Image source problem with Image:Lucas bolsius.jpg

Image Copyright problem

This is an automated message from a robot. You have recently uploaded Image:Lucas bolsius.jpg. 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, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. 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 uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 22:55, 24 September 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. If you believe you received this message in error, please notify the bot's owner.

License tagging for Image:M VA0958.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:M VA0958.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, 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 Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 23:08, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Notability of Johannes François Snelleman

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Johannes François Snelleman, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Johannes François Snelleman seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Johannes François Snelleman, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Hi, the recent edit you made to Hendrik Pieter Nicolaas Muller has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thanks. Will ^(talk) 20:25, 1 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Was not testing, but should have locked the edit as in use; will also make better use of My Private Sandbox. Michel Doortmont (talk) 21:42, 12 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with Image:WFReitz CHM VA0957.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:WFReitz CHM VA0957.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 14:17, 14 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your statement on the talk page confused releasing an image to the public, and releasing an image into the public domain, which are different concepts. PhilKnight (talk) 22:41, 6 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

For some reason source description did not copy. I restored this. Image is solidly in the '70 years or less' public domain of the three PD-tags used (they complement each other!). The image was produced in 1900 in the Netherlands. Note on reusage was misconstrued or phrased inaccurately: keeper of the image (Provincial Archives of the Free State, South Africa) just appreciates full recognition of custodianship in re-usage and notification through address given. Hope this suffices; please remove tag. Michel Doortmont (talk) 20:26, 15 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks for clearing it up. I have one more question: What do you mean "source description did not copy"? Where did you copy from? MECU≈talk 12:39, 16 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - It did not copy from the standard template that I (re)used, I think. Michel Doortmont (talk) 15:18, 16 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
