Signing with three tildes &#126;&#126;&#126; will just sign your username. I hope to see you around Wikipedia! If you have any questions, feel free to contact me on my talk page!

Image copyright problem with Image:WL-West.jpg
Thank you for uploading Image:WL-West.jpg. 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. Spamguy 17:14, 6 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Sorry, but you're not the copyright holder of the Rebecca West pic, and you don't have the authority to release it into public domain. Ownership is held by Wyndham Lewis' estate, or possibly some library that owns his stuff. Your only two options here are a) to contact the owner (probably cited in the book you referenced) and ask permission, and b) remove the picture.

Sorry. Marvellous pic though. :) Spamguy 16:55, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

As far as I know, copyright has lapsed; the copy I own is a 1st edition, and the work certainly hasn't been in print for a long time. As it is simply illustrating text, its inclusion could be justified as giving a 'taster' of the book without diminishing any incentive to purchase. But the image has been deleted now, so who cares...

Orphaned non-free media (Image:WL-West.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:WL-West.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. BetacommandBot 02:32, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Stubbs Society
Please refrain from introducing inappropriate pages, such as Stubbs Society, to Wikipedia. Doing so is not in accordance with our policies. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox.

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 page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. RolandR 17:06, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
 * 1) editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
 * 2) participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. RolandR 12:40, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

License information needed for File:Loosen wines.jpeg
Hello, !

It was really helpful of you to upload File:Loosen wines.jpeg. However, in order to keep and use new images, they need to have a license.

If you can edit the description page and add the appropriate license, that would be great. If you're not sure how or need help, please ask at the media copyright questions page and we'll be happy to assist you.

Thanks again! --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 00:06, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of File:Stubbs Society logo.jpg


The file File:Stubbs Society logo.jpg has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Unused logo with no article used, it's also can't move to commons because of an unused logo will be deleted as of out of project scope."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
