Please put a copyright notice on all of your uploaded pictures. Thank you. Wikipedian27 15:13, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Please do not remove speedy deletion tags from articles that you have created yourself. If you do not believe the article deserves to be deleted, then please place on the page and make your case on the article's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the article. Thank you. -- Armadillo From Hell 15:43, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:Hammond,scott.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Hammond,scott.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:
 * Image use policy
 * Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Media copyright questions. 16:07, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

You will possibly have more success with an article on Scott Hammond himself rather than just create a page on his work, as it looks like blatent advertising Images should have a fair use tag added to them plus you need to explain why it is fair use for us to have this picture.

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 irrevocably release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later, for use on Wikipedia and elsewhere."

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. Wikipedian27 16:09, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Scott Hammond
A tag has been placed on Scott Hammond, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable. If you can indicate why Scott Hammond is really notable, you can contest the tagging. To do this, please affix the template  to the page and leave a note on Talk:Scott Hammond, explaining how Scott Hammond is notable. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself.

Please read the criteria for speedy deletion (specifically, article #7) and our general biography criteria. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. &mdash; ERcheck (talk) 18:24, 29 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Saw your article was up for speedy deletion, and just wanted to offer a suggestion as to how to combat it.


 * Generally speaking, a personal site isn't accepted as the only mark of somebody's notability. A lot of people have personal sites, and they aren't notable for it.  The best thing to do would be to find a couple of other sources about Hammond, talking about his project, and link those; newspaper articles work, as do gallery notices and exhibit reviews.  If you have some kind of print source - an exhibition notice, or a catalogue with a bio - cite that as well.  It's not as easily checked, but it's usually a good mark of notability.


 * Hope this helps! --User:AlbertHerring Io son l'orecchio e tu la bocca: parla! 19:49, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Albert,

Thank you so much for your helpful suggestions. I found several citaions and articles on Hammond and his work. I've added them to the page. Hope that helps. Thanks again!

~Will


 * My pleasure. I went ahead and added a couple of category tags to the article, and stubbed it as well - this means that it's marked for further expansion if anybody else wants to work on it.


 * Happy editing! --User:AlbertHerring Io son l'orecchio e tu la bocca: parla! 02:21, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

I deleted an image on Scott Hammond and you added it back. Note that the image has been tagged for speedy deletion, and should not be in the article. -- Armadillo From Hell 21:59, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Actually, I did not add that second image. I don't know who did that. I have removed it. Thanks for the heads up.


 * It is a little confusing, but it's back in order. Here is what happened (look at the history). I removed the image with a note (Remove image - since is not eligible for use) since at that point the image was marked for for speedy deletion. You then put it back in, and I posted the note above; but before you answered me, someone added a second image (which was the one you thought I complained about) and you removed it, I just put that one it back in, since at some point during that whole sequence, both the images got changed and were no longer set for speedy deletion. -- Armadillo From Hell 02:36, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Thank you so much for your help. I really appreciate it.

Unspecified source for Image:Hammond,scott.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Hammond,scott.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-no-disclaimers 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 22:56, 13 April 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MECU ≈ talk 22:56, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Hammond,scott.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Hammond,scott.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 fair use images lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MECU ≈ talk 22:56, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:Garden-of-eden.jpg)
Thanks for uploading File:Garden-of-eden.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) 05:02, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
