[edit] KC and Template

Hello, I found your page because you joined the Kindness Committee (which was a wicked awesome thing to do). I tried to carry out the request on your userpage. I hope it turned out how you wanted it. All I did was change 'right' to 'left' after where it says 'float' in the beginning. LambaJan 18:19, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem RE: Image:Iain Lee.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Iain Lee.jpg. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law. We need you to specify two things on the image description page:

  • The copyright holder, and
  • The copyright status

The copyright holder is usually the creator. If the creator was paid to make this image, then their employer may be the copyright holder. If several people collaborated, then there may be more than one copyright holder. If you created this image, then you are the copyright holder.

Because of the large number of images on Wikipedia, we've sorted them using image copyright tags. Just find the right tag corresponding to the copyright status of this image, and paste it onto the image description page like this: {{TAGHERE}}.

There are 3 basic ways to licence an image on Wikipedia:

  • The copyright holder can also release their work into the public domain. See here for examples.
  • Images from certain sources are automatically released into the public domain. This is true for the United States, where the Wikimedia servers are located. (See here for images from the government of the USA and here for other governments.) However, not all governments release their work into the public domain. One exception is the UK (see here for images from the UK government). Non-free licence governments are listed here.
  • Also, in some cases, an image is copyrighted but allowed on Wikipedia because of fair use. To see a) if this image qualifies, and b) if so, how to tag it, see Wikipedia:Fair use.

For more information, see Wikipedia:Image copyright tags. Please remember that untagged images are likely to be deleted.

If you have uploaded other images without including copyright tags, please go back and tag them. Also, please tag all images that you upload in the future.

If you have any questions, just leave a message on my talk page. Thanks again. --Sherool (talk) 18:16, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

Hi again, you say we have permission to use the image? Is that all? If so the {{CopyrightedFreeUse}} tag is inapropriate. If all we can do is display it you should use a fairuse tag in combination with {{withpermission}}. The {{CopyrightedFreeUse}} tag basicaly means that anyone is free to modify, copy, redistribute and use the image for commercial purposes as if the image was in the public domain. Is that rely what we have been given permission to do? --Sherool (talk) 14:48, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use images on templates

Hi. You created the template Template:User UK DUP, which contained a copyrighted image upon which the fair use doctrine was being claimed by Wikipedia. The fair use doctrine for us only applies for educational purposes, which does not include stuff used outside of the main namespace (even the Main Page probably can't have fair use images). Please try to remember not to include fair use images in userboxes or your own user space again, as it is a breach of copyright. I have removed the copyrighted image from the template on your behalf. - Mark 01:43, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:C5 croydon.gif has been listed for deletion

An image or media file that you uploaded, Image:C5 croydon.gif, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please look there to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

[edit] Images on user pages

Hi RaptorX. You're free to put most images on your user page, if they are "public domain", or "gnu free documentation license" or "creative commons". If they are "fair use", you cannot use them on your user page. There may be other situations where you cannot use an image, such as where the image breaks a law, or is judged to not be appropriate for a user page, according to the community. I hope this has been a help. - Mark 12:38, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Happy Birthday from the Wikipedia Happy Birthday Committee, of which I am the only member. JaredW 12:05, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User:E Series

Just to let you know, the immature user was imitating you on his user talk page. I'm not sure if that's allowed or not, but I thought I'd tell you. Philc 0780 21:24, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:We-are-not-afraid.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:We-are-not-afraid.gif. 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 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. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sherool (talk) 20:31, 20 May 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Image Tagging Image:Nick Ferrari.jpg

Warning sign
This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Nick Ferrari.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified 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 media 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 qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then 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 media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, 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 unsourced and untagged images 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. cholmes75 (chit chat) 00:47, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Website Screenshots

Looking through the history I think I am correct that you added the image to Digital Spy, how did you do this as the site does not fit fully on the screen so pressing Print Screen would not work.

[edit] Moved your navigation template to userspace

Greetings, I moved your navigation template to User:RaptorX/nav. Since you would be the only user of the template, it's more appropriate for your userspace and it works just the same. I've changed all the links to the old template space location to point to the new userspace location. All the best, --Durin 19:51, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:LBC Podcast Webpage.JPG listed for deletion

An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:LBC Podcast Webpage.JPG, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please look there to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in its not being deleted. Thank you. —Nv8200p talk 00:50, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Iain Lee.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Iain Lee.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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.

Please also note that images with permission only for Wikipedia are not suitable and can be speedily deleted under criterion I3. mattbr30 23:09, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

This also applies to Image:Nick Ferrari.jpg. mattbr30 23:12, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Choice FM.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:Choice FM.png. 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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).

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 fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 04:50, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WP:CVU status

The Wikipedia:Counter-Vandalism Unit project is under consideration to be moved to {{inactive}} and/or {{historical}} status. Another proposal is to delete or redirect the project. You have been identified as a project member and your input as to this matter would be welcomed at WT:CVU#Inactive.3F and at the deletion debate. Thank you!

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Capital Gold 1548 Logo.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:Capital Gold 1548 Logo.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 01:38, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AfD nomination of WeeMee

WeeMee, an article you created, has been nominated for deletion. We appreciate your contributions. However, an editor does not feel that WeeMee satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in the nomination space (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and the Wikipedia deletion policy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/WeeMee and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You are free to edit the content of WeeMee during the discussion but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion discussion. Thank you. Leuko 14:48, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Thames1992.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Thames1992.jpg. 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. Mr Senseless (talk) 22:05, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Century FM 105 4.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:Century FM 105 4.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 22:20, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] London Meetup - January 12, 2008

Hi! There's going to be a London Wikipedia Meetup coming Saturday January 12, 2008. If you are interested in coming along take part in the discussion over at Wikipedia:Meetup/London7. The discussion is going on until tomorrow evening and the official location and time will be published at the same page late Thursday or early Friday. Hope to see you Saturday, Poeloq (talk) 03:24, 10 January 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Superchannel1987.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Superchannel1987.jpg. 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) 07:26, 21 January 2008 (UTC)


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

Thank you for uploading Image:Magic FM.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 16:03, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
