[edit] Welcome!

This is very late I'm afraid, and you'll already know all the above — but better a late welcome than no welcome at all (I hope). --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 7 July 2005 21:35 (UTC)

Hi -- I just marked Image:10528-18lax.jpg for deletion. Images with "non-commercial use" licenses can't be used in Wikipedia because restrictions on commercial use are GFDL-incompatiable (please see the image page for details.) jdb ❋ (talk) 8 July 2005 23:39 (UTC)

[edit] Images

Hello Robert,

I've just come across one of your images that is untagged. I'm sure it is just an older upload that got overlooked - could you add an appropriate copyright tag.

I see you have uploaded a number of other interesting images, such as Image:51454sweden.jpg. However, it would be better if they had more descriptive file names and had their borders removed. The image description page is the prefered place for descriptions and source links. There is more advice at Wikipedia:Image use policy. -- Solipsist 08:04, 30 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Gettysburg

In case you're not reading the edit summaries, please stop putting that picture into the Gettysburg articles:

1. It is completely inappropriate to have pictures with names and websites displayed in them.
2. The picture is practically worthless--a modern road and an unreadable sign. It does not meet the style standards of an encyclopedia article.

Thank you for your cooperation. Hal Jespersen 21:51, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image Tagging Image:Moritzryssby.jpg

This image may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Moritzryssby.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 believe the image qualifies as fair use, please read 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 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. --OrphanBot 11:42, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Winter War

So strange when one is editing and finds things already fixed (in "Show Changes" display). No edits on Winter War for days and then we were _both_ editing at the same time. :-) Shenme 23:44, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Ussaugusta-80-g-466398.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Ussaugusta-80-g-466398.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}}.

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. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Thank you. Dethomas 20:53, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] External links

Please do not add commercial links (or links to your own private websites) to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or a mere collection of external links. You are, however, encouraged to add content instead of links to the encyclopedia. See the welcome page to learn more. Thanks. -- Mwanner | Talk 23:48, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Are you Robert Swanson?

Hi. Could you please state here on your page that you are Robert Swanson? Otherwise, your images with "Source: Robert Swanson" will eventually be deleted as copyrigh violations, unless you can show that Robert Swanson releases all his images on his website under GFDL.

Thanks, Fred-Chess 08:31, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] External links

Please stop. If you continue to use Wikipedia for advertising, you will be blocked from editing. Mwanner | Talk 13:00, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Spam in Lacrosse

This is your last warning. The next time you insert a spam link, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Mwanner | Talk 18:06, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
