Image credits[edit]

Hi Whileseated,

And thanks for uploading Image:Storefront-holl.jpg. However, on Wikipedia, we place image credits on the image description page. Also, the image needs to be licensed under a free license, such as {{GFDL}} or {{cc-by-sa}} — however, I guess you might want to make sure that whileseated.org is still credited if anyone else uses the image, so {{CopyrightedFreeUseProvidedThat|www.whileseated.org is credited}} might be the most appropriate (see for example Image:V20001.jpg). You can find more at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags. -- Solipsist 20:01, 23 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks![edit]

Thanks for changing the image copyright info for the Floyd Landis image. I'll request that it be put back on the Main Page. -- tariqabjotu (joturner) 14:34, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Whileseated. I suppose you are the same "Whileseated" at Flickr. Thank you for changing the copyright licence over there so that we can all enjoy this nice picture of yours at Wikipedia. Sorry for all the hassle, but I hope you understand the licensing issues we have at the wiki. Thanks for sharing. Take care. -- PFHLai 17:13, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

BTW, in future, if you are actually the photographer (I have no idea if you are Mr. Murphy or his fan), you can upload pictures directly to Wikipedia and choose any applicable licences. Instead of saying in the image description that the image came from another website, you can mention that you are the photographer / copyright holder (also mentioning that the same image can be found at other websites would be nice, too.) I am not a lawyer, but this should avoid the appearance of a copyright violation, a common problem here in Wikipedia. This should also avoid trigger-happy admins like me. :-) Hope this helps. Thanks. -- PFHLai 17:39, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for Image:Baisden-and-Sharpton.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Baisden-and-Sharpton.jpg. 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. 02:33, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Baisden-and-Sharpton.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Baisden-and-Sharpton.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, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, 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. 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 specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 00:09, 4 October 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ElinorD (talk) 00:09, 4 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Jena Six photos[edit]

Do you still have a copy of the e-mail from Michael David Murphy, licensing the photos under the Creative Commons 3.0 Attribution license? Videmus Omnia ^Talk 00:43, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the e-mail response - I changed the license on the photos to make it more clear that you are the copyright holder. Videmus Omnia ^Talk 04:05, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

File:Hararbeer.jpg listed for deletion[edit]

A file that you uploaded or altered, File:Hararbeer.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Files for deletion.

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

Thanks for uploading File:Hararpeople.jpg, which you've sourced to Michael David Murphy, http://www.whileseated.org. 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-enwikimedia.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-enwikimedia.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. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Ronhjones ^(Talk) 16:51, 27 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for November 27[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Atlanta Celebrates Photography, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Alison Wright and Keith Carter (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:09, 27 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Notification of automated file description generation[edit]

Your upload of File:Cking.jpg or contribution to its description is noted, and thanks (even if belatedly) for your contribution. In order to help make better use of the media, an attempt has been made by an automated process to identify and add certain information to the media's description page.

This notification is placed on your talk page because a bot has identified you either as the uploader of the file, or as a contributor to its metadata. It would be appreciated if you could carefully review the information the bot added. To opt out of these notifications, please follow the instructions here. Thanks!

Article for deletion[edit]

Proposed deletion of Atlanta Celebrates Photography[edit]

The article Atlanta Celebrates Photography has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Article isn't demonstrated to be notable and the page appears to be more promotional than informational.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

File source problem with File:Crewdson ACP 2009.jpg[edit]

Thank you for uploading File:Crewdson ACP 2009.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 page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next seven days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.
