Hello. Concerning your contribution, Image:RQ-9 Predator.jpg, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from either web sites or printed material. This article appears to be a direct copy from http://www.defense-update.com/products/p/predatorB.htm. As a copyright violation, Image:RQ-9 Predator.jpg appears to qualify for speedy deletion under the speedy deletion criteria. Image:RQ-9 Predator.jpg has been tagged for deletion, and may have been deleted by the time you see this message. If the source is a credible one, please consider rewriting the content and citing the source.

If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the GFDL, you can comment to that effect on [[Talk::Image:RQ-9 Predator.jpg]].

However, you may want to consider rewriting the content in your own words. Thank you, and please feel free to continue contributing to Wikipedia. MECUtalk 18:50, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

I have placed {{hangon}} on the image, as it appears to actually be from GA-ASI [1]. The site allows for requests to be submitted for use. If Mnw2000 could clarify, this issue could be resolved without the image being deleted. AuburnPilottalk 19:19, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Pop 020301 5b.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Pop 020301 5b.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Oden 06:44, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Link fixing

Thanks for your efforts to fix the screwed up links on List of active United States military aircraft, but please, double check the fixes when you make them...most of what you put in either went to disambiguation pages, or to redirect pages, when what we needed were the final destination pages. Thanks! Akradecki 01:50, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:777x.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:777x.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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).

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 fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

[edit] List of U.S. TV channels- why a table??

Is there some reason why you decided to organize this list into a table, I don't think it looks very good, the information stood out better as it was before in a straight list as opposed to now in a table format. I will be reverting back to previous style unless I hear back from you.

Thanks. HeMan5 17:06, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

I thought the OWNER of the channels was important since many of them are owned by a few major corporations (NBC Universal, Viacom, etc.) If you think the list is better, then go ahead a revert it back. user:mnw2000 17:31, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Non-free use disputed for Image:070112a 2 lg.jpg

Warning sign This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:070112a 2 lg.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read carefully the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content and then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.Betacommand (talkcontribsBot) 03:41, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 737-900

No it has not been discontinued. Nothing gets dicontinued at Boeing unless the whole product line gets discontinued. For example the 767-200ER production ended in the early 1990s but 8 years later production started again for Delta Airlines. The 747SP ended in 1983 but 6 years later 1 was made in 1989 for a VIP customer. Some 707s were built sporadically even into the 1990s! A simple order of 1 or 2 planes got the production going again. If an airline wants the 900 they can order it. Planes are hand built and as long as the whole 737 line is not discontinued, a version of it is no problem to build. You cannot get a 757 right now for example as the whole line is gone.--Bangabalunga 17:12, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:787Orders.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:787Orders.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure 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 you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages 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 fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast 22:22, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Howdy! Please come to the First Annual New York Wikipedian Central Park Picnic. R.S.V.P. @ Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC
--David Shankbone 19:49, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:707x.jpg

I have tagged Image:707x.jpg as {{no rationale}}, because it does not provide a fair use rationale. If you believe the image to be acceptable for fair use according to Wikipedia policy, please provide a rationale explaining as much, in accordance with the fair use rationale guideline, on the image description page. Please also consider using {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. Thank you. MER-C 10:26, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:Newbbj.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Newbbj.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link.

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Boeing747-300Trijet.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Boeing747-300Trijet.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, 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 files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 02:32, 22 August 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Shell babelfish 02:32, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Project-map.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Project-map.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. 05:05, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Superdelegate Help Needed

I see that you've been involved in the Superdelegate discussions. Did you create that nifty color coded chart? If so, it's excellent. I'm wondering if you'd be willing to help me either find the person who created the chart (if it wasn't you). If it was you who created it, I'm wondering if you'd be willing to set me on the right path for creating something similar for a page I'd like to develop (working title "Comparison of 2008 Superdelegate endorsements to constituent voting results) to address this controversy brewing over the repeated inclusions/reverts/edit wars going on within the biography articles of a few individual Superdelegates and the issue of whether the Superdelegate's endorsement of one candidate does not correspond with the (unrelated to the Superdelegate process per the Democratic Party Rules) primary vote and/or caucus results from that SD's particular congressional district, state, city, precinct or whatever. Although I personally don't think such a page is really necessary, as the issue has been discussed and charted elsewhere ad naseum, those who disagree with me have proposed as a solution the editing of every SD's biography to include this information. Hope this makes sense! Thanks for listening! --Smart Ways (talk) 14:45, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
