[edit] Duplicate images uploaded

Thanks for uploading Image:Beverly Perdue 2004 Portrait.jpg. A machine-controlled robot account noticed that you also uploaded the same image under the name Image:Lt-Gov-Portrait-04.jpg. The copy called Image:Lt-Gov-Portrait-04.jpg has been marked for speedy deletion since it is redundant. If this sounds okay to you, there is no need for you to take any action.

This is an automated message- you have not upset or annoyed anyone, and you do not need to respond. In the future, you may save yourself some confusion if you supply a meaningful file name and refer to 'my contributions' to remind yourself exactly which name you chose (file names are case sensitive, including the extension) so that you won't lose track of your uploads. For tips on good file naming, see Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions about this notice, or feel that the deletion is inappropriate, please contact User:Staecker, who operates the robot account. Staeckerbot 14:46, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] thanks

Yeah thanks, my picture was pretty bad. Make sure you filled out the licensing info correctly however, or the wiki-police will remove your image. Jerimee 14:48, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

They are going to get you on this:

This only applies to works of the Federal Government and not to the work of any individual U.S. state, territory, commonwealth, county, subdivision, or municipality.

I didn't see a picture up there, did you have one? I was going to use the fact that it was in the public domain but had trouble working through that page. Either way, my point stands!

Yeah I added this picture, which I can claim ownership of: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Berverly_perdue_nc_politician.jpg

It's not as good as the photo you added, but as I've said wikipedia can get a little anal about licensing. Jerimee 03:09, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image source problem with Image:Beverly Perdue 2004 Portrait.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Beverly Perdue 2004 Portrait.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, 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, 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:Non-free content, 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 15:32, 1 February 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Tom (talk - email) 15:32, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
