Hi. I've taken the liberty of replacing the welcome notice that you were given in 2006 because it seemed to render your talk page nearly unreadable. If you prefer it like it was, please feel free to just revert to the last version before I stopped by, and it'll all be back to the status quo. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 17:38, 29 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Possibly unfree Image:Ferrari 312t3.jpg

An image that you uploaded or altered, Image:Ferrari 312t3.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree images. If the image's copyright status cannot be verified, it may be deleted. Please go to its page to provide the necessary information on the source or licensing of this image (if you have any), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

Numerous other images that you uploaded have also been listed for deletion. Do not upload images from the web — in general, images on the web are copyrighted by default and are unusable in Wikipedia. —Steven G. Johnson 02:34, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image Tagging for Image:Lotus 56.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Lotus 56.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.

New articles

Hey, I've noticed you've been creating lots of new articles on cars, and you've been doing a great job! (I've taken the liberty of fixing some grammar, but that's minor.) Could I ask you to cite whatever source(s) you used for all that information? If you don't know how, I'll be happy to help you out! Cheers, Melchoir 06:12, 19 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image Tagging Image:Williams FW11.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Williams FW11.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading 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 media, consider checking 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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. feydey 12:35, 20 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Unspecified source for Image:Williams fw07.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Williams fw07.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, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, 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 files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 09:59, 13 February 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Alexj2002 09:59, 13 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

F1 car pages

Hi. I see that you are adding a number of pages on F1 cars, nice one! Just one quick comment: we have an infobox template Template:Racing car for use on such pages. While the copy-paste method that you have used for creating infoboxes does work, it makes updating and reformatting boxes extremely hard. It also greatly increases the size of each page, and buries the actual information in a mass of code. If you could use the template in future, other editors would be very grateful! Keep up the good work. Pyrope 08:51, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mayfield, Staffordshire

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Mayfield, Staffordshire, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.ashbourne-town.com/villages/mayfield/index.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.)

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page.

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.
