Nice work. That's what I had in mind but I had problems getting it to space properly and got frustrated. Thanks for stepping in. :) Lambertman 03:01, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Wikiquote transwikis
Please do not transfer material from Wikipedia to Wikiquote or other projects, as you did for MTV (to MTV slogans), without following the guidelines at Help:Transwiki on the target project. Simply copying and pasting material violates GFDL, as the editors who actually contributed the material are not given credit for its presence in the Wikimedia projects. If you have any questions after reading the material, feel free to ask me. Thank you for your assistance. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 11:30, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:MTV2.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:MTV2.gif. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read carefully the instructions at Non-free content and then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Iamunknown 07:53, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:24hoursoffoo.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:24hoursoffoo.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. 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. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will 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. Bigr Tex  20:50, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Image source problem with Image:949thesound.JPG
This is an automated message from a robot. You have recently uploaded Image:949thesound.JPG. 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.

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 Non-free content, 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 18:30, 6 September 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. If you believe you received this message in error, please notify the bot's owner.

Image copyright problem with Image:MSN program viewer.gif
Thank you for uploading Image:MSN program viewer.gif. 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. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 08:05, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Re: Frankie Valli
This is in response to "I ran across the Frankie Valli article and saw a huge notice about copyright infringement that you placed on the page. I'm not challenging your claim, but I can't find a full explanation on the talk page. For the sake of clarity, can you state why it's plagiarism and name the original source of the text in the article? Thanks, Samvscat (talk) 23:07, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

UPDATE: Nevermind, I found a resolution at Wikipedia:Copyright problems/2008 March 19/Articles. User:Silver Spoon said, "This is no copyright violation. This site is a wikipedia clone. Everything we change here is shown there. The site now also has the Possible copyright infringement on top of the page. What this site lacks is a statement that says that the information shown is orriginaly from wikipedia." Given this information, I'll remove the notice. --Samvscat (talk) 23:16, 24 March 2008 (UTC)"

Sorry about that. I really had no way of knowing that, because there was no thing on the bottom of that website that said that the information was legally taken from Wikipedia. There really should be, as there is on other websites that do the same.

I think that it's potentially dangerous for other websites to take copy from Wikipedia, being that Wikipedia has such a track record of mis-information and non-verified "facts," not to mention poor grammar! I think that if they are copying from Wikipedia (even if it is "legal"), then Wikipedia is having a "contagious" and negative effect on the rest of the internet. This is potentially dangerous to information on the internet in general, as Wikipedia is hardly the most dependable and authoritative source for information on the internet. Maybe there should be a HUGE sentence at the top of these websites that copy from Wikipedia that say CAUTION: THE INFORMATION ON THIS WEBSITE IS FROM WIKIPEDIA. That way, the reader will know to take the "information" in that particular website with a grain of salt.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Mtv2 2005.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Mtv2 2005.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 12:02, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
