[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Gregg_Kelly.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Gregg_Kelly.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, 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 files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 00:45, 23 January 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MECU≈talk 00:45, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

You should put everything you put on my talk page onto the image description page. This would provide the source and information about the copyright. We would need to use these images under fair use. Please read the instructions on that page and then use the Template:fair use license tag along with the fair use rationale. Thank you, and welcome to the confusing world of image licenses! --MECU≈talk 18:38, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
I've actually added a rationale, you can see what it should kind of look like, and how it responds to (some, if not all) of the criteria in the fair use policy. I changed the license to fairusein, because the other one was outdated. --MECU≈talk 19:30, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:NFL Chargers.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:NFL Chargers.gif. 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. 21:52, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Well, unfortunately, its the non-commercial use part that makes it non-permitted on Wikipedia. Wikipedia only allows images that allow derivative use and allow commercial use. That is why the helmets are not allowed. Also, you half to be conscious of how they are being used in an article. Images should contribute significantly to the subject of the article. Having random helmets thrown into the article does not provide significantly to the article. Now, having the player in the uniform would. Try reading through some of the following pages (there are many, many Wikipedia policy and guideline pages, its amazing how many I know of now): WP:IMAGE, WP:IUP, and WP:PIC. If you have any other questions, feel free to let me know. And thanks for wanting to contribute to Oklahoma related subjects. I've been working long and hard on several articles. I've got the University of Oklahoma and Oklahoma Sooners football up to good article status and hope to get them featured. Also, with the help of somebody else, we got the Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium article up to good article. I'd love to see more OU-related articles become high quality articles.↔NMajdan•talk 15:18, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Changes to 2007 OU roster

I see you are changing the 2007 roster. It is generally good practice to not create red links until the article has been created. Too many red links on a page is frowned upon. So, please do not create wikilinks to articles that do not yet exist.↔NMajdan•talk•Editor Review 21:19, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

I was using it to create place holders for future articles. I apologize. Desert sapper 21:21, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Hmmm.... ok. I see what you did. May want to brush up on WP:BIO in case any of these are nominated for deletion. For instance, Ryan Reynolds hasn't even played a down of collegiate football. If it goes up for AfD, it will definitely be deleted.↔NMajdan•talk•EditorReview 21:51, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

I suppose it just made sense to me to have a starting point for some of the articles I would like to work on. Ryan has played, not at the position he could be starting at this year, but he was a special teams contributor as a true freshman. At the very least, his high school career is worth mentioning, as he was a three time state judo champion and played in the Army All-American bowl on NBC. If it gets deleted, that would be unfortunate, but understandable. Desert sapper 22:04, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Glad you like it. I was hesitant about replacing yours with this one cause some people don't like others messing with their page. But, this one adds you to Category:WikiProject University of Oklahoma participants.↔NMajdan•talk 17:58, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your additions to the OU NC articles

I noticed your adding a table with a list of the OU NC teams to some articles. I believe that table would be best served as a template. So, rather than having all that code on every page you would having just something like {{OklaFootballNatlChamps}} and when OU wins another NC, instead of having to change it one 8 articles, you'd just change it in one place. Let me know if you need help with this or go here: Help:Template.↔NMajdan•talk 20:38, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. I wish I had known that before, but learning it really will help the next time I want to template something. What do you think? Did you see Oklahoma Sooners Starting Quarterbacks and Oklahoma Sooners National Championships?→Deser† sapper•≈talk 20:47, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
Another pointer, if you create an article that relates to OU, please tag the talk page so it will be added to WP:OU. To tag it, go to the articles' talk page and put {{WikiProject University of Oklahoma}} and if it relates to college football, also put {{WikiProject College football}}. See Talk:Oklahoma Sooners football for an example.↔NMajdan•talk 21:23, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
