[edit] Removing tags

Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion pages. The notices and comments are needed to establish community consensus about the status of an article, and removing them is considered vandalism. If you oppose the deletion of an article, you may comment at the respective page instead. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by NMChico24 (talk • contribs)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Ronwatermanportrait.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Ronwatermanportrait.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. 12:06, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding deletion of Image:Ronwatermanportrait.jpg

As the notice in the previous section said: A one-line sentence saying "I have permission to use the photograph from Ron Waterman." is manifestly inadequate for keeping the photo on Wikipedia. If you created the image, you must release your work under a free license and insert the appropriate tag from the previous linked-to section into the image description page. Failure to do so will mean that your image gets deleted again.

As "free and clear" does not readily translate to the name of any of the aforementioned licenses, I'm afraid I cannot tag the image for you. Kimchi.sg 21:28, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

You have again done it wrongly. The "With permission" item you selected on the license list means that the image is not for commercial usage, and thus not acceptable for Wikipedia's use. If this is what you really meant for the image to be licensed under, then repeated uploading of this image will cause you to lose your upload priviledges.

On the other hand, if you wish to license the image under a free license (as creators of images have to), select one of the choices that have "self-made" or "own work" in their names. Be aware that all of these licenses will allow both commercial and non-commercial distribution, modification, and distribution of modification of the image. Kimchi.sg 21:41, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

The image is still marked for speedy deletion because you have not changed the license on the image description page. If you do not change the {{db-noncom}} tag to a license tag acceptable for Wikipedia, the image will be deleted imminently. Kimchi.sg 21:55, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
