Orphaned fair use image (Image:US postal service john wayne.jpg)
[edit]Thanks for uploading Image:US postal service john wayne.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Unspecified source for Image:Anna nicole.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading Image:Anna nicole.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 21:18, 9 February 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Abu badali (talk) 21:18, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
- Apparently the page didn't save originally, with the source of the photo. If you had looked down to my edit summary, it states that the image was from a Trimspa advertisement, a point I've now elaborated on in the image description. I'm curious that you didn't complain about the original file uploaded as anna_nicole.jpg. Why is that? -- Zanimum 14:55, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
- I haven't complain because I haven't seen it. As soon as I reach an unsorced image, I tag it.
- By the way, you said on the edit summary that "No other free image has been found". Which sources do you use for searching for free images before uploading copyrighted protected material? --Abu badali (talk) 16:15, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
- Primarily Flickr's Creative Commons search, and occasionally just their general search, at which point I try and convince the person to relicense their image. -- Zanimum 16:36, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
- Haven't you noticed this one? By the way, why did you reuploaded it under a different name on commons? Why not use the same file name? --Abu badali (talk) 05:24, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
- Primarily Flickr's Creative Commons search, and occasionally just their general search, at which point I try and convince the person to relicense their image. -- Zanimum 16:36, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
- Abu, here's the timeline of what happened.
- I went to the Anna Nicole Smith article, and discovered it used an image that didn't qualify for fair use, as it was a stock photo. I found the advertisement image of Anna, and uploaded it as fair use. Minutes later, I searched Flickr for original images of Smith. I found the red carpet image. I contacted the creator of the image, and asked his permission to relicense it as CC-BY. I log off the computer. You come to my talk page, warn me that I need fair use rationale. Another admin deletes the image entirely.
- I log on to the computer again, find out that the rationale I typed in didn't save properly, and see the image is deleted. I restore the image, and quickly re-write fair use rationale for the image. I then re-add the image to the article.
- I then go to Flickr, find out that the photographer has agreed to release his image under a free license. I upload the image to Wikimedia Commons, and then use that image of Wikipedia.
- Why wouldn't I change the file name? When I saved the Flickr image to my system, it's name was a series of random letters and numbers. I changed it so that the name would be unique and descriptive. I still link to the original image, to credit the source. -- Zanimum 14:44, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
- Kudos to you for contacting the photographer asking him to release the image under a free licensing. When I asked about changing the name, that was because you had uploaded the same image as Image:Anna Nicole Smith MTV Music Awards 2005 crop.jpg (in commons, now deleted) when the better named Image:Anna Nicole Smith.jpg was already available. But this is no big deal now.
- But the point is, why did you rush up to upload an unfree image and even state in the rationale that "No free equivalent could be found" if you were still in the works of acquiring a free image? Can't an article stay some days without an image? and Does "No free equivalent could be found" means "So far, I haven't found one, although I have a good chance to do"?
- Again kudos for contacting the photographer and asking him for the image. There should be a barnstar specially for this kind of thing. --Abu badali (talk) 18:22, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
- Why wouldn't I change the file name? When I saved the Flickr image to my system, it's name was a series of random letters and numbers. I changed it so that the name would be unique and descriptive. I still link to the original image, to credit the source. -- Zanimum 14:44, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
- Well, it was a case that if I had just deleted the existing image, and didn't find a replacement, then dozens of other people may have uploaded their own random images, claiming fair use. Having a less than perfect placeholder satisfied other Wikipedians in the interim. -- Zanimum 18:43, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
Dr. Seuss
[edit]Awhile back you deleted a section on the Dr. Seuss, concerning the Seuss Celebration DVD. Your reason for doing so was you considered the info unimportant. Aren't mentions of VHS/DVD releases usually considered within the rules? Just because you personally consider info unimportant doesn't make deleting it ok. If it's spamming or a rumor then it's a different story. 71.115.236.185 05:52, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
- It would be much better to have this as a seperate article on the DVD. While this DVD is important, in that it's the complete first release of this collection, it's not terribly important in the overall story of his life. Please feel free to create a seperate article with this text. -- Zanimum 14:51, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit]On the Anny images, that's really a step forward for Wikinews!--Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 20:00, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
Cosplay images licenses
[edit]Zanimum, could you take a look at images Image:Ska naru lounge.jpg and Image:Ska naru leotard shiny.jpg. You say we have permission to use them from "the webmaster", but you tagged these images with a free creative commons license. Are you sure these "webmasters" really released these images under the terms of said license or did they just give permission for the image to be used on Wikipedia?
If they really released under a free license, could you edit the image's description pages to include verifiable information on that, like an otrs number or a website where they author state they're releasing those images?
Also, image Image:Digimon_mimi_kigurumi.jpg was posted to commons with the only source info being a link back to Wikipedia. Can you fix that?
Thanks, --Abu badali (talk) 12:24, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
- Hi, did you have the time to take a look at those? --Abu badali (talk) 16:16, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
- I've removed the unverifiable licenses tags. --Abu badali (talk) 06:37, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
Your Name in Greek
[edit]Zanimum, you state on your user page that your name in greek means "νικοτίνη περισσότερο". As I am of greek ethnicity, I have to tell you that the proper grammar is "περισσότερη νικοτίνη". If you wrote it the other way deliberately, I apologise. By the way, I don't mean to offend; I just want to corect this (minor, actually) inaccuracy. Please don't take this the wrong way.--Orthologist 20:54, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
- I'm definitely not going to take this the wrong way, this is cool! I never thought anyone would see/comment on that. I don't speak Greek, so I didn't know what was what. At some point my name was in a press release or something that was translated into Greek. I thought it was cool, pasted it on my user page. Thanks so much for letting me know how it's actually supposed to be spelled. -- Zanimum 15:56, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
Inupiaq wiki
[edit]Hi, I've been working with the Inupiaq wiki for the past 2 days as an anonymous user. I noticed the featured article, Iqsrabutilik (Canadian Geese), doesn't seem to have Inupiaq writing, although I've only relyed on translation. I can tell written language styles from others, and it does not seem like Inupiaq. I wouldn't know how to find out what it is. Don't worry, I'm not making it a big concern. If you can write back that would be nice. SKREAM 01:47, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit]Another editor has listed an article that you have been involved in editing, Shin Wen-Bing, at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Shin Wen-Bing. Please look there to see why this is, if you are interested in whether it should be deleted. Thank you. --Eastmain 02:39, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
Rollback on Sesame Street Live
[edit]Hi! You rolled me back on Sesame Street Live. I thought I was reverting the same fairly meaningless edits that this user inserts from time to time. I'm going to go back and make the edits without using rollback. I don't really see how one random date and location from a multi-year tour of a show is meaningful in this article. Please let me know if you feel otherwise. kmccoy (talk) 03:37, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
- As far as I know, those were the first date and locations of the first production for each show, where the tour started off. -- Zanimum 14:28, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
- The information is incorrect. The tours start off in the late summer/early fall, and I've never known one to start at the Fox in Detroit. Many of them are built and rehearsed (sometimes with a dress rehearsal for invited public), and on the first year of its rotation, usually open in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, I think. There's a multi-year cycle that the tours go through, with small alterations from year to year. kmccoy (talk) 01:00, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
AfD nomination of Cherokee Wikipedia
[edit]An editor has nominated Cherokee Wikipedia, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not"). Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Articles on invidiual Wikipedia language editions and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it.

2006 Gemini Awards
[edit]A {{afd}} tag has been placed on [[:{{{1}}}]], requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. All Wikipedians can join the debate at Articles for deletion, where articles asserted to be inappropriate to Wikipedia are discussed. You are encouraged to [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/{{{1}}}|submit your opinion]], and remember that Articles for Deletion debates are not a vote. You can also leave a note on [[Talk:{{{1}}}|the article's talk page]] explaining your position. Please do not remove the deletion tag yourself, but don't feel inhibited from editing the article, particularly if doing so makes it clear that it is a useful contribution to an encyclopaedia. I think this article can be kept if the list is improved. Cheers, John Vandenberg 14:15, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Your recent vote at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2006 Gemini Awards
[edit]I don't usually contact editors about their votes, but I took offense at your suggestion that my nomination of this article for deletion had some anti-Canadian bias. I am Canadian. And if there was a comparably ridiculous article relating to the Emmy Awards, I would nominate it for deletion. (In fact, I recently nominated several Golden Globe categories for deletion.) Did you even look at the article in question? If you re-visit the discussion page, you'll see that another user has added a comment to clarify your mistaken impression of why the article was nominated for deletion. With all due respect, perhaps next time you vote on something, you can do your homework and avoid insinuating ill-intentions on the part of the nominee. Just a thought. --Vbd (talk) 15:46, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
Aha. It occurred to me after I left the above message that I should check the article history. Lo and behold, you are its author. I apologize if you took my Afd as a personal affront on your contribution. However, the article does not fit into the existing structure for the Gemini Awards in terms of categories and articles. Moreover, it is merely a list of nominees for one particular award. Lists of nominees are not generally considered notable -- even for Emmy Awards -- and this particular list is for a popularity contest vote! It doesn't even include the winner. Again, I understand that you may feel some personal attachment to the article, but I still don't think it passes the "what WP is not" criteria.--Vbd (talk) 15:56, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
PRITHWINDRA MUKHERJEE
[edit]Thanks for including the information on the SAICE. Are you connected with it?--BobClive 08:25, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Requests for article updates on the help desk
[edit]Hi. I thought you might want to know that some requests for updates in articles about organizations are now coming from IP addresses, and while some of them include email and phone numbers, it's been custom to delete such info, and I'm not sure how we should verify what's given to us, especially in cases where the subjects in question do not show up in web searches. What's your take on that? Thanks. Xiner (talk, email) 03:09, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
- Sorry, didn't see this until today. IP addresses are okay, I think. Deleting phone numbers and emails is fine. By "the subjects", you mean you can't find references to the verify the people trying to correct the information are indeed with the company?
- How many people have sent corrections, to your estimation? Have most been understanding and understandable, or furious and confusing? -- Zanimum 18:09, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, most are courteous in their requests. What I meant by "subject" is both the identity of the poster and the information they are requesting to be placed into articles. It's even more troublesome if neither their claim nor the article's is sourced.
- I've seen less such posts recently than a few weeks ago. Xiner (talk, email) 18:46, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
- Good to hear they're courteous, certainly not always the case on OTRS. That is a troubling point, I agree. I'll take it towards the Wikimedia Foundation Communications Committee, see what we can brainstorm. -- Zanimum 18:52, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
- Cool, yeah, I couldn't think of a solution, and thought you should know about it. Thanks. Xiner (talk, email) 19:13, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
Your article Big Bird in China
[edit]Your article Big Bird in China has been proposed for deletion "Wikipedia:No original research & does NOT include Wikipedia:Reliable sources for WP:Verifiability of content." Please add references, or it will be deleted.--Parker007 07:35, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
- Hi Zanimum - I came across the notice on Big Bird in China and I've been trying to find various sources. I've got a several links, but don't know how include them since I'm not sure what items should be cited. I'm getting Spinney's book this evening and so I should be able to at least cite the one on the writing credit with Jim Slone. If you want me to put the links here so you can check them and apply as you think fit, let me know. Thanks. --EarthPerson 20:20, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
- EarthPerson here again. I went ahead and added the references to the article and removed the prod template. Let me know what you think. Cheers. --EarthPerson 22:13, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
Hamilton Southeastern Schools
[edit]Am I doing something wrong in adding school pages under Hamilton Southeastern Schools? My students wrote articles for a project and I wanted to publish them.
- We have a policy that all information must be cited to verifiable sources. (Wikipedia:Citing sources) Does the school board publish information on how many rooms are in each schools, and the demographics of the students? -- Zanimum 18:59, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
"Badbio" Template
[edit]Thats a template called {{badbio}}. I saw someone else using it a while ago, and have been finding it very useful, epsecially in those cases were new users create autobiographical pages by mistake. Cheers Danski14 19:41, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article IC University, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Listifying
[edit]Thanks for the constructive and sensible suggestion. While RobotG is "very experienced" at deleting categories, it is still learning how best to turn those deleted categories into lists, so all suggestions are welcome! I will investigate the possibility of making it capable of creating a subsection in a relevant article; sometimes it will probably be more appropriate to create the list! (The motivation behind getting the bot to do this is the huge backlog at Category:Categories to be listified then deleted.) Thanks for your interest. Best wishes, --RobertG ♬ talk 14:51, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
- Actually, in the mean time I've been renaming a lot of them as Crew of ___, so that it encourages other entries. Would that be easier to reprogram? -- Zanimum 14:54, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
- I don't think "Crew of _____" is very good wording. You then end up with things like "Crew of Star Trek," which means something very different. CovenantD 18:37, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
- That would be Crew of the USS Enterprise. Other than Firefly, I can't think of any show where the name of the featured vessel would be the same as the title. -- Zanimum 18:47, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
- I don't think "Crew of _____" is very good wording. You then end up with things like "Crew of Star Trek," which means something very different. CovenantD 18:37, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
replying here to keep thread from splitting
- Semantics - many readers wouldn't make the distinction. Say "crew of Star Trek" and Kirk, McCoy and Spock come to mind. The point is, "crew" is too vague a term in this context. "Production crew" might work, but it still removes the word list from the title which is all these are. CovenantD 18:55, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
Arbitration re: Abu badali
[edit]Hi. I am writing you because you were one of the respondants on the RfC about Abu badali that was started back in November. There has been no substantive comment there for over a month and User:Abu badali has never bothered to respond to the RfC. The last comment on the talk page of the RfC was a suggestion to take it to arbitration, which is what I propose we do. Accordingly, I have created a shell/draft listing to add to the list of Arbitration Committee matters here. I've listed your new there, preliminarily, as a complaintant. If you are not interested in participating, please remove your name. If you are, please add your comments as we must prepare a 500 word summary of the case. Thanks for your attention - Jord 15:33, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
Just wondering
[edit]Why did you indef block an IP? [1] it only has one contrib [2] Betacommand (talk • contribs • Bot) 19:10, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
- I've changed the block to three months. While the vandalism itself is not at the level that I'd normally give more than a warning, it caused an entire town in my province to freak out. I'm doing this in my attempt to woo the media and mayor of the town to encourage citizens to collaborate on the Sioux Lookout, Ontario article, and build it up as a community. -- Zanimum 13:28, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
- Blocks are not punitive, they're preventative. Your description sounds as if you've performed a block to 'punish' the IP user. Additionally, as it's an anonymous IP, it's very, very unlikely that the person who made the edit is still assigned to that address, so you're probably causing collateral damage. Finally, a long block because of the reaction is improper. The vandalism was fairly standard stuff, nothing illegal or particularly bad as far as some of the stuff we've seen in the past. Please use your tools in a level headed manner and don't let other people's panic set the scale of your response. - CHAIRBOY (☎) 13:37, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
- I see you've edited since I left the above message, but the block hasn't been shortened yet. Just a quick heads up that if I don't hear from you, I'll be shortening the block myself in just a little bit. I'd like to avoid stepping on your toes, but the block length is excessive for an IP (plus the other concerns I shared above). Regards, - CHAIRBOY (☎) 14:35, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
- Be bold, whatever. -- Zanimum 16:21, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
- Could you clarify whether you understand why your block was a problem? I'm not trying to be a jerk here, but your response above is less than encouraging. We've got a responsibility to use our bit wisely, and I'm concerned that you may not be following the letter or spirit of the block policy. If that's so, we can work together to clear up any misconceptions. - CHAIRBOY (☎) 14:47, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, I'm fully aware. I simply meant that you didn't have to ask before doing. -- Zanimum 14:48, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
- Roger that, just wanted to touch base. I like to ask the blocking admin first anytime I undo something, it's a good way to avoid the dreaded wheel war, heh. Best regards, and thanks for the heads up. - CHAIRBOY (☎) 14:52, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for volunteering to help with the Signpost. You expressed interest in helping with the In the news column. One place to start is with Wikipedia:Press coverage; however, that page does not cover everything. You'll also want to use a service such as Google or Yahoo News- search for "Wikipedia" or "Wikimedia", and look specifically for articles that mention Wikipedia directly (not just using us as a source for a piece of trivia). Many other users have expressed an interest in helping with In the news; I've set up a sandbox page for all contributors to help out on here: Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Newsroom/ITN. Feel free to help out; I expect that this column will be a collaborative effort. You can work on this all throughout the week; your final work should be finished by Monday at about 17:00 UTC.
If you have any questions at all, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thanks again for volunteering.
I'm aware, by the way, that you know most of this, but I'm too lazy to write one specifically for you :) Ral315 » 05:02, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
Sesame Street Birthdays
[edit]I must commend you on your work on the Sesame St. and related articles. I feel it has had a huge impact on society and is worth documenting. Just wondering however, if you could share your sources for the original Sesame Street character birthdays article. Its a minor point, but I noticed Oscars birthday was changed without explanation. I'm wondering which is correct, and where these dates came from initially. -- Many thanks - Trevor Ian Peacock 06:37, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
- Apologies for the delay, I've been scattered about the last little bit. My sources for these birthdays are Sesame Street Unpaved, and when this book didn't provide answers, Sesame Street Magazine. However the book, I've since learned, has it's own share of mistakes, despite being an officially approved publication.
- These birthdays were first decided on as a way of filling up the Sesame Street Magazine calendars, to fill in space between MLK Day, Groundhog Day, and Flag Day. While most b-days stayed static, some jumped around a bit. So it's really iffy, the whole thing. -- Zanimum 14:45, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
Iqualik Wikipedia
[edit]Hi, I've been contributing to the Iñupiak Wikipedia greatly both anonymously and under the name EnglishItalianoNihongoRusski.
Using the Eskimo writing key on the Iñupiak dictionary, I have come up with the letters that can made into the name "Wikipedia" and "The free encyclopedia. The sounds:
- Ui = ui like quick
- qi = q sounds like k but farther in throat, and when i is next to q, it makes a sound like is in English.
- pi = p sounds like English p, "i" alone makes sound like i in police.
- ti = same as pi
- a = when alone, makes ä sound

AfD nomination of Animal Crackers (1937 comic strip)
[edit]An editor has nominated Animal Crackers (1937 comic strip), an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion.

Wikimedia Canada Chapter
[edit]Hi there.
Just wanted to ping you about the formation of WM Canada. On re-reading my comments, they may have seemed a bit more agressive then I intended, and I wanted to make sure you hadn't taken it that way. I want a true purpose to emerge, some goal that everyone (sponsors, grant agencies, volunteers) can feel good about tying their can to. I'm not trying to usurp the groups work, but rather breathe new life into it and make it a reality. I have a vision of what I want to do, but that doesn't mean there isn't either a better vision, or other visions that could be realized too. v:User:Historybff 18:15, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

- We as in who. I haven't been following the actual content added and removed, just the fact there is a battle about content. Is Disability Alert a real-life organization, or just a blog? -- Zanimum 18:49, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
Disability Alert is a real organization founded in 2006 to do public advocacy on behalf of 19,000 Islanders with disabilities. I personally have been working in disability organizations since 2000. We do personal advocacy like prepresenting the disabled in tribunals that don't require a lawyer. Mainly we do public education of the need for better disability supports and lobbying government to change their policies.
Last year the government cut $1 million in disability supports funding. We lobbied to get it returned: they added $900K. We also got scooters added to the list, the screening tool improved and the review process under review. Sdpate 20:00, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
- I appreciate learning what I need to know to make a proper entry and the time you take. I am a newbie. However, I feel I am not being treated with respect. You asked me to document my single concise paragraph. In order to do that it became 3 paragraphs with 21 citations. It took me 6 hours to get that material together. Then you appear to berate me for that - too much weight. I prefer the short paragraph although the separate article has its value.
There are some subjective comments about our group and me.
To add insult to injury, I am the only one who edits this page that appears to be following rules. The rest of the article is pure narrative with only minor citations that are not independant. People delete material, even your edits.
I know you are doing a great job. Please assume that I am doing my best to be ethical and compliant. Sdpate 00:42, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Michonne.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading Image:Michonne.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-no-disclaimers}} 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.

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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.

Pat Binns page
[edit]The page on PEI Premier Pat Binns contains a link to PEI Disability Alert. Please note, the PEI Disability Alert is a one man operation. It was created by Stephen Pate and he is the sole participant of the group today. It is not a registered non-profit organization as he claims in the article he has written about himself. As I understood, writing Wiki entries on yourself was forbidden. The page on disability alert appears to be more of a personal blog than anything else and should be deleted. As well, the link to said page from the biography of Pat Binns considerably exagerates the impact Pate has had on PEI. This link is not warranted.
There is considerable information on Pat Binns that is lacking. He lowered UPEI tuition by 10%, he lowered taxes by $34 million, he negotiated a new equalization "base formula" with Prime Minister Stephen Harper (which delivered $40 million to PEI's health and social services departments). The Premier is also building a new hospital in Western PEI and is creditted with saving the education system on PEI. (Binns turned the 1996 election around with a promise to build a new school in Summerside PEI to replace one with mold. This was done. Binns also insisted on maintaining rural schools despite the cost and poor fiscal management. Rural development is a centerpeiece of the Binns legacy).
None of these points, which are synonomous with the Pat Binns government, are listed. Yet some guys one man clown show is front and center. If the article is not changed to reflect the truth, it should be considered libellous slander and immediately removed. Please note that the article in its current form is not only inaccurate, it is also dominated by one mans crusade against the Progressive Conservative government of PEI. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.210.4.228 (talk) 15:32, 24 April 2007 (UTC).
- There is no link to Disability Alert in Premier Binns' article. There's a link to Disability rights in Prince Edward Island, but that's a legitimate topic altogether separate from his blog. I assume that when the province was founded in 1873, there was at least one person with some form of a disability, and so from then on to 2006 or whenever, the topic is unrelated to Mr. Pate's unorthodox measures.
- I've removed the see also link, but the words "to Islanders with disabilities" now point to this article.
- Yes, I do realise that it's all a one-man operation. I've repeatedly questioned him on the topic, with no response otherwise.
- Regarding tuition, taxes, equalisation, etc., yes, I agree the article is sorely lacking without this content, which clearly has been of importance to the province over his terms in office. I invite you to add it to the article, and link to news coverage of these advances, so people can read about them in further depth.
- Nothing has ever stopped you or anyone else from adding this content to the article. All we ask is that everything is properly referenced and contains no POV. -- Zanimum 16:33, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
- I'm just noticing that you were the editor who removed valid references in the article, pointing to the Canadian Encyclopedia and the PC bios of Premier Binns. I'll point you to WP:CITE to show just how picky we are that everything is referenced. The article isn't a good example of our goals, but some references are better than the no-reference format you seemingly tried to push. -- Zanimum 16:46, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
- This page contains is a self-justification for the campaign by Zanimum against Disability Alert and its founder Stephen Pate. Zanimum has some link with the PC Party of PEI, Premier’s Office and or PC Youth so his efforts might be partisan political, which would also explain his desire to add glowing phrases to Pat Binns, none of them substantiated.
- Zanimum is a classic case of non NPOV. I have filed an official complaint. If nothing comes of it, it will be a testament to how the administrator editors can high jack Wikipedia for their own purposes.
- A few sample misstatements from above. If you read all the comments on all the pages you will discover that Zanimum knows the truth: he merely seeks to distort it here and other places for partisan purposes and to exonerate himself among his peers.
- a. “PEI Disability Alert is a one man operation” – not true, we are referred to in numerous newspaper and TV articles as a “group” – there is a picture in the Guardian and video on CBC of the protest in April. Shows people. What is his purpose in trying to minimize legitimate activist activity? Zanimum knows for sure cause he’s on PEI, well his Tory spies are here.
- b. “he is the sole participant of the group today” – same lie, some of the articles and blogs even mention people’s names but not for Zanimum
- c. “registered non-profit organization as he claims in the article he has written about himself” called a straw man, Zanimum sets it up and then knocks it down. No claim has ever been made of “registered non-profit” status and it is in our policies not to register, which means with CRA. The government doesn't register pure advocacy groups in Canada for tax purposes.
- d. “The page on disability alert appears to be more of a personal blog than anything else and should be deleted.” – misleading statement since the article was called Disability Rights on PEI. It spanned from the 70’s until now with 50+ NPOV government or media type references. Misleading on the deletion since I removed all the material myself. It is my copyright and I have no intention of having my writing reviewed by a partisan follower of Pat Binns. Zanimum is trying to re-write history: “yeah I was the guy who asked for the page to get deleted.” Sounds like a broom covering tracks as we say.
- e. “some guys one man clown show’ – Pejorative statements which are against Wiki policy. I’m not sure how social activism becomes a clown show, surely not one man since I always have at least one person with me to protect me from Tory goons like the one who whacked me on Saturday –see the blog. Perhaps, Zanimum is a closet hater of people in wheelchairs so he sees me as a freak, someone who took the best parking lot.
- f. “If the article is not changed to reflect the truth, it should be considered libellous slander and immediately removed.” Another straw man since he knows I have removed the article. Only a partisan or person who hates the disabled would think an article on Disability Rights on PEI spanning 40 years is libelous. The laws on libel allow fair comment on public figures. The article had 50+ references not one of them false. Sweep, sweep.
- g. “it is also dominated by one mans crusade against the Progressive Conservative government of PEI.” OK so another repetition of the one-man lie, then the attempt to mis-cast me. Our work is to reform the Disability Support Program not the PC government.
- We do not publish our membership list or show it even to legitimate media. Unlike the false claim from Zanimum no CBC reporter has ever asked the question. Why do we not publish? There is no law says we have to. Members of organizations don’t usually divulge that type of information. I’m a Rotarian: our membership list is kept private, although a little bit of sleuthing will provide some names. As well, we are a social activist group. In the partisan politics of PEI, members and their families can be targeted for government retribution. PEI is like a third-world banana republic. When Binns came in he fired 850 people who they thought might be Liberal. Do you think many people want to be “outed” as official members of Disability Alert. Now that I know Zanimum is a spy for the Tories, I’m glad I stuck to my guns.
"Zanimum is like a one-man vendetta. Not content with Wikipedia harassment, he tried to crash our blog. Not happy there, he left a derogatory and self-congratulatory comment on the Guardian http://www.theguardian.pe.ca/index.cfm?sid=24649&sc=110
- 49.Nick Moreau from Brampton, ON writes: Hi all,
- Many of you wanted to know the Disability Alert membership numbers; Pate has only replied We don't publish our membership. Which of course none of you were asking for, you were only asking for quantity, not examples.
- I was told that when the CBC asked to quickly see the membership list, he either couldn't or wouldn't even show them a list of any sort. I doubt the reporter was wanting anything more than to just glance and see how many records there were.
- Nick Canadian press contact Wikimedia Foundation
- Does that sound like an unbiased editor of Wikipedia. No it sounds like the rant of a man on a mission. Zanimum’s mission isn’t Wikipedia. He’s charging off on all directions to slay the man in the wheel chair. Our noble knight.Use of his official title for a personal vendetta sounds like a small man in need of an ego boost. Or did Wikepedia ask him to go down to PEI and sort things out.
- Cheers gentleman, I am off to the final oral arguments in the case of 4 autistic children and their families who have taken the Binn’s government to the Human Rights Commission. Then I am going to hand out flyers at the Legislature asking our elected members to consider seniors in the Disability Support Plan. Then to nap for people with PPS must nap. Afterwards to a political rally to hand out flyers on our Tour of Hope. Later a little late night performance of “Chimes of Freedom” and the “Disability Blues” at a local bar. News at 7, all except the bar performance.

Image:Romeoleblanc.gif
[edit]Thanks for uploading Image:Romeoleblanc.gif. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the image description page and edit it to add
{{Replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template. - On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Unspecified source for Image:Romeoleblanc.gif
[edit]Thanks for uploading Image:Romeoleblanc.gif. 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-no-disclaimers}} 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 16:23, 8 May 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Abu badali (talk) 16:23, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
Hello. I have placed an unreferenced tag on the Mickey Mouse's name in other languages article. My reason for this is that I have found some translations of Mickey's name to be incorrect. An example of this is the Spanish version. At least in Puerto Rico, Mickey's name is still Mickey Mouse. Still, if you were to translate the name to Spanish, it would be "Mickey el Ratón", not "Ratón Mickey". Please provide some references for the translations before removing the tag. Thank you. Yours truly, BoricuaeddieTalk • Contribs • Spread the love! 14:55, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
- That's good to see that you've noticed some errors, I assume there could be many. I didn't create the content, I only split existing content from Mickey Mouse into a new article. -- Zanimum 19:16, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Wikinews reports blog
[edit]Hi Nicholas,
on the blog, there is a section "about the blog", I wondered if you could edit it to display a little explanation, possibly a link to wikinews.org, and most importantly, a notice that all images and posts are licensed under the cc-by-2.5 unless mentioned otherwise?

Hello Zanimum, an automated process has found an image or media file tagged as nonfree media, such as fair use. The image (Image:Tv sesame street Berts Pigeon Call lion.jpg) was found at the following location: User:Zanimum/Sesame Street Muppet Skits, 1990-1994. This image or media will be removed per statement number 9 of our non-free content policy. The image or media will be replaced with Image:NonFreeImageRemoved.svg , so your formatting of your userpage should be fine. The image that was replaced will not be automatically deleted, but it could be deleted at a later date. Articles using the same image should not be affected by my edits. I ask you to please not re-add the image to your userpage and could consider finding a replacement image licensed under either the Creative Commons or GFDL license or released to the public domain. Thanks for your attention and cooperation. User:Gnome (Bot)-talk 04:58, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Francisalbertsinatradoeshisthing.jpg
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f7/Nuvola_apps_important.svg/70px-Nuvola_apps_important.svg.png)
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Francisalbertsinatradoeshisthing.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages 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 fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

List of polio survivors
[edit]Thanks for your support. I'll have another look for Judith E. Heumann photos, but that was the best I could find at the time, that I was reasonably sure was OK to copy.

Cheers, Colin°Talk 22:28, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
- Sadly, no I don't know the birth date for David. (I have his personal email address, and I could use it, but I'll try the press office for now, for the government.)
- As for Heumann, that likely is the only image you'll find. Would you like me to reupload it as a JPG though, which is Wikipedia's preferred format for photos...? -- Zanimum 16:29, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
- Sure, if it is no trouble. It has a transparent background that I suspect you'll need to change to white as I don't think JPG has transparencies. Cheers, Colin°Talk 16:33, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
- Would you like a transparency in the file? I can save it as a PNG, and retain that element. Either way's plenty fine with me. -- Zanimum 16:38, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
- I can't see any need for transparency for my purpose. Whatever is smaller and looks OK I suppose. Colin°Talk 16:44, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Don Murphy
[edit]Thank you for fixing that. The fact that there might be a sane Editor like yourself never really entered my thoughts. Appreciated!ThisNeverEnds 07:07, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
- I'm curious as to your involvement with this article. Can you explain the reason for this edit? -- Zanimum 15:29, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
- My involvement is purely my distaste for the previous edit summary. --Golbez 15:34, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
- So it was entirely that very odd edit summary that made you revert the edit, nothing to do with the actual content? You have never been contacted about this article by Murphy or any of his fans? -- Zanimum 15:58, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
- First of all, I'm not entirely sure why it matters. Second of all, I was alerted to his ranting, and decided to see what he was ranting about, and saw that edit summary. I wasn't contacted by him until after I made the edit, on my talk page as you can see. As for the content, I saw the editor had reverted many editors worth of work on the pure derision of "committee", which I disliked. --Golbez 16:18, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
- I have to concur with Golbez, there was no reason for the original edit adding that text back into the article. If it was done "by committee", that would denote some level of consensus and furthermore the text just isn't terribly relevant. I say this, by the way, as someone who blocked the above sockpuppet who thanked Golbez.--Isotope23 16:36, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
- I agree the content about this fight, whether addressing a real fight or a persistent rumour about one, should only be very minimal in the article.

- What committee had removed the content? Unless Arbcom was involved, the only group attention his article received was through the Administrator's noticeboard. For all I know, the person who readded the content was full of themselves, and I don't support them at all. However is it not factual? Is it not citable? -- Zanimum 16:53, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Tv goof troop pete.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages 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 non-free media lacking such an explanation 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. After Midnight 0001 16:07, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Campaign workers writing in wikipedia, probably writing biased stuff
[edit]There are almost certainly campaign workers on Wikipedia. I just saw in the newspaper about Edwards' wife asking a campaign worker to address something she saw written up in the internet on a blog. If they are fighting blogs, they are almost certainly fighting on wikipedia. I wouldn't be surprised if all campaigns are doing this, not just the Edwards. Nick, check that out.
Asking candidates questions as part of wikinews could be a bad idea. It is already too easy for a few campaign workers or plain volunteers to alter the articles to make their candidate look good. Drawing their attention to wikipedia is asking for trouble.
Already, I see the candidates' articles are biased. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Wowsawthis (talk • contribs).
Already, there is a hint that campaign workers or volunteers are at work. Everything that I added was removed. I did not say that candidate A was doing it but not B. The excuse used was "trolling". Far from trolling, it's a sign that at least one candidate is guilty and didn't want to delete the comment from just their candidates article so they deleted it in all candidates.
The newspaper article that I read was about the Edwards campaign. If I write about that, it would be potentially biased because all of them are doing it, not just Edwards. So I thought just a general warning and comment on several article's talk page would be better. It seems that this guy that deleted the comment is offended by the truth.
They all have biased writing. I don't have time to correct all of the articles but I don't want to pick on just one candidate. Candidates of both parties have biased articles.
You could also take the opposite approach. Ask campaigns to review their article and the articles of their opponents and comment.
- Sadly, there's nothing we can do but act vigilantly and root out that bias. The bias in the articles very well could have arisen from edits by people other than those directly involved with the campaigns.
- I personally think that getting them involved in Wikinews will encourage them to keep their idle hands at bay. If they feel like they've been heard on Wikipedia (in actuality the sister project Wikinews), then they might decide to scale back, if not completely ignore such tactics.
- "Everything that I added was removed." Where was this? Edward's article, a talk page...?
- As for having the campaigns review their opponents' articles, that's interesting, albeit it's likely to start more trouble than its worth, if any of the campaign start a word of words. It's also unlikely that they'd want to try and pick apart 5, 7, 9 other articles, as that take much more time and resources than having the candidate themselves answer a few questions. -- Zanimum 20:30, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
- Where was this, you ask? I posted the same message as here (the bold print one) in Talk:John Edwards and a few others. All deleted. The campaign volunteers don't want their scam uncovered.
- Don't forget, campaigns have tens of millions of dollars. And hundreds of volunteers and many paid staff. To have just a few of them look over wikipedia is easy. We know that at least one campaign reviews even the blogs and it's the wife of the candidate....then she gives orders. I'm not making this up, it was on the front page of the newspaper (the article was about the candidate, not the internet stuff, but the internet stuff was in the article).
- Well, 99%% of messages should not be posted on multiple talk pages. My call for questions is an exception to the rule, really. Secondly, your message was directed towards me, asking me to take action. Bobblehead likely saw that I said "Don't ask them here, I'll never see them" in reference to questions, a statement meaning I wouldn't be visiting the talk pages of the articles, and thus your message would never get through to me via a talk page. -- Zanimum 14:07, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Idea&s, by GreenJoe (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Idea&s seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Idea&s, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD.

Non-free use disputed for Image:TV a special sesame christmas 2.jpg
[edit]![]() |
This file may be deleted. |
Thanks for uploading Image:TV a special sesame christmas 2.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted after seven days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 18:25, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit]![Replaceable fair use](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f7/Nuvola_apps_important.svg/32px-Nuvola_apps_important.svg.png)
Thanks for uploading Image:Movie date movie hitch.jpg. I noticed the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the image description page and edit it to add
{{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template. - On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Toronto's Wikimania 2008 bid

- Hi Wily, the bid page is here. Basically, we need people to get ideas of who might sponsor, who might speak at the convention (just brainstorm ideas, don't contact yet), and also just general improvement of what we have already. Take a look at other bids (Atlanta and London being the most developed) and see what they're suggesting that sounds cool, or how they're presenting information to make it more appetizing. Basically, whatever angle you or anyone else wants to come at this, please do! -- Zanimum 14:32, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Image source problem with Image:Canada agency millennium.PNG
[edit]![Image Copyright problem](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/3/35/Information_icon.svg/62px-Information_icon.svg.png)
This is an automated message from a robot. You have recently uploaded Image:Canada agency millennium.PNG. 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, 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, 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:Non-free content, 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 21:14, 16 September 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. If you believe you received this message in error, please notify the bot's owner.

Just a heads-up: I noticed you uploaded this file back in 2004. However, I see some problems with fair-use, in that it doesn't have a source or a rationale. Additionally, it has a rather large resolution (2324 × 1765 pixels), which could present problems even if the previous concerns are addressed. I've tagged the image for lacking the source and the rationale as part of the required process, so I'm just letting you know. If you feel it's really not needed, then tag it as db-author. If you want to talk about it, my talk page is always open. :) - Mtmelendez (Talk|UB|Home) 14:05, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

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, 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:Non-free content, 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 18:57, 5 November 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. —Angr 18:57, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
Fair use rationale for Image:Alvin.gif
[edit]Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Alvin.gif. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages 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 non-free media lacking such an explanation 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. —Angr 18:57, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
