Image Tagging Image:Simon Jones.jpg

This image may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Simon Jones.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then 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. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. 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 unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Piped wikilinks

It is not necessary to use a piped wikilink (i.e., using the vertical line: |) when the left side and right side of the pipe are identical, as you did with [[The New Guy|The New Guy]]. You get the same result without the pipe and the repeated phrase: [[The New Guy]]. It's a waste of Wikipedia resources. Thank you. Ward3001 (talk) 14:26, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
