Image Tagging for Image:Bordeaux10.png

Thanks for uploading Image:Bordeaux10.png. However, the copyright tag you've used is deprecated or obsolete, and should not be used. This could be because the tag is inaccurate or misleading, or because it does not adequately specify the copyright status of the image. For a list of copyright tags that are in current use, see the "Public domain", "Free license", and "Fair use" sections of Wikipedia:Image copyright tags.

Coat of arms not marked as depreciated

User:OrphanBot marked Image:Bordeaux10.png as having a depreciated copyright tag, but Template:Coat of arms is not marked as depreciated. What is going on? Please respond to User talk:Remember the dot.

That tag is deprecated only in that it is no longer a copyright tag. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the current list. The {{coatofarms}} tag is informational only. Think of it simply as saying, "This image is a coat of arms". We still need to know both the source and license of the image however, as we do with all images on Wikipedia. You don't have to remove the coat of arms tag, but it is neither a license nor a source. Hope that makes sense, if not, feel free to reply on my talk page, or back at WP:MCQ. - cohesion 20:12, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
Haha, yeah I know how that works for some reason I got a weird random question mark. :O I'm not a robot I promise! hehe. - cohesion 02:39, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Image:The boss icon.gif

Howdy - Please note that having a similar image of a different file type is not a criteria for speedy deletion. In the future, just use {{subst:orfud}} and the image will be deleted in 7 days if it remains unused. Thanks! -SCEhardT 01:49, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Well, I would appreciate if you don't tag images for speedy deletion that don't meet the requirements at WP:CSD. The requirement for identical copies states: "Any image that is a redundant copy, in the same image file format and same or lower resolution, of something else on Wikipedia." This way if someone doesn't think the new version should be used, or there is a mistake, or etc., they have 7 days to dispute the change. Thanks -SCEhardT 03:34, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Image:User-Alvinrune.png listed for deletion

Dear uploader: The media file you uploaded as Image:User-Alvinrune.png 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, but 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. MECU≈talk 14:53, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Image copyright tags

Hi. Could you please tell me why you have moved the image copyright tags on Wikipedia:Image copyright tags to a separate page? It is much more convenient to have them all on the same page. ---Remember the dot 04:01, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your feedback, Remember the dot. The Wikipedia:Image copyright tags page was overwhelming, so I have created several subpages like Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Fair use. You can still the tags on a single page at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Displayed and ranked. Merry Christmas! --Ellmist 04:16, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

That's really not what I was going for. I liked having the entire page loaded, so I could refer back to it. Well, Merry Christmas to you too! ---Remember the dot 04:21, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

Can you please be more specific about your problem with Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Displayed and ranked? I am trying to make image tagging as easy as possible for you and other Wikipedians. --Ellmist 04:28, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

There is no table of contents, and the full template is shown instead of just a one-line summary. ---Remember the dot 04:30, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

Okay, I see your point. Check out Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/All. The table of contents is a little bit screwed up, but I am working on it. --Ellmist 04:35, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:PureBasic Hello World message box screenshot.png

Thanks for uploading Image:PureBasic Hello World message box screenshot.png. 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:
