Image source problem with Image:Overhead.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:Overhead.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, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. 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. 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 specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on 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 14:57, 25 February 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Mayalld (talk) 14:57, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Mayalld (talk) 15:15, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy by adding commentary and your personal analysis into articles, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Mayalld (talk) 15:57, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Please do not add unsourced or original content. Doing so violates Wikipedia's verifiability policy. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Mayalld (talk) 15:58, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, you will be blocked from editing. ''Please do NOT remove tags that have been added to the article pointing out issues with the article unless you are certain that you have resolved the issues. At present, your single minded determination to continue rewriting this article as you want it, in spite of concerns about the tone expressed to you are begining to look like tenditious editing'' Mayalld (talk) 16:05, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Image licencing
Mayalld (talk) 16:15, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
 * 1) It is not sufficient to licence a work for use on Wikipedia. Images must be licenced under Creative Commons or GFDL licences. Such licences permit other sites to freely copy images found on Wikipedia (even for commercial use) (see )
 * 2) It is up to you as uploader of the file to prove proper licencing. It is not for others to go searching for it. You must either show that the copyright owner has hosted it on their own site with an appropriate copyright tag, or arrange for the copyright owner to contact wikipedia to grant permission as shown at WP:ERP
