Image copyright
Hey Comrade. Could you put a copyright on Image:Schrodingerscat.jpg, which you uploaded? It says you made it, so if you want to allow Wikipedia to use it freely and let others use it, please add the text to the description page. Thanks! 24.224.153.40 00:31, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

Please see Talk:Demographics of Croatia with regard to the image. I appreciate the effort, but it shouldn't have been necessary in the first place. I'm sorry. --Joy &#91;shallot&#93;   17:51, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

VfD on Gracious Professionalism
Hey there,

I noticed that you put a VfD tag on Gracious professionalism on 4/22/05 but you didn't finish the process. Would you like to follow up on the VfD or would you prefer to abandon the process? As a FIRST alum I believe the information on Gracious professionalism should be merged into the main article on FIRST and deleted.

 * I should have been clearer in my previous post. The process for getting an article deleted through voting (the only way to do it unless the article is patent nonsense) is a little complicated. I'd suggest reading the Guide to Votes for Deletion for all the details WP:GVFD. A description of how to list a page for VfD is at the bottom of WP:VFD. Good catch by the way.

Madison and Wikipedia
Hi, I'm a fellow Wikipedian who's also based in Madison. I'm also a freelance writer, and I've been commissioned to write an article on Wikipedia.

Thanks! NickBurns 15:55, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Alfonsosastre.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Alfonsosastre.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-self 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. SteinbDJ 01:06, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Image:Schroedingerscat2.jpg
Hi. Thanks for this image. Can you verify that all the images you used in its creation are public domain or GFDL? Thanks! --Ryan Delaney talk 22:21, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:KohlCenterExterior.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:KohlCenterExterior.jpg. 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 uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Non-free use disputed for Image:Szybalski.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Szybalski.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. 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 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 04:53, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
