File permission problem with File:Executive Director of SIPRI North America - Chantal de Jong Oudraat.jpg

[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Executive Director of SIPRI North America - Chantal de Jong Oudraat.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.  Ronhjones  (Talk) 00:19, 2 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Media coverage of Bahraini uprising

[edit]

Wow, great job with that! I'm taking a break from studying to thank you for this enormous effort and to give you some links to articles which could help you in your research (some might be duplicated): [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9]. Arabic: [10], [11], [12]. Mohamed CJ (talk) 12:16, 5 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Also, death of a citizen journalist: [13], [14], [15], [16], [17], [18]. Mohamed CJ (talk) 13:11, 5 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Here are some in-depth articles by Al Jazeera English: [19], [20], [21]. Mohamed CJ (talk) 11:33, 6 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure if you're interested at all in this, but anyway, Bahrain Mirror published 3 articles today about Al Wasat media coverage of the protests. This is important, because it is the only independent local newspaper i.e., the only local voice which covered protests in detail. They are in Arabic, but Google translator is usually 70%+ accurate. [22], [23], [24]. Mohamed CJ (talk) 11:41, 6 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
