License tagging for Image:Waterhouse.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Waterhouse.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. 10:06, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Rail-Head

Regarding the article you created, Rail-Head, poem by Gilbeert Waterhouse 1893-1916:

In the future, you will be able to fix article titles like this by using the 'Move' tab at the top of the page. You probably can't do this right now, just because you're a new user; page-moving can be a very destructive form of vandalism, so users have to be a little bit established before having this ability.
Article titles generally should be as concise as possible; so this one would just be called "Rail-Head".
The full text of a poem is not typically included in a Wikipedia article unless the poem is very short. I have copied the text to Rail-Head on Wikisource, a project which collects text such as this. The Wikipedia article should contain other information revelant to this poem.

As far as the image upload, you really just need to mention where you got the image; if it was from a website, put the url on this page, and if you don't figure out its copyright status, someone else can do it for you.

I hope you don't get too frustrated with Wikipedia - it can be rather overwhelming at first, but we don't bite. Anything you screw up will be fixed, so feel free to contribute boldly! ~ Booya ^Bazooka 19:33, 7 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

To respond on a talk page, just edit the page and add your text to the bottom. Use one or more colons at the beginning to indent replies, and don't forget to sign your post with ~~~~.

Image:Rail-headfrontcover.jpg still needs a copyright tag. And just to be certain: You tagged Image:Waterhouse_Grave.jpg and Image:Cruickshank3.jpg as PD-self; this means that they are photos that you took yourself. Judging by the apparent age of the pictures in Image:Cruickshank3.jpg, I'm wondering if this is accurate? ~ Booya ^Bazooka 18:23, 9 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with Image:Robert_Cruickshank1.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Robert_Cruickshank1.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

"Coming in splendour" is in Rail-Head; Sonnet IV of "Four Sonnets" p. 17. I haven't checked to see if there were any emendations.... DJ 13:57, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

AfD Nomination: Wooden Spoon Society

An editor has nominated the article Wooden Spoon Society for deletion, under the Articles for deletion process. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the nomination (also see What Wikipedia is not and Deletion policy). Your opinions on why the topic of the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome: participate in the discussion by editing Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Wooden Spoon Society. Add four tildes like this ~~~~ to sign your comments. You can also edit the article Wooden Spoon Society during the discussion, but do not remove the "Articles for Deletion" template (the box at the top of the article), this will not end the deletion debate.

Unspecified source for Image:Rail-headfrontcover.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Rail-headfrontcover.jpg. 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, then 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, then 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:Fair use, 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 23:10, 3 December 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Jusjih 23:10, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Central Communications Command

I've removed the {{refimprove}} tag you added to Central Communications Command, which I'm frankly baffled by; this is one of the most heavily referenced articles of this length on the entire 'pedia, and - in light of AN/I discussions of the Met Police's repeated attempts to "improve" it - it's heavily monitored and any even remotely controversial claim is cited to within an inch of its life. If the tag wasn't added in error, do feel free to re-add it, but it would probably help to make a note of which section you're concerned about. — iridescent 19:13, 28 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (Image:WS General SQ with strap.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:WS General SQ with strap.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) 05:48, 6 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Gonker44! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. Please note that all biographies of living persons must be sourced. If you were to add reliable, secondary sources to this article, it would greatly help us with the current 329 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

HMY Kethailes moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, HMY Kethailes, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Bancroft's School alumni facebook page

See the article's talk page fo why I removed this. And please read WP:MINOR. It's not a minor edit to change content, and it certainly isn't a minor edit to restore challenged content. Meters (talk) 22:52, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
