[edit] Image:Lamborghini_Police_Car.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Lamborghini_Police_Car.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).
The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}
.
Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator.
This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you have questions about copyright tagging of images, post on Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags or User talk:Carnildo/images. 05:50, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
- Please respect others' copyrights; do not copy and paste the contents from webpages directly.
- Please use a neutral point of view when editing articles; this is possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.
- If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
- Do not add unreasonable contents into any articles, such as: copyrighted text, advertisement messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Adding such unreasonable information or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism, and will result in your account being blocked.
The Wikipedia Tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using three tildes, like this: howcheng {chat}. Four tildes (~~~~) produces your name and the current date. Again, welcome!

[edit] Re: Diamond Head picture
AledD said:
- Hi, I was just looking on a couple of user pages and noticed you've added at least a handful of messages asking people to vote for the Diamond Head Crater pic. I wonder if you believe this is acceptable behavior on wikipedia. I think it creates an unhealthy bias and should be avoided. Perhaps I should campain against you to even the odds (just kidding I havnt got that much time)?
Oh! I'm sorry. I didn't think about bias...I just thought that people wouldn't know about it being posted without someone saying so, and I wanted opinions on it from people who know the area (be they nice opinions or not)...which is why I requested comments from people working on Project:Hawaii. I didn't mean to be unfair; I just thought I was expanding the jury pool. Sorry! :( In any case, it doesn't look like it's up to FP muster anyway. Thanks for the heads-up!

[edit] Vauxhall
Hi! It's not incorrect to say Vauxhall is a private company, it is. From what I know of the infobox the options are public or private. Vauxhall Motors Limited is a private company, wholly owned by GM. -Mark83
- I see, I just thought that 'subsidiary' would be a bit more specific. 'Subsidiary' is used on the Opel Page. -Aled D 14:38, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
- I had a look at Template talk:Infobox Company/Syntax Descriptions and we're both right. It should read: Private (subsidiary of General Motors). Though this makes the "parent" section a bit redundant. Thanks for getting back to me. Mark83 14:57, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
