[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Complete.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Complete.jpg. 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 on Wikipedia 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. You can get help on image copyright tagging from Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags. --OrphanBot 03:48, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] DMB songs

Hi! I see you've been creating a number of articles about individual DMB songs. Individual songs are rarely considered encyclopedic, especially when the articles contain no more information than can be gleaned from reading the articles about the albums the songs were released on. Perhaps you could focus your efforts on improving the existing Dave Matthews Band articles, or developing an article on a song to include more information than just the album on which it appeared. If you have any questions, just leave a message on my talk page. Thanks and happy editing! -- Merope 14:34, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

I agree. Does every song they ever wrote deserve its own page, especially since (in your articles) they didn't even chart?Mapetite526 21:53, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Grace Is Gone, Grace is Gone

Hello! You don't need to replicate pages for spelling variations. Simply move the page using the tag at the top of the article and the Wiki software automagically creates a redirect from the old title to the new version. (aeropagitica) 21:29, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Release Lillywhite Recordings Campaign

Hi,

How are you?

I am proposing that the following article: Release Lillywhite Recordings Campaign be deleted. There is no proof that this campaign led to the recording of Busted Stuff, or was acknowledged by the DMB or RCA people. While the campaign was mentioned in Rolling Stone and Entertainment Weekly, I don't think that is grounds enough to have a separate article. Please comment on the Talk page. Thanks.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Distant_Early_Warning.gif

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Distant_Early_Warning.gif. I notice the image 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. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure 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 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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and 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. BigrTex 21:45, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Tom_Sawyer.gif

I have tagged Image:Tom_Sawyer.gif as {{no rationale}}, because it does not provide a fair use rationale. If you believe the image to be acceptable for fair use according to Wikipedia policy, please provide a rationale explaining as much, in accordance with the fair use rationale guideline, on the image description page. Please also consider using {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. Thank you. BigrTex 22:03, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use disputed for Image:The Knife.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:The Knife.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.

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 23:13, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
