Image copyright problem with Image:Gruenewald082k.jpg
I'm new and did not hit the selection. I would have deleted this, because I could not find how to add the copyright info once it was submitted. However, I reposted the picture with a new filename and assume that the original one without copyright info would be expunged. Should I have tried to delete it instead? Thanx, R.W. Rynerson 20:33, 14 June 2006 (UTC) Thanks for uploading Image:Gruenewald082k.jpg. 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 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. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Hetar 04:51, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:Sud 0035k.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Sud 0035k.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. 05:05, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Image:Edmonton_Turnstiles.JPG listed for deletion
Dear uploader: The media file you uploaded as Image:Edmonton_Turnstiles.JPG has been listed for speedy deletion because you selected 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.  While it might seem reasonable to assume that such files can be freely used on Wikipedia, a non-profit website, 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.

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-no-disclaimers 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 you have any questions please ask at Media copyright questions. Thank you.

Licenses
Hi there! If you select a license which does not imply restricted use, you should be fine. As my note says above, you can proceed in one of two directions: If you have other questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Cheers, – riana_dzasta 01:04, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
 * If you beelieve that one of the fair use rationales apply to the file, tag it with a fair use tag from this list.
 * If you can contact the original creator (or the company who created the image), request them to make the image available under a free license, eg GDFL or Creative Commons, whereupon you can upload it either to Wikipedia or the Wikimedia Commons, a free image repository which intends for all images to be used freely.

Your photos
Hi- just wanted to say, thanks for the interesting photos you've uploaded of Oregon in the 1960s. Very cool to see how things looked back then! -Pete 08:33, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

File source problem with File:RwrPotsdam41.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:RwrPotsdam41.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, 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, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

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 07:35, 11 July 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. - Jayanta Nath (Talk 07:35, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks
For linking the article you wrote about the Nicholson memorial service in 2005 near Ludwigslust to the Arthur D. Nicholson article. You're right; there are odd currents in the former DDR. I wonder who the person watching you at the memorial worked for. You may find interesting the following text from the Observation Post Alpha article: Cheers, W. B. Wilson (talk) 10:10, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
 * On August 14, 1962, Oberjäger T.P. of the BGS shot and killed DDR Army Hauptmann R.A. when he observed R.A. preparing to fire again at a BGS officer. The border incident occurred at Setzelbach, Hesse. This document can be found on the web at [1] . An article from the Frankfurter Rundschau on August 9, 2002, further reports on this amazing story, identifying the BGS trooper as Hans Plüschke and the DDR border officer as Rudi Arnstadt. Plüschke's 1962 shot struck Arnstadt in the right eye, killing him instantly. On March 15, 1998, Hans Plüschke, who had become a taxi driver, was found murdered on Highway 84 between Rasdorf and Hünfeld, shot in the right eye. German authorities considered the possibility that this was a 36-year-delayed act of revenge by former DDR agents.

File permission problem with File:Zehlendorf Lilacs 2006.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Zehlendorf Lilacs 2006.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license 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 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. Magog the Ogre (t • c) 02:25, 2 November 2012 (UTC)

Re: Link to Snowden page
I removed my previous reply because I was totally wrong. However, I suggest you to ask in the article talk page to seek acceptance of the ext link, because I'm not sure if the website is any more helpful than the sea of reference links we already have in the article. -- Sameboat - 同舟 (talk) 14:35, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

1969 Incident at Marienborn
Why did you link your own personal blog to the article Helmstedt–Marienborn border crossing when it didn't really add anything of value to the article? - Justdointhis4stylechange (talk) 02:54, 14 December 2023 (UTC)


 * It was added after it was selected for inclusion in a hard cover anthology of Cold War stories. As with many of the links and films referred to in Wikipedia articles -- including the 1983 film referred to here -- it is intended to provide material for further thought.
 * I have other things to do, so I don't object to deletions. Web-stat shows recent Russian hits on my articles and I can't spend time competing with people who have time to campaign. Rw rynerson (talk) 04:19, 14 December 2023 (UTC)
