Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. We as a community are glad to have you and thank you for creating a user account! Here are a few good links for newcomers:

• The Five Pillars of Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Editing, policy, conduct, and structure tutorial
• Picture tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Naming conventions
• Manual of Style
• Merging, redirecting, and renaming pages

Yes some of the links appear a bit boring at first, but they are VERY helpful if you ever take the time to read them.

Remember to place any articles you create into a category so we don't get orphans.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, please be sure to sign your name on Talk and vote pages using four tildes (~~~~) to produce your name and the current date, or three tildes (~~~) for just your name.

Recent image postings

Hi Rocknjosie. Thanks for your recent and past image contributions, but without licensing attribution, keeping the images can be problematic for the Wikipedia. Would you mind having a look at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and updating the images you've uploaded to have copyright attributions and licensing declaration?

From what I can see, you've uploaded the following images:

• File:NonFreeImageRemoved.svg NonFreeImageRemoved.svg
• Lothgarden.jpg (apparently from [1])
• Kng4.jpg (apparently from [2])
• Oski.jpg
• BoilermakerSpecial.jpg

The copy of Lothgarden.jpg picture on the USCA site has an embedded comment in the JPEG file identifying the author as Peg Skorpinski, so I've emailed her to ask for permission on the condition that she be given attribution and photo credit.

Thanks, Mike Dillon 07:44, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

As a USCA member, I felt it was okay using pictures the USCA had permission to use on their website. If that's not true let me know.

Thanks Rocknjosie

That depends on how the images were licensed to the USCA. The image needs to be either in the public domain, available under a free license, or a case of fair use. The Lothlorien image is not in the public domain, at least, as the author still claims the copyright, so we'll see if she decides to license it freely. Mike Dillon 03:00, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Lothgarden.jpg

Warning sign

This image may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Lothgarden.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 Template:Tl to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as Template:Tlp 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 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 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 unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. cohesion★talk 03:32, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

Image:History.jpg

Hello, Rocknjosie. 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:History.jpg) was found at the following location: User talk:Rocknjosie. 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 07:51, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

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

File:Copyright-problem.svg

Thank you for uploading File:History.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) 16:42, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

File source problem with File:History.jpg

File:Copyright-problem.svg

Thank you for uploading File:History.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)

File permission problem with File:Specialbrunch.jpg

File:Copyright-problem.svg

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

If you created 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 Template:Tl 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 Template:Tlp 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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kelly ^hi! 04:46, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. SounderBruce 00:56, 28 April 2020 (UTC)
