Image copyright problem with Image:Squeak_logo.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:Squeak_logo.gif. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images on Wikipedia is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this:.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. You can get help on image copyright tagging from Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags. -- Carnildo 21:31, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Commercial use of Image:20070620 WMNR announcement that adventures in good music with karl haas will end.ogg
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Image:20070620 WMNR announcement that adventures in good music with karl haas will end.ogg, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Image:20070620 WMNR announcement that adventures in good music with karl haas will end.ogg is an image licensed as "for non-commercial use only" or "used with permission for use on Wikipedia only" which was either uploaded on or after 2005-05-19 or is not used in any articles (CSD I3).

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:20070620 WMNR announcement that adventures in good music with karl haas will end.ogg 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 17:56, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

Please note
Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and it has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you may want to do. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia.Cutler (talk) 23:59, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Apologies. I now see what you have (obviously inadvertently) done. There was an existing image of Alexander Cockburn, 12th Baronet which was called "Image:Alexander_Cockburn.jpg". When you created an image of journalist Alexander Cockburn, you gave it the same name and did not heed the warning notice that you were about to overwrite an existing image. I only realised this after I have rewritten over your image and it's too late to undo. Had I realised before I would have uploaded the baronet's image with a different name. I suggest that you recreate your image with the name "Image:Alexander_Cockburn_journalist.jpg".Cutler (talk) 17:57, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

We've had the odd situation where the journalist's article has had the judge's photo and the judge's article has had the journalist's photo! I have deleted the upload of the journalist's photo and removed the judge's photo from the journalist's article, so you'll need to reupload the journalist's photo under a new name, as Cutler suggests.

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to  in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 19:29, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

File:Wangari Maathai portrait by Martin Rowe.jpg
Hello! Do you happen to remember your source for this image and where it's indicated that it's been released into the public domain? Apart from publications citing Wikimedia Commons, I was unable to find one. The closest that I saw was this website, which lists the photograph among those that are "available (and have a high enough resolution) for use in print" and states that "credit should be applied as indicated on the photo." Thanks! —David Levy 01:28, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Avocado Declaration


A tag has been placed on Avocado Declaration, 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 "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, then please contact the deleting administrator.
