[edit] License tagging for Image:Cabrini.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Cabrini.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:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 02:05, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Cabrini College

Nice work so far!

About the vandals: don't worry about them too much. Any harm they do always gets reverted within one or two days. Look around the history files to see.

If you'd like any help with particular sections, I'll see what I can do. Just click over to my talk page to leave a message. User: Robbie314 (talk) (contribs)

[edit] Rejected request

Hi, I rejected your request to Wikipedia:Abuse reports. As the page states, it's only intended to report persistent vandals for further investigation and followup with ISPs. Given limited resources only cases where there is clearly a need will be followed up. Specifically, as the page mentions, 5 blocks minimum are needed. The user was blocked for the vandalism you were complaining about but that's all (Special:Log/block&page=User:192.204.30.5. 2 cases of vandalism, even if disgusting don't even come close qualitying. Indeed, I doubt such a thing would be followed up even if we had unlimited resources. (User had a total of 6 edits Special:Contributions/192.204.30.5.)

Normal practice for dealing with vandals is to warn, with an appropriate template and once a user has had an strong enough warning, to ask for block at Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. This is outlined in Wikipedia:Vandalism. In cases when sufficiently offensive vandalism is added, admins may block even without warnings at their discretion. Nil Einne 17:06, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Cabrinilogo.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Cabrinilogo.gif. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Fritz Saalfeld (Talk) 18:31, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
