Image copyright problem with Image:Me and my boys!.jpg edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Me and my boys!.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. Even if you created the image yourself, you still need to release it so Wikipedia can use it. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like {{PD-self}} (to release all rights), {{self|CC-by-sa-3.0|GFDL}} (to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by STBotI. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 11:31, 24 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Portrait on your article edit

Modesty? Well, that's admirable, but I still think it looks better the other way! Perhaps we can move the other picture to where the appropriate section is in the article. Retarius | Talk 07:35, 29 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

IP editing to Button article and accusation of bias edit

Someone has accused us of biased editing in the above article. I won't cop it from a person who doesn't even sign their post or offer evidence. I've reverted it. Retarius | Talk 04:59, 26 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Estelleblackburn-2.jpg edit

 

A tag has been placed on File:Estelleblackburn-2.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. -- ТимофейЛееСуда. 21:26, 9 June 2012 (UTC)Reply
