License tagging for Image:Logo doc.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:Logo doc.JPG. 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. 09:05, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Thankyou

Hi. Your article was orginially removed because it constituted a copyright violation; at no point did it assert that permission to copy the content of the website it was copied from had been given.

Even if permission has been given, however, the article that you created was unsuitable for Wikipedia. The text of the article was an exact duplicate of your website; Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and articles have to read like articles, not sections of someone's webiste. There are thousands of schools worldwide, and Wikipedia simply cannot accept copies of the various websites of each. Wikipedia is not a directory. Articles about certain subjects, schools included, also have to establish importance or significance. See Wikipedia:Notability (schools) for guidelines of the sort of things a school article should contain.

Please not also that writing articles about yourself or organizations with which you are associated is not accepted, partly because of the tendency to introcduce original research, and the difficultly of avoiding bias and verifying information with reliable sources. Thank you – Gurch 16:00, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What I was going to say, is basically what Gurch has said. In short: Please write about your school in your own words. Do not use the text from any other web site. Kimchi.sg 09:15, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

AfD Nomination: British International School of Cracow

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, but all Wikipedia articles must meet our criteria for inclusion (see What Wikipedia is not and Deletion policy). Since it does not seem to me that British International School of Cracow meets these criteria, I have started a discussion about whether this article should be kept or deleted.

Your opinion on whether this article meets the inclusion criteria is welcome. Please contribute to the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/British International School of Cracow. Don't forget to add four tildes (~~~~) at the end of each of your comments to sign them.

Discussions such as these usually last five days. In the meantime, you are free to edit the content of the article. Please do not remove the "articles for deletion" template (the box at the top). When the discussion has concluded, an administrator will consider all comments and decide whether or not to delete the article. Kimchi.sg 14:28, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
