[edit] Image Tagging Image:000 0508.jpg

Warning sign
This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:000 0508.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. 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 qualifies as fair use, consider reading 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, consider checking 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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Image legality questions page. Thank you. Nv8200p talk 04:34, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:St_Mike's.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:St_Mike's.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:000 0508.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:000 0508.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. Kotepho 15:29, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Hmm. Same goes for Image:000 0516.jpg, but you tagged a duplicate of 000 0508.JPG as a CC, is that the case with these other photos as well? Kotepho 15:31, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:K022107AU.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:K022107AU.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. 16:07, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Empress of the French

Please stop interfering with the succession boxes for the French Empresses. Succession boxes are laid out sequentially from one person in the general role to the next person (i.e. one monarch to another, one consort to another). Henry VIII's succession box doesn't skip from him to James I, does it? Nor do we make up unused titles (have you ever heard the term 'royal consort of the French head of state' used?). Michael Sanders 11:26, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

It doesn't. The average viewer wants to know who the previous and next consort was, not who was the last and next holder of a particular title. Now, we could use your innovation of 'consort to the head of state' - except we are not allowed to make up titles. So we use the sequential system, and assume that the reader will be capable of clicking along until he or she finds the next 'Empress of the French' - or s/he can click the link on the title and look it up on List of Queens and Empresses of France. Michael Sanders 11:30, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
The 'Empress consort of India' (i.e. consort of India) ceased to exist. Not the same at all. Michael Sanders 11:34, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
Because legally, the monarch of Great Britain wasn't sovereign over the state of India until Queen Victoria. The title 'Empress of the French' is the place-holder for 'consort of France' - but we quite specifically do not make up titles. So 'consort of the French head of state' is out. The 'Empress of the French' was in de facto terms the same as the 'Queen of the French', who was in de facto terms the same as the 'Queen of France and Navarre'. That's why they all have the same page. That's how we do things here. If you don't like it, try to change the roots of the system, don't meddle with the products which are by the rules correct. Michael Sanders 11:41, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
Succession boxes are used to illustrate to the reader the passage of authority in the state, not the history of a particular title. Thus, Napoleon is succeeded as head of state by Louis XVIII, not by himself. And, I repeat, we don't use phony titles. See Wikipedia:WikiProject Succession Box Standardization, and find evidence that 'consort of the French head of state' is ever used. Until then, stop interfering with the boxes.
