Hello. Concerning your contribution, File:Pink-katydid.jpg, please note that Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted text or images obtained from other web sites or printed material, without the permission of the author(s). As a copyright violation, File:Pink-katydid.jpg appears to qualify for deletion under the speedy deletion criteria.

Image copyright problem with Image:Range of the Oleander Moth.png

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:Range of the Oleander Moth.png. 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 uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. (ESkog)^(Talk) 00:17, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image tagging for File:Pink-katydid.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Pink-katydid.jpg. You don't seem to have said where the image came from or who created it. We require this information to verify that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia, and because most image licenses require giving credit to the image's creator.

To add this information, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the information to the image's description. If you need help, post your question on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 03:07, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image permission problem with Image:Pink-katydid.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:Pink-katydid.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the image (or other media file) agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

make a note permitting reuse under the GFDL or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the image to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the image has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

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, and add a rationale justifying the image's use on the article or articles where it is included. 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 provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Images lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. (ESkog)^(Talk) 22:23, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop

Please stop uploading images from Google Images or other web sources and claiming they fall under the GFDL. Unless the creator of the image has given his/her permission for a release under a compatible license, he/she still retains the copyright to the image, and thus we cannot host the image on Wikipedia. Several of your recent uploads have had the same issue. In the future, please make sure to upload work that is either 100% your own creation, or work which you have permission to post. Thank you.

License tagging for File:Spinosaurus skeleton 1.svg

Thanks for uploading File:Spinosaurus skeleton 1.svg. 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) 09:05, 3 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Spinosaurus reconstruction

Hello, Buggoy52.40;

I used the  elements to hide the Spinosaurus reconstruction for the time being. There are some issues with it, such as the thin upper arm bones, the size of the ilium and the shape of the pubis, how the lower jaw articulates with the skull, the vertebral spines not matching the outline of the body, and so on. Compare with this illustration of the known material of several spinosaurids. While I personally don't think that there is enough known of Spinosaurus to warrant making a skeletal reconstruction that is not mostly based on scaled-up Baryonyx and Suchomimus, I suggest that you take this image to Wikipedia:WikiProject Dinosaurs/Image review for a second opinion. Thank you for your time! J. Spencer (talk) 18:52, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

your name in IPA

Hey,

One hint about the IPA. The stress marks work like they do in Webster's dictionary, before the syllable, not afterwards like in American Heritage. So Bugboy would be [ˈbʌɡbɔɪ]. (Also, using the correct mark for stress, like here, rather than an apostrophe may strike people as better esthetically.) kwami (talk) 21:00, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (File:Our Kingdom Ministry of Febuary '09.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:Our Kingdom Ministry of Febuary '09.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:08, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you

Hi Bugboy, I just want to thank you for your help on ID the spide I pictured here http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Abrahami&redirect=no#Unidentified_Spider Best regards. Abrahami (talk) 13:48, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have access to my photos from Mozambique right now, but will in a few weeks and will see if I have any more photos, particularly of the web, that could assist with identification. I will that add a Category: based on your suggestion, thanks!Bdell555 (talk) 15:20, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Help needed for ref for move

Hi Mr 52.40
I recently started two insect pages here and here, but used their binomial names instead of their common names, which it appears is the consensus for naming ento articles. When I move the pages, I want to cite some [[WP:Policy]] for this. I've searched all over the place, but can't find anything. Could you possibly help me with this?
Thank you!--Shirt58 (talk) 12:24, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
ps: Please call me just Shirt. May I address you as Bugboy in future?

Hi Bugboy,

Just precisely what I needed to know - thanks indeed! Feel free to grab yourself one of these critters for your awards page.

--Shirt58 (talk) 10:36, 17 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

ps: When I was a young larva, all I wanted to be was an etymologist. Ooops, I mean entomologist. Sometime during my pupation, I realised that you actually have to be able to do basic math to be a life scientist... numerous exoskeleton moults later, and despite being completely bored by ichthyology, I've somehow ended up a land-based sp of superorder Selachimorpha, but that's another story. A heads up: there's an as-yet only very partially tapped mine of Public Domain bug pix at http://www.ento.csiro.au/aicn/.

Harvest mite

Wondering if you would be interested in helping out with the Harvest mite article. It currently references several different species and needs some work to take it up to encyclopedia standard!--Gak (talk) 13:03, 17 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think the main problem is a lack of references. I think the main problem is that it mixes up lots of different species into the same article. I am an infectious diseases specialist, and I arrived at the article from work I am doing on the Scrub typhus article, but arthropods is outside my area of expertise. Thanks in advance! Gak (talk) 15:14, 17 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for all your work so far! I think the main error is the assertion that mites of the genus Trombicula are vectors of scrub typhus (Orientia tsutsugamushi): It is only mites of the genus Leptotrombidium that transmit scrub typhus. I think that looking at the direction of the current article, it is really talking about Trombicula only, and Leptotrombidium really needs its own article. What do you think? --Gak (talk) 10:17, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello

Hello Bugboy,

I too am one of Jehovah's Witnesses and would like to extend my greetings to you. Tell me, how many other Witnesses frequent Wikipedia (that you know of)? It seems to me like a whole lot. ZackTuren (talk) 04:24, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Signed your autograph book. Not sure if that's what you're supposed to do on those pages, however. I'm a complete WikiN00b. Speaking of which, I was wondering if (considering your amazing UserPage) if you could help me set one up.
