File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Tommypic.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Tommypic.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, 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, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, we also need to know the terms of the license that the copyright holder has published the file under, usually done by adding a licensing tag. 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 Non-free content, 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 created [ in your upload log]. Unsourced and untagged files may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the file will be deleted 48 hours after 10:46, 24 May 2010 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Salavat (talk) 10:46, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. W a c k y Wace talk 16:42, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

How to leave messages for an editor
Hi there!

I saw your note for DragonflySixtyseven at Talk:Tommy Gunn (artist). Since talk pages for deleted articles are regularly deleted fairly quickly (since there's no article, there's not a lot to discuss), I've copied your note over to User talk:DragonflySixtyseven as a courtesy to you.

If you want to leave a message for an editor, their talk page is the best way to do it. So, for example, if you go to Tommy Gunn (artist) and you see that it was deleted by DragonflySixtyseven, just click on the "talk" link right after his/her name, and you'll be taken directly to their talk page. Click on the '+' tab at the top of the page, and you can start a new talk section. That way they will see the message the next time they log on (just like you're seeing this one). When they reply to you, they might reply here. If they reply on their own talk page (to keep the conversation in one place), they might put a talkback notice here for you to alert you to a reply. Some editors don't do that, so it's a good idea to check every now and then on their talk page to see if they've replied. Remember that we are all volunteers and not everyone logs on everyday (the down side to having a real life), so it may be a while before they reply to you.

Hope that helps!--Fabrictramp(public) (talk) 21:51, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
 * The problem was that it looked like it had been copied from some external site. You can use external sites as sources of information, but not as sources of sentences. Say it in your own words. DS (talk) 22:13, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
 * The problem with the article then is that your "own words" basically sounded like an advertisement. Using sentences like "Tommy has always raised the bar and created a name for himself and successfully reinvented himself in each endeavor he takes on." are not encyclopedic.

Moving your talk page
Please don't move your talk page to an article talk page. People need a place to leave messages for you, and the redirect confuses most editors. Thanks! -- Fabrictramp |  talk to me  00:29, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Tommy Gunn.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Tommy Gunn.jpg, which you've attributed to Tommy Gunn. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log]. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.  Ron h jones  (Talk) 19:47, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
