Image copyright problem with Image:100 2401.jpg
Thank you for uploading Image:100 2401.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. LegoKontribsTalkM 07:01, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Image credit
Credit for Wikipedia images is given on the image's page, not on the articles where this image is used, where that information is for all encyclopedic purposes irrelevant. Also, I'd notice your comments more quickly if you left them on my talk page. They are good images, but inserting image creators in articles (unless they are relevant to the topic at hand) is not normally done. Circeus (talk) 06:39, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Los Angeles landmarks
Hi Mollylou12 -- I've noticed your several new articles and photos of Los Angeles landmarks. Nice work with both the pics and the writing!

As Circeus(sp?) mentions above, it seems not to be conventional to include photo credits in wikipedia articles, and i have not been including self-credits for my own. Also, with some or all of your photos, you have indicated "(c)" and your name, but you when you release them under Creative Commons or any other free license that is appropriate for Wikipedia, you do not keep copyright over that image version. Wikipedia does not allow use of copyrighted images, in fact, besides for "fair use" exceptions, so it is confusing to see (c) in image captions in the articles or on the photo page.

I wonder if you have visited List of Registered Historic Places in Los Angeles, a list-article that i helped develop recently, reflecting many recent photos and new articles by Cbl62, especially. I am also drafting a similar list-table of Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monuments. Hmm, perhaps i should get that out in wikipedia mainspace, so others feel more free to add to it....

Anyhow, keep up the good work! Cheers, doncram (talk) 20:40, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Actually, Doncram, when using a CC license, you keep copyright (as you do for GFDL-released material, but unlike when released in the public domain). You just can't assert control over further uses that do not violate the license. I'm not clear whether there is an actual policy or Manual of Style entry on including image credit in articles, but I know none of those ever flew through a Featured Content nomination, so it might as well be in the MoS for all practical purposes. Circeus (talk) 21:27, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for clarifying. I thought technically that with GFDL you could use your own photo again, and that other version could be copyrighted, but did not think the version released under GFDL was still copyrighted.  Whatever the semantics of it are, I think it is confusing to post "(c)" on images released under Creative Commons, it implies that the photo is regular, copyrighted.  So if (c) is ever used here, then also there should be mention of CC or GFDL or whatever is the free-type license (which there is in the photo page itself).  I browsed in wp:MOS and eventually find my way to Captions, which gives examples of photo captions.  No examples or mention of using image credits, ever.  I've never seen photo credits in articles about historic sites. doncram (talk) 00:08, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

NowCommons: Image:Easternstandard cropped by mlsb.jpg
Image:Easternstandard cropped by mlsb.jpg is now available on Wikimedia Commons as Commons:Image:PD-PCL. Commons is a repository of free media that can be used on all MediaWiki wiki's. The image(s) will be deleted from Wikipedia, but this doesn't mean it can't be used anymore. You can embed an image uploaded to Commons like you would an image uploaded to Wikipedia, in this case:.

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from The X Factor Fan Site, a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. NtheP (talk) 19:40, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

Hello:

My Wikipedia page has been up for sixteen years. It is a surprise to me that, all of a sudden, Ploni doesn’t consider me worthy enough to retain my listing, even though I am an off-Broadway playwright, who has been published internationally and had a film made of her work. I’m sorry I’m not accomplished or famous enough for Ploni. Perhaps the fact that my daughter is now in a television show might make me famous/accomplished adjacent enough for Ploni’s standards. Who knows? Very frustrating as it is probably the case that I don’t stand a chance of retaining my listing, no matter what I say.

Interesting to me, just in studying human nature, that this is how some folks spend their time, deleting listings of artists whom they deem not accomplished or famous enough.

Best regards, Molly Mollylou12 (talk) 05:22, 20 May 2022 (UTC)

I really want to thank you and Ploni for so aggressively erasing my accomplishments so thoroughly from Wikipedia. It has caused me terrible upset. I hope some Internet stranger works as diligently to erase all of your accomplishments from the Web while your a senior, still alive, but not quite defunct, yet. Well done. I can assure you, it’s quite depressing. You must be so proud. :/ Mollylou12 (talk) 14:10, 11 August 2022 (UTC)
