Warnings deleted from this page?

[edit]

HopefullGomer deleted two copyright warnings/questions from this page on 05/14/05. I hope this isn't a habit like the copyright violations are. Liblamb 04:21, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]


sorry

[edit]

I just deleted the two warnings because I had already seen them,and didn't think I needed them anymore.I will be more carfull in the future to make shure that the stuff I put up isn't copywrited. sorry for all the trouble HopefullGomer 17 May 2005

Thanks for the reply. Sorry if I sounded somewhat pushy/militant before. I'm not sure the questions posed were answered though. Let me know if you replied somewhere and I missed it. But, if permission was not given to use the text at Brad Avery (Third Day Band Member) we need to change it. Thanks for the info. Liblamb 00:36, 18 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Brad Avery

[edit]

okay, I changed a bunch of stuff on Brad Avery (Third Day Band Member) page.like re-wording things and adding sentences.isn't that enough? I didn't copy it from the site you had up,but a different one.same thing though.

Thanks much HopefullGomer. I'll call it good enough unless someone else complains. Thanks for the help. You might take a look at the page Wikipedia:Cite sources for a little more info on citing sources when you do get info from another site like you did. This is not a policy or requirement, just a suggestion. Most Wikipedians don't cite sources but it sure makes it easier to verify when they do. Good luck on future edits.

thanks for the sugestion.sorry for all the bother.will do better from now on:)

Third Day band members

[edit]

I am afraid I have marked your articles on Third Day band members (Tai Anderson (Third Day Band Member), David Carr (Third Day Band Member), Brad Avery (Third Day Band Member), Mark Lee (Third Day Band Member), and Mac Powell (Third Day Band Member) ) as copyright violations. They have been copied from http://www.geocities.com/a_third_day_gomer/members.html, some of them with slight modifications (such as changing from first person into third).

If you are in fact the author of the texts, or if you have received permission to use them (under GFDL license), please indicate that at Wikipedia:Copyright problems. (However, the articles will still need to be rewritten so that their style is appropriate for an encyclopedia article.)

I would also like to inform you that it is inappropriate to cast bogus votes on a VfD discussion. The votes from Beccadickerson and HannahDickerson will likely be disregarded; it seems that you have registered these accounts just in order to allow you (or your family members) to vote more than once in the discussion. (The vote from HannahDickerson was even added when you were logged in!) Regards, Mike Rosoft 18:21, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

reply to Third Day Band Members

[edit]

I did get the articles from where you had said but i thought that a person had to change about 20% for it to be an 'original' , I changed quite a lot on all of the pages . Beccadickerson and HannahDickerson are not me. they are family members but i didn't know that a family member could not vote.I thought the author could vote too.I didn't even know that Beccadickerson was going to vote.

confused, HopefullGomer 2:04pm ,14 June 2005

  • To the contrary, you have changed very little from the original pages. You have lifted almost all sentences from the site, some verbatim, others with minor changes. I would like to direct your attention to Wikipedia:Copyright FAQ, which - among other things - states: "Copyright is the right that the producer of a creative work has been granted to prevent others from copying it." and "A derivative work is something that is "based on and a close copy of" another work. For example, the Harry Potter movies are derivative works of the Harry Potter books. Therefore, the Harry Potter movies required J.K. Rowling's permission to make and distribute the films." Regarding the votes: there are no rules prohibiting user's family members from voting, but there are rules which allow administrators to disregard votes from accounts which were created just in order to influence the result of a VfD discussion. - Mike Rosoft 08:13, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Hello

[edit]

Hi, Miriam, I noticed that you are from Missouri as well as I. I live in St. Louis, and I am a Lutheran pastor. I am thrilled to see that you are a born-again Christian! Yes, I did add a lot to the Black Arrow entry. I loved that novel ever since I was 13, and I have read it many times. I am also a big fan of The Pilgrim's Progress and the Oz books. I am so pleased that you like what I did to the Black Arrow entry. God's blessings! David drboisclair 23:36, 27 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Minor female Hobbits

[edit]

Personally, I think that Rosie and Elanor are equally minor. However, the article on Elanor is long enough that it would be out of place in the "list of" article, so I am prepared to let it stand (this agrees with the guidelines at WP:FICT). She's also of much greater relative significance than, say, Malva Headstrong.

There used to be an article on Rosie Cotton, before all of the female Hobbit articles were merged. It was at Rose Cotton and all of its contents were merged. The new article contributes nothing new except a movie photo. (I could generally do without movie photos.) If the section on Rosie in the main article becomes to long, then it can be pulled out, but otherwise it makes sense to keep it all together per WP:FICT. (Frankly, the more free-standing articles we try to get away with, the more likely we are to draw the attention of deletionists and be forced to start compiling awkward lists.)

If the material is expanded to the point that it needs to be pulled out, it should probably be returned to Rose Cotton or perhaps Rosie Cotton (I would actually prefer the latter, since that is what she is usually called). -Aranel ("Sarah") 19:46, 29 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading Image:Pippintoppic.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 can claim fair use use {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or {{fairuse}}. 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 going to "Your contributions" from your user page 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. Thanks so much. --Pak21 12:58, 6 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, HopefullGomer! Thank you for your contributions to a Tolkien-related article. If you are interested, feel free to join WikiProject Middle-earth, a WikiProject focused on improving Tolkien-related articles in Wikipedia. We would be glad to have you join in the effort! Here're some good links and subpages related to the WikiProject.

If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to ask on our talk page. Thank you for your contributions and have fun editing! —Mirlen 03:08, 31 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You say you're interested in the Scarlet Pimpernel series. Can you remember the plot of the novel? Because it's not the one currently in the article. That's the 1982 Television adaptation one. A better one than the novel's, I think, but not really deserving of an appearance in the article if you can remember the real plot well enough to rewrite what's there.GSTQ 01:40, 6 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Unspecified source for Image:0006AC40-2CAA-1FD7-8DAB80C328EC0000.jpg

[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:0006AC40-2CAA-1FD7-8DAB80C328EC0000.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. 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 uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Nv8200p talk 01:09, 30 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Newline-boromir2.jpg)

[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Newline-boromir2.jpg. 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) 12:16, 31 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Costume.jpg

[edit]

Thank you for uploading File:Costume.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. SchuminWeb (Talk) 16:41, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

File source problem with File:Costume.jpg

[edit]

Thank you for uploading File:Costume.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, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4. If the image is copyrighted and non-free, the image will be deleted 48 hours after 15:42, 18 November 2010 (UTC) per speedy deletion criterion F7. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. SchuminWeb (Talk) 15:42, 18 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
