File source problem with File:Kimwiggins.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Kimwiggins.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 website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have created [ in your upload log]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4. If the image is copyrighted and non-free, the image will be deleted 48 hours after 07:32, 15 March 2011 (UTC) per speedy deletion criterion F7. 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 or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Fut.Perf. ☼ 07:32, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

License tagging for File:WIGGINS-Prairie-Fire.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:WIGGINS-Prairie-Fire.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 03:06, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

Problems with upload of File:Lewisnclark.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Lewisnclark.jpg. You don't seem to have said where the image came from, who created it, or provided a license tag. We require this information to verify that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia, and because most image licenses require giving credit to the image's creator.

To add this information, select the appropriate license tag from this list, click on this link, then click the "Edit" tab at the top of the page and add the information to the image's description. If you can't find a suitable license tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. If you need help, post your question on Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 03:07, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Lewisnclark.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Lewisnclark.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use 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.

File permission problem with File:Kim d wiggins.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Kim d wiggins.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

 * 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.

Non-free image
I have again removed the non-free image you inserted in Red Cloud's war. Non-free images are not allowed unless a non-free rationale is provided on the image page for each article the image is used in separately. If you do not provide a rationale you cannot use the image in the article. If you do provide a rationale, I will probably challenge it because it is totally unnecessary to have non-free content in that article. In any case, the file will be deleted altogether if a rationale is not provided. Regards,  Spinning Spark  22:52, 9 April 2013 (UTC).

Orphaned non-free image File:Kim Wiggins Painting of the Fetterman Massacre.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:Kim Wiggins Painting of the Fetterman Massacre.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 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).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Fut.Perf. ☼ 14:30, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

Kim Douglas Wiggins
You wrote on my talk page (assume it was you, you were not logged in);
 * You are removing several images that I have uploaded for the Kim Douglas Wiggins article. I would like to know what I should choose to be able to use his paintings in his article where he retains the copyright of the image.  He doesn't want people downloading and using his paintings in published works.  I am sure there are a ton of copyrighted sculptures and paintings on Wikipedia, just how should I upload them for use only on Wikipedia?


 * These paintings are critical in the article for Kim Wiggins as they show samples of his work.


 * Thanks!
 * Juliana

I have not done anything to the Kim Douglas Wiggins article. As you can see from the article history the images were removed by a bot because they had been deleted (not by me). The only related thing that I have done is remove an image from Red Cloud's war where it is unnecessary.

The simple fact is that Wikipedia does not particularly want non-free images because we are a provider of free content and adding such material makes it more difficult for other people to reuse pages. We only use such material where absolutely necessary. There is no way to limit permission only to Wikipedia under our rules, but we sometimes use non-free material if there is a valid fair use rationale.

If you want to use the images as fair use, the first thing you need to do is provide evidence that you have permission to upload them to Wikipedia. You can do this by asking Mr. Wiggins to place a suitable copyright permission notice on his website, or else you can do it through the WP:OTRS system. Once you have that you should provide a link to the permission on the image's Wikipedia page or use a suitable OTRS template such as Template:OTRS permission when OTRS give you a ticket number.

You must also provide a fair use rationale explaining why it is necessary to use the image in the article. This must be done separately for every article the image is used in. Please read Non-free use rationale guideline for more information.  Spinning Spark  16:43, 10 April 2013 (UTC)
