[edit] License tagging for Image:Admiralflans44.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Admiralflans44.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:

[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia!

Welcome to Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia! Thank you for all your contributions to Starfleet ranks and insignia.

I want to help you with one of your images. You forgot to include a copywrite tag with Image:Admiralflans44.jpg. Unless you add a copywrite tag to it, it will be deleted in a week. To fix it, go to the image's page and click "edit." Next, you need to add a copywrite tag to it. If you own this work and wish to release it into the public domain, add == Licensing == {{PD-self}} to the page and save it. If you do not own it or do not wish to released it into the public domain, pick the appropriate tag for this image from the list of all image copyright tags.

I hope you enjoy Wikipedia and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

[edit] Do you have a pin of this?

Hey, do you have a real photograph of this pin? Image:Star Trek Film OF3a.png If you don't, I was planning on putting in an edited photo of it so it will match the others. Jecowa 04:43, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

I went ahead and put up an edited photo of it, but feel free to replace it if you take a photo of the real thing. Thanks for all the awesome photos! Jecowa 03:57, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Coupla questions

Posed a couple of questions on the Starfleet ranks etc. talk page. Would appreciate your response. --EEMeltonIV 03:29, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

You can edit an article's talk page the same way you can an article or my talk page. Please also sign your comments with ~~~~ at the end. Most importantly, though, please on the article talk page articulate a rationale for a) the separate table that illustrates just a color change and b) keeping MCPO2 separate. These additions add unnecessary clutter to the article, especially at lower resolutions. --EEMeltonIV 04:12, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Non-free use disputed for Image:MCPO 2nd Class.jpg

Warning sign This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:MCPO 2nd Class.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 after seven 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 19:32, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free image (Image:MCPO 2nd Class.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:MCPO 2nd Class.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. BetacommandBot 00:22, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:MCPO 2nd Classb.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:MCPO 2nd Classb.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. Jusjih 14:08, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Starfleet ranks and insignia

Hello, can you discuss the changes you wish to make to the article on the article's talk page? Edit warring to keep the content you want in the article isn't the proper way to handle it. Check out Wikipedia:Resolving disputes for more information. Dreadstar † 05:00, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

The first thing to consider is that the content you want to add to the article would need to be adequately sourced for it to be included. I recommend suggesting a section be added to the article for such non-canon information. Here's an older discussion on the subject of non-canon content: Wikipedia:Non-canon Star Trek. Dreadstar † 07:04, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
While I have your attention, can you explain the source of those images of Starfleet insignia that you uploaded? Is it jewelry that you own and/or made, and scanned / took pictures of, or...? DS 14:14, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

I answered your concerns about that article here. Hope it helps. -OberRanks (talk) 14:09, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
