[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Ernesto_Nieto.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:Ernesto_Nieto.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 on Wikipedia 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. You can get help on image copyright tagging from Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags.
[edit] Vandalism
Hello, I have a question. What can I do to stop vandalism on a certain page? There is always someone going in and contributing nothing and just vandalising the page. The page in question is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigma_Lambda_Beta ... It has been through a lot and it's not just one IP doing the damage. I always try to counter vandalize and revert edits when I see them on any page and it just seems that this page is targeted a lot. Anything you can do to allow only registered users to edit the page?

- Post a request for help on Wikipedia:Requests for investigation. Realize, however, that many pages receive light vandalism a few times per day, and this is not usually considered serious enough to warrant page protection. Editors are expected to revert as needed. —Steven G. Johnson 00:16, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Spam in Alpha Rho Lambda
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Alpha Rho Lambda, by 66.93.209.195, another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Alpha Rho Lambda is blatant advertising for a company, product, group, service or person that would require a substantial rewrite in order to become an encyclopedia article.
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Alpha Rho Lambda, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Please note, this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Alpha Rho Lambda itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. --Android Mouse Bot 2 17:16, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Orphaned non-free image (Image:Tigerlogo.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Tigerlogo.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. fuzzy510 04:48, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:SigmaLambdaBetaShield.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:SigmaLambdaBetaShield.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages 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 non-free media lacking such an explanation 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. After Midnight 0001 15:53, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Accredited seal blue 100.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:Accredited seal blue 100.gif. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 05:08, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
