Where did you get the image from? Image:Parts of an Oscilliscope.gif. Did you draw it yourself? We need to add copyright tags to the image. BTW welcome to wikipedia, you're gonna love it here. Theresa Knott (a tenth stroke) 18:03, 10 July 2005 (UTC)
Image:Where hurricanes strike.gif
You uploaded the image Image:Where hurricanes strike.gif. It has now been listed as a copyvio due to its having been copied from the World Book web site. Any other images you uploaded from there need to be removed and tagged for deletion as well. -- Cyrius|✎ 05:41, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
- I'm tagging every image you have uploaded as a copyvio to be deleted. Absent any other explanation, it all appears to be stolen from the same site. Why did you think that was acceptable? -- Cyrius|✎ 05:48, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
My images weren't taken from the World Book site, so I am reverting those articles. If you wish to remove the images, then tag them first for further discussion. --Rickyboy 01:33, 18 July 2005
- They are all tagged as possible copyright violations already. Stop reinserting them into articles. -- Cyrius|✎ 07:49, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
Just because they are possible copyright violations does not mean that they are. I will not stop reverting your arbitrary actions. -- Rickyboy 01:51, 18 July 2005
- Then you'll be blocked from editing for reinsertion of illegally copied material. -- Cyrius|✎ 07:54, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
I wouldn't do that if I were you...
Besides, even if they were violations of copyright law, they would still be justified because people shouldn't have to pay to learn things. A picture is worth a thousand words, and you're making all of those articles much more difficult to understand. So, let World Book defend itself if it wants to. The readership for World Book and Misplaced Pages are completely different.
In any case, it isn't even off the World Book site! -- Rickyboy 02:02, 18 July 2005
