RMS Queen Mary
editYou added a large number of assertions, as well as some speculation to the Queen Mary article. The assertions should have some citations to back them up. The speculation, unless you can quote from a reliable news source to back them up, will have to be deleted as unencyclopedic.
The one link that you did add, supposedly going to info on mixed financial results, just goes to the main page for an unofficial Queen Mary website that is already in the external links section. There is no indication from that page of where any financial information on the Queen Mary might be found. If there is some info, then the link should go directly to that page. If there is none, than that reference should be deleted. BlankVerse 02:57, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
- I am leaving this same message on all the talk pages of those editors who have recently been involved in the short edit war over links in the External links section of the RMS Queen Mary article.
- Two of the editors involved in that disputer were temporarily blocked because of their violation of the three-revert Rule. The article itself is temporarily protected because of the edit warring over the article. There is now a section on the Queen Mary talk page at Talk:RMS Queen Mary/Archive 2#Edit dispute over links in the External links section for any editors who want to discuss the matter of which links should, and should not be in the External links section of the RMS Queen Mary article.

Image copyright problem with Image:Widescreenshot.jpg
editThanks for uploading Image:Widescreenshot.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}}. If you have not already done so, please also include the source of the image. In many cases this will be the website where you found it.
Please specify the copyright information and source 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, or ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BlankVerse 01:03, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
- The problem is that you didn't provide any sort of copyright or licensing information when you uploaded the graphic file. Any image without that information can not used on the Wikipedia.
- You are going to have to decide if, and how you are going to license the image to the Wikipedia. What most people do is keep the copyright, but license the image to the Wikipedia under either the GFDL or Creative Commons licenses. What that means is that although you retain the copyright, anyone can use that image, including Wikipedias in other languages and other WikiMedia projects, Wikipedia clones such as Answers.com, or anyone else who wanted to use the image, as long as the attribute the image to you and the Wikipedia.
- Once you decide upon which license you are going to use, you have to go back and edit the page where the image is located. Unless you do that, the image will be deleted. BlankVerse 03:50, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
