Image Tagging Image:P5270125.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:P5270125.JPG. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use GFDL to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then 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 media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. 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 unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Longhair 08:23, 3 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Yes, you did it right. You did forget however to remove the 'no licence' notice I'd placed onto the image, however I've since removed that. All is now fine. Your image remains for use in Wikipedia. Thanks for your speedy reply. -- Longhair 11:39, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Chexquest.jpg
Hi, Plantperson. I am curious to know why you tagged this image as public domain. IANAL, but it sure looks like fair use to me: it is an extremely straightforward reproduction of someone else's work, so the original author most likely retains the copyright (see here).

 *  [ Plantperson then responds here. ]   It confuses me too, a lot of the time, and maybe I shouldn't do drive-by postings like that until I've been here a bit longer.  :>   As I understand it, however, photographs of essentially 2D compositions fall into the "slavish reproduction" area and therefore retain the license of the original.


 * Anyway, the only reason I asked is because someone at our wiki had copied it over, including the copyright tag, and although we changed the template, I wanted to know the original rationale just in case we'd missed something.   Xeriphas1994 02:34, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Henry Fernandez (politician)


A tag has been placed on Henry Fernandez (politician), 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 encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here.  DGG ( talk ) 04:18, 3 September 2013 (UTC)
