[edit] License tagging for Image:GlenHaven etching800.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:GlenHaven etching800.jpg. 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:

Thanks so much for adding to the New York articles. I hope you can continue to fill out these articles with more information and detail, especially, in the areas you have familiarity. Keep on going, Stepp-Wulf 02:47, 14 December 2006 (UTC).

How do I avoid caption and link being covered by large images, e.g. lower photo: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finger_Lakes Thanks.

I don't see that they are being covered up, myself. Somitho 01:36, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:SkanConcert.jpg listed for deletion

Dear uploader: The media file you uploaded as Image:SkanConcert.jpg has been listed for speedy deletion because you selected a copyright license type implying some type of restricted use, such as for non-commercial use only, or for educational use only or for use on Wikipedia by permission. While it might seem reasonable to assume that such files can be freely used on Wikipedia, a non-profit website, this is in fact not the case. Please do not upload any more files with these restrictions on them, because content on Wikipedia needs to be compatible with the GNU Free Documentation License, which allows anyone to use it for any purpose, commercial or non-commercial.

If you created this media file and want to use it on Wikipedia, you may re-upload it (or amend the image description if it has not yet been deleted) and use the license {{GFDL-self}} to license it under the GFDL, or {{cc-by-sa-2.5}} to license it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license, or use {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain.

If you did not create this media file but want to use it on Wikipedia, there are two ways to proceed. First, you may choose one of the fair use tags from this list if you believe one of those fair use rationales applies to this file. Second, you may want to contact the copyright holder and request that they make the media available under a free license.

If you have any questions please ask at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you. cholmes75 (chit chat) 15:03, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:LakeFromBoat680.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:LakeFromBoat680.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. 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 you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Shyam (T/C) 22:00, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Skaneateles Festival

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Skaneateles Festival, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

[edit] Reference footnotes

Hi Phmalo, many thanks for your contributions. I know it was a while ago but I was just wondering if you could revisit your contributions to the architectural theory article and add footnote references for the information you added. See Wikipedia:Footnotes and Wikipedia:Citing sources for details on how to do this. The easiest way I know is to add <ref></ref> around the information about the book, only without typing the nowiki code. In the next month or two I will be expanding this article in an attempt to bring it to Wikipedia:Featured article status which, for all intents and purposes, requires some 5 or 6 footnotes per paragraph, and if you could add some reference footnotes to the text you added it would save me a lot of work, and I wouldn't have to rewrite much of what you added. Regards, D. Recorder 01:10, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Syracuse revives...

Hi Phmalo -- Just a note to claim that Wikipedia:WikiProject Syracuse, New York is at least somewhat revived, with a couple people contributing and a good number of new articles. See the new article list on the main webpage of the project. You mentioned being interested in architectural history...me too, i am working on a number of historic buildings articles and articles about architects. In particular there is a big need to write about Ward Wellington Ward and his works. He is the architect who designed 26 homes in Syracuse that are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Anyhow, hope you can return and participate! doncram (talk) 01:27, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
