License tagging for Image:Elliott chart.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Elliott chart.gif. 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:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 18:05, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Shooting first?

Wikipedia's Deletion policy regarding lag times calls for about a week before taking a page down. You summarily removed Robert Prechter's biography article without so much as identifying what part of the article may be in copyright violation, and you also failed to list the article on Wikipedia:Copyright_problems. Shooting first and asking questions later is hardly cordial and respectful to other editors, so I politely ask that you immediately make that article accessible, so I and other editors can address problems with the text.

I did not (and cannot) remove any page ... I merely tagged it, citing a copyrighted Web page (probably from Robert Prechter's site) that some other user had already identified ... and that was after someone had removed that user's tag. All I did was flag it again, and an administrator decided to delete it, probably after reviewing the edit history of the page, just as I had. Take it up with them, not me, because I have neither the authority nor the tools to do anything about it ... no anonymous user does, so don't bother me about this matter again. —141.156.240.102 (talk|contribs) 23:29, 7 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Citations

When including a citation, it is not enough to say "New York Times 11 August 2002", as that is not enough information to find a single article in a large newspaper. Please include at the very least the title of the article, and ideally the author of the article and the page number. Thank you. Gamaliel 21:30, 9 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for being on the lookout, though the citation is more than just the date and source -- I made it a link that goes the Times' bestseller list archive, which displays the relevant information.

The link is useful, but only to a point. Not all users are subscribed to the Times Select pay service and you should provide an article title for those users who access the Times through other means (Lexis/Nexis, microfilm, etc.) or if the link becomes broken in the future.

Understood, I edited the citation to include where in that NYT issue a user can find the info. As for your comment about references on Prechter's bio, I intend to provide those and I said as much in a comment of my own. Check my history and I trust you'll agree that I've been careful to source my contributions. Thanks.

Nice work improving the Prechter article. It's in much better shape now. Gamaliel 19:41, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the encouraging word. I intend to make further additions and improvements to that page.
