[edit] Image Tagging Image:FergieP.jpg
|
Thanks for uploading Image:FergieP.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. Thank you. KWH 05:16, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Joe Houston
Good enough; thanks. I'll see if the article develops before I consider AfD. Joe 04:57, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
- You're doing good work to improve the article, but you may want to consider consolidating sundry edits in order that you don't make 23 to one article in 40 minutes, especially when each is marked minor (some users who follow pages on their watchlists look with disfavor on such edits).

[edit] Featured articles
Hi! Just so you know, articles are only featured after being listed on Wikipedia:Featured article candidates and being reviewed for quality. Hope that helps! Kirill Lokshin 02:01, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Mclyte.jpg
