Please don't upload any more copyright images that you find online

Hello. I am Diannaa and I am an administrator on this wiki. I noticed you are uploading images, almost all of which have been tagged for deletion or are already deleted. Please don't upload any more photos that you find on the Internet or elsewhere. Photos that you find online are copyright, and we are not allowed to display them on this wiki. There's more information about copyrights and how it applies to Wikipedia at Wikipedia:FAQ/Copyright. Copyright law and its application are complex matters, and you should not upload any further images until you have taken the time to read and understand our policies. Continuing on your present course will likely lead to a block. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 13:03, 19 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

1. i asked you about copyright issue on this page before and you couldnt be bothered to respond 2. i already read the copyright guidance closely and thought id done it correctly 3. since you are a moron who cant be bothered to help new users and just threatens them with blocks, ill just forget about uploading any images anymore, you got your wish PS: randomly slamming in templates is useless, if you want to actually help you have to explain the specific problem with each image in your own words

Sorry for not noticing your previous inquiry. The main issues with your photo uploads are: (1) You need to provide a source for each image you upload. (2) We only accept non-free images of people who are dead. Non-free images of living people do not meet our non-free content requirements because (at least in theory) a free image could still be obtained. I see that your question of July 10 was more about prose, and the answer again has to do with our non-free content policy. Excessive quotations from non-free sources are not permitted, because they are easily replaced by freely available prose that we write ourselves. Wikipedia articles need to be for the most part purpose-written prose that we write ourselves, not a collection of quotations. — Diannaa (talk) 21:33, 21 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

1. asshole, your automated 'copyright' bot has come up wrong, that joshua landis website is not the source. that website itself took the information from the following 2. the source was http://www.aymennjawad.org/17860/liwa-shuhada-al-yarmouk-history-and-analysis 3. which displays no copyright on its page and is a free blog 4. all the information was rewritten in my own words

so fucking apologise you fucking administrators are morons and tyrants who hate wikipedia, clearly

I have deleted two of your image uploads

I have deleted your two image uploads File:Amaqclaim.jpg and File:Amaqadvert.jpg, which you uploaded with obviously incorrect copyright tagse; the images do not qualify as PD-textlogo. They are not logos, and they are not simple enough to qualify as PD-text, and they do not qualify for fair use. The logo File:Amaq.jpg I have converted to fair use. — Diannaa (talk) 19:40, 25 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:Amaq.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Amaq.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 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).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:12, 11 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Abu Abdullah al-Madani

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 Abu Abdullah al-Madani requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Non-free rationale for File:Islambouli-with-Taha-Musa.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Islambouli-with-Taha-Musa.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. 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 media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F6 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 20:25, 22 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
