Reg Weaver
Hi, I noticed your message at Talk:Reg Weaver. As I wrote in my message, the problem is a licensing problem. We can't accept material that is not released under the GFDL to Wikipedia for legal and licensing reasons. You can either write an other article in your own words, or release the content of the website under the GFDL with one of the means I mentioned above. I hope I helped you a bit :) -- lucasbfr talk 18:57, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Hello, again. I'm confused. The language above states:

"'If you own the copyright to the material: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org... permitting re-use under the GFDL, and note that you have done so on the article Talk page.'"

I did that, and now you're telling me it's not good enough. I've already written a bio of Reg once; there's no need for me to write another one. I'd prefer not to add language about the GFDL to one of our web pages -- it's bound to trigger a mountain of internal debate and multiple layers of approval that could take weeks to resolve. I just want to post this bio as quickly as possible with as little trouble as possible.

Hi Neaeditor, I've seen your editing on the NEA page, and I just thought I'd say hello. If you're looking for trade union related wiki resources, or other editors interested in unions, you might find some at the WP:UNION project page. Cheers, --Bookandcoffee 20:39, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Nea-symbol-pi-arrow-triangle.gif)
Thanks for uploading Image:Nea-symbol-pi-arrow-triangle.gif. 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. BJBot (talk) 05:23, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
