Category:Internet celebrities

Hi Species5618 -- You created the category Category:Internet celebrities. However, I'm not convinced that this is a useful category. What are the criteria? How do we distinguish an Internet celebrity from any other kind of celebrity? Why do we make that distinction? Are the people who are in this category defined as "Internet celebrities", such that when you would introduce them that would be one of the phrases that leaps to mind? Cory Doctorow for instance is much better known as an EFF staffer & civil liberties advocate, and a SF writer; the "Internet celebrities" category doesn't seem to add much. Similarly for the other people included in the category (which is not a "list", by the way). If you haven't read WP:CAT, WP:CATFAQ, and Categories, Lists & Series boxes, they might be helpful. I posted a similar concern on Category talk:Internet celebrities; and Overcategorization. If I don't hear back, I'll likely raise this at Categories for Discussion.

File permission problem with File:CMcKinnon.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:CMcKinnon.jpg, which you've sourced to http://static.flickr.com/50/127022329_c613431cdb_o.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 take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

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:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File 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 created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Skier Dude (talk) 07:43, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for February 16

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Casey McKinnon, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Tabletop (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.
