			== 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)

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)

Vandalism Warnings

Please do not remove vandalism warnings, on your talk page. --K.Z 03:03, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Also, do not vandalize and blank out other user's talk pages. // 3R1C 22:58, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Please discontinue vandalizing User:Peptuck's talk page. // 3R1C 23:58, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to delete or blank page contents or templates from Misplaced Pages, you will be blocked.

Fair use

I see you've edited some since my previous post. Did you read Misplaced Pages:Fair use criteria? It is against policy to include images inline on your user page or on others' talk pages. Please remove them from your user page. --Iamunknown 22:17, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

You can link to the images if you would like to, but the CANNOT be displayed on your userpage. --BigDT 01:27, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Contra3_Final_Boss.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Contra3_Final_Boss.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 {{fairusein|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 03:42, 28 February 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BigDT 03:42, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Naked_Elite.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Naked_Elite.jpg. 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. 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)
