May 2011

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, a number of your recent file uploads, such as File:Supplemental 18 632 01.jpg, have been missing information regarding their copyright status. Please note that Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously and that the copyright status of all media files uploaded to Wikipedia must be verifiable by others. If you have questions regarding copyright on Wikipedia, they can be raised at the copyright question page. Thank you. NativeForeigner ^Talk/_Contribs 23:44, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

File copyright problem with File:Supplemental 18 632 01.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Supplemental 18 632 01.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright and licensing status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page. 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 uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log.

You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NativeForeigner ^Talk/_Contribs 23:44, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

License tagging for File:Supplemental 18 632 02.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Supplemental 18 632 02.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 the "Edit" tab at the top of the 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) 00:05, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

Tuckman's stages of group development

I made some additions to Tuckman's stages of group development and returned to the page to see the old page. The log showed:

1. (cur | prev) 03:12, 11 May 2011 Pm master (talk | contribs) m (9,737 bytes) (Reverted to revision 425535946 by Pm master; rv copyvio from http://www.lightbryan.com/explain/tuckman.html. using TW) (undo)

3. (cur | prev) 00:56, 11 May 2011 Skipper Tryon2 (talk | contribs) (31,523 bytes) (major rewrite adding content and references) (undo)

What does this mean? How can I learn what problems were encountered? How can I more forward? Skipper Tryon2 (talk) 03:03, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

Hi. I haven't looked at the article, but I can at least interpret that for you. A user named User:Pm master reverted your additions because he or she felt that they were taken from the website here directly enough that they may infringe on the copyright of that site, which puts Wikipedia in a tough position.

Now, if you're the owner of that site, or if you think Pm master made a mistake, or in any case, you can ask him or her directly by leaving a message at their talk page. ("rv" is a common abbreviation here for "revert", and "copyvio" is a common short form for "potential copyright violation") Hope this helps! --joe decker^{talk to me} 06:08, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Supplemental 18 632 02.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Supplemental 18 632 02.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 website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. 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 per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4. If the image is copyrighted and non-free, the image will be deleted 48 hours after 04:13, 18 May 2011 (UTC) per speedy deletion criterion F7. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ww2censor (talk) 04:13, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

Copyvio — content removed

I see that you are new to Wikipedia and we need your contributions and help to improve the content. However, you added content to BSA Youth Training that was a direct cut-and-paste from a BSA publication. This violates Wikipedia's policy about copyright violation as explained to you by others on your talk page. The content I removed was written by the Boy Scouts and introduced many peacock terms that evidenced bias in origin of the content, as in the following excerpt. I've italicized the peacock words:

"The youth leadership training continuum (YLTC) plays a vital role in accomplishing this vision. It is designed to be the premier youth training currently available to our nation's youth. The YLTC course material is drawn from the best of the best of leadership courses offered in a wide variety of settings, including those taught to corporate executives. The youth who master the leadership skills offered in the BSA courses will have a great advantage that will give them a lifelong ability for success in Scouting, in their careers, in their churches, and in their personal and family lives."

But please take more care to edit content and add sources. — btphelps ^{(talk) (contribs)} 20:44, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
