Denel group of companies[edit]

Hi Impi, given your interest in South African military matters I thought I'd send you this "heads up" about an issue I have raised about the Denel group - See Talk:Denel. I also posted a note to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject South Africa#Denel_group_of_companies_and_related_articles_all_need_a_major_overhaul about the problem.

File source problem with File:SA Navysmall.jpg[edit]

Thank you for uploading File:SA Navysmall.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 16:18, 16 May 2010 (UTC) per speedy deletion criterion F7.

Fair use rationale for File:HawkMk120.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:HawkMk120.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

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 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 08:46, 24 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:Recceoperatorsgold.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Recceoperatorsgold.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created 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 permissions-en@wikimedia.org, 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 permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} 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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kelly hi! 20:50, 31 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Impi[edit]

Impi, I understand you. You are South African and you want to defend your army, that´s what every one of us is supposed to do with our own countries. But man, the truth is hard but is the truth over all. I really don´t know your motivations or causes but wake up at once. The SADF was ruined in Cuito Cuanavale, it was the biggest defeat ever, so great that they were forced after Calueque to rush the signing of the peace, to liberate Namibia and finally to the end of the Apartheid, leading to democratic elections that put the first black president ever on your country. I am sure you certainly know that the losses of the SADF in Cuito were far greater than that 31 official. You want proof of the losses, then loose your PC and get a trip to Angola or Cuba you will satisfy. The chain of events talks by itself, don´t try to blind people. Cuban troops were ready to initiate the offensive toward Namibia and maybe to continue all the way to South Africa if they had not signed the peace. Don´t try to change the status of the SADF at the time, it was a defeated army. Whatever you want to discuss I have all the time for you, and be sure I have an answer for all your justifications.--CSpartan (talk) 05:12, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
