Wikimedia Commons and source information of images
Copyright
Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. You may be unfamiliar with the copyright rules regarding what you can and cannot add to Wikipedia. I noticed, for example, that the text and picture for Atlanta Civic Center were copied directly from the Civic Center's webpage. For most webpages, the content on the page is copyrighted, so you can't just cut and paste that information into a Wikipedia article. What you should do instead is summarize and paraphrase information from other sources. As an example, I've replaced the text at Atlanta Civic Center with a very short summary of what was there beforehand - maybe you could add back some relevant information in your own words. I've also listed the picture there to be deleted. Please see Wikipedia:Copyrights for more information.
Please don't view this information as a scolding. We appriciate your help and realize that it usually takes new users a little bit of time to understand some of the rules. Please continue to contribute, but be more careful. Sayeth 20:06, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)
- I noticed a few others that are or may be copyright violations: Technology Square, Sweet Auburn, and Image:P05130.jpg. If there are any others, list them at Wikipedia:Copyright problems. Thanks! -- Sayeth 21:19, Jun 7, 2005 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Nanning.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Nanning.jpg. I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag, so its copyright status is therefore unclear. Please add a tag to let us know its copyright status. (If you created/took the picture then you can use {{gfdl}} to release it under the GFDL. If you can claim fair use use {{fairuse}}.) If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know on the image description page where you got the images and I'll tag them for you. Otherwise, see Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use. Thanks so much.
- Image:Nanjingz.jpg too, please. --Michael 04:50, September 3, 2005 (UTC)

Gallery
There is a discussion going on in the Big East Conference Talk Page concerning the use of logo galleries in football conference articles. The outcome of the discussion might influence the use use of galleries in all conference articles, so I thought you'd like to put forward your input. If you feel so inclined, please go and check it out and leave a comment. --ScottyBoy900Q 15:55, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
Image Tagging
Greetings. From the description and use of Image:Vanderbiltsec.gif and Image:Southcarolinasec.gif, it appears you intended this media to be freely available. I took the liberty of applying {{GFDL-presumed}} tags to these images. Could you confirm this by replacing my edits with {{GFDL-self}}? Regards, Dethomas 21:16, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
Image Tagging Image:Northwesternb10.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Northwesternb10.gif. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as {{fairusein|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 media, consider checking 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. No Guru 18:36, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
