Vietnam War

I see what happened- and have taken away the warnings. Cheers!--Kungfu Adam 22:36, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

3RR warnings

You are in danger of violating the three-revert rule on a page. Please cease further reverts or you may be blocked from further editing. --Ragib 20:03, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

Vietnam People's Army

The Henry Kissinger article is hardly the place to fight over what is the correct abbreviation for Vietnam People's Army. May I strongly suggest that if you have an issue about this, discuss it at Talk:Vietnam People's Army? Right now Vietnam People's Army asserts that PAVN is considered incorrect, which was my recollection as well (which is the reason I originally went over there and checked). - Jmabel | Talk 21:12, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:Norodom-Sihanouk.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Norodom-Sihanouk.jpg. 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. 15:08, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Image tagging for Image:Spring5.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Spring5.gif. 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. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

Warsaw pact seal

The Warsaw pact seal is under fair use. It was previously tagged as {{coatofarms}} and now tagged as {{logo}}. Simply because the body does not exist anymore does not mean copyright is not held by some entity. The image must be used under terms of fair use here unless the body that holds copyright has been identified and has knowingly released any rights to the image. Please do not re-insert the image back into the template without performing this verification work. If you have any questions about this, I'd be happy to answer. All the best, --Durin 17:03, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

  • {{seal}} or {{logo}} regardless, if the image is freely available either of those tags is inappropriate. Please find an appropriate tag and retag the image with it. {{seal}} means it's fair use. Simply because it was not an official seal does not mean it is not copyrightable. SOMEbody created it. SOMEbody originally held copyright to it. Until it is verified who holds or held that copyright and whether or not those copyrights have been released, we can not use the image under other than fair use claims. --Durin 17:50, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
