License tagging for Image:Bradyheights.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Bradyheights.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

Tulsa articles
You've done a nice job on the National Register of Historic Places articles in Tulsa, Oklahoma. I'm part of WikiProject National Register of Historic Places and I've worked on several articles within the project, so it's cool to see a bunch of new articles about Tulsa's sites. You might want to check out the WikiProject page for some background. Also, I've added infoboxes to the articles you've created, based on a query of the National Register database.

I just want to clarify that you are indeed a representative of the Tulsa Preservation Commission and that it's okay to copy the text from your organization's web site. See Copyrights for more information.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me here or on my talk page. Happy editing! --Elkman (Elkspeak) 20:47, 22 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Oh, and one more thing: You might want to add categories to these articles with and  .  Also, List of Registered Historic Places in Oklahoma contains the entire list of NRHP properties in Oklahoma, though you probably know all of them already.  --Elkman (Elkspeak) 20:49, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Maple Ridge (Tulsa)
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your, but 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.

Feel free to re-submit a new version of the article. 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.

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 include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later."

You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here. You can also leave a message on my talk page. ... disco spinster   talk  13:44, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

More on donating copyrighted materials
I checked around a little bit more and I found this page: Donating copyrighted materials. The section "Granting us permission to copy material already on line" gives some guidance in this process. Basically, you have three options: You can either put a notice on your site saying that you're releasing the material under the GNU Free Documentation License, you can place a notice on your site saying that Wikipedia has permission to reuse the material, or you can leave a notice here on this talk page saying that Wikipedia has permission to use material from http://tulsapreservationcommission.org/. Someone from Wikipedia will contact the email address listed on your site and confirm that Wikipedia has permission to reuse the content.

The articles Example requests for permission and Requesting copyright permission provide some more guidance. It appears that you can send email to "permissions-en AT wikimedia DOT org" to confirm that you give Wikipedia permission to reuse the content.

I know the copyright and permission stuff sounds complicated, but it's in place so people just don't blatantly copy material from other Web sites and post it to Wikipedia and infringe copyright in the process. Basically, Wikipedia is trying to avoid legal trouble from people violating copyright.

If you have any other questions, feel free to ask on my talk page. --Elkman (Elkspeak) 15:09, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Re your message
Apologies for the delay in replying - I've been offline for a while now. It also appears that you are no longer contributing, but if you still want some explanation as to why your images were deleted, please let me know. Regards, CLW 13:55, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Gillettemansion.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Gillettemansion.jpg, which you've sourced to http://www.tulsapreservationcommission.org/nationalregister/districts/gillette/properties/. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to , stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to .

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 File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log]. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.  Ron h jones (Talk) 01:26, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

hey, welcome, and join NRHP
Hi, welcome, I see you're developing articles like Brady Heights (Tulsa) about the NRHP-listed Brady Heights Historic District and other historic site articles. It's really great that you're contributing photos and other material. Sorry about the image tagging going on, that must be frustrating. I invite you to join Wikiproject NRHP (shortcut wp:NRHP) as a member, which is the "club" or WikiProject for people interested in NRHP-listed historic sites. Whether you join formally or not, you're very welcome to post at its main talk page, shortcut wt:NRHP, to ask for help or to comment or ask questions. There are lots of experienced user-members there who would really like to be helpful to you. I think in general that most copyright-focused editors, including several I know of who participate in the OTRS system to manage copyright permissions, are really intending to be helpful, and that it's just a matter of figuring out the system with their help. I do hope you hang in and get the OTRS system working for addressing photos that are on one of your organization's websites already. Cheers, -- do ncr  am  05:11, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

P.S. In particular I'd personally be happy, and I think other NRHP editors might also, to help develop some articles of NRHP places listed in National Register of Historic Places listings in Tulsa County, Oklahoma. I'm happy to see that the National Register has most Oklahoma NRHP application documents available on-line, which helps a lot. I and others are pretty good at putting those into references and developing articles somewhat. Can you post at wt:NRHP or here about any that you'd like to see started up? -- do ncr  am  05:18, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
