Orphaned fair use image (Image:Lafcadio- The Lion Who Shot Back.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Lafcadio- The Lion Who Shot Back.jpg. 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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).

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 fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. This is an automated message from BJBot 13:46, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Duplicate Image:Lafcadio-The Lion Who Shot Back.jpg

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Image:Lafcadio-The Lion Who Shot Back.jpg, by Staeckerbot (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Image:Lafcadio-The Lion Who Shot Back.jpg is a duplicate of an already existing article, category or image.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Image:Lafcadio-The Lion Who Shot Back.jpg, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. --Android Mouse Bot 2 03:07, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Tom and Jerry: Blast off to Mars

I deleted the article because it had very little information about the movie. Ideally it should be more like the Tom and Jerry: The Magic Ring article, and have cast and crew information, a summary, etc. If you want to re-create the article, but with some more information, that would be fine.

If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. —tregoweth (talk) 21:33, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Did you know candidate?

Thanks for starting Vancouver Island Wolf. Have you considered proposing it as a Did you know (rules/nominations)? I would propose it myself but thought it best to leave it to you in case there is anything more you are planning to add to it within the next few days. If you prefer not to nominate it yourself, let me know and I would be pleased to do so myself. They do want articles to be around 1500 words so it would need additional content before it can be proposed. Are any of these photos or anything in this category of use? --KenWalker | Talk 04:44, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

The Silly Book

Another editor has added the "{{prod}}" template to the article The Silly Book, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. BJBot (talk) 00:44, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:The_Silly_Book.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:The_Silly_Book.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. 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 you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rockfang (talk) 02:56, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:Cephalopholis Boenak.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Cephalopholis Boenak.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) 01:10, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
