Unspecified source for Image:Brisbanenepalpeacepagoda.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Brisbanenepalpeacepagoda.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, 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 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 04:05, 28 July 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? --MifterBot (Talk • Contribs • Owner) 04:05, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

Rudd image
Do not add copyright photos. Please get aquainted with wikipedia image policies. The image shall be removed. Timeshift (talk) 12:47, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
 * That's where you're wrong. The image is NOT a copyright-free public domain image. Nowhere does it state here that the images are, in which case we revert to the site's copyright page here. The image is not free. Timeshift (talk) 02:43, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

Copyright violation in Image:Pm KevinRudd official photograph small.jpg
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Image:Pm KevinRudd official photograph small.jpg, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Image:Pm KevinRudd official photograph small.jpg is unquestionably copyright infringement [www.pm.gov.au/your_pm/photograph.cfm], and no assertion of permission has been made. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Image:Pm KevinRudd official photograph small.jpg, 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. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that '''this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Speedy Deletion warning
A tag has been placed on Wheel of Brisbane, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add  on the top of Wheel of Brisbane and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Looneyman (talk) 10:27, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Re:Brisbane 2020 Olympics
Yes, but all the others, which are from more reliable sources, say the earliest is 2024. -- Scorpion0422 10:11, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
 * It says the earliest opportunity to bid will be 2020 because it is impossible to bid for 2012 or 2016. It doesn't say they will bid, it just notes the possibility. The other sources say that 2024 will be the earliest year that they will submit a bid. -- Scorpion0422 10:22, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

2028 Olympics
Please do not add information to the 2028 Olympics page that is not from a verifiable source that refers to 2028. The sources you provided all talk about 2024, not 2028.--TruckOttr (talk) 11:19, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Liulichang
A tag has been placed on Liulichang requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Reliable sources
Hi Laserforce. I've been looking at some of your contributions and have been noticing that quite a few of your sources do not comply with Wikipedia's policy on reliable sources. Forum threads or little backyard job websites (such as this) do not comply with this policy. Could you please take a read through this policy? Thanks for your contributions!

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

New Challenge for Oceania and Australia
Hi, WikiProject Oceania/The 10,000 Challenge and WikiProject Australia/The 5000 Challenge are up and running based on The 10,000 Challenge which has currently produced over 2300 article improvements and creations. The Australia challenge would feed into the wider region one and potentially New Zealand could have a smaller challenge too. The main goal is content improvement, tackling stale old stubs and important content and improving sourcing/making more consistent but new articles are also welcome if sourced. I understand that this is a big goal for regular editors, especially being summertime where you are, but if you'd like to see large scale quality improvements happening for Oceania and Australia like The Africa Destubathon, which has produced over 1700 articles in 5 weeks, sign up on the page. The idea will be an ongoing national editathon/challenge for the region but fuelled by a series of contests to really get articles on every province and subject mass improved. The Africa contest scaled worldwide would naturally provide great benefits to Oceania countries, particularly Australia and attract new editors. I would like some support from existing editors here to get the Challenges off to a start with some articles to make doing a Destubathon worthwhile and potentially bring about hundreds of improvements in a few weeks through a contest! Cheers.♦ --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 02:12, 24 November 2016 (UTC)
