[edit] License tagging for Image:DaB.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:DaB.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. 17:05, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:SeasickSteve.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:SeasickSteve.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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 Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Chowbok ☠ 01:53, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

I'm not an admin, so when or if the image is deleted is not up to me. If it does get deleted, absolutely you can re-upload it when you get the permission. —Chowbok ☠ 19:50, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi, in case you don't have Image:SeasickSteve.jpg on your watchlist, I've responded at Image talk:SeasickSteve.jpg about how to proceed. I've taken the speedy tag off for the moment, pending a response from the photographer. —Angr 14:27, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
P.S. The same goes for your friend who is the photographer of Image:WomadFlags.jpg. She has to agree to its being used for any purpose--including commercial reuse!--for it to be used at Wikipedia. If she could agree to one of the Creative Commons licenses I mentioned at Image talk:SeasickSteve.jpg, that would be great. —Angr 14:34, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Northwich

You have to be an admin to protect pages. Note that simply adding the {{protected}} tag does not work. See WP:RPP if you want top make a request to get the article protected.  YDAM TALK 20:40, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, i don't know that, thanks for telling me.JimHxn 11:51, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
The same kind of linkspammers are currently altering many pages concerning Cheshire-related things. It seems like we have to put up with them, until it gets intense enough to trigger some kind of threshold for pages to be semi-protected. I hope this helps.  DDStretch  (talk) 17:37, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Possible project or sub-project dealing with Cheshire

Hello, it is me again. I've noticed that you've been active in trying to combat vandalism of a Cheshire town's entry. Although your work on Wikipedia is, as I can see, mostly concerned with music, I wondered if you would be at all interested in a (sub-)project I've proposed? I've listed a proposed project concerning Cheshire on Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals. I think it can easily co-exist with Wikipedia:WikiProject UK geography. If you are interested in contributing to this proposed project, even in just making small contributions at this time, please add your name to list at the appropriate place. You can have a broader discussion about it here. Many thanks.  DDStretch  (talk) 17:37, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New project concerned with Cheshire

Thanks for showing an interest in a new project about all things concerning Cheshire. I've set up a project page, and its associated talk now, which you can see here. It would be really good if you were able to join the project by adding your name to the project page, and adding the project page to your watchlist. Please feel free to contribute to setting up the project page for example, by joining in or creating discussions you can find on the talk page. Looking forward to seeing you there.  DDStretch  (talk) 12:51, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi, it's been two months and there's still no word on a free license for Image:SeasickSteve.jpg so I've retagged it for deletion as a replaceable fair-use image. —Angr 13:45, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] H

In response to your edit of User:Gregh, asking if the h stands for Hilton, you are correct. I attended Weaverham High School. How did you find my username on here and how did you know of me? Gregh 15:37, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

I'm Jim Hickson, i'm in year 11 now...but i have no idea how i stumbled across your user area.....straaaange. I know you just cos i do, you're like the master of sports, becky diamonds boyfriend...how the hell do i know all this?! Rick Lloyd talks about you often maybe thats where... JimHxn 16:32, 9 February 2007 (UTC) Retrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Gregh"

I don't recognise the name "Jim Hickson", but I would probably recognise your face. Yeah I'm Becky's boyfriend (still, haha). Who's Rick Lloyd? Do you mean Richard, or...? As for master of sports, mhmm, strange. I was pretty good at athletics but I certainly didn't care for sports. I'm more academic than that. Where have you got that idea from? If its easier to talk to me on MSN messenger rather than me keep ruining your wikipedia page then add me at gregthegod@hotmail.com Gregh 11:47, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
Well i dunno i just pieced info from different places, although i'm pretty sure you were the computer geek? Richard Lloyd fat one, glasses, extremly violent, especially when it comes to rugby. And nah, i didn't really know you, there's no point, don't mind you writin on here. JimHxn 14:15, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
Yeah I was the "computer geek", though not so unsociable as the title 'geek' suggests. I seemed to be one of the first to introduce proxy servers which apparently hadn't happened before at Weaverham, so that got me a bollocking. And yeah, I know Richard Lloyd. So are you a 'computer geek'? Not many computer-illiterate people frequent wikipedia. Also, how are the GCSEs? You very intelligent or...? Predicted grades? Gregh 15:05, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Cheap.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Cheap.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages 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 fair use images lacking such an explanation 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 Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Tellyaddict 17:30, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
