The text seems to be a cut and paste of copyright material from the same website you copied the image from. On the subject of the image you say "This website holds the copyrights for this picture." whilst tagging it as being under a creative commons license. Looking at that website I can see absolutely no indication that they have released it under that license and as such I have deleted the image also. You cannot merely copy stuff from websites you find and assume it is ok for wikipedia to use it, it is not. --pgk 19:38, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Other images

I notice most of the other images you have uploaded are also tagged in such a way, saying this website holds the copyright whilst tagging the image with a free license. Checking the website does not indicate they have released the image under that license. I will delete these images also. Do not mis tag images, you cannot make assumptions concerning the copyright status of images, we take this very seriously. --pgk 19:45, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

OK, I've been through the images and the following lack sufficient source information. I cannot verify if the license you have added is valid or not. If you don't add sufficient source information and if necessary correct the licenses these too will be deleted.

• Image:Sikorsky_CH-53G.JPG
• Image:Angie Sage.jpg
• Image:Edward Speleers.jpg

the following you listed as licensed under the GFDL, as book covers I find this highly unlikely and have retagged them for fairuse as book covers. They do then however lack a fairuse rationale which you need to address.

• Image:Twisted_Blade.jpg
• Image:Burning Crown.gif
• Image:Serpents Egg.jpg

If you have any questions please ask on my talk page. If you have copied text or images from other websites without the appropriate licenses please let me know so I can remove those also. --pgk 20:11, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

More problems

The Serpent's Egg Trilogy is for the most part a copy and paste from this website as above this appears to be a copyright violation. Do not copy and paste text and images from other websites. --pgk 21:08, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

And more

[1] appears to be you adding a direct copy of material from here just changing the word German to Nazi. --pgk 21:21, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

gosh, Zzzzzzzzzzzz

It looks as if you might need some friends. Don't cut out potential ones too quickly. Carptrash 21:24, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Waffenträger

This appears to be a more or less literal translation of parts of [2], it's not easy to tell if you found it translated elsewhere or did a translation (google translate comes very close to the translation in the article). Direct translations are also subject to copyright issues. --pgk 21:41, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

One more I missed:

[3] is a copy from here. --pgk 09:45, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
