[edit] Images

Please be sure to include information on source and copyright status on any and all images you upload (I notice for example that Image:Teotihuacantemplesun1a.jpg is lacking such). Images without this information can be deleted from Wikipedia. Hope this helps, -- Infrogmation 20:49, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Picture

I'm pretty sure Image:SOS assaulting.jpg is an AP photo. If you are not the photographer you can not grant Wikipedia permission to use it. I'm going to tag it as {{PUI}}. If you care to dispute it, please do so on the talkpage. Thanks, --Rockero 06:02, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Actually you'll want to go here.--Rockero 06:10, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

I have noticed you have uploaded images with inaccurate descriptions. You have no rights to claim ownership of photos you neither took nor hold the copyright to. If you have made a mistake in the description of images you have uploaded, please understand the importance of correcting them right away. Deliberately putting false information is considered vandalism, for which you can be blocked from editing. Please pay prompt attention to this matter. -- Infrogmation 07:14, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright

Hi there, just now you uploaded Image:Kiowa stolenc.jpg, saying you took the image yourself. That picture also appears somewhere on the website of the Mexica Movement, so the claim is somewhat unlikely, and the fact that you also uploaded a screenshot from a 1940s Smithsonian movie and said you took it doesn't exactly boost your credibility. Sorry to say, but we can't take others' images, as the goal is to build a free encyclopedia. Please read Wikipedia:Copyright FAQ and do not upload more copyrighted images. Cheers!

[edit] A request

Hi Dropmeoff:

I've been following the discussion of "mestizo" and trying to contribute.

I have the distinct impression that some of the differences between you and Supaman89 are due to misunderstanding each other, more than to fundamental differences.

I respectfully ask that you consider this possibility.
