File permission problem with File:Viewmax screen shot.png

Thanks for uploading File:Viewmax screen shot.png, which you've sourced to http://www.cleanposts.com/flash/images/viewmax.png. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. NtheP (talk) 17:08, 2 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Fuck that, the file is mine, but I used it first at my own website here http://www.cleanposts.com/index.php/Main_Page which currently contains a copy of this controversy at the top of the screen. If you delete the image, then I will never upload another image again. Linuxgal (talk) 18:28, 2 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

And you'd be wouldn't be as pissed off if someone had stolen your photo and posted here as their own work? The checking is as much to protect your copyright as anything else. As it says above either add an appropriate licence on cleanposts or email wikimedia giving permission. NtheP (talk) 18:51, 2 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Fine, that was all that was needed. NtheP (talk) 19:18, 2 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a penalty for not reverting vandalism?

DIFF: 1 --Quacod (talk) 00:24, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

One man's vandalism is another man's sincere belief. I prefer to meet it with snark. Linuxgal (talk) 00:26, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

NO blasphemy against Allah will be tolerated. You should be reported to the wikipedia community for violating other people's religious beliefs. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.135.57.208 (talk) 00:35, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Knock yourself out, I can cite the passage in the Qu'ran that I mentioned, so no blasphemy is involved: Till, when he reached the setting-place of the sun, he found it going down into a muddy spring, ...-- Sura 18:86

Windows 98 edits

I'm aware of the FAT32/FAT16 conversion tool, but can you provide a source for Notepad not supporting copy+paste? I can't, not even in the Notepad article here. (also risky business, having a Unix-based name and editing Windows articles... :P) Lukeno94 (talk) 17:02, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I was about to show a screenshot of Notepad running under Windows 98SE showing no hot keys in the pull-down menu but there they were, so I made the claim in error.

I've got another box running Windows 3.1 and that's where I got mixed up. Good catch. Linuxgal (talk) 20:51, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, glad I could help - I've got a Windows 98 box of my own, but don't want to revert an edit based on OR. :) Lukeno94 (talk) 20:34, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Possibly unfree File:Viewmax screen shot.png

A file that you uploaded or altered, File:Viewmax screen shot.png, has been listed at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree files because its copyright status is unclear or disputed. If the file's copyright status cannot be verified, it may be deleted. You may find more information on the file description page. You are welcome to add comments to its entry at the discussion if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 22:26, 29 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not fighting this crap anymore, do what you will. I made that file myself. Linuxgal (talk) 02:48, 1 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Non-free rationale for File:Msdos-executive.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Msdos-executive.png. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. 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, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Codename Lisa (talk) 23:40, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Fileman-OFM.png

A tag has been placed on File:Fileman-OFM.png, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

This image is in fact non-free. (Please see File Manager (Windows).) However, it lacks a fair-use rationale and bears a bogus license tag, which makes it eligible for deletion under WP:CSD F4 and F5. The problem is, I cannot resolve this issue by adding one, because of WP:NFCC#3's limit.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Codename Lisa (talk) 23:38, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
