You recently contacted me
regarding File:Statue_of_Geo._Washington_at_Rogers_University.jpg and in your message stated, "or by taking a picture of it yourself." I guess that I did not make it clear that I had taken that picture. Will that be good enough? Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 20:49, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

Help
Hello, I am completely new to the process of uploading pictures onto wikipedia. So I don't know what tag(corresponding to licensing/image copyright tags) in particular would best fit the picture I uploaded. I got the picture from this Flickr link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/10189662@N04/860610798/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by MenAfuraka (talk • contribs) 22:47, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

Non-free files missing a rationale
Hi. According to Database reports/Non-free files missing a rationale you have a number of files missing a rationale template. Perhaps you could have a look? It should be easy to find the files if you sort by uploader. --MGA73 (talk) 10:44, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

File:The Wood Engraver by William Newport Goodell.jpg
I am not understanding your edit here. The file is being used with a FUR. Why would it be deleted?-- SPhilbrick (Talk)  14:56, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Mutatis mutandis for File:Willliam Newport Goodell With Self Portrait.jpgand File:Willows in Sunlight by WIlliam Newport Goodell.jpg-- SPhilbrick (Talk)  15:05, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
 * All images need licensing info. A fair use rationale doesn't cover licensing. Melesse (talk) 18:46, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
 * It has Non-free 2D art. What else do you think is needed? SPhilbrick (Talk)  15:40, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I noticed that the three works had two difference licenses:
 * One had Non-free with permission, while two had Non-free 2D art. While the second is correct, the first is a better description. In addition, I notice that one was inside the info box and not rendering, so I chose the better license for all three, and made sure all displayed. I think this is now resolved. I'll remove the notices, let me know if you think I missed something.  SPhilbrick  (Talk)  12:15, 6 June 2012 (UTC)

File:Concordelafayette.JPG
This is a free file, though only in the US, so can you restore its old versions? &mdash;innotata 15:12, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

Manhattan Transfer
The image I added is of the original cover of The Very Best of The Manhattan Transfer. I'm not the most Wiki-savvy person in the world, so my tagging of this image isn't so great. I know that with Appetite for Destruction, and several Scorpions albums the original edited cover appears in the article. I was just seeking to do the same. Rather than delete the image, couldn't you just help me out with the tagging? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.54.246.53 (talk) 13:09, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

Hello. I am the person who uploaded Image:2001humanhibernation.jpg to Wikipedia.

I Specialize in Love
Hi Melesse! Please give me a bit of time to work on your suggestions. My intention is to comply with Wikipedia standards. I donate my time because I'm passionate, as we all are, about providing the highest caliber encyclopedic experience for the user, and whenever possible, I try to provide the reader with both  text and image for optimal historical context. The fact that the name of the article didn't load is a technical problem I encountered; truthfully, I am learning as I go. I need to figure out how to delete the entire image/rationale so I can start over. If you have any suggestions on how to accomplish that task, I'd be ever so grateful! Thank you.

screenshot?
Hello, I am writing an article about a popular Iranian TV puppet character. I want to know if I can use his screenshot pictures in the article or not? Bbadree (talk) 08:56, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Based on all the notifications on your talk page related to fair use images, I would suggest against it. Melesse (talk) 09:10, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks for instant reply, but what I asked was in general. Those images were film posters or screenshots i might haven't add a proper copyright information. This one is a screenshot of the character. Bbadree (talk) 10:08, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, if you're sure you now understand how to write a complete and satisfactory fair use rationale, feel free. Be aware though, that a screenshot of a copyrighted character will require proper copyright information just the same as a film poster or film screenshot.

121.54.66.11
Hey. I noticed that you blocked 121.54.66.11 indefinitely. Was that intentional? Prolog (talk) 08:35, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes. Melesse (talk) 16:51, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
 * IP addresses should not be blocked indef. The duration needs to be reduced to five years or less. I'll add that the only five-year IP blocks I have seen have been on open proxies. Prolog (talk) 18:09, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Ok, didn't know that. Changed. Melesse (talk) 05:11, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

West Virginia Barnstar??
Hey there. Neutralhoner said I could drop by and ask about a WV Barnstar. If you could PLLLLLLEEEEEASE make one, I would be very gratefulCoal town guy (talk) 01:50, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Sure, I could make one for you. What did you have in mind? A barnstar with the map shape of West Virginia in the middle? Melesse (talk) 07:16, 28 September 2012 (UTC)

Thank you
Thank you for the deleting the "File:51sqFVjcxGL. SL500 AA300 .jpg ‎". This mistake happened when the Wikipedia site was down a few minutes ago. Can you tell how to delete your own file? Please reply back on talk page. Sysmithfan (talk) 19:34, 7 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Okay. Are you also an admin? Sysmithfan (talk) 00:04, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah. If that happens again you can ask me to delete the problem file, or you can ask any other admin you might know. Melesse (talk) 01:31, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

I want to give a Category to a deleted file
I would like to categorise with the following  but it asks me to Create a file and then tells me it has previously been deleted and that I should contact you. Is there a work around this problem? Thanks for any help.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 05:16, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
 * The image isn't technically on Wikipedia anymore, it's on Commons. I don't know that there is a way to add it to that category. By the way, non-free images shouldn't be displayed in list categories, see WP:NFG for how to resolve that. Melesse (talk) 05:42, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

Poster
Melesse,

You posted an article "File:Incrediblepetrifiedworld.jpg"

I am looking at the poster and wondering if you know any way of contacting the people who might have the copywrite. I cant find the company existing any more.

I found that you uploaded an image of Szyk's on the Warsaw Ghetto.

Non-free use of File:'Arch Falls', bronze sculpture by Bryan Hunt, 1981, Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.JPG
Thank you for uploading File:'Arch Falls', bronze sculpture by Bryan Hunt, 1981, Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.JPG. However, there is a concern that the use of the image on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content. Details of this problem, and which specific criteria that the image may not meet, can be obtained by going to the image description page. If you feel that this image does meet those criteria, please place a note on the image description or talk page explaining why. Do not remove the di-fails NFCC tag itself.

An administrator will review this file within a few days, and having considered the opinions placed on the image page, may delete it in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion or remove the tag entirely. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 22:03, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
