Thank you for drawing my attention to the St Abbs site. I like it. I wish I could say I had done something similar in my part of the world. If it's your site, congratulations! Any tips about software, pitfalls and the like would be welcome. :)

About your question: taking the columns as lettered and the rows as numbered, the best seems to be E 11. It includes the whole rig and the figures give a good idea of the size of the vessel and its sails. C 9 would make a second best choice. B 7 would be useful if you were looking not at the rig, as is relevant here but at the lines of the hull. (RJP 13:21, 27 February 2006 (UTC))

Fifie
Hello Peter, I discovered your nice article yesterday when I was creating Scottish Fisheries Museum. I see that the images you added come from the St Abbs community website. From the discussion above it seems that you are the site creator, and if so well done, it's a very nicely done and informative site. Just for your information the link you had in the St. Abbs article just leads to what looks like an old maintenance notification, so you may wish to fix that on the community site page. I've also fixed the article meantime.

My main reason for contacting you is that the copyright tags you have on the 3 images are a bit ambiguous, and they run the risk of being flagged up for deletion. Image copyright is one of the "big issues" on WP right now, and it would be a shame to see these falling foul of the many bots and users running round identifying incorrectly tagged images. If the drawing of the Fifie was created by you, it might be best to release it under one of the acceptable free licences rather that "copyright, no rights reserved". The postcard images are also tagged as "copyrighted free use" which seems to be doubtful. If the postcards were published before 1923, which looks likely, then they are almost certainly Public Domain in the US, which would make them bombproof as far as deletion goes. Image use policy and Image copyright tags are very helpful for treading through the copyright minefield.

Let me know if I can help out in any way. Cheers. -- Cactus.man  &#9997;  10:01, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

Image Tagging for Image:Eyemouthharbour.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Eyemouthharbour.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.

Image:Eyemouthharbour02.jpg
Hi. When you uploaded Image:Eyemouthharbour02.jpg, you did not specify complete source and copyright information. Another user subsequently tagged it with GFDL-presumed and, for some time, it has existed on Wikipedia under the assumption that you created the image and you agreed to license it under the GFDL. This assumption, however well-meaning, is not legally sufficient and the tag is being phased out. Images using it are being deleted.

This image has been tagged for deletion and will be deleted in one week if adequate copyright information is not provided.

If you, personally, are the author of this content, meaning that you took the photograph yourself or you created the chart yourself (and it does not use any clipart that you did not create), please retag the image with a free image copyright tag that correctly describes your licensing intentions, usually GFDL-self or PD-self. Please also make sure if you have not already done so that you write a good description of what the image depicts, when you took the photo, and other important details. This will allow Wikipedia to continue using the image.

If you did not create the image or if it is derived from the copyrighted works of others, please keep in mind that most images on the internet are copyrighted and are not suitable for use on Wikipedia. Wikipedia respects the copyrights of others and does not use images unless we know that they have been freely licensed. Any creative work is automatically copyrighted, even if it lacks a copyright notice. Unless the copyright holder has specifically disclaimed their rights to the image and released it under the GFDL or another compatible license, we cannot use it. If you did not create the image, and cannot make the image compliant with Non-free content, simply do nothing and it will be deleted in a week. All other non-free images must follow these rules.

Please feel free to contact me on my talk page or leave a message at Media copyright questions with any questions you may have. Thank you. Aksibot 20:54, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:AndrewUsher.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:AndrewUsher.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 06:52, 22 April 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Kelly hi! 06:52, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Scottish Gaelic removal
Good job. Well done. --Tagishsimon (talk) 00:10, 14 December 2009 (UTC)


 * I cannot second this sentiment. If you find it so offensive to have the gaelic language appear in the context of the borders argue your case on the talk page, build consensus and respect the sources. Unilateral removal of sourced statements will only get you blocked.·Maunus· ƛ · 17:41, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
