License tagging for Image:Los paraguayos.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Los paraguayos.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. 16:07, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Jewish astronauts

A tag has been placed on Jewish astronauts, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing no content to the reader. Please note that external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article don't count as content. 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.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Image copyright problem with Image:Fame.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:Fame.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 image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

From Colin_marks: I have added sections called "Rationale of fair use for Georgie Fame's Compilation album cover" and "Licensing". I hope this covers the copyright issue. I'm sure you'll tell me if I'm wrong.

Hello Colin, I assume the photo is your own? If you have a scanner you can set it to scan at a higher resolution and that should give a better image. RRegards Gustav von Humpelschmumpel (talk) 00:04, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. When you recently edited Bright Eyes (Art Garfunkel song), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Martin Rosen (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.
