Hey there. We appreciate your recent upload of Image:CCA from the air.jpg and your notice at the talk page. However, all content on Wikipedia uses the GNU Free Documentation License, which allows anyone to use it. Following this message, all images restricting their use for others became strictly disallowed. Can you please request the copyright holder to release it under this or otherwise free license instead? ~ Michaelas10Respect my authoritah

Hi, on March 16 you added the "unreferenced" template to this article. Would you mind using the talk page to specify which parts of the article mostly needs references? Thuresson 11:09, 10 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading

first fair use criterion
in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to
    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 the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our

Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. VegitaU 15:37, 23 August 2007 (UTC)[reply

Please Read Samson Option Talk

We had MUCH debate on Samson Option article and many changes to it, so your just going in without look at or anyway commenting on TALK page very disruptive. I made things worse by only undoing your last changes. Have to figure out how to revert to before you made any changes. Please see the material of mine that was deleted and you'll see that even very specific Samson option material was deleted because a couple people want to delete the article entirely. but I happen to agree that all that material you entered is more general doctrine related than Samson Option, which is understood to be massive retaliation against NON-nuclear nations and therefore different than usual MAD. Please comment on TALK. Thanks. Carol Moore 18:09, 3 December 2007 (UTC)User:Carolmooredc User talk:Carolmooredc

Another editor has added the "{{

permitted conditions
then:

  • state clearly the source of the image. If it has been copied from elsewhere on the web you should provide links to: the image itself, the page which uses it and the page which contains the license conditions.
  • add the relevant
    copyright tag
    .

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 (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on [[ Talk:Image:Two Israeli F-15s.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. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Polly (Parrot) 22:07, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use
Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Pririt Batis.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
    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. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Anrie (talk) 15:49, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply

  • make a note permitting reuse under the
    this list

    here
    .

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 permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

Conflicted licensing on image File:Wells_land_ironclad.jpg

Non-free rationale for File:Ostervillephoto2.jpg
