Problems with upload of File:Monk Straight No Chaser.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Monk Straight No Chaser.jpg. You don't seem to have said where the image came from, who created it, or what the copyright status is. We require this information to verify that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia, and because most image licenses require giving credit to the image's creator.

To add this information, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the information to the image's description. If you need help, post your question on Media copyright questions.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 08:05, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

File copyright problem with File:Casablanca original film poster.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Casablanca original film poster.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 file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. &mdash; neuro  (talk)  19:10, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Category nominated for deletion
Clarityfiend (talk) 19:50, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Posters galore
You might want to read Galleries and WP:NOT. A few would be fine, so I suggest you pick the most iconic. I'd go with Alien, Clockwork Orange, and a couple of others. Clarityfiend (talk) 05:50, 20 March 2009 (UTC)


 * To add to the above, this should be OK but please bear in mind that each seperate image needs its own seperate rationale to appear in each seperate article. Seperately.....(!) (Quentin X (talk) 08:39, 20 March 2009 (UTC))

Category:Movie Posters designed by Bill Gold
I notice that this category you created is unpopulated (empty). In other words, no Wikipedia pages belong to it. If it remains unpopulated for four days, it may be deleted, without discussion, in accordance with Criteria for speedy deletion. I'm notifying you in case you wish to (re-)populate it by adding to articles/subcategories that belong in it.

I blanked the category page. This will not, in itself, cause the category to be deleted. It serves to document (in the page history) that the category was empty at the time of blanking and also to alert other watchers that the category is in jeopardy. You are welcome to revert the blanking if you wish. However, doing so will not prevent deletion if the category remains empty.

If you created the category in error, or it is no longer needed, you can speed up the deletion process by tagging it with db-author.

I am a human being, not a bot, so you can contact me if you have questions about this. Best regards, --Stepheng3 (talk) 00:41, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Super Oscar 25k.jpg)
 Thanks for uploading Image:Super Oscar 25k.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images 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 any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude ( talk ) 04:39, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

Posters on Bill Gold page
Hi Nyguide, apologies that it took a bit of time to get back to you. Also, sorry that I haven't sent an email but I prefer a bit on anonymity and to do that may give my real name and then a few clicks after reading my biography would just about get you to the rather hideous photo of me on my firms website, so........ Anyway, I've removed the images again, not that there is anything wrong with them being on the page, per se, it's just that each image needs a seperate rationale for each page that it is on. If you go to all the image pages you will see that they all have a rationale for the film that they are the poster for, but not for Bill Gold's page. A bit of copying, pasting and slight rewording should see you OK. Hope this clears that up for you.... (Quentin X (talk) 08:22, 5 May 2009 (UTC))
 * Hi again, it needs to specifically say it in the style of the films rationale. (Quentin X (talk) 20:08, 5 May 2009 (UTC))
 * Well, I am very sorry if my comments aren't opaque enough. The following should see you OK. As you have noticed when you go to the image page there is a rationale for the poster image to appear on the article that has to do with the film. It needs an entirely seperate rationale for the image to appear on Bill Gold's page. Therefore if you copy and paste the original rationale and put it underneath and change the name of the film to Bill Gold where necessary then you can put the image back on the Bill Gold page. If I could just say that I have approached my conversations with you with what I regarded as some sort of humour. Calling my edits aribtrary interference could be seen as a personal attack, which Wikipedia does not like. Cheers :-) (Quentin X (talk) 05:28, 6 May 2009 (UTC))

Proposed deletion of Neal Porter
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Neal Porter, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Non-notable individual. Article states he has won awards.  Although his publishing house has won awards, there is no indicated he has.  See http://www.editors-sa.org.au/?q=keynotes.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. ttonyb1 (talk) 16:04, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Neal Porter
I have nominated Neal Porter, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Articles for deletion/Neal Porter. 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.Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. ttonyb1 (talk) 16:43, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Bill Gold, the famous movie poster designer.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Bill Gold, the famous movie poster designer.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 17:43, 24 August 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 17:43, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

September 2009
Greetings, you added a film poster to Thelonious Monk, and gave fair use criteria on the image's page. However, this does not qualify as fair use: The Thelonious Monk article is about the musician, not the film (or the poster). The image may be properly used in an article about the film (or the poster) itself. Thanks, -- Gyrofrog (talk) 17:13, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
