File source and copyright licensing problem with File:290px-Aizen.png

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:290px-Aizen.png. 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, 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, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, we also need to know the terms of the license that the copyright holder has published the file under, usually done by adding a licensing tag. 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 meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia: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 created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged files may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the file will be deleted 48 hours after 02:22, 21 July 2010 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 02:22, 21 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Aizen image

Firstly, please read WP:NFC before uploading images. There is a somewhat involved process to go through so that they aren't deleted, as you just found out from Eeekster above. Secondly, the infobox image of a character should generally be that character as introduced, and duplicate images should be avoided. We already have a picture showing him in his post-rebellion appearance, so another adds nothing to the article and is therefore not justifiable under Wikipedia's interpretation of educational fair use. Sorry if this is a bit much to swallow all at once, Wikipedia's image policies aren't known for their user friendliness. If you have any questions, please contact me on my talk page and I'll do my best to assist you. --erachima talk 02:27, 21 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edits

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 14:24, 21 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I did recently become aware of that. And I am aware that you're a bot but... it's too well written not to reply. Arawn 14:26, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

Citations in episode articles

Regarding your edit summary here, you need a citation to show that this is an intentional parody and that citation needs to come from a reliable source. Yes, the fact that the two are related is obvious to you and it's obvious to me but that's just not good enough for Wikipedia. It needs to be cited so that someone who has never seen either piece of source material can look at it and say "this is a fact". For things like this it seems silly but that is what the rules are. For more thoughts on this issue with longer explanations you might read the recent conversation some of us had at Talk:A Clockwork Origin#Dr. Banjo about the same types of issues in that article. Also, I'm not trying to harp on you, just wanted to answer your question, if you can find reliable sources linking the episode of Futurama with the Star Trek episodes in question I would be happy to help you find a good way of integrating the information into the article.

Yes, lots of rules but there are lots of people around here who are happy to help you figure them out. Feel free to contact me on my talk page if you ever need help or have questions. Star dust 8212 11:38, 25 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
