Recent edits to Hannibal
Hello, and thank you for your recent contributions. I appreciate the effort you made for our project, but unfortunately I had to undo your edit(s) because it did not meet one or more of our policies. Feel free to read more there, or contact me directly if you have any questions. Thank you! Jackson Peebles (talk) 19:49, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

Avoid being blocked
Hello. Wikipedia is a collaborative project, but you have not been collaborating. You have consistently failed to use the edit summary box to explain your edits, and you have resorted to edit-warring when your edits are reverted (for example, in the Muhammad article), instead of discussing on the article talk page to support your actions.

Please start using edit summaries so that others may understand your reasons for the changes you make. And if someone reverts you, use the talk page to explain your position. Edit warring is disruptive to the project, and may result in this account being blocked. Take care. ~Amatulić (talk) 21:17, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Libyan, Canaanite, Syrian, & Nubian.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Libyan, Canaanite, Syrian, & Nubian.jpg, which you've attributed to http://realhistoryww.com/world_history/ancient/Minoan_Greece_1.htm. 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 created 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 OTRS 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. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log]. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. NtheP (talk) 21:49, 6 April 2013 (UTC)

Image uploads
While some of the subjects are certainly old, the photos are not and the copyright of those photos belongs to someone so you'll have to do some more research for them to stay. Who the photographer is and whether they are still alive? When the images were taken (only one appears to be dated) If they alive then the photos will still be in copyright. If they are dead then they may be out of copyright depending on how long ago they died. If you really can't trace a date of the photo or the photographer's name then it's unlikely that they can remain. NtheP (talk) 21:56, 6 April 2013 (UTC)

Images from http://realhistoryww.com/world_history/ancient/Misc/True_Negros/The_True_Negro_2a.htm
I've tidied up some of the copyright tags for you - for info, you can find a complete list of relevant tags at File copyright tags/All. I've also added the death date of the artist - as that's the most important fact needed to be able to pick the right tag.  Ron h jones  (Talk) 19:55, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Ainu Elder.jpg


A tag has been placed on File:Ainu Elder.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

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. eh bien mon prince (talk) 02:56, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
