If you would care to look above, you would notice that I had explicitly mentioned that it was cropped from a picture on Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:NetworkTopologies.png), which is in Public Domain (it is mentioned on the image page). The original picture contains all the topologies together, and to improve content, I cropped each topology and added content to the various topology pages. I think things couldn't get more obvious than this..

This bot tagged the image uploaded by me, which was cropped from an image on Wikipedia which explicitly mentions that it has been released into the public domain. Infact I have been tagged for not mentioning my source, which is ridiculous since 3 lines above that nasty notice is a mention of where I got my image from. (My Image: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Bus-Topology.gif)

You're right. The bot can't read the note of "I found it at this URL". But it can read the {{somewebsite}} tag you put on the image description page just fine, and based on that tag and the age of the picture, it decided that the picture needed to be removed from the article. In order to be used on Wikipedia, an image needs both a source and a copyright status, and you only provided the source. --Carnildo 02:15, 22 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
