[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:R Bush.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:R Bush.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. ×Meegs 00:11, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

Please stop placing the Reggie Bush image, it's a copyvio and misuse of template, the sports poster template is only for sporting events not players, thanks Jaranda wat's sup 00:17, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright tags

Hello. It has been several days since your last edit, but I would like to caution you about uploading unsuitable copyrighted images, and repeatedly tagging them with inappropriate fair use templates. In this case, note that {{sportsposter}} presents a fair use rationale for the use of promotional posters for sporting events, and {{promotional}} for publicity photos from press kits. Also, in general, it is a good idea to communicate with other editors on talk pages rather then engaging in edit wars.

I'd also like to ask you about Image:Newsheastadium.jpg, Image:Newyankeestadium.jpg. You have indicated that they are both released under the GFDL, but I see nothing on the source web pages to indicate that this is the case. Could you please add the reason you believe this to be the case to the image description pages, or replace the image copyright tags? Thanks. ×Meegs 07:33, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re:Reggie Bush Image

The Regie Bush image is deffintly a promotinal image. If you think not plese contact me. Thanks. Ric36 14:27, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

You have not provided information on the original source and copyright holder of the image. As such, you must not remove the {{no source}} template. I am the fourth editor whose edits you have reversed on this image's description page.
Do not remove the tag, or my explanation again until you have provided information on the image's copyright holder, as well as an argument that it meets the definition at Wikipedia:Publicity photos. The source you provided, http://www.reggiebushjr.com/, says "This Reggie Bush web site is in no way affiliated with Reggie Bush Jr". This does not back-up the claim that this image is promotional. Additionally, that site very likely does not own the rights to the images it displays. In order to use the image under the {{Promotional}} rationale, we must know the original source and copyright holder, and know that they have released this image in a press kit, or similar. ×Meegs 14:51, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
Can you help me find the correct license please before it gets deleted? Ric36 14:59, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
I don't know where to begin; unless we know the copyright holder, there is absolutely nothing we can do. If the image comes from a press service, like the Associated Press (as Image:Mariowilliams.jpg almost certainly does), then it is completely unsuitable for our purposes. Remember that we are a free content encyclopedia, and we do not go to great lengths or take legal risks to include copyrighted images. If the article is left without an image for a little while, I am confident that someone will provide a free image after not too long. Maybe you can help speed the process: take a look around the internet and see if you can find an amateur photograph of Bush, and ask the owner if they will release the image under a free license, compatible with Wikipedia, such as Creative Commons BY-SA. That's the best advice I can give you. ×Meegs 15:14, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Can you maybe help find one for me? You probally know a lot more about lincences then me. Ric36 15:18, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Well, with regard to free images, there's not too much to know. We need an author who will permit reuse of their photograph (without educational or non-commercial caveats), as well as derivative works (e.g. edited versions or inclusion in collages). Photographers that work for large corporations, like the AP, Getty Images, or Sports Illustrated, do not personally own the rights to photographs they take at work, and their employers are very unlikely to release such images. Nevertheless, Bush has been attending school and playing in public weekly for several years, so there are no-doubt numerous amateur photographers with images of him. My advice is to find one and ask them to release their work under Creative Commons by-sa. 15:28, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hey ya

Sorry, i have a username change. at Wikipedia:Changing usernames I changed from Whopper to User:Dure. Also Dure on IRC. Cheers! Dure

[edit] You are not a Star Wars Userbox

No offence, but you should check your category section of your user page. It says Star Wars Userboxes. I suggest you remove it because your userpage is not a userbox template. Please remove it. If I am mistaken, feel free to contact me via talk to correct me. Weirdy 22:00, 17 June 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Image:Newsheastadium.jpg listed for deletion

An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:Newsheastadium.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please look there to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in its not being deleted. Thank you. —ccwaters 14:58, 14 November 2006 (UTC) ccwaters 14:58, 14 November 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Czechoslovakia

There may well be a case for redirecting Czechoslovakia to Czechoslovakia (disambiguation), but certainly not before all the links to Czechoslovakia are changed to point somewhere else (Republic of Czechoslovakia most likely). Best regards, Angus McLellan (Talk) 16:31, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

OK, thanks for telling me that. Ric36 16:35, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Welcome. You can probably get it done by a bot. Not sure how you'd need to ask about that though; you could try asking at Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links. Best of luck! Angus McLellan (Talk) 16:46, 9 December 2006 (UTC)


Get what done by a bot? I'm not sure if I understand. Ric36 16:48, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
Have [[Czechoslovakia]] changed to [[Republic of Czechoslovakia|Czechoslovakia]] in all articles. There's no particular necessity to do it, so please forget I mentioned it. Angus McLellan (Talk) 16:54, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Astro vandal

Hi. This may sound like a nitpick, but while I believe that person should be blocked, the most appropriate warnings are the POV templates, and you should almost always start at the lowest level. In this case it's a moot point. Xiner (talk, email) 20:52, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Can you please help me? Ric36 20:57, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
