Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the external links you added do not comply with our guidelines for external links. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Silly rabbit 18:04, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Which link isn't relevant to the page it was placed on?


 * The links you have posted fail the basic criteria of Wikipedia's external links policy, and specifically appear to be advertising. Each link seems to exist for the purpose of selling a video.  Unless the video itself is somehow notable for inclusion in Wikipedia, links whose purpose is to promote the work are not allowed.  Silly rabbit 18:23, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

I can see what you are saying. I think the video is relevant to the pages to where it was linked and offers video of sites that have not been open since the war. If it were free and in the public domain would that make a difference?


 * Not having seen the videos, I can't offer any assurances. But it seems likely that you could successfully argue for their inclusion at the articles in question. Silly rabbit 20:34, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your responses I will look into the discussion pages and see how to move forward.

License tagging for Image:Tannenberg Memorial.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Tannenberg Memorial.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. 16:11, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

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 .

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included.
