File copyright problem with File:The Bridge.jpg

File Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading File:The Bridge.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. — neuro^(talk) 02:55, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Since Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by some search engines, including Google. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. "KevinNottingham.com" is not a notable, credible source for album reviews, so it does not merit inclusion in any articles. Please stop spamming Wikipedia with links to this site.

• Well for one, there is a CLEAR conflict of interest with you spamming Wikipedia with links. If someone else wants to add them then that's fine, but Wikipedia is not someplace for you to promote your website. Also, you'll have to forgive my skepticism, but for someone to call their own website "highly regarded" does not exactly suggest that it's a reliable source. Please see WP:SPAMMER for more information. If you continue to add these links, I will report you as a spammer. Rwiggum (^Talk/_Contrib) 02:36, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

• Please see WP:Reliable sources for more information. But the main issue here is that you are blanketing Wikipedia with links to your own site, which is by definition spamming. Also, just because other stuff exists that you feel is inferior in some way to your website, that is not an argument for your site's inclusion, but rather an argument for those others sites' exclusion. Also, website hits do not factor in to how notable a website is, as per WP:GHITS. Again, while the notability of the site is a major issue, the main problem is that YOU are adding links, and that you are doing almost nothing BUT adding those links. That is the textbook definition of a spammer. Rwiggum (^Talk/_Contrib) 04:50, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:The Bridge.jpg)

⚠

Thanks for uploading Image:The Bridge.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).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude (talk) 04:39, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
