[edit] Image:HenrySTaylor.jpg

Hi, you asked for help in determining the copyright status of Image:HenrySTaylor.jpg. The problem is that because Wikipedia is a free content encyclopedia, we have very strict restrictions on the use of copyrighted material. One of these restrictions is that copyrighted images of living people are almost never allowed, because it's easy enough for someone to take a picture of the person and release it under a free license (public domain or copyleft). Therefore, the image has been deleted. There are a variety of ways to acquire a free image to replace it, though. According to the article Henry S. Taylor, he's a professor at American University. If you're a student there, it should be easy enough to meet him and ask to take his picture. If you aren't, there are bound to be other Wikipedians who are students there; maybe you could ask at Talk:American University. The usual way of requesting a free image is to put the template {{Reqfreephoto}} on the talk page of the article. You can also put {{reqphotoin|Washington, D.C.}} to bring it to the attention of people in Washington, DC. —Angr 12:18, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] obama edit

Sorry - I saw your note on my talk page the other day and meant to check out what you were asking, but totally forgot. I'm actually not sure what you mean by losing the history - if you could elaborate, I'll be happy to try to explain. Tvoz | talk 03:13, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bill James

Putting the book back is with that caveat seems fine. Thanks for asking my opinion.--Djrobgordon 16:38, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Alright, my take is this: we shouldn't be deciding notability is this context. If you can find some independant third party coverage of the book that backs up what was claimed about it, then fine. My cursory search did not ... WilyD 17:56, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

  • Self published books are generically not a reliable source. Unless a third party has published some coverage about the book and its criticism and yadda yadda then it's simply not noteworthy. It's basically a blog in print form - and that's a generic No excluding very mitigating circumstances. If this book is relevent, you'll be able to find third party coverage - I didn't find any, though. WilyD 20:54, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Dadheadshot.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Dadheadshot.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self-no-disclaimers}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, 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 files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 01:28, 21 March 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. User:Gay Cdn (talk) (Contr) 01:28, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Hey, basically looking for your opinion on this since we've been pulling alot of weight over the last few days. The contributions I've made in the QC Duration section: O/R or not? I'm holding off on adding any more to that section before I get confirmation that it won't be considered O/R.
