License tagging for Image:Alfonso Soriano.jpg edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Alfonso Soriano.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:

Proposed deletion for David shrager edit

I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article David shrager, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Importance). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree, discuss the issues raised at Talk:David shrager. If you remove the {{dated prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Image:John-Patterson.jpg listed for deletion edit

Dear uploader: The media file you uploaded as Image:John-Patterson.jpg has been listed for speedy deletion because you selected a copyright license type implying some type of restricted use, such as for non-commercial use only, or for educational use only or for use on Wikipedia by permission. While it might seem reasonable to assume that such files can be freely used on Wikipedia, a non-profit website, this is in fact not the case. Please do not upload any more files with these restrictions on them, because content on Wikipedia needs to be compatible with the GNU Free Documentation License, which allows anyone to use it for any purpose, commercial or non-commercial.

If you created this media file and want to use it on Wikipedia, you may re-upload it (or amend the image description if it has not yet been deleted) and use the license {{GFDL-self}} to license it under the GFDL, or {{cc-by-sa-2.5}} to license it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license, or use {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain.

If you did not create this media file but want to use it on Wikipedia, there are two ways to proceed. First, you may choose one of the fair use tags from this list if you believe one of those fair use rationales applies to this file. Second, you may want to contact the copyright holder and request that they make the media available under a free license.

If you have any questions please ask at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you. —Pilotguy (ptt) 23:34, 7 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion of Image:John Patterson.jpg edit

 

A tag has been placed on Image:John Patterson.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image licensed as "for non-commercial use only," "non-derivative use" or "used with permission," it has not been shown to comply with the limited standards for the use of non-free content. [1], and it was either uploaded on or after 2005-05-19, or is not used in any articles. If you agree with the deletion, there is no need to do anything. If, however, you believe that this image may be retained on Wikipedia under one of the permitted conditions then:

  • state clearly the source of the image. If it has been copied from elsewhere on the web you should provide links to: the image itself, the page which uses it and the page which contains the license conditions.
  • add the relevant copyright tag.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on [[ Talk:Image:John Patterson.jpg|the talk page]] explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Kelly hi! 03:54, 18 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Discussion regarding ResellerRatings edit

Your revisions to the ResellerRatings page are not neutral, are not factual, and do a disservice to Wikipedia.

You said, "ResellerRatings originally solicited reviews with the goal of selling the data for profit; but beginning in 2011, after search engines Google and Bing began displaying ResellerRatings scores on their shopping pages for free, CEO Scott Wainner changed the company's business model to offer an enhanced set of "marketing services" to stores, and required all participating merchants to pay monthly fees ranging up to thousands of dollars per month. “We had to adapt and change,” said Wainner. [1]

This is inaccurate and skewed to maliciously damage ResellerRatings' reputation.

1) ResellerRatings did not originally solicit reviews with the "goal of selling the data for profit".

2) Saying that ResellerRatings charges monthly fees "ranging up to thousands of dollars per month" is inaccurate and libelous. ResellerRatings does not disclose its pricing. Small merchants can subscribe for as little as $29 per month.

When you put things like "marketing services" in quotes, and use language like "ranging up to thousands of dollars", it's clear that you have an agenda here.

It appears that you dislike ResellerRatings and are using Wikipedia to bash it, to fulfill a personal agenda. That's not the spirit of Wikipedia: editing articles with negative, hateful, spiteful agenda, is not helpful and is not accurate. I will continue to veto your inaccurate edit. If you'd like to propose a factual edit, let me know. Otherwise, I'll invoke Wikipedia's dispute resolution and we can have a 3rd party editor decide. Techimo (talk) 00:10, 4 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

ResellerRatings - Chime in if you can edit

I'm attempting to include other facets of this business in the article on ResellerRatings. I invite you to participate on Talk:ResellerRatings. As we both know, Techimo is affiliated with the company and shilling all over that page to keep anything which he considers unflattering from appearing.
