Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the external links you added to the page Harvey Fierstein do not comply with our guidelines for external links. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Wikipedia policy prohibits blogs from being used as references in Wikipedia articles. Thank you. --DrGaellon (talk | contribs) 19:29, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Whoop-Dee-Doo!.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Whoop-Dee-Doo!.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.

[edit] Image copyright

Sorry, I don't understand. The picture I posted of Jean Smart as Lil in "Last Summer at Bluefish Cove" was taken for publicity purposes and the original copyright belongs to the production company, which is The Glines. But it's offered to the press, then it becomes public domain. Please advise.

Public domain is a specific legal status: it means that the image either was never copyrighted, or the copyright has expired. It's very rare for recent publicity images (or any other recently-made images) to be in the public domain. In the case of publicity images, they are copyrighted and offered to the press under very specific conditions: that the image is used to promote the person or organization in question. --Carnildo 22:14, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:*John_Glines.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion.

[edit] Orphaned non-free image (Image:01-Barges-Garuda.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:01-Barges-Garuda.jpg. 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 10:57, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
