Unspecified source for Image:Ivan_Cankar.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Ivan_Cankar.jpg. 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, then 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, then 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:Fair use, 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 14:58, 4 July 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Qst 14:58, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Commercial use of Image:Lipicanec.jpg

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Image:Lipicanec.jpg, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Image:Lipicanec.jpg is an image licensed as "for non-commercial use only" or "used with permission for use on Wikipedia only" which was either uploaded on or after 2005-05-19 or is not used in any articles (CSD I3).

If you created this media file and want to use it on Wikipedia, you may re-upload it (or amend the image description if it has not yet been deleted) and use the license {{GFDL-self}} to license it under the GFDL, or {{cc-by-sa-2.5}} to license it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license, or use {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain.

If you did not create this media file but want to use it on Wikipedia, there are two ways to proceed. First, you may choose one of the fair use tags from this list if you believe one of those fair use rationales applies to this file. Second, you may want to contact the copyright holder and request that they make the media available under a free license.

If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. This bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Image:Lipicanec.jpg itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. If you have any questions about what to do next or why your image was nominated for speedy deletion please ask at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thanks. --Android Mouse Bot 2 15:28, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Lipizzan photo

Saw you added back in that galloping Lipizzan photo. Be aware that it got tossed out of the article several months ago by the wiki gods because they didn't like its copyright. It needs a "fair use" tag to not get kicked out again. Doesn't matter to me one way or the other, but thought I'd better give you a heads up that it needs one if we want it to stay.

Not arguing, the photo was the lead image in the article for a long time, but it got tossed out because someone read the Slovakian government's copyright differently than you or I. They felt that the image was only fair use to promote Slovenia, not Lipizzans (I didn't agree, but didn't feel like arguing about it, either, I just moved up a different image). I'm only stating that the photo is probably going to get thrown out again by an anal-retentive administrator (not me) unless you add a "fair use" tag to the article itself and cross reference the article on the image page. I see you have a fair use tag, but you also admit that there are other images out there, which is like painting a "throw it out" tag on the image. Also, the low res image tag won't work, because the high res image is what was uploaded. I don't have the time to fix it, but if you want to see a fair use tag that has worked for a long time without problems, look at the images for Skowronek and the inline fair use tags in hidden text, and the photo of the white stallion that leads the article White (horse). You don't have to do every thing listed in Wikipedia:Non-free content but for this image, I would say you can pick several things from the "official reasons" list that work. Good luck.

Replaceable fair use Image:Lipicanec.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Lipicanec.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use media which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. – Quadell ^{(talk) (random)} 04:53, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Your comment on Patel's book

Thank you for your comment. Patel's book had dropped off the NYT Paperback Nonfiction list in the version (currently online) dated February 26th. You are correct that the Paperback Business list does not yet seem to have been updated since February 4th. Nandt1 (talk) 15:39, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
