[edit] License tagging for Image:JamesMasayoshi.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:JamesMasayoshi.jpg. Wikipedia gets hundreds 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.

[edit] Your recent edit to Protest Warrior
I removed the following paragarph that you had added to the Protest Warrior article:
However, discussion of future campaigns may be moot. The current status of the group has been called into speculation due its declining public presence. Regular news updates on the website ceased in late 2004, followed by the sudden closure of the discussion forums several months later. As of November 12, 2006, the entire website itself is unreachable. Additionally, according to Google News, Protest Warrior has not been mentioned in any of 4,500 news sources during the months of October and November 2006. This is despite a run-up to a very contentious mid-term election and increasing debate about the war in Iraq, with frequent public demonstrations from both sides of the political spectrum.
I noticed your that edits' summary stated, "Current status of Protest Warrior is unknown. Please cite current references if you remove this paragraph," and I wanted give you the courtesy of an explanation for its removal. Your edit doesn't have any citations of reliable sources supporting it and it contains opinions and conclusions that appear to be original research. So unfortunately, regardless of its factual accuracy, your edit is not allowable under wikipedia policy. If you can cite some reliable source that states the same thing you did, it should be fine for inclusion. Respectfully, Lawyer2b 02:45, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
- In my opinion, the entire "Current status, Future operations" section is a bad mixture of improperly used primary sources, original research, disallowed external links (specifically, links to search engine results), and irrelevant secondary sources. The entire section should be removed, and if the the page wasn't protected, I would have removed it myself already. Crockspot 19:26, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
