In response to your reply: No problem. Here are a few tips:

Use the preview button so you don't clog the recent changes log.
Always provide an edit summary, such as "added image, removed link" etc
Don't copy directly from websites, rephrase everything in your own words (unless you absolutely need to quote something, because the quote is important)
When you leave a comment on someone's talk page, always use the text --~~~~ to display your signature and the timestamp.
The problem you're having with Image:Lighthouse Furniture Logo.jpg can be fixed by replacing the licensing with {{Non-free logo}}, that will tell people that it's a logo and it's copyrighted/trademarked to the organization.

You can leave me a comment on my talk page if you have any questions about Wikipedia guidelines. Thanks! --Dan Leveille^TALK 20:14, 22 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In response to your reply: Having them say it's alright to use on Wikipedia isn't alright. They need to agree that it can be used for commercial use and can be altered, etc. There are a few things you can do in this case. You need to have them release the photos under a Free License, such as Creative Commons:

either by a simple notice on the website, or a separate page
or have them send their consent to Wikipedia
or have them create an account on Wikipedia and upload it to the site, where they can state that they are the copyright holder and they are releasing it under a license.

It's a lot of work, but it's needed to ensure that everything is legal. You can see Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for technical documentation. --Dan Leveille^TALK 20:33, 22 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In response to your reply: It needs to be stated somewhere that he releases it under a free license. I think the easiest way is to have him put a simple bit on one page of his website saying "All photos are licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 License." and then you can add {{cc-by-3.0}} to the license of the image and in the Summary put a note that the copyright holder released it under the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 License, and link to the page on his website which states that. Make sure him/you actually read the license though and agree to it though. Oh, and remember, at the end of your comments on talk page (like mine) always put --~~~~~ which will insert your signature and timestamp, otherwise a bot will come by the page and automatically add "this unsigned comment was made by [user] at [this time]." --Dan Leveille^TALK 20:51, 22 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Another message: I edited Lighthouse Furniture a bit, changing some links and formatting a reference. I'm going to delete the category Charity from it because apparently that category doesn't exist. If the organization fits the definition of charitable organization, which varies from country to country I suppose, I suggest you add [[Category:Charities based in England]] to the bottom of the page. --Coppertwig (talk) 21:19, 22 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Great. Here's another category you can also add if you think it's appropriate: [[Category:Furniture retailers]] . If that isn't quite right, then perhaps the category [[Category:Furniture]] . --Coppertwig (talk) 22:34, 22 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Lighthouse Furniture Logo.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Lighthouse Furniture Logo.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 23:07, 22 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:Lighthouse Furniture logo.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Lighthouse Furniture logo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. 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 Wikipedia (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 "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" 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. Hugahoody (talk) 20:28, 1 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of The Irish Language in Britain

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on The Irish Language in Britain requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Drmies (talk) 17:35, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
