License tagging for Image:Argyrosaurus superbus.pdf

Thanks for uploading Image:Argyrosaurus superbus.pdf. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 13:05, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia by creating the page Shark teeth. Your test worked, and the page that you created has been or soon will be deleted.

Duplicate images uploaded

Thanks for uploading Image:Mako shark teeth.jpg. A machine-controlled robot account noticed that you also uploaded the same image under the name Image:Bakersfield Californis extinct mako shark teeth 004.jpg. The copy called Image:Bakersfield Californis extinct mako shark teeth 004.jpg has been marked for speedy deletion since it is redundant. If this sounds okay to you, there is no need for you to take any action.

This is an automated message- you have not upset or annoyed anyone, and you do not need to respond. In the future, you may save yourself some confusion if you supply a meaningful file name and refer to 'my contributions' to remind yourself exactly which name you chose (file names are case sensitive, including the extension) so that you won't lose track of your uploads. For tips on good file naming, see Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions about this notice, or feel that the deletion is inappropriate, please contact User:Staecker, who operates the robot account. Staeckerbot 13:30, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Bull Shark

Hello! Please don't randomly change the spellings from one version of English to another. It's not nice and it annoys people. Please take a look at WP:ENGVAR; basically, whatever is used first, it's preferred editors stick with that throughout, unless there's an overriding reason to do otherwise. I know it can be annoying to see things spelled odd to you, but other times consider that what you think is spelled fine looks odd to someone else.

Fair use rationale for Image:Mako shark overview.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Mako shark overview.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. Sfan00 IMG 16:28, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Fair use disputed for Image:Tiger shark tooth anatomy 006.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Tiger shark tooth anatomy 006.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. 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 it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 05:10, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

Suzhousaurus

Hello, Spotty11222;

I appreciate your effort, but the material you added to Suzhousaurus is in large part a copyright violation because it is virtually identical to sections of this MSNBC article. Some of it could be useful, but it should be rewritten and integrated into the article. Thank you, and have a good day! J. Spencer 22:03, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Fossil shark tooth in matrix 001.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Fossil shark tooth in matrix 001.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 12:04, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

shark tooth / Shark Teeth

Hi,

The phrases "shark tooth" and "shark teeth" are not capitalized in English, and the singular is the norm for the titles of Wikipedia articles, so I moved the article back. kwami (talk) 18:44, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Great white shark and megalodon size comparison 002.jpg

Hi, Thank you for uploading Image:Great white shark and megalodon size comparison 002.jpg. IMO you copied it from a book or a magazine. I've nominated it for the speedy deletion. Please do not upload such images. Thanks.--Mbz1 (talk) 17:45, 12 October 2008 (UTC)


Image permission problem with Image:Great white shark and megalodon size comparison 002.jpg

Image Copyright problem
Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:Great white shark and megalodon size comparison 002.jpg I noticed that that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the image (or other media 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 GFDL 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 did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the image to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the image 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:Image copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the image's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:Image 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 uploaded by following this link. Images 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. lifebaka++ 19:27, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

List of old growth forests in Massachusetts

Please see Wikipedia naming conventions before renaming articles. Caps are for the article's first word and for words that are part of proper nouns. I've removed the caps. --Pgagnon999 (talk) 19:52, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

RFA

Welcome back to Wikipedia. I see you are preparing an RFA. Before you officially throw your hat in the ring, please read WP:NOTNOW. You have 2 major things going against you know: 1) A very low total edit count, 2) spotty editing, people are likely to ignore your contributions before your most recent return in December 2008. In addition, you might want to read through some of the successful and unsuccessful RFAs. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 17:41, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Redirect

I saw you removed a redirect because you were going to create a page. You really don't have to do that, you can make the first edit the addition of your content. If you want to view a redirect page, you can do this manually with the url. Example: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=yourarticlenamehere&redirect=no This way you can view the page without being redirected. Just thought that would be useful to you. Good luck! --Kraftlos (Talk | Contrib) 04:44, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

This is your only warning.
The next time you make a personal attack as you did at User talk:24.224.214.121, you will be blocked for disruption. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. Beeblebrox (talk) 23:39, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Why laddie? After all, he did vandalize this article. He deserves it, being the swine he is.Spotty11222 (talk) 23:43, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

  • So you called them a faggot instead of reverting the change and warning them on their talk page. How utterly childish. Beeblebrox (talk) 23:47, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

I'm so sure they would listen to kind words of asking them to stop. No, but I'm sure you're right. After all, idiots can't be reasoned with, so why bother greeting them.

  • It's called assuming good faith. We give people a chance to realize the error of their ways before they get blocked. Calling them a faggot and a swine accomplishes nothing, and could be considered trolling. Beeblebrox (talk) 23:52, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
      • I want to apologize Beeblebrox. It seems my wife caught my son on my computer this night. Sorry I wasn't able to respond earlier, and I'm sorry for any trouble he may have caused. After I finish writing this message, I will have to change my password. My son also told me that he logged off of my profile and vandalized that user page under the IP address. He told me that he "was trying to help me", but now I guess he realized that a mesaage wasn't going to be posted onto my profile.I'm sorry for this, and he will be punished. He should know better. My son also has a tendency to call people "laddie", in a condescending way. He picked that up from me. Sorry again, and I'll make sure this doesn't happen again.Spotty11222 (talk) 01:50, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
  • Well, I can't very well give a lecture on assuming good faith and then not accept your gracious apology. A father's work is never done... Beeblebrox (talk) 07:56, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
