Image copyright problem with Image:Trustme.jpg
Thank you for uploading Image:Trustme.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. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI 11:35, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Duplicate images uploaded
Thanks for uploading Image:3305750x.jpg. A machine-controlled robot account noticed that you also uploaded the same image under the name Image:Trustme.jpg. The copy called Image:Trustme.jpg has been marked for speedy deletion since it is redundant. If this sounds okay to you, there is no need for you to take any action.

This is an automated message- you have not upset or annoyed anyone, and you do not need to respond. In the future, you may save yourself some confusion if you supply a meaningful file name and refer to 'my contributions' to remind yourself exactly which name you chose (file names are case sensitive, including the extension) so that you won't lose track of your uploads. For tips on good file naming, see Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions about this notice, or feel that the deletion is inappropriate, please contact User:Staecker, who operates the robot account. Staeckerbot 17:59, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 02:01, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi Nick, please don't add a copyrighted picture of a musician when there is a free equivalent available - see WP:FU. Any questions, just leave a message. Thanks. Spellcast 13:34, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

For living people, Wikipedia can only use images under a free license. Only images that allow anyone to edit and distribute it are allowed. Promotional shots are copyrighted and aren't usually allowed. This is called the "free" encylopedia for a reason ;) Spellcast 13:40, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Craigpromoshot.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Craigpromoshot.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 17:18, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Uness2.jpg
Thank you for uploading Image:Uness2.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.

AfD nomination of Uness
I have nominated Uness, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Articles for deletion/Uness. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 17:42, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Your recent edits
Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 18:06, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Uness
Please keep in mind that Uness hasn't done anything yet that makes him notable. Even if he will be notable in the future, it's best to wait until he actually is notable (i.e., a chart single and/or multiple reliable third-party sources) before making a page on him. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball -- you can't use it for something that might be notable in the future. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 18:56, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Frasertsmith.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Frasertsmith.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, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 07:31, 9 April 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Radiant chains (talk) 07:31, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Signed Sealed Delivered (Craig David album)
A tag has been placed on Signed Sealed Delivered (Craig David album), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as FAQ/Business for more information. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. ~DC Talk To Me 18:28, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

Signed Sealed Delivered (Craig David album)
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Signed Sealed Delivered (Craig David album), and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.thisisrnb.com/2010/01/music-craig-david-one-more-lie-standing-in-the-shadows. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 23:38, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

This message makes an absolute mockery of Wikipedia. The link you mention above contains an illegally uploaded copy of Craig David's new single. You are basically advertising an illegal download for all the world to see from an illegal blog. To suggest the page above is copyrighted is an absolute joke, the text on the website is taken from Craig David's official social networks and as mentioned above, the track uploaded has been done so illegally. I suggest something is done to remove this immediately as you've warned me if I remove this notice again, I'll be banned. --NickHSpurs (talk) 00:02, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Signed Sealed Delivered (Craig David album)
A tag has been placed on Signed Sealed Delivered (Craig David album) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself, as you did with Signed Sealed Delivered (Craig David album). Please use the template on the page instead if you disagree with the deletion, and make your case on the page's talk page. Thank you.

Please do not vandalize pages, as you did with this edit to Signed Sealed Delivered (Craig David album). If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing. Heracles31 (talk) 23:45, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

License tagging for File:Mohombi.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Mohombi.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 22:06, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Mohombi.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Mohombi.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the media description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. We hope (talk) 23:37, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
