Orphaned fair use image (Image:Ufo screenie.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Ufo screenie.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.

Image:Lordsabre.jpg

Hello, LorD. An automated process has found and removed an image or media file tagged as nonfree media, and thus is being used under fair use that was in your userspace. The image (Image:Lordsabre.jpg) was found at the following location: User:LorD. This image or media was attempted to be removed per criterion number 9 of our non-free content policy. The image or media was replaced with Image:NonFreeImageRemoved.svg , so your formatting of your userpage should be fine. Please find a free image or media to replace it with, and or remove the image from your userspace. User:Gnome (Bot)-talk 06:01, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Conflict of interest

If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article SilverSpirit, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

1. editing articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with,
2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors,
3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam);

   and you must always:

4. avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially neutral point of view, verifiability, and autobiography.

Accounts used solely for blatant self-promotion may be blocked without further warning.

For more details, please read the Conflict of Interest guideline. Thank you. Videmus Omnia 03:10, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

That there AfD

Well - basically, you've summed up the problems with AfD. I'm afraid that few editors take more than a couple of seconds running through the article; in fact I suspect that several simply react to the comments of others. However, a deletion there is not entirely permanent. When (or if?) your group reaches the stage where it is notable enough for inclusion, another editor is likely to create the new article based on the new information. As is, the consensus was to delete. Although the whole process is rather impersonal, and this is probably a bad thing in the case of the articles, it is a good thing for the editors: a deletion is not a personal comment on their editing prowess; merely an invocation of policy from elsewhere. All articles up for AfD are treated fairly and subjected to the same policies and guidelines. Oh, and feel free to fight the corner for some of the articles that are up for deletion at the moment - sometimes a little bit of Keep voting goes a long way.

By the way, thanks for being civil throughout this proces - far too many COI-labelled users get rather disgruntled, so it's refreshing to see you using all of the proper channels of communication, erm, properly :). ck lostsword•T•C 10:02, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Fish.gif

Thanks for uploading File:Fish.gif. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

• make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
• Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 11:05, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
