Image copyright problem with Image:March on rome.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:March on rome.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. Even if you created the image yourself, you still need to release it so Wikipedia can use it. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like {{PD-self}} (to release all rights), {{self|CC-by-sa-3.0|GFDL}} (to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

• Wikipedia:Image use policy
• Wikipedia:Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by STBotI. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 13:26, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Declaration Regarding Material Assistance

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Declaration Regarding Material Assistance, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Plrk (talk) 22:37, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Hmmm - odd that you would invite me to join the Ohio Portal, and then on the same day start digging through my submissions for something to submit for deletion. At the time of the submission of the image, the website in question provided fair use guidelines that I followed. I only worked on the page because it was listed under Wikipedia articles needing cleanup - I have no interest in the article beyond a brief effort to contribute to as better article. Anyways, have fun with your Wikipedia endeavors. Historymike (talk) 00:00, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Photo of Peter Waite

Peter Waite, Australian pastoralist and philanthropist.

Hello Historymike, the image of Peter Waite you uploaded in 2008 has only been used in one article Peter Waite (philanthropist) for the Australian pastoralist and philanthropist. It seems odd that such a photo of an oil painting of such a South Australian has come from Toledo, Ohio. The State Library of South Australia have a photo (but permission is required to use) of him in his early years and I struggle to see the resemblance. Are you able to confirm that the photo is of the correct Peter Waite? Thanks.--Cruickshanks (talk) 20:17, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

Yes, this is the correct Peter Waite, though about four decades removed from the image you linked. Feel free to edit the article if you prefere a different image. Historymike (talk) 12:48, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for that. I found the same image elsewhere and that seems to confim it is one and the same person. I also found a photograph and a painted version in the exact same pose and so it was certain the painting was of the photo. Not a big issue but for information, I suspect based on the detail visible in his beard that the image you have is actually an extract of the photograph used for the painting, rather than the painting itself. Anyway, it does appear to be Peter Waite 40 years later. Regards--Cruickshanks (talk) 16:27, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Gulf of Aden2.xcf

A tag has been placed on File:Gulf of Aden2.xcf requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.  Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 23:46, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

Question about your Norman Smith image

Hi there, I noticed your upload File:Norman Smith.jpg has a public domain license and the description seems to indicate you took the photo, but you would have been about 1 year old in 1965.

File source problem with File:Tkachev 2.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Tkachev 2.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 page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Hi Mike,

I was wondering if you knew anything about the Elizabethan Era in England. I am currently researching the question: How did Queen Elizabeth I create a sense of nationalism in England? I was hoping you would be able to provide some insight on this topic or direct me to a person who could.

Proposed deletion of File:Puggle two year.JPG

The file File:Puggle two year.JPG has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

unused, low-res, no obvious use

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

2019 US Banknote Contest

	US Banknote Contest
	November-December 2019
There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of United States banknotes, yet only a fraction of these are represented on Wikimedia Commons in the form of 2D scans. Additionally, Colonial America, the Confederate States, the Republic of Texas, multiple states and territories, communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons. In the months of November and December, WikiProject Numismatics will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the 2019 US Banknote Contest. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on all Wikimedia projects. Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive awards. Whether you want to claim the Gold Wiki or you just want to have fun, all are invited to participate. If you do not want to receive invitations to future US Banknote Contests, follow the instructions here
