License tagging for Image:Chiho Aoshima.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Chiho Aoshima.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
 * Image use policy
 * Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Media copyright questions. 18:05, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Can you please be more careful about editing this page. Blanking whole sections of the page, adding copyright text, etc. is considered vandalism. Richard W.M. Jones 22:20, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

My correspondences to the user Richard W M Jones :

First : I am curious to know more about your charges of 'vandalism'. As an artist myself, a student of art history, criticism etc... and having met the artist when she was in town for the opening of the Japan Society exhibition, I was merely trying to set right certain inaccuracies for an article that I myself created. Originally I spent a lot of time on a short essay about the artists work after consulting interviews, essays, etc.... all of which was erased by some user, perhaps yourself to put in a simplified and in my opinion completely inaccurate description on an artist on has done drawings, photos, mixed media work as well as large scale ink jet prints  (the user in question labeled her a 'mural artist'). Therefore, I not only see myself as the victim - more importantly I have concerns over the accuracy of the article in question especially as it relates to a forum or tool I have the utmost respect and love for - Wikipedia.

I would be very interested in your thoughts on this matter and the absurd charges you accuse me of. By copyright text are you accusing me originally of plagarism ? I seriously frown on your entire being in this is the case.

Sincerely,

Joshua@shinkoyo.com

Then Second :

I am new to using Wikipedia - I have now found out about the talk page. It seems to me that you questioned my intelligence, wrongly assumed the time consuming piece I had written was completely plagarised and deleted it. Is that a fair telling of the tale ? It seems to me that you 'smack of' being completely in the wrong my friend from across the seas.

you said "The text of this article has got copyvio written all over it ... However I can't find it on Google, which suggests it was copied from the same magazine that the photograph was taken from. Richard W.M. Jones 09:35, 7 August 2006 (UTC)"
