License tagging for Image:Nigerian Machine.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Nigerian Machine.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. 02:07, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

OLPC[edit]

OLPC is based on constructionist learning theories pioneered by Seymour Papert and later Alan Kay and Mitchel Resnick

Not sure why it took me 9 months to notice, but on 2005 December 31 you added Mitch Resnick's name to the $100_laptop#History page (aka The Children's Machine. With all due respect to Mitch, to my knowledge, although he is an occasional advisor to the project, there is nothing in the laptop or the program that is based on Mitch's work. If the intention is to clarify constructionist learning, then it may make more sense to mention his contributions here. --Walter.bender 14:48, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't recall why I added his name to the article. If you say that he is just an occasional adviser then I'm sure that is correct. FYI, he is listed as on of the principles on the official FAQ. Cheers, jaco♫plane 15:14, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed the reference to Mitch Resnick from the article. I'll see what I can do to mention him in the Constructionist learning article, but I'll have to do some research here first before I could really feel comfortable editing the article. If there is something else in the article that you feel could be improved please let me know and I'll see what I can do. I hope work on the laptop is proceeding well!

File permission problem with File:Qadas.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Qadas.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-enwikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

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-enwikimedia.org.

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:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kelly ^hi! 19:51, 24 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for March 30[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Franco Lodato, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages DK and Dupont. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 10:48, 30 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion pending for File:Nicolás Mangieri Cauterucce.jpg[edit]

Hello, Walter.bender. Some time ago, a file you uploaded — File:Nicolás Mangieri Cauterucce.jpg — was tagged with {{OTRS pending}}, indicating that you (or perhaps the copyright holder if you did not create this image) submitted a statement of permission to permissions-en@wikimedia.org. Though there is often a backlog processing messages received at this address, we should have received your message by now.

If you have not submitted (or forwarded) a statement of permission, please send it immediately to permissions-en@wikimedia.org and let us know at the OTRS noticeboard that you have done so.

If you have already sent this message, it is possible that there was a problem receiving it. Please re-send it to permissions-en@wikimedia.org and let us know at the OTRS noticeboard that you have done so.

If we don't hear from you within one week, the file will be deleted. If we can help you, please feel free to ask at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 14:42, 8 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

File source problem with File:OLPC Red in laptop mode.JPG[edit]

Thank you for uploading File:OLPC Red in laptop mode.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, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next seven days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.
