[edit] License tagging for Image:D00dz.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:D00dz.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:

[edit] IM IN UR BASE KILLIN UR D00DZ
The article failed to provide any reliable sources as to the so-called meme's notability. User:Zoe|(talk) 19:13, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
It's pretty much impossible for me to contact all of the editors of every non-notable article I delete. There are far too many. I can move the article to your User space at User:Kosmonaut/IM IN UR BASE KILLIN UR D00DZ, if you want, so you can work on it there. But we do need reliable sources. User:Zoe|(talk) 19:29, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
OK, it's moved to your User space. User:Zoe|(talk) 23:14, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Internet memes
Just because a phrase is used on the internet doesn't mean we can have an article about it. We're not a slang dictionary, and we require sources for articles. Friday (talk) 19:38, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
Is it currently Wikipedia policy to do a speedy deletion on an article that doesn't cite its sources? Cdk 20:25, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
- Not for that reason, no. See WP:CSD for the official speedy deletion criteria. In practice, people also frequently delete stuff they consider undesirable content, even if it doesn't exactly match a CSD. Friday (talk) 17:02, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Fridgecat.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Fridgecat.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}}. If you have not already done so, please also include the source of the image. In many cases this will be the website where you found it.
Please specify the copyright information and source on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Jesse Viviano 22:28, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Warning about content from Encyclopedia Dramatica
I noticed that you uploaded Image:Fridgecat.jpg, which came from Encyclopedia Dramatica. Unfortunately, according to a recent Arbitration Committee case, Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/MONGO#Enforcement, editors may be blocked for importing material from that site, because that site is full of personal attacks against, personal information on, and libel against many prominent Wikipedia users and administrators. I am giving you this warning so that you will not wind up getting blocked for importing material from that site, and because I think that you did not know that this material is disallowed on Wikipedia. Jesse Viviano 05:54, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for the reply. Also, another reason that ED is considered a bad source is that many of its articles are known to be false, because one of ED's goals is to be a parody encyclopedia. For one particularly disgusting and obvious example, see its article titled "JEWS DID WTC". Jesse Viviano 01:55, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
