License tagging for Image:CCP Invitation.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:CCP Invitation.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands 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:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 06:06, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

I removed the two JPG files from Creative Community Project. Both were scans I made from leaflets I have (in their original form). There is no explicit copyright claim on either piece of paper, not any explicit author. Until I figure out how to handle this, I will leave the two 'image tags' commented out in the source page.Calbookaddict 23:51, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Why?

Why would you add such a blurry out of focus image as ?? 72.91.234.57 02:22, 28 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

ATA Carnet

Another editor has added the "{{prod}}" template to the article ATA Carnet, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{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.

Speedy deletion of ATA Carnet

A tag has been placed on ATA Carnet requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later." You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

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 (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's 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.

California Republic

Thanks for your excellent quote on the California Republic page. I won't touch the page until you are done - I hope I didn't kill one of your edits. Anyway, I plan to eventually create SVGs for all the Bear Flags - Ide Flag, Storm Flag, Swasey Flag, etc... Have a great day. - DevinCook (talk) 06:02, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with File:Brewster Diane-LITB 008.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Brewster Diane-LITB 008.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

File copyright problem with File:CrystalSpringsReservoir-Montara-Pacifica.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:CrystalSpringsReservoir-Montara-Pacifica.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 created in your upload log.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 12:28, 7 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Possibly unfree File:McNeeRanch-MontaraStateBeach-TrailheadSign.jpg

If the file's copyright status cannot be verified, it may be deleted. You may find more information on the file description page. You are welcome to add comments to its entry at the discussion if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 23:27, 11 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for December 17

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited John C. Frémont, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Tarrytown (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
