Spoken version: This is Wonderland
editThanks for your contribution of a spoken version of This is Wonderland! I just listened to it and it sounds great! However, could you please add the following to the beginning and end of it so people know where it came from?
- Start with "Article name, from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, http://en.wikipedia.org." and end each one with "This sound file and all text in the article are licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License, available at www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html" (GNU is pronounced "guh-noo" or can be spelled out).
(this is detailed at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Spoken_Wikipedia/Recording_guidelines#Production_notes) Thanks! -SCEhardT 19:47, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for taking care of that! -SCEhardT 21:15, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Westonroad.jpg
edit
Thanks for uploading Image:Westonroad.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. Thank you. BRossow 18:57, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Jaaaaaaay Waaaaaaave
edit(Sound of a noxious radio jingle.) Well done with J-Wave. Clearly you have more stamina than I do. One little point: J-Wave doesn't have the reputation of playing the best music on the planet. (In my perhaps atypical opinion, the best music on the planet is carefully avoided by most radio stations: they wouldn't want anything to upset their commercial sponsors.) No, J-Wave likes to tell the world that it plays the best music on the planet -- rather as North Korea tells the world that it's a people's democratic republic. -- Hoary 09:11, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
Japanese culture, eh? Well, here is -- or anyway the links from the foot of it are -- more my idea of Japanese culture. (It's a pretty perfunctory article, but better than the one in WP-ja.) Yes, come to think of it, Japanese photographers are a seriously underrepresented area in WP-en: there aren't articles on even Domon or Kimura; or, for that matter, the hugely commercial Shinoyama. And if the Japanese are underrepresented in this anglocentric enterprise, they're way better off than, say, the Lithuanians. All the best with your editing. -- Hoary 10:39, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
Image Tagging
editGreetings. From the description and use of [[:Image:DSC02730.JPG], it appears you intended this media to be freely available. I took the liberty of applying a {{GFDL-presumed}} tag. Could you confirm this at by replacing my edit with {{GFDL-self}}? Regards, Dethomas 00:33, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free image (Image:Oasishongkong.png)
edit){kind=link}
Thanks for uploading Image:Oasishongkong.png. 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 '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 images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Aksibot 16:52, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Inside of a Canadian Passport.jpg
edit
Thank you for uploading File:Inside of a Canadian Passport.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.
If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.
Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 12:57, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

The file File:Diamond Hill roundabout sign.JPG has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Orphaned image that while it has been used was since renamed so a deletion breaks no historic page views. The image is blurry, likely because of being taken at night. I believe that it is unlikely that an image of a street sign would be used in an encyclopedic context in the future. Not clear if there might be copyright/derivative work issues.
