Image copyright problem with Image:Terry-Shannon-foto.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Terry-Shannon-foto.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this:.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator.

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you have questions about copyright tagging of images, post on Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags or User talk:Carnildo/images. 14:14, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Terry-Shannon-foto.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Terry-Shannon-foto.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 13:18, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Digital_Equipment_Corporation_employee_coffee_mug.jpg
Thank you for uploading Image:Digital_Equipment_Corporation_employee_coffee_mug.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Nilfanion (talk) 21:12, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Roku Server Protocol


The article Roku Server Protocol has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing General notability guideline and the more detailed Notability (software) requirement. If you disagree and deprod this, please explain how it meets them on the talk page here in the form of 'This article meets criteria A and B because...' and ping me back through WP:ECHO or by leaving a note at User talk:Piotrus. Thank you."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Meetup/Belgium/Wiki Club Brussels/7 January
Hallo, ik zag dat u facilitator van ontmoetingen van wikiclub Brussel bent. Ik edit sinds 2 jaar op wikipedia en ben geïnteresseerd om naar de wikiclub meetup te komen om hierover meer te leren. Plus het lijkt me leuk om eens met anderen hierover van gedachten te wisselen. Er is een potentiëel probleempje: Ik ben niet in het bezit van een laptop! Is het zinvol om zonder laptop naar deze meet-up te gaan? Zijn er nog andere zaken waar ik rekening mee moet houden? Met vriendelijke groet. --Dutchy45 (talk) 23:52, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Geen enkel probleem om zonder laptop te komen. Dan volg je maar mee met wat de anderen doen? Je leert altijd wel een techniek bij. Misschien heb je wel een vraag waar je graag een antwoord op zou krijgen? Geertivp (talk) 08:54, 27 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Ik heb je mailtje gelezen. Jij ook bedankt! Ik heb toch wat interessante dingen opgestoken.

Invitation to participate in the upcoming WPWP Campaign
Hello Wikipedians,

This is to invite you to join the WPWP Campaign to help improve Wikipedia articles with photos and win prizes. The campaign will run from 1st July 2020 to 31st August 2020.

The campaign primarily aims at using images from Wikimedia Commons on Wikipedia articles that are lacking images. Participants will choose among Wikipedia pages without photo images, then add a suitable file from among the many thousands of photos in the Wikimedia Commons, especially those uploaded from thematic contests (Wiki Loves Africa, Wiki Loves Earth, Wiki Loves Folklore, etc.) over the years.

Please visit the campaign page to learn more about the WPWP Campaign.

With kind regards,

Thank you,

Deborah Schwartz Jacobs, Communities Liaison, On behalf of the Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos Organizing Team - 21:32, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

Vyncke
Hi, in 2020 you edited the page about Vyncke, and you wrote the workshop burned down in 2015. Maybe you meant 1915? Second, the sentence His wife Flavie survived with 2 children makes me think that he died, but following statements tell otherwise. Unfortunately, the source is a book that I cannot access. Can you please clarify these sentences? Thanks, sorry for bothering you. K ar.ma 08:36, 13 April 2022 (UTC)

Event coordinator granted
After reviewing your request for the " eventcoordinator " permission, I have enabled the flag on your account until 9 May 2023. Keep in mind these things: If you no longer require the right, let me know, or ask any other administrator. Drop a note on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of the event coordinator right. Happy editing! Chetsford (talk) 00:31, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
 * The event coordinator right removes the limit on the maximum number of new accounts that can be created in a 24-hour period.
 * The event coordinator right allows you to temporarily add the " confirmed " permission to newly created accounts. You should not grant this for more than 10 days.
 * The event coordinator right is not a status symbol. If it remains unused, it is likely to be removed. Abuse of the event coordinator right will result in its removal by an administrator.
 * Please note, if you were previously a member of the "account creator" group, your flag may have been converted to this new group.

N’jai Kunda moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, N’jai Kunda, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Right now, neither of the sources is reliable. Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.
