Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as Dr. Sue DeWine, but we regretfully cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from either web sites or printed material.

Image copyright problem with Image:MC-Erwin.jpg edit

Thanks for uploading Image:MC-Erwin.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. Thank you. Shyam (T/C) 21:18, 21 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

Image:Girl-with-Book.jpg edit

This image says we have permission to use it on Wikipedia, but it's tagged as "no rights reserved" with means that anyone can do anyting with it. Could you please clearify what this permission is. Did they say "you can use the image on Wikipedia", wich case the correct that would be {{permission}} and the image must be deleted, or did they explicitly say (something to the effect of) "anyone can do whatever they want with the image, including modifying and selling it without asking for permission", in wich case the "no rights" tag is ok, but we need more info on the page explaining that this is what they actualy agreed to. Thanks. --Sherool (talk) 01:28, 5 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned non-free media (Image:College-Seal-282.jpg) edit

  Thanks for uploading Image:College-Seal-282.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:29, 22 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Image permission problem with Image:Schaly-don.jpg edit

 
Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:Schaly-don.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the image (or other media 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 image to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the image 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 image'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. Images lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Skier Dude (talk) 16:09, 8 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

Marietta College edit

As opposed to continual undoing, please discuss your views on the talk page. Thanks and cheers, —Ed (talkcontribs) 15:25, 29 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

I'd prefer to not have to continually undo the changes, but my goal is to keep the information accurate. Marietta College was founded as a liberal arts college and the institution continues to teach liberal arts. Yes, there are students who major in programs outside of liberal arts, but their education is grounded in these teachings. Didn't realize this was going to become such a touchy subject with an individual. Perryt

This is why Wikipedia is a joke. I edit information that is patently false, but you allow it to remain on the site.
