File permission problem with File:Nigel Stuart Lockyer at TRIUMF in 2009.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Nigel Stuart Lockyer at TRIUMF in 2009.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log]. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Fut.Perf. ☼ 18:47, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for the notes on the file permission error. I decided to use another photograph for this article. Nmartintriumf (talk) 18:33, 10 January 2013 (UTC)Nicole Martin

Replaceable fair use File:Nigel Stuart Lockyer on June 28 2011.png
Thanks for uploading File:Nigel Stuart Lockyer on June 28 2011.png. I noticed the description page specifies that this media item is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails the first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media item could be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media item is not replaceable, please:


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

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item 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 creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media 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 the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Fut.Perf. ☼ 17:59, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for the notes on the fair use of the image. I had uploaded the same image using creative commons but failed to understand how to insert the image properly so I re-uploaded it, but using the wrong credentials. I have used the creative commons image for the article now. I appreciate the flags though, this is my first (and only so far) wikipedia page that I've edited.

Help request
I need help with creating the Nigel Lockyer wikipedia page to make it as verified as possible to have the statement "This biographical article needs additional citations for verification. Please help by adding reliable sources. Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately, especially if potentially libelous or harmful. (February 2010)" removed. Nmartintriumf (talk) 22:09, 11 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I will fix the references for you in the article, in the mean time you can read WP:Tutorial/Citing sources. -- Patchy1 00:50, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I have made a number of changes which make me happy to remove the maintenance tag. Please read the above link, as the main problem was the lack of tags, and the above link explains the use of them. If you have anymore questions please post them below and re add the tag, or ask them on my talk page. -- Patchy1  01:09, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:Nigel Stuart Lockyer on June 28 2011.png)
Thanks for uploading File:Nigel Stuart Lockyer on June 28 2011.png. 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 'file' 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 "File" 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. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:35, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
