License tagging for Image:Black Pearl Blueprint.jpg
editThanks for uploading Image:Black Pearl Blueprint.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:
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. 01:06, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
Black Pearl blueprint
editChris, can you put the permission info for the blueprint of the Black Pearl online? Just saying it's used with permission isn't good enough for Wikipedia. I know that image was released semi-officially for PR purposes, I have a copy myself, but we need it documented here. Thanks. Georgewilliamherbert 01:18, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
Userpages
editFirst see Wikipedia:User page about what is and is not acceptable content for a userpage. To start with I would just put a little about your interests as they relate to Wikipedia, and let it grow as you see fit. If you want to get fancy, Wikipedia:WikiProject User Page Help might be able to help you out. Creating a userpage can help you get practice with Wikitext, but remember that Wikipedia isn't myspace - we're here to build an encyclopedia. If you need more help, you should put {{helpme}} on this page :) Cheers, Mak (talk) 17:07, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
April 2007
editWelcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent contribution removed content from Image:Cho Seung-hui 3.jpg. Please be more careful when editing articles and do not remove content from Wikipedia without a good reason, which should be specified in the edit summary. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Ryanjunk 16:16, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

edit Please do not post copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder, as you did to Graham McNamee (author). For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites ({{{url}}} in this case) or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) then you should do one of the following:
- If you have permission from the author leave a message explaining the details on the article Talk page and send an email with the message to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia (dot) org". See Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
- If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted under the GFDL or released into the public domain leave a note at Talk:Graham McNamee (author) with a link to where we can find that note;
- If you own the copyright to the material: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the GFDL, and note that you have done so on the article Talk page. Alternatively, you may create a note on your web page releasing the work under the GFDL and then leave a note at Talk:Graham McNamee (author) with a link to the details.
Otherwise, you are encouraged to rewrite this article in your own words to avoid any copyright infringement. After you do so, you should place a {{hangon}} tag on the article page and leave a note at Talk:Graham McNamee (author) saying you have done so. An administrator will review the new content before taking action.
It is also important that all Wikipedia articles have an encyclopedic tone and follow Wikipedia article layout. For more information on Wikipedia's policies, see Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Wildthing61476 14:00, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
