== Images == | |||
Please excuse the large notifications above ... feel free to remove them once you have addressed the issue - there is a ''pro forma'' requirement that you be notified. Basically, the bottom line is that under our ], every image needs two things. The first is a source - meaning either a URL where you downloaded the image or a statement like "I personally took this photo", "I captured this screenshot", etc. The second thing is an ]. Anything that is a game screenshot should have {{tl|videogame-screenshot}}. If you were to take a photo with your camera and upload it, you might use {{tl|PD-self}} or {{tl|GFDL-self}}. | |||
Under our policy for "non-free" or "fair use" images, non-free images are absolutely, 100%, not permitted outside of article space. They may be removed at any time they are found and non-free images that are not used in any article will be deleted. The reason is that Misplaced Pages has "downstream" uses of our content. For example, ask.com and about.com host copies of Misplaced Pages articles. Whereas Misplaced Pages is non-profit and could get away with a lot of things, some of the downstream uses are commercial and there can be legal problems if we are sending non-free images to these places in a way that cannot be considered fair use. Images in userspace is one such problem. | |||
Non-free images cannot be used in userspace - if you continue to add them, your userpage may be protected (meaning that you would not be able to edit your userpage) or you could be blocked (meaning that you would lose your editing privileges). Thank you for your understanding. --] 03:55, 28 February 2007 (UTC) | |||
== Images on user page == | |||
I understand your desire to illustrate your user page with images. As said by myself twice before and BigDT, however, you may not use non-free or fair use images on your user page. That is an ''enforced'' policy. Note that repeatedly reinserting the images may be considered vandalism, specifically defined on ] as "...addition, removal, or change of content made in a deliberate attempt to compromise the integrity of Misplaced Pages." I have again removed your images from your user space. I ask you to not reinsert them. You may be blocked. --] 01:45, 1 March 2007 (UTC) | |||
Furthermore, I have reverted your edits to the Contra3 images that you uploaded. Note that {{Google}} is not valid image copyright tag. Please read ] for more information about image uploads. --] 01:50, 1 March 2007 (UTC) | |||
== Repeated non-free image use on user page == | |||
Note that I have posted a note at ] regarding you repeatedly inserting non-free images into your user page. --] 02:29, 1 March 2007 (UTC) | |||
:This is your last warning. Misuse fair use images again and you will be blocked. Thank you for understanding. ] 02:30, 1 March 2007 (UTC) | |||
::I have blocked you for 24 hours, and protected your user page. Please read our ] carefully and follow it in future. ] 02:44, 1 March 2007 (UTC) | |||
In reply to your note on my talk page, please note that in order to use a photo on your user page, it must be released by the copyright holder under a '''free''' license - meaning, in plain English, that they allow anyone to use it for any purpose. The photos on my user page are all ones that I took with my own camera and have released to Misplaced Pages under a free license. --] 03:02, 1 March 2007 (UTC) | |||

License tagging for Image:Arbiter kneeling naked.png
Thanks for uploading Image:Arbiter kneeling naked.png. Misplaced Pages gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Misplaced Pages, 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 Misplaced Pages:Media copyright questions. 21:05, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

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 Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

See Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Misplaced Pages:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 03:45, 28 February 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BigDT 03:45, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
Images
Please excuse the large notifications above ... feel free to remove them once you have addressed the issue - there is a pro forma requirement that you be notified. Basically, the bottom line is that under our image use policy, every image needs two things. The first is a source - meaning either a URL where you downloaded the image or a statement like "I personally took this photo", "I captured this screenshot", etc. The second thing is an image copyright tag. Anything that is a game screenshot should have {{videogame-screenshot}}. If you were to take a photo with your camera and upload it, you might use {{PD-self}} or {{GFDL-self}}.
Under our policy for "non-free" or "fair use" images, non-free images are absolutely, 100%, not permitted outside of article space. They may be removed at any time they are found and non-free images that are not used in any article will be deleted. The reason is that Misplaced Pages has "downstream" uses of our content. For example, ask.com and about.com host copies of Misplaced Pages articles. Whereas Misplaced Pages is non-profit and could get away with a lot of things, some of the downstream uses are commercial and there can be legal problems if we are sending non-free images to these places in a way that cannot be considered fair use. Images in userspace is one such problem.
Non-free images cannot be used in userspace - if you continue to add them, your userpage may be protected (meaning that you would not be able to edit your userpage) or you could be blocked (meaning that you would lose your editing privileges). Thank you for your understanding. --BigDT 03:55, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
Images on user page
I understand your desire to illustrate your user page with images. As said by myself twice before and BigDT, however, you may not use non-free or fair use images on your user page. That is an enforced policy. Note that repeatedly reinserting the images may be considered vandalism, specifically defined on Misplaced Pages:Vandalism as "...addition, removal, or change of content made in a deliberate attempt to compromise the integrity of Misplaced Pages." I have again removed your images from your user space. I ask you to not reinsert them. You may be blocked. --Iamunknown 01:45, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
Furthermore, I have reverted your edits to the Contra3 images that you uploaded. Note that {{Google}} is not valid image copyright tag. Please read Misplaced Pages:Image use policy for more information about image uploads. --Iamunknown 01:50, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
Repeated non-free image use on user page
Note that I have posted a note at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding you repeatedly inserting non-free images into your user page. --Iamunknown 02:29, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
- This is your last warning. Misuse fair use images again and you will be blocked. Thank you for understanding. Picaroon 02:30, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
- I have blocked you for 24 hours, and protected your user page. Please read our image policy carefully and follow it in future. Chick Bowen 02:44, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
In reply to your note on my talk page, please note that in order to use a photo on your user page, it must be released by the copyright holder under a free license - meaning, in plain English, that they allow anyone to use it for any purpose. The photos on my user page are all ones that I took with my own camera and have released to Misplaced Pages under a free license. --BigDT 03:02, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
Administration-related warnings
Please do not remove administration-related warnings from your talk page unless you are archiving all them (see Misplaced Pages:How to archive a talk page). Thanks, Iamunknown 03:52, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
Image copyright problem with Image:Doom3_Shotgun.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Doom3_Shotgun.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Misplaced Pages's policy on images. 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 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:

Deletion Debate Blanking
Do not remove discussions from deletion debate pages as you did here. The notices and comments are needed to establish community consensus about the status of the page, and removing them is considered vandalism. An administrator will close the debate appropriately. Thanks. -- JLaTondre 17:05, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
Unspecified source for Image:Arbiter_kneeling_naked_2.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Arbiter_kneeling_naked_2.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, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.
As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self-no-disclaimers}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Misplaced Pages:Fair use, use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Misplaced Pages:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 17:19, 2 March 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Iamunknown 17:19, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
Indefinitely blocked
That's quite enough. You've been given plenty of opportunities to learn how our image policy works and you've declined to do so. You are indefinitely blocked from editing. Chick Bowen 19:41, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
Orphaned fair use image (Image:Arbiter_kneeling_naked.png)
Thanks for uploading Image:Arbiter_kneeling_naked.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. 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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Iamunknown 03:13, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Help Me!
This guy has blocked me forever! Can you please stop this, I stopped putting images on my page and he does this! This guy is being a jerk and is probaly a abusive admin. Do something quick please!!!!!!!!!!!Master Cheif 001 02:04, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
- Four things:
- Please consider reading through every word of those four texts. Frankly, your actions have jeopardized Misplaced Pages and, if continued, could have resulted in Misplaced Pages being sued and shut down. --Iamunknown 02:14, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
I will unblock you if you can indicate that you have read and understood the policies Iamunknown mentions. If you continue to insist our copyright policies don't apply to you, however, you will remain blocked. Chick Bowen 06:51, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
I have read through a second time. Just to let you know the last mistake I did wasn't really my page. I was just fooling around with it. So basically I understood the first time around.Master Cheif 001 02:19, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
- All right, I've unblocked you and unprotected your user page. I would strongly advise you not to upload any more images unless they are your own photographs taken with your own camera, and not to put any images on your user page unless you took them or they're clearly licensed as GFDL or public domain. Chick Bowen 04:50, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
- Master Cheif, if you would ever like to ask anyone a question, feel free to come ask me. Just come to my user talk page at User talk:Iamunknown. --Iamunknown 04:59, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Image:Arbiter kneeling naked.png
Master Cheif, did you read through Commons:Derivative works and Misplaced Pages:Fair use and consider Chick Bowen's advice, "I would strongly advise you not to upload any more images unless they are your own photographs taken with your own camera"? --Iamunknown 01:27, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
Delete once and for all
Please all admins. delete my account there's nothing left for me on wikipedia it sucks like all of you FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK YOU!Master Cheif 001 23:57, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
- Hmm, I am not an administrator, but I know that administrators generally do not block on demand. Also, because of the requirements of the GFDL, your account cannot be "deleted". You do, however, have the Right to vanish. You say there is nothing left for you on Misplaced Pages. Surely there is something. What are you interests? --Iamunknown 01:53, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
- Get over it. Go outside and breathe some fresh air. Relax, sunlight isn't harmful. By the way, while you're on Misplaced Pages, it's ok to browse around, and even if one of your contributions is rejected, there is (1) always a reason why and (2) alternatives that you can contribute to. Neil the Cellist 23:56, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
- Oh and by the way, I'd like to point out that while you stayed on Misplaced Pages, you managed to misspell "Covenant", "Elite", "Chief", and "naked" wrong multiple times. Neil the Cellist 23:59, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
