[edit] License tagging for Image:BrodieRenfroe2.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:BrodieRenfroe2.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands 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. 22:19, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Adding signature to articles

Thank you for your edits to wikipedia. It is not custumary to sign your user name in the actual article content, since articles are worked on collaboratively and are not credited to individual editors, even if at a given point you are the only editor. This is why I removed your signatures on the articles. However, comments on talk pages should be signed. Thanks for your understanding. Nrets 19:25, 15 July 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:BrodieRenfroe2.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:BrodieRenfroe2.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, or ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BrownCow • (how now?) 16:29, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
