License tagging for Image:Americasflag.GIF

Thanks for uploading Image:Americasflag.GIF. 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. 04:05, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

American Sovereign State

Perhaps Queen of North America? Please don't troll the talk pages, it's a disruptive edit trail that violates Wikipedia policy. CMacMillan 20:58, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Please don't comment on Continents you don't know about especially the Americas. Please refer back to the Europe and the Americas discussion.

You're funny :) I like that. Rock on! CMacMillan 01:08, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Image source problem with Image:Fernidad.GIF

Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:Fernidad.GIF. 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, 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, 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}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, 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 18:51, 15 August 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Valentinian ^{T / C} 18:51, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Vandalism warning tag

This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits.
The next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did to United States, you will be blocked from editing. Your parallel vandalism of Thirteen Colonies, and reference of that article's falsified content to support your falsification of United States compounds the offense.—DCGeist (talk) 15:49, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Concur...in fact, I was about to add a warning tag, and saw that DCGeist already did. Your attempts to rewrite history and introduce terms that are not commonly used appear to reflect an effort to impose your own point of view on the encyclopedia articles. Any more attempts to push your POV will be considered vandalism, and you may face loss of editing privileges. AKRadecki^Speaketh 16:19, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

If you want my POV I'll give you one...

Canada (/ˈkænədə/) is a country situated in the western and northern hemisphere spreading over most of northern North America, extending from the Atlantic Ocean in the east to the Pacific Ocean in the west and northward into the Arctic Ocean. It is the world's second largest country by total area, and shares land borders with the United States to the south and northwest.

Let me add.. I am FAR FROM VANDALISM to Wikipedia, your Private POV does not count as far as Vandalism goes. I was only editing which was already described in the Article of The United States. If you feel there was an error on my part you have a personal POV of The United States of America which I feel I am in the right and I shall disregard your warning. Also, you are abusing your own privaleges with you nonsensical threats which I will report!

Intuitionz 22:25, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Hmm, next I suppose you'll be busting out with the lyrics to "Canada's Really Big" next? (Yes, there are actually a few of us Arrogant Worms fans even here in SoCal.) But, you are always welcome to report my activities, but you should know that someone has already reported yours. You need to understand some things about Wikipedia. First, it's not acceptable to add material about how you think things should be...such as your edit about the 13 colonies being "provinces". You cited no sources, and there are clearly sources that indicate that the they were referred to as "states" (i.e., the name "United States of America"). Making such changes is considered by many to be vandalism. As far as my abusing my privileges, please be assured that there is no abuse here, and the threats are far from nonsensical. I'd really rather not go down that road, though, so why not learn to contribute in ways that actually improve the articles around here? AKRadecki^Speaketh 05:30, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Pan-german-plan.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Pan-german-plan.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. FASTILY_sock^(TALK) 07:33, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
