Image Tagging Image:Auditorium1929.jpg edit

 
This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Auditorium1929.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL-self}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then 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 media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, 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 unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. -SCEhardT 00:00, 13 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for uploading Image:WPA_Mural.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images.

License tagging for Image:DeWitt Clinton rear.JPG edit

Thanks for uploading Image:DeWitt Clinton rear.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:

Image copyright problem with Image:DWCarial.jpg edit

Thanks for uploading Image:DWCarial.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. --Hetar 05:18, 2 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

File permission problem with File:DWC Tower.jpg edit

 
File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:DWC Tower.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the GFDL or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

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, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. 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 provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

July 2009 edit

  This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits. The next time you insert a spam link, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted preventing anyone from linking to them from all Wikimedia sites as well as potentially being penalized by search engines. 99.0.83.41 (talk) 18:01, 31 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

 
You have been blocked indefinitely from editing in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy because your account is being used only for spam, advertising, or promotion. If you believe this block is unjustified you may contest this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first.

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

GJPelisson (block logactive blocksglobal blockscontribsdeleted contribsfilter logcreation logchange block settingsunblockcheckuser (log))


Request reason:

I should read my messages. I was not aware of multiple warnings about adding information about my history of DeWitt Clinton High School. I would not have continued to add them if I knew I were going against policy. I would like some clarification. Some entries on Wikipedia include bibliographies in which the books listed are not totally about the person in the entry. For example, the entry on George Cukor contains books in which Cukor is only one of many people discussed in the books. George Cukor attended DeWitt Clinton HS. He is discussed in my book. Should I not be able to list my book? Was my mistake that I should have put my book in a Bibliography category and not as an external link. I have also added a considerable amount of material to the DeWitt Clinton HS entry. I feel that citing my book there would be valid. I did not mean to spam. A lot of famous people attended DWC HS and are discussed in my book. I was not seeing my entries as spam. But if they were, I apology and hope that I can be reinstated and that some acceptable way to reference my book can be found. Gerard Pelisson

Decline reason:

Abusum non tollit usum. Or, just because some articles contain bibliographies where some entries have a dubious connection to the subject does not give you justification to spam. In fact, could you tell us which entries ought to be removed from the Cukor article? Thanks. — Daniel Case (talk) 20:38, 9 August 2009 (UTC)Reply


If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Indefinite! Sort of like purgatory. Never knew I was such a bad guy. As for the Wikepedia article on DeWitt Clinton High School, the notable alumni Harold Baer, Edward Bernstein, Stephen Buckley, and Leonard Davis are linked to the wrong people. I don't know if any of the Cukor books in his bibliography should be removed. They all invite the reader to learn more about Cukor.

File source problem with File:Library1929.jpg edit

 

Thank you for uploading File:Library1929.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, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kelly hi! 13:56, 13 October 2014 (UTC)Reply
