File source and copyright licensing problem with File:European Beach at Lanphere.jpeg
editThanks for uploading File:European Beach at Lanphere.jpeg. 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. Eeekster (talk) 22:19, 9 December 2014 (UTC)
Re: Lanphere Dunes
editGreetings: I read your changes to the article and must point out that you are not using reliable secondary sources for several of the changes you have made. Wikipedia doesn't take "personal comment" references, nor is " Humboldt National Wildlife Refuge - Mammals" a valid reference. Your writing suggests you are very close to the topic, perhaps even personally involved. Might I suggest taking time to read the Wikipedia editing guidelines before proceeding further? I see no other editor at work on the page at the present time, however your additions to the project may be removed as they are uncited. Please read about "reliable secondary sources" and also about article formatting. This page has some very fancy English on it which may not be supported by any reliable secondary source. Please cease editing until you find sources for what you have added already. Contact me if you need help, ok? Ellin Beltz (talk) 17:11, 12 December 2014 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:European Beach at Lanphere.jpeg
editThanks for uploading File:European Beach at Lanphere.jpeg, which you've attributed to http://www.cal-ipc.org. 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 believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
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 the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Ronhjones (Talk) 21:18, 18 December 2014 (UTC)
