Wikimania, greetings

Hi Govus, Boston is hosting Wikimania this summer (2006), and I hope you'll be around for it... would you be interested in helping out with any part of the conference planning?

Image copyright problem with Image:Uss ingersoll dd 652.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Uss ingersoll dd 652.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Thank you.

It doesn't appear the Navsource.org site allows redistribution to third parties. Did I miss something there? Perhaps you could claim fair use for the Ingersoll article as described at Wikipedia:Image_description_page.

Orphaned non-free image File:Khartoum hostage crists.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Khartoum hostage crists.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 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).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:36, 26 May 2017 (UTC)
