Fair use rationale for Image:MPAlogo.gif
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:MPAlogo.gif. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

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 non-free media 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. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:MPAGarage8.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:MPAGarage8.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. BetacommandBot 13:31, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Image:MPAlogo.gif
A tag has been placed on Image:MPAlogo.gif requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on  explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Speedy deletion nomination of Miami parking authority


A tag has been placed on Miami parking authority requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

Copying Web Pages
You have received several notices about copyright violations. You cannot simply copy those pages to Wikipedia (see above notices). You must write material in your own words or get permission from the copyright holder (see above). Please respond to this note indicating you understand. Thanks you. -- Whpq (talk) 17:29, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

This page should not be speedy deleted as an unambiguous copyright infringement, because... (Current Employee. We are inputting the info ourselves.http://www.miamiparking.com/en/wikicopyright.aspx ) --Sypherterius (talk) 19:09, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

Comment: I still have some concerns. Firstly, the web site pages aside from the one noted above all state "© 2006-2012 Miami Parking Authority. All Rights Reserved." whereas the page you have shown makes no statements of scope (which pages on the site) are under such a license. Secondly, the licensing is vague. It's GFDL (which version) or public domain? Which is it? And thirdly, you state you are an employee, but it is not clear that you have the legal authority on behalf of the Miami Parking Authority to release content under a free or public domain license.

I suggest that you may want to contact the Volunteer Response Team to provide proof that the material on this page is properly released under a license compatible with Wikipedia.

You should understand that if this content is placed in a Wikipedia article, other editors will edit and alter the content to conform to Wikipedia guidelines and policies. Furthermore, the release of this content licensing is not only for Wikipedia, other people and organisations are also free to make use of the content under the license.

Aside from the copyright issue, there is issue of tone. Wikipedia is not a web host, and simply copying the Miami Parking Authority web site content is problematic. -- Whpq (talk) 19:27, 30 April 2012 (UTC)


 * I've copied this over from the talk page, as I'm not sure you've had a chance to see it.


 * I'm afraid that I agree with Whpq. We need you to specify what is being released. Also, I'm afraid that we can no longer accept GFDL as the sole license. Since the content was deleted last, we have changed our own licensing scheme. If you are able to specify what you are releasing (whether it is certain pages or the entire website, text or images) and alter the license to the currently used CC-By-SA, please come by my talk page, and I can restore the article again.


 * We recommend language like this:
 * The text of this website [or page, if you are specifically releasing one section; please do specify] is available for modification and reuse under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-Sharealike 3.0 Unported License.
