[edit] License tagging for Image:Chateau Billy.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Chateau Billy.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands 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.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 14:05, 11 September 2006 (UTC)


  • I saw your comment on this image. If this is a photo you took, you should label it with one of the tags listed at Wikipedia:Image_copyright_tags#For_image_creators. Simply edit the image page and replace the notice of no copyright with the tag {{GFDL-self}} or {{pd-self}} or one of the other choices if you prefer. I have fixed this one for you.
