Although some prefer welcoming newcomers with cookies, I find fruit to be a healthier alternative.
Welcome to Wikipedia, WOS2014! I am Fetchcomms and I have been editing Wikipedia for some time. I just wanted to say "Hi!" and welcome you to Wikipedia! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page or by typing {{helpme}} at the bottom of this page. Don't be afraid to leave a message!

A tag has been placed on File:WestOrangeCoveWikipediaLogo.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, 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 - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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.

{{helpme}}
Hey fetchcomms, you Welcomed me a few months back. How are you? I'm here because I have a question. I uploaded a logo I made, which incorporated one single aspect that I did NOT make, but WAS released in to public domain. The first time I published it, it IMMEADIATELY got removed (by a rather rude admin.) They claimed it was "clearly copyrighted material." So what should I do? reupload it as Public Domain material? Thanks for your help, and the "fruit basket!" :)
Although the file is used on various websites, we did not (at this time) find appropriate confirmation that it is in the public domain - and that is what is needed.
If you find such evidence, you can add that to the file, and explain it in the deletion discussion, and all should be OK.
If the file is deleted but you later find evidence of PD status, then please ask for further help
Oh, just one more note: you put {{helpme}} but you addressed Fetchcomms. When you use {{helpme}}, you will get help from any available person. If you want to contact a specific person, you should do so on their own user talk page. For Fetchcomms, for example, that is User talk:Fetchcomms - you'd leave him a note there.

Again, thank you for your help earlier. I have gladly found a source which deems it PD. Granted, the website looks like it was made by a 2-year-old, but it CLEARLY features a mustang which appears to be the same as the one I am using. It also claims, at the bottom, that they are in PD, and were retrieved from PD.
When you leave messages, please remember to "sign" your name, by putting ~~~~ (four tilde signs) at the end. This will add your name, and the date and time. You can also do this by clicking the 'sign' button, pictured to the right.
I would think that that link is just-about enough for us to consider it PD. I will mention my opinion in the discussion, which will be open for other comments for about a week, and then we can decide if the consensus is to keep or delete.

Your upload of File:CarlGodwinAuditorium.jpg or contribution to its description is noted, and thanks (even if belatedly) for your contribution. In order to help make better use of the media, an attempt has been made by an automated process to identify and add certain information to the media's description page.
This notification is placed on your talk page because a bot has identified you either as the uploader of the file, or as a contributor to its metadata. It would be appreciated if you could carefully review the information the bot added. To opt out of these notifications, please follow the instructions here. Thanks!

Thanks for uploading File:Foundation1.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.
If you are the copyright holder for 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 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 Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kellyhi!23:13, 16 June 2016 (UTC)Reply
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.
