Your image uploads
Hello Karel leermans,

I see that you uploaded several images that come from the website http://www.transatlanticfilms.be. You tagged these pictures as GFDL. Why? I cannot see any remark at this website that would allow one to do so. "Free for publicity" does NOT mean anyone can put this picture under the GFDL license (and I could not even find any mention that those pictures were free for publicity purposes). Do you have any kind of explicit permission from the person or company who owns the copyright to these pictures to upload them here using a GFDL license? If not, they will very likely have to be deleted. Regards --Rosenzweig 17:29, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

dear rosenzweig, i got explicit permission from the producer of Transatlantic Films to use those photo's for publicity, so do not take them away!! his email: yvan.adam1@pandora.be

Unspecified source for Image:Mister and miss Vandeputte.GIF
Thanks for uploading Image:Mister and miss Vandeputte.GIF. 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, then 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, then 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-no-disclaimers tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, 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 04:59, 1 April 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. cohesion 04:59, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Camping Cosmos
It still doesn't seem applicable to the specific definition of "midnight movie"—for instance, there are several American movies that also share attributes with Priscilla, but as they have not been adopted as midnight movies they do not appear in the article. On the other hand, it looks like Camping Cosmos would make a fine addition to the cult film article. Best, Dan—DCGeist 20:23, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Lolo_Ferrari2.GIF
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Lolo_Ferrari2.GIF. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

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 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Videmus Omnia 04:27, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Image:Lolo_ferrari_op_foto.GIF
I have tagged Image:Lolo_ferrari_op_foto.GIF as no rationale, because it does not provide a fair use rationale. If you believe the image to be acceptable for fair use according to Wikipedia policy, please provide a rationale explaining as much, in accordance with the fair use rationale guideline, on the image description page. Please also consider using or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. Thank you. Videmus Omnia 04:28, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

No fair use rational on Image:Lolo Ferrari2.GIF
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Image:Lolo Ferrari2.GIF, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Image:Lolo Ferrari2.GIF, please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD.

Please replace the two images of Lolo Ferrari. === Fair use in Lolo Ferrari === It is a completely free image in direct illustration of the article. This counts for both images.

Replaceable fair use Image:Arno.GIF
Thanks for uploading Image:Arno.GIF. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the image description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MER-C 09:59, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Fair use disputed for Image:Jennifer.GIF
Thanks for uploading Image:Jennifer.GIF. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use.

Theatre practitioners and Bertolt Brecht

 * Hello. Just noticed your changed to BB and followed it back to Jan Bucquoy. He looks very interesting, and I haven't encountered his work before. A couple of concerns though: the BB list of influenced filmmakers comes under pressure from others to justify itself every so often (take a glance at the talk page), soooo, are you able to provide a citation that confirms BB's an influence on Bucquoy? I understand that working in a Situationist vein in film pretty much says he is, but I'd like to be able to defend any inclusions. I might add that I'm not sure about Lindsay Anderson either in that list. I notice a little picture of BB in one of the images for Camping Cosmos, so I'm assuming that won't be too difficult.
 * Also, you've added Bucquoy to the Theatre practitioners category. This seems to be a bit of a stretch. It doesn't mean merely anyone that's worked in theatre, but carries a more specific valence - take a look at Theatre practitioner, for example. He doesn't get a mention in any reference work I've got to hand. So, I've removed that category, but if that's a gap in my knowledge, please let me know.
 * Sorry if they both seem a bit negative. Happy editing. DionysosProteus 21:35, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your comment. I put a source for the influence of Brecht on Bucquoy, his autobiography. Theatre practitioner: you should look at the French page, his theatre career. But I do not put the category theatre practitioner back for him as you must have had good reasons to withdraw it. Karel leermans 14:57, 18 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Hello again. The source looks great, thanks. Might it be possible to provide a rough translation into English of the quoted text? Re: the theatre practitioners... you may gather that I don't speak french from the previous request, but from what i can make out on the french wikipedia, it all looks good. The category, though, only applies if he devised a new theory of acting (or theatre or directing theatre, etc.). Its the theory-practice relationship that theatre practitioner refers to. Looking forward to learning more about the man, though. DionysosProteus 15:13, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Mutter Courage2.GIF)
Thanks for uploading Image:Mutter Courage2.GIF. 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 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.

List of naval battles
Hello Karel You added some information to the List of naval battles (a long time ago, now); the information is supposed to have come from a book by Ph M Bosscher. Do you have the book? Can you tell us what it actually says? There is a discussion here if you wish to comment. Regards, Xyl 54 (talk) 23:26, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
