Image copyright problem with Image:JB1.jpeg
Thank you for uploading Image:JB1.jpeg. 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. Shinerunner (talk) 00:27, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

There's something that everyone is complaining about called orphanbot. It's function seems to be to select random images for deletion wether they comply with the copyright rules or not. I decided to look at an article i added a while back on James Bassham and I found that the picture I had added which had been provided by the subject of my article was missing. I'm not good enough at using Wikipedia to restore it and I was wondering if someone who knows how would. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.130.190.249 (talk) 23:33, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
 * No Orphanbot goes around sticking tags on articles and images that aren't wikilinked in the project.
 * The problem you encountered on your article James Bassham with Image:JB1.jpeg was that you hadn't completed all the required details regarding copyright. Wikipedia image licensing is quite complex and essentially you need the copyright holder to forward a letter to the foundation licensing the picture as GFDL compatible. Unless you do that the image is likely to be deleted unless you are self licensing yourself because you own the copyright. -- Bp E ps -  t @ lk 05:38, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
