Aboriginal peoples in Canada

I have reverted your change to Aboriginal peoples in Canada. Please review the debate that occured on the Canadian wikipedians' notice board regarding that article. If you still believe the article's content should be deleted or merged with another article, please state so on the notice board or on the Talk:Aboriginal peoples in Canada page, along with your justifications for doing so. You, I, and other Wikipedians can then debate your proposal. Thanks, Kurieeto 02:34, May 6, 2005 (UTC)

James Douglas

Thanks for your kind message, Kilter, and for joining me in giving heck regarding the removal of Douglas' image from that article and from the Colony of British Columbia article. Fraser was the first Wiki project I did - I thought he really deserved better than what he had, so I signed up! As for Douglas, I haven't actually done that much work on it, and in fact I it is on my "to do" list. Cheers to you! Fishhead64 07:27, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

First off, please assume good faith and be civil. Accusing me of being incompetent certainly doesn't put you on my good side. Anyway, that image had been tagged for deletion for having no source. It was the responsibility of the user who tagged it as such only to inform the uploader User:JillandJack (who happens to be banned, so s/he was not so notified for this particular image). I did my due diligence via Google to try and find its source, seeing as how it should most probably be legitimately public domain being so old, but was unable to find it. If you want to see the image, you can find it on one of Wikipedia's mirrors, such as Answers.com. In fact, here it is. A word of advice next time you want to leave a mean-spirited message on someone's talk page: Don't. Regards, howcheng {chat} 17:05, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

As a side note, you should check out the image description page of each image that's included in articles you care about and make sure they conform to policy. Don't get mad when administrators such as myself come along and delete things when we're supposed to. I even went beyond the call of duty to find a free use image to replace that one with. If you really care about these things, you'll be proactive instead. howcheng {chat} 23:27, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Grant tartan.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Grant tartan.gif. 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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).

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 fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Image copyright problem with Image:GrantMacEwan.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:GrantMacEwan.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Jusjih 14:17, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Calgary Wikipedia Meetup

With the municipal election coming up, I figured it would be good to have another local meet of Wikipedia contributors in Calgary. This would be a chance to chat about Wikipedia stuff in general, but also to discuss ways to cover the election on Wikipedia. I’m suggesting next week, at a location (TBD) in the downtown area. If you’re interested in participating, please vote on when you’d like to schedule the meet. Thanks. —GrantNeufeld 21:59, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:MacEwan LtGov.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:MacEwan LtGov.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 07:17, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Image source problem with Image:James Douglas Order of the Bath.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:James Douglas Order of the Bath.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, 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 03:17, 22 June 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. The Evil Spartan (talk) 03:17, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Image:Arsonists.jpg

A tag has been placed on Image:Arsonists.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image licensed as "for non-commercial use only," "non-derivative use" or "used with permission," it has not been shown to comply with the limited standards for the use of non-free content. [1], and it was either uploaded on or after 2005-05-19, or is not used in any articles. If you agree with the deletion, there is no need to do anything. If, however, you believe that this image may be retained on Wikipedia under one of the permitted conditions then:

• state clearly the source of the image. If it has been copied from elsewhere on the web you should provide links to: the image itself, the page which uses it and the page which contains the license conditions.
• add the relevant copyright tag.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on [[ Talk:Image:Arsonists.jpg|the talk page]] explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. ViperSnake151 15:12, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:MacEwan Academic.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:MacEwan Academic.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

• make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
• Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-enwikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-enwikimedia.org.

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:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kelly ^hi! 18:17, 9 August 2011 (UTC)
