First Article
editHello everybody and welcome to my first Wikipedia article. Any suggestion and addition is welcome, because I think the subject just deservs it. In addition, I am not at home with my English, so any stylistic suggestion for these few sentences from native speakers is appreciated. In English, I prefere British idiom, just to stay consistent...
Image copyright problem with Image:Rudolf fizir.jpg
editThanks for uploading Image:Rudolf fizir.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}}
.
Please signify the copyright information 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 Image legality questions page. Thank you. Shyam (T/C) 00:48, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
- Hi, I guess the above relates to the comment you left on Wikipedia:Newcomers help page with the {{helpme}} tag. You can (and should) use that tag on your talk page and we'll see it and reply here that way you'll keep any questions and answers together, you'll also get the "you have new messages" banner whilst using wikipedia so you'll know we've replied. If you think you've tagged the image incorrectly simply correct the tagging on those images and it should be ok. You can ask the person who warned you of the problem above if you need any clarification of the image. Their talk page is here. Finally I notice on the post to the help page you didn't sign your comment, on discussion/talk pages it's normal to sign things you write with ~~~~ that expands out to your username/signature and the date and time. Thanks --pgk(talk) 19:01, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
