License tagging for Image:Cheap-stock-photos.jpg edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Cheap-stock-photos.jpg. Wikipedia gets hundreds 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:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 00:05, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Timbercon article edit

If you're still interested, you might want to see the talk page for this article -- the article's got some issues which have been flagged. Also, there was another recent round of Timbercon link-spamming which has been duly noted.--A. B. 23:32, 14 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Deletion nomination edit

I nominated an article that you created, Timbercon, for deletion. If you think that the article is salvageable, or that I'm mistaken, please comment on its deletion page. Please see the Guide to deletion if you have any questions about Wikipedia's deletion process. -- --A. B. 21:38, 17 July 2006 (UTC)Reply


Image copyright problem with Image:Product-Development.jpg edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Product-Development.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 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. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Hipocrite - «Talk» 17:44, 18 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
