[edit] License tagging for Image:Anne bray.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Anne bray.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. 00:04, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Freewaves
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We appreciate your creation of the article, LA Freewaves, but we cannot accept copyrighted text borrowed from other web sites or printed material. Please see Wikipedia:Copyright problems for more information on this topic, or generally, Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines. Please do not remove the copyright violation notice placed in the article or repost the suspected infringing text. However, if you would like to rewrite the article in your own words, follow the link in the posted notice to create a temporary subpage. If your new article is appropriate, and not a further copyright violation, the reviewing administrator will move that new article into place once the copyright status of the original has been resolved. Happy editing! Kungfu Adam (talk) 19:15, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] LA Freewaves: a fixup solution
I noticed that your aticle has been tagged as an advertisement. I decided to read the article as it was prior to the tagging, and yes, I see Kungfuadam's point. The first section of the article sounds like a history as given in a pamphlet, or something like that, while the Festivals section does seem like it advertises the individual festivals, rather than providing a brief history of them. However, this situation can be changed, with a simple rewriting of the article. If you wish, I'll assist you here. As I see it, the article should be like this (note that this only demonstrates how the article should be structured; as long as you roughly keep to it, you'll be fine):
''LA Freewaves'' is a [[Los Angeles]] [[media arts]] and [[new media]] program. It was founded in 1989 by Anne Bray. etc etc... == Freewaves-administered Festivals == === Festival name === Give the year(s) of the festival, what it demonstrated, and its history. Keep it brief! == References ==
I also strongly suggest you try and forget much of what the site says, and keep solely with the facts. This, I admit, may take some time. When you've written the article, submit it immediately to Peer review, and let them instruct you further. This may prevent you from making any previous mistakes. The copyright infringement, however, may be harder to sort out. The article rewriting may solve part of it, however, you might need to put a written permission note up indicating that the information garnered has been made available to you under fair use; I'm not sure. --JB Adder | Talk 16:49, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
- You have done a great job on the article so far. I've looked back through it, and noticed that there is no indication of the references you have used. That's okay; however, if there are specific statements that have been taken from certain sites, then link the reference points from which they came. This can be done using two tags: <ref> and <references>. A full explanation of how to use these tags is given at Wikipedia:Footnotes; they can explain it better than I ever could. --JB Adder | Talk 06:18, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal/Cases/2006-07-28 LA Freewaves
The abovenamed case page explains, at the bottom, how to have LA Freewaves send permission to Wikimedia in order to use its copyrighted text and images on the encyclopedia. If you're still interested in doing this (we haven't seen any page activity) please let us know so that we may close the case. Thank you! ~Kylu (u|t) 17:35, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
