[edit] Image Tagging Image:Capt richard winters 506e.jpg

Warning sign
This image may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Capt richard winters 506e.jpg. I notice 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 can claim fair use use {{fairusein|article name}} or {{fairuse}}. 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. Thank you. Harro5 08:53, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

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

Thanks for uploading Image:Herbert_sobel.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 18:33, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Military commander boxes

Martorius, do you think you could work the taxo-boxes you're adding to military officer pages into a template within the WikiProject Military history? Check the current ones and see if you can create one (I can help if you'd like): Template:Infobox Military Conflict and Template:Infobox Military Unit (you have to go to edit mode before it is clear that they're the right place to go). --Habap 19:01, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image Copyrights

I really need to learn how to do the image copyrights, I guess :P
--Martorius 18:51, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Administrator Help

I'm really not the right person to ask, given that I've never actually tried setting up my own Wiki ;-)

There's a bunch of documentation here (and in the various pages linked from it) that may be useful. If that's not enough, the better place to ask would be at the Village Pump, or from one of the developers.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help. —Kirill Lokshin 18:23, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Military history WikiProject Newsletter, Issue I

The Military history WikiProject Newsletter
Issue I - March 2006
Project news
From the Coordinators

Welcome to the inaugural issue of the Military history WikiProject's newsletter! We hope that this new format will help members—especially those who may be unable to keep up with some of the rapid developments that tend to occur—find new groups and programs within the project that they may wish to participate in.

Please consider this inital issue to be a prototype; as always, any comments and suggestions are quite welcome, and will help us improve the newsletter in the coming months.

Kirill Lokshin, Lead Coordinator

Current proposals
  • Proposed guidelines for categories of military people are currently being discussed. A number of issues have already been resolved, but the proposed scheme is still in draft form and further input would be very welcome.

[edit] Image Tagging Image:Wintersandspeirs.jpg

Warning sign
This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Wintersandspeirs.jpg. 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. Thuresson 09:01, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Paul Franklin (soldier)

Hello, I realize that you have not edited wikipedia for some time, but in the off chance that you are lurking somewhere in the shadows, I thought you would like to know that I have posted Mr. Franklin's article, one you created, for deletion. If you have anything you would like to add to the discussion, your comments would be much appreciated. Regards, Deyyaz [ Talk | Contribs ] 17:33, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
