Image copyright problem with Image:Cynyhia_Leonard.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Cynyhia_Leonard.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 on Wikipedia 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. You can get help on image copyright tagging from Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags.

Image:Cynyhia Leonard.jpg listed for deletion
An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:Cynyhia Leonard.jpg, has been listed at. Please look there 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 its not being deleted. Thank you.

{helpme} Shortly after I contributed this article, I had a response from the help desk that it was VERY unlikely this photograph is still under copyright. The image was scanned from a photo entitled "Mama" in a book called "Lillian Russell: The Era of Plush," by Parker Morrell, copyrighted 1940 by Random House. The copyright refers to the book and not to the photograph; the picture is one of several photographic illustrations in the book, most of which identify the source of the photo as "Culver Service." There is one photo which identifies the source as "Max Haas," and one which identifies "World Wide Photos," but three photos (including the one in question of Cynthia Leonard) do not identify the source. Although I do not know the date this picture was taken, since Mrs. Leonard died in 1908, it seems highly unlikely this photograph could still be protected by copyright, but please advise if there is any other way I can verify this.

On another subject, this article should be linked to the article on Lillian Russell, but I haven't figured out how to do it. Could you please either take care of this for me or explain how I go about creating the link? Thanks! Mississippi King


 * About the image: since public domain depends on when the image was first published you are going to need to contact the publishers and track down the correct information for the image (since all we know is that is was published in 1940 - which I don't think is a public domain timelapse). Media copyright questions is where you could ask about this sort of thing.


 * About the linking: I am unsure what you mean, could you explain it more and use {helpme} again so we know to check back?--Commander Keane 03:51, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

{helpme} Yes, I will check with Random House about the copyright. The linking question has to do with the fact that Lillian Russell already has a Wikipedia article, and Cynthia Leonard was her mother. Isn't that an indicator that they should be linked? If so, I'm not sure how to do it.


 * Apart from actually including the text  Her mother was Cynthia Leonard  to the article Lillian Russell, I'm not sure of any other way to link the articles. There are Categories that gorup articles, but a category just for this family probably does not exist.--Commander Keane 04:32, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Joseph Jerome ("Jo-Jo") Meggs (Meggs)
A tag has been placed on Joseph Jerome ("Jo-Jo") Meggs (Meggs), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable (see the guidelines for notability here). If you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add  on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself.

Please read the criteria for speedy deletion (specifically, articles #7) and our general biography criteria. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. —Ryūlóng (竜龍) 07:22, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

If you read the article, I think you'll change your mind. This involves circus history.

I think I've made my case for not deleting this article, but I have corrected a spelling error in Mr. Megz' last name. Unfortunately, I have no way to correct it in the title of the article. Or will this happen automatically if the page is allowed to remain?
 * This person is just not notable per our guidelines for notability. Please read WP:BIO and WP:N.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 07:52, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

I can perhaps understand that Mr. Megz may not meet Wikipedia's notability requirement (though I don't agree), but I am resentful of the accusation that this is a possible hoax. If you look at my previous contributions, you will see that they have been well-documented, and an editor emailed me after my first submission that I would be a valuable assett to Wikipedia. I have today amended the way Mr. Megz' name is presented, so hope that if the article is retained, the title will change to make it more searchable. I anxiously await your reply.
 * Having an article by you deleted is no judge of your character, nor your wiki-character. Most people can't even tell when an article you wrote was deleted. If you can find a reliable source for your article, then you can prove that it is not a hoax. That is the best way. -Royalguard11 (Talk·Desk·Review Me!) 00:22, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Help me I'm not able to figure out how to add this image to the articles about Robert Drouet and Mary Mannering. Can you give me instructions or do it for me? Thanks


 * Before you add the image to any articles, you must read the message above. You need to tell us where the image comes from and who created it. If you don't it will be deleted, as we have no way to verify if it really is in the Public Domain like you say. Just add a few lines to the image discription page (Image:Robert Drouet.jpg) saying where the image came from. If it came from a website you should give the link.
 * Once you have done that you can add the image to relevent articles. How_to_edit_a_page and Extended image syntax should tell you what you need to know.
 * Finally, after you make a comment on a talk page, you should sign you comment by typing four tildes after the message, like ~ . This will automatically be converted to your username and the date, so everyone will know that you wrote the message. See how my signature appears at the end of this post.
 * I hope this helps you. The first thing you must do is add the source of the image to the image discription page. If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Raven4x4x 07:15, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Help me Ok, I think I've done everything I was supposed to, but now the picture is uploading as a thumbnail. I don't know how to enlarge it, and I don't know how to move the caption from the side to the bottom. PLEASE make this stuff easier to understand! (or do it for me)!

 * I changed the image in the Robert Drouet article. Please look at Picture tutorial. There you can learn, how to include pictures within an article.--Thw1309 08:15, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Mary Mannering.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Mary Mannering.jpg. 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. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 23:20, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Cynthia Leonard.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Cynthia Leonard.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, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have created [ in your upload log]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4. If the image is copyrighted and non-free, the image will be deleted 48 hours after 23:39, 7 May 2010 (UTC) per speedy deletion criterion F7. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 23:39, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
