Your pictures of LaPush and Dungeness

Thanks for uploading. A couple of things: 1) When you post them to the articles, could you please set the picture size? Otherwise they are displayed at full size. I've fixed the above-mentioned articles, but if you could do this in future that'd be great. 2) Also, would it be possible to upload your photos without the watermarks? I don't know if there's a specific policy against that, but I do know that it's preferred that pictures do not include watermarks if possible. Thanks! --Lukobe 06:21, 1 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of DaveManning

A tag has been placed on DaveManning, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia per CSD g12.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet very basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the article and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the page's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. --Ben^complain 06:21, 8 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

DaveManning

A tag has been placed on DaveManning, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the article and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Tag removal and CopyVio

_ _ Your removal of the "advertising" tag from Dave Manning (musician), without comment, and when no change has arguably alleviated the problem, is fully as problematic as simple vandalism, and repetition will not be tolerated. If you have not consulted the notice on talk:Dave Manning (musician), do so, and take the steps necessary to license the content under GDFL. If you have already done so, you should request via the same (sending and receiving) EMail addresses that a WP administrator confirm your compliance on that talk page. Failing that, expect me, before long, to review the evidence of copyright violation to determine whether the page is subject to speedy deletion, and if so, to delete it without further notice.
_ _ Do not remove the CopyVio tag again without verifying that the required evidence appears on the article's talk page.

File permission problem with File:Mayor-John-Engen.jpg

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Mayor-John-Engen.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-enwikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-enwikimedia.org.

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, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. 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 provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Killiondude (talk) 07:43, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

File copyright problem with File:Sentinel logo.jpg

File Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading File:Sentinel logo.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 file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Admrboltz (talk) 21:00, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of File:DSC00599.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:DSC00599.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image licensed as "for non-commercial use only," "non-derivative use" or "used with permission," it has not been shown to comply with the limited standards for the use of non-free content. [1], and it was either uploaded on or after 2005-05-19, or is not used in any articles. If you agree with the deletion, there is no need to do anything. If, however, you believe that this image may be retained on Wikipedia under one of the permitted conditions then:

state clearly the source of the image. If it has been copied from elsewhere on the web you should provide links to: the image itself, the page which uses it and the page which contains the license conditions.
add the relevant copyright tag.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), 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. 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. Acather96 (talk) 07:20, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
