[edit] Image Tagging Image:Sindi-Watts Marisa-Warrington-2002.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Sindi-Watts Marisa-Warrington-2002.jpg. I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag, so its copyright status is therefore unclear. Please add a tag to let us know its copyright status. (If you created/took the picture then you can use {{gfdl}} to release it under the GFDL. If you can claim fair use use {{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 tagged them, too. Note that any unsourced and untagged imaged will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thanks so much. --Sherool 00:27, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] About image tagging
Hi again. Thanks for tagging your images, I suspect however you have misunderstood how copyrights work. Some of the images you have uploaded looks very much like screenshots from a TV series or movie. These are copyrighted and even if you "take" the picture you can't release it under {{GFDL-self}} unless you actualy own the copyrights for the movie or tv-series the frame is copied from. Such images can still be used, but under fair use, not GFDL. If you actualy do own the copyright for those images then my apologies, but if you do then you need to provide a bit more "proof" on the image description page, in fact the more information you provide on the image the better (regardles of it's copyright status), there are a lot of poorly in incorectly tagged images (tens of thousands) on the Wikipedia and a lot of then can in a worst case scenario lead to a lawsuit again the Wikimedia foundation (quite unlikely, but the risk is there), so the less information you provide on the source and status of your images the more likely it is that will eventualy be deleted "just in case". It's a pain in the neck I know, but it needs to be done. Thanks again. --Sherool 18:37, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Adding images to articles
When adding images into an article, don't forgot to add the thumb syntax. For example:
[[Image:Test.jpg|thumb|right|This is the caption of the image.]] instead of just [[Image:Test.jpg]]

[edit] Image:Lori-Lee Michelle-Ang-2002-2003.jpg has been listed as a possibly unfree image

- Why did you delete the templates from this image? Your edit summary was "del" — did you want the image deleted? --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 13:02, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Blocked for copyright fraud
You uploaded the image Image:David-Bishop Kevin-Harrington-2003.jpg (since deleted), a screenshot from a television series, claiming to be the creator of the image and claiming to release it under GFDL. These claims are false on their face. You have therefore been blocked for 72 hours for copyright fraud. If you do this again, you will be blocked permanently. Kelly Martin 14:42, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] external links to your website
Please do not mass-add links to your website to Wikipedia. This practice is frowned-upon, and is often considered spamming. I have kept your links and images (reformatted, per Wikipedia style) where useful, but deleted your changes where I feel they were harmful to the pages concerned. Please do not re-add your links, and please do not attempt to mass-add links to Wikipedia again. If you do so, you will be blocked (again). --fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 18:17, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Images
[edit] Missing source information
The following images
- Image:Helen-Daniels.jpg
- Image:Oscar-Scully Ingo-Dammer-Smith-2004.jpg
are missing source and proper licensing information. You cannot release content you do not own under the GFDL, and I strongly believe you do not own these images. Please be aware that Wikipedia takes a very firm line in dealing with copyright infringing material, as the Wikimedia Foundation cannot afford any legal hassle arising from such.
These images have now been tagged as having no source information, and removed from any articles they are used in, per policies. Please be advised that these images will be deleted in 7 days as part of our criteria for speedy deletion.
[edit] Image:Pa'u Zotoh Zhaan.jpg
I'm sorry, but Image:Pa'u Zotoh Zhaan.jpg does not qualify as a screenshot for the purposes of United States fair use law.
[edit] Fair use rationale needed
Please provide fair use rationale for the following images:
- Image:Michelle-Ang-2002-2003.jpg
- Image:Joe-Mangel Mark-Little -1988-1991.jpg
- Image:Karl-Kennedy Alan-Fletcher-1994.jpg
- Image:Connor-O'Neill Patrick-Harvey.jpg
- Image:Sindi Watts Marisa Warrington.jpg
- Image:Janelle-Timmins Nell-Feeney-2005.jpg
- Image:Terence Donovan.jpg
- Image:Paul-Robinson Stefan-Dennis-1985-1993-2005.jpg
- Image:Carla-Bonner.jpg
- Image:Stephanie-Scully Carla-Bonner-1999.jpg
- Image:Lance-Wilkinson Andrew-Bibby.jpg
- Image:Izzy-natalie basinthwaighte.jpg
- Image:Lyn-Scully Janet-Andrewartha.jpg
- Image:Joel-Samuels Daniel-MacPherson.jpg
- Image:CHERYL STARK Caroline Gillmer.jpg
- Image:Cheryl-Stark Colette-Mann.jpg
You should be aware that if a rationale is not provided correctly, then the fair use will not be valid, and the images will need to be deleted.
[edit] Suggestion
Might I suggest you review
and avoid uploading any further images until you understand our policies on this clearly? Thank you. Rob Church Talk | FAD 21:06, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Cathy-1993.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Cathy-1993.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. --OrphanBot 09:09, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Image Tagging Image:Philip Martin Christopher Milne, Ian Rawlings-1992-1999.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Philip Martin Christopher Milne, Ian Rawlings-1992-1999.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media 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 media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media 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 media, 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. Longhair 11:46, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
