[edit] License tagging for Image:Otennisvolleyball.GIF

Thanks for uploading Image:Otennisvolleyball.GIF. Wikipedia gets hundreds 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. 23:07, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] From Talk:Controversy over racial characteristics of Ancient Egyptians

I'm still waiting to hear the reasons for the hack job you did on the above-referenced article. You deleted chunks of material wholesale without any meaningful edit notes. This is from the article talk page -- lest you overlook it:

Deeceevoice, sorry if I'm mistaken or if this sounds rude; but you're edits to the article seem to be with the intent of making something that people will read and think, "Hey those Egpytians were black." That's unverifiable propaganda.

If you have any other questions, I'll try to answer them. But I'll probably be spending less time on Wikipedia in general now that school is starting.Altarbo 21:08, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

No, your post doesn't sound rude; it sounds simply ill-informed/wrong-headed. I thought the purpose of dividing the article into two, separate sections (the Eurocentric view and the Afrocentric view) was to allow the full presentation of evidence/arguments supporting each side, each in its place. There is/was virtually nothing under the Eurocentrist section -- but that's not my problem/interest. My interest was/is to state the Afrocentrist view -- and with supporting evidence, documentation. It was not "unverifiable propaganda." I provided quotes and sources. So, exactly what's the problem with the information I included -- and which you did a hack job on, completely deleting most of it, along with the photos of black African-looking artifacts? And if I included "unverifiable propaganda," I'd like to know precisely what passages those were. And be specific. deeceevoice 15:27, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

You've come up with nothing -- no examples (general or specific), of "unverifiable propaganda." In fact, I've had no response at all. The information has been reinserted. deeceevoice 11:43, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Colecovisionad.PNG)

Thanks for uploading Image:Colecovisionad.PNG. 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.
