In regards to your question, that picture was deleted because it did not have a copyright tag on it. For an image to be used here, of course anyone viewing the image has to know what the copyright status is on it, whether it's Template:PD, Template:Non-free television screenshot, or otherwise. These tags are representation of where we can use said images, so they are vital, and images lacking them are deleted. With the way our image policies are, that's what I have to do.

{{help me}}

Thanks for your help and courtesy, Wizardman. So if I add

This image is in the public domain in the United States. In most cases, this means that it was first published prior to January 1, 1929 (see the template documentation for more cases). Other jurisdictions may have other rules, and this image might not be in the public domain outside the United States. See Wikipedia:Public domain and Wikipedia:Copyrights for more details.

and upload it again will that be OK? ThanksFoofbun 07:04, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, that'll suffice. Dihydrogen Monoxide 07:53, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I've noticed that the still in 'Red Nightmare' has been removed. As it is 1) prior to 1978, and 2) the film was initially made for, commissioned by, and shown by the US Government I believe it is exempt from copyright; can it be restored please? Thank youFoofbun 07:33, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You can re-upload it, or ask the admin who deleted it. Dihydrogen Monoxide 07:53, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image removals

If ImageRemovalBot removed an image, it's because somebody deleted it. Without knowing exactly which image was deleted, I can't tell you why. --Carnildo 08:39, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Question on image to Carnildo

{{help me]] Hi Carnildo,

I've a question on the deletion of the image Bondthrillers. jpg from 'The James Bond Theme' article in Wik. My reasons for believing it no longer copyrighted, are 1)pre 1978, 1965 actually 2)the record company is no longer in business 3)there are no stills from any film or any actors appearing in the picture; the characters in the picture are models. I believe the image is attractive and well suits the theme of 'covers'.

Otherwise do you know how I could trace the copyright on a record cover that doesn't feature performing artists from a record company that is now defunct (through conglomerations and take overs)?

Thanks for your help and patienceFoofbun 08:50, 10 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

PS That same image of the male model with a gun on the London album cover was also reused on a Cheltenham Orchestra (Wyncote Records) cover of Bond themes, so as Wyncote was an American firm I don't think there would be any copyright as they weren't suedFoofbun 21:24, 10 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Tin soldier

Hi, I moved your recent link from the tin soldier page to the toy soldier page instead - it's proper place, since they're plastic... ;-) Greetings, --Janke | Talk 08:45, 9 December 2007 (UTC) Good thinking, Janke. I think that the plastic comic book flats are the only flat figures most Americans are familiar with. Thanks for letting me knowFoofbun (talk) 11:03, 9 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
