License tagging for Image:Coftlogo.jpg
editThanks for uploading Image:Coftlogo.jpg. Wikipedia gets hundreds 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:

Hello, CoT. Note that this is your talk page where other users like myself, or administrators, or as in the case above, automated 'bots, can leave you personal (though public) messages. Neither this page, nor your user page should contain articles. Thereby, I've removed the articles you had posted on both these pages.
The text that you posted at College of Toronto is what we call {{copyvio}}. This means that it is copyright text. In this case, the text has the following copyright:
Copyright 2005-2006 © College of Toronto. All rights reserved.
(See http://www.collegeoftoronto.ca/ for the copyright tag at the bottom of the page.) I understand you may work at the school -- you may even be the author or the webadmin -- but regardless, we cannot accept copyright text. This is why the article was removed, and why I wrote up a new article on the College of Toronto, currently viewable here. When the Wikipedia administrators get through the backlog of issues they're dealing with, they'll delete the copyvio page, and replace it with the new article that I wrote. Hope this makes sense... If you have any questions, leave a message for me on your talk page, or on mine. Either way, I'll see it the next time I log onto Wikipedia. --Stephane Charette 22:16, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that the username you have chosen, "College of Toronto", seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of something other than yourself. Please note that you may not edit on behalf of a company, group, institution, product, or website, and Wikipedia does not allow usernames that are promotional or accounts that are shared. If you are willing to use a personal account, please take a moment to create a new account or request a username change that represents only yourself as an individual. You should also read our Conflict of interest guideline and Plain and simple conflict of interest guide, and remember that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you.Fladrif (talk) 20:59, 8 March 2013 (UTC)
If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} below this notice.
You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer instead to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you prefer to change your username rather than create a new account, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} below this notice. Thank you. Alexf(talk) 12:04, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
