Image copyright problem with Image:Tp3.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Tp3.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 21:01, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

WikiProject Georgia Tech

As a current or past contributor to a related article, I thought I'd let you know about WikiProject Georgia Tech, a collaborative effort to improve Wikipedia's coverage of Georgia Tech.

Please do not add copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder, as you did to Mido (watch). 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. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.  Sandstein  23:06, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Mido (watch), you will be blocked from editing.  Sandstein  06:30, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

Hi

Hi, this is in response to your post at Talk:Mido (watch). I'm sorry if your first attempts at writing an article were received less than enthusiastically. Please review the links at the top of this page, after "Welcome!", for advice on how to compose good articles. In particular, if you want to make an extraordinary claim in an article, such as that the company is an innovator or industry leader in some field, you should back up this assertion with a reference to a reliable independent source. Then people won't think you are writing advertising copy. See WP:NPOV, WP:V and WP:FN on why and how to do this. You may also ask any questions that you might have at the new users' help page. Best,  Sandstein  23:34, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
