Speedy deletion of SoftRock
A tag has been placed on SoftRock, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as the Business' FAQ for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. TrulyBlue (talk) 09:15, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Colour_Televisor_Picture.JPG
Thanks for uploading File:Colour_Televisor_Picture.JPG I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license 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 [mailto:permissions-en@wikimedia.org 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 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 [mailto:permissions-en@wikimedia.org permissions-en@wikimedia.org].

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, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. 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 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 uploaded by following this link. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.  MBisanz  talk 19:42, 10 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi. Your image [File:Colour_Televisor.JPG] description refers to a closeup [File:Colour_Televisor_Picture.JPG] that seems from the above to have been deleted due to copyright problems. I would like to see the picture and wonder what the problem is. Discuss? Cuddlyable3 (talk) 08:18, 29 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I moved your post from my page to keep the thread here.


 * Hello


 * Thanks for stopping by my Talk page. I'm not sure if this is the right way to respond - if not then please delete this post!


 * The image in question was probably my close-up shot of a colour Baird-style mechanical television system - one of only a very few examples known to be operating anywhere in the world. I took the photo myself, uploaded it myself, gave it the appropriate copyright tag (release to public domain IIRC) and then someone came along and deleted it. As you'll see from my Talk page it's not the first time it's happened to my contributions to Wikipedia and I'm frankly so peeved at the whole thing that I'm unlikely to continue contributing to the project.

 * Hi. When I first made diagrams and tried to give them public domain license I found that is easier said than done. I have not had a problem since I learned to use the drop-down menu of licenses in the "Upload file" tool. (I was trying to write a personal declaration but these licenses must be tags readable by copyright checking bots, one of which I think has been giving you grief i.e. not a person.) The last image I made is File:GIFPAL.png. A bot should not object to the license tag PD-self. I notice that you got some help in putting a license tag PD-old-70 on Fultograph_print.jpg which worked alright. (Those tags in bold are actually surrounded with curlys but it won't look good to do that here.). I hope this helps you reload the images that were deleted.

File source problem with File:Stooky.JPG
Thank you for uploading File:Stooky.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, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a [ list of your uploads]. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. mabdul 20:28, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

Non-free rationale for File:RadCom-Mar-2006-Cover.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:RadCom-Mar-2006-Cover.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 11:12, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

File:RadCom-Mar-2006-Cover.jpg
Strange,I only got you response a few hours ago, If it's clearly authorised, you will need to send in the verification per the instructions here - Declaration_of_consent_for_all_enquiries, If it's your own photo that was used on the cover, let me know and this can be resolved very quickly. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 21:46, 20 March 2015 (UTC)


 * I've also requested a deletion review on the other 2 images which are mentioned as having issues here. Both those images could be reinstated if the issues as to sourcing and attribution are resolved, with appropriate declarations as noted. As an editor of a respected publication, you are in a better position than most to understand why Wikipedia takes copyright and attribution concerns so seriously, however when mistakes or "bad calls" have seemingly occurred, it is only reasonable that efforts are made to clarify. Your feedback which could aid the Deletion Review would be greatly appreciated. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 22:29, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

File:RadCom-Mar-2006-Cover.jpg
If your organization would like to release File:RadCom-Mar-2006-Cover.jpg into the public domain, please send a statement of permission similar to the one found at WP:CONSENT to permissions-en@wikimedia.org. Unfortunately, we cannot accept, on the basis of what is said on Wikipedia, permission for anything that has been previously published outside of Wikipedia because we have no way of verifying your account. But if you contact permissions-en@wikimedia.org, then I, or another OTRS volunteer, can add the appropriate tags to the image. --B (talk) 11:59, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
