Ship templates
I noticed that you re-added the country/flag parameters to several cruise ships. Per the templates code outlined at WP:SHIP (template at WikiProject Ships/Tables), those parameters are not used on commercial ships (the flag is shown in the port of registry field). --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 01:02, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Image:Oceana (ship).jpg
A tag has been placed on Image:Oceana (ship).jpg, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

The image displays Regatta of Oceania Cruises (of which a free image is already available), not P&O Cruises Oceana

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add  on the top of the page and leave a note on  explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. -- Kjet (talk · contribs) 10:34, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

SSTs
Hi Trulystand700, and thanks for your recent contributions about SSTs - these have filled a couple of gaps in our coverage. Please be a little more careful with facts, however: you wrote about these two aircraft projects as though they were current, whereas neither has been under development for many years. Of course, if you have some source that shows us that they have been revived, we'd love to know about it! --Rlandmann (talk) 19:46, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:High Speed Civil Transport (HSCT).jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:High Speed Civil Transport (HSCT).jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure 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. NrDg 21:12, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Fair use images are for the main article namespace only, not for userboxes (which is in the User space). Plus there are plenty of suitable free images in Commons that can be resized for use. Please make an effort to find a free image next time. Kelvinc (talk) 20:24, 24 December 2007 (UTC)


 * NOTE: "As of now there are no fair use replacements on the internet and others can be deemed unusable" is never a sufficient justification for the fair use exemption of the use of copyrighted material. The internet is not the sole source of images particularly when a subject is in existence and a picture can be take of it. This has been pointed out to you before and was part of the reason you were blocked in your other incarnations. Please don't restart the same pattern here. --NrDg 20:46, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Map
I want to upload a map of The Triborough Bridge from this website on google can i upload and put it on the page about the Triborough please respond. --Trulystand700 —Preceding comment was added at 22:08, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
 * No, that would not be usable unless the copyright owner is willing to or already has released it to public domain. See WP:FU. The site www.ny.com likely has permission to use or owns the copyright to the map. You can create your own version of this illustration, as long as it is not a tracing, and upload that. Similar to how we can't use text from other sources but can paraphrase in our own words what is said. You can also search in wiki commons and see if someone has already created this illustration. Rule of thumb, pretty much any image you find on the net will be a copyright problem. Fair use exemptions are pretty strict and limited. See WP:FU. What Wiki would like people to do is create their own images, much like we create our own text. Take pictures, draw illustrations and donate that to wiki is highly appreciated. --NrDg 23:06, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the maps you drew for this and for Throgs Neck Bridge but unfortunately they are just too crude to be useful. I hope you can eventually get or draw more useful maps.  Incidentally you may have noticed that I made one of the photographs.  This is because I lack the skill to make a good drawing.  A drawing can be better than a photo, but only when made by a carefully trained hand.  Jim.henderson (talk) 19:06, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

Page protection
Adding the tags to your pages just puts the lock icon in the upper right corner. It doesn't actually protect the page. Eventually a bot will come around and remove the tag. You can get your user page protected if you want - let me know and I'll do it for you or ask on WP:RPP. Your talk page has to stay unprotected so anonymous people can communicate with you. --NrDg 00:09, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Protected your page as requested. --NrDg 00:16, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

Welcome to WikiProject Trains
Hello and welcome to the Trains WikiProject! Thank you for adding your name to our project membership list. Our goal is to build the most comprehensive and detailed guide to rail transport on Wikipedia. As a project member, you may add the project membership userbox to your user page if you wish.

If you haven't done so already, please add our main project page to your watchlist and take some time to review the Trains project manual of style where we have collected guidelines and suggestions on notability and style for a consistent representation of rail transport related material. If you're curious about where to start, we've gathered a few suggestions in the Trains project to do list. If you'd like to specialize in a particular area of study within rail transport, take a look at the current Trains project task forces.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask on the project talk page or on my talk page. Again, welcome and happy editing! Slambo (Speak) 12:08, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Second Avenue Subway, etc.
I am starting a discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject New York City Public Transportation regarding your images. We will decide whether we want to allow the use of images from the MTA website in Second Avenue Subway, Fulton Street Transit Center, and other articles, taking into account the lack of copyright information given, as well as the fair use criteria.

WikiProject Food and Drink Newsletter January 2008

--Chef Christopher Allen Tanner, CCC (talk) 05:15, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Atlantica (aircraft) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, 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 the article's talk page 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 confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Mhking (talk) 02:24, 7 January 2008 (UTC)


 * I've temporarily tagged the article as underconstruction and will check back in 24-48 hours. Please read the pages linked within the above message and address the concerns raised. - auburn pilot   talk  02:56, 7 January 2008 (UTC)


 * After a closer look, I've deleted the article as a copyright infringement of http://www.wingco.com/atlantica_bwb.htm . We cannot accept copy/pasted material from other websites. If you wish to use the company's website as a source, please do, but do not simply copy the content of their website and insert it here. You must use your own words. - auburn pilot   talk  03:11, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

...for turning MV Sirius and SS California from red to blue. I'm a bit confused by California, though&mdash;it seemed you were working off the information at WikiProject Ships/Tasks, but the ship you've written about does not appear to be the same one described in the articles S.S. California strike and Joseph Curran. Can you clarify by providing some references? Maralia (talk) 04:40, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Woodhaven Junction (LIRR station).jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Woodhaven Junction (LIRR station).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. BJBot (talk) 23:16, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Ship articles
Thanks for starting ship stubs from the requested articles lists. Please make an effort to include references for each article you start. It would also help if you reviewed any of the ship articles you recently started, to see the changes that I have made in regard to capitalization, grammar and formatting. Thanks. Maralia (talk) 15:45, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for improving MV Sirius with an infobox and a source. I've tweaked the infobox to separate the ship's military and civilian careers.

 * Look at the image page Image:Signature Tower.png and see if the justifications match what you want to include in the City Tech Tower article. Make sure you include both the license information and the rationale similar to the one that image used and you should be OK.

Replaceable fair use Image:7 Subway Extension1.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:7 Subway Extension1.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the media description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --ChrisRuvolo (t) 15:07, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Image source problem with Image:The 8.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:The 8.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, 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, 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 Non-free content, 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 02:53, 23 January 2008 (UTC).

Your request
I cannot delete images at this present time. Just let the statutory time run out on the image put forth by the deletion notice and the image will be deleted. You do not have to do anything if an image is tagged that you uploaded and you want it deleted.

An image that you uploaded, Image:Image-Turkish_Airlines_Flight_981.jpg, has been listed at because it is a suspected copyright violation. Please look there if you know that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), and then provide the necessary information there and on its page, if you are interested in it not being deleted.

Route maps/diagrams
For simple route diagrams that do not require geographical accuracy, I recommend using Route diagram template.

Unfree images (again) and copy-paste article
The first five images below can be replaced: the bridge and chocolate photos can be replaced by you taking a photo of these things. The subway diagrams can be replaced with your own image or Route diagram template. All this should be familiar to you by now. I am also skeptical of your claim that the beagle image is free, and have listed it as a possibly unfree image. Finally I found that you copy-and-pasted to create an article, and have labelled appropriately. See each entry for the appropriate process. Kelvinc (talk) 07:10, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the media description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kelvinc (talk) 07:10, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:MV Beluga SkySails & The Skysail.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:MV Beluga SkySails & The Skysail.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).

Dornier Rs III
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Dornier Rs III, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.eads.com/1024/en/eads/history/airhist/1910_1919/dornier_rs3_1917.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

This message was placed automatically, and 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 and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 18:31, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Dornier Rs III
A tag has been placed on Dornier Rs III requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

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 the talk page 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.

Why deal with so many pictures from other people? Why not do your own photography?

Florian Bollen
A tag has been placed on Florian Bollen, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing no content to the reader. Please note that external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article don't count as content. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template   to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

A new task force - ESA
Hello,

I've noticed that you are active in the area of space exploration. I just wanted to let you know that a European Space Agency task force has been set up to improve the presently very poor condition of articles about ESA and related topics. If you are interested, please join the task force here. We sure could use your help. Thanks.U5K0 (talk) 11:34, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:TACA Flight 390.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:TACA Flight 390.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. BJBot (talk) 05:09, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:JFK_Transportation_Project.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:JFK_Transportation_Project.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the media description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? – Dream out loud (talk) 19:25, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Akashi Strait
A tag has been placed on Akashi Strait requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page 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. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. -- BeezHive (talk|contribs) 14:33, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
