attribution

G'day mate. Thanks for the email, and letting me know what your intentions are regarding that image. I have no desire to receive credit for the content I release into the public domain, my satisfaction is derived from sharing it, albeit in my own peculiar style. However, I think attribution is important for a variety of reasons, a mention of wikimedia and my user name—or a url—should be adequate. Good onya for your work with wildlife, and for being polite and conscientious. cygnis insignis 11:31, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Bennetts Tree Kangaroo Kimberley NQld.JPG

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Bennetts Tree Kangaroo Kimberley NQld.JPG. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status and its source. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously.

If you did not create this work entirely 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. You will also need to state under what licensing terms it was released. Please refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file.

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 also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 00:51, 28 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

 I was doing all that when I got the message that the page had been changed, your 'bots' (I assume it is that) are a bit too quick sometimes. Ringpicker (talk) 01:36, 28 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Kalgoorlie pic

Hi Tony,

You may of course re-use this photograph to your heart's content, but I only re-uploaded it onto Commons (the media repository) back in the day. The author that you should credit is Brian Voon Yee Yap (and the correct credit would be something like "Author:Brian Voon Yee Yap, CC-BY-SA").

February 2016

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. This is just a note to let you know that I've moved the draft that you were working on to Draft:Medicinal Plants In Australia, from its old location at User:Ringpicker/sandbox. This has been done because the Draft namespace is the preferred location for Articles for Creation submissions. Please feel free to continue to work on it there. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to ask me on my talk page. Thank you. Anarchyte (work | talk) 10:27, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Medicinal Plants In Australia (February 26)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by LaMona was:

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

The comment they left was:

References must be independent of the subject of the article. Also, the article must be written in a neutral, formal, encyclopedic tone - not "takes us on a journey through the search". The purpose of the article is to inform, but not to promote, so laudatory quotes are not appropriate unless necessary to support some facts in the article.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Lars Johanson (March 7)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Onel5969 was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of people and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Lars Johanson and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
