License tagging for Image:Diversity poster busse.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Diversity poster busse.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. 22:07, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Cbcradio3.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Cbcradio3.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media 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 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 04:26, 8 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Practivism.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Practivism.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. 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 you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Melesse (talk) 00:01, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Mark Busse

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Mark Busse, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://artofpeace.ca/wiki/index.php?title=Mark_Busse. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.)

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page.

Speedy deletion nomination of Mark Busse

A tag has been placed on Mark Busse requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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. freshacconci talktalk 01:54, 21 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Mark Busse

Hello, gdcbc. This is in response to your e-mail inquiry regarding the deletion of the Mark Busse page. The article was deleted per WP:G4 guidelines: Recreation of a page that was deleted per a deletion discussion. There have been two previous discussions concerning this individual: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mark Busse in February 2006 and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mark Busse (2nd nomination) in July 2008. Both discussions established consensus that the individual was not notable enough to merit a biography.

The latest version you submitted did not improve on those notability concerns. It was substantially the same article. You even argued in your e-mail that the article should not qualify as a copyright violation of [1] because that article was the same one which you " original authored... at the previous entry in Wikipedia." Because it was an unimproved version, it was deleted for the fifth time.

I have still seen no evidence on searches that this person can pass the concerns of previous discussions. The reference examples which you provided in the e-mail will not satisfy the notability criteria for significant coverage. For example, writing a magazine article is not significant (millions of people do it -- many of us have written several thousand); name mentioned talking about somebody else, writing a blog, and industry conference talks are insignificant -- millions of people do these also -- and none of these are reliable independent sources which discuss Mark Busse.

I can offer to move the article to WP:INCUBATE where it can be accessed for improvement outside of Wikipedia article space for about 30 days and then checked by an administrator. However, if it shows no improvement, it will be deleted again. Let me know if you wish to try this route. If you any further questions, please feel free to ask. Regards. — CactusWriter | ^needles 17:34, 21 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Natalie Telewiak

Hello Gdcbc,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Natalie Telewiak for deletion, because it seems to be copied from another source, probably infringing copyright.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to rewrite it in your own words, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!
