[edit] Wikimedia Commons

I noticed the NYC photos that you have uploaded. Thanks for uploading them. I'm not sure if you're familiar with Wikimedia Commons, which is a repository for images and other media files. Images can be uploaded there, where they can be categorized (e.g. New York, New York), and found more easily for use in Wikipedia (this English version, as well as other languages). When you upload images in the future, please consider uploading them to Commons instead of directly to Wikipedia so we can keep them organized better. Thanks. -Kmf164 (talk | contribs) 04:00, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Also, please keep in mind that all images uploaded to Commons must have a free license (GNU, Creative Commons, Public domain). The same is generally also true for Wikipedia, itself, with rare exceptions for fair use images. Photos taken by yourself meet these guidelines, however images taken from other websites are generally copyrighted and not allowed on Wikipedia. See Wikipedia:Copyrights for more details. Thanks. -Kmf164 (talk | contribs) 04:06, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 'Wall Street" photo

Hi. Regarding Image:Wallst.jpg, this photo is of Nassau street and Broad street. I have removed it from the Wall Street article. --ChrisRuvolo (t) 12:06, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Talk page etiquette

I noticed you deleted comments left by other users. Please check out the guidelines on Wikipedia:Talk_page. If you feel your talk page is getting too long, you may archive the talk page. However, you're generally not supposed to simply delete comments left by others, especially without responding to them. You can leave a response here on your talk page, as other editors will usually check back here and look for your response. See Help:Contents for information on other policies, guidelines, and other useful information. Thanks. -Kmf164 (talk | contribs) 19:08, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image use

Hi. I noticed some problems with some of the images you have uploaded and placed into articles. Let me outline the several issues.

  1. Images that you have not taken yourself require source information. For example, Image:Soltorch.jpg has information on its license, but it does not say where the image came from. Without this information, there is no way to verify that the license is correct. The original URL should be sufficient in most cases.
  2. Only images that are Works of the United States Government (federal government) are automaticly in the public domain. Images like Image:Libeskindwtc.jpg and Image:Memorialfountain.jpg are not made by the federal government. Please do not use the {{PD-USGov}} tag without merit.
  3. When you place images in articles, please do so without removing existing images from the article. You replaced images in Wall Street with Image:Wallst.jpg and in United States Air Force Academy with Image:Chapelclose.jpg. Removing existing images is unnecessary unless the previous image had some kind of problem.

I will be looking at the images you have uploaded to try to correct some of these problems. --ChrisRuvolo (t) 21:57, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Ellisisland.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Ellisisland.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. -SCEhardT 04:40, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Jeff3.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Jeff3.jpg. 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. 18:06, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Possibly unfree Image:World Trade Center Sphere in Battery Park.JPG

An image that you uploaded or altered, Image:World Trade Center Sphere in Battery Park.JPG, has been listed at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree images. If the image's copyright status cannot be verified, it may be deleted. Please go to its page to provide the necessary information on the source or licensing of this image (if you have any), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

[edit] Image:Columbuscirclenight.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Columbuscirclenight.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ccwaters 17:03, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
