User talk:MECU

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

June is Wikipedia Image Cleanup Month and YOU can help!

If you are here to discuss an image please read the text below which may answer your question:

Please first read the Image FAQ. If it doesn't answer your question to your satisfaction, then please feel free to ask me for further information.
If I marked an image of yours for deletion, please understand that I am following our image policies and there is no malicious intent behind. If you do not oppose the deletion, you do not need to notify me.
If I marked an image as replaceable fair use, please note the directions on the tag to dispute it. Telling me about why you dispute deletion is appreciated, but addressing the issue raised in the tag is more constructive.
If I have tagged an image as missing a source or missing a copyright tag and you have added the required information, just remove the deletion tag. Take care, though, that you have added a full source, not just "I got this from their website".
If I have nominated a freely licensed orphaned image for deletion at WP:IFD and you feel that it might be useful somewhere sometime just not right here, right now, see directions for moving it to Wikimedia Commons.
If you are here to give me a notice about a fair use image that I "uploaded" and you are marking orphaned, no rationale, or any other tag, I am most likely NOT the author. If you look on the history tag of the image, you will see the uploader as the first edit, and where I later fair use reduced the image, which then requires I upload the image and that past versions are deleted, making it look like I uploaded it. If this is the case, please contact the original uploader who is far more likely to have an invested interest in making sure the image is not compromised.

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:NFL-SB 2339.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:NFL-SB 2339.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 00:59, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Question About Editing References

Mecu - Hope you are enjoying your summer. I am working on editing both Dorrie Nossiter and Suz Andreasen as well as a new article. I cannot seem to figure out how to edit references. On the Suz Andreasen page for example, it just has a reference list. Can you aid me in this or direct me to a page on insturcuctions on how to properly add references? Thanks, archiemartinArchie Martin (talk) 23:27, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use image problems

I notice you have uploaded the image Image:Bill Dooley.JPG with the {{Non-free promotional}} fair use image tag. However, this tag seems unrelated to the content of the image, and as a result it may qualify for speedy deletion. Image:Bill Dooley.JPG has been tagged for deletion, and may have been deleted by the time you see this message.

If you can find a valid tag that expresses why Image:Bill Dooley.JPG can be used under the fair use guidelines, please replace the {{Non-free promotional}} tag that you have placed on it with that tag. If no such tag exists, please add the {{non-free fair use in|article name that the image is used in}} tag, along with a brief explanation of why this constitutes fair use of the image. If the image has been deleted, you can re-upload it, but please ensure you place the correct tag on it. However, you must not remove the speedy deletion notice. Thank you, and please feel free to continue contributing to Wikipedia.

Fair use images aren't allowed for living people, unfortunately, per WP:FU#Unacceptable use #12 in the subsection "Images." Hippo (talk) 00:59, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] I have a question

I know that you know a lot about the image uploading and stuff of that nature. will you help me? I saved an image of the wikipedia logo and changed it up a little. I want to use it on Wikipedia only. What licensing should I put it under when I upload it.Mattkenn3 ^talk 18:54, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
