Image copyright problem with Image:DPHSAerial.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:DPHSAerial.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 03:35, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

License tagging for File:CarreraCabriolet.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:CarreraCabriolet.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 06:05, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:StonehengeFE.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:StonehengeFE.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. ww2censor (talk) 17:31, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

Edward Teller

Hi Gabbe. The reason I include some verbiage on what the Global Warming Petition is on Teller's page is that the title "Global Warming Petition" can be misleading, causing one to believe that Teller was a signer of a petition in favor of the theory of Global Warming. Not all those who go to Wikipedia will search through each hyperlink to learn the details. It should be reinstated.

Edgy01 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Edgy01 (talk • contribs) 21:54, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

I've changed the wording from "He is a signatory of the Global Warming Petition Project" to "He is a signatory of the Oregon Petition", which should cause less confusion. Gabbe (talk) 21:59, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:PorscheCoupe.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:PorscheCoupe.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Dear Edgy01,

couly you upload a higher resolution version of the photo File:StonehengeFE.jpg to Commons? That would be really great.

Regards --ALE! (talk) 08:11, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

Will do when I get a moment!

Been very busy fixing up our homes in Santa Barbara.

My problem with Wikipedia is that I go through quite a bit of difficulty sharing my photos with Wikipedia, and then some arbitrary Wikipedia NAZI suggests that my photos are stolen from someplace else. They question me. I just don;t have the time that many of you apparently have to go back and forth with this crap.

What do you recommend for a copyright option that clearly means that I took the photo, (and thus, by default, own the copyright) and am willing to share the image on Wikipedia?

Could use some help here. Feel free to email me directly at Edgy01@aol.com

The exact same information appears in a following paragraph--it's completely redundant. Read the page so that you can see what I mean.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Colonel Harland Sanders in character.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Colonel Harland Sanders in character.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Guys, do you have nothing but time on your hands? This is my photo, that I shot, and I state that on the friggin' listing for the jpg. If you can't understand that I give up. Perhaps I just won't donate any more photos to this ridiculous bunch of losers.

I'm sorry that I'm not a Wikipedia Expert as you appear to be. But you have no right to question my photographs. Who are you? And upon what do you base your suspicions?? What I did was not "vandalization." I left you a message where I thought you would see it. If I'm supposed to do it a certain way, please give me a complete description of that process. I merely responded to your email suggesting my photo be removed for some odd-ball reason, and when I went to the hyper link there was no place for me to contest your allegations. Again, bright boy, upon what are you basing your UNILATERAL DECISION to suggest that my photo is not my own?? Please cite the SPECIFIC CRITERIA which the world of Speedy Deletion under which you claim I am in violation. There is no button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". I'm getting a little sick and tired of 'editors' who think they know more about my images than I do. Perhaps you simply sit in a small dark room and decide on your own whose photos are really their own. I only post photos that I have personally taken, with my personal cameras. I am nice enough to donate them for use in Wikipedia, but those days are soon going to come to an end because, frankly, I'm tired of people questioning my images.

For Wikipedia---

I am being questioned by some arbitrary person who doubts my copyrights.

How about some help understanding why I am being challenged periodically with my photos that I submit to Wikipedia. I am a photographer. I own all my images. I don't upload someone else's. I don't have the time to mess around with a bunch of people who just want to throw a wrench into things. If this continues I will pull all of my images off Wikipedia and call it a day.

We cannot accept fully copyrighted photographs, unless the photo is irreplaceable and being used in a fair-use manner.

File source problem with File:AWACS008.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:AWACS008.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 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. Thank you.

Thanks Liz. I have a lot of difficulty navigating Wiki! Where is the information regarding ‘living persons?’ I also had a lot of trouble when I posted my images, with many in Wiki trying to question if they were even my images to post in the first place. Thanks for any insight! (Sadly, I’m just too busy go wander through all the control pages within Wiki so a hyperlink the applicable page would help me out! Thanks Edgy01 (talk) 06:30, 28 November 2020 (UTC)

• Since you asked:

Living persons is here.

Copyright is here; images are better uploaded on Wikimedia Commons, which has its own rules.

Pictures are here.

Hope this helps! – John M Wolfson (talk • contribs) 06:35, 28 November 2020 (UTC)

Blocked

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abuse of editing privileges.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

Hey, I noticed that you made contributions which are not conducive to building a high-quality neutral encyclopedia and are also not in line with policy, so I have blocked you indefinitely. If you feel that this was in error, or that you have learned your lesson regarding our policies on neutrality, opinionated editing, and biographies on living or recently-deceased persons, you may appeal this block on your talkpage (i.e., the page you're looking at right now). If you appeal the block make sure you read up on our policies beforehand and promise to do better, and not waste our time. Thanks! – John M Wolfson (talk • contribs) 06:05, 28 November 2020 (UTC)

Image use

All of my images need to be deleted from use by any wikipedia users. Please pull all images and their links immediately. As I have apparently been banned from editing Wikipedia I leave it to your editorial staff to accomplish this immediately. Copy-write violations will not be tolerated effective 27 Nov 2020.

• That is unfortunately not possible, since when you uploaded your images to Wikipedia you irrevocably licensed them to Wikimedia and anyone who wishes to use them. We also do not look highly upon legal threats, so please retract them. – John M Wolfson (talk • contribs) 06:27, 28 November 2020 (UTC)

Ms Woodson,

I did not turn over my copyrights to Wikipedia. All images of mine must be deleted by you since you have denied me access to do so. Violations of copyright are taken very seriously and will be pursued. Edgy01 (talk) 06:50, 28 November 2020 (UTC)

• It's "Mr. Wolfson", and yes you did. As the image use policy dictates: All user-created images must be licensed under a free license, and more directly allowing such revocations would severely compromise our ability to be a free encyclopedia. You're correct that we take copyright very seriously, but that doesn't apply here. – John M Wolfson (talk • contribs) 07:00, 28 November 2020 (UTC)

Sorry—MR. Woodson!
