Uploading copyrighted images
Hello. From your recent recreation of LFDTS I assume you are the LFDTS public affairs officer (former user
- I forgot to say that the non-free content exceptions only apply to copyrighted works that cannot be replaced by a free one (like unit logos). The picture you just uploaded could possibly be replaced by a free image and thus does not fall under the exception criterion and will be removed unless donated by the copyright holder. You also have to fill the rationale, otherwise it's invalid. Thank you. — CharlieEchoTango — 20:34, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
File source problem with File:Media Escort.JPG
Thank you for uploading File:Media Escort.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, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.
If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

More information needed about File:26 Bn CEF.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:26 Bn CEF.jpg. However, it needs some more work before it is okay to use on Wikipedia.
Please click here and do the following:
- Add a description of where the image comes from (not what it is) and who the creator is. Please be specific, and include a link if you can.
- Find the appropriate license from the list of free, non-free media, or public domain options. Copy the license template and paste it in the file's page, and save.
If you follow these steps, your image can help enhance Wikipedia. If you have any questions, feel free to ask at the media copyright questions page.

File permission problem with File:Mosin Nagant 91-30 Sight.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Mosin Nagant 91-30 Sight.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.
If you created 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 [email protected], stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter 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 [email protected].
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 on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 20:02, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

Your upload of File:21 CEF Patch.jpg or contribution to its description is noted, and thanks (even if belatedly) for your contribution.

Image file formats
Hi, thanks for creating all these military patch images; they're filling a definite gap. However, they'd be most useful if
- they were in SVG, which is a superior file format for geometric designs—it can be scaled arbitrarily large or small without the image looking bad, and they also support having a transparent background. The free editor Inkscape is capable of creating SVGs.
- they were uploaded straight to Wikimedia Commons, so that other language editions of Wikipedia can use them.
If either isn't possible, that's fine too—your stuff is useful as it is, and other editors can convert to SVG and upload to Commons later—but doing these things really does help the encyclopaedia. Facing the Sky (talk) 10:43, 8 April 2014 (UTC)

Queenstown / Queenston
Kprtqrf06, I note that you has reverted Battle honours of the British and Imperial Armies. To clarify, I do not believe that "Queenstown" is an auto-correction - the first version of the article uses Queenstown. My source [[1]] says Queenstown (aka: Queenston).
I fully accept that the location is now called Queenston but at the time of the battle was called Queenstown, hence the spelling of the Battle Honour. Spellings change over time, note for example
I did a Google search to find your cited source [[2]] but I cannot find Queenston / Queenstown in the document. In addition, I had a specific look at

It seems from the note that you left there that the issue is not a matter of mistaking Crown Copyright as public domain, but more a matter of not realizing how much rewriting is required on Wikipedia to keep us comfortably compliant with the U.S. copyright laws that govern us. English is a word rich language; while titles cannot be changed and facts cannot be copyrighted, there are many ways to put facts together into sentences. U.S. copyright law recognizes copyright for any spark of human creativity, no matter how slight. Accordingly, we cannot add material like this to Wikipedia:

- While facts are not copyrightable, creative elements of presentation – including both structure and language – are.
- To help make similarities more clear, I have duplicated text that is verbatim in both works. In the first passage, you have omitted three words but otherwise the content is verbatim. In the second, there is a little more modification with a few words altered and omitted and one added, but the result is still very clearly derived from the first, with the same structure and almost all of the same language.
- There are recommendations for using facts from sources without encountering these issues at Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing.
- Now that the CCI is open, editors will be asked to review the articles for such issues and to remove, flag or rewrite from scratch any content that duplicates incompatibly licensed sources, like those under crown copyright. Generally, you will not receive notifications when this happens - to avoid people being overwhelmed by such notices, we ask that those handling the CCI do not, as a rule. For that reason, if you want to see what issues have been found and how they have been handled, please keep the CCI on your watchlist.
- Please be very careful with future text additions. It is common for contributors who continue to have copyright issues after they have been advised of our policies and standards to be blockedfor the protection of the encyclopedia, our editors and our reusers. I believe your work here shows an interest in contributing knowledge, and I hope that you will be able to continue to do so without any further interruptions or issues. If you have any doubt about how much rewriting is necessary, I'd encourage you to ask for feedback.
- As a final note, I realized in evaluating the CCI request that you have also on several occasions copied content from one Wikipedia article to another. This can be done, but there are steps that must be taken, as content on Wikipedia is also not public domain. In order to comply with the license granted by our editors, content must be fully attributed. Please see moveof an article, if you are simply trying to give a page a new name, as the move keeps the attribution history intact.
- Please let me know if you have any questions about any of this. You can reach me at my talk page or attract me here by adding the text [[User:Moonriddengirl]] (complete with brackets) to your reply. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:33, 16 August 2014 (UTC)
