[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Bikeman island 1975.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Bikeman island 1975.jpg. 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. bluemask 15:35, 4 March 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Image Tagging Image:Bonriki International Airport 1975.jpg

Warning sign
This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Bonriki International Airport 1975.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, 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 unsourced and untagged images 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. Jkelly 21:39, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ben Collins (driver)

Hello Mark, thank you for your edits to Wikipedia. In the Ben Collins (driver) article, one of your edits removed a reference on the basis that it was badly rewritten and replaced it with a red-line. I have now restored the former state. Please be careful when editing not to remove references and these are what give Wikipedia its credibility. Many thanks for your edits! —Sladen (talk) 01:07, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

The reason for my removal of that reference is that it did not refer to Ben, nor to the event being discussed, but only to the other participant. -Mark Tranchant
