Hello HailFire~commonswiki,
the following content you uploaded is not free and therefore had to be deleted:
- Image:FlickrObamaGMU01.jpg
The Wikimedia Commons (this website) only hosts media files which can be used for any purpose, including:
- use in any work, regardless of content
- creation of derivative works
- commercial use
- free distribution
See Commons:Licensing for the copyright policy on the Wikimedia Commons. Some other Wikimedia projects have different licensing policies. For example, the English Wikipedia allows fair use of sounds and photographs. This is not the case on the Wikimedia Commons: "fair use" materials are not acceptable here.
Please make sure that you only upload works you have created yourself, those which are out of copyright, or those for which you have the required permission for the work to be used in all the ways described above. Again, please read through Commons:Licensing, which is quite crucial to understanding how the Wikimedia Commons works. Thanks for your contribution, and please do leave me a message if you have further questions. -- Bryan (talk to me) 12:31, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
- Image:FlickrObamaGMU02.jpg had to be deleted as well, because this image is released under a license that does not allow commercial use. Please see Licenses or project scope for reasons to not include non-commercial only images into Commons. --Matt314 19:30, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
- Images that were created by the flickr user, and licensed under the CC-BY (Creative Commons Attribution) and the CC-BY-SA (Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike) are allowed here. That means no ND (NoDerivative) and NC (NonCommericial). If you have anymore questions, feel free to ask. -- Bryan (talk to me) 15:26, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
Image Tagging Image:Barackobamasig.jpg[edit]
|
Thanks for uploading Image:Barackobamasig.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikimedia Commons (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page. If the content is a derivative of a copyrighted work, you need to supply the names and a licence of the original authors as well.
If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag, then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{self|cc-by-sa-2.5}} to release it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license or {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find all your uploads using the Gallery tool. Thank you.

Flickr images[edit]
They were ok :) However, make sure that you upload the highest possible resolution from Flickr. You can find that by clicking the "different sizes" button, and than on originals. And about the signature, as far as I know, signatures are not copyrightable in the US. -- Bryan (talk to me) 21:02, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Your account will be renamed[edit]
Hello,
The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.
Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called HailFire. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name HailFire~commonswiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.
Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation
