Image copyrights
Thanks for your recent efforts to add images to Wikipedia articles. However, I feel you may be unaware of what types of images can and can't be used in articles. You have listed you uploaded as being in the public domain because it is a product of the U.S. federal government. In reality, it is on a federal website, but it is actually credited to a ND state agency...not in the public domain. you upload is taken from a Devils Lake community website and from a real estate website. Neither are in the public domain. I would ask that you fully review Wikipedia policies regarding copyrights before you upload more images. Still, I want to thank you again for your efforts to make Wikipedia a better place. --Matth e w UND (talk) 00:34, 4 January 2007 (UTC)


 * The best advice I can give you is to contribute photos you've taken yourself rather than scouring the web for pictures. -- AlexWCovington  (talk) 08:52, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:North-dakota.jpg


A tag has been placed on File:North-dakota.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
