[edit] copyright violations

Please don't use material in wikipedia that is copyrighted elsewhere. Image:Hydrostation.gif, for example, is copyrighted by [1] and may not be used in wikipedia without permission. Thanks--Duk 20:48, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Pornography is rarely if ever fair use

Would you care to explain under what legal interpretation of fair use you believe these images you are uploading qualify? Someone took those photos, they presumably expect to profit from selling them, and it is very unlikely we can use these. You seem to just be being disruptive to prove a point.

I see you have decided to come back. You seem to have taken it upon yourself to illustrate the pornstar articles with porn (not my choice, but whatever), but because of the questionable nature of the content, you can expect any claims of fair use to be subjected to considerable scrutiny. One thing we expect in making these claims is that you identify not just the copyright holder but the original document, video, or other material that they are taken from. The level of detail should be such that someone could, god forbid, go out and find the original sources. A magazine title and date/volume would be appropriate, as would the precise name of any video tape or broadcast. Dragons flight 01:18, August 26, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding Image:Tiffany Fallon.jpg

Hi there. I have just reviewed your image Image:Tiffany Fallon.jpg and have found that it contains a watermark on the bottom left-hand corner, which betrays that the image is from a photo shoot rather than that of a screencapture generated from a film or video. I have listed it at possible copyright violations for review. Should you wish to contest this, please do so at WP:CP. Thank you. -- Joe Beaudoin Jr. ^{Think out loud} 22:20, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

Since you have yet to reply, I have decided to add the "no source" tag. Since the image is clearly from a photoshoot and not a screencap, the info on the image description page is misleading -- thus the information needs to be fixed. -- Joe Beaudoin Jr. ^{Think out loud} 22:33, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image Tagging Image:Rush R30 2004.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Rush R30 2004.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, 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 unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. feydey 01:31, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism

Do not call edits which you dislike vandalism. Bill the bear 22:18, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 3RR Warning

Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia under the three-revert rule, which states that nobody may revert an article to a previous version more than three times in 24 hours. (Note: this also means editing the page to reinsert an old edit. If the effect of your actions is to revert back, it qualifies as a revert.) Thank you.

This warning is going out to both of the users who have made the majority of the reverts to Celtic Park over the 5-star rating of the stadium. Please sort it out on the talk page before making any more edits --GraemeL ^(talk) 23:58, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:CC-115 Buffalo.jpg

This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:CC-115 Buffalo.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.

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. Jkelly 17:28, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
