License tagging for Image:MichaelEnsign2.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading Image:MichaelEnsign2.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands 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:

Bob Foster article
[edit]Hi! Samples that I Googled came back word-for-word from www.foster2006.com/about.htm. You can certianly cite the website as a reference and link, but it's a pure copyright violaton as it stands. Thanks for understanding. I need to remove it, but feel free to rewrite it in your own words. Too much at stake here, so we have to be a bit strict in this regard. Thanks again. - Lucky 6.9 07:33, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit]While editing both articles, I found out that both were copyright violations with the text copy-and-pasted from the City of Long Beach website. I have extensively rewritten the Recreation Park (Long Beach, California article, but I didn't have the time to rewrite the [[Blair Field article.

Image:Ftg-c.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading Image:Ftg-c.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}}, 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 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.

[edit]Thanks for uploading Image:Cael Olympic Podium.jpg.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.

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:NewLogo4webSm.gif
[edit]Thanks for uploading Image:NewLogo4webSm.gif. 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 within a couple of 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 (talk) 21:57, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
Image source problem with Image:FosterMayor.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading Image:FosterMayor.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, 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 20:31, 20 April 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Polly (Parrot) 20:31, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
Speedy deletion of Image:Fostermayor.jpg
[edit]A tag has been placed on Image:Fostermayor.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}}
to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on [[ Talk:Image:Fostermayor.jpg|the talk page]] explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Duplicate Image:LACountyFlag.gif
[edit]Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Image:LACountyFlag.gif, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Image:LACountyFlag.gif is a duplicate of an already existing article, category or image.
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Image:LACountyFlag.gif, 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. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Copyright concerns, other matters
[edit]Hi. First, I have taken the liberty of replacing the welcome template you were given in 2005 with a new one. Please forgive me if this is unwelcome, but the styles set in that welcome template have done horrible things to the readability of your user talk page, and I wanted to free you from the horror if possible. :) If you don't like the change, it can be easily repaired.
My primary purpose for contacting you today is in connection to the article Lynwood, California. In 2005, you placed content in that article, as you indicated, "From the City of Lynwood website." I'm afraid that the city of Lynwood's website is not usable on Wikipedia. According to our copyright policy, previously published material can only be duplicated on Wikipedia if it is free for use--public domain or licensed compatibly with the GFDL. (Small sections can be quoted in accordance with WP:NFC.) Most websites will not meet this criteria, and the city of Lynwood's is no exception. It clearly reserves copyright here. As this material was placed some time ago, it is quite possible that you are now aware of these policies, but I must notify you for the record in case you are not. Except in the circumstances described above, we can use external sites as a source of ideas, but not as a source of sentences. With the exception of brief quotations, all text placed on Wikipedia must be free for licensing under GFDL either because we have written it completely ourselves or because the source from which it is taken allows it.
If you have any questions about our copyright policies or what constitutes "free" text, I'd be more than happy to discuss the issues with you further. If you have placed other content on Wikipedia that you believe may not conform, please let me know so that we can address these potential problems as necessary.
Thank you. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:32, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

[edit]File:FrDamienSm.jpg is now available on Wikimedia Commons as Commons:File:FrDamienSm.jpg. This is a repository of free media that can be used on all Wikimedia wikis.

You can embed an image uploaded to Commons like you would an image uploaded to Wikipedia, in this case: [[File:FrDamienSm.jpg]]. Note that this is an automated message to inform you about the move. This bot did not copy the image itself. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 20:06, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Taylor (bishop), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Episcopal Church (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
The page Draft:Torrance Beach has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appeared to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appeared to be a direct copy from https://beaches.lacounty.gov/torrance-beach/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition has been be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.
Please do not recreate the material without addressing these concerns, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If you think this page should not have been deleted for this reason, you may contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you may open a discussion at Wikipedia:Deletion Review. — Diannaa (talk) 12:01, 20 April 2022 (UTC)

Copyright problem: St. Thomas the Apostle Hollywood
[edit] Hello Thurifer! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as St. Thomas the Apostle Hollywood, but we regretfully cannot accept copyrighted material from other websites or printed works. This article appears to contain work copied from https://www.saintthomashollywood.org/history, and therefore to constitute a violation of Wikipedia's copyright policies. The copyrighted text has been or will soon be deleted. While we appreciate your contributions, copying content from other websites is unlawful and against Wikipedia's copyright policy. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators are likely to lose their editing privileges.
If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under license allowed by Wikipedia, then you should do one of the following:
- Have the author release the text under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 License (CC BY-SA 4.0) by leaving a message explaining the details at Talk:St. Thomas the Apostle Hollywood and send an email with confirmation of permission to "permissions-en
wikimedia.org". Make sure they quote the exact page name, St. Thomas the Apostle Hollywood, in their email. See Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
- If you hold the copyright to the work: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en
wikimedia.org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 License and GNU Free Documentation License, and note that you have done so on Talk:St. Thomas the Apostle Hollywood. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for instructions.
