Image Tagging for Image:Blackcat.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Blackcat.jpg. The image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to indicate why we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies under Wikipedia's fair use guidelines, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use. If you want the image to be deleted, tag it as {{db-unksource}}.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of image pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

71.193.138.120 (talk • contribs • WHOIS • block user • block log) was just blocked for a week; great work on the revert. It is the fourth time he has been blocked. Hopefully he'll get the message. Keep up the good work. --TeaDrinker 14:32, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

As a side note, you should take requests for blocking vandals to WP:AIV, not WP:AN/I, unless they are about sockpuppets and the ilk.--The ikiroid (talk·desk·Advise me) 20:02, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your edits

Thanks for making the edits to Internet Wrestling Community. It really helped clean up the article. It was my first article in Wikipedia and it continues to expand. I hope you enjoyed the article. MrMurph101 21:17, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

re: news and rumor sites

I am unclear - what makes PWInsider different from any of the 500 other wrestling news sites out there?JB196 16:53, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Well I have a pretty good relationship with Tommy Dreamer, as I speak to him on a semi-regular basis (the last time being about two weeks ago); does that mean I am a legit source for WWE news based on what he tells me? What I'm getting at is that I think the source needs to have received mention in legitimate publications if you're going to consider it any more accurate than any random news site. I agree with you on the Observer; I have seen it featured in Wrestling With Shadows, on Off the Record on TSN, and on other many other TV shows and have seen a little bit of mainstream coverage about the Torch but not as much (if any) about PWInsider. I am interested in knowing if PWInsider has been covered by any mainstream publictations that you know of?JB196 21:38, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Siel_dk70.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Siel_dk70.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

Unspecified source for Image:Blackcat.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Blackcat.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, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self-no-disclaimers}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 05:01, 10 May 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Iamunknown 05:01, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

The Invasion

Hope you respond in my Talk Page, but just so you know, I fought for the Criticism section of The Invasion to be put back in. What I did was look up an older version of it and provide (as of this posting) six citations to back up some of the statements. With that, I'm hoping it'll stay there rather than 3bullet removing it like he's been doing. I brought up the fact that nothing was cited and asked why criticisms had to be any different, and another user, DreadedWalrus, brought up a legit point that Criticisms, if anything, should have some backing to it. I figured that was fair enough and started off with citations. Since you apparently made the article, I hope you find this to your liking and continue to build up that section.

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Atari2600 3DTicTacToe.png

Thanks for uploading Image:Atari2600 3DTicTacToe.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 17:49, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Cinderella NightSongs.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Cinderella NightSongs.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

PLEASE NOTE:

• I am a bot, and will therefore not be able to answer your questions. If you have a question, place a {{helpme}} template, along with your question, beneath this message.
• I will remove the request for deletion if the file is used in an article once again.
• If you receive this notice after the image is deleted, and you want to restore the image, click here to file an un-delete request.
• To opt out of these bot messages, add {{bots|deny=DASHBot}} to your talk page.
• If you believe the bot has made an error, please turn it off here and leave a message on my owner's talk page.

Thank you. DASHBot (talk) 06:19, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
