Ok, assuming good faith I've unblocked the IP address though it has sent a lot of vandalism our way, do you happen to know where the IP address is, it might help us figure things out. If its a school, I hate to say it but we have a lot of schools on long term blocks as a lot of students are pretty bad for vandalism, anyways, please let me know if you have any problems -- Tawker 07:15, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Stamsried.gif. 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-self}} 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. BRossow 02:02, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] want to edit WGME TV antenna article
Hi there, In March you edited article WGME TV Tower to try and square Guinness World book and FCC data, writing "It is not clear whether the entry is referring to the current tower, or if something happened to the 1959 one - it is fairly common to rebuild collapsed TV towers to the same height."
I've lived near this antenna most my life and am pretty sure it's never been rebuilt. I have searched and can't figure out why the FCC site lists "built in 1975". I wonder if it had something to do with a new transmitter or FM mast or relicensing. Maybe I'll call the station, but wouldn't be surprised if they didn't know either. The station name change from WGAN ,(as the tower was originally known), to WGME came in 1983/84 so that doesn't explain it etiher. I welcome feedback. Cheers, --truthdowser 20:14, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] License tagging for Image:Nixon94.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Nixon94.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. 01:07, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
