License tagging for Image:Carthage port2 s.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:Carthage port2 s.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:

• Wikipedia:Image use policy
• Wikipedia:Image copyright tags

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. 04:05, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

I have reverted a recent edit you made to the article Jim Quinn. You did not provide an edit summary, and I could not determine whether the edit was vandalism or a constructive contribution. In the future, please use edit summaries. A link to the edit I have reverted can be found here: link. If you believe this edit should not have been reverted, please contact me.

Carthage

Thanks for your recent contributions to this page, which needs a clean up - especially the confused sections on "Elissa" and "Dido". I'd better warn you that "Takeshi", who has just popped up on the Talk page is almost certainly identical to "Marduk", whose bizarre interventions can be read on the Talk:Carthage/Human Sacrifice page. His interventions appear to be one of the reasons for the exhausted attitude of other contributors. Paul B 11:16, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

I would echo the warning (and explanation) of Paul B. However, my reason for contacting you was my reflection on the overly militaristic bent to Carthage's history in the article. You seem to have more of a grasp of the economic/cultural aspects of Carthage's international relations, and I would strongly encourage you to bring that to the article, and help bring a more balanced approach to it. - Vedexent (talk · contribs) 22:53, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

You're welcome :) If the page goes into semi-protection, it is still editable by regular registered users who have been resigted for more than 96 hours, see Wikipedia:Semi-protection policy. Its a measure to keep people from vandalizing a page through rotating anonymous edits (switching IPs as old ones get banned), or creating newly registered accounts to do the same thing. - Vedexent (talk · contribs) 16:29, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

Please don't feed the trolls over at Talk:Carthage. I know their little needling rants are annoying but it's hardly worth your time to argue with them. If they actually fulfill their threats, we'll be ready for them. Until then, save your energy and do some constructive editing instead.

Image source problem with Image:Bob dylan blunt.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:Bob dylan blunt.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, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. 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. 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 specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 21:06, 17 April 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Polly (Parrot) 21:06, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did to Whoopi Goldberg. Your edits appeared to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Racist terminology is particularly offensive.Paul210 (talk) 16:48, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
