License tagging for Image:LAULL.jpg
editThanks for uploading Image:LAULL.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. 17:07, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
Deletion review
editI would love to help you, but first I need to know which article it was that you had worked on/were working on.
After I know that, I can undelete the article as a sub-page of your userpage, allowing you to work on the article without the risk of having it deleted.
About policy and procedures:
First of all, after I delete a page, that is usually the last I hear of it. Sure, there may be complaints about it, from which point I attempt to work on it.
Secondly, I had nothing to do with the page being listed on AfD. I am only an administrator who later comes around and closes the discussion, examining all arguments and examining edit histories of the users who participated in the discussion. So, your accusation of me failing to send you a message that the article was under review for deletion is completely false and irrelevant. Please look into what actually happened and examine procedures before you start accusing someone for something they didn't do. Furthermore, I know of no one who informs authors that their work has been listed on AfD. It is instead assumed that all authors know that the article is up for deletion after seeing that the AfD tag has been placed on the article, due to the page being on their watchlist. A watchlist is useful because you can track all changes to either (1) your favorite articles or (2) articles you've edited.
Lastly, I am very cooperative with dealing with user requests. All you have to do is contact me via e-mail (here) or via my talk page. A better approach in this situation would be to send me a message, asking what went wrong or what procedure I followed if you didn't understand it, instead of going to my talk page just to yell at me. You are lucky that I responded to you at all -- some admins would have disregarded this message.
If you have any further questions, please contact me in one of the ways outlined above. Thanks, Ian Manka Talk to me! 16:52, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
