==Advice on uploading images==

Hello!

Thanks for uploading some pictures to Wikipedia. I wanted to make sure you were aware of some of the requirements and good practices for uploaded images.

Pick an image name.

When uploading an image, pick a file name that is descriptive, and unique. Remember that many images may be uploaded about the same topic, and remember that names are case sensitive.

Source the image.

On the image description page, explain where the image came from. If you created the image yourself, then say so. If it's from the web, give a URL. If it's a screenshot of a movie or game, or a scan from a book, give the title.

Provide copyright and license information.

This part is a little bit trickier, but it's very important. The copyright of the image generally belongs to whomever created it.

If it's a photograph you took, or an image you created (modifying an image that already exists doesn't count) in software like Photoshop or GIMP, then you own the copyright. To upload it to Wikipedia, you must agree to license it under the GFDL (which allows anyone to use it, but requires that they give credit to the original author and requires that any further edit to the image be licensed under the GFDL as well) or release it into the public domain (which allows anyone to use it for any purpose without restriction.) Do this by placing an appropriate tag on the image description page, like {{GFDL}} or {{PD-self}}. Be sure to mention that you created the image. If you're using {{PD-self}}, you may also want to use {{NoRightsReserved}}, since there is some dispute as to whether one may grant items into the public domain.

If you didn't create the image, or the copyright somehow belongs to another party (like a screenshot, which you might "create", but the copyright belongs to the author of the movie or video game), then you need to find another tag that describes the copyright status of the image. Images used on Wikipedia need to be free for our use and the use of sites which reproduce our content. This means that images cannot have a restriction such as "only for use by Wikipedia", or "for non-commercial use only", or "for educational use". Images without a free license may be usable in certain articles under fair use, but such a use should be justified on the image description page.

Describe the image.

To another reader, the image may not be immediately understood. A caption in an article doesn't explain the image to a visitor who sees it on its image page. Put a brief explanation of what is in the image on the image description page, similar to what you might include in a caption on an article.

Some links to Wikipedia pages on this subject:

Thanks again for your contributions. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me at my talk page. Chick Bowen 02:49, 25 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Non-commercial licenses

Please stop uploading images with non-commercial licenses. These will all be deleted. Please read the information above before uploading any more images. Thanks. Chick Bowen 02:56, 25 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Possibly unfree Image:Sun_Belt_Conference_map.jpg

An image that you uploaded or altered, Image:Sun_Belt_Conference_map.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree images because its copyright status is disputed. If the image's copyright status cannot be verified, it may be deleted. Please go to its page for more information if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. ˉˉ^anetode╦╩ 04:58, 16 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with Image:Murphy tommy laa.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:Murphy tommy laa.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 image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Rhobite 03:26, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

FAU Championship note

Hello Yezn0r,

I just wanted to elaborate a little bit about why I wanted to put the "Championships" part on the main FAU article. My feeling was that people are most interested in whether we won championships are not, so the summary accomplished that. It doesn't negate the FAU OWLS article, which goes into more depth and includes pictures and history that the summary does not (as it should). They serve similar but different purposes.

Are you concerned that people won't visit the FAU OWLS page if the Championships note is on the main page? I know you put a lot of effort into the FAU OWLS page and I thought seeing the Championship note on the main page would drum up interest for people to read more about it on your athletics page.

I understand you might consider it a matter of duplicate information, but we're already doing that anyway since both pages technically state "Florida Atlantic University competes in athletics with 18 intercollegiate sports teams on the Division I level in the Sun Belt Conference. FAU has attracted such famous coaches as Howard Schnellenberger (football) and former NBA player Rex Walters (men's basketball)" (although the main page is more explicit on that point)

Just wanted to hash this out with you in a civil manner. Please let me know what you think. Go Owls 21:03, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

College Baseball Project

Hello, I noticed that you have edited a College baseball related article. You may be interested to know that there is a college baseball WikiProject which you can join if you like. We would love to have you!

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Fau athletics.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Fau athletics.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images 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 any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. fuzzy510 05:33, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Shula bowl logo.jpg listed for deletion

An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:Shula bowl logo.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please see the discussion to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted.

Image source problem with Image:Fau logo main.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:Fau logo main.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, 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, 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 20:21, 3 August 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Esrever 20:21, 3 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm taking the liberty of uploading a "transparent" version of the FAU logo, but you'll still need to locate source information for the original file. Esrever 20:21, 3 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The new version of the logo is at Image:Fau logo main.png. You'll need to add source information there.

Fair use disputed for Image:Image:Fau bluewave.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Image:Fau bluewave.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 11:12, 30 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Fau navbox.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Fau navbox.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

FAU Champs

I believe it was you who left this message on my talk page:

I'm not going to argue with you over an article on WIKIPEDIA. I have far more important things to do with my life. Go ahead and title them "Co" champions. ONE team will hold the trophy. ONE team gets the invite to the New Orleans Bowl - the conference prize for winning. In 2005, the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox finished with identical records and the Yankees were Division Champions; the Red Sox were Wild Card. There is a term dubbed "tie-breaker by head-to-head" record. We beat Troy University; we are the conference champions. Simply because the Commissioner of the Sun Belt Conference wants "more" "champions" to up his 6-year-old conference does not change the fact that Florida Atlantic will hold the trophy.

P.S. Thank you for your interest in FAU on wikipedia. I have spent a long time creating and updating pages on this website and I appreciate your added support. Together, I think we can really build a strong FAU wikipedia network! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.8.111.108 (talk) 17:51, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

I am not sure who will hold the trophy. Troy was co-champs with someone else last year so there may in fact be two trophies. One team does get the invite to the bowl, but since we lost to one team and Troy lost to one team we are tied. So the only thing our beating them does is ensure we go to a bowl. But anyway, enough on that. I wanted to thank you too. Both of us provide well-rounded coverage of FAU on Wikipedia. I have mostly worked on the FAU article and you have done great work on the FAU sports and related areas. So, thank you too, and keep up the good work. FAU >>> Bowling!

2008 FAU team page

Hello, I hope you are doing well.

I restored the sourced information you removed from the 2008 FAU football page about their first opponent, Texas. If you look at other team pages, it is common for the best written ones to give the reader some background on the opponent being faced. If you look at 2007 Texas Longhorn football team you will see that each section discusses the opponent they were facing that week: For example, the UCF section talks about their new stadium, the Arkansas State section talks about Ark-State winning their conference, the Tx A&M section talks about their coaches changes, etc. Likewise, the 2007 Texas A&M Aggies football team article discusses their opponents as well.

For 2008 examples please see 2008 Arkansas Razorbacks football team or 2008 Texas A&M Aggies football team, both of which contain sections previewing Texas.

If you think that the information is not presented appropriately for readers of the FAU page, please think about what changes you would like to see, vs outright removal of the information. Thanks very much, Johntex\^talk 20:08, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again, Yezn0r.

I ask you again to please stop your wholesale removal of factual information from 2008 Florida Atlantic Owls football team. The article needs to be expanded to cover what is known at this point about next season. I've added useful information about opponents, coaches, home stadium, etc.

I ask you to please review WP:OWN. This is not your article, it belongs to Wikipedia. If you disagree with edits please discuss them instead of simply reverting. Best, Johntex\^talk 21:35, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia. Your edits appeared to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

Hello Yezn0r. Thanks for your message; it is good to hear from you. Through dialog most things can be resolved.

I'd like to remind you that Wikipedia does not have YOUR articles or MY articles. We collaborate to make all articles better. It does not matter who started an article, anyone can come and add to it. Differences are resolved by discussion. If you continue to simply revert additions without discussion, you will be blocked from editing. Please review WP:OWN for a description of how this works, and of how you are not allowed to claim articles as "yours" and simply revert everyone else.

Thanks, Johntex\^talk 23:21, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not completely blank an article section, as you did twice yesterday with 2008 Florida Atlantic Owls football team. If you will look at articles such as 2005 Texas Longhorn football team or 2007 USC Trojans football team, it is quite common to include things about both teams in the game summary. Naturally, the focus should tilt 'somewhat' towards FAU on the FAU article, but important facts about the other team should also be covered. Please edit the summary and extend it, vs. deleting text wholesale. Thanks very much, Johntex\^talk 16:10, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Yezn0r, I hope you are well. Please stop reverting additions to the FAU article. I am adding well sourced information which is relevant to the article and consistent with the practice on other college football articles. Please remember that you do not WP:OWN the article. I have started a discussion section on the article's Talk page. I look forward to discussing the changes with you. Thanks, Johntex\^talk 16:09, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Impossible Dream (1967)

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article The Impossible Dream (1967), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised.

Please don't give up editing FAU information; don't let people get under your skin. I know I've had plenty of disagreements with folks over Virginia Tech articles. I've won some and I've lost some. I've had to make some changes to articles that I didn't particularly like to make. But my thought was that if I didn't keep editing, no one else would cover the event. For FAU, that's doubly important. You're the first editor I've run across to devote so much time to FAU articles, and that's something that needs to be done. Thanks for getting it done.

AfD nomination of 2009/2010 Florida Atlantic Owls football team

I have nominated 2009 Florida Atlantic Owls football team and 2010 Florida Atlantic Owls football team, articles you created, for deletion. I do not think the articles satisfie Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2009 Florida Atlantic Owls football team. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Proof of the FIU-UM rivalry

There is ample proof to the FIU-UM rivalry, and a simple walk around FIU's campus is proof of this with multiple signs advertising the rivalry in cross-town games and on both schools' athletic websites. Speak to any FIU student, ask them who their rival is. Just a couple external links that prove the rivalry:

License tagging for Image:Miracle_in_Murfreesboro.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Miracle_in_Murfreesboro.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 05:03, 8 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Yezn0r. You have new messages at Rambo's Revenge's talk page.

Based on your comments and your large selection of fair use warnings here, you seem to have a faulty impression as to how copyright law works; please stop making edits about putting in pictures whose free or fair use status has been disputed. Keep it to the talk page. I also caution you that you are coming close to violating the three revert rule. Edit warring is never the solution to a problem, real or perceived. --Golbez (talk) 17:48, 18 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Florida Atlantic University. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. Madcoverboy (talk) 18:12, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edits to Talk:Florida Atlantic University could give Wikipedia contributors the impression that you may consider legal or other "off-wiki" action against them, or against Wikipedia itself.

Speedy deletion of File:Landshark Stadium 2009.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Landshark Stadium 2009.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), 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. - ALLST✰R▼^echo _{wuz here @} 20:15, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of File:Espn fau vs troy 2008.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Espn fau vs troy 2008.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a non-free image with a clearly invalid licensing tag; or it otherwise fails some part of the non-free content criteria.

If you can find a valid tag that expresses why the image can be used under the fair use guidelines, please replace the current tag with that tag. If no such tag exists, please add the {{non-free fair use in|article name that the image is used in}} tag, along with a brief explanation of why this constitutes fair use of the image. If the image has been deleted, you can re-upload it, but please ensure you place the correct tag on it.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), 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.

Image copyright issues

As mentioned in the Administrator's noticeboard discussion linked above, there are questions about a number of images that you have uploaded as your own work. File:Landshark Stadium 2009.jpg and File:Jeff Brohm picture.jpg have been speedily deleted as blatant infringements of [1] and [2]. The following are listed at possibly unfree images for evaluation: File:Fau-uniforms.jpg, File:FAU Charles Pierre vs UAB.jpg, File:Fau vs msu 2008.jpg, File:Howard-Schnellenberger-2008.jpg, File:Robbie Widlansky.jpg, File:FAU Polo v Minnesota 07.jpg, File:Woodson FAU v Kentucky 2007.jpg, File:FAU vs USF 2007.jpg, File:FAU Slippery Rock.jpg and File:Rusty-smith-football-player.jpg. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, unless you can clarify in such a way that we can be confident these are your own works, these images will most likely be deleted. You will find the listing here.

I see that you have been approached about copyright policies with respect to images many times before. Wikipedia takes US copyright laws very seriously. Contributors who persist in uploading copyrighted material after notification will be blocked. Please be sure that all images that you upload to Wikipedia are legally usable on the project. If you have any questions about an image, you should seek feedback before placing it. One potentially useful forum is the media copyright questions board. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 11:43, 9 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:2009shulabowl.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:2009shulabowl.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images 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 "file" 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited TheBlaze Radio Network, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Android (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.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.
