Image copyright problem with Image:Artificial-vagina.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Artificial-vagina.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}}. If you have not already done so, please also include the source of the image. In many cases this will be the website where you found it.

Please specify the copyright information and source 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, or ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. 87.193.50.31 22:09, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

You zapped one vandal rev, but the reverter didn't revert the previous two vandal revs from the same IP! Gotta watch for that :-) - David Gerard 11:08, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

My fault. Sorry. I was using the 'Recent changes' link and I suppose I didn't think that there are so many changes. I don't get it, why is this article like a magnet for vandals??? Siliconov 16:55, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Image copyrights

You have uploaded a number of images of sex toys that you tagged as being in the public domain... Can you please confirm the copyright status of these images, as being created entirely from public domain material? In order for you to release the image into the public domain, any source images you used must also have been in the public domain. If the images are composed of manufacturer's stock images, which are not public domain, your image itself also can not be public domain. Thanks, Bushytails 17:44, 13 April 2007 (UTC).

Would you please more specific about the images and please tell what images exactly you are talking about. Honestly, I've uploaded many images to the encyclopedia, either via the wikimedia or via wikipedia itself. It was a long time ago too. When I uploaded those images I was new to wikipedia, wo I there is a possibility that I've done it not quite right. So if you would please give the links to those particular images, I will gladly correct my mistake. Cheers! Siliconov 08:41, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

The ones that appear to be manufactuers' promo images or mosiacs thereof... Image:Waterpoof-rabbit-wiki.jpg, Image:Cliotoral-vibrators.jpg, Image:Anal-vibrators.jpg, and lots of others. These images appear to be promotional images, which are not public domain, and any derivative works can not be licensed as public domain. In most cases, the usage of these images would not even qualify as fair use, and derivative works are almost universally prohibited. And, copyrights aside, claiming they're your own images, when they're obviously manufactuers' promo images (hell, I have some of them in my store), is illegal and dishonest in itself. Please either correct the license tags (and not create derivative works of copyrighted images), upload replacements that are actually free, or remove them from articles and list them for deletion...

Physical attractiveness

If you would take a look at the talk page of Physical attractiveness regarding your addition and offer an opinion, it would be very helpful. Thanks.--Loodog (talk) 23:05, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Thank you. Your mediation has been very helpful in bringing discussion back to the article, though I think it's best if I drop out of the discussion and leave you, Cheeser, and Flyer to resolve the issue.--Loodog (talk) 15:36, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

I've taken the page off my watchlist. Let me know when you guys have worked something out.--Loodog (talk) 20:12, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

Maglev windmills

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Maglev windmills, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of Maglev windmills. Kim Dent-Brown ^(Talk) 12:55, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi there, sorry to 'template' you like this, but I just don't think the article stands up. The original source you're using is very unconvincing. I'll have a look and see if I can find anything better.Kim Dent-Brown ^(Talk) 12:57, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

The article claims things like "improves efficiency hundreds of times" - unless this is some kind of particularly bad translation from Chinese, it's complete nonsense. There's a fundmental physical imit (Betz limit) to how much energy can be got out of wind, and the existing machinery reasonably closely approximates the fundamental limit of the wind turbine process; the losses in bearings are utterly trivial by comparision. --Wtshymanski (talk) 16:30, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Id-lubricants-logo.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Id-lubricants-logo.jpg. 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 within a couple of 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 (talk) 23:38, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Vacheron-constantin-logo.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Vacheron-constantin-logo.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 12:02, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Your edit at Robot

Let's wait until the Sega robot actually goes on sale. If Sega sells a lot of units, and this robot gets a lot of press from reliable sources, then it's fine to find a place for it in Wikipedia. I'm not sure if the source you're using is reliable. - Dan Dank55 (talk)(mistakes) 14:52, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of ID Lubricants

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 ID Lubricants requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Esrever ^(klaT) 01:26, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
