[edit] Major issues

The article Leo Major needs major cleanup of tone to qualify as a wiki article. Also I note that part of it also appears in http://frosthitstherhubarb.blogspot.com/2005_05_08_frosthitstherhubarb_archive.html . If frosthitstherhubarb is your blog, please add a note to the blog to say that Wikipedia is entitled to use it. In any case, please add a note in Talk:Leo Major explaining this apparent copyvio.

All the images you have uploaded require source and licence information.

Regarding Image:Léo Major02.jpg:

  • Why did you upload it four times?
  • Cut it down to less than one megabyte
  • Upload it to the Commons so that fr:Leo_Major can use it as well
  • use it in the article!

[edit] Major changes

Because the majority of the artice was lifted from an article in the Ottawa Citizen, I removed that text. If this is a misunderstanding and you do have the right to release the text, please explain on the talk page and restore the text (or ask someone how to do it).

[edit] Image Tagging Image:Certificat2.jpg

Warning sign
This image may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Certificat2.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then 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 images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. 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 unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --OrphanBot 04:38, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
