[edit] Copyright problems with Image:Cains_Ballroom_Tulsa.jpg

An image that you uploaded, Image:Cains_Ballroom_Tulsa.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Copyright problems because it is a suspected copyright violation. Please look there if you know that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), and then provide the necessary information there and on its page, if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. Kelly hi! 19:50, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Image:Cains Ballroom Tulsa.jpg

A tag has been placed on Image:Cains Ballroom Tulsa.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

I think you may have been the victim of an erroneous notification...the image on the Commons is not the same as the image that was deleted, to the best of my recollection. I think someone may have uploaded a copyvio image on top of the local version of your photo. Sorry for any trouble. Kelly hi! 13:44, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
OK, I looked up the log for the image - it looks like you were the uploader of the local image, but the copy here was different - it came from http://www.flickr.com/photos/strph/112316958/, which apparently doesn't have a license compatible with Wikipedia. (I can't access Flickr from where I am at the moment.) Kelly hi! 13:48, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
Ahh, ok. Thanks for clarifying.↔NMajdan•talk 19:33, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
No problem. I'm guessing that what happened is that the image had a free license when you uploaded it, and then the Flickr user changed the license subsequently. It happens a lot...that's why I'm working now to move our Flickr-sourced images from here to the Commons. Commons has a Flickr license verification scheme so that we're protected even if the license is subsequently changed. I highly recommend that you upload future Flickr images there, and move any of your existing images there whenever you get a chance. Let me know if I can help - I can point you to a handy bot that does all the hard uploading work and image description formatting for you, in addition to verifying the license. Regards - Kelly hi! 19:47, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
Update - I had some free time so I went back through your uploads...you didn't have any other Flickr images, but I added a lot of missing fair use rationales and moved some free images to Commons. The only ones I couldn't resolve were the image mentioned below, and Image:Bedlam.jpg needs a fair use rationale because it is a derivative work of copyrighted 3D artwork. (You weren't the original uploader, you had simply reverted someone else's addition of another image with that name. I also notified the original uploader.) Cheers - Kelly hi! 21:17, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Possibly unfree Image:BOK Center-BothRenditions.jpg

An image that you uploaded or altered, Image:BOK Center-BothRenditions.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree images because its copyright status is disputed. If the image's copyright status cannot be verified, it may be deleted. You may find more information on the image description page. You are welcome to add comments to its entry at the discussion if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. Kelly hi! 20:22, 22 May 2008 (UTC) --Kelly hi! 20:22, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject College football June 2008 Newsletter

The College football WikiProject Newsletter
Issue VII - June 2008
Project news
  • There's still more than two months until the 2008-2009 college football season kicks off, but that's no reason to stop editing! Plenty of historical articles, such as past bowl games, need to be written, and editors are always needed to update teams' season articles. Don't fall into the summer malaise — check out the to-do list on the Wikiproject College football talk page.
  • Wikiproject College Football recently created its first featured topic, ACC football championship games. Featured topics are collections of good- or featured-level articles, and represent the apex of featured content on Wikipedia. If you have multiple good or featured articles that can be connected by a common topic or article, consider submitting them as a featured article. There are currently very few featured topics and even fewer sports featured topics.
  • Several NAIA coaches' articles (ex. Ronald Beard) were nominated for deletion, but were rescued by editors.
  • Paul McDonald has created a formal draft of notability requirements for college football articles at Wikipedia:WikiProject College Football/Notability. This is an updated draft of the older proposed guidelines and goes into far more detail. All editors of college football articles are requested to examine the document and leave comments or suggestions. If implemented, it will affect future AfD discussions dealing with college football articles.
  • The College Football Portal needs more pictures scheduled. Do you have a great picture that illustrates the best of college football? Consider adding it to the featured image queue on the portal.
From JKBrooks85

Welcome to the latest issue of the College football WikiProject newsletter! I hope that you're enjoying regular updates about the goings on of college football on Wikipedia, but if not, feel free to add your name to the "no delivery" section on the newsletter signup page.

I encourage everyone to make regular visits to the College Football Portal and perhaps make it your Wikipedia entry page instead of using the Main Page as your gateway. Nominations for selected articles and pictures are always welcome, and can serve as a great way to show off that new article you just shepherded to Good Article status or the great picture you took the last time you were at a game.

Comments and suggestions on improving the newsletter are always welcome, and help me improve it on a monthly basis. Keep contributing and editing, and don't hesitate to contact me or post on the College Football Wikiproject talk page if you need help or just want someone to look over your article.
