Unspecified source for Image:Sfseal.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:Sfseal.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 uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. —The preceding signed comment was added by Angr (talk • contribs). 18:49, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

This template does not function correctly anymore. Every person who voted for George Washington (last week's winner) does not have a message about George Washington anymore, but about Volcano, this week's winner. Errabee 12:03, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Taichung City
I am new on WikiProject Cities. I have added considerable content to the first city I am working on, which happens to be the city of my residence, Taichung City. Would you mind taking a few minutes to look it over and leave comments on how you think I can make it better to bring it up to WikiProject Cities standards in a section of the discussion page for the city’s article page that I have set up.

Thank you. Ludahai 03:40, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Image:Indiana MSA map.png
Thanks for uploading Image:Indiana MSA map.png. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the image description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Peter O. (Talk) 06:10, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Scotch broom
If you look at the article, you'll notice MPF never removed the fact that Cytisus scoparius is called Scotch Broom in North America. While his moving of the information in a different might not be wise, it can hardly be called "censoring". Usually, it is recommended to use the common name either most widespread, or used through the native range of the species, which is probably why MPF placed Common Broom first in the article.

Hi, Davodd! Just as an FYI, when you add the LGBTProject tag, it doesn't need the. Doesn't hurt it, but doesn't need it either :) – SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 01:28, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Image:2000-census-reapportionment.jpg
Hi Davodd, you uploaded the image very early without source mentioning census.gov pic. I moved the image on commons which has been tagged with no source image. I am unable to find out the source link. Would you add the source link to the image. Regards, Shyam  ( T / C ) 06:50, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

AfD nomination of 2007 in New Zealand television
An editor has nominated 2007 in New Zealand television, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not"). Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes ( ~ ). You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it.

Image copyright problem with Image:SF_marriage_license.png
Thank you for uploading Image:SF_marriage_license.png. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Hbdragon88 01:00, 14 March 2007 (UTC)


 * To clarify, only federal works are guaranteed PD (and that would be PD-USGov), while state works are usually copyrighted. In either case, it's definitely not PD-old. Hbdragon88 01:01, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Image:SF_marriage_license.png listed for deletion
An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:SF_marriage_license.png, has been listed at. Please look there to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. hbdragon88 01:56, 12 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Just so you know, Davodd, your image's licensing is perfectly fine, as far as I can see. However, it worries me that you've uploaded such a personal document to a public forum.  Your private information could easily be used inappropriately by a malicious user; you've made yourself particularly open to identity theft.  You may have reduced its resolution, but the old version will always be available, as will the full version even if you were to blur any particularly sensitive information.


 * Just looking out for your privacy; I'm very protective of mine. I'd recommend contacting another Wikipedia administrator if you should reconsider; they could delete the image and you could re-upload it with only the pertinent information still legible.  Just a thought. – Madman bum and angel (talk – desk) 14:58, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

GAC backlog elimination drive
This form message is being sent to you either due to your membership with WikiProject Good Articles and/or your inclusion on the Good article candidates/List of reviewers. A new drive has been started requesting that all members review at least one article (or more, if you wish!) within the next two weeks at GAC to help in removing the large backlog. This message is being sent to all members, and even members who have been recently reviewing articles. There are almost 130 members in this project and about 180 articles that currently need to be reviewed. If each member helps to review just one or two articles, the majority of the backlog will be cleared. Since the potential amount of reviewers may significantly increase, please make sure to add :GAReview underneath the article you are reviewing to ensure that only one person is reviewing each article. Additionally, the GA criteria may have been modified since your last review, so look over the criteria again to help you to determine if a candidate is GA-worthy. If you have any questions about this drive or the review process, leave a message on the GAC talk page. --Nehrams2020 23:57, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Scifipedia, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because it is an article about a certain website, blog, forum, or other web content that does not assert the importance or significance of that web location. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 7 under Articles, as well as notability guidelines for websites. Please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources which verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material, please affix the template  to the page, and put a note on Talk:Scifipedia. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Thanks. -wizzard2k ( C •  T  •  D ) 06:18, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
