User talk:Quena@sympatico.ca

Hi there. Welcome to Wikipedia. When you get a chance, drop us a note at New user log to introduce yourself.

You can sign your name on talk pages by using " " for your username and " ~ " for your username and a timestamp.
 * Welcome is a good place to start.
 * Tutorial runs through all the basics.
 * How does one edit a page gives editing help.
 * Manual of Style gives formatting info.
 * Policies and guidelines tell about the principles we operate on. It's important, but don't try to read it all now.
 * Help covers a broad range of useful topics.
 * Help desk is a place to ask questions.
 * Show preview explains how to double-check your edits before saving.

Most people say a little bit about themselves on their userpage (I'm assuming that you are a fan and not Al-Beeno, himself). But generally, editors are allowed some latitude on their user pages. You might look at other user pages for examples.

You should also feel free to drop me a question on my talk page. I'll answer if I'm here.

Happy editing, Walter Siegmund (talk) 16:39, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

Homo erectus
Ah -- welcome to Wikipedia! Yes, Wiki has to be very careful about copyright, as Wiki itself is a "free" web site and available for others to copy. They are particularly protective about photographs. Lawsuits abound in the world today. So we all have to create the material, but a little bit of careful cut and paste is usually alright. Give yourself some time on the site. I resist (like mad) reading instructions, but it didn't take me long to feel pretty comfortable here. Of course, I learn new things all the time too. Look forward to working with you. Homo erectus could use your insight, I'm sure. WBardwin 04:49, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

Image addition to "race" article
Thanks for contributing! I moved your recent image to Talk:Race for discussion. It appears to be a copyright violation, and the statements made in the caption need a citation. Unfortunately, we can't inlcude images unless we have proper clearance. Jokestress 23:57, 12 November 2005 (UTC)


 * What violation? I'm having alot of trouble putting pictures, the picture frame codes are very complex and what I do is take my own pictures or saved from the net and place them on. Once I put them there a message comes out all the time something like "Note: your account will be deleted in a few days if you do not comply to copyright material". But how? Whats the correct way to put a picture, I need to know the specific code to put in a picture without any violation (ULR). I was wondering if you could help me with this.--Quena@sympatico.ca 00:14, 13 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Unless you have created an image yourself from scratch or it is in the public domain, we can't take or modify existing images from other places (books, web, etc.) and reproduce them here. See Copyrights, specifically at Copyrights. If you have other questions, you can ask them at Wikipedia_talk:Copyrights. Hope this helps! Jokestress 18:33, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

Hominin edits
I was hoping you'd look over the changes I made to your recent edits today before you started further edits. You are often highly repetitive and not consistent with the format of the articles, meaning I or other editors need to take a good deal of time paring down your repetitions and reformatting and sometimes restoring text. I'm reverting all of the work you've done tonight. Please work slower and better and seek the assistance of other editors who have put many months of work into these articles. - UtherSRG (talk) 04:17, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

TTTCCHHHHHHHHHEHH !!!! "Kissing my teeth loudly". Well I could have fixed it up i admit but damn! you had to erase the whole thing? I'm not rying to start a fight, maybe we can work together something to make it better. Lets compromise my friend. --Quena@sympatico.ca 01:19, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

Picture copyrights
Hi,

I noticed you used the screenshot copyright tag for your "Afarensis Lucy.jpg" picture.

This isn't a proper use of the tag, and it's not allowed. You can (currently) take screenshots of movies or TV shows for the purpose of an article on that movie or TV show. Using screenshot images to illustrate any other articles is not going to qualify as a 'fair use' of an image. I'm changing the license tag to 'no license'.

I know it's difficult to find public domain or GFDL images out there, but those are the rules - someone out there owns the copyright to that image and we don't have the legal right to utilize it in this way.

Thanks - Tempshill 22:08, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

Oh I'm sorry about that, using the image copyright codes is hard. --Quena@sympatico.ca 22:10, 23 November 2005 (UTC)


 * I also noticed you tagged the "Habilis.jpg" upload with the "promo" code, obviously incorrect.


 * All you have to do is not upload stuff you find around the web. All of it is copyrighted, with some exceptions.  If you see something on the web that would illustrate an article well, you have to verify whether the picture is in the public domain - most common example is pictures taken before 1926 - or licensed under the GFDL.  Tempshill 22:52, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

Moving an article
It is incorrect to move and article by copying the text and parting it into a new article title. This removes the text from the edit history. We must maintain the edit history undr GFDL. To move an article to a new title, use the "move" tab at the top of the page. - UtherSRG (talk) 16:00, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

advice
if that's really your email address, you may want to change your username. there are programs out there that harvest all the email addresses they can find on community websites like this one, and they add them to spam lists. just thought i'd mention it... Themindset 07:12, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

Image Tagging for Image:Albert's_Real_Jamaican_Foods.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Albert's_Real_Jamaican_Foods.jpg. The image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to indicate why we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image 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 image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use GFDL to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies under Wikipedia's fair use guidelines, 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 want the image to be deleted, tag it as db-unksource.

If you have uploaded other images, 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.

Image:Jacksoul2.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Jacksoul2.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:


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

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Unspecified source for Image:Nuba man of Sudan.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Nuba man of Sudan.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.

If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self-no-disclaimers tag can be used to release it under the GFDL.

Fair use rationale for Image:Al_beeno.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Al_beeno.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages 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 non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MER-C 10:35, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Commercial use of Image:Lucy.JPG
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Image:Lucy.JPG, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Image:Lucy.JPG has 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, which was either uploaded on or after 2005-05-19 or is not used in any articles (CSD I3). While it might seem reasonable to assume that such files can be freely used on Wikipedia, 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. See our non-free content guidelines for more more information.

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 the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. This bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Image:Lucy.JPG itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. If you have any questions about what to do next or why your image was nominated for speedy deletion please ask at Media copyright questions. Thanks. --Android Mouse Bot 2 08:26, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

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.

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 the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD.

Unspecified source for Image:Turkana_boys_vertabrea_vertabrea.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Turkana_boys_vertabrea_vertabrea.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 13:08, 12 January 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast (talk) 13:08, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Remy Shand.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Remy Shand.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 07:02, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Turkana boys vertabrea vertabrea.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Turkana boys vertabrea vertabrea.jpg. 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 '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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 10:50, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Raymond Dart with Taung.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Raymond Dart with Taung.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the file description page and add the text  below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing   with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
 * 2) On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

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. --Animalparty! (talk) 02:55, 22 December 2017 (UTC)
