[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Wahlstatt.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Wahlstatt.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. Thank you. Admrb♉ltz (T | C) 22:55, 22 January 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Image Tagging Image:Calfa.jpg

Warning sign
This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Calfa.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL-self}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read 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, please check 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. Thank you. Shyam (T/C) 22:34, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi Sapfan! Recently, I created a new template to indicate English Wikipedia users who also contribute to the Czech Wikipedia.

Template:User wikics

Feel free to add it to your userboxes if you like it (and if you actually contribute). Happy Easter. Daniel Šebesta (talk • contribs) 22:35, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rail bridge in Belize

Thanks for adding a picture to Rail transport in Belize! It was missing for a long time. Just a small doubt - is this really a former railroad bridge? On the first glance, it seems rather broad (wide) for a narrow-gauge banana railroad. It would also help if you could specify the exact location (e.g., across which river) - especially if you are still in Belize. Otherwise, thanks for the contribution - and we are looking for more!

I was going back to Belmopan along the Hummingbird Highway the second time when I remembered the upcoming bridge. It is one of the widest and most spectacular bridges along the road - therefore I simply assumed that it may have been a former railroad bridge. My expertise in this field is nonexistent, so my assumptions may be wrong. Unfortunately I have left Belize, and neither can recall the exact location of the river. But I will double check the map and Google Earth's images - if my memory serves me correctly (this was only a day ago), it must have been the longest river crossing. I will have many more Belize related contributions. Check out the recent photo addition of the spectacular Big Rock Falls! -asmadeus 23:18, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
