Image copyright problem with Image:Whiteys.jpg edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Whiteys.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. -- Carnildo 08:15, 3 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

John Patrick Looney edit

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We appreciate your contributions to the John Patrick Looney article, but we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. Perhaps you would like to rewrite the article in your own words. For more information, take a look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Happy editing! Calton | Talk 23:54, 11 May 2006 (UTC)Reply


Look at the dates when the Wiki article was created and when the other post was made.

I did.

You even copied the misspelling of "inaccurate" (Other than publishing innaccurate news stories, Looney had a hand in...).

Any other questions? --Calton | Talk 02:02, 13 May 2006 (UTC)Reply


  • Caltron, the text you claim that I copied was not entered on September 14, 2005. The text you claim that I copied was a reply to the September 14, 2005 article. The reply to the article was posted on March 1, 2006 (It is clearly displayed). You have to scroll down to the reply and look at the date the reply (which you say I copied) was posted. I did not copy this text. They copied it from Wiki as the Wiki article was created 4 months prior to the posting of the text in question. notyouravgjoe | Talk 19:16, 13 May 2006 (UTC

Oh, hell. You're absolutely right: I confused the two texts, relying on word-searching on the page. My deepest apologies. I'll fix that.

By the way, the name is "Calton". Never has been, never will be "Caltron". --Calton | Talk 00:07, 15 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned non-free image File:Ledges.jpg edit

 

Thanks for uploading File:Ledges.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

PLEASE NOTE:

  • I am a bot, and will therefore will not be able to answer your questions.
  • I will remove the request for deletion if the file is used once again.
  • If you recieved this notice after the image is deleted, and you want to restore the image, click here to file an un-delete request.
  • To opt out of these bot messages, add {{bots|deny=DASHBot}} to somewhere on your talk page.

Thank you. DASHBot (talk) 08:42, 13 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

Non-free rationale for File:Maquoketscaves.jpg edit

 

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Maquoketscaves.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 13:52, 12 August 2011 (UTC)Reply
