File copyright problem with File:Mineralized Tissues.JPG

Thank you for uploading File:Mineralized Tissues.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. FASTILY_sock^(TALK) 14:42, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

Re:Picture deletion

Hi BMDE 501. What you need is a copyright tag(s) denoting how the file is licensed/copyrighted. Since what you have created is a Derivative Work, you need to go back to each of the individual images you found on commons, find out how the images were copyrighted, and apply those same licenses (except for PD licenses for PD images) to the file you created. Hope that helps to clarify things a bit. Regards, FASTILY ^(TALK) 16:02, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

Check out WP:ICTIC. Simply copy and paste the desired tag(s) (for example, "{{GFDL-self}}" is a full tag) onto the image description page. -FASTILY ^(TALK) 16:37, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

The licenses look terrific! I have adjusted a few of them accordingly but apart from that, no issues. Just one more thing though; under source on File:Mineralized Tissues.JPG, you indicate that the image is only self made. It'd be great if you could also include links of each of the images you used to create the collage. Other than that, you're good to go. Thanks for going through all the trouble to get the licensing and attributions straight. Derivatives works are made rather complicated by policy but you're doing a great job with File:Mineralized Tissues.JPG. Best, FASTILY ^(TALK) 22:54, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

No problem! Just happy to have been able to help. -FASTILY ^(TALK) 20:07, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 14:15, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
