File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Thomas DeBaggio, 2006.jpg

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Thomas DeBaggio, 2006.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, 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, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

The photo of Thomas DeBaggio was taken by our mutual Pete Dawnson. Pete, Tom, and I are related and he has given me permission to have the photograph in the public domain. I thought i had stated that when the phot was uploaded. It is a family photo.

As well as adding the source, we also need to know the terms of the license that the copyright holder has published the file under, usually done by adding a licensing tag. 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: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. 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 created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged files may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the file will be deleted 48 hours after 01:27, 23 April 2011 (UTC). If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. 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. Eeekster (talk) 01:27, 23 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Culling Ethics

You've added a section to Marius (giraffe about the ethics of culling in zoos. I don't think this it the most appropriate article to discuss this. Better add such contribution to Conservation (ethic) and Culling in zoos. Kind regards, Timelezz (talk) 10:25, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Lindquist, Mark

I think the article on Mark Lindquist should not be deleted. He is an author and a politician, or was. He was the Prosecutor of Perce County, Wa. He is one of the few prosecutors to be admonished by the a state Bar. He was sanctioned for his comments on the Nancy Grace show. This is a unusual and noteworthy. Simply because much of the material is not favorable to him does not mean it should be deleted. The sources are credible, not tabloids as alleged. Johnccain (talk) 04:42, 16 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
