[edit] Why did you delete my changes/article?

Hi, I signed up for Wikipedia and have made very few changes or additions to any of the articles. However, the one article I actually spent a lot of time writing and adding to was the Heidelberg College article. I see it no longer exists thanks to you. Well, I have tried to follow the tons and tons of rules and guidelines for Wiki, and if you don't think it's good enough, then that's up to you. You should know, though, that your evil-handed and aggressive ways of deleting perfecting good articles will drive away users who only want to help. Also, no one ever emailed me and explained anything or asked me to change anything. What a joke. In fact, you can consider this my last attempt at Wiki as it is too complicated and strict for a casual user like myself. The community-driven, user-friendly farce of Wiki is out of my life! Thanks for nothing! You suck! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Donovanb62 (talk • contribs) 20:31, 18 January 2006 (UTC).

Heidelberg College spent over two weeks at WP:CP as copyright infringement. A very conspicuous notice to that effect was put on the article on January 1 by User:JLaTondre, giving you 15 days to appeal. I was not deleting out of process.
Also, email is a rarely used communication method on Wikipedia. It is only used to appeal a block or ban and other communication that cannot happen with talk pages.
Please see the civility policy and No personal attacks. (If the policies seem overwhelming, just see the list of all policies and guidelines.) --Wikiacc 20:41, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:GillmorHall_June05.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:GillmorHall_June05.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 on Wikipedia 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. You can get help on image copyright tagging from Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags. -- Carnildo 09:58, 31 January 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Image Tagging Image:Campuscenter heidelberg.jpg

Warning sign
This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Campuscenter heidelberg.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-self}} 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. Shyam (T/C) 19:33, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
