Image copyright problem with Image:Ir111_stromelisha_200x315.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Ir111_stromelisha_200x315.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Misplaced Pages because of copyright law (see Misplaced Pages's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Misplaced Pages are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator.

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you have questions about copyright tagging of images, post on Misplaced Pages talk:Image copyright tags or User talk:Carnildo/images. 13:05, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Commercial use of Image:Kevin strom contract.jpg

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Image:Kevin strom contract.jpg, by another Misplaced Pages user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Image:Kevin strom contract.jpg is an image licensed as "for non-commercial use only" or "used with permission for use on Misplaced Pages only" which was either uploaded on or after 2005-05-19 or is not used in any articles (CSD I3).

If you created this media file and want to use it on Misplaced Pages, you may re-upload it (or amend the image description if it has not yet been deleted) and use the license {{GFDL-self}} to license it under the GFDL, or {{cc-by-sa-2.5}} to license it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license, or use {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain.

If you did not create this media file but want to use it on Misplaced Pages, there are two ways to proceed. First, you may choose one of the fair use tags from this list if you believe one of those fair use rationales applies to this file. Second, you may want to contact the copyright holder and request that they make the media available under a free license.

This bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Image:Kevin strom contract.jpg itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. If you have any questions about what to do next or why your image was nominated for speedy deletion please ask at Misplaced Pages:Media copyright questions. Thanks. --Android Mouse Bot 2 19:34, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

June 2007

Welcome to Misplaced Pages. An article you recently created, Bbad.com, may not conform to some of Misplaced Pages's guidelines for new articles, so it will shortly be removed (if it hasn't been already). Please use the sandbox for any tests you may want to do and please read our introduction page to learn more about contributing. Thank you. Q 23:51, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Pom.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Pom.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 for use on Misplaced Pages (see our policy for non-free media).

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 non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Coredesat 02:39, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Image:Bbadscreenshot.jpg

I have tagged Image:Bbadscreenshot.jpg as {{orphaned fairuse}}. In order for the image to be kept at Misplaced Pages, it must be included in at least one article. If this image is being used as a link target instead of displayed inline, please add {{not orphan}} to the image description page to prevent it being accidentally marked as orphaned again.

BBAD.com

If you've got reliable published sources (independent of the website itself) about those issues, go on and post links to them on my user talk page, and I can take a look at them when I get the chance. If it looks like they'd help the website meet the WP:WEB guideline, I'll restore the article; otherwise, you'll have to go to WP:DRV. --Coredesat 05:48, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Welcome to Misplaced Pages. Please do not add unreferenced or inadequately referenced controversial biographical information concerning living persons to Misplaced Pages articles, as you did to Image:Kevin strom contract.jpg. Thank you. John254 15:11, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
