License tagging for Image:Ballathie_2008_1.jpg
editThanks for uploading Image:Ballathie_2008_1.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.
For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 06:22, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
Disputed fair use rationale for File:Edinburgh-business-school.gif}
editThank you for uploading File:Edinburgh-business-school.gif. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check:
- That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
- That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.
Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Dundas Castle
editYou are absolutely right, this is a castle in Scotland. However, more specifically it is a castle in Edinburgh, so it should be (and is) in the Category:Castles in City of Edinburgh, which is a subcategory of Category:Castles in Scotland. So it doesnt need to be in Category:Castles in Scotland as well. Hope that's clear but drop me a note if you want any more clarification or other pointers. Keep up the good work, Jonathan Oldenbuck (talk) 22:51, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
Problems with upload of File:Ten-square-hotel-logo.jpg
editThanks for uploading File:Ten-square-hotel-logo.jpg. You don't seem to have said where the image came from, who created it, or what the copyright status is. We require this information to verify that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia, and because most image licenses require giving credit to the image's creator.
To add this information, click on this link, then click the "Edit" tab at the top of the page and add the information to the image's description. If you need help, post your question on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

File permission problem with File:Rufus-the-bear.jpg
editThanks for uploading File:Rufus-the-bear.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.
If you are the copyright holder for 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 [email protected], 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 [email protected].
If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} 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 Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 16:20, 14 May 2016 (UTC)
Image source and copyright licensing problem with File:Rufus-the-bear.jpg
editThanks for uploading File:Rufus-the-bear.jpg.
This image is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such images would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a screenshot of a computer game or movie. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original image must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work.
While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, so the overall copyright status is unclear. If you did not create the original work contained within this image, you will need to specify
- the creator of the original work
- the copyright status of the original work, usually indicated by adding a licensing tag. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other derivative works, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 16:20, 14 May 2016 (UTC). If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 16:20, 14 May 2016 (UTC)

ArbCom 2019 election voter message
editHi, firstly apologies for cutting your list on the above Stats page, I should have noticed all competitions were detailed so you were quite right to revert and thanks for being so polite about it. I do think the list is unnecessarily long with the List of Aberdeen F.C. players article there for that specific purpose but it should contain the same level of info, so to that end I have now added the different columns to all existing entries in the Players article's appearance table. I think it would therefore be OK to cut the table in the Stats article down to a Top 10 or similar, but I'll check with you first this time! I think the Goalscorers table is OK as you have done it, don't recall seeing that list in any other club's Players article so I believe Stats is the right place for it, and 50 seems a logical number to include (alternatively those who have scored 50 goals? Doesn't make much difference to the size to be honest). Crowsus (talk) 05:29, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
