File source problem with File:2009.08.25 Kei Nishikori.JPG

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:2009.08.25 Kei Nishikori.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 02:24, 26 August 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. 72.88.101.36 (talk) 02:24, 26 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome and thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test on the page United States passport worked, and it has been reverted or removed.

Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Palestinian Authority passport, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. - Gump Stump (talk) 15:39, 31 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Some files that you uploaded, such as File:VisaFreeAccessforIndianCitizens.PNG, and File:Canadian Diplomatic Passport.jpg, have licensing issues.

Let me know if you have any questions. - Gump Stump (talk) 15:39, 27 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Misleading and unnecessary edits

Hi, I just wanted to kindly ask you to read your sources carefully, comprehend them and then edit pages. Many edits you have done in passport pages were biased and based on either broken links or no sources at all. Regards Majalinno 21:06, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

File source and copyright licensing problem with File:USvisafree.jpg

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:USvisafree.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.

As well as adding the source, we also need to know the terms of the license that the copyright holder has published the file under, usually done by adding a licensing tag. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

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 files may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the file will be deleted 48 hours after 07:04, 5 February 2010 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Lәo_(βǃʘʘɱ) 07:04, 5 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
