License tagging for Image:12900181-01-031.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:12900181-01-031.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.

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) 21:05, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with File:NMHM-Dreyer-Sequencer.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:NMHM-Dreyer-Sequencer.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. Even if you created the image yourself, you still need to release it so Wikipedia can use it. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like {{PD-self}} (to release all rights), {{self|CC-by-sa-3.0|GFDL}} (to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

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

This is an automated notice by STBotI. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 02:18, 31 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Eight-ball

Please do not promote this game in the article. It may be your patent, or you may just like it and have no connection, but it is not a notable variant in this article on the global game. I don't think even mentioning this game would be warranted under WP:WEIGHT.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 03:05, 27 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I see you have been promoting this one person in multiple articles. Please stop now.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 03:08, 27 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Better source request for File:CCATT SMEED NMHM.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:CCATT SMEED NMHM.jpg. You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact Web page where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain or the URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page or me at my talk page. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 20:31, 21 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for September 17

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Office of Civil Defense, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page War Department (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
