License tagging for Image:01081pi.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:01081pi.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:

WWE photos

Please stop uploading WWE photos as {{pd-self}} when this is clearly not the case. Those photos are obviously copyrighted and, presumably, belong to the WWE or one of the broadcasters. Please stop. Metros232 02:55, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Normal 010.jpg

Thank you for uploading Image:Normal 010.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. Yamla 18:27, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Image:Normal 010.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Normal 010.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Yamla 18:27, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Blocked

Your continued violations of Wikipedia image copyright and fair-use policies are placing the Wikipedia in legal jeopardy. These actions are taken very seriously. You have been blocked for 24 hours. You are welcome to resume editing once the block expires but you must refrain from uploading any more images until you have fixed the substantial problems with every single image you have uploaded. Any further violations will result in a longer block or possibly a permanent ban from editing the Wikipedia. --Yamla 18:35, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Removal of Warnings

Please do not clear your user talk page of notices from the community about possible policy issues. At best, it makes us more suspicious of you. Please take the time to respond to anything you feel is inaccurate. Autocracy 23:22, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Steph mcmahon.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Steph mcmahon.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-no-disclaimers}} 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 {{fairusein|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 17:40, 12 March 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Yamla 17:40, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

You claim this image was released under the cc-by-2.5 yet the source website makes no mention of this. What did you base your license claim on? --Yamla 23:37, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

You said: "Hey, again, I e-mailed Jen, the owner of the imahe of Steph_mcmahon, she said it's fine to use the image. As long as its used fairly. So, does that count?"

So long as it is fine to use outside of the Wikipedia, so long as it may be used commercially, and so long as people are free to modify the image. Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission covers this in detail and explains how to forward your permission email to the appropriate people. If you are doing so, please make a note on the image page because it can take the permissions list a while to respond. --Yamla 23:59, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

John Cena question

You asked: "Hey, I have a question. Since your an administrator and stuff. I've met John Cena and have asked him what's his favorite baseball team and he responded by saying "The Boston Red Sox". Now, I put that on his personal info. page and it got deleted, because some said I needed a "reliable resource". So, I find his bio. on another website and stated there that his favorite baseball team is in fact the Boston Red Sox. Then I checked and it was gone because some said that wasn't reliable. So, where does that stand at?"

Hi. Good question. The policies in play here are WP:V, WP:RS, and WP:CITE. The key points are that the information must be verifiable and reliable. So, when you ask Cena a question, that's not verifiable. There's no way for me to double-check this. I suppose I could ask him myself but he may have changed his mind, at which point there's no way for me to tell if you were lying or if Cena changed his mind. So, what about a bio on another website? Depends on whether or not this is reliable. If they cite this information and state that Cena said this in a specific interview in a specific magazine, say, then this would probably be reliable. If they just make the claim without saying where they got the information, though, then it's not reliable. Many biographies (and, interestingly, very many bios on imdb) contain false information. Check the policies I pointed you at above and let me know if you have any questions. --Yamla 23:46, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

You said: "Hey, what about a fan site? Cause their reliable. Right?"

No, fansites are rarely reliable. --Yamla 23:59, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Randy Orton

You asked: "Hey, another question. I read an article, someone was interviewing Randy Orton and they asked him a lot of questions. And they asked him who was his best-friend in the WWE and he stated that it was John Cena. And again, I put that in his personal info. that Orton was in fact best-friends with Cena. And I put the internet source and again got DELETED. Another suggestion?"

Well, it could be that the person considered it not particularly notable. Hard to say for sure in this case, though. I personally looked at that edit initially, checked the reference, and thought it was reasonable to stay. Now, if only everyone on the Wikipedia believed I was the ultimate authority on everything, we'd have none of these sorts of problems. ;-) --Yamla 02:04, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Adopt offer

This user has been offered adoption by Bloddyfriday.
(If you wish adoption by another user click here)

If you want I'll adopt you. Bloddyfriday 13:51, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Adopted

Tell me all you want to learn at my talk page and I will do the best I can.

What I know

First off I noticed you've been in trouble a lot, but not intentionatly. If you haven't already apologized in the best way you can think of, you should. You could tell the people that your sorry and prove it by joining some memberships on Wikipedia, making good edits, Articles and stuff like that that will help the site. I would hate to see you banned. Sorry that it sounded like some boring lecture you would recieve at school. Now you have asked me to teach what I know, No matter if someone starts a fight on you or not don't fight back, try and solve it the best way you can and if it continues then go report them. Also if you don't agree with someone elses edit and the put it baack after you change it ask them why they think that edit belongs in the article and then tell them why you don't think it belongs in an article. Finally if there is a problem you can't solve and none of your friends or I can solve then seek help from an Admin. I'm sure you know all that, but I tried my best. If you can think of a more specific area that you need help with I might be able to be of more help. I'd like to apologize for sounding like a know it all above (or a complete idiot), that is just the best I could word it, hope I helped you some how.

Creating new articles

No, You don't have to be a pro to create new articles. Though the one I've spent some time on ended up deleted, but hey if it got deleted it deserved to be deleted. The way I see making new articles is it had better be a very spectacular article for it to not be deleted. Bloddyfriday 00:22, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedians who are fans of HBK

We don't use main space for internal stuff like this. If you intend this to be a user category then you need category space. If you intend it to be a general essay it should be in project space and if you want it to be a userbox you should create it in a sub-page of your userspace. In other words it will need to be deleted because its in the wrong place. Main space is for articles not self referential stuff like this. Please make sure you take a copy of your box so you won't need to recreate it from scratch. Regards --Spartaz ^Humbug! 22:22, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

What exactly do you want to do? How you go about it depends on your objective. --Spartaz ^Humbug! 22:29, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Sure, just copy over what you need from the article to a page in the correct area and start off. The page in mainspace will be removed in due course as housekeeping. I'm happy to help but I need to know what you actually want to do with this. --Spartaz ^Humbug! 22:33, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

You now have a page in your area to store any userboxes you wish to create. Its at User:Zerorules677/Userboxes. Is this what you wanted? --Spartaz ^Humbug! 22:42, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:Michaels-sweetchinmusic.jpg

Uh, I tried putting the one that says: The copyright holder gave me permission to use the image in wikipedia and something came up saying: "Speedy deletion". Would it help if I copy the url of the verification use of the image? Zerorules677 15:27, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Simple permission to use the image on Wikipedia is not good enough. Wikipedia is a free content encyclopedia, so any image needs to either be under a free-content license, or meet Wikipedia's rules for fair use. Also, make sure the person you're asking permission from is authorized to give that permission: generally only the copyright holder is able to release an image under a free license. --Carnildo 00:07, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
