Image copyright problem with Image:Hawaiipolice.jpg
Thank you for uploading Image:Hawaiipolice.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. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 03:01, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Welcome
Hello! I just wanted to welcome you formally to the WP! If you aren't already aware, there are automated "bots" that go around and make minor corrections (as was done at the top of this page). I added the above welcome so you can be better acquainted with how this wiki operates. I would also like to invite you to become a member of WP:WikiProject Law Enforcement. You can also add this template to your user page. If you have any questions on anything, feel free to contact me here! Again, welcome and happy editing!--Sallicio$\color{Red} \oplus$ 03:06, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Just so you know, I made a few grammatical and wiki-flow changes, as well as adding some references so noone will muck up the top of the article with those annoying "need citations" headers. Good work on the HCPD article!--Sallicio$\color{Red} \oplus$ 06:59, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Kaua‘i County Police Department, AfD
Hi, there! I have commented on the AfD to keep the article. You may want to check out WP:NPOV and WP:COI. Knowledge of this may help you in your future article creations. I will help clean up the Kaua'i PD article so it doesn't get deleted. If you need any help with anything or just need some advise on why the wiki-wolves act the way they do, just give me a shout on my talk page located here. Cheers!--Sallicio$\color{Red} \oplus$ 02:33, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Image source problem with File:Policepatches.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Policepatches.jpg.

This image is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such images would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a screenshot of a computer game or movie. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original image must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work.

While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, so the overall copyright status is unclear. If you did not create the original work depicted in this image, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright.

If you have uploaded other derivative works, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. 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, as described in section F4 of the 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 07:57, 12 March 2023 (UTC). 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. --Minorax &laquo;&brvbar;talk&brvbar;&raquo; 07:57, 12 March 2023 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Maui County Police Department


A tag has been placed on Maui County Police Department requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from mauicounty.gov/438/Police-History. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Orphaned non-free image File:Mauipatch.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Mauipatch.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.
