. Is there an issue with these files? It would be good to communicate about it so there are no frustrations among article editors. Do you need help or advice from the community?

Hi. I previously uploaded the image, but want it taken down now. I should have left an explanation, sorry. Thanks Citizenthom


 * What is the issue with the files? Is there a copyright problem? The creative commons licensing cannot be revoked, and there is no reason why anyone would be prevented from adding them back to the articles. Removal of contributions simply because the author changes their mind is hard to enforce and not customary on Wikipedia. Can you please expand on your explanation before removing the file entirely? Maybe we can help. The wingtip vortex image certainly is a very valuable image. Ariadacapo (talk) 19:37, 4 August 2013 (UTC)
