License tagging for Image:LC-B815-911 Rt side stereoview 1865 LOC.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:LC-B815-911 Rt side stereoview 1865 LOC.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:

• Wikipedia:Image use policy
• Wikipedia:Image copyright tags

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. 14:06, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

LOC picture additions

When you are adding LOC pictures are you getting them from the LOC website? If so, please add the digital id to photos so that their copyright status is more easily verifiable. Actually the best thing to do would be to use {{LOC-image}} (click to see how to use it), which is the best way to track LOC images. Thanks for all your great contributions!

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello B93! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to insure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. if you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 3 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

1. Emory M. Thomas - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

Possibly unfree File:Leopold von Bayern wearing REO-GC & GFM.jpg

A file that you uploaded or altered, File:Leopold von Bayern wearing REO-GC & GFM.jpg, 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. --MGA73 (talk) 21:38, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

File source problem with File:REO-GC sash & badge.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:REO-GC sash & badge.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 18:56, 25 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. Magog the Ogre (talk) 18:56, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:WHC & Bed Tower 3 -- 1-4-07.JPG

Thanks for uploading File:WHC & Bed Tower 3 -- 1-4-07.JPG, which you've sourced to Eric App. 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-enwikimedia.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-enwikimedia.org.

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: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. Sreejith K (talk) 17:14, 9 October 2011 (UTC)

April 13, 2018, edit to List of William T. Hornaday Award Gold Medal recipients

For all Wikipedia reviewers who may read it, the addition of Leon App's name to the list contains more text than other entries and does not offer any cited sources. I am the source of the information... I directly assisted with the nomination for the award by researching his career and I drafted the narrative of his accomplishments. Any quoted material would be from text that I originally drafted. The formal nomination was made by the Commonwealth of Virginia in November 2017, was examined and reviewed by the BSA's national level conservation committee, and was approved by the Boy Scouts of America on March 21, 2018. I will be happy to share whatever proof or evidence is deemed necessary. - B93 16:42 EST, 13 April 2018
