Image source problem with Image:Lucas bolsius.jpg
This is an automated message from a robot. You have recently uploaded Image:Lucas bolsius.jpg. 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, 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 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 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 22:55, 24 September 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. If you believe you received this message in error, please notify the bot's owner.

License tagging for Image:M VA0958.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:M VA0958.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
 * Image use policy
 * Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Media copyright questions. 23:08, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Notability of Johannes François Snelleman
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Johannes François Snelleman, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Johannes François Snelleman seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Johannes François Snelleman, please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that '''this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Hi, the recent edit you made to Hendrik Pieter Nicolaas Muller has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive.

Will (talk) 20:25, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Your statement on the talk page confused releasing an image to the public, and releasing an image into the public domain, which are different concepts. PhilKnight (talk) 22:41, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

 * For some reason source description did not copy. I restored this. Image is solidly in the '70 years or less' public domain of the three PD-tags used (they complement each other!). The image was produced in 1900 in the Netherlands. Note on reusage was misconstrued or phrased inaccurately: keeper of the image (Provincial Archives of the Free State, South Africa) just appreciates full recognition of custodianship in re-usage and notification through address given. Hope this suffices; please remove tag. Michel Doortmont (talk) 20:26, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for clearing it up. I have one more question: What do you mean "source description did not copy"? Where did you copy from? MECU ≈ talk 12:39, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
 * It did not copy from the standard template that I (re)used, I think. Michel Doortmont (talk) 15:18, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
