An editor has nominated Jaclyn Case, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jaclyn Case and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 14:59, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

When you see private and personal information (like real name or where they went to high school) about someone that doesn't have a citation, you should just go ahead remove it instead of using the [citation needed] tag. Vinh1313 (talk) 16:38, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
Was curious about why you listed Image:Edsim clitoral glans innervation.jpg on "Wikipedia:Possibly unfree images." As the copyright owner we grant permission to copy, distribute and/or modify this image as stated in the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License. If we have the incorrect license attached to this file please let us know so we can change it. Looking forward to your response.
We changed the copyright/license for the image caption. We also removed the "warning" on the image's internal page. Just to clarify, were we supposed to remove these "flags," or is that left for an administrator after the 14-day period? Please let us know, and thank you again for your assistance in this manner.
Hi, I have uploaded the photo Image:Bangkok_microzonation_map.jpg in Seismic microzonation page. The picture is my own creation and I want to release it in public with only two conditions (1) Anyone can use it freely for academic and business use but proper reference should be given to my paper published in http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/106564765/abstract (2) The picture should not be distorted beyond its original purpose meaning it should not be distorted to give any wrong meaning
Hello, I have uploaded the photo Image:C.Mitnick.gif. The image was taken down due to a question of copyright and license. This image is a headshot used by CBS and NewsCorp entities. It is available publicly and it is not copyrighted. What tag should I use??

Do not delete the station sign, as this is a source. Services no longer operate to these destinations displayed, but are still displayed on the platform. The point is that the station remains the same as it was many years ago, and is an important addition to the page, considering that Ellesmere Port to Warrington Line also mentions this fact regarding station signage. There is no other way of providing proof that the station signs actually say that. I would advise you to read the article before attaching any tags. In terms of the level crossing picture, "it compliments the article by providing a visual reference". Particularly as very few stations actually have these, it would be stupid to remove it. I once again would advise you to unmark these images. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.241.86.34 (talk) 17:33, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for note about this deletion. One thing I don't get here is why these things are being moved? Also, it's kind of annoying that when the image is moved, the file history gets fucked up. That kind of bug is an error that should have been fixed by the wikipedia commons people before trying to remove every image from the wikipedia. In either case, could you point me to the policy that is forcing images to be moved out of the wikipedia proper? I don't understand the motivation here and would like to read the discussion about it.

Deleting the Image of Brian Alters
Image Copyright problem
The image Image:Brian Alters.jpg is owned by Brian Alters and he gives his permission freely to use it. I believe I made that clear when I uploaded the picture. However, it apparently did not have the proper tags from the copyright tag page, and you had it deleted. These tags are greek to me except for {{GFDL-self}} which, in my case is not appropriate, since I do not own the picture.
I have now uploaded the image again as Image:Brian_Alters_2.jpg. It would be nice if you could give me explicit instructions on how to prevent the image from being deleted. I do not want it to happen again! pionade (talk) 14:15 PST, 3 July 2008
I can't seem to find the correct field to enter the copyright info for that image. Can you help me to get to the correct place to enter this info? Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Scooge (talk • contribs) 05:53, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
Be careful with deletion notions (like this and evidently also those you have left on the pages of several of the prev. users that have commented on your page). You should inform the person who uploaded/made the photo, not some random person who commented on it. Take this photo, which resulted in you leaving the previously linked deletion template on my page. As it clearly states in the box below the photo, the author of that photo is the user InaKoys. Notice that informing the uploaded/author generally is a requirement, i.e. if you fail to inform the correct person, you risk having the deletion request fail by default. Rabo3 (talk) 19:34, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
Thanks
Thanks for explaining why the message came to me. I still can't see how I created a page on commons by editing a page on Wiki. But never mind.
Just for the record, that's incorrect and based on a misunderstanding. Btline didn't create the page - it's simply because of the "hole" in history that occurs when moving things between various wiki's. Regardless, you should always inform the person who uploaded/authored it, not some random person who commented on it. In this case [3] for example, the person who should have been informed is Loganberry (or alternatively his account on commons). Rabo3 (talk) 19:50, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
And now the thing I added to the image page has been wiped. Can you reinstate it please? It provides useful information. Thanks, Btline (talk) 20:01, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
inform the correct person about deletions2
As noted in my previous comments, you should inform the correct person, which, as noted in my previous comments here on your talk page, is InaKoys. The original author is either stated in the box below the photo (as in this case) or in the file history section (near the bottom of the page). Infrequently, where both these are missing, you're left with the last visible editor. I have explained in previous posts why the "hole" occurs in history. Note also that when something is moved by the automated or semi-automated process to Commons, the original file on e.g. English wiki is deleted automatically. What you then see on English wiki is not the original file. Rather, it is a hotlink from Commons. Notice also the quote below such files: here; This is a file from the Wikimedia Commons. The description on its description page there is shown below. If you click proporties over the photo it'll also confirm that it simply is a hotlink to the photo on Commons (i.e. not actually hosted on English wiki). For this reason, your current request for deletion of the above mentioned file won't work, as it isn't an independent file on English wiki. When you use a photo from Commons on e.g. English wiki, it will always automatically make such a hotlink page. To delete this page, you'd have to delete the photo from Commons, as that's where it really is. It is the same in all photos with a box below the photo stating: This is a file from the Wikimedia Commons. The description on its description page there is shown below. Try for example clicking on the various photos in the wiki article Bird (same in other versions of wiki; check e.g. the photos in the Portuguese article for bird). You'll notice that most originate from Commons and have the above mentioned quote below the photo (i.e. the first page you get to when clicking on the photos may give the impression that they're hosted on English [or Portuguese] wiki, but they're simply hotlinks from Commons).

CSD I2 tags
To explain it better to anyone who want to communicate with about this subject, I'm using WP:TW and the script says that CSD I2 is for an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image, like the {{Db-noimage-notice}}:
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 [[ Talk:Image:Discrete probability distrib.png|the talk page]] explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
So, please change it if isn't right, I mean the notice, the script or the information, to everyone base on correct information.
Sdrtirs left the following message on my talk page:
{{Db-i2}} tags Hello! Explaining what I have done, I just base my edits on the existing information. To explain it better heres the link notification about CSD I2: {{Db-noimage-notice}}. --Sdrtirs (talk) 19:57, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
My messages to your talk page were among many (several of which you removed [diff]) about improperly tagged images and notices left on the wrong user talk pages. You had been tagging images which fit the "available as a bit-for-bit identical copy on the Wikimedia Commons under the same name" description. Such images, if the specific WP:CSD#I8 conditions are fulfilled, should be tagged {{Db-i8}} and {{Db-nowcommons-notice}} should be posted on the image uploaders' user talk pages. — Athaenara ✉ 21:30, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for the information! As I explain it before, I based on the information given by the script WP:TW and if this information is misleading, then it should be changed to fit standards. Thanks Athaenara, I can base it on more correct information. His reply is what I meant for given correct knowledge and correct someone doing something wrong.

you notified me on my discussion page about the speedy deletion of Image:DTM_Mercedes_w204_Schneider_amk.jpg. Unfortunately I don't really understand what is wrong with the picture.

Frazier Quarry Images
I have the rights to the images but I'm not sure as to how to express that in Wiki formatting. What exactly do I need to change?
I believe the User:Hollyrandall78 is indeed the photographer, Holly Randall, and is uploading her own images. She is new to wikipedia so when you tag her images for deletion, could you also write her a personal note what is missing (like a license) or what she did wrong?

User warnings
Hi! I noticed that you added two template warnings to Xenocidic's user page here and here.

thanks for the heads-up; I tried to fix it but uncertain the Edward Curtis template apparently doesn't work in Regular Wikipedia; would it be better to upload this to the Commons?

You are going to delete this image because it is "available as a bit-for-bit identical copy on the Wikimedia Commons under the same name" yet you will notice the one in en.wp is newer than the one in commons has several misspellings fixed.

I uploaded this picture first on the 25th of May for Wikipedia. I checked the image file for Wikimedia Commons, and it was uploaded by some meta upload bot (or whatever it's called) today, so that one would be the duplicate.
