This editor has decided to leave Wikipedia.

So long as ignorance is given the same stature as scholarly research, Wikipedia stands no chance of ever being considered as a serious source of encyclopedic information. Two scholars can engage in a legitimate discourse; a scholar and an imbecile cannot. If and when "I don't get it" no longer carries viable weight as a logical argument regardng article content, well, we'll see. Until that time, I will happily devote my energies to more productive pursuits. Mdhennessey (talk) 19:32, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Mission_San_Juan_Capistrano_bells.JPG

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:Mission_San_Juan_Capistrano_bells.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. Jusjih (talk) 02:23, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Mdhennessey - I've taken the liberty of adding a "GFDL" license to this image that you've identified as being self-created, in the belief that this was your intent in uploading the image. Wikipedia is an unprecedented combination of anarchy and bureaucracy. Sometimes it seems mostly chaotic, at other times too concerned with minor rules. Like a man with one foot in a pail of boiling water and the other in a block of ice, the individual cases are hard to accept even while the average is fine. Thanks for this and your many other contributions. Cheers, Will Beback NS (talk) 07:12, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks so much for your cooperation.

File source problem with File:Tustin CA undated USNR blimp.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Tustin CA undated USNR blimp.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 18:55, 13 February 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. Magog the Ogre (talk) 18:55, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:LST-1159 and LST-1167.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:LST-1159 and LST-1167.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
