Image copyright problem with Image:Orcades-1959.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:Orcades-1959.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Sdrtirs (talk) 21:19, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Carlingford, New South Wales may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry, just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

Opting in to VisualEditor

As you may know, VisualEditor ("Edit ^beta") is currently available on the English Wikipedia only for registered editors who choose to enable it. Since you have made 50 or more edits with VisualEditor this year, I want to make sure that you know that you can enable VisualEditor (if you haven't already done so) by going to your preferences and choosing the item, "MediaWiki:Visualeditor-preference-enable". This will give you the option of using VisualEditor on articles and userpages when you want to, and give you the opportunity to spot changes in the interface and suggest improvements. We value your feedback, whether positive or negative, about using VisualEditor, at Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback. Thank you, Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 20:24, 11 October 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for January 21

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Henri Alfred Jacquemart, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Exposition Universelle (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Nellie Stewart

Thanks for working on Stewart. I did some work on the article years ago, but I'm afraid that I haven't done much with it since. The information in the article can be found in the references and notes that are already given, I think, but Wikipedia standards for referencing are more rigorous now, and references need to be moved in line so that we can tell what information in each paragraph is sourced to which of the references. If you have time to look into this, that would be super! All the best, -- Ssilvers (talk) 06:41, 27 January 2014 (UTC)

Yes, what I meant to say is that I think that the ELs at the bottom of the article have lots of information that should be moved to in-line references, but I unfortunately can't get to it any time soon. All the best! -- Ssilvers (talk) 15:40, 11 March 2014 (UTC)

Weet-Bix

A quick note to advise that I removed the card section that you had added. My concern is WP:OR, and that if some other person, or yourself, were to add the NZ cards then that whole section would almost outweigh the rest of the article. I don't see that level of detail for other trade cards in other articles. Snori (talk).

File permission problem with File:Orcades-2 c.1937.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Orcades-2 c.1937.jpg. 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 in section F11 of the 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) 19:30, 6 October 2021 (UTC)
