By the way, you are encouraged to look at Wikipedia:Manual of Style. What you're writing are called substubs and tend to be discouraged. Feel free to write articles, but please add more to them besides the fact you found them in your bathroom. :^) - Lucky 6.9 23:49, 24 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- Just hitting the ol' Wiki before heading for home and I saw your new article! Good stuff! Thanks for taking my advice to heart. Have a great weekend!! - Lucky 6.9 03:15, 25 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Harriet Photo
editHi. My name is Noah Berlatsky. I work at the American School a correspondence high school (for more info, see www.americanschoolofcorr.com). I'm currently writing a Composition and Grammar textbook for our students, and have been using Wikipedia as a source of topics for example sentences and paragraphs. I liked the article about Harriet and was thinking of using your picture of her in the textbook.
I saw that you have granted the picture to the public domain, but I would still like to use your (real) name as the photographer, if you would like that to be included. Also, I could use a higher resolution picture (300 dpi) if you have one. If you could send it as an attachment that would be great. My email is noahberlatsky@hotmail.com.
In addition, if you send me your address, I would be happy to send you a copy of the textbook when it is completed (hopefully later this year.) Thanks for your help, and for the article!

Fair use rationale for Image:Idefix.gif
editThanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Idefix.gif. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. 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 you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ShakespeareFan00 14:17, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
File permission problem with File:Australian meat pie.jpg
editThanks for uploading File:Australian meat pie.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-en wikimedia.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-en wikimedia.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! 13:04, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
