File:BabMikadoTeeth.jpg

I'm curious, how did I not attribute correctly? Surely you could have fixed my mistake, whatever it was, instead of deleting the file. -- Closedmouth ( talk) 03:34, 20 March 2009 (UTC) reply

  • "Author" field should show info on author, etc. The bot is by nature stupid and may not recognize things that are obvious to humans and produce bizarre misinformation; keep an eye on it while transfering images. I've fixed thousands of images. If you think an image is worth transfering, please take responsibility to complete the process yourself. Thanks much. Cheers, -- Infrogmation ( talk) 15:39, 20 March 2009 (UTC) reply
I thought I did. Are you requesting that I put "W.S. Gilbert" in the author field, or your username? My memory isn't perfect, but I'm sure I had your username in the author field. Is this wrong? -- Closedmouth ( talk) 04:35, 21 March 2009 (UTC) reply
Gilbert is the author. (All I did was scan it; making a mechanical reproduction of copyright expired material generates no new copyright.) The transfer bot seems to be default set for photos taken by Wikipedians; images which did not originate at Wikipedia generally require a bit of editing to the text the bot generates. Thanks. -- Infrogmation ( talk) 04:41, 21 March 2009 (UTC) reply
I'm sorry to labour the point, but when transferring the image, the text "cartoon illustration by "Bab" (WS Gilbert, died 1911) for the Mikado" and "Cartoon by W.S. Gilbert" are both copied in the description field. To require that the attribution be in the author field or have the image deleted seems overly anal, if you don't mind my saying. Describing the image as being by Gilbert in the description seems to me to be perfectly legitimate. -- Closedmouth ( talk) 16:04, 21 March 2009 (UTC) reply
Agree that mentioning the image as being by Gilbert in the description is legitmate. Disagree vehemently that having the name of the author in the "author" field is "anal"-- it seems to me about the most minimal and basic of requirements. I can't think of any legitimate counter argument if Wikimedia hopes to have any credibility as an image repository rather than a website full of images with unreliable garbage description texts. If you really have an argument that the "author" field should have information irrelevent to authorship, I'll be flabbergasted, and suggest you present it to a much wider Wikimedia audience than my talk page. I'm really not interested in picking an arguement with you-- I thank you for your work on Wikimedia. Please, just when transfering images take an extra couple of seconds to make sure information is correct. Thanks much. Cheers, -- Infrogmation ( talk) 03:06, 22 March 2009 (UTC) reply
Ah, no, sorry, I didn't mean to imply that going to the effort of putting the illustrator in the author field was anal, I don't think that at all. And I'm not saying the author field should have the uploader listed rather than the illustrator, I was merely making the point that deleting the image for this reason when the attribution is clearly stated in the description field is, perhaps (and keeping in mind that I am in no way doubting your, I am sure, estimable skills as an administrator) unnecessary.
I apologise again for keeping on with this, I'm sure you're thoroughly sick of me already, it's just that when I make a mistake around here, I like to know the details of what I did wrong, especially considering I'll be doing a crapload more of these transwikis in the future. Thanks. -- Closedmouth ( talk) 07:08, 22 March 2009 (UTC) reply

Anyways, I hope I did it right this time. -- Closedmouth ( talk) 13:44, 24 March 2009 (UTC) reply

Page move

Hi. NEVER try to "move" a page by copy and pasting what other people wrote to another title. That messes up article history, and removes the required attribution of who wrote what. What to do then if you think something should be at another title? See Help:Moving a page. Hope this helps. -- Infrogmation ( talk) 17:26, 27 March 2009 (UTC) reply

  • Hi. It looks like you're familiar with the "move page" function and have used it in the past-- good! But you also sometimes did "copy and paste" pseudo moves-- not good! Please be sure to use the "move page" function consistantly when moving an article-- especially any article that contains any text or work by someone other than yourself. I undid your moves of the Saenger Theatre articles for New Orleans and Pensacola. You may be correct that another title would be better; I undid simply to clean up/restore article history, per Wikipedia policy. See the comment I left at Talk:New Orleans Saenger Theatre. Thanks for your work. If you have questions about Wikipedia policies and practices you can't find an answer for, ask. Cheers, -- Infrogmation ( talk) 17:59, 27 March 2009 (UTC) reply
Thanks for your help. Sorry for the screw up. Markhh ( talk) 05:09, 28 March 2009 (UTC) reply

What was the point of restoring this? There is nothing of importance in that history; it's a shared school IP with, unsurprisingly, a lot of vandalism warnings. Mainly, I was concerned when I noticed that someone had used an unblock request to make an attack on another student at the school, and an admin simply declined the unblock leaving the full name and attack there since 2007. I can't see what in the history would matter enough to be restored, as it hasn't been edited since November. Dominic· t 07:20, 29 March 2009 (UTC) reply

The point of the history restoration was that it's a ip that's been actively vandalizing for some time and was currently under block. Users fighting vandalism should be able to see that any new problems was not the first for the isp. The talk page was deleted with the reason "Housekeeping and routine (non-controversial) cleanup". This didn't seem a good reason for deleting talk page of a ip under a current active block, so I restored. If there is something particularly problematic in the article history, I have no objection to purging the personal attack edits, or deleting the page then creating a new version with sufficient info to give vandalism fighters a general idea of the ip's problem history. I see now that last was perhaps what you intended to do. I previously had no way to know that. I suggest if you do something like that, you put a note in the deletion summary description so other admins can see what was being done and why, as that's a bit less simple than routine housekeeping. Thank you for your work. Cheers, -- Infrogmation ( talk) 12:41, 29 March 2009 (UTC) reply

Orphaned non-free image (Image:SpecialtyRecord.jpg)

⚠

Thanks for uploading Image:SpecialtyRecord.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently 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. 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 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 " 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 non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Aspects ( talk) 18:33, 9 April 2009 (UTC) reply

Gottlieb photos

Yes I do think there is a way to reuse these photos, because it says right in the website:

Access: Permitted; subject to P&P policy on serving originals, which requires the use of digital images in lieu of the original negatives. [1]

Reproduction (photocopying, hand-held camera copying, photoduplication and other forms of copying allowed by "fair use"): Permitted, subject to P&P policy on copying, which prohibits service of the original negatives.

And only "Works created after January 1, 1978 are protected for the creator's life plus 70 years." So we should be allowed to use these images for educational purposes.

Why, if that's not a rationale enough case, then maybe I should Email Edward Gottlieb and have him type a letter of approval. Morahman7vn ( talk) 04:40, 17 April 2009 (UTC) reply

  • Hi. I don't have a VOODOO page. Perhaps you mean one of the pages related to voodoo here on Wikipedia? You can edit to add links to articles with a pair of brackets around the word. Example [[voodoo]] creates the link to voodoo. Check out the links to Wikipedia:Introduction and related pages in the welcome message on your talk page. You can edit and add links yourself. Once you take a little time to learn how its done, I think you'll find that the basics of editing Wikipedia are pretty easy. Don't worry if you don't know how to do everything perfectly right off the bat; this is a collaborative project. Try looking at the Wikipedia introduction and help pages first, and if you still can't find answers, ask. Happy editing. Cheers, -- Infrogmation ( talk) 15:15, 30 April 2009 (UTC) reply

Hi Infrogmation,

Can you help me out with the copyright status on this image? Is it fair to say it's from before 1923? Papa November ( talk) 20:16, 15 May 2009 (UTC) reply

Hi. If I uploaded it tagged as PD I probably had reason to think it was PD for one reason or another, pre '23 or no copyright notice. Sorry I don't recall off hand, and lost much of my sheet music collection in Katrina so I can't check now. Sorry I'm not of more help with this one. -- Infrogmation ( talk) 20:22, 15 May 2009 (UTC) reply

I have nominated Discography, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Discography.

Record Label Images

Thank you for uploading images/media to Wikipedia! As you may know, there is another Wikimedia Foundation project called Wikimedia Commons, a central media repository for all free media. In future, please upload media there instead (see m:Help:Unified login). That way, all of the other language Wikipedias can use them too, as well as our many sister projects. This will also allow our visitors to search for, view and use our media in one central location. If you wish to move previous uploads to Commons, see Wikipedia:Moving images to the Commons (you may view previous uploads by going to your user contributions on the left and choosing the 'file' namespace from the drop down box (or see [2]). Please note that non-free content, such as images claimed as fair use, cannot be uploaded to the Wikimedia Commons. Help us spread the word about Commons by informing other users, and please continue uploading!

Rather than me tagging these all indvidually (and leaving a load of bot-spam on your page), could you consider updating and moving these as a batch?

Sfan00 IMG ( talk) 12:53, 19 May 2009 (UTC) reply

What I have been doing is adding FUR for the remaining ones, IS there somewhere the status of these

In all of these cases, the essential info all seems to have already been there, just formatted from before Wikipedia used the templates.

Hi! Looks like every time we meet, we disagree about whether or not something is a song :) I considered moving the article to High Society (composition) first, but because the tune does in fact have lyrics (albeit seldom heard), and because a lot of readers will probably be more familiar with "(song)", I decided it was better to go with "(song)".

A tag has been placed on File:JSSargent1887.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I2 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, 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 the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay.

Fair use rationale for File:MercuryAd1950.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:MercuryAd1950.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

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 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Papa November ( talk) 10:13, 4 July 2009 (UTC) reply

Replaceable fair use Image:FrogmanHenry1963Twist.jpg

Replaceable fair use
Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:FrogmanHenry1963Twist.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{ di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Aspects ( talk) 15:19, 4 July 2009 (UTC) reply

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, 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, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

File:BabMikadoTeeth.jpg

I'm curious, how did I not attribute correctly? Surely you could have fixed my mistake, whatever it was, instead of deleting the file. -- Closedmouth ( talk) 03:34, 20 March 2009 (UTC) reply

  • "Author" field should show info on author, etc. The bot is by nature stupid and may not recognize things that are obvious to humans and produce bizarre misinformation; keep an eye on it while transfering images. I've fixed thousands of images. If you think an image is worth transfering, please take responsibility to complete the process yourself. Thanks much. Cheers, -- Infrogmation ( talk) 15:39, 20 March 2009 (UTC) reply
I thought I did. Are you requesting that I put "W.S. Gilbert" in the author field, or your username? My memory isn't perfect, but I'm sure I had your username in the author field. Is this wrong? -- Closedmouth ( talk) 04:35, 21 March 2009 (UTC) reply
Gilbert is the author. (All I did was scan it; making a mechanical reproduction of copyright expired material generates no new copyright.) The transfer bot seems to be default set for photos taken by Wikipedians; images which did not originate at Wikipedia generally require a bit of editing to the text the bot generates. Thanks. -- Infrogmation ( talk) 04:41, 21 March 2009 (UTC) reply
I'm sorry to labour the point, but when transferring the image, the text "cartoon illustration by "Bab" (WS Gilbert, died 1911) for the Mikado" and "Cartoon by W.S. Gilbert" are both copied in the description field. To require that the attribution be in the author field or have the image deleted seems overly anal, if you don't mind my saying. Describing the image as being by Gilbert in the description seems to me to be perfectly legitimate. -- Closedmouth ( talk) 16:04, 21 March 2009 (UTC) reply
Agree that mentioning the image as being by Gilbert in the description is legitmate. Disagree vehemently that having the name of the author in the "author" field is "anal"-- it seems to me about the most minimal and basic of requirements. I can't think of any legitimate counter argument if Wikimedia hopes to have any credibility as an image repository rather than a website full of images with unreliable garbage description texts. If you really have an argument that the "author" field should have information irrelevent to authorship, I'll be flabbergasted, and suggest you present it to a much wider Wikimedia audience than my talk page. I'm really not interested in picking an arguement with you-- I thank you for your work on Wikimedia. Please, just when transfering images take an extra couple of seconds to make sure information is correct. Thanks much. Cheers, -- Infrogmation ( talk) 03:06, 22 March 2009 (UTC) reply
Ah, no, sorry, I didn't mean to imply that going to the effort of putting the illustrator in the author field was anal, I don't think that at all. And I'm not saying the author field should have the uploader listed rather than the illustrator, I was merely making the point that deleting the image for this reason when the attribution is clearly stated in the description field is, perhaps (and keeping in mind that I am in no way doubting your, I am sure, estimable skills as an administrator) unnecessary.
I apologise again for keeping on with this, I'm sure you're thoroughly sick of me already, it's just that when I make a mistake around here, I like to know the details of what I did wrong, especially considering I'll be doing a crapload more of these transwikis in the future.

Page move

Hi. NEVER try to "move" a page by copy and pasting what other people wrote to another title. That messes up article history, and removes the required attribution of who wrote what. What to do then if you think something should be at another title? See Help:Moving a page. Hope this helps. -- Infrogmation ( talk) 17:26, 27 March 2009 (UTC) reply

  • Hi. It looks like you're familiar with the "move page" function and have used it in the past-- good! But you also sometimes did "copy and paste" pseudo moves-- not good! Please be sure to use the "move page" function consistantly when moving an article-- especially any article that contains any text or work by someone other than yourself. I undid your moves of the Saenger Theatre articles for New Orleans and Pensacola. You may be correct that another title would be better; I undid simply to clean up/restore article history, per Wikipedia policy. See the comment I left at Talk:New Orleans Saenger Theatre. Thanks for your work. If you have questions about Wikipedia policies and practices you can't find an answer for, ask. Cheers, -- Infrogmation ( talk) 17:59, 27 March 2009 (UTC) reply
Thanks for your help. Sorry for the screw up. Markhh ( talk) 05:09, 28 March 2009 (UTC) reply

What was the point of restoring this? There is nothing of importance in that history; it's a shared school IP with, unsurprisingly, a lot of vandalism warnings. Mainly, I was concerned when I noticed that someone had used an unblock request to make an attack on another student at the school, and an admin simply declined the unblock leaving the full name and attack there since 2007. I can't see what in the history would matter enough to be restored, as it hasn't been edited since November. Dominic· t 07:20, 29 March 2009 (UTC) reply

The point of the history restoration was that it's a ip that's been actively vandalizing for some time and was currently under block. Users fighting vandalism should be able to see that any new problems was not the first for the isp. The talk page was deleted with the reason "Housekeeping and routine (non-controversial) cleanup". This didn't seem a good reason for deleting talk page of a ip under a current active block, so I restored. If there is something particularly problematic in the article history, I have no objection to purging the personal attack edits, or deleting the page then creating a new version with sufficient info to give vandalism fighters a general idea of the ip's problem history. I see now that last was perhaps what you intended to do. I previously had no way to know that. I suggest if you do something like that, you put a note in the deletion summary description so other admins can see what was being done and why, as that's a bit less simple than routine housekeeping. Thank you for your work. Cheers, -- Infrogmation ( talk) 12:41, 29 March 2009 (UTC) reply

Orphaned non-free image (Image:SpecialtyRecord.jpg)

⚠

Thanks for uploading Image:SpecialtyRecord.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently 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. 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 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 " 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 non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Aspects ( talk) 18:33, 9 April 2009 (UTC) reply

Gottlieb photos

Yes I do think there is a way to reuse these photos, because it says right in the website:

Access: Permitted; subject to P&P policy on serving originals, which requires the use of digital images in lieu of the original negatives. [1]

Reproduction (photocopying, hand-held camera copying, photoduplication and other forms of copying allowed by "fair use"): Permitted, subject to P&P policy on copying, which prohibits service of the original negatives.

And only "Works created after January 1, 1978 are protected for the creator's life plus 70 years." So we should be allowed to use these images for educational purposes.

Why, if that's not a rationale enough case, then maybe I should Email Edward Gottlieb and have him type a letter of approval. Morahman7vn ( talk) 04:40, 17 April 2009 (UTC) reply

Once you take a little time to learn how its done, I think you'll find that the basics of editing Wikipedia are pretty easy.

Record Label Images

Thank you for uploading images/media to Wikipedia! As you may know, there is another Wikimedia Foundation project called Wikimedia Commons, a central media repository for all free media. In future, please upload media there instead (see m:Help:Unified login). That way, all of the other language Wikipedias can use them too, as well as our many sister projects. This will also allow our visitors to search for, view and use our media in one central location. If you wish to move previous uploads to Commons, see Wikipedia:Moving images to the Commons (you may view previous uploads by going to your user contributions on the left and choosing the 'file' namespace from the drop down box (or see [2]). Please note that non-free content, such as images claimed as fair use, cannot be uploaded to the Wikimedia Commons. Help us spread the word about Commons by informing other users, and please continue uploading!

Rather than me tagging these all indvidually (and leaving a load of bot-spam on your page), could you consider updating and moving these as a batch?

Greenburgh

Lowey: I live in Greenburgh and she is my Congresswomen. It is incorrectly identified on Wikipedia that Rep. Engel represents Greenburgh, but in fact, Lowey does. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.68.197.197 ( talk) 04:32, 4 June 2009 (UTC) reply

Okay. Including a reference when changing such info helps with confirmation; just a link to any local news story mentioning the fact will do. I'd also suggest you choose a user name an log in. Cheers, -- Infrogmation ( talk) 13:17, 5 June 2009 (UTC) reply

In all of these cases, the essential info all seems to have already been there, just formatted from before Wikipedia used the templates. If the description says "1950" or "1920s", feel free to copy that date into the "date" field. The name of the record company, eg "Domino Records", can be listed in the "author" field (I don't recall ever seeing nor reading about even a single instance where the commercial artist in employ of a 78rpm era record company was credited by name for designing the label.)

Images needing information in respect of Commons Moves

Categories_for_discussion - Monk and ODJB

Just to be clear - when I said "I felt uneasy about the naming of Category:Songs with music written by Thelonious Monk a few weeks ago" I didn't mean that I was the one naming the category thus! I just meant that I'd seen it and didn't think it quite right, but didn't do anything to counter-propose. AllyD ( talk) 16:34, 10 June 2009 (UTC) reply

Re: High Society

Hi! Looks like every time we meet, we disagree about whether or not something is a song :) I considered moving the article to High Society (composition) first, but because the tune does in fact have lyrics (albeit seldom heard), and because a lot of readers will probably be more familiar with "(song)", I decided it was better to go with "(song)". I'm sorry for not starting a discussion, but I thought it was a non-controversial move. I'll list this at WP:RM for further input. Jafeluv ( talk) 16:08, 11 June 2009 (UTC) reply

More Information requested

I don't recall the exact details off hand. I'll put on my "to do" list to check. I might be able to turn up another/better PD Roppolo image while I'm at it; I'm pretty sure there were a few photos of him published pre-1923. -- Infrogmation ( talk) 01:12, 19 June 2009 (UTC) reply

Re: 1915

Sorry about the Commons link, that totally slipped my mind. I'll check my other recent page moves, and hopefully I didn't make the same mistake twice. Thanks for the heads up! ♬♩ Hurricanehink ( talk) 00:03, 19 June 2009 (UTC) reply

A tag has been placed on File:JSSargent1887.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I2 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, 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 the talk page explaining your position, 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.

Fair use rationale for File:MercuryAd1950.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:MercuryAd1950.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

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 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Papa November ( talk) 10:13, 4 July 2009 (UTC) reply

Replaceable fair use Image:FrogmanHenry1963Twist.jpg

Replaceable fair use
Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:FrogmanHenry1963Twist.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{ di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Aspects ( talk) 15:19, 4 July 2009 (UTC) reply

Hi! You know a thing or two about early jazz, if I understand correctly. Could you read through the List of pre-1920 jazz standards for any factual errors?

Thanks for uploading File:ChacDresden.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, 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, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

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 this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 01:19, 11 July 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG ( talk) 01:19, 11 July 2009 (UTC) reply
