Hakkinen/Schumacher image
Hi, thanks for adding the copy of Sean Lawrence's picture of Hakkinen and Schuamcher at Spa 98.

Are you sure about the copyright, which would be for the image, not for the infividual print? As there are apparently 250 copies of that painting, it seems unlikely that anyone other than the artist owns the rights to it, and I can't see any evidence that he has released all rights to it as claimed on the image page. Cheers. 4u1e 21:34, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Mika Häkkinen No. 1 Once More at Spa.JPG
Thank you for uploading Image:Mika Häkkinen No. 1 Once More at Spa.JPG. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. I had to place this warning here because there are serious doubts about the copyright you stated. Miraceti 21:53, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Hello there, I own the painting, bought from Sean Lawrence, which is hanging on my wall.
 * There are several issues here. Please keep in mind that under copyright law, merely scanning or copying the work of another is not considered a "creative" act and there is no copyright assigned as a result of such an act.  In other words, if Bob paints a picture and I photograph it, Bob still owns the copyright.  By default, the original author of a work owns exclusive rights to reproduce, distribute, or modify it - even if you buy a copy of it, those rights are not transferred.


 * When you state that you "commissioned" the work, can you clarify what you mean by that? Is the painting a "work for hire" or do you just mean that you paid for the signed copy of another painting?  Did the artist agree to assign the copyright to you?


 * If you own the copyright to the image, you can email "permissions-en AT wikimedia DOT org" a letter of permission, stating (1) what image you are talking about, (2) how you are the copyright holder and (3) licensing the image under the GFDL (see Requesting copyright permission for more information). Submissions sent to this address are confidential. If the ticket is closed successfully, a volunteer will mark the image with a tag indicating that permission has been confirmed.

OK. I will get Sean Lawrence, the painter, to email me a confirmation that I own the copyright of the picture. --S.A.M. 07:32, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Sean Lawrence
Another editor has added the "prod" template to the article Sean Lawrence, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also What Wikipedia is not and Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the prod template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Proposed deletion of Jonny Restrick


The article Jonny Restrick has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Unsourced BLP, I have found no useful sources after an extensive search

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. -- Patchy1   12:33, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called S.A.M.. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name S.A.M.~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 02:47, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
