Response to: Possibly unfree File:Stu Kerr as Professor Kool.jpg by Finnusertop

Hello Finnusertop. I went to the link provided for the "Wikipedia:Possibly unfree files" site that you referenced in your talk and could not find the file that you questioned.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Possibly_unfree_files/2015_November_17#File:Stu_Kerr_as_Professor_Kool.jpg

Secondly, to address the core issue, this file (photo) can be found in the Baltimore Sunpapers here: http://www.baltimoresun.com/bal-stukerr0701-pic-photo.html

As you can read in the caption this was a "Handout Photo" and no copyright or attribution is given nor is warranted. This is a national newspaper.

Thank you, Owlster59 (talk) 19:33, 17 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I had forgot a step in the process. The discussion can now be found at Possibly unfree files. Finnusertop (talk | guestbook | contribs) 20:36, 17 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

File source problem with File:Craig Titus Mugshot.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Craig Titus Mugshot.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, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Disambiguation link notification for November 22

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Tinkers Creek (Cuyahoga River), you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Oakwood, Ohio and Franklin Township, Ohio. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Thank you for the heads-up. I fixed these two links and they are no longer pointing to a disambiguation page. I will be more careful in the future. Owlster59 (talk) 15:04, 22 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Weather modifcations

This is part thank-you and part warning. Your edit [1] looks like a possible copyright violation [2]. I like that you took the time to find citations and improve that content. Perhaps do some more paraphrasing in the future, thanks. Lucas559 (talk) 17:37, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
