[edit] Image:Hooverdambypass.jpg listed for deletion

Dear uploader: The media file you uploaded as Image:Hooverdambypass.jpg has been listed for speedy deletion because you selected a copyright license type implying some type of restricted use, such as for non-commercial use only, or for educational use only or for use on Wikipedia by permission. While it might seem reasonable to assume that such files can be freely used on Wikipedia, a non-profit website, this is in fact not the case. Please do not upload any more files with these restrictions on them, because content on Wikipedia needs to be compatible with the GNU Free Documentation License, which allows anyone to use it for any purpose, commercial or non-commercial.

If you created this media file and want to use it on Wikipedia, you may re-upload it, but use the license {{GFDL-self}} to license it under the GFDL, or {{cc-by-sa-2.5}} to license it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license, or use {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain.

If you did not create this media file but want to use it on Wikipedia, there are two ways to proceed. First, you may choose one of the fair use tags from this list if you believe one of those fair use rationales applies to this file. Second, you may want to contact the copyright holder and request that they make the media available under a free license.

If you have any questions please ask at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you. — Saxifrage ✎ 06:42, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
It looks like someone else has taken care of it! Anything produced by the US Federal government is released into the public domain. When you said "with permission" in the upload form, Wikipedia took this to mean that permission was being given to only Wikipedia and that's why it showed up on my list of problem images. (FYI, since Wikipedia material is used outside Wikipedia, when only Wikipedia has permission to use something it causes headaches for us and other people who use our stuff. That's why "with permission" is generally a problem.) Thanks for the image! — Saxifrage ✎ 21:47, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use images in user space

Hello. It might be a good idea to remove the copyrighted album and dvd covers from your user page, since fair use images should not be used in the user space according to Wikipedia:Fair use criteria #9. Thanks. Khatru2 08:10, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

done! thanks for the info! Jailbreaker22 20:24, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Do not delete template request

Unfortunately, this can not be carried out. The policy is that an author requesting a page not be deleted does not automatically stop deletion, and creating a template saying otherwise will not circumvent it. If you think it is a good idea, you should discuss it at Wikipedia talk:Deletion policy first, andestablish a consensus that such a thing should be made. If the policy is changed, the template can be made. -Amarkov blahedits 02:05, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

  • There is one exception: If a page is nominated for speedy deletion, the author may place a {{hangon}} tag on the article and explain their rationale for non-deletion on the talk page. This does not guarantee an admin will not delete your article if they believe it qualifies under the criteria for speedy deletion. Don't try to use a template, but you can post a message on the talk page explaining your reason for keeping, and asking to contest any proposed speedy deletion and take the decision to articles for deletion for a full hearing. Ideally though, if you find a lot of articles you make get deleted, perhaps you should review what Wikipedia is not before creating more. --Dgies 07:21, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

What page is it that you've created twice? I'd be happy to take a look at it and tell you why it may have been deleted. EVula // talk // ☯ // 15:40, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
