Image copyright problem with Image:WhiteRiver1914.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:WhiteRiver1914.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. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Thank you. --the iBook of the Revolution 22:37, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

List of geopolitical simulators

Good that you have taken interest in govsims/nationsims, but that is the purpose of your article? If you read the discussions on the govsim and nationsim pages, you will see that there have already been great controversy regarding the lists and therefore there's a concensus that any lists should be kept off-site.

As for your list, nationstates and choose your government aren't geopolitical simulators. Since you cannot interact with other nations. Last Crusade and Growing nations are dead, and have been dead a very long time and even when they were active they were hardly notable. I know, I played one of them (the one that has more then 10 posts). Itake 04:04, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:BroadRippleAve.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Misplaced Pages's policy on images.

Image Tagging Image:Diesel can 16 photo angled.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Diesel can 16 photo angled.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Misplaced Pages (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL-self}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then 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 media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. 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 unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Shyam 18:19, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:MorseStatue.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:MorseStatue.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Misplaced Pages (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then 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 media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too.

Personal attacks

Please do not use your user page to launch personal attacks against other editors. I've removed the mention of Itake, and his insulting rebuttal to it, from your user page to prevent this escalating any further. If you want to contest the deletion of this article, take it to WP:DRV. If you've got off-site problems with this editor, try to keep them off-site. --Sam Blanning (formerly Malthusian) (talk) 21:37, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
