[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:YBTL.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:YBTL.gif. 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. Admrboltz (T | C) 16:23, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:MtIsaairport.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:MtIsaairport.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. 12:05, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image warning

Works of the Government of Australia, like Image:TC Tessi.jpg, are under crown copyright. Do not upload them under false tags, or you may be blocked. The image in question has been tagged for deletion. – Chacor 06:55, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Suburbs

Hi Gertzy,

What do you think of Template:Suburbs of Townsville/Thuringowa as a template? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by WikiTownsvillian 04:33, 17 December 2006 (UTC).

Hi WikiTownsvillian. I had a look at the template and i think that it is great, definetly something that should be used on the Townsville pages. Cheers -- Gertzy 30th of December, 2006: 13:10 (UTC).
Thanks for the feedback Gertzy, will start to get into in upon my return to Townsville, Happy New Year! WikiTownsvillian 07:35, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism

That's cool, it was pretty silly and very immature vandalism, I actually figured it was a little kid doing it, but just goes to show there are big children out there too. Keep up the good work. WikiTownsvillian 16:45, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] cultural issue

Hi Gertzy. I don't know if you have much experience in Indigenous issues (I know a vast majority of Australians are not very culturally competent through no fault of their own) but if you have any cultural experience or training could you please help me out at Wikipedia:Village_pump_(policy)#Cultural_Sensitivity_vs_Accuracy.2FClarity Policy Village pump. Thanks, WikiTownsvillian 15:08, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome back

Welcome back, hope the year's going well for you. WikiTownsvillian 13:31, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Wow grade 12, big year for you. Well good luck with it and look forward to when you have more time next year when you're at uni {bludge in comparison :)} WikiTownsvillian 14:14, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free image (Image:Logo Townsvillecitycouncil.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Logo Townsvillecitycouncil.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 02:47, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Logostrand.gif

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Logostrand.gif. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages 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 non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. PxMa 23:46, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
