User talk:Tlarson

Greetings
Welcome to Wikipedia. You made an excellent point on Talk:Chiang Kai-shek. I'm certain you'll find Wikipedians to be a friendly and pleasant community. You'll have a pleasant experience here (after you mentally removed people like me from the group). It seems like you're interested in Chinese-Taiwanese politics? You'll probably see a lot of User:Jiang then. He's into those things too. You'll have fun.

Watch out for copyright, be a gentleman, and don't drink-and-drive beside a cliff. --Menchi 07:08, 15 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Image Tagging
Hi there! You do good work around here. Could you help me clarify the copyright status of this image you uploaded: Image:Movement.png? Did you create it? If so, do you license it under the GFDL (our preferred solution)?

If you did not create it, could you please tell us where you got it, so we can ask the copyright holder for permission to use it? Thank you! [[User:CatherineMunro|Catherine\talk]] 01:49, 20 Nov 2004 (UTC)


 * It's okay that the points aren't discussed in the article -- I think the image and the caption speak for themselves. And it's okay that you used another source for the info, if you created the image yourself.  May we put a GFDL tag on it then, licensing it for others to use freely?

Nanjing photos
Well, no, I actually managed to go to Nanjing without even visiting the Sun Yat-sen mausoleum or the KMT capitol. But I live near there, so I hope to go back some time. - Nat Krause 13:27, 3 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Image copyright tags
Thanks for uploading Image:New Party (Taiwan).png. I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag. Could you add one to let us know its copyright status? (You can use if you release it under the GFDL, or  if you claim fair use, etc.) If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know where you got the images and I'll tag them for you. Thanks so much, Tagishsimon (talk) 16:40, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Mpstonalmarks.png
Thanks for uploading Image:Mpstonalmarks.png. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use to release it under the GFDL. If you can claim fair use use. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of image pages you have edited by going to "Your contributions" from your user page 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. Thanks so much.

Non-free use disputed for Image:New Party (Taiwan).png
Thanks for uploading Image:New Party (Taiwan).png. 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. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure 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 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.BetacommandBot 16:58, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:New Party (Taiwan).png)
Thanks for uploading Image:New Party (Taiwan).png. 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 07:54, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

File:Blue eagle.jpg needs authorship information.
Dear uploader:

The media file you uploaded as File:Blue eagle.jpg appears to be missing information as to its authorship (and or source), or if you did provide such information, it is confusing for others trying to make use of the image.

It would be appreciated if you would consider updating the file description page, to make the authorship of the media clearer.

Although some images may not need author information in obvious cases, (such where an applicable source is provided),authorship information aids users of the image, and helps ensure that appropriate credit is given (a requirement of some licenses).

If you created this media yourself, please consider explicitly including your user name, for which: will produce an appropriate expansion,

or the own template..

If you have any questions please see Help:Image page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 15:46, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

Bill Bishop (author and journalist)
This is an automated message from MadmanBot. I have performed a search with the contents of Bill Bishop (author and journalist), and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: Bill Bishop (author). It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page&mdash; you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally trying to rename an article, please see Help:Moving a page for instructions on how to do this without copying and pasting. If you are trying to move or copy content from one article to a different one, please see Copying within Wikipedia and be sure you have acknowledged the duplication of material in an edit summary to preserve attribution history.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. MadmanBot (talk) 19:53, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give a page a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you.
