Hi,

You may want to look at the Supersymmetry page. It is in need of expert attention, and you appear to be a likely canidate. scienceman 21:24, 26 March 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Image Tagging Image:Jade-3j.gif

Warning sign
This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Jade-3j.gif. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading 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, consider checking 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 please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stifle (talk) 13:49, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

hi stifle,

i called the law department of DESY to confirm we can use it fairly and added source and copyright information to the above image. if this has to be in a specific format, its not quick to find in the manuals. if all is fine, can you please revert Three jet event so the (very important) image is visible again? thanks! gbrandt 16:44, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Unfortunately this is not sufficient. We need verifiable proof that the image can be used on Wikipedia, or else we need to assert fair use. Please have someone from DESY email permissions@wikimedia.org to confirm that we have permission to use the images under the GFDL, a Creative Commons license, or without any conditions, and have them reference Image:Jade-3j.gif in their email, or alternatively post a link on Image talk:Jade-3j.gif to where this is indicated on the website. Once you have done this, you can re-add the image yourself. Thanks! Stifle (talk) 23:07, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Frapazoid

Please do not insert incorrect information into Wikipedia, as you did at the Placeholder name article. Doing so deliberately is considered vandalism. If this was a good-faith edit, then please be mindful of Wikipedia's policy on citing your sources—you shouldn't add information which cannot be verified by reputable third-party sources. Thank you. —Psychonaut 20:17, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
