Orphaned non-free image File:TheTallons WMarch 1936.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading File:TheTallons WMarch 1936.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 02:26, 15 June 2015 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Kukotsky Enigma, English language edition, book jacket.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading File:Kukotsky Enigma, English language edition, book jacket.jpg, which you've attributed to Northwestern University Press. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.
If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
- make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA 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 take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.
If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file 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}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File 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 created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 22:58, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

[edit]Hello, I'm Zackmann08. Thank you for your recent contributions to Northwestern University Press. I noticed that when you added the image to the infobox, you added it as a thumbnail. In the future, please do not use thumbnails when adding images to an infobox (see WP:INFOBOXIMAGE). What does this mean? Well in the infobox, when you specify the image you wish to use, instead of doing it like this:
|image=[[File:SomeImage.jpg|thumb|Some image caption]]
Instead just supply the name of the image. So in this case you can simply do:
|image=SomeImage.jpg
.
There will then be a separate parameter for the image caption such as |caption=Some image caption
. Please note that this is a generic form message I am leaving on your page because you recently added a thumbnail to an infobox. The specific parameters for the image and caption may be different for the infobox you are using! Please consult the Template page for the infobox being used to see better documentation. Thanks!

[edit]Hi, I'm Teblick. Jdwtuttle, thanks for creating Vievee Francis!
I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. This article would benefit from having more information about the subject. Look for additional references. Add some biographical material and tell more about her achievements.
The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited St. Elmo Historic District (Chattanooga, Tennessee), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Civil War. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

(t · c) buidhe 18:00, 11 October 2020 (UTC)- Thanks for creating this article! I would recommend a WP:Did You Know nomination (you must submit in the next week) which would get Jedrowski a mention on the main page. (t · c) buidhe 18:02, 11 October 2020 (UTC)
- Buidhe Hello. Thank you for the encouragement. I'll do this. I think I can guess the answer to this, but I've checked the help menus without any luck. Do you know from experience or practice if I adding the author photo from the book jacket would be considered fair use? I know from experience that the publisher and author would probably be delighted--as long as someone else managed the perms. I'm in book publishing, and I have not ever been able to cajole an author or publisher to sort out the perms.

File source problem with File:American-indian-center.jpg
[edit]Thank you for uploading File:American-indian-center.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 seven 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. Whpq (talk) 17:36, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
- Note - You have linked to a permission page which shows that most of the web site is under a free license, but you have not provided a source page for where you got the photo from, and the permission statement also notes that there are some exceptions which would be noted. Without the source page, others cannot verify the licensing. -- Whpq (talk) 17:39, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
@Whpq: Hello there. Please help me understand this. In the summary, I included the name of the photographer (Eric Allix Rogers) and the copyright holder (the NAES College Collection at Northwestern University Library), who made this image available under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License, a link to which I included in the summary (https://naes.info/credits/). What else do you need? You mention keying this same data into the "description." There is no description location on that page, altho there is a summary. If I've simply not put the data in the right place, I'd be grateful to know. Thank you. Nigetastic (talk) 17:46, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
- You need to provide a source URL for the page where the image is displayed from https://naes.info/ because at this point, there is a permission statement that covers the material at the web site but there is no evidence that this image comes from that web site and is covered under that license. -- Whpq (talk) 17:56, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
- @Whpq: Very helpful. I'm just going into a meeting. I'll try this again in a couple of hours and ping you then. I appreciate your attention. Nigetastic (talk) 18:04, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
- @Whpq: Meeting postponed. I've added an additional line to the description specifying the location on the same site where the image is location. Many thanks again for your attention.Nigetastic (talk) 18:15, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks for providing the source URL. I've removed deletion tagging now that there is a URL specified and license verified. I've also reformatted the summary information you provided into the standard information template. Feel free to adjust the wording if you feel my edits need tweaking. Wikimedia Commons is the preferred location for storing free images as it allows sister projects access to the image as well. I will be copying the file to Commons shortly. Do not be alarmed if you see the file is tagged for F8 deletion. That just means I've copied the image and there is no need for a local copy any more. Cheers. -- Whpq (talk) 18:32, 29 October 2020 (UTC)

License tagging for File:O wai ya wa.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading File:O wai ya wa.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.

Hi there. Please consider adding additional categories, and including the article in relevant Wikiprojects.
The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Bastun}}

- @Bastun:Where does one find a list of Wikiprojects? Nigetastic (talk) 16:18, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Nigetastic, you can search for Wikiprojects here, or use the links there to browse Wikiprojects. It can often be as quick to search for a similar article to the one you have created - e.g., in the case of Don Noble, following the link to University of Alabama, you can see in the infobox that its president has his own article - clicking through to that article's talk page, Talk:Stuart R. Bell, you can see several Wikiprojects there that would also obviously be appropriate for Don Noble's article. It's then a simple matter to copy the talk page header and relevant Wikiprojects to the talk page of the Don Noble article, just changing the relevant data in the various entries. Hope this helps, BastunĖġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ! 10:45, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
