[edit] Revert of my last two edits on Valley Forge

These edits were not vandalism. Check the source I listed in my copyright vio claim. I'm acting in good faith. 128.135.224.50 22:59, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Status

No, I didnt make it, I wish it was automatic though - it would make it much easier! It was created by User:Nishkid64 and anyone can use it, so if I was online I would have:

  • {{User:Nishkid64/StatusChange2|OMG}}

If I were offline I would have:

  • {{User:Nishkid64/StatusChange2|OMG2}}

And if I were busy I would have:

  • {{User:Nishkid64/StatusChange2|OMG3}}

That should help. Cheers! Tellyaddict 12:36, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Also, I've put the members names into a box, and would like to invite you all to add your favorite podcast to the column. Hope to work with you all soon, Ganfon 20:23, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Epworth hospital logo.png

Thanks for uploading Image:Epworth hospital logo.png. 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.

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 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.Betacommand (talkcontribsBot) 20:23, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Epworth hospital logo.png

Thanks for uploading Image:Epworth hospital logo.png. 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-no-disclaimers}} 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 20:23, 17 May 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.Betacommand (talkcontribsBot) 20:23, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Non-free use disputed for Image:Allsaints logo.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Allsaints logo.gif. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid.

[edit] Let's Get Rolling

The Podcasting wikiproject had a brief initial surge, but has since died away. I admit my part in this, I've been very busy as of late and have had little time to do any sort of editing. However the project has had almost no progress over the last few months. Our first task is to outline notability requirements. I have placed what was 'discussed' on the talk page on the main page, but there is certainly room for more input. Once the requirements are outlined we will need to start removing non-notable podcasts from Wikipedia. You all joined this project for a reason, now let's get the ball rolling.Ganfon 15:37, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Warning sign This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Messbe-screenshot.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read carefully the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content and then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies. 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.
