[edit] Image source problem with Image:Bremer iraqi council.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Bremer iraqi council.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:Non-free content, 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 21:50, 26 December 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. The Evil Spartan (talk) 21:50, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

Hi Brian. It would be a real shame to see your images deleted, if indeed you are the copyright holder of them (I assume you're on duty in Iraq). Please do read the instructions above on properly tagging them. The Evil Spartan (talk) 21:52, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

The images were properly tagged until someone's bot went around and changed the GFDL tags around. Someone needs to get on top of this. There's absolutely no sane reason to be marking images for speedy deletion that were properly attributed. 18:13, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
