Non-free use disputed for Image:Goldfinger.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Goldfinger.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid.

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.Betacommand (talk • contribs • Bot) 06:36, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Goldfinger.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Goldfinger.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, 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 09:32, 1 June 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MER-C 09:32, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Nocturnal Rites - The Sacred Talisman.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Nocturnal Rites - The Sacred Talisman.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images 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 any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 08:55, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

St. Croix image
Hello, Dinomite. I see that back in June you reverted an edit to the Image:St croix usvi.jpg. In case you hadn't noticed the original image was upsidedown and the edit actually flipped the image so that north at least appeared on the top. You reverted to original image without explaining why or without saying anything in the discussion page of the image or the article it is associated with. You probably did this in error, assuming that the person who did the edit was vandalizing the image, but they were actually correcting the image. So would you re-reverting the image?72.27.58.165 21:39, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I had reverted the image because it had been lossily rotated. I losslessly rotated the image and re-uploaded it. --dinomite 22:28, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

The 129.21.* IP jumped out at me when I was browsing unblock requests, and I figured I'd give it a look. See User talk:129.21.60.122 :) -- krimpet ✽  19:58, 18 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the fix. The machine in question is a TOR node that I run on CSH.  If you haven't been up to CSH, go check it out; it's full of smart people who are (mostly) friendly and inviting.  Unfortunately, that's as welcoming as I can be because I graduated last year and am no longer in the Rochester area. --dinomite (talk) 20:25, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
