License tagging for Image:Do not pet me.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Do not pet me.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands 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:

• Wikipedia:Image use policy
• Wikipedia:Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 01:05, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

The Day After Tomorrow

I removed your comments from Talk:The Day After Tomorrow because they aren't suitable for talk pages: feel free to start your own blog somewhere not on WP addressing such things but talk pages are not blogs. However, I'd encourage you adding such substance to The Day After Tomorrow if you can verify it with a source.

Though I entirely agree about the lack of real science behind TDAT, I still find it entertaining...but isn't that the point? :) Unfortunately, real science isn't near glamorous enough for Hollywood! Cburnett 04:30, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Lexie the leader dog.JPG)

Thanks for uploading Image:Lexie the leader dog.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).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Aksibot 09:39, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Image:Lexie the leader dog.JPG

Hi. When you uploaded Image:Lexie the leader dog.JPG, you did not specify complete source and copyright information. Another user subsequently tagged it with {{GFDL-presumed}} and, for some time, it has existed on Wikipedia under the assumption that you created the image and you agreed to license it under the GFDL. This assumption, however well-meaning, is not legally sufficient and the tag is being phased out. Images using it are being deleted.

This image has been tagged for deletion and will be deleted in one week if adequate copyright information is not provided.

If you, personally, are the author of this content, meaning that you took the photograph yourself or you created the chart yourself (and it does not use any clipart that you did not create), please retag the image with a free image copyright tag that correctly describes your licensing intentions, usually {{GFDL-self}} or {{PD-self}}. Please also make sure if you have not already done so that you write a good description of what the image depicts, when you took the photo, and other important details. This will allow Wikipedia to continue using the image.

If you did not create the image or if it is derived from the copyrighted works of others, please keep in mind that most images on the internet are copyrighted and are not suitable for use on Wikipedia. Wikipedia respects the copyrights of others and does not use images unless we know that they have been freely licensed. Any creative work is automatically copyrighted, even if it lacks a copyright notice. Unless the copyright holder has specifically disclaimed their rights to the image and released it under the GFDL or another compatible license, we cannot use it. If you did not create the image, and cannot make the image compliant with Wikipedia:Non-free content, simply do nothing and it will be deleted in a week. All other non-free images must follow these rules.

Please feel free to contact me on my talk page or leave a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions with any questions you may have. Thank you. Aksibot 08:50, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Braille code tables

A {{prod}} template has been added to the article Braille code tables, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you endorse deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please tag it with {{db-author}}.

Braille contractions and signing messages

Hello, it's nice to meet another person with a vision impairment on Wikipedia. How much sight do you have, and how do you access Wikipedia? I found your user page while reading Talk:Guide dog.

I've redirected your Braille contraction article to Braille, since I don't think that Wikipedia should have a list of English Braille contractions. Other websites can do that far better than us, and the concept of Braille contractions is already adequately covered in the Braille article.

Also, please try to remember to sign your messages with four tildes like this: "~~~~". It makes it much easier to tell who wrote which messages. Graham87 08:49, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
