Image Tagging Image:BillHewitt.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:BillHewitt.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read 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, please check 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. Thank you. -- Longhair 12:08, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:JeffWilsonSml.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 arguement 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.

Cartooning Team X

I did indeed propose for deletion the article Cartooning Team X with a concern of "Intramural hockey teams are not notable, no matter how badly they lost every game. This should not be included because Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information." If you look closely, you'll see that the last bit of the concern is a link to the policy page Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not. The phrase I use in the link is a specific sub-heading in that policy. Truth is not enough reason for something to be in Wikipedia - it also has to be an article that an encyclopedia would cover.

You posed me the questions "If there were an actual place called Brainless Inlet, NWT, Canada, without a soul having set foot on it, or even caring it ever existed, does that make it an indiscriminate collection of information, or a factual, valid part of world geography? In other words, doesn't everything that has ever existed in the physical world have the right to be so documented?" As described, Brainless Inlet is a place that nobody even cared it ever existed. That is an easy call, if nobody cares, it wouldn't belong here.

There are three levels of policy here: official policy like WP:NOT that must be followed, guidelines like Wikipedia:Article size that should be followed unless there is very good reason otherwise, and essays like Wikipedia:Interpret all rules that are basically just someone's claim to have said something wise. We also have some processes, some proposed policies, and some records of failed policy proposals.

We have a whole series of discussions on notability standards . That link is to the core standard, which is an essay but often gets treated as a guideline. I wasn't around when it was formed, so can't speak accurately to the history - but to my eyes part of why it should be only an essay is that the scope of coverage is too broad to cover with solid rules. There are more specific ones like WP:BIO (for biographies of people) or WP:CORP for companies that are guidelines. Sometimes notability is a shorthand for importance and meeting the WP:NOT test. Sometimes it is shorthand for being widely enough known that an article can be written meeting the policy on verification using reliable sources. I hope this helps - and if you follow the links you will get a better feel for what articles should and shouldn't be. GRBerry 01:07, 10 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Johnniewalters1.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Johnniewalters1.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. 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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Unspecified source for Image:BobCouture.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:BobCouture.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, then 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, then 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:Fair use, 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 21:15, 14 July 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Nv8200p talk 21:15, 14 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with Image:BobCouture.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:BobCouture.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI 00:55, 5 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Duplicate Image:BobCouture1.jpg

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Image:BobCouture1.jpg, by Staeckerbot (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Image:BobCouture1.jpg is a duplicate of an already existing article, category or image.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Image:BobCouture1.jpg, 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. --Android Mouse Bot 2 01:10, 5 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Jeff Wilson (cartoonist)

A tag has been placed on Jeff Wilson (cartoonist), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the page's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself.

If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox for any other experiments you would like to do. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Somno (talk) 07:22, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with Image:AnOldCKNXlogo.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:AnOldCKNXlogo.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

This is an automated notice by FairuseBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. --11:08, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

AfD nomination of Bob Couture

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Bob Couture.

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bob Couture. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:08, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
