[edit] Library Image
Hi Matt605, I wanted to let you know to drop by Loyola Talk Page for an explanation regarding crediting/licensing images. Regards, --Riurik 05:11, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

- Here is the link - Wikipedia:Image use policy. The relevant section:
-
- User-created images
-
- "...Also, user-created images may not be watermarked, distorted, have any credits in the image itself or anything else that would hamper their free use, unless, of course, the image is intended to demonstrate watermarking, distortion etc. and is used in the related article. All photo credit should be in a summary on the image description page."
-
- Image:Loyola_nola_monroe_library.JPG is credited to you on the image description page.--Riurik 16:17, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] License tagging for Image:Freeh.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Freeh.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:

- The image was tagged as owned by the publisher of "The Pizza Connection" or by "Attorney Louis Freeh" who supplied the photograph to the publisher. So even thought the image was used in the book, it is credited on the title page of the book as having been provided by Freeh to the publisher. I don't know if "provided" means the same thing as identical. Either way, the use of the image is fair use because it is of a famous person. Anyway, it's long gone now.
[edit] Your recent edits to American Civil War
Your recent contribution(s) to the Wikipedia article American Civil War are very much appreciated. However, you did not provide references or sources for your information. Keeping Wikipedia accurate and verifiable is very important, and as you might be aware there is currently a drive to improve the quality of Wikipedia by encouraging editors to cite the sources they used when adding content. If sources are left unreferenced, it may count as original research, which is not allowed. Can you provide in the article specific references to any books, articles, websites or other reliable sources that will allow people to verify the content in the article? You can use a citation method listed at How to cite sources. Thanks! Accurizer 00:34, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
