Image copyright problem with Image:JohnGardnerSignedTimeCover.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:JohnGardnerSignedTimeCover.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.

RESPONE: It's ok, we found a White House picture of Gardner. You can delete this one.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI 02:39, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Punahou School

Please see my comments at Talk:Punahou School#Alumni. Maralia 01:41, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

table of contents in Punahou School Alumni

No problem. Once in a while, I browse around for common misspellings (in this case, "Cincinatti") and fix them and any other misspellings I find. When I so that, if I see any opportunity to easily improve an article, I do that at the same time.

To generate a table of contents, use equal signs to indicate the sections: '==' for sections, '===' for subsections, '====' for subsubsections, etc. If there are three or more headings, Wikipedia normally automatically adds the table of contents.

On signing: to sign your comments with username and date-time, use the four tilda characters, i.e. ~~~~ -- Terry Carroll 23:27, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Just thought you might like to see the stub I started due to inspiration you brought. Cheers, --Kukini ^{hablame aqui} 19:20, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

yeah i saw quite a lot of your good work... i was wondering whether you realized you've been effectively drafted as a researcher for this school's alums! but it's an interesting school, and obviously relevant right now because of the obama candidacy. let's put it this way, i'm not helping my other alma maters, u of r and h, though they are perfectly nice schools. it's just the way the wikipedia list looked when i first saw it (and when all the journalists were writing their backstories about the school re:obama), and the spin that all the private colleges have been using (shame on them) that motivates me here. there are plenty of interesting schools, and you can often tell by looking at the alumni list (e.g., swarthmore, new trier, hotchkiss), and there is very often a mismatch between the reputation and the reality. hence the need for quality information to be easily accessible and publicly vetted.

Punahou tag

Hi Ronaldloui,

I wanted to let you know that I have tagged the notable alumni section in order to generate some comments in the discussion section because I think that there needs to be some consensus about how that section should appear. I agree in principle with what you are trying to do and I understand the amount of works that takes so please don't take this as a criticism of that work. My intention is to review it closer and perhaps work up a section example on my user page so you can see more clearly what I mean when I say that a person included (outside of an alumni list entry) should reflect on what it is about Punahou that he or she (or others) have said in regards to their attendance that has contributed to their life. If you look at it that way you can see how that makes the article about Punahou stronger and in my opinion keeps the focus on the subject in a more objective way which is more appropriate to a Wikipedia article.Awotter 22:48, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Hey, thanks, but seriously, I have emotionally divested myself... it's wikipedia, and I find wikipedia tremendously valuable, so the process must be working. I was just surprised by the hidden alumni I found during the past six months while doing the research. Nobody missed a Secretary of State or a President, so it's all somewhat in the noise. I just don't want to create a misleading impression, which is how I believe I discovered it when I got interested in fixing it. I mean, every Olympian was listed, but not a single person of real substance unless that person was a headliner. Well, I suppose Armstrong, Sun Yat Sen, Mills, and Dole were already on the list. Maybe at that point I should have just cut instead of adding! I think if it goes back and forth between a list of 10 very interesting people, and something else like a narrative or a longer list, well, that's what wikipedia does. I'm actually more interested in the integrity of the longer list, even if no one looks at it. I figure it's a resource in that form, but it's fair play to take big cuts at the main page. I'm not a fan of the Case school narrative that someone seemed excited to write about... When we were students there, they made us read real history about the school. I agree with your comments on misuse of "darling", "greatest", "special", etc. Start editing! There is authoring, and then there is editing -- both have their idiosyncracies.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Teri Ann Linn, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Little Shop of Horrors (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

File permission problem with File:Teri Ann Linn 1993.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Teri Ann Linn 1993.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-en@wikimedia.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-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} 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. Dianna (talk) 03:47, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

File source problem with File:TeriAnnLinn2.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:TeriAnnLinn2.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. Dianna (talk) 03:03, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

Response

This is what I have -- ebay has removed the item description because it is too old. I believe that unlike a print, the photographer's rights by default transfer with ownership of the transparencies, just as they would with the negatives.

Better source request for File:HonorableElbertTuttle.jpg

Thanks for your upload to Wikipedia:

• File:HonorableElbertTuttle.jpg

You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact Web page where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain or the URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page or me at my talk page. Thank you. Message delivered by Theo's Little Bot (opt-out) 21:01, 22 June 2013 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Teri Ann Linn in Hat.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Teri Ann Linn in Hat.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 03:41, 10 March 2019 (UTC)

File:Teri Ann Linn in Hat.jpg

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for the calculation of the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.
