Orphaned non-free media (File:Calvert Hall HS logo.png)
Thanks for uploading File:Calvert Hall HS logo.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 will be useful. However, please note that media 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 '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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:06, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:BDA airport logo.png


A tag has been placed on File:BDA airport logo.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

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 "Click here to 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 removed 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. Eeekster (talk) 01:03, 3 July 2013 (UTC)

WP:FOUR RFC
There are two WP:RFCs at WP:FOUR. The first is to conflate issues so as to keep people from expressing meaningful opinions. The second, by me, is claimed to be less than neutral by proponents of the first. Please look at the second one, which I think is much better.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 07:02, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Rex Humbard.jpg


A tag has been placed on File:Rex Humbard.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a non-free file with a clearly invalid licensing tag; or it otherwise fails some part of the non-free content criteria. If you can find a valid tag that expresses why the file can be used under the fair use guidelines, please replace the current tag with that tag. If no such tag exists, please add the Non-free fair use tag, along with a brief explanation of why this constitutes fair use of the file. If the file has been deleted, you can re-upload it, but please ensure you place the correct tag on it.

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 "Click here to 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 removed without delay.

Image copyright problem with File:Field of Honor Memorial (Timonium Md).jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Field of Honor Memorial (Timonium Md).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 image description page states the source and copyright status of the derivative work, it only names the creator of the original work without specifying the status of their copyright over the work.

Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the original image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other derivative works, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log].

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Kelly hi! 12:03, 15 October 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Douglas Major.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

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 permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use 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.

Apologies
I'm sorry for all the sudden hassle with the images. As part of a long-term project I've been moving images with the attribution license over to Commons. I've run across your photos there periodically, and since you are a long-term trusted user with many excellent photo uploads, I decided to move all of yours over immediately, so I pulled up your upload log and had a run through it. I do want to say "thanks" for your excellent image contributions, and I'm sorry again for the hassle. I think the only free images I didn't move over were the PD-Pre1978 ones; I'm still finding my way around copyright law and my comfort zone with those. With respect - Kelly  hi! 21:34, 26 November 2015 (UTC)

A file that you uploaded or altered, File:WellsSpicer.JPG, has been listed at Possibly unfree files because its copyright status is unclear or `disputed. An editor believes that because the photo taken before 1885 does not have an author or an initial publication date, it should be removed. This is true of many, many Old West images. If the file's copyright status cannot be verified, it and many others like it may be deleted. You may find more information on the file description page. You are welcome to add comments to its entry at if you object to the listing for any reason. Thank you. — btphelps (talk to me) (what I've done) 22:37, 28 November 2015 (UTC)

Cockeysville Middle School
Hi, I noticed you were the one who took the photo of Dulaney High School, and saw that you were also an administrator. Could you help me expand Cockeysville Middle School?  The StormCatcher   (talk)   (contribs)  07:42, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

Peacock logo
Someone deleted from Color television the logo you uploaded in 2009 for the NBC peacock. They doubt the image is real. I certainly recall a similar image being used by the network, but do you have a reliable source for it? Where did you get it? Regards. Edison (talk) 04:45, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
 * That was a slide (not the animated version) used in the early days when RCA was promoting their "compatible color" system. I got it from an NBC archivist.  JGHowes   talk  16:23, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
