From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hello JoeAustralia, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions, they have helped improve Wikipedia and make it more informative. However, I have removed the additions of commercial links as we do try to limit external links to only strictly relevant links and the Melbourne Cup page in particlular was becoming a repostitory of links to betting agencies, etc ....

I hope you enjoy using Wikipedia and decide to make additional contributions. Some valuable resources to help new Wikipedians include:

How to edit a page
Editing tutorial
Picture tutorial
How to write a great article
Naming conventions
Manual of Style

As a contibuter to Australian articles, you may find it useful to have a look a the Australian Wikipedians' noticeboard at WP:AWNB.

[edit] Image Tagging Image:MonaroPoliceCar.jpg

Warning sign
This image may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:MonaroPoliceCar.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 06:41, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Commercial use of Image:UPAtrimmed.png

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Image:UPAtrimmed.png, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Image:UPAtrimmed.png is an image licensed as "for non-commercial use only" or "used with permission for use on Wikipedia only" which was either uploaded on or after 2005-05-19 or is not used in any articles (CSD I3).

If you created this media file and want to use it on Wikipedia, you may re-upload it (or amend the image description if it has not yet been deleted) and use the license {{GFDL-self}} to license it under the GFDL, or {{cc-by-sa-2.5}} to license it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license, or use {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain.

If you did not create this media file but want to use it on Wikipedia, there are two ways to proceed. First, you may choose one of the fair use tags from this list if you believe one of those fair use rationales applies to this file. Second, you may want to contact the copyright holder and request that they make the media available under a free license.

If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. This bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Image:UPAtrimmed.png itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. If you have any questions about what to do next or why your image was nominated for speedy deletion please ask at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thanks. --Android Mouse Bot 2 00:10, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
