License tagging for Image:Cartwrighthall.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Cartwrighthall.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands 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. 05:06, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

You recent edits
Please stop re-adding previously removed images from the article Kent State University. They have no source licence and therefore cannot be used in the article until such a time a source is named. Continued re-addition of these images may result in a block from edits for a time. --Sagaciousuk (talk) 01:56, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

Copyright Tags
I changed the copyright tags for the images you've added to the Kent State University page to the Promotional tag under fair use so they hopefully won't get deleted again. I will hopefully be able to take my own pictures of some campus buildings to add to the article in the next few months. --JonRidinger 04:28, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Media copyright questions. 12:35, 26 December 2006 (UTC) == Image:Ksuseal.jpg listed for deletion == Dear uploader: The media file you uploaded as Image:Ksuseal.jpg has been listed for speedy deletion because you selected a copyright license type implying some type of restricted use, such as for non-commercial use only, or for educational use only or for use on Wikipedia by permission.  While it might seem reasonable to assume that such files can be freely used on Wikipedia, a non-profit website, this is in fact not the case. Please do not upload any more files with these restrictions on them, because content on Wikipedia needs to be compatible with the GNU Free Documentation License, which allows anyone to use it for any purpose, commercial or non-commercial.

If you created this media file and want to use it on Wikipedia, you may re-upload it (or amend the image description if it has not yet been deleted) and use the license GFDL-self to license it under the GFDL, or cc-by-sa-2.5 to license it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license, or use PD-self to release it into the public domain.

If you did not create this media file but want to use it on Wikipedia, there are two ways to proceed. First, you may choose one of the fair use tags from this list if you believe one of those fair use rationales applies to this file. Second, you may want to contact the copyright holder and request that they make the media available under a free license.

If you have any questions please ask at Media copyright questions. Thank you.

Unspecified source for Image:CentennialC.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:CentennialC.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, then 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, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

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 02:09, 25 January 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. User:Gay Cdn (talk) (Contr) 02:09, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Clutter and page
Hello, I added most of the pictures, I'm not familiar with Wikipedia I was trying to teach myself. However I do think that Kent State needs more pictures than it had, the page looks pathetic compared to some schools. Edit what you want but try to incorporate some of the pictures in please.

Duplicate Image:Kentstateseal.jpg
is a duplicate of an already existing article, category or image. --Android Mouse Bot 2 07:42, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

KSU To-Do
Sure man...I'll see what I can do. A lot of what needs to be done on the KSU page is organizing and cleaning up the references (and adding a lot more), plus the entire notable programs section needs to be written in actual paragraphs. The pieces are there for this to be a great article, but it just needs to be organized and expanded. One option I looked at and proposed on the Kent State University Stark Campus page was starting a Kent State Wikiproject. Several other universities have them and I think it would help get the ball rolling on improving the main KSU article as well as the other campuses (many of which don't even have articles yet).

Thanks for all your edits, efforts, and pictures by the way. They have really added to the article. Feel free to ask about any wiki policy issues too. I know a lot about them, but I'm still learning too. --JonRidinger (talk) 01:47, 14 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Re: Florence picture- I'm not sure if you uploaded it to Wikimedia Commons but if not, open an account there and upload it, as long as it is a public domain image. When you upload it, make sure you fill out the entire template for public domain (it will be there automatically) and categorize it under the category Kent State University.  Usually, pics get deleted because they are not tagged properly as public domain or if not PD then they don't have a full or valid rationale behind their presence.  I have uploaded several pics to the Commons and using them is the same as using them on Wikipedia (same name and everything).  On my Wikipedia user page is a link to my Commons page if you want to see some examples.  Again, only public domain images (your own work) can be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons.  Any other questions, let me know!  Happy editing! --JonRidinger (talk) 19:11, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

NowCommons: File:Eastwayksu.jpg
File:Eastwayksu.jpg is now available on Wikimedia Commons as Commons:File:KSU Eastway Dining Hall.jpg. This is a repository of free media that can be used on all Wikimedia wikis. The image will be deleted from Wikipedia, but this doesn't mean it can't be used anymore. You can embed an image uploaded to Commons like you would an image uploaded to Wikipedia, in this case:. Note that this is an automated message to inform you about the move. This bot did not copy the image itself. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 20:01, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Welcome back!
Hey welcome back. I see you've been busy with the camera like me. Great additions to the KSU-related articles. Just a quick pointer, while it's wonderful you uploaded your pics to the Commons, be sure to categorize them when uploading them there. I categorized the 2 pictures you used for Dix Stadium into the Commons category Dix Stadium. For your general KSU uploads of the buildings, there is a general category Kent State University as well as a Kent State University athletics category for the other sports facilities besides the MAC Center, Ice Arena, and Dix Stadium, which all have their own sub categories. The categories make it easier to use your pictures in other related articles, plus you can also see what pictures have already been taken so you don't get any duplicates (unless you can get a better picture of course!). Any questions, please ask. Thanks again for your efforts! --JonRidinger (talk) 05:40, 1 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Fantastic! You have a great camera, so your pictures are very high quality; much better than I can currently get.  I went ahead and categorized the ones you recently uploaded.  What that will do is put them in a gallery on the Commons that can be accessed by anyone reading the KSU article on Wikipedia.  It's a small box at the bottom of the article that says "Wikimedia Commons has media related to Kent State University" or something like that.  When uploading on the Commons, picking the category is a little different.  It's right near the bottom and has a little (+) sign near it.  You just click on that and start typing whichever category you want to use until the system starts trying to match it, then click OK once it does.  You can add as many categories as you need.  --JonRidinger (talk) 17:10, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Pictures
Hey man. Thanks again for all your pictures. I do have a few cautions in the placement of them. First, try to avoid placing galleries in the articles (see WP:IG for more specifics). That is the purpose of the Commons now, so instead of having a gallery, we instead have that small box at the end I mentioned above which directs readers to the Commons category. The gallery tool is generally for times when the subject cannot be properly explained without multiple pictures. Also, when placing a picture in a particular part of the article, do your best to make sure it has relevance to the section rather than just being decorative. The pictures are there to not just add ambiance, but also to add to the content, so they should fit in. In the case of the Memorial Athletic and Convocation Center, avoid putting pictures into the intro, mostly because of what it does to the text. They are GREAT pictures, but can easily be placed in other sections or the pictures can be made smaller in the article. And again, if a picture just can't fit, we can make sure the link to the Commons category is there. Having pictures in an article is GREAT but too many can be a bad thing. The best edits you can make are ones that other editors don't have to revert or "fix." Happy editing! :) --JonRidinger (talk) 02:53, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Gardens
Unfortunately, unless your source is third-party (like notable outside awards or recognition), there is no need for a description of each garden. Even then, what I removed made no mention of anything notable about the specific gardens. Gardens like that are very common on large college campuses like Kent State, so including them in an encyclopedic article only makes sense if they are highly notable for some reason. Please see my comments on Talk:Kent State University. I very much appreciate your efforts to add pictures and content to the KSU related articles, but just remember that there is such a thing as too many pictures and just because information is interesting doesn't necessarily mean it's encyclopedic. Also become familiar with Wikipedia policies and guidelines, such as the Manual of Style and what Wikipedia is not. In terms of getting a reference, always wait to add info to an article until you have it. Again, make sure that reference is neutral whenever possible (see WP:SOURCES). Another great place to go is the Wikiproject page for the Colleges and Universities Wikiproject. There you can find guidelines specific for this type of article as well as examples of articles about colleges and universities that have been featured, such as Dartmouth College and Michigan State University among others. I'm sorry you took a lot of time putting it together as I've been there before, but hard work doesn't mean something is notable enough to be in an article. --JonRidinger (talk) 04:09, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Alumni
Yes it really should be moved to its own page. I really like how the alumni section is put together at University of Michigan. It has a full separate list, but keeps a sizeable section in the main article to still grab the reader's attention. See also List of University of Michigan alumni. I'll help where I can! --JonRidinger (talk) 15:32, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Rockwellhall.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Rockwellhall.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for 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 permission 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. Here is a list of your uploads. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Minorax &laquo;&brvbar;talk&brvbar;&raquo; 10:28, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
