Mark for deletion

Welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome your help to create new content, but your recent additions (such as Joseph (artist)) are considered nonsense. Please refrain from creating nonsense articles. If you want to test things out, edit the sandbox instead. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia.

My response

[edit]

Leuko, please don't call things "nonsense" just because you don't understand them. The article was written in formal English and makes perfect sense. The only problem is I do not have a source for it, since the artist is rarely seen. I'm working on that. Now have a great day full of marking things you don't understand or like for deletion, counting them, and then showing off tallies and badges on your rainbow page.

I agree. This is not patent nonsense. It is just unsourced. Tyrenius 03:59, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding your uploaded image

[edit]

Hi, I've noticed that you have recently uploaded Image:Joseph alien abduction.jpg, but I'm concerned that it could potentially be a copyright violation since there is no proof of the original artist's permission to release it to Wikipedia. Can you clarify the copyright status? +A.0u 04:46, 20 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it is best to have written permission as well as have the artist clarify the license. You used the {{self|GFDL-no-disclaimers|cc-by-sa-2.5,2.0,1.0}} template, which I think that you have to be the author of the work to actually use, because it states that the uploader is the artist and that the artwork in question has been released into the public domain. So, it may be best to contact the author and have him look through the information regarding image copyrights to see which license he prefers. +A.0u 03:45, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I've just come here to say the same thing. At the moment we cannot allow this image to remain, as it is a copyright violation, as far as wikipedia is concerned. It would be better to claim Fair Use. Tag the image page with {{art}}. You also have to put a Fair Use Rationale on the image page. See User:Tyrenius/Image FU#Fair use rational for artwork. Or to get the artist's permission, see Wikipedia:Example requests for permission. Tyrenius 03:56, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
