[edit] Image:11.IranicLangs.GIF listed for deletion

Dear uploader: The media file you uploaded as Image:11.IranicLangs.GIF has been listed for speedy deletion because you selected a copyright license type implying some type of restricted use, such as for non-commercial use only, or for educational use only or for use on Wikipedia by permission. While it might seem reasonable to assume that such files can be freely used on Wikipedia, a non-profit website, this is in fact not the case. Please do not upload any more files with these restrictions on them, because content on Wikipedia needs to be compatible with the GNU Free Documentation License, which allows anyone to use it for any purpose, commercial or non-commercial.

If you created this media file and want to use it on Wikipedia, you may re-upload it (or amend the image description if it has not yet been deleted) and use the license {{GFDL-self-no-disclaimers}} to license it under the GFDL, or {{cc-by-sa-2.5}} to license it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license, or use {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain.

If you did not create this media file but want to use it on Wikipedia, there are two ways to proceed. First, you may choose one of the fair use tags from this list if you believe one of those fair use rationales applies to this file. Second, you may want to contact the copyright holder and request that they make the media available under a free license.

If you have any questions please ask at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you. —Pilotguy cleared for takeoff 23:47, 7 April 2007 (UTC)


""Odd! The map is my own. Read the copyright underneath it. What other kinds of permission do you require beyond that of the author himself? M. Izady?"

[edit] License tagging for Image:MidEastReligionCore.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:MidEastReligionCore.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. 07:08, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

"I see. So, the correction to your blatant errors by a former Harvard professor is considered "vandalism" but your pithless pseudo-information is not! Congratulations to Wikipedia for its standards! M. Izady"

[edit] Moved from AIV

This may not be the right place to report this, but I have spent nearly an hour trying to find the 'right place' to contact a Wiki editor. Someone has used my IP to post an inflamatory "correction" to an article on the Iraqi Mass Graves. I am the author of many books and articles on the plight of the Kurds and the Shiites, and would be the last person to justify their murder and torment--as the "correction" to the article has done. As a result, you have slated ME as a "vandal." That is a double jeopardy. Please remove those "correction" and my IP as the source. It is insulting and defamatory, never mind inaccurate.

What is your IP? You may wish to e-mail me. John Reaves 23:33, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button Image:Signature_icon.png located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 02:19, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
