License tagging for Image:Namib-desert-air-p-50.2.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Namib-desert-air-p-50.2.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 12:07, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. You may not know that Wikipedia has a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Using different styles throughout the encyclopedia, as you did to How to survive in the desert, makes it harder to read. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Into The Fray ^T/C 22:45, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia by creating the page How to survive in the desert. Your test worked, and the page that you created has been or soon will be deleted.

A tag has been placed on Desert alive, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

Wikipedia is not a WP:HOWTO or WP:OR

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 page 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.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. WebHamster 01:27, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
