[edit] Welcome

Hello. Welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. If you need help, you can check Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme|your question here}} on this page, and someone will reply to your question here.

I saw that you added the WikiProject Schools userbox and your signature to Dakota Hills Middle School. Userboxes should be used only on user pages and signatures should be used only on talk or discussion pages. Once you've been here for a while, you'll get a better feel for how things are done, but from what I can see, you are off to a great start.

Oh, and if you'd like to read our style guide, it's over at Wikipedia:Manual of Style. WODUP 03:32, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:0782135750 collapse detour HD.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:0782135750 collapse detour HD.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. 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 meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, 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 files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 01:00, 3 August 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. TomStar81 (Talk) 01:00, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:0782135750 collapse detour HD.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:0782135750 collapse detour HD.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. TomStar81 (Talk) 01:00, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] OK then,

I have updated the image to relfect the source, in the process adding the needed liscence information and removing the iminent deletion warning tags. You may place this image back in the article if you so wish to; be aware that if it is not in an article though it will be deleted as an orphaned image since it claimed under fair use.

[edit] Orphaned non-free image (Image:0782135750 collapse detour HD.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:0782135750 collapse detour HD.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 03:59, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for notifying me. It seems that this guy has stopped. Also, the comments were made several months ago so its probably someone else. Nevertheless, if it continues, you can warn him using these templates. --Hdt83 Chat 00:58, 15 November 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Supertux.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Supertux.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

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. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Supertux.png

Image:Supertux.png is being used on this article. 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 this Wikipedia article 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.

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 insure 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 there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and 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.

[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Supertux.png

Thanks for uploading Image:Supertux.png. 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 (talk) 21:24, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Supertux.png

Copied from here

What's wrong with the rational for this picture? It keeps rejecting it, so I went all the way and copied the use agreement from the game, and it still doesn't like it!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Penguin boy93 (talk • contribs) 22:36, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

If this is a screenshot of GFDL software, and has no non-GFDL elements, shouldn't it use a GFDL image licensing tag? Gimmetrow 22:53, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
GFDL is Gnu Free Documentation License. But my mistake, I guess it's actually GPL - Gnu Public License.
Anyway, the image is tagged with a "non-free" licensing tag. If the non-free tag is correct, then the image page needs to have a fair use rationale and specifically list each page where it's used. If the tag is incorrect, and the image is under GFDL or GPL or something equivalent, then it needs to use a "free" tag to avoid these problems. I don't really know for sure that a screenshot of open source software is necessarily free, since a screenshot involves some things beyond the software alone (such as the window rendering engine, which is part of the operating system and may not be licensed free). But that's the solution as far as I can tell - either change the tag to something "free", or provide a "fair use rationale" including page links. Gimmetrow 23:59, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
If the screenshot really has no non-free issues, the appropriate licensing is probably {{GPL screenshot}}. I've switched the licensing assuming that you're right, and tidied the page. Gimmetrow 01:19, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
However, I would add that I'm not sure this is really correct if the screenshot is taken on a non-free OS. If the game uses any library in the OS to do any rendering, the image in the screenshot partly depends on that library, and so the licensing would seem to partly depend on that library too. If you did take the screenshot on a free-license OS, you might want to say that somewhere too. Gimmetrow 01:30, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
