Central Lee High School

Hi! I moved the article to its proper capitalization of Central Lee High School. I've also formatted it as a stub article. Any other info you can add on the school would be most welcome. - Lucky 6.9 19:34, 8 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for Image:6062.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:6062.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 08:04, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Mlbarizonalogo.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Mlbarizonalogo.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Fritz S. (Talk) 17:12, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Quincyseal.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Quincyseal.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 03:40, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:QuincyIllinoisLogo.gif

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:QuincyIllinoisLogo.gif. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 03:39, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

List of deaths due to COVID-19

I am afraid I have removed your additions to the list, and deleted the two articles. This was for two reasons: the articles were written like obituaries and didn't appear to make any claim of importance or significance; and they were copied from a third-party source (according to [1] and [2] the obituaries were first published by the Herald-Whig newspaper), which is a copyright violation - all Wikipedia text is under the GFDL and CC-BY-SA license, and you can't license something that you haven't written or obtained the copyright holder's permission to do so. People don't get to have a Wikipedia article, or get included on the list, solely because of dying of the coronavirus; millions of people have. (If the two were your family members, then you have my sympathies, but I am afraid Wikipedia is not a memorial site.) - Mike Rosoft (talk) 07:32, 7 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
