Orphaned non-free image (Image:Galvatron11.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Galvatron11.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images 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 any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 19:07, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

 * They didn't do james jack SHIT! Nothing, not even probation! It speaks to the fact that when an organization gets large enough, it drops concern for its customers (in this case, the user/readers), and focuses on promoting itself and covering it's own ass.  Bidali is laughing,and will continue vandalizing the project.


 * Sorry to bother you Quandry, but I just had to vent. Techno Faye Kane 22:16, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:KellieMartin.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:KellieMartin.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 22:59, 31 July 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Abu badali (talk) 22:59, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Fortune and S&P categories
Could you give me some summary of just what kind of insanity allowed for the deletion of Fortune 500, Fortune 1000, and S&P 500 as Categories in Wikipedia? From what I can decipher, it's okay to list these companies, but not categorize them (for fear of a lawsuit that has never been filed against Wikimedia Foundation)? --Dude Manchap 05:26, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
