[edit] Duplicate images uploaded

Thanks for uploading Image:Patrick McMullan.jpg. A machine-controlled robot account noticed that you also uploaded the same image under the name Image:Patrick mcmullan.jpg. The copy called Image:Patrick mcmullan.jpg has been marked for speedy deletion since it is redundant. If this sounds okay to you, there is no need for you to take any action.

This is an automated message- you have not upset or annoyed anyone, and you do not need to respond. In the future, you may save yourself some confusion if you supply a meaningful file name and refer to 'my contributions' to remind yourself exactly which name you chose (file names are case sensitive, including the extension) so that you won't lose track of your uploads. For tips on good file naming, see Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions about this notice, or feel that the deletion is inappropriate, please contact User:Staecker, who operates the robot account. Staeckerbot 20:30, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Copyright status of "Richard Cray"

Please do not post copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder, as you did to "Richard Cray". For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites (http://www.richardcray.com/cv.htm in this case) or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) then you should do one of the following:

  • If you have permission from the author leave a message explaining the details on the article Talk page and send an email with the message to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia (dot) org". See Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
  • If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted under the GFDL or released into the public domain leave a note at Talk:"Richard Cray" with a link to where we can find that note;
  • If you own the copyright to the material: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the GFDL, and note that you have done so on the article Talk page. Alternatively, you may create a note on your web page releasing the work under the GFDL and then leave a note at Talk:"Richard Cray" with a link to the details.

Otherwise, you are encouraged to rewrite this article in your own words to avoid any copyright infringement. After you do so, you should place a {{hangon}} tag on the article page and leave a note at Talk:"Richard Cray" saying you have done so. An administrator will review the new content before taking action.

It is also important that all Wikipedia articles have an encyclopedic tone and follow Wikipedia article layout. For more information on Wikipedia's policies, see Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If you want to edit constructively, take a look at the welcome page. Thank you. --Finngall talk 22:18, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Hi, you have to forward your email and the permission email to the OTRS staff at "permissions-en AT wikimedia DOT org". They will review them to make sure everything is in order and then they will leave a template on this page confirming the permission. I have blanked (but NOT deleted) the article pending the WP:CP procedure until permission is confirmed by OTRS. Thanks. -- But|seriously|folks  07:23, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Brett Leonard.png

Thanks for uploading Image:Brett Leonard.png. 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. --OrphanBot 10:09, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
