Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:Jaime Ekberg Herald Sun 2006.jpg.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. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI 15:14, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Jaime ekberg, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing no content to the reader. Please note that external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article don't count as content. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Re: The image use

Hello, I just deleted the newspaper scan/web page printout. Let me put it this way: We usually can only use freely copyable images on articles. Images that are from copyright sources can only be used on rather strict terms, and even those only permit images that are otherwise unreplaceable. And if you're providing a link to a web page, that is essentially already pointless.

It's also useless to put the article here in scanned form because references to news articles should be put as references, not scans. For a completely random example of an article I looked at today, see the end of Killian documents - there's dozens of links to the news articles, note that there is no scans provided. =) We don't have the need to archive the articles in any way.

You may want to take a look at the page Citing sources and also see how the citations are done in other articles.

Also I see you were asking from John254 on why the article can't be found now. Seems that it was deleted; it appears the article Jaime ekberg only contained the words "Ekberg, Jaime". This kinds of articles tend to be deleted because articles should have some content - article that just repeats the title isn't very helpful for the reader. Personally, I'd go and just answer some basic journalistic questions (who, what, when, where, why?) even in a short article - never make the reader ask "what's the point?"... =)

Well, anyway, welcome to Wikipedia, have fun, feel free to ask me questions if you have them, I hope this is a bit more helpful than the canned replies above, and hope things will start working out after this rocky start =) --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 19:40, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
