==Regarding your edit to [[:Mark May]]:== |
|||
Your recent edit to [[:Mark May]] ([http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Mark_May&diff=prev&oldid=98099580 diff]) was reverted by '''automated bot'''. The edit was identified as adding either [[WP:VAND|vandalism]], [[WP:SPAM|link spam]], or test edits to the page. If you want to experiment, please use the [[Wikipedia:Sandbox|sandbox]]. If this revert was in error, please contact the bot operator. Thanks! // [[User:VoABot II|VoABot II]] 04:02, 3 January 2007 (UTC) |

I have deleted what was here for a reason. I treat it like emptying an e-mail inbox. Please only post ''new'' items. |

==Unspecified source for Image:Baskett.jpg== |
|||
Thanks for uploading '''[[:Image:Baskett.jpg]]'''. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the [[copyright]] status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify 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. |
|||
==XIcedEarthX's Response to Picture Problems== |
|||
If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{tl|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 {{tlp|fairusein|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. |
|||
Response: Then delete the pictures you mentioned. It is of no concern to me. I just figured I would put actual pictures onto those sites but people make it a giant ordeal here. Instead of making people read through miles and miles of red tape, perhaps you should make a simpler process of knowing what is accepted or not. Making an "online encyclopedia of the people" should also mean any person can edit it with relatively little hassle. I was merely trying to help this site, not get a nasty amount of messages from you making me into some "vandal". In response to those pictures however, if there was an option for the person who uploaded the pictures (ie. me) to delete them, then this wouldn't even be a conversation, would it? |
|||
: I myself do not have the access to delete said images—the maintenance tags serve in part to signal to those who do that there are problems with the images that need to be addressed. Also, I understand that you are trying to help, and apologize for coming on harshly to you, but you do need to realize that the "miles and miles of red tape" are necessary because of copyright law—Wikipedia must respect others' copyrights in order to succeed in its own goal of being an "online encyclopedia of the people." I hope that you will continue to contribute to Wikipedia, but unless you feel eager to tackle the red tape, would advise against contributing photographs created by anyone other than yourself.

==Image tagging for Image:Louholtz1.JPG== |

Thanks for uploading '''[[:Image:Louholtz1.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. |

For more information on using images, see the following pages: |

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 [{{fullurl:Special:Log|type=upload&user={{PAGENAMEE}}}} this link]. '''Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged''', as described on [[wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Images.2FMedia|criteria for speedy deletion]]. If the image is copyrighted under a [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Fair use|non-free license]] (per [[Wikipedia:Fair use]]) then '''the image will be deleted [[WP:CSD#I7|48 hours]] after 06:39, 3 January 2007 (UTC)'''.

[[Image:Stop_hand.svg|30px|left]] You have recently uploaded a large number of images without citing the source of said images. '''Do not''' upload any more images without citing the source of the image. You ''must'' specify the website where each of the images originated. Failure to provide the actual sources of the images you have already uploaded will result in them being deleted. Furthermore, if you continue to upload images without specifying where they are from, you may be '''blocked''' from editing WIkipedia. [[User:Erik Swanson|Erik Swanson]] 06:52, 3 January 2007 (UTC) |

XIcedEarthX, even after the discussions on this page, you are still uploading unfree copyrighted images that are not allowed by Wikipedia's [[WP:IUP|Image use policy]] and [[WP:FU|fair use policy]]. You're right, the rules are quite complicated, and there is some red tape, but that is because we are a [[free content]] project and only allow unfree works to be used in a few very specific cases, and only when there is no other choice. We can not use [[:Image:Giantcenter.jpg]], for example, because it is possible for someone take their own photo of the building and release it under a free license.

[[Image:Nuvola apps important blue.svg|25px]] Thanks for uploading '''[[:Image:Gillie.jpg]]'''. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a [[WP:FU|claim of fair use]].

If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. [[WP:BOLD|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 for use on Wikipedia (see [[Wikipedia:Non-free content#Policy|our policy for non-free media]]). |

: You have recently uploaded [:Image:EvgeniMalkin2.jpg], a photo from [www.nbcsports.com/2006/1019/205984_225X300.jpg], and tagged it as <nowiki>{{Tv-screenshot}}</nowiki>. Although this may indeed be the correct tag for the image, using this image on the article about [[Evgeni Malkin]] is not appropriate under Wikipedia's [[Wikipeida:Fair use|fair use guidelines]]. Please refrain from uploading or inserting any more images into articles until you familiarize yourself with Wikipedia's [[Wikipeida:Fair use|fair use guidelines]] and [[Wikipedia:Copyright FAQ|copyright policies]].

Thanks for uploading Image:Gillie.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.

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 for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
