User talk:GVB012009

You're off to a flying start!
You've made some excellent contributions! This is a great place, isn't it? And an addicting one, too. It's my pleasure to leave you the customary new user welcome template below, though some of this stuff is going to be old hat to you already. Cheers, Fernando.

Welcome
Hi GVB! I've just seen your post on the bleach page. Welcome, and edit away! Bear in mind that unless you read the amazingly large amount of procedures and guides, you might get it wrong here and there... Hopefully the more senior editors around here don't bite you too hard, they do a ton of work but sometimes might come across a bit blunt :) If you can take their advice you will be an awesome asset to have. Here is some advice I gave to a senior-but-new user a little while ago- this isn't to say that I'm aiming it at you at all but it paints a good picture I think.

 * Freestyle, thanks for your hospitality and openness. I am duly prepared to keep ego out of the reception my edits may inspire... ;-) .  Per your link to the other neophyte, I really like the evenhanded nature of Wikipedia; be assured that the mention of qualifications was for the sole purpose of having people know I'm not pulling information out of some bodily orifice.  In my everyday life, I virtually ***never*** use the title, unless someone tries to pull rank or status by doing so first (or unless someone else sneaks it in, which happens more than I am comfortable with).  Between friends (and good colleagues), I'm just Greg.  Thanks again!  GVB012009 (talk) 18:54, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Clorox Bleach Bottle.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Clorox Bleach Bottle.jpg, which you've sourced to Laura Jacobs. 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 , 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 take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

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 .

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 File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File 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 created in [ your upload log]. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MilborneOne (talk) 18:44, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

Non-free rationale for File:Clorox Bleach Bottle.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Clorox Bleach Bottle.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.
