Please stop adding nonsense to Wikipedia. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. Mangojuice 15:29, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Amody2.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Amody2.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this:.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Thank you. DES (talk) 18:12, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Amody.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Amody.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use GFDL to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then 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 media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, 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 unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. DES (talk) 18:19, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Image uploads
All your inmage uploads so far lack information on who took the pictures or wheree you foundf the paictures, adn who holds the copyright on the pictures. See our copyright policy page. We cannot host any pictures unless we know who created them or where they come from. We also need toknow what license we cn use a picture under. If you created the picture, you should relase it under the GFDL. (You can use GFDL-self for this purpose, IF you took the picture.) Otherwise we need a release from the copyuright owner, or evidence that the pciture is in the Public domain or a good reason why it can be sued under fair use. If you uplaod a picture, it is your reponsibility to provide this information. if you don't the picture will be deleted after seven days. If you ahve the info but don't understand how to provide it, you can leave a msg fro me at User talk:DESiegel, or ask at the Help desk. DES (talk) 18:28, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
