I got the source informations. Now what?
Not only is that Matt Frewer, but I created the image and assigned it creative commons. If you would have read the comment you would have seen that. Please be a bit more careful with your excisions in the future. Thanks!

I have absolutely no idea why certain photos were up for deletion, as they have been there for months; all I did was change the contrast and re-upload them. Other photos on the page have no problem at all (and were all uploaded by myself) so I have changed the tags to mirror the ones that are fair-use.--andreasegde (talk) 10:13, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
Polly, I love you. You added the sources for some Brian Epstein photos (because I didn't know, or had forgotten - Doh...) You are to be heartily congratulated (or something more romantic, if you wish) for your dilligence, caring, and understanding. I have never seen such a thing on Wikipedia before, and I wish you the "toppermost of the poppermost". I thank you.--andreasegde (talk) 18:56, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
I'm glad you liked the message - some people think a nice message is being sarcastic, believe it or not. Anyway, I have added the rest of the sources (apart from the telegram which I can't find.) I remembered that a few photos were from books that I have, and photographed... (ouch!). All the best. --andreasegde (talk) 15:14, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
Hello, Thank you very much for acceptng at least those two images you've declared as historic phgotographs (Bobby receiving his Oscar and Treasure Island - on the set). I've created a low resolution montage of five Peter Pan Production photographs, showing portions of the process of making the live action scenes and which I consider as historic as well. They are not in my possession and are still copyrighted, but are at least of the same importance and ability to improve the article on Bobby Driscoll as the other two ones, you've accepted. Its quality and shape is unsuitable for commercial use, and I declared them as Fair Use. If you disagree, simply delete it, and I will leave it at that.

I am in the process of reducing many Nero Wolfe book cover images I uploaded some time ago, to a height not exceeding 600 pixels. Seven of the images I reduced today have been tagged as needing to be reduced still further. Can you look at them again, and if reducing them further is still necessary, could you please give me the maximum dimensions that are permitted? Thanks. WFinch (talk) 20:44, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Hello.
Thanks for advising me about the missing tagging of the picture I added.
However, I do not find any possibility to add the tags. It is the first picture I added.
It is NOT a commercial picture, it is FREE for use, and so on. Can you help me, as I do not want it to be deleted again.
And how do I do it with pictures I took myself??
Thanks a lot, and please be patient with me. royalrec
I can't see valid reason to delete this image. Its provenance is well described at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Axelrod01.jpg Please explain if you still want to delete it. AlbertHall (talk) 15:07, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
Can't say I'm familiar enough with the subject to make a decision on the matter without the source being cited- the images do not have adaquate sourcing, they should link to the website they were taken from, the book they were scanned from, or whatever. In any case, they'll be deleted in a few days (probably by me, I seem to be doing that a lot at the moment) as having no source, so I don't think we need to worry about it. I'll remove them from the articles in the mean time. J Milburn (talk) 18:11, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
Hello,
I added descriptive info to the uploaded image in question. As far as I know, the image is in the public domain. It was taken from the Daily Telegraph page cited in the article on Johnny Bassett. I expect it was provided to the Telegraph by Bassett. It's an excellent specimen, to be sure. And germaine to the article.

Hello. I noticed your tagging of the image Image:The Building Blocks with Life.jpg. I have been told to upload the highest resolution possible by another user in wiki commons.

Hello Polly,
The section that you keep deleating is a section on one of Williams Field High's heroes. At WFHS we are going through a tough time right now, and it is getting tougher when someone goes to Dylan's section on the WFHS page, and it is gone. Dylan was only 14, and passed away in a tragic car accident, please stop deleating this content. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Skycaptain14 (talk • contribs) 03:39, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, but my source is my self. We as a group edit this. Students and teachers. We don't have resources for this information. We don't need to read or watch the news to find out whats happening around us. For the sake of Dylan, please leave this be for him. If you are worried about some sort of "Source" you can write, "WILLIAMS FIELD ADMIN" or something. Thx. WFHS Students and fac.Skycaptain14 (talk • contribs) 03:39, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
Hi Polly! I noticed that you tagged everything recently uploaded by user Omkara69 for speedy-deletion. However, they clearly state that these are their own photographs, so I don't see why there is any confusion about source or copyright. Perhaps there's something I'm missing; if so, I'm happy to be illuminated. It would just be a shame if these images got deleted prematurely, because they're good content, and I get the feeling that Omkara69 might not be the sort of user who checks Wikipedia before the speedy-delete deadline. Skybum (talk) 01:44, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
You've queried the provenance of the image attached to Microcon. As clearly stated in the image's own entry, it has been included on Wikipedia with the express consent of the artist, Kevin Clarke. The society set up the Microcon page on Wiki and its members are aware of recent edits, including the addition of the logo. The image was taken from my own photograph of my own society t-shirt. What is the problem? Ghostwords (talk) 15:25, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
The image of Joel Lane is the standard publicity shot provided by his publishers and should therefore qualify as public domain. I hope to replace it with one of my own photographs of Joel in due course, but cannot see why the current image requires speedy deletion. Ghostwords (talk) 15:32, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
Hi Polly,
I recently uploaded a photo from a government website which was licensed for the public use, but you recommended it for deletion. I was wondering if you could please point me in the direction of the rules for uploading photos as I'm rather new and I assumed that any publicly owned content would be fine on Wikipedia.

Author Phyllis Carol Olive has given me permission to post her copyrighted map on Wikipedia "Limited geography setting (Book of Mormon)" section "Great Lakes setting". She only asks for attribution and that the work not be used for commercial gain. I have told her that she needs to email permission to Wikipedia. Will an informal email from her to "permissions-commons AT wikimedia DOT org", stating the article, section, name of the copyrighted work and date, as well as a statement of her granting permission suffice?
Thanks!

Hello Polly, glad to see that you are awake on your perch. The image Youtube high low quality.JPG was tagged as a copyrighted screenshot although it was created by me to illustrate YouTube. The stills from YouTube are used for illustration purposes only.

You've tagged a lot of images for deletion lately and I just wanted to point out some that I have removed the deletion tag from for various reasons:
If you're tagging images for deletion under CSD:I3 because you've had a look at the flickr site that the image came from and it has a different license from that on the image page, please consider mentioning in the edit summary or elsewhere that the source says that the image isn't under cc-by but is cc-by-nd (or whatever other license). Thanks for your great work! Stifle (talk) 13:24, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
Please read the messages at the top of a user's talk page before posting. I have a big red stop sign at the top of my page that asks people to stop filling up my talk page with a never ending parade of "Look out! We are going to delete your image!" messages.
If you and your ilk want to spend all their time taking other people's stuff out of Wikipedia instead of adding your own stuff into it, that's fine. Just stop pestering me about it.
Enjoy your imageless encyclopedia.

The creator changed the posted license status. They have confirmed it was previously CC-BY. I am getting explicit confirmation and will be posting a UR when I have it. Just a heads up.

A tag has been placed on Image:Asa Dotzler.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding ((hangon))
to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on [[ Talk:Image:Asa Dotzler.jpg|the talk page]] explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Hey Polly, I appreciate your work with images. Would you be willing to take a look at Image:6a00d8341d0dbb53ef00e54f33c1b98833-640wi.jpg? In addition to the image name, it was uploaded by a user (User:Lamrock) who hasn't uploaded a photo before and may not know Wikipedia's guideline. The image does show up on a Google Image search for White Zinfandel with uncertain authorship. Appreciate your time. AgneCheese/Wine 08:41, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
Hello! You left a speedy deletion notice on my talk page. The deletion has already been done. But as the image was copied to commons much earlier, the deletion had no net effect. However, that really isn't the point of my message. I specifically remember uploading that image (and another one along with it as well) over a year ago during the 2006 Asian games, while the page it was on was linked to from the main page. As an admin (even at that time), I am quite aware of image policies, and would never upload a copyrighted image. It is most likely that the creator of the image (on flickr.com) changed the license sometime after I uploaded it here. I'm not sure what applies legally in such cases.I really have no reasons to campaign for that image,so I'm fine with its deletion. However I'd like to know what the general procedure in such cases is. Thanks!--thunderboltz(TALK) 16:37, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
