Copyright
edit== Copyright status of Science Fiction and Fantasy Hall of Fame ==
Please do not post copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder, as you did to Science Fiction and Fantasy Hall of Fame. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites (http://www2.ku.edu/~sfcenter/SF-HOF.htm 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:Science Fiction and Fantasy Hall of Fame 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:Science Fiction and Fantasy Hall of Fame with a link to the details.
I responded on the Talk page but still haven't seen the entry re-upped. This is a pain in the bottom-side that people can willy-nilly remove other people's entries based on false accusations. Do I need to add my email address to things so I can get a notice when this happens?
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:Science Fiction and Fantasy Hall of Fame 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. If you want to edit constructively, take a look at the welcome page. Thank you. SB 11:37, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Chris McKitterick.jpg
editThanks for uploading File:Chris McKitterick.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status and its source. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously.
If you did not create this work entirely yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. You will also need to state under what licensing terms it was released. Please refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file.
Please add this information by editing the image description page. If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.
Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Puffin Let's talk! 18:32, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for March 4
editHi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Center for the Study of Science Fiction, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages SFWA, Andy Duncan and SFRA (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
