Image Tagging Image:Great white jump.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Great white jump.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified 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 media 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 media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, 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 unsourced and untagged images 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. feydey 09:19, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

Naming conventions for sharks
Generally we name articles about species using the the common name (if there is one), with the scientific name as a redirect. We never put both into an article name. So your article Grey Nurse shark (Carcharias taurus) should really be at grey nurse shark, with a redirect from Carcharias taurus. You can see that we already have an article on this species, so you need to merge your contributions into the regularly named article.

Some of your other contributions need to be merged, for example Goblin shark (Mitsukurina owstoni) needs to be merged with goblin shark.

Some others just need to be moved to their correct name, for example Indian Sandtiger shark (Eugomphodus tricuspidatus) can simply be moved to Indian sandtiger shark and a redirect created from Eugomphodus tricuspidatus.

There's more detail about naming at Naming conventions (fauna).

Let me know if you're having trouble with this and I'll give you a hand. Gdr 15:49, 3 July 2006 (UTC)


 * On a second look, it appears that you copied these article from www.shark.ch. So unfortunately we can't use the text, and there's nothing to merge. I've redirected some of your articles and listed the rest for deletion. Gdr 22:03, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Megamouth.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Megamouth.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 18:25, 8 February 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ~ Bigr  Tex  18:25, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
