[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Harriet-Bandshell.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Harriet-Bandshell.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).
The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.
Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Thank you. Andrew c 00:02, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Your reversion of vandalism on the Tiger Woods article
Good work reverting the vandalism to the article about Tiger Woods. Fighting vandals on Wikipedia is an unfortunately constant battle, so it's always good to find people willing to jump into the fight defending the Wiki! If I may give a piece of advice, because vandals are often simply seeking attention, it's generally accepted Wikipedia policy to simply revert their vandalism and comment with "reverting vandalism" or even just "rvv" instead of explaining what you're reverting, so as to give vandals as little attention as possible. That way they're not encouraged to continue vandalizing. (It's also a lot less typing for us vandal-fighters!) Thanks again for helping keep the Wiki squeaky-clean, JDoorjam Talk 16:17, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Image:505logo.PNG tagging
I've changed the tagging on Image:505logo.PNG to {{logo}} because while you made it, it is a direct copy of the 505 logo and is the same shape, size, and arrangement as http://www.int505.org/505_logo.gif. As such, it is protecteder under copyright and the {{logo}} tag applies. Do you sail 505s? --Durin 15:56, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
- Even when a copyright or trademark notice is not associated with a work, it must be presumed that it exists. A couple of years back, another dinghy class (Star, Finn, something...don't remember) took a shirt making company to court and won because that company was using their class logo. So, in general, Wikipedia always presumes something is copyrighted unless it is specifically stated that it isn't, or it is licensed in a matter compatible with use on Wikipedia. In the case of the 505 logo, fair use policy allows us to use it on the article about 505s. Similarly, you can use logos from any class association for articles about that boat class and/or association. --Durin 17:56, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Thank you!
Just wanted to say thanks for reverting the vandalism to my user page. :) Hbackman 04:35, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
