File copyright problem with File:Apartment and tower.jpg

File Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading File:Apartment and tower.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) 19:03, 6 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of Burn Notice (season 3)

A tag has been placed on Burn Notice (season 3) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

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 the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. -Senseless!... says you, says me 02:55, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Your photo

Sure! I'll do it for you if you wish. It's faster than trying to explain it and you can see what I will have done when you go into the article's edit mode. Back in a flash. :) --PMDrive1061 (talk) 03:05, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You're all set. You can also create a picture gallery by clicking on the "painting" icon fourth from the right atop a page in edit mode. I have to log off, but have fun and thank you for allowing me to assist you. It's my pleasure to do so.--PMDrive1061 (talk) 03:09, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"250px" is the size of the picture in pixels and the "thumb" command turns it into a thumbnail photo which can be captioned. The setting you had at 350 px made for a slightly too large photo, so a quick keystroke shrunk it down. Very nice picture, by the way. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 03:12, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! Well, to begin with, you have additional "tools" available to you which allow you to delete and block unnecessary content and to block problem accounts. As far as my conduct, I'm held to the same standard as any other user, so there really isn't an "elite corps" of users. We're all in this together...and what Wikipedia giveth, Wikipedia taketh away. If my conduct is poor, I can lose the admin rights. To qualify, you should have about three months of editing under your belt; I don't recall the number of edits to the edit space you'd be expected to have. You should also try and contribute to a featured article, which I did before I was nominated. Keep on working to create good, original contributions. In fact, any user can nominate another for adminship. It's then a matter of community consensus. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 02:44, 19 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

To answer your questions: Yes and yes. :) Looks like you did a good one already for season three! BTW, you don't need permission to create an article. Just jump in the water and start splashing. PMDrive1061 (talk) 01:02, 20 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Been there, done that, bro. I screwed up big time and often when I first got started. Takes a little while to get used to the place. No need to ever sweat an edit made in good faith. PMDrive1061 (talk) 01:09, 20 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, they sure are blank. They're easy to add. What you do is to press the button on the toolbar on the far right when you're in edit mode. You'll see this:

<ref>Insert non-formatted text here</ref>

The line about the non-formatted text is highlighted so that you can paste a web address to it. Skip a line after the address and you can add some text. Add this to the bottom of the text near the bottom of the page:

The system will automatically collate and list them for you. :) --PMDrive1061 (talk) 01:17, 20 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Good question; I'd maybe check in with the help desk on that one. Sorry I don't have an answer to that one, bro. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 23:28, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A picture i took of a copyrighted work

I was talking to an admin and he doesn't know the answer to this. So, here is my question: Is this picture I took with my cell phone camera of my copy of Denis Leary's book Why We Suck OK to use on Wikipedia? I think I added the appropriate tag. The filename of the image I uploaded is File:Whywesuckcover.jpg (new user and can't figure out how to link to the image) Thanks for the help! Amicianthony (talk) 23:32, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

In the relevant article it's okay to use, but it would still be fair use since you're reproducing a copyrighted work. Rule of thumb: If the thing you photograph is copyrighted (book or image), the resulting image is still copyrighted. You can't transfer ownership or copyright by reproducing the work. - Mgm|^(talk) 23:37, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict)A better place to ask this question is WP:MCQ. That said: in general, book covers in articles about the book fall squarely within the non-free content criteria. You might want to use the template {{Book cover fur}} to generate the fair-use rationale. The only problem I can see with the image is that, being taken by a mobile phone, it isn't a very high-quality image. If you have access to a scanner, a scan of the book cover would be much better. You can link to images like this. Algebraist 23:40, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for all your help! I will try to scan it soon, i just wans't sure, as the copyright notice mentioned something about it being "low-resolution", and I wasn't sure what it meant. Amicianthony (talk) 23:53, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You can always lower the resolution of your scanned image. It'll still look better than a dodgy photo. Algebraist 23:56, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Whywesuckcover.jpg)

⚠

Thanks for uploading Image:Whywesuckcover.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) 04:25, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

File source problem with File:WarHammerMontlhy.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:WarHammerMontlhy.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, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4. If the image is copyrighted and non-free, the image will be deleted 48 hours after 16:52, 2 May 2010 (UTC) per speedy deletion criterion F7. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 16:52, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
