From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Welcome!

Hello, The-totem, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome! 

However:

A tag has been placed on Jørgen Håland, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be a biographical account about a person, group of people, or band, but it does not indicate how or why he/she/they is/are notable. If you can indicate why Jørgen Håland is really notable, I advise you to edit the article promptly, and also put a note on Talk:Jørgen Håland. Any admin should check for such edits before deleting the article. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 7 under Articles. You might also want to read our general biography criteria. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. To contest the tagging and request that admins should wait a while for you to assert his/her/their notability, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and then immediately add such an assertion. It is also a very good idea to add citations from reliable sources to ensure that your article will be verifiable. Emmett5 22:20, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

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

Thanks for uploading Image:Parken.jpg. The image description 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.

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 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.

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 23:10, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Holga-flashes-1-mindre.jpg

Can you please verify that you are the creator (i.e. the person who designed and drew) this image? Thank you. Stifle (talk) 16:49, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] holgaflash image

Hello I most certainly verify that i made this image in its entirety, do i have to press any buttons anywhere to verify this fact? //Jacob —The preceding unsigned comment was added by The-totem (talk • contribs) 23:11, 03 August 2006 (UTC).

No, that is fine. Please sign your posts on talk pages by adding ~~~~ at the end.
However, you said that you are the creator of both Image:DSC_1371.jpg and Image:Mindre moveonup piece.jpg, which is impossible. Please choose one, and then add the correct copyright tag to the other. Stifle (talk) 10:24, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] more on the images...

Hi Again. Why is it impossible that i made both pictures? i don't understand. Surely, i have made many pictures in my time, i chose not to limit myself to only one image in my entire life.... right? So then the copyright should be ok, or..? The-totem 17:04, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Simple. You say that you are the person on the right in Image:DSC 1371.jpg, and that it was taken by a bystander. This does not compute with what you have previously stated. Stifle (talk) 17:11, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Aha! thanks for that clarification. The picture was indeed taken by a bystander, but later given to me with verbal OK for putting it here. Which type of licence do this mean i should put on it, then? Sorry about the trouble. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by The-totem (talk • contribs) .

You need the permission of that person to release the image under a free license, or you need to provide a justifiable reason that the image qualifies for fair use. You will also need to provide the source of the image, otherwise it is liable to be deleted. Stifle (talk) 17:22, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

All right, emmm... I got the image on email from the person who took it(don't remember the name), i asked if i could ise it online on wikipedia, and she said it was OK. What do you propose i do? English is'nt my first language anyways, it's kinda hard reading through the whole of Wikipedia:Image_copyright_tags for what to do... The-totem 21:56, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Having permission to use it on Wikipedia only is not sufficient. It needs to be released under a free license. I recommend bringing this to Wikipedia:Media copyright questions as they are more specialized and can deal with you more quickly. Stifle (talk) 22:33, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
