[edit] re: Remembrance Day

Discussion from User talk:Solipsist

You recently removed a link from the Remembrance Day article

Perhaps if you had bothered to read the piece in question (by an old soldier no less), you would have seen that it was powerfully relevant. Also, many readers did follow the link. Perhaps there are times when usual protocol can be relaxed, especially when the piece linked to is definitely to the point! -- User:Curiousexplorer 10:31, 15 November 2005

Hi Curious,
I can understand how this might be a sensitive topic for you, but please be aware that the primary purpose of Wikipedia is to be an encyclopedia. As such external links in general are discouraged and should only be used to link to information directly about the topic concerned. In addition, editors are discouraged from linking to their own web sites - see Wikipedia:External links and related pages for more guidance.
Plenty of people try to add poetry links to various articles, yet about the only place they are truely relevant is on an article about the poet who wrote them. There are also a considerable number of high quality poems which are considered relevant to the topic of Remembrance Day, see for example this collection.
Nevertheless, which external links to include or leave out is not a decision that is purely down to me. Wikipedia is built on the basis of group consensus. If you can find several other editors who think that the link is a good idea, it might be possible to persuade people to include the link on that page. A good place to ask might be the talk page for Rememberance Day — although it might be an idea to wait a little while, there has recently started a complicated discussion about merging Rememberance Day with Armistice Day and a couple of other related articles that will probably consume the attention of most interested editors for a while. -- Solipsist 11:34, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image Tagging Image:Lsignme.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Lsignme.jpg. The image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image 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 image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image 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 images, 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. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. -- Carnildo 07:54, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Reddoglogo2.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Reddoglogo2.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.

[edit] Image removal

You have just removed my image (right) Image:reddoglogo2.jpg, though I indicated that I had the copyright & am therefore entitled to use it. Such sabotage is a criminal waste of my time. I posted 'Carnildo' to make it clear that this was my image, created by myself. I only upload images that are my property.I don't have time or energy to keep chasing this stuff up. Please stop wrecking my entries or I'll stop making contributions . Curiousexplorer 10:10, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

You uploaded it, and you may have the copyright to it, but you neglected to indicate what terms you were licensing it under. This is a basic requirement of uploading images on Wikipedia. I note you say you have permission to use some of the images you've uploaded on Wikipedia, but this isn't good enough -- you need to get permission to release the image under a free license. --Carnildo 19:12, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
