[edit] License tagging for Image:NRT Logo.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:NRT Logo.gif. 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. 05:09, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Duplicate images uploaded
Thanks for uploading Image:BillAdams Donkey.jpg. A machine-controlled robot account noticed that you uploaded the same image twice: as Image:BillAdams Donkey.jpg and also as Image:Packed Donkey.jpg. The latter copy of the file has been marked for speedy deletion since it is redundant. If this sounds okay to you, there is no need for you to take any action.
This is an automated message- you have not upset or annoyed anyone. In the future, you may save yourself some confusion if you supply a meaningful file name and remember exactly which name you chose (file names are case sensitive, including the extension) so that you won't lose track of your uploads. For tips on good file naming, see Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions about this notice, or feel that the deletion is inappropriate, please contact User:Staecker, who operates the robot account. Staeckerbot 06:46, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Links
I certainly agree with your cause, but links to online petitions really aren't appropriate, especially when added to many articles. The best thing would be to discuss the controversy as reported in reliable sources. Have any of the local papers covered this issue? ·:· Will Beback ·:· 18:48, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
