two questions, cause i value your opinion above all others.

# To [[Cleopas]] and one other disciple as they walked to [[Emmaus]]. At first "their eyes were holden" so that they could not recognize him. Later while having supper at Emmaus "their eyes were opened" and they recognized him.

1. how’s it looking? i noticed you've helped me out with spelling, spacing, and some references. i as wondering if it looked like a legitimate wiki-article.

# To "[[Simon Peter|Simon]]." This appearance is not described directly by Luke but it is reported by the other apostles. It is not clear whether it happened before, after or contemporaneously with the appearance at Emmaus.

2. how much longer till i create the actual article? i would love to go ahead and create the article, but i don't want it tagged for deletion. do you think its almost ready, or ready, or still way far off?

# To the [[apostles|eleven]], together with some others (including Cleopas and his companion), in Jerusalem.

On a side note, could you go look at [[TouchLight]]? I created the article almost a week ago and it still hasn’t been tagged for having some problem. I’m worried I screwed up and only I can access it or something. Normally people mention all kinds of ways for me to improve my articles, but no one has said a thing about the TouchLight.

:the edits you made are a big improvement. i think that with your citation of the wii2 it is good enough to remain. but you can never be sure. no one has tagged it yet, and normally my articles only last about two to three hours before they get tagged, if even that long.[[User:J.L.Main|J.L.Main]] 04:06, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

==Problems with Mark's account==

== Image tagging for Image:Wii_internet_splash_screen_cropped.png ==

Each appearance has been the focus of much literary comment during the mediaeval era, and the [[York]] Cycle of [[Mystery play|English mystery plays]] has a whole play about the appearance to Mary. However, [[Mark 16|the ending of Mark]] varies substantially between ancient manuscripts, and scholars are in near universal agreement that the final portion of the traditional ending, in which all Mark's resurrection appearances occur, is a later addition not present in the original version of Mark's gospel. Unhelpfully it is the general opinion of textual scholars that none of the known variant endings, including the traditional one, is actually the original ending.

While Mark doesn't mention when the incident occurred, Matthew states that Jesus appeared to Mary and Mary while they were returning to tell the disciples what they had seen. John, on the other hand, presents a completely different incident. John's account parallels the synoptic accounts of Mary's first visit to the tomb, though in John, Mary has already been to the tomb once, and Peter has already inspected it. Unlike the first visit, the second, in John, is much more similar to the synoptic account of the empty tomb, with Mary peering into the tomb and witnessing two angels inside dressed in shining white. Having been questioned by the angels about her concern for the tomb's emptiness, Mary turns and sees Jesus, according to John.

Mary's presence at the tomb, however, jars with the preceding narrative in John, which presents Mary as having left the tomb, and having told Peter that it was empty. [[C.K. Barrett]] has attempted to resolve this by suggesting that Mary may have gone with Peter to witness his examination of the tomb.{{Fact|date=April 2007}} Some scholars feel that Mary never really left the tomb in the original form of John, and that Peter's visit has somehow become misplaced before she sees the angels in the tomb, rather than after.{{Fact|date=April 2007}} [[Raymond E. Brown|Brown]] has argued that the text for John 20 was combined from two separate sources, that John inexpertly interlaced together. To many it seems illogical for Mary to not have actually looked into the tomb before going and telling Peter and the Beloved Disciple that Jesus' body was gone. This is the only time in the Gospel of John that angels appear, and so some scholars believe that the angels were a later addition to the narrative {{Fact|date=April 2007}}, perhaps in an attempt to harmonise the account of Mary's visit to the tomb with the synoptic Gospels. Rationalists like [[Rudolf Schnackenberg]], however, believe that the angels were added to reinforce the lack of a corpse—by indicating that the angels were sitting where the head and feet of Jesus's corpse should have been, it shows that a full examination of the spot had been conducted. As a later addition, or misplacing of the text, an explanation is provided for why the angels are so quickly forgotten in the rest of the chapter, and for why the angels failed to appear to Peter when he examined the tomb.

== interwiki links ==

Why John describes Mary as loitering outside the tomb is unknown, though [[Augustine of Hippo]] proposed that ''when the men went away, a stronger affection kept the weaker sex firmly in place''. [[F.F. Bruce|Bruce]] believed that Mary was hoping someone would pass by who could give her some information, though why Mary does not seek out [[Joseph of Arimathea]], the owner of the tomb, for information is an obvious question. One theory is that Joseph was so far above Mary's in terms of social class that it would not be right for her to disturb him, but a more obvious solution is presented by Schnackenberg—the [[Codex Sinaiticus]] version of John has Mary waiting inside rather than outside, and this may be the original form—though again this still raises the question of why she was waiting at all, with several textual scholars{{Fact|date=April 2007}} arguing that Mary waiting outside is a [[redaction]] that was added once the angels part of the narrative, for the original tomb visit, became misplaced.

Hello, regardings [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sega_Master_System&curid=104168&diff=99738006&oldid=98820411 your change] in the [[Sega Master System]] article I just want to give you some information:

Iconically, John depicts Mary as weeping, ultimately causing her name to be associated with ''[[Magdalene College|Maudlin]]''. Both the angels address Mary as ''woman'', and then ask why she had been crying. This is not as uncouth as it first appears, since the underlying Greek term—''gunai''—was, in Greek, the polite way to address an adult female. While the synoptic Gospels demonstrate an awareness of Jewish beliefs, and people there are presented as being shocked and afraid of angels, John demonstrates no such awareness, instead presenting Mary as responding nonchalantly, and while some believe that this is due to Mary not recognising the figures as angels, due to grief or tears, some scholars tend to see this as owing to issues surrounding [[authorship of the Johannine works|the author of John]]. The conversation itself differs considerably from the one reported by the synoptics, and the angels are brief and do not give any hint of resurrection having happened, which Calvin attempted to justify by arguing that John was only including what was necessary to back up the resurrection. At this point the angels abruptly disappear from the narrative, and John and the synoptics begin to share the order of events again.

== Fair use criteria ==

Mark mentions Mary's post-tomb encounter with Jesus but gives no details, though he does remark that Jesus had cast ''seven devils'' out from her, presumably indicating an off-screen [[exorcism]]. Matthew instead reports that Jesus met Mary and Mary as they were returning to the other disciples; that they fell at his feet and worshipped him; and that he instructed them to tell the disciples that they would see him in Galilee.

John presents a far more elaborate conversation. According to John, once Mary has explained to the angels about her concern at the emptiness of the tomb, she turns and suddenly sees Jesus, but mistakes him for a [[gardener]] (the word ''gardener'' is a [[hapax legomenon]] in the bible). In John's account of the conversation, Jesus repeats the angels' question of why Mary is weeping, and Mary responds similarly, by requesting to know what Jesus (whom she has mistaken for someone else) has done with Jesus' body. After this response, John states that Jesus says Mary's name, she turns, and apparently realises who he is, whereupon Jesus enigmatically tells her to ''Touch [him] not, for [he is] not yet ascended to [his] father''(see [[Noli me tangere]]) and then to inform the disciples. To resolve the differences between the Gospels, some inerrantist scholars like Norman Geisler believe that after the events recounted by John, Mary runs into another group of women, whereupon the events of the synoptic accounts occur, though there is no evidence whatsoever for such a conclusion from John itself.

That three of the Gospels portray Mary Magdalene as the first to see Jesus post-death, is generally considered to be of significance. Mary Magdalene was a major figure in [[Gnosticism]], and one of the main teachers besides Jesus, the only other of similar significance being Thomas Didymus. Supporters of Gnostic priority (that Gnosticism is the original form of Christianity) see this as clear evidence that Mark, and hence, due to [[Markan priority]], the entire resurrection narrative, was intended to be interpreted gnostically. Though owing to intrinsic beliefs about the nature of the physical world, Gnosticism generally viewed women as equals, in Judaism of the era women were not considered valid legal witnesses. Westcott, and other supporters of John's authenticity, sometimes use this to argue that the narratives must be factual, since someone faking it would be more likely to use a prominent and respected witness.

== NAU page ==

Why John portrays Mary as initially not recognising Jesus, even though she had known him well for a long time, is something of much debate. One theory is that, since Luke records two disciples as failing to recognise a post-death appearance of Jesus, the physical form of Jesus after resurrection must have been different, either due to the resurrection process itself, or due to the ordeal of [[crucifixion]]. More down-to-earth explanations have also been advanced, the most prominent being that Mary's tears had clouded her vision, or alternately that she is so focused on recovering Jesus' body, that she is temporarily blind to its being in front of her. However, [[John Calvin]], and many other Christians, read this as a metaphor: that Mary's blindness despite seeing Jesus represents the ''blindness'', according to Christians, of non-Christians who have already been ''informed'' about Jesus. Why Jesus initially encourages Mary's lack of recognition is also something of a mystery, though [[Martin Dibelius|Dibelius]] sees it as a [[Conceit|literary conceit]], since the [[Trope (literature)|trope]] of a returning hero's being unrecognised or disguised dates back at least as far as [[Homer]]'s [[The Odyssey|Odyssey]], and [[André Feuillet|Feuillet]] sees echoes of the [[Song of Solomon]] in this passage.

Amongst those who see John as a deliberate piece of polemical [[orthodox]] [[propaganda]], it is seen as a deliberate attack by John against the gnostics, by portraying one of their key figures as being stupid. The frequently raised idea that John is orthodox propaganda has also been proposed to explain the reference to ''gardener''s. A Jewish anti-Christian story from the period sought to discredit the resurrection, by claiming that a gardener named Judas moved Jesus' body to another tomb to avoid his cabbages' being trampled upon by the crowds that came to see it, causing the resurrection myth to arise when Mary and the others found the tomb empty.{{Fact|date=April 2007}} [[Hans Von Campenhausen]] has argued that John adds the mention of a gardener as a deliberate reference to this Jewish story, and as an attempt to discredit it, though [[Rudolf Schnackenberg]] regards the sequence of cause and effect to be the reverse—that the Jewish story originated from John's mention of a gardener. Amongst Victorian commentators, [[Edwyn Hoskyns|Hoskyns]] and [[Joseph Barber Lightfoot|Lightfoot]] regarded the mention of a gardener as a metaphor relating to the [[Garden of Eden]].

[[Image:09nolim1.jpg|thumb|200px|Jesus telling Mary not to touch him, by [[Hans Holbein the Younger]]]]

== Orphaned fair use image (Image:LOGO_hi.png) ==

What is meant by Jesus telling Mary to ''Touch [him] not, for [he is] not yet ascended to [his] father'' has historically been the subject of extremely heavy debate. ''Touch me not'' became an extremely well known phrase, albeit in [[Latin]] as ''[[Noli me tangere]]'', and is still generally regarded as a direct reference to John's account of Jesus making this statement. The phrase does appear to be quite at odds with the other gospels and even with later parts of John, since John has Jesus asking [[Thomas Didymus]] to probe his wounds, and Mark has Mary and Mary holding Jesus by his ''feet'' (though ''feet'' was commonly used as an [[Old Testament]] euphemism for [[genitalia]]{{Fact|date=April 2007}}, it is near-universally thought to actually refer to ''feet'' on this occasion)

There are a wide variety of solutions, perhaps the most obvious being the suggestion of textual corruption, with some suggesting that the word ''not'' was not originally there, while W.E.P Cotter has proposed that the text originally said ''fear'' rather than ''touch'' (i.e. ''do not fear me''), and W.D. Morris has proposed it originally said ''fear to touch'' (i.e. ''do not fear to touch me''). There is however no linguistic evidence for these suggestions, and so most scholars concentrate on other avenues of argument. Some have proposed that Jesus' wounds were sore and so he disliked the pain inflicted by being touched, while others believe there to be ritualistic reasons involved. Kraft proposes that it was against ritual to touch a corpse, and Jesus wished to enforce this, regarding himself as dead, while C. Spicq proposes that Jesus saw himself as a (Jewish) high priest, who were not meant to be ''sullied'' by physical contact, and others still have proposed that Mary is being ordered to have faith and not seek physical proof.

== Orphaned fair use image (Image:1stlogo.png) ==

All of the aforementioned non-textual solutions, however, neglect the fact that John later describes Thomas Didymus as being encouraged to touch Jesus' wounds, apparently contradicting the prior arguments. Consequently many proposals hinge on portraying Jesus as upholding some form of propriety, with [[Chrysostom]] and [[Theophylact of Bulgaria|Theophylact]] arguing that Jesus was asking that more respect be shown to him, a view often linked to the notion that while it was not appropriate for a woman to touch Jesus it was fine for a man like Thomas. Kastner has argued that Jesus was naked, since the grave clothes were left in the tomb, and so John portrays Jesus as being concerned with Mary being tempted by his body.

Interpretations concentrating more on the subsequent context have also been proposed. H.C.G. Moule suggested that Jesus is merely re-assuring Mary that he is firmly on Earth and she need carry out no investigation, and others have suggested that Jesus is merely concerned with staying on-topic, essentially instructing Mary ''don't waste time touching me, go and tell the disciples''. Barrett has suggested that as Jesus prohibits Mary by arguing that he ''has not ascended to [his] father'', he could have ascended to heaven before meeting Thomas (and after meeting Mary), returning for the meeting with Thomas, though this view implies that the meeting with Thomas is some form of ''second'' visit, hence raising several theological issues, including that of a [[second coming]], and is consequently unfavourably viewed by most Christians. [[John Calvin]] argued that Mary (and Mary) had started to cling to Jesus, as if trying to hold him down on Earth, and so Jesus told them to give up; in consequence many Protestant translations, particularly those that are [[Calvinist]], use ''cling'' to describe how Jesus refers to Mary's behaviour (i.e. ''do not cling to me''), and ''touch'' elsewhere, such as with Thomas, even though both these are translations of the same Greek word. Nevertheless, if we focus on the actual situation rather than always resorting textual criticism to try to solve every assumed variation in the accounts, it does look as if Jesus was concerned with motives here: Jesus was willing to provide Thomas with sufficient evidence to overcome his unbelief, whereas this was not a problem for Mary. In the case of Mary, she had evidently loved Jesus deeply, not surprising in view of her deliverance (Mark 16:9), and was reluctant for Jesus to leave her now that he had returned. This shows Jesus' ability to penetrate beneath the surface and understand each individual's deepest motivations.

== AfD nomination of [[Wii launch]] ==

Historically, the phrase formed one of the main arguments in the debate on [[Christology]], seemingly suggesting some form of intangibility—a view shared in the modern era by Bultman—and hence appearing to advocate [[docetism]] (a view where Jesus' body is not resurrected as a physical object—''do not touch me because you can't''). This is quite at odds with John's general emphasis elsewhere against docetism, and so those who regard John as deliberate polemic tend instead to see this verse as an attack on Mary. Gnostics frequently viewed Mary Magdalene as being greater than the other disciples, and much closer to Jesus on both a spiritual and personal level, and hence Jesus treating Mary with disdain would question the respect and emphasis that gnosticism placed on her, much in the same way that Thomas Didymus is presented as doubting Jesus is physically there until he actually confirms it, while Gnostics viewed Thomas as a great teacher who had many revelations, and advocated docetism. All of this however presupposes Gnosticism is earlier than the [[Gospel of John]].

Mark reports merely that Jesus met Mary, and Luke doesn't even report this, but Matthew reports Jesus as instructing Mary to arrange for the disciples to meet him, while John has Jesus giving Mary a specific message to deliver—that he ''ascend[s] to [his] father and [her] Father, and to [his] God and [her] God''. Matthew also reports that while Mary and Mary were returning to the disciples, the watchmen of the city informed the chief priests of ''the things that were done'', and the [[sanhedrin]] gave money to the soldiers to spread the message that Jesus' corpse had been stolen by his disciples. Matthew mentions that this had become a common claim of the Jews.

Typically for John, the message that Jesus gives Mary seems to strongly assert a specific Christology, though many dispute quite which one. Jesus identifies the intended recipients of his message as being his ''adelphoi'', a Greek term meaning both ''cousin'' and ''brother'', which Alford believes is an implication that a new closeness exists between Jesus and his followers and an indication that Jesus is still fully human and a brother to other men. The message itself is one that is central to the debate between [[Monophysitism]] and [[Dyophysitism]], with Dyophysitism holding that the passage asserts that Jesus was both human and divine. That the passage is seen more to uphold the [[orthodox]] position than the non-orthodox position is often cited as evidence that the author of John wrote the Gospel as deliberate propaganda for the purpose of refuting non-orthodoxy in the ''second'' century, rather than being a devout work of an eyewitness from the first century, a period when the Monophysitism/Dyophysitism debate was a non-issue. That the message seems more concerned with the [[ascension]] than with the resurrection itself is sometimes read, particularly by [[Pentecostalism|Pentecostalists]] to imply that the ascension has far greater importance.

::Also, how do I reconcile the fact that I created an image with the same name only on en.wiki which is different from the one which Bobanny created?

=== TextualRyukyu featuresmacrons ===

<s>Thank you for following behind me and fixing my errors regarding the macrons in "Ryukyu"; I apologize to make you bother - I of course should be getting this right the first time on my own. Having been fairly active in the debate over it, I am a bit embarrassed to admit that I never quite followed what the actual final consensus was - thus these mistakes.</s>

In John, after Mary has first turned around and seen Jesus, and after Mary and Jesus have started conversing, when Jesus states her name Mary turns around again and speaks to him. Almost no-one believes that this means that when Jesus calls her name she turns her back to him and converses, and so the question arises as to how she could still be facing him if she has twice turned around. One school of thought is that Mary had turned away between these two turns, Kastner arguing that she had done so due to Jesus being nude, while another school of thought suggests, like Brown, that the first turn was only partial and the second was a complete turn—as if she was standing at right angles to Jesus the first time she speaks. Schnackenberg and many textual scholars argue that the initial part of the narrative is misplaced, and hence that these two turns occurred at originally quite separate incidents.

<s>I think, if I have it right now, macrons are okay in Ryūkyū Kingdom, but not in Ryukyu Islands or Ryukyuan language or people. Is that basically it? If you could explain it out briefly, or point me to the decision/consensus/guideline, I'd appreciate it. [[User:LordAmeth|LordAmeth]] 17:45, 1 February 2007 (UTC)</s>

According to John, when Jesus calls Mary's name she responds by stating [[Aramaic of Jesus#Rabboni .28.CE.A1.CE.B1.CE.B2.CE.B2.CE.BF.CF.85.CE.BD.CE.B5.CE.B9.29|''Rabboni'']]. Mark translates (into Greek) the word ''Rabboni'', claiming it means ''beloved teacher'', while John translates it (into Greek) as ''teacher''. The exact translation of ''Rabboni'' is disputed, but most linguists see it as sharing the same [[etymology]] as ''[[Rabbi]]'', though a more polite form—something like ''my dear Rabbi''. Mark's translation agrees with this, since ''Rabbi'' is generally considered to mean ''teacher'', while John's demonstrates slightly less knowledge of [[Aramaic]], apparently unaware of Aramaic grammar. While many religiously conservative scholars, like W.F. Albright, agree with this linguistic analysis, a few have sought to claim the term as evidence of divinity; Hoskyns, for example, has claimed that the similarly spelled word ''Rabbuni'' was used in works of the period as a name for God, and hence that Mary was claiming that Jesus was divine. Due to the lack of certain forms of punctuation in early manuscripts of the Gospels, it is uncertain whether ''Rabboni'' is used as an exclamation of recognition, or whether it is questioning and uncertain—''Rabboni?''.

::Never mind. I just found the thread from yesterday on the subject. Thanks again. [[User:LordAmeth|LordAmeth]] 17:48, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

John uses the wording ''Miriam'' when Jesus is described as speaking Mary's name, which according to [[Raymond E. Brown|Brown]] is more [[Hebrew language|Hebrew]] than the [[Aramaic]] term ''Mariam'' (from which, via [[Latin]], her English name—''Mary''—derives). Several scholars argue that this is evidence that the [[authorship of the Johannine works|author of John]] wasn't actually a disciple, and didn't really understand Jewish culture, since though Hebrew was still the liturgical and scriptural language, everyday speech of the period was generally Aramaic. Other scholars, though, disagree, arguing instead that authors in this period tended to vary between ''Miriam'' and ''Mariam'' indiscriminately.

== Other ExplanationsWiitard ==

Critics have suggested that Jesus may have existed and the events chronicled in the Bible may have happened but were misinterpreted by his followers. Some suggest that Jesus only appeared to be dead because he was a [[Temporal lobe epilepsy|temporal lobe epileptic]]. It has also been suggested that Jesus may have been under the influence of [[reserpine]], a botanical extract found in shubs in the area at that time. The massive release of stress hormones brought on by physical abuse and restraint may have induced a coma like form of [[hypothermia]], once the hormones dissipated and his body warmed up 48 hours later Jesus would have emerged from that coma.<ref>{{cite book| first=Stephen | last=Spignesi | coauthors= | title=Resurrection | date=[[2005-05-01]] | publisher=Citadel Press | work =The Weird 100 | pages =297-301 | language = }}</ref>

== Re: Watch pages 2-5 ==

Watch pages 2-4 are pages that I want to give further attention to, much like watch1, just sorted by date rather than what needs to be fixed.

Watch5 is just a list of pages I'm interested in. I use my actual account watchlist to help generate the lists on 1-4 so it would be difficult to keep them there.

Unfortunately, these lists are not generated automatically. I'm endlessly clicking on each link on the "new pages" list, and when I see a page with a "problem" I just add it to my watchlist, then after I've looked at a whole day's worth of new pages, I format the list and put in on Watch4 (this is the page that always gets the newest data at the moment), then clear my watchlist for a new day's worth of data.

What will often happen with the links on these pages though, is that someone else will make the corrections before I get to them (because all my time is used up generating the lists), and the links will remain even though the problem has been corrected. If you want to click through on some of these links and do some fixes, feel free to do so, but please do not remove the links from my watch pages. I will clean those up as soon as I catch up on the lists. [[User:CG janitor|CG janitor]] 05:45, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

== rename IP address to user name ==

Hi!

Sorry to bother you (again). Just wondering, I created an article, [[Liam Mower]] as [[147.197.215.16]], some time ago, either I forgot to use my username or I haven't created a username. Can it be renamed to my user name?--[[User:W Tanoto|w_tanoto]] 17:40, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

: hey, thanks for the response. I have added that.--[[User:W Tanoto|w_tanoto]] 18:08, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

== Flag creation request ==

I saw that you created flags for the Ryukyu Kingdom, and I have a request for you to create a bordered version of [[:Image:Ryukyu Islands flag 1875-1879.svg]]. Also, this image has the blue and yellow colors backwards (see [http://www.fotw.net/flags/jp-47-dy.html]), so I'd appreciate if you could reverse them.

Thanks. --[[User:Scottalter|Scott Alter]] 22:18, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

Sorry to be picky, but could you increase the width of the border (like [[:Image:Flag of Japan (bordered).svg]])? Also, I noticed that the triskelion is in opposite directions on [[:Image:Ryukyu Islands flag until 1875.svg]] and [[:Image:Ryukyu Islands flag 1875-1879 cswb.svg]] (clockwise versus counterclockwise). Is this correct? Besides at http://www.worldstatesmen.org/Japan.htm, I've never seen the old Ryukyu flag anywhere else - so I do not know if this is how it actually looked or not. --[[User:Scottalter|Scott Alter]] 02:29, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

==Orphaned non-free image (Image:Logo eldr.png)==

Thanks for uploading '''[[:Image:Logo eldr.png]]'''. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a [[WP:FU|claim of fair use]]. However, the image is currently [[Wikipedia:Orphan|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. [[WP:BOLD|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 for use on Wikipedia (see [[Wikipedia:Non-free content#Policy|our policy for non-free media]]).

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 "[[Special:Contributions/{{PAGENAME}}|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.

==[[:Image:Skorupy.png]]==

Hi. When you uploaded [[:Image:Skorupy.png]], you did not specify complete source and copyright information. Another user subsequently tagged it with {{tl|GFDL-presumed}} and, for some time, it has existed on Wikipedia under the assumption that you created the image and you agreed to license it under the [[GFDL]]. This assumption, however well-meaning, is not legally sufficient and the tag is being phased out. Images using it are being deleted.

This image has been tagged for deletion and will be deleted in one week if adequate copyright information is not provided.

'''If you, personally, are the author of this content''', meaning that you took the photograph yourself or you created the chart yourself (and it does not use any clipart that you did not create), please retag the image with a free [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags|image copyright tag]] that correctly describes your licensing intentions, usually {{tl|GFDL-self}} or {{tl|PD-self}}. Please also make sure if you have not already done so that you write a good description of what the image depicts, when you took the photo, and other important details. This will allow Wikipedia to continue using the image.

'''If you did not create the image''' or if it is derived from the copyrighted works of others, please keep in mind that most images on the internet are copyrighted and are not suitable for use on Wikipedia. Wikipedia respects the copyrights of others and does not use images unless we know that they have been freely licensed. Any creative work is automatically copyrighted, ''even if it lacks a copyright notice''. Unless the copyright holder has specifically disclaimed their rights to the image and released it under the GFDL or another compatible license, we cannot use it. If you did not create the image, and cannot make the image compliant with [[Wikipedia:Non-free content]], simply do nothing and it will be deleted in a week. All other non-free images must follow [[WP:IDP#Fair_use_rationale|these]] rules.

Please feel free to contact me on my talk page or leave a message at [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions]] with any questions you may have. Thank you. [[User:Aksibot|Aksibot]] 07:36, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

==Fair use rationale for [[:Image:Nappi Nippas logo.png]]==

[[Image:Nuvola apps important.svg|70px|left]]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to '''[[:Image:Nappi Nippas logo.png]]'''. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under [[Wikipedia:Fair use|fair use]] but there is no [[Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline|explanation or rationale]] as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Fair use|boilerplate fair use template]], you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found [[WP:FURG|here]].

Please go to [[:Image:Nappi Nippas logo.png|the image description page]] and edit it to include a [[Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline |fair use rationale]]. Using one of the templates at [[Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline]] is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "[[Special:Contributions/{{PAGENAME}}|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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Images.2FMedia|criteria for speedy deletion]]. If you have any questions please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions|Media copyright questions page]]. Thank you.<!-- Template:Missing rationale -->[[User:BetacommandBot|BetacommandBot]] 04:23, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

==Unspecified source for [[:Image:AirBaltic_logotype.png]]==

Thanks for uploading '''[[:Image:AirBaltic_logotype.png]]'''. 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, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{Tl|GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the [[GFDL]]. If you believe the media meets the criteria at [[Wikipedia:Fair use]], use a tag such as {{tlp|non-free fair use in|article name}} 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 files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [{{fullurl:Special:Log|type=upload&user=Jecowa}} this link]. '''Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged''', as described on [[wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Images.2FMedia|criteria for speedy deletion]]. If the image is copyrighted under a [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Fair use|non-free license]] (per [[Wikipedia:Fair use]]) then '''the image will be deleted [[WP:CSD#I7|48 hours]] after 21:04, 11 July 2007 (UTC)'''.
