I have just had to recreate White Panther from scratch. In spite of my mutant bigcats page on messybeast.com displaying a notice that text is licenced, someone decided the White Panther article was copyvio and deleted. This is very discouraging and makes a mockery of the GFDL licence notice displayed on that page. Messybeast 21:40, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

6th Dec 2005: I am a newbie to Wikipedia tho I've previously given permission for text/images from my works and websites to be reproduced on Wikipedia by other users. My field of knowledge is genetics/felids. Please forgive my errors that result from inexperience. I've created an a/c because I use a shared IP address (with a few 1000 others) and not all edits from that IP are mine.Messybeast 06:38, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Please do not automatically assume text content reproduced from messybeast.com is copyvio. I gave permission for other Wikipedians to use content. Also, it isn't plagiarism of the Messybeast hybrids webpages - how can I plagiarise myself? Messybeast 06:38, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Please note the Messybeast website is sometimes slow (very occasionally offline) due to server maintenance. Please don't assume it is a dead link! I have given permission for some of the photos (pumapard, polar/brown bear hybrid) to be uploaded to Wikipedia if someone with more experience than me wishes to do this.

Added photos of Polar/Brown bear hybrid, Jaglion, hybrid pig, Pumapard. All photos my own work released to Wikipedia (my own website was suffering outages and people could not see images).Messybeast 08:45, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Baby-MSIM.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Baby-MSIM.jpg. Wikipedia gets hundreds 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, 15 June 2006 (UTC)


Image was already tagged when uploaded. Can't see what the problem is.Messybeast 07:13, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
