License tagging for Image:Dgmecol1.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Dgmecol1.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. 16:04, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Zappa
Hello Mark, I am impressed by the photograph of you uploaded yesterday. It's a great picture and adds much to the article. Thank you very much for sharing this wonderful piece.

I would like to ask you, if you might consider uploading the picture to commons.wikipedia.org also. Commons, being a sister-project of Wikipedia, is Wikipedia's central media storage - Wikipedia of all languages can include the pictures that are stored there. Personally I very much would like to include your picture in the German Frank Zappa article, which lacks good pictures due to copyright restrictions, which apply there (Fair use of copyrighted matierial is not allowed).

If you should decide for uploading, could you please consider licensing the picture under a Share alike-Creative Commons license? This license would allow to include your picture in a lot of Wikipedias outside the US. An overview for this license is given at the official site of creative commons, the detailed legal code can be read here.

Not beeing a lawyer, this license seems to correspond to your copyright note "This work is copyrighted. The copyright holder allows anyone to use it for any purpose, provided that copyright holder is attributed." - but it would allow many other people to see your picture in a lot of other wikipedias.

Thank you for your time - please put any remarks, comments or questions here, I will check the place regulary to answer you.

Insulting behaviour
Paul McCartney article. May I suggest something to you, Markestabrook? Sorry, but your post is filled with childish comments. "anal compulsion"? Yes, I do have a compulsion to defecate (which is normal) but I wonder what you mean, exactly. "Bizarre"? Explain, please. "I will remove my photo of Paul and Linda from the Wings section" says a lot. It seems to be your photo, but are you promoting yourself? "infantile antics"? This makes me think you wrote your post when you were angry. You may have forgotten, but Wikipedia is about prose, and not only photography, although photographs are very welcome. I do not like to win at anything; I prefer teamwork, which is when we all win. The one thing I seriously object to is your suggestion that I "get a life". I have probably had more life than you have had hot dinners. Be nice, and let's work together. andreasegde 18:22, 9 February 2007 (UTC)


 * He appears to be the copyright holder. I hate postage stamp size pictures on Wikipedia too. Jooler 18:31, 9 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Try writing something and adding in-line citations, which is what Wikipedia really needs. andreasegde 18:40, 9 February 2007 (UTC)


 * I think you should read this: I have just checked out Markestabrook on the web, and he is an extremely talented photographer. I love photographs, which is why I always visit the Photographers' gallery when I am in London. To take out a photo because it is not big enough to suit one's own personal viewpoint is not democratic, or helpful. I have put it back, because it deserves to be in the article. Check out, markestabrook.comandreasegde 18:58, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the support, but don't worry about it. I have removed my photos of Paul from wikipedia. The nazis running this place have ruined a perfectly good idea. Oh, well, I will share my photos on Flickr for those who are interested in looking me up. Mark Estabrook

Orphaned non-free image (Image:DSC-W30 Silver Front med.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:DSC-W30 Silver Front med.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images 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 '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 non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 19:04, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Image:DickParry.JPG listed for deletion
An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:DickParry.JPG, has been listed at Images and media for deletion. Please see the to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. Bigr Tex  21:51, 12 June 2007 (UTC)


 * I didn't delete it, I just nominated it. You can see here that Quadell performed the actual deletion.  I'm not sure who deleted the deletion discussion for this image, it can be seen here.  The reason I nominated it for deletion was that it was not being used anywhere, likely because it had a watermark (text) on the image.  Wikipedia is not a repository for images, and our Image use policy states "user-created images should not be watermarked, distorted, have any credits in the image itself".  I hope this is clear.  If you have any further questions, please feel free to communicate on my talk page. ~  Bigr  Tex  04:25, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

WP:CIVILITY
Please read WP:CIVIL. Edit summaries (e.g. ) where you referred to an anonymous user as a "snake" is completely unacceptable. You're adding in links that violate the external links policy; the anon. was completely correct in taking it out. Please also read WP:AGF. The anon., like you, is trying to improve Wikipedia. He is not a "vandal", he happens to be an incredibly experienced Wikipedian. If you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact me. (By the way, "I will reinsert until the cows come home." if you do decide to continue to add it in "...until the cows come home", you may get blocked for WP:3RR.) Scar ian  Talk  20:48, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

I have read the external links policy, and find no violation of that policy whatsoever. So let me get this straight, so I can understand what you are arguing more clearly... if I log on anonymously and start deleting content from wikipedia, and hide behind PUBLICLY ASSIGNED IP addresses, instead of registering and using my logon persona, somehow I would then have more credibility than a wiki member? What's the point of registering and contributing? In my book, anyone who deletes content under an anonymous IP number is a coward/vandal (irregardless of the politically correct community here it at wikipedia, one man's description is another man's "name calling"). What is the politically correct/sensitive term that describes a person who deletes content anonymously. Huh? Sign in and take responsibility for what you do. Regardless of whether you like what I type, I own it and stand behind it. Mark Estabrook

Speedy deletion of File:Dgmecol1.jpg
A tag has been placed on File:Dgmecol1.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image licensed as "for non-commercial use only," "non-derivative use" or "used with permission," it has not been shown to comply with the limited standards for the use of non-free content. , and it was either uploaded on or after 2005-05-19, or is not used in any articles. If you agree with the deletion, there is no need to do anything. If, however, you believe that this image may be retained on Wikipedia under one of the permitted conditions then:
 * state clearly the source of the image. If it has been copied from elsewhere on the web you should provide links to: the image itself, the page which uses it and the page which contains the license conditions.
 * add the relevant copyright tag.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.
