[edit] License tagging for Image:Warprisonerssmall.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Warprisonerssmall.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:

Steakknife, Please at least use correct spelling and don't add images unless they have appropriate copyright. Unless you add the copyright information to the above image page, and it has been released under an appropriate license, it is simply dishonest to use it in the page. Also, you claim that you took the photo Image:Australians in Iraq.jpg. Were you really in Iraq in 2003? If not, please change the copyright info on that page, as well.

Steakknife,
An image that you "just found on a website" is not suitable for Wikipedia. To use that image, you will need to tell us who owns the copyright on it, and why it is ok for Wikipedia to use it. I am sure you have enough contacts in ANFA to find out where the image actually comes from, if you don't know already. If you keep uploading it without providing this information, it will keep getting deleted, and you will probably be blocked from editing. JPD (talk) 10:19, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Consider this your one and only warning
No personal attacks. I'm referring to this. Do it again and you'll be blocked indefinitely. Please show at least a tiny bit of maturity. Slac speak up! 01:56, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Further image copyright issues
Steakknife,
There are some legitimate concerns here about the copyright status of the images you have uploaded:
Image:Australians in Iraq.jpg -- Did you take this photo? Do you have a larger version that you can upload?
Image:Original eureka flag.gif -- This is a copy of the image on this site.
Image:Reviewofreviews.jpg -- This image is claimed as a fair use book cover, but the fair use claim is only for an article discussing the book in question. Use on Australian flag debate isn't covered.
Image:Warprisonerssmall.jpg -- I find it more likely that you got this off a web site, as you said in an earlier upload. However, it doesn't matter, because the copyright remains with whomever took the original photograph. Taking a photo of a photo doesn't mean that you can license it yourself. So you need to determine the copyright of the original photograph.
Image:Queen2006.jpg -- Another image which you claim to have taken, but based on your other image issues, I am somewhat skeptical. Do you have a larger version you can upload?
If you're unable to resolve these issues, the images will likely be deleted. Please don't upload any more images until you have a firm understanding of image copyrights on Wikipedia. I'll be happy to answer any questions you may have.
Thanks. kmccoy (talk) 11:19, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Royal Exhibition Building image
The image Image:Reb.jpg, which you uploaded, was identical to http://www.anzaab.com/anzaab/member_files/images/Royal%20Exhibition%20Building.jpg, on the Australian and New Zealand Antiquarian Booksellers site. Especially given your history of dishonesty with images, it is highly unlikely that you were the creator of the image, and so it has been deleted. If you wish to include an image of the buildings where the flag competition results were announced in the Flag of Australia article, then rather than nicking images from random websites, I suggest you look at the images we already have (Image:Royal exhibition building tulips straight.jpg, Image:Royal Exhibition Building 2003-05-17.jpg, Image:Ac.exhibition1.jpg) and discuss their relevance to the article on the talk page. Myself, I don't think an image of the building really adds to that part of the article. JPD (talk) 10:50, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Polygonwood.jpg
Thank you for uploading Image:Polygonwood.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI 04:06, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] October 2007
Please refrain from making test edits in Wikipedia articles, such as those you made to Eureka Flag, even if your ultimate intention is to fix them. Such edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Tiddly-Tom 16:21, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Stop now
Stop this rubbish immediately or I will block you indefinitely. Slac speak up! 06:11, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
- Stop being uncivil to other editors. Last warning before blocking. -- Chuq (talk) 13:26, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
