Deleting unsourced images.

Hi, I assume you are using a bot to remove images from pages - it missed one on Boggle (dog), you should update your bot to remove images that are inside infoboxes. These images typically do not have the Image: prefix. Just thought you should know - Trysha (talk) 15:09, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Political integration of India

Hi! Don't yoy think Political integration of India should be there in Portal:India Selected articles? It's been a featured article in Wikipedia.So no question about its quality.Please comment.--Dwaipayanc 18:29, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No source images

You do not need to delete the no source image from my page. You can put up a request by placing a template tag on the page of the unsourced photograph page, or the talk page. Thank you for your concerns, but I would rather like to keep that image. Further efforts on your part to make changes on my userpage would not be appreciated. --Andy123 20:26, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Urshyam, I think what you were doing was an incorrect way of doing things. You should have placed that picture for speedy deletion by adding the appropriate template tags on the image page. Removing them from other pages is not your job. If the image gets deleted by the bureaucracy, then the image will automatically be removed from the pages that are using the image. --Andy123 12:02, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

While we're on the subject of untagged images, I see you're not notifying any uploaders, as the template recommends. Oftentimes the image was uploaded when the user was new, or the tag was overlooked, and they are happy to get the warning and fix their mistake. To take an example, Image:Brisbane River.jpg is almost certainly the creation of User:Shiftchange, an active editor whose other images are PD-self. (I notified him about this one.) It's also happened that vandals have blanked image description pages as a nasty trick. My suggestion is that you go back through the list and notify editors; slower, but forestalls the flaming torches and pitchforks. :-) Stan 12:57, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The notification message is actually in the template, in the fine print lower down. In the case of Image:Castle Hedingham Vase.jpg, it's the {{subst:image source|Image:Castle Hedingham Vase.jpg}} ~~~~ bit; cut-n-paste the line onto talk pages, it expands into full notice and instructions about what to do. (Incidentally, the uploader says he took the vase pic, so the "no license" tag is more apropos.) It's a little slower to notify people, but as you can tell from perusing my talk page, they are grateful when we do it. Stan 13:35, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
No, there's no way to guarantee that image description changes will be seen just by editing the image. I personally put all my uploads on my watchlist, but apparently not many people even know about that. Stan 13:52, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please Explain

Hi you have made modifications to two images I originally created specifically for some Articles the images are causeway_north.jpg and causeway_no.jpg one was replaced by another taken at the same spot with better lighting, the editor that posted the replacement advised at the time. What I cant understand is why you have removed the copyright status from both images. What changes did you make to the images. If they need adjustment I have the originals in higher resolutions than the post images let me know whats needed and I adjust on originals then repost Gnangarra 14:07, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey bozo these images had the correct copyright status until you changed them but IDGAF go a head and delete them, but while you are at it fix all their links, their articles and get your own replacements and also speak to the other editor who provided a replacement to one images as well Gnangarra 14:45, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles. Your edits do not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them again. If you would like to experiment, use your sandbox. Thank you.


STOP please leave the images alone prior to your interferrance they had appropriate copyright tags. Revert them back to what they were or delete I dont care, and I wont be providing further images to Wikipedia if this is how they are going to be treated. Maybe next time you will leave a message to the originator first before doing this again Gnangarra 07:20, 4 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Camden-Comerica.JPG

Go ahead and delete it. I was just showing something to someone, some months back. It's not in any article. Wahkeenah 14:43, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

And delete the Carmen Electra one, too, while you're at it. Wahkeenah 18:48, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

cansat image

did you even read the description? it says very clearly it is from the state of wisconsin, with the individual who released rights to the wikipedia. what more do you want? ... aa:talk 17:48, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

PLEASE STOP. I left you a message regarding the last image. Both of them indicate where the rights are from and who the photo belongs to. If you are automatically adding these messages, I find them most egregious. ... aa:talk 17:50, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't add a tag because I didn't see one appropriate. That's why I described it on the page, which I might add, you didn't bother to read. Since you're the eager beaver here, why don't you add the tag, as I have more important things to do than chase down non-existent copyright issues. ... aa:talk 17:55, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Carter01.JPG

Hi, Urshyam, this image is from Brandon Carter's homepage. I emailed him and he gave me permission to use it in the WP article I wrote. Clearly (yes?) the image should not be deleted, but what do I need to add to the image description page? TIA ---CH 18:05, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, the tag is still in Image:Carter01.JPG even though I believe there should be no problem. Can you see Image_talk:Carter01.JPG and either remove the tag or explain exactly what I need to fix? TIA ---CH 01:25, 7 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, now I get it. The image used in the biography is actually Image:BrandonCarter.JPG. This already had a note from me explaining the copyright situation, has has not been tagged. The image Image:Carter01.JPG is a duplicate which I inadvertently created and then (since I am not an admin) could not delete. So by all means delete Image:Carter01.JPG on the grounds of being superfluous, but please do not delete Image:BrandonCarter.JPG, because WP has permission to use the image and this one is used, in Brandon Carter. Whew, hope that's clear now! ---CH 01:36, 7 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Tag removed

I have removed the tag from Image:Castlecornet.jpg, because I state quite clearly that I am the originator of that picture. It was taken on my own camera, and I don't see where the problem lies. --MacRusgail 18:48, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

CCleaner image

That image is "promotional material", i found it on CCleaner website. http://www.ccleaner.com/help/faq_general.asp#q1.2 I take it as it can be used in Wikipedia because its art made by owner of CCleaner so that other can promote the product. -- Frap 19:05, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Cayman Islands Turtle

The image is a photograph of a pin badge in my collection. I am not sure how to change the licensing notice, perhaps you could advise me.


Image:Canarywharfview.jpg

Thanks for your message, in which you state that "the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content", and for the notice you attached to Image:Canarywharfview.jpg, which claims that "This image has no source information". I wonder, does the term "Photographer" mean anything to you, at all? As in, "Photographer: James Gibbon"? jamesgibbon 21:24, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Image Tagging Image:Camille 1969 map.gif

Hi, thanks for notifying me of this image. However, the content is outdated and no longer used on the page it was meant for. You can safely delete this if you want. -- RattleMan 22:13, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

WP:UI

Hey, I noticed you tagged Image:Carl Blegen.gif as no source, even though there is a source. A better tag would be {{nld}} (no license). --Admrb♉ltz (T | C) 22:35, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Heh, I am not the uploader of the image, but if its self no source or no license, its fate will end up the same, I am just a fellow WP:UIer here :) --Admrb♉ltz (T | C) 22:41, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Why are you so keen to get everything deleted? Rhyddfrydol 22:43, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I thought I did the copyright thing for this image I have put {{GFDL}} on the image page


???

Please read about Wikimedia Commons, before placing more tags on my talk page. -- User:Docu

Image tagging

Could you please be more careful about tagging images as "no source"? Image:Borg-chip.jpg, for example, indicates both source ("taken myself") and license terms ("GNUFDL"). --Carnildo 08:48, 4 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Camden-Comerica.JPG

Somebody else already complained about its tag. I only uploaded it to show someone who claimed that the two ballparks looked identical, which they don't. That was months ago. Delete it. Wahkeenah 09:57, 4 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image: Cavaeyere

Urshyam, Thanks for checking that the image i had uploaded was correctly done and free of copyright. I had marked it down as hol photo...but should have been more specific and said this is my own holiday photo and as such is free of copyright. I have removed the tag you placed and updated the description. Any questions? Just ask Collieman 11:20, 4 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

tagging Image:Camden-Comerica.JPG and Image:Camille 1969 map.gif

A suggestion: When tagging images for speedy deletion, instead of just entering "Uploader allows it for deletion", you should also actually provide a link to the page where the uploader posted that message. That way, I and other admins can easily verify it without wasting time trying to search for it... and effectively explain why the image was deleted if somebody asks about it later. Thanks.

Re: picture

Hi. They must have moved the page that originally contained the image. I browsed the website a little and found it again on http://history.utah.gov/news_and_events/currents/past_issues/fall04.html. The site is part of the Utah.gov domain and the Utah.gov Terms of Use apply (they are listed here (see item 4): http://www.utah.gov/disclaimer.html.

So I am not sure how to go about it. Like I said, I originally downloaded the image from a page that is no longer available at it's original location, but it is still available in their archives.

BigBen212 04:51, 5 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I want to point out that in fact, the upload does have information about where it was downloaded and what the copyright status is. BigBen212 04:55, 5 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Caballistics image

The image is, as it states, from 2000AD comic, originally published in 2004. As I had already stated and linked (from the image), 2000AD management have given Wikipedia the right to use single panels of art. I have now added artist information and a tag: can you please check these? Oh, and you might want to try reading the description before tagging things for deletion in future.Vizjim 07:31, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Images

Please delete Image:CA 66.gif and Image:KS 66.gif. I uploaded both of them and they have since been replaced by other images. In the future, please leave a smaller notice on my talk page about images without tags (although I was sure the Cherokee Turnpike image had one). I just archived my old talk page and you've already taken up half of my next one.Rt66lt 14:41, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Check1005.jpg

I'm sorry, but you will have to take it on faith - and I feel it's reasonable to ask that you do so - that I have William's permission to use a picture of an old cancelled check he wrote. He took pains to protect his identity, and I can not comply with your directive without betraying his confidence. I am left with no other option here but to stipulate that any further action against the image will be reported as vandalism. Your understanding will be appreciated. knoodelhed 22:09, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

My Roomba tagged images

Bless you for your kindness! I was so frustrated, my images get tagged and I could not untag them. It was so much work to get them into the articles just to see them deleted... Thanks! Renmiri 15:35, 7 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Image Tagging Image:Cc border.gif

Your post: Image Tagging Image:Cc border.gif

I cannot remember why I uploaded that image, yet I am sure that I do not need it anymore. I will attach a {{ifd}} tag to the image and list it at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Thankyou for informing me. --cheese-cube 01:48, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image tagging: NLD

Hello. I've noticed that you've done some great work for tagging untagged images. However, I notived that for copyright issues, you are notifying the uploader but not tagging the image with {{subst:nld}}. Please remember to tag every image, even if it will most likely be deleted in 7 days (no need to be afraid of deleted edits, I have over 800 due to work like this and with CSDs). Thanks. --ZsinjTalk 02:11, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Haha, good stuff! Check out Wikipedia:Untagged Images for the project we have going on for tagging images. I've run across a lot of your work, so you're on the right track. ;-) --ZsinjTalk 15:43, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Clivia image tagging

Thanks for telling me about the image tagging, I had uploaded that photo when I first came to Wikipedia, I had obviously not known how to do things properly. I have fixed it. It was easy as it was created by me :-). Thanks --liquidGhoul 10:52, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Def Lep photo - Classic_05.jpg

Thanks for the message. I can't remember if the photo was ever used in an article, but by the current look of the Def Leppard page, the photo isn't required - so I think we can let the image be deleted. P 11:54, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Class 171-cab.jpg

You are doing a god job with image tagging, but please be careful. This image is not licensed under the GFDL. It has a non-standard license, some of which is incompatible with the GFDL so it is not an "equivalent license". Thryduulf 13:06, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It isn't cc-by-sa either. You cannot apply a license to something unless it is explicitly available under that license. The only exception is where the image is available under a more free license that alows less free licenses to also be applied (e.g. public domain places no restrictions. cc-by allows cc-by-sa, but cc-by-sa does not allow cc-by).

Copyrighted images

Image:Cisalpine Republic 1801.png and Image:Cispadane Republic 1797.png are screenshot of The Centennia Atlas. I asked them the permission to use them on Wikipedia, and received it. What's the best tag to describe this license?--Panairjdde 15:32, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I would reccomend {{windows-software-screenshot}} --ZsinjTalk 15:46, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
{{software-screenshot}} works too. Enjoy! --ZsinjTalk 15:52, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

:Image:Class 171-cab.jpg

That looks like a non-free CC lisence would fit: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ The template for that is {{cc-by-nc-sa}}, which forwards to {{db-noncom}}. --ZsinjTalk 16:28, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If {{cc-by-sa-2.5}} isn't acceptable, tag as {{subst:nld}} and have the uploader tag the image. If it isn't tagged within 7 days, "So sorry." --ZsinjTalk 16:40, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
OH OH! {{CopyrightedFreeUseProvidedThat|restrictions}} :-D --ZsinjTalk 16:43, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your notice that this image has no source information, however if you actually read the image page you'll see it reads "Sourced from http://www.footyjumpers.com/, Image used with permission."

Congreve titlepage 1692

Hi,

I just found your message on Congreve's Novel Incognita (1692), the titlepage. I uploaded several 17th and 18th century-titlepages and assumed they were all free of copy right restrictions due to their age - and due to the mode of publication i.e. as visual quote (I published hundreds of these in a book on early 18th century novels). --Olaf Simons 16:24, 9 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

G'day there! I had completely forgotten about that image; thanks for bringing it to my attention. The image is unnecessary and orphaned and I've deleted it (I should have done so months ago). I just thought I'd point out one thing, though: just because an image doesn't have a tag, doesn't mean it's got no copyright info. fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 00:34, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Images posted by CoolFox

Thank you for calling attention to the lack of a tag on Image:Crpf.gif, and giving me a warning instead of just deleting the image outright. I've put a symbol tag on the image, stated a fair use clause, and purpose of the image in the article. You may go ahead (if you possess the administrative power) and delete the orphaned Image:CoolFox outside.jpg, as I have removed it from my userpage intentionaly and do not intend on posting it again. Good day to you, and thank you again. --CoolFox 00:39, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

thanks for being

a watchdog for the photo copyright issue. You recently sent me 4 notices that the copyright of some of my pictures were not done correctly, and I just fixed that. A side note is that I posted a lot of photos at Gettysburg Battlefield, including those, and the curator of that article decided that the pictures were not to be used there, so removed them. Thus these shots are not used in any article, and so perhaps should be removed. Do you have an opinion? Should unconnected photographs stay in wikipedia for future use or to fill in a particular stage of the article's development, or not? Life is supposed to be interesting. Carptrash 00:43, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

rather than tossing the images I plan on contributing at least a stub on the artists who created the statues shown in the pictures and thus have an article to link them to. Thanks for your involvment. Carptrash 16:12, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
