License tagging for Image:Mall food court.jpg

edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Mall food court.jpg. Wikipedia gets hundreds 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:

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. 18:08, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Non-free use disputed for Image:Westmorelandmalllogo.png

edit
  This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Westmorelandmalllogo.png. 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 after seven 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 04:52, 20 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Chestnut Ridge (Laurel Highlands)

edit
 

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Chestnut Ridge (Laurel Highlands), and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.michaelmccumber.com/subjects/chestnutridge. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 02:17, 30 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as Chestnut Ridge (Laurel Highlands), but we regretfully cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from either web sites or printed material. This article appears to be a copy from http://www.michaelmccumber.com/subjects/chestnutridge/, and therefore a copyright violation. The copyrighted text has been or will soon be deleted.

If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL), versions 1.3 or later then you should do one of the following:

It may also be necessary for the text be modified to have an encyclopedic tone and to follow Wikipedia article layout. For more information on Wikipedia's policies, see Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

If you would like to begin working on a new version of the article you may do so at this temporary page. Leave a note at Talk:Chestnut Ridge (Laurel Highlands) saying you have done so and an administrator will move the new article into place once the issue is resolved. Thank you, and please feel welcome to continue contributing to Wikipedia. Happy editing! – Toon(talk) 15:46, 30 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

Please do not upload images you have taken from elsewhere as your own. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously, and those who persistently violate our policies will be blocked from editing. I have added a fair use rationale to this image and idicated that it is non-free, but please be more careful in future. If you have any questions, you are welcome to contact me on my talk page. J Milburn (talk) 08:50, 14 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

Ah, ok. Recreating an image does not give you the rights to it- for instance, I couldn't take a photograph of another photograph and suddenly own the rights. J Milburn (talk) 08:59, 14 June 2009 (UTC)Reply
A fair use rationale like the one I added, and {{non-free logo}} would have been best, but the confusion is understandable. As I say, you're welcome to contact me if there's any confusion in the future. J Milburn (talk) 09:06, 14 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned non-free image (File:Wmlogo.jpg)

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:Wmlogo.jpg. 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 for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. FileBot (talk) 00:18, 25 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Westmoreland Outlet World

Notability

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

Speedy deletion nomination of Zamias Services, Inc.

edit
 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Zamias Services, Inc., requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.
