License tagging for Image:LVICrew.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:LVICrew.jpg. Wikipedia gets hundreds 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. 19:06, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Re: HELP! I'm confused...
Hi! As no one seems to have said this to you yet—Welcome to Wikipedia! I hope that your brush with article deletion does not discourage you from using Wikipedia.

I am uncertain of the nature of the copyright issues that you mention—I think that this may have been more to do with photographs that were in the Les Voyageurs Inc. article than the text of the article. The article itself was deleted through a process known as proposed deletion. This is a process designed to filter out non-controversial article deletions from the hundreds of deletion requests that are made each day. The process works like this: if an editor comes across the article that they feel doesn't fit with Wikipedias inclusion policies they can tag it for proposed deletion. There is then a period of five days in which anyone is free to remove the tag if they disagree with the article being deleted. Once a tag is removed, the deletion of the article can no longer be regarded as non-controversial, so if an editor wishes for it to be deleted they have to use the longer process described at WP:AFD. If the deletion is not disputed then an administrator will delete the article once the five days are up.

In the case of the Les Voyageurs Inc. article, the editor who tagged it for deletion stated "Most likely an advert" as the reason for deletion. This was uncontested for five days, and so the article was deleted. As I understand it, if you now wish to contest the deletion of this article I can undelete it without any further discussion, however, you should be aware that such undeletion would not stop another editor from requesting deletion at WP:AFD.

The WIkipedia policies on what should and what should not be included are constantly debated, and many editors have widely different opinions on the subject. A general rule of thumb that I try to use is to think "is it likely that someone outside of those people closely associated with the subject (e.g. an unrelated person is a different country) will come to Wikipedia to look for an article on that subject?" I realise that there are many articles on Wikipedia already for which the answer to that question would be 'no', but I still think that it is a reasonable test. I know nothing of Les Voyageurs Inc. so I cannot tell you whether or not I think that it passes that test, if you think that it does then I will undelete the article. —JeremyA 15:12, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
