Untagged images

Hi! Thanks for uploading all those Mannlicher images. I notice they currently don't have image copyright tags. Could you add them to let us know the images' copyright status? (You can use {{gfdl}} if you release it under the GFDL, or {{fairuse}} if you claim fair use, etc.) If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know where you got the images and I'll tag them for you. The images are:

Thanks so much, – Quadell ^{(talk) (sleuth)} 14:55, Feb 15, 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for getting back with me! I've tagged them all. – Quadell ^{(talk) (sleuth)} 03:30, Feb 26, 2005 (UTC)

Hello Wterrel. It's me again. There are a bunch of other images I see you've uploaded. Looks like mostly diagrams of handguns. I was wondering where they all came from. Here's the new list:

They look like they're from a book, but which one? In general, if you can provide that information when you upload the pictures, it makes it easier for us. For now, just let me know and I'll take care of them. (If the images aren't tagged, they'll have to be deleted.) Thanks, – Quadell ^{(talk) (sleuth)} 21:45, Feb 28, 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the detailed reply! – Quadell ^{(talk) (sleuth)} 04:52, Mar 5, 2005 (UTC)

Image:001462.large.jpg

Hi. I have listed Image:001462.large.jpg on User:Smoddy/Fair use assessment, where I am checking fair use claims. I don't believe this image is verifiably fair use, and if you don't respond in a week, I shall list the image on Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. If you don't think the image should be deleted, please go to that page and state your views, and your justification for fair use. Cheers, [[Smoddy]] 13:31, 1 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Image Tagging Image:Berettaweaver.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Berettaweaver.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. Night Gyr 23:05, 23 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for Image:2006625134924 kilroy.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:2006625134924 kilroy.gif. Wikipedia gets hundreds of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

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

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 19:04, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Encyclopedia

I am uncertain why you have decided to rant about typos on my user talk page. Is this about the Stargate:Atlantis deletion debate? Because that's the only place I remember talking about whether something is encyclopedic or not. Also, please sign your comments on my talk page so I know who is talking. Thanks.--K e rowyn ^{Leave a note} 22:21, 4 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The deleted material you refer to was removed as part of the cleanup effort. The pictures were nice, but redundant. We don't need images of the gun from every angle. Primary source material shouldn't be quoted in full in Wikipedia. Wikisource would be a good place for that, as long as it's open domain. And since it is an army report, I assume it is. Then we could add a transwiki link to the source material. --K e rowyn ^{Leave a note} 23:41, 4 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps my linguistic skills aren't perfect, but I'd like to work with you to improve this article to a standard we can both agree with. Would you like to place the Armory report in Wikisource? --K e rowyn ^{Leave a note} 02:34, 5 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Barrel asmby.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Barrel asmby.jpg. 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. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}
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 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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --– Quadell ^{(talk) (random)} 19:37, 7 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Arpiuka

Are you talking about the WikiProject Indigenous peoples of North America template? That is supposed to go on the talk pages of articles dealing with that subject. It doesn't need to have content on the talk page to have it included. The content on Ar-pi-uck-i (Sam Jones) is still there, so I'm not sure what you meant by, "I see your template but the content of the article is deleted" when there wasn't any content on the talk page in the first place. on camera^(t) 22:06, 24 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ar-pi-uck-i

Hi, Wterrell. I am confused about your recent post of a complete article text to the discussion page for Ar-pi-uck-i (Sam Jones). Are you proposing this as a replacement for the current article? Did you write it yourself? -- Rob C (Alarob) 22:11, 24 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

File source problem with File:Post 37 109 1900Left.sized.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Post 37 109 1900Left.sized.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, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4. If the image is copyrighted and non-free, the image will be deleted 48 hours after 08:21, 1 March 2011 (UTC) per speedy deletion criterion F7. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Denniss (talk) 08:21, 1 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 20:14, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
