== Missing source of origin on a picture ==

Hello,

You uploaded [[:Image:JPIIassinattem81.jpeg]] and stated that it is released to the public domain, but you did not mention who shot the picture and why is it public domain, who released it that way? 

Please update the description of the picture (and other possible pictures you may have uploaded without specific sources).

Thank you, --[[User:Grin|grin]] [[user_talk:grin|&#9998;]] 19:23, 2005 Apr 7 (UTC)
==License tagging for Image:Mzred*.jpg==
Thanks for uploading [[:Image:Mzred*.jpg]].  You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image.  Wikipedia uses a set of [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags|image copyright tags]] to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/All|this list]], click on [[:Image:Mzred*.jpg|this link]], then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description.  If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions]].  Thank you for your cooperation. --[[User:ImageTaggingBot|ImageTaggingBot]] ([[User talk:ImageTaggingBot|talk]]) 18:07, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

== Pictures, civility and some thoughts ==

Hello,

First, I do not delete your pictures, I only try to help you to keep them. If you forget to state the required data (eg. who made the picture, who owns the copyright, etc) the picture is bound to be deleted, because Wikipedia '''needs to know''' enough data to be sure the picture is legal to publish.

Then it is not really polite to call someone ''Pain In The Ass'' because he tries to help you. (Not that I am not a PITA but stating it is a bit different matter.)

Most importantly try to enter your email address at the ''"my preferences"'' menu above, because this way we cannot send an email through Wikipedia to you and you answer messages written in '''''2005'''''. If you enter your email address we can send you an alert that you have a new message (and by the way Wikipedia automagically can do the same if you select it around the same place).

Your pictures were deleted not because we think you weren't shot the pictures, and not because we believe you lied about anything, or because the pictures weren't good or useful; they were deleted because you did not provide enough information on the sources to ''make us sure'' that they're really free to publish, and we do not intend to risk being illegal and get attacks from lowlife lawyers all around the globe. I am sure you understand and agree with that. You're welcome to reupload the pictures with the required information provided: '''who shot them, who owns the copyright, whether the author explicitely permit publication by a Creative Commons or GFDL license'''.

Thank you! --[[user:grin|grin]] [[user_talk:grin|&#9998;]] 21:07, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
