User talk:Rik G.

Hello Rik, welcome to Wikipedia. Here's some tips:
 * You can introduce yourself on the new users page
 * If you made any edits before you got an account, you might be interested in assigning those to your username.
 * You can sign your name using three tildes, like . If you use four, you can add a datestamp too.
 * If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.
 * If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page.

Other useful pages are: how to edit, how to write a great article, naming conventions, manual of style and the Wikipedia policies.

Image question
You uploaded Image:Leostrauss.jpg but didn't provide any source information. Can you provide this? Otherwise, the image will have to be deleted. Thanks. Phil Sandifer 01:52, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

Again an image question
You uploaded Image:Hans_rudel.jpeg but didn't provide any source information. Can you provide this? I found that picture under commons and in the german wp too. We need to know how you had the right to put it under GNU-GFLP. de:Benutzer:Tobnu -- 80.139.108.78 15:01, 9 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Same for Image:Carlschmitt.jpg. I doubt that you are the author of this image or hold any rights, therefore you cannot publish it under the gnu fdl. Furthermore the picture is not old enough so that copyright would have expired. Thus it very much seems it is a copyright infringment. If so, please stop uploading copyrighted material. thanks. --C.Löser 17:33, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Carlschmitt.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Carlschmitt.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. 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 uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Conscious 06:25, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

Non-free use disputed for Image:Heli.fw-61.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Heli.fw-61.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.

Unspecified source for Image:Heli.fw-61.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Heli.fw-61.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 10:18, 5 August 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Born2flie 10:18, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
