Image Tagging Image:Bagnalls lock Alrewas.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Bagnalls lock Alrewas.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL-self}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then 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. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. 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 any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

oops!

I really hate to pour cold water on your first edits but ... Why:

did you touch the image link in Trent and Mersey Canal when it was perfectly OK
resize the image when Wikipedia is really clever at resizing images
upload it here when it was already on the commons
fail to provide a licence tag - a cardinal sin as you can see above
add a spurious 's' to the name - it is Bagnall Lock
not link to it properly in the Trent and Mersey article

and above all why on earth did you not tell me that I had got the location wrong by 30 km!!!

But please don't let me put you off - all the above are perfectly normal newbie mistakes (I have already forgiven you - I was in the course of fixing the location error when I found what you had done). I am sure you will be able to make some useful contributions. -- RHaworth 16:06, 14 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
