File permission problem with File:DarrylWPerry.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:DarrylWPerry.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for 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 permissions-en@wikimedia.org, 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 permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use 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 in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 14:49, 14 September 2020 (UTC)

I have updated the file linking to the photographer's website where she states "Use them for your FB profile, your campaigns, your Tinder/OKCupid — whatever you need. Don’t need to ask my permission first!" WombatP (talk) 15:00, 14 September 2020 (UTC)
 * That statement is not very specific with respect to licensing. I suggest you get formal declaration of licensing from the photographer.  See Requesting copyright permission. -- Whpq (talk) 15:18, 14 September 2020 (UTC)

Welcome, and thank you for your attempt to lighten up Wikipedia. However, this is an encyclopedia, and articles are intended to be serious, so please don't make joke edits, as you did to Pig War (1859). Readers looking for accurate information will not find them amusing. If you'd like to experiment with editing, please use your sandbox instead, where you are given a certain degree of freedom in what you write. Peaceray (talk) 04:35, 31 July 2022 (UTC)

The pig (owned by the Hudson Bay Company) killed in the pig war was a casualty. My edit was made to clarify that there was a non-human fatality in the conflict. WombatP (talk) 05:30, 31 July 2022 (UTC)


 * As I have indicated in the edit summary, I believe the template Infobox military conflict parameter casualities2 refers to human casualities. You can attempt to get clarification on the template's use at Template talk:Infobox military conflict, or, as WP:BRD suggests, discuss at Talk:Pig War (1859) & attempt to get consensus for its inclusion.

 * I have made a post on the template talk page, and cited the Gombe Chimpanzee War as an example of a military conflict template listing non-human casualties. WombatP (talk) 04:21, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
